Not realizing that her co-worker, Victoria Lord, is wealthy and only working as a waitress as a temporary escape from her life in Llanview, Gigi tells Viki her dreams of becoming rich.

Gigi is eager to help when she meets Marcie McBain, who is a fugitive on the run with her adopted son, Tommy.

Gigi at first believes that Marcie is running from an abusive husband, but learns differently when Tommy's birth father, Todd Manning, arrives at the Bon Jour looking for his son.

Meanwhile, Brody's post-war trauma is worsened by the threat of losing the family he has constructed with Gigi and Shane.

In June 2009, Schuyler Joplin stuns Gigi with his theory that Stacy had switched someone else's stem cells for hers.

Rex's biological father, Mitch Laurence, kidnaps Stacy in February 2010, intending to raise her baby as his heir.

Gigi finds her and helps Stacy deliver a baby girl, whom she names Sierra Rose.

"Gigi" is declared brain dead, is taken off life support, and her heart is transplanted into Clint Buchanan.

Rex later finds out from David that there is a strip club in Anchorage, Kentucky called The Spotted Pony.

Kim tells the mystery woman that Rex was in town to investigate The Spotted Pony, and that he encountered her there.

Kim remembers that she was reunited with Stacy when she came to the Spotted Pony while she was working there that she survived drowning in that frozen lake by getting out of the water and also had plastic surgery done to her in South America so that she could take over her sister's life.

On October 14, Stacy wakes up from her coma, where she is later to be watched after by Kim's con artist brother and former grifting partner Cutter Wentworth, (Kim was set up to take the fall for her brother's murder of a wealthy man named Mr. Berger, who she and Cutter was scamming back when she was a con artist, when he put too much "mickey" into his drink while she was seducing him by working as a stripper at the Spotted Pony.

Kim's old French boarding school roommate Rama Patel helped conspired against her with Cutter so that she could avenge her for stealing her money to pay for her plastic surgery to improve her looks.)

Cutter asked Rex to let him sign his name on the paperwork to hand over his family's fortune to him in exchange to bring Gigi back to him after he told him that she was still alive.

Tina Lord opened the front door, and asked who she was, and "Stacy" told her that she thinks she's Gigi, and if she used to live there.

On November 14, "Stacy" gets ready to board a flight to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to reverse her plastic surgery before she is stopped by Cutter at the airport.

Cutter becomes touched by her change of heart and drops his scam against Rex, and lets her go to Brazil on the condition that he can come along with her on the trip.

"Billy Joe" Wentworth Jr., who grew up poor but became rich after investing his money in the stock market as a stock trader, was abandoned by his wife, and his and Kim's mother Alexandra, when his father suddenly committed suicide after becoming depressed and alienated himself from his loved ones after he failed to find his missing wife who took off with some of his money.

On December 1, Cutter comforts "Stacy" after she wakes up from a nightmare about Gigi's death and being trapped in that carbon monoxide poisoned basement.

"Stacy" reassures Cutter that by going along with her to Rio to reverse her plastic surgery and dropping his scam against Rex, that he was on the path to redemption.

Cutter tells "Stacy" the reason that he kissed her was because he started to develop feelings for her, and that she helped him reform his grifting ways.

Gigi and Cutter go to Paris, Texas after they randomly pick out their next destination on a globe so that they can start their new lives as a couple.

Gigi hides in the back room and calls Cutter on her cell phone to tell him that Viki and Rex are in town, and to help her sneak out of the Bon Jour before they see her.

Gigi rushes back in the room, and tells Cutter that they can't leave town yet because Rex and Shane are staying at the motel.

Gigi passes out, and remembers seeing Kim talking to her after she rescued her from the trapped basement that was leaking carbon monoxide.

Gigi arrives back at the Bon Jour Café to return her waitress uniform when she sees Rex, Shane, Viki, Moe, and Noelle inside.

Cutter finds Gigi and tells her that he worked out his payment problems to the motel clerk so that they can finally leave town to board a flight to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Gigi leaves the airport to go back to the Bon Jour Café, where she finally sees Rex face-to-face for the first time since her "death".

Rex scolds Gigi (still thinking she is "Stacy") for pretending to be her sister, and trying to scam him out of the Buchanan fortune with Cutter.

Gigi tells Rex that she was trying to get her memories back when she showed up at the Buchanan Mansion on Halloween night, and that Cutter later dropped his scam to help get her plastic surgery to look like Stacy again, but could not get the surgery because she was in a coma because of the toxic fumes she inhaled being trapped in that basement.
