Phillip says that if Roger and Amanda go through with the wedding then Roger will get half of everything she owns. Alan-Michael arrives and shows them the Business Section of the paper. Spaulding stock is rising and sources say that it is all because of Roger's name being linked with Spaulding. Alex says that this is ridiculous because that was all a ruse to get Alan back on his feet.

Amanda tells Roger that her neck is not one of her erogenous zones. Roger tells her to never sneak up on him again. He says his training is very hard to forget.

He asks if they are alone or is everyone there She tells him that Dinah, Hart and the gang just arrived. She says that Diana and her friends seem to have had a great time. He speculates on the kind of evening Hart had. She says that he seems to have taken it quite well. Roger says that he thinks that it won't be long before Hart sends Diana's friends packing – along with Diana.

Amanda says she certainly hopes so. She says she is sick of him dividing his time between her and his "little domestic dramas." She wants to know when he is going to start helping her take over everything with the Spaulding name. Roger tells her that the investors are clamoring to have him back at Spaulding. She tells him to get up and get started. He tells her that he has to get dressed first – she continues laying in bed – he tells her that "he is very shy." Amanda gets off the bed and gives him his pants. She turns her head as he gets up and puts them on.

Alex, Phillip and Alan-Michael are talking about Roger and their present predicament. Alex says there is no way they can stop the merger now. Alan-Michael and Phillip say there is no way they can go through with it. They were just involved with this to help get Alan back on his feet. Alex says that they must go through with it now that it has become public.

Bridget is at Company waiting on tables. Dylan is sitting at a table and tries to stop her as she passes. She tells him that she will be with him in a minute. He says "well, I've waited this long, I guess I can wait a little longer." She recognizes his voice, turns around and runs into his arms. She asks him why he didn't tell her that he was coming back. She adds, "of course, you didn't tell me that you were leaving either -- so why would you tell me that you were coming back." He tells her that she has every right to be angry and doesn't have to speak to him if she doesn't want to. But, he tells her that he would hate to lose someone that looks as fantastic as she does. It takes her a moment to realize that he said he could see her. She grabs him and hugs him letting him know how excited she is that he can see.

Hart enters the barn and Roger is there. Roger brings up the fact that he told Hart that he would be out of his house as soon as he was healed from the beating. He tells Hart that he knows it is hard for him to live in the house with someone who tried to drive his fiancée insane. Hart says that he won't forget. Roger says that he meant what he said the night before. He may remember what happened but he is not going to be that way again. He tells Hart that they have gotten closer now that he has let go of the anger. He says he wants to continue a real father-son relationship. Hart says that now that he has Peter in his life he realizes what it is like to love a son; and, he would really like to be Roger's son. They agree that everything is okay between them.

Hart asks Roger if he remembers a conversation they had about Diana. Roger says that he remembers, it was the first time that Hart opened up to him and he thought it was great.

Hart says that he guesses that he really didn't know her like he thought he would. Roger assures him that everything will be all right.

Hart leaves. Leo enters. Roger tells him that he wants the divorce to Diana to go through as soon as possible. Leo is confused because Roger told him to stall it. Roger says that he has new information – Diana and Hart are self-destructing on their own. Roger says that he is about to become a married man. Amanda enters and asks what they are talking about – she says "we aren't really getting married – are we?"

Roger tells Amanda that they are not really getting married, but they have to make it look real. Roger tells Leo to take care of the divorce. Leo leaves.

She tells him that Hart is a great father for Peter and that they are trying to be a family.

Diana's friends join Diana, Roger and Amanda. They take Diana back into the house. Amanda asks Roger how they are going to take Spaulding from Alan. Roger asks her what is Alan's greatest obsession besides power. She says that it is his family. Roger says that his family is also his greatest weakness. He says they are going to isolate him and then when he has no one to turn to – they get Spaulding. Then Amanda will get what she wants – her spot at Spaulding. She asks Roger what he gets from all this. He says satisfaction and his place beside her at Spaulding.

Diana is going through a bridal magazine with her friends. Jean Luc starts talking about all of them going on vacation together. Diana says that it sounds good. They ask her to go with them as one last fling before she is married. She agrees as Hart walks in.

Dylan and Bridget are talking. He tells her that he thinks she feels the same way about Hart that she felt for him before he let him down. Bridget says that she got over that. She feels that Hart is a great dad for Peter. They argue and she accuses Dylan of just not liking Hart because he slept with Julie the night before Julie and Dylan were supposed to marry. Dylan agrees that he doesn't like Hart. He says he thinks he is a user and a con man. Bridget says that Hart is a good man, that she has faith in him now. Dylan says he can't believe the way she looks when she talks about him, does she really think that she has a chance with Hart.

Bridget tells him that Hart and Diana are engaged. Dylan asks what that means to her. She says that Diana is not right for him. And he asks her if she is? She tells Dylan that he is not the only one who has been to school, she has too – the school of hard knocks. Also, she says that Hart has been there and Dylan has not. She said that it has also taught her that she doesn't need Dylan. She says that Dylan, of all people, knows that the wedding is not over until the bride and groom say "I do." He asks her if she is going to charge into the wedding and stop it, too. She says that she won't resort to that, but that Diana and Hart won't be married.

Diana sees Hart and apologizes for not coming to the barn yet. He tells her not to worry that the vet is there with the horse and that she is going to be okay. He asks to speak to her alone.

He says that his "halo is getting a little ragged and that he would like to see her friends out of there soon." She tells him that he just has to be patient for a little while longer. Jean Luc walks out and tries to convince her to play cards. She tells him that the trip is off. Hart leaves.

Alan says the only way to save Spaulding Enterprises is to let the merger happen. Phillip, Alan-Michael and Alex start to object. But Alan says that they are the ones that got them into this mess – not him. He says they have to protect their assets. Phillip and Alan-Michael say to forget about it – let Roger go and let the stock prices drop. Alex says they could lose everything. Alan-Michael asks her if the company hasn't hurt the family enough. Phillip says they can stand to lose it because they are knee deep in servants as it is. She says they are talking about survival. Phillip says that they will still have a company. Alan says that Roger is already in – let him stay in and then they will neutralize him by appealing to his colossal ego. Roger always wants more. They want to welcome him to the company, let him believe he is indispensable and when he starts believing it, then they strike. Phillip asks him if he plans to let his daughter marry him – is he going to allow that. Alan says no, but they aren't going to let Roger know it.

Amanda and Roger come to the door. Amanda tells them to congratulate her fiancée because he has single-handedly given Spaulding Enterprises the largest quarter they have ever seen. Alan smiles.
