At Crossroads, Ben leaves Blair a message that the money for B&B is in the accounts. Viki arrives and the two share some close moments. Rae and Sykes come in looking for her daughter. She explains how Daniel left a note in her hotel room saying that she would find the answers she was looking for there.

Renee tells Asa he will lose everything if it comes out that he set up Will. She urges Asa not to let Max continue encouraging him in this vendetta against the Rappaports. He responds that unlike the rest of the family, Max is the only one who is loyal. Meanwhile, Skye is still locked in the wine cellar. Although she feels tempted, she vows not to drink, and also a brutal revenge on Blair.

Lindsay asks Bo if they could make a baby together and put everything in the past behind them. Bo responds to her that the timing is way off. He says can't make love either, although he hasn't forgotten how it was when they were together. They can't go right back to the way they were by having a baby. He admits he will never stop loving her either. They discuss Matthew and Bo decides that he can't rip the baby away from Sam while he is grieving for Nora. He says doing that would be exactly like Asa and he refuses to be anything like his father. Lindsay reminds him that the longer he waits the harder it will be for everyone. Melanie interrupts them and Lindsay notices that she has divorce papers in her hands. Lindsay secretly plans to manipulate her into telling Sam that Matthew may not be his.

Ohio

The band arrives at a hotel in Ohio. Will comments that they are getting further and further from Llanview. Jessica reminds him that he can still contact Ben, who's all ready to get him out of the country. Will insists that he will not leave unless Jess asks him to so she can get on with her own life. Jessica tells him that they're in this together. She leaves to take a shower, and Cristian and Will fight over her some more. Cris wants Will to take his uncle's advice so Jessica won't get hurt. Will notes how convenient that would be for Cristian. Cristian tells Will that he is nothing but a selfish, rich, spoiled brat. "And you're married!" Will yells in response. The two continue to fight until Will storms out of the room to go for a walk. Outside of the motel, Will finds Heather dressed in a skimpy bikini bathing suit. Heather is interested in "Jose," and asks if he and "Meg" are going steady.

Meanwhile, Jessica gets out of the shower and asks Cristian where Will is. She immediately suspects that Cristian said something to him. Cristian tells her that he just told Will the truth, that he should take his uncle's advice. Jessica is angry and tells Cristian that she is the one who loves both of them, and he shouldn't blame Will, he should blame her. Nothing is going to get sorted out until Will is cleared. For now, they just have to help him stay out of Statesville. Jessica makes it clear that she is making sure nothing happens to Will. She rushes out the door.

Cristian angrily goes out the door and finds Heather waiting for him. He asks her what she wants, and she replies that it's the same thing he does. She likes that he's shy; it's a real turn-on. Cris pushes her away, but Heather is persistent. "I know you want me. Stop fighting it and go with it." She explains that "Bill" told her all about it, and she feels the same way. Cristian curiously asks what "Bill" told her, and she explains that he told her how shy "Jose" is; he might even be a virgin because he's so afraid to make the first move. Cristian tries to get to the door, but Heather stops him, trying to get him to relax. Cristian says that he doesn't want Heather. He explains that he is in love with "Meg," as is, "Bill," who is just trying to get her all to himself. Heather storms out angrily, dropping her cell phone on the way out. Cristian picks it up off the floor and looks at it thoughtfully.

In a nearby park, Jessica looks on as Will says to himself, "Maybe he's right. Maybe I am being a selfish brat." Jessica sits down next to him, and Will tells her that even though it may be selfish, he's glad she is here with him. He can deal with anything as long as he knows she is there with him. He looks around the park and tells her that it reminds him of the first time they were on the road, after Megan. Jessica agrees, she remembers sleeping in the park that smelled like honeysuckle. She mentions the elderly couple they spoke with in the park. She tries to remember their names, but can't. Will doesn't remember, either. He just remembers that he was falling in love with her, and she had no idea. Both are thoughtful for a moment, and Jessica realizes that Megan would have been over a year old. Lying on the grass, Will remembers looking at the stars his first night in Llanview. Jessica remembers that Will was so full of himself then. Will tells her that he thought she was impossibly naive. "Look at us now, looking at the stars once again, but things are completely different," Jessica comments. "Some for the better. I don't think I'm as full of myself now, and the last thing I'd call you is naive." Jessica again comments on how things are completely different. "But the stars are the same," Will says, and Jessica agrees. Will gets up and tells her that he saw a creek a little further down, he wants to go look for the jello fish. They leave together, just in time for Cristian to see them go off.


Crossroads

Rae tells John that he is a terrific friend. He offers her a drink, bragging about how he can mix any drink. Rae requests a pousse cafe. She sees how clueless John is and teaches him how to make one. She realizes that Daniel won't show up and wonders if she should just give up. John tells her that he never gives up on anything. They are nearly kissing when Sophia and Antonio burst in. Antonio explains that they are still stuck together. Detective West said that John had the only key. John laughs, and they figure out that all of them have keys. He unlocks the handcuffs, and Antonio happily leaves. Sophia is upset, and John promises her that tomorrow will be better. Sophia doubts it and says that she is quitting. Rae comforts her and tells her that she can't quit, but Sophia insists that she has to. She doesn't fit in, and they can't make her go back there. John reminds Sophia of how excited she was at the thought of just applying to the academy. He wants her to remember those days. Sophia won't hear it. She informs them that she has better plans. She's read Rae's column. "I'm the baby that was given away," she says. Rae calmly asks her why she thinks she is. "She needs a daughter, I need a life. Sounds like a good fit to me," Sophia explains. Sophia knows she isn't the daughter, but Rae's "friend" doesn't have to know that. She insists that she would make a really good daughter. Rae tells her that she can't help her; she's not even the right age. Sophia wants the two of them to fool her together. Rae says that the column was about her. Sophia apologizes and promises that she will help find Rae's daughter. Rae says that she is running out of leads. Sophia says that Rae cannot give up, she and John won't let her. They will find her daughter. And in the meantime, Sophia wants to pretend to be Rae's daughter. Rae agrees that it would be wonderful to have Sophia as her surrogate daughter, even after they find her real daughter--if they do. John interrupts and changes that to "when." Rae asks Sophia if she really wants Rae to act as her mother. "More than anything," Sophia replies. Rae orders her to march herself back to the academy and make it work. No daughter of hers is a quitter. Sophia tells Rae that even though they aren't related, Rae is more like her mother than her own ever was. They hug, and Sophia leaves for the police station. Rae decides then to call it a night, saying that she is not giving up. Next time they'll find him. She and John leave. Standing in the doorway, Rae calls into the room, "Hey, Daniel, did you hear that?" The door shuts, and inside Crossroads, someone moves around.


Diner

Roseanne sits at the counter in the diner. Carlotta is angry that she is there. Roseanne explains that she just wants to talk about the diner. She informs Carlotta that she is not foreclosing and forgave the debt. She hands Carlotta the title to the diner. Antonio walks in and hears Roseanne insisting that it is not a trick. She is just trying to make up for what she did. Antonio tells her that this won't help Cristian, who might go to prison because of her. Roseanne says she knows it doesn't help, but she is doing what she can. Antonio asks her to stay away from him, his mother, the diner, and Cristian, when he returns. His cell phone rings. Antonio hears Cristian on the other end. The police officers at a nearby table force Cristian to be careful in what he says. Cristian tells his brother that he is fine and asks if Will has been cleared yet. Antonio says that he has his own ideas and isn't giving up. Antonio gets off the phone and sees Roseanne talking to Lisa and the other officer at the table. She is telling them that she wishes she could help them. She wants Cristian back, too, but she hasn't heard from him, and she knows his family hasn't either. Antonio supports this statement, commenting that he wishes he could just tell Cris to forget about Will and come home. Antonio pulls Roseanne to the side, and she explains that she realized Cristian was on the phone. The cops suspected, too, and she distracted them to buy Antonio some time. "First you turn him in, then you protect him. I don't get you at all," Antonio says. "No, you don't," Roseanne replies before leaving.


Police Station

Antonio is starting to put in for a new partner when Sophia rushes in to try to stop him. She tells him that she realizes it was all her fault, she was a "total jerk." She knows she can be a good cop and partner. She promises that she won't make any more wisecracks and asks for another chance. Antonio has softened after his earlier exchange with Roseanne, and he agrees to give her one more chance.


Llanfair

Ben and Viki move into her bedroom. Ben asks her if she is okay, and Viki replies that she is fine. "I love you, Blondie, and I want to make love to you," Ben tells her. Viki smiles and tells him that she wants to make love to him, too. Ben says that he does not want to rush her. They kiss, but before they go any further, Ben senses that something is off with Viki. He wants her to be honest and guesses that she isn't ready for this yet. Viki apologizes; Ben tells her that she has nothing to be sorry for. Viki tells him that the disease has changed her, but she doesn't want to let it stop her from living her life, from loving him, from wanting him to love her. "Nothing could," Ben insists. He tells her that he understands. All he wants is for them to face Viki's cancer together. Viki says that is what she wants, too. Ben tells her that the surgery and reconstruction doesn't matter to him. She will always be his Blondie, and they can go as slowly as she wants. He believes that they will have all the time in the world. Viki wants to believe that, too. Ben tells her that she can. They will have lots of years ahead of them. Later, Viki comes back into the room, dressed for bed. Ben tells her that he checked around the house, and it needs a lot of work. He starts outlining the things that need to be fixed as they climb into bed. He holds her close to him as they lie in bed. Viki tells him that the day before her surgery, the day she saw him in the park, she had a long conversation with him in the attic, even though he wasn't there. She felt scared, like she was adrift at sea. She's still on that journey at sea, but now she can steer, headed into the safe harbor of his arms.

Viki is ecstatic from an evening of making love with Ben. She runs to pick up on a message on the phone machine but it's not Jess, it's just a solicitor. Ben offers to go back on Jess' trail but Viki believes that Jess is old enough to have her wishes honored. Well then he'll have to tell Asa the truth and put an end to it all, Ben says.

Cris looks at the clock and wonders where Jess and Will could be since they've been gone all night. They finally return with breakfast. Jess goes off to find sugar for the coffee and the two guys have words. Cris tells Will he'll hit him if this ever happens again-they could've been picked up by the cops. Will says this is the first time in a long time that Jess felt free and he just couldn't bring her back. They argue over Jess until she gets back and realizes what's going on. She orders them to apologize. As they sit down to eat, the young men become extremely sweet and obviously phony towards each other.

Kelly is busy with her story about Asa for the Sun while Joey worries over her constant working but he understands. When the doorbell rings, there stands Asa with a process server. Kelly has been subpoenaed-he's suing her for libel and he'll take on Joey too. His grandson lists all of the family members that are no longer in Asa's life and says that if Kelly is sued, he will be on that list too. Asa tells him that Kelly betrayed him and she will betray Joey as well. After Asa leaves, Joey is off to find incriminating photos of the old man. He suggests that his wife call Kevin for a plan for the newspapers. Once she leaves, Kevin calls and leaves her a message on the machine about Asa's story. When Kelly returns to pick up something she's forgotten, a messenger gives her a note. Mr. B wants to meet her in room 1713 of the Palace Hotel because he can't stay away from her. She assumes it's from Kevin.

Bo stops by to see Sam about his civil suit with R.J. but he's busy with Matthew since the two of them have become inseparable. Lanie is there and thanks Bo for giving her help and advice on Colin. She's signed the divorce papers, she informs him. Bo watches Sam and his son from the doorway while Lanie is off getting them something to drink. Just then, Lindsay walks in and thinks Bo is there to see Sam about Matthew. He's not there for that, he tells her and goes off with Sam while Lanie comes to collect the baby. Once in Sam's office, Bo finds it difficult to concentrate, while in the other room, Lindsay tries to convince Lanie that Colin is just like Bo and they will work it out. When Bo decides he can't discuss the case and wants to leave, Sam spies Lindsay holding Matthew. He goes on a tirade and tells her she was ordered to stay away from his child. Bo leaves, Lanie is confused and Sam grabs Matthew and heads out of the room. Lindsay confides in her sister that Sam is just upset because the baby may be Bo's. She eventually puts Lanie up to talking to Sam about it to suggest a new DNA test.

At the Palace Hotel, Joey thanks Renee for the wonderful room that he and Kelly will be able to use. They chat about Asa and Renee says that only Asa can stop himself, but there's no one left. Joey shouldn't worry about anything except to make Kelly happy. She'll take care of Asa.

Kelly begins to call the hotel when there's a knock at the door. It's Kevin and Kelly tells him off about the message she's received. After she slaps him, he gets her to realize he has no idea what she's talking about. When she shows him the note he tells her it's not from him. She wanted it to be from him.

Viki's doorbell rings-she also receives a subpoena from Asa but just laughs. When he threatens to sue her out of her newspaper she tells him he can't sue her for telling the truth. He thinks Viki should leave town, sell her newspaper and apologize to him. And wait until Clint finds out what she's done, he gloats. Ben tells Asa to speak to him if there's a problem.

Lindsay visits Bo-he asks her how she could do it.

Sam apologizes to Lanie for his outburst towards Lindsay but she understands and wants to help. She knows all about Matthew, she assures him and Sam agrees to talk about it. What exactly does she know, he asks.
