At Company:
Marah comes out of Company and runs into Reva. Reva confronts her about the flowers and tells her that she is going to have to stop the games. She told her how Josh covered for her in front of Olivia but that doesn't mean anything. Marah thinks it is wonderful and that it shows Josh still loves Reva. Reva tells her daughter that her interference is impeding her decision to move on with her life. Marah tells her mom that they can talk later; she has to leave for the concert. Reva wont allow it. Marah tells her, "At this moment the concert is the most important thing in my life!" Reva ignores her and tells her again how she has to stop the interference. Marah must accept her parent's choices to move on. She should have other things on her mind like her education and college. Reva goes on and on until Marah asks her, "Why won't you let me go to the concert?" Olivia walks up to them from behind and says "Maybe because I'm the one who got you the tickets." Reva turned around stunned. "This isn't about you Olivia." Marah defends Olivia, and Olivia says one day really won't hurt anything but this is between them and she excuses herself and walks into company. Reva says she won't reward Marah for her deceit. Reva talk about tests and projects due soon in school and Marah says "You want me to do all of them NOW?" and Reva says yes because she doesn't want her to ruin her life. Marah said, "Oh come on Mom we all know that this isn't about me and my life this is about YOU and YOUR life!" Reva tells her how an education will open doors for her in the future and she cant give up. Marah said, "You're just mad because you always quit. You let things go. You let dad go too. I'm going home and don't worry I'll do my projects. Because I'm not giving up like you. " She gives the tickets to Reva and left in a rush. Olivia comes out and Reva waves the tickets in the air "Want to go to a concert?" Olivia politely says, "No, I'm actually on my way to meet Josh." Reva tells her that she isn't interested in an argument; she is focusing on other things. Reva says she had to figure out who she was. "You know what Reva, you're the one who left your family and Josh one too many times to go explore who YOU are." Reva said, "Wherever our lives lead us Olivia, Josh and I will always love each other." Reva said she isn't going to make a move but in the long run they will be back together. Reva goes inside Company. She knows that some of what Reva said is true. Inside, Reva is calming herself down. She says to herself, "It's not too late for me. I can take control without relying on a man..."
Jesse tells Buzz that he is feeling so much better. He has the weight of the world off his chest. Buzz wasn't sure of what he meant. Jesse told him that he faked the heart problem and he feels better now that he admitted it to Drew.
Selena overheard him and lambastes him. Jesse tells her to keep her voice down. He tries to explain to her that not only will he get into trouble but Rick will lose his career and possibly his freedom. Selena insists on knowing where Drew is. Jesse told her that she needed a little time to think. Jesse tries to defend his actions to Selena but she won't hear any of it. "It is always about Michelle or somebody else." she screams. "You have to love Drew more than everybody else!"
Selena talked about how much Drew had already lost this year. Her father, her best friend and almost him. She doesn't understand how he could hurt her like that!" Jesse says he wasn't trying to hurt her, that's why he told her the truth.

In San Cristobel:
Drew accuses Ross of knowing where Michelle and Danny are hiding. He told her that he hadn't a clue. Drew doesn't believe him. She says that she wants to look around the palace because she knows they are there. Cassie is cringing. Richard offered to take her on a tour himself. Ross sits down with Drew tells her that he is her family and would never hide Michelle and Danny. She says she will feel better if she looked around. She asked Richard if any unusual people had been around the palace. He told her about a substitute cook whose food was awful and about a nun and a priest. Drew thinks that could be them and asked to see the room where they went.
Blake sees Danny and Michelle and turns around and says she didn't see what she thinks she saw. They pull her in and she explains that she is on vacation. Michelle begged her not to turn them in. She says that only Cassie knows they're there and it would get everyone in trouble if it came out. Danny tells Blake that she never saw them. Blake tells them that she did see them and she vowed never to lie to Ross again.
Danny tells her that Ross is obliged to tell the court in he knows where the fugitives are and the DA is pushing for the death penalty and Michelle is innocent. Blake is beating herself up for being so nosy she had to open the door. They beg her again. She tells them she will think of something.
Michelle is freaking out; Danny says they need a back up plan. He plays around until he finds a secret passageway behind a bookcase. He tells her that it is blocked off but they can use it to hide in if they need to. Michelle wants to go in another room but Danny wants to wait for Cassie. Danny doesn't think Blake will turn them in and they'll get a boat and be out of here.
Blake comes back in and over to Cassie. She tells her that she was just up in the "locked room." Cassie told her that she can't say anything because Richard will get into a lot of trouble and Michelle is innocent. Blake tells her that she has to be honest with Richard and that she can't lie to Ross. Cassie tells her not to lie to Ross then, just be creative.
Richard and Drew go off on her little tour and Cassie and Blake come in. Ross tells them where Richard and Drew have gone and Cassie slips out.
Blake jumps into Ross' arms and says, "this is not good at all Ross...." he asks what is wrong and Blake says, "It's my novel..." She sighs and closes the door she tells him that she is working on a chapter in her book and wanted his opinion. She asks, "What would happen if I stumbled onto Danny and Michelle, the fictional Danny and Michelle while in the palace. What should my character do? She says that "her character", vowed to never lie to her husband again and she wants to keep that promise so should she just come right out and tell him..." Ross seems to understand what she is saying and he says calmly "If an attorney finds out where fugitives are he will have to turn them in." "So that's a bad thing if my character would tell your character in the book..." and Ross says it would be an extremely bad thing.
Michelle and Danny are looking over some maps when they hear Drew's voice. They turn off the lights and hide behind the bookcase. Meanwhile, Cassie watches as Richard and Drew go in. Drew thinks that all the maps being there is strange but Richard tells her that his father was real big on nautical maps and charts. She is disappointed and says she is ready to leave. Richard offers to show her some more of the palace but she says that wouldn't be necessary and returns to where Ross and Blake are.
Blake and Ross are still talking about the fictional room with the fictional characters when Drew comes back. They ask if she is ok. She tells them that she knows Michelle is hiding in that country somewhere. Danny has a house and friends there as well as a business. Ross asks her if she wanted to return with he and Blake to Springfield but she says she will stay. Ross tells her that they will stay with her then.
Cassie comes out and tells Richard that she has to talk to him. She says, "I would never do anything to cause you trouble, not intentionally. But sometimes problems can come up." Richard says, "Just tell me." Cassie continues, "Danny and Michelle called me from their boat and I really believed in their innocence and I offered to help them. " "I see." and Cassie says, "well..." Richard says "they were in there" and Cassie apologizes for not telling him. "I was afraid..." And she says that she knew it would hurt if he knew about it because of his country and she loves him. Richard bursts into the room saying, "It doesn't matter Cassie. Whether I know about it or not! Everything falls back on me! Whether I was aware of it or not!" he goes to the secret passage and says, "alright you can come out now!" "You knew?" Cassie says and Richard says he had an idea and she sure put him in a mess.

At the Lewis House:
Josh runs to the door and greets Jim. He got off the phone with someone they'll be working with. Josh thanks Jim for standing by him through this whole thing; it's all going to work for them now. Josh thinks a bit and then apologizes for calling him to work when he has Beth and Lizzie to worry about. Jim tells him all about how the situation is hard and makes him think of his late wife. He just doesn't think he is contributing anything, he feels helpless. Josh says, "You're supporting Beth and that's a lot." Jim tells him that he tries to reassure Beth. Josh tells him about Reva and how Marah tricked them with the flowers. "Reva took it well though. She seems well now emotionally." Josh admitted that it was nice to have Reva talk like that again. She was the old Reva again. He admits that he does miss her but not in the way Jim thinks. He tells Jim about the drunken proposal to Olivia and how she handled it so well. "She had a great comeback, Olivia said marry you? I'm not even talking to you!" and the two laugh and Josh tells him how Olivia kicked him out. Jim says if Josh doesn't figure out what he wants soon all their lives are on hold. They talk awhile more and Jim tells Josh that he doesn't think he is as over Reva as he thinks and he knows he misses her. Jim leaves. Josh thinks about it and picks up the phone and calls Reva. Olivia sneaks up behind him and he has to hang up the phone before she answers. Olivia told him that she had thought about the business trip and thinks it would be fun if she came along with him. He tells her that is a great idea and they hug.

He says that she is getting better. He tells him about Carmen and the lip balm and how Matt has a nurse helping out. Bill tells his dad that Matt won't call him or let him know how his mom is. Billy says he would probably do the same thing. Bill tells his Dad that Matt is protecting Vanessa and may run away. Billy defends Matt. Bill thinks that police can protect Vanessa and that she needs to save Michelle. He asks his Dad for help with Matt and Vanessa. Billy says he will go to the cabin and see what is up.

At the Reardon Hideaway: Vanessa asks Matt to take her to the police station. Matt wants her to rest. She insists on telling the truth and doing it that very moment. Matt wants her to wait until she is stronger but Vanessa thinks it will help her to get this off her mind. Matt gives in and says he will call the police. He pretends to call the police station and asks to speak to David. He "tells" him the whole story about Vanessa's involvement and then hangs up. He lies to Vanessa and tells her that David has already arrested Carmen and is working on getting Michelle out right then. Vanessa still wants to tell him her story but Matt tells her that David will call her when he needs her testimony. Vanessa tells him that she killed someone and couldn't say anything to help Michelle all these months; now that she can she is dying to get it out. Matt says it wasn't her fault; it was Carmen's fault. Vanessa is also worried about Bill. She wants to make things right but Matt wants her to rest and wait until the time is right.

Cassie agrees to go back to Springfield and be the liaison between Danny and Ray.
Ross knocks and Blake goes out. She makes up a wild story about how they found 2 bodies on the shore from a boat accident. Cassie went out to save her and told Ross and Drew that no one has identified the bodies and that the whole scene was secured so they couldn't go down there. Ross wants to know more and he goes into Cassie's room, (Michelle and Danny had just snuck out the back), and Richard tells him that it was two fishermen and that it was just an accident. Ross and Blake and Drew start to leave and Blake drops her compact (that is where she stuck the note). Drew picks up the compact and goes back in to thank Cassie and Richard. Blake comes back and asks her for the compact, she gives it to her and Blake asks her if she opened it. Drew tells her that she didn't but looks suspiciously at Blake for asking.
In their house, Michelle and Danny reminisce about their honeymoon and hug. Danny tells her that everything will be okay if Ray can get to Ruth and help clear them. Michelle tells Danny she gave Blake a note for Jessie. He is angry. Thinks that may have compromised their position. He believes that if anyone else sees the note they will know where they are. Michelle told him that she had to, to thank him for all his help and to let him know that they were all right.
Alone, Cassie thanks Richard. She is very apologetic and knows he didn't want to be involved. He is very sweet and says he wanted to help. She says she loves him and he says he loves her. Richard tells her that he hopes she was kidding about going to Springfield to talk to Ray. She tells him that she has to. He is afraid that it will be too dangerous. Richard insists, he doesn't want her to get hurt. If anything happened to her it would kill him. She says she will be okay. He tells her the last time she said that she wound up with a knife at her throat. Now that they have finally come to a place where they can be honest with each other about their feelings he doesn't want to lose her. She says she doesn't want him to worry and she will only be gone a few days but she has to go.

At the Church: Ray is talking to the hospital. He thanks the doctor for keeping him informed and thinks it is great to keep Carmen away from phones and others. It will keep her from getting upset. "She is dangerous and needs help", he tells the doctor. Theresa comes in and wants to confess to Ray. Kneels down and starts to confess. She has been carrying a secret about Danny. "I tried to get him to make love to me and I drugged him. I apologized but I didn't mean it, I still want him." She begs Ray for info on where her 'true love' was. Ray tells her that he couldn't absolve her because she is lying through her teeth.
Ray tells Theresa he recognizes evil when he sees it. They argue and he tells her to drop the act. She insists she loves Danny but Ray says he won't help her find him. He won't help her at all. Theresa tries flirting with him, reminding him that he was attracted to her before he became a Priest. She suggests he break a vow. Ray asks Theresa what happened to her. His cell phone rings. Bill is on the phone. Bill says thank you and asks about Carmen. Ray tells him that he will come by to talk to him later. He leaves, Theresa thinks it was Danny on the phone and she calls someone and tells him to follow Ray. She starts to leave and then vows to make Danny pay for embarrassing her.
