Gus was nursing a hangover at Company after getting drunk with Alexandra. Gus discussed with Harley what him and Alexandra talked about during their drinks.

Harley called David Grant and asked him to find out whatever he could about what Alexandra was up to before coming back to Springfield. Surprisingly, when Alexandra's cell phone rang, it was Joe August's x-partner, Mr. Baker! He told Alexandra to "up the fee or Gus and Harley will know everything you don't want them to know."

But Michelle didn't believe him. He said he was leaving because of her. As he was leaving, he said he was fine with taking things slow, but he couldn't hold up his end of the bargain. She said it made her nervous when he spoke about how much he liked being with her. He told her that he thought about coming to her bed the night before because he wanted to make love to her.

But Eden didn't like to be pressured. When she tried to stand up and leave, Gus pushed her down in her seat and said she was going in the courtroom and admit to what she did. He told her if she didn't do this she wouldn't have a brother. But she was worried about what she would say about their father since she was trying to protect both of them. Gus reminded her to do the right thing. He said what their father did had nothing to do with Harley. He warned her to do the right thing or he would cut her loose. But she said she couldn't.

Frank was really hurt and demanded the kids return home that night and threatened to send Marina back to her mom. Marina had never seen her dad that hurt.

Danny returned Robbie to the Bauer's. Ed was there and Danny told Ed he might as well have pushed Bill and Michelle into bed together since he encouraged Michelle to go to the cabin with him. While they were talking, Michelle returned home. Her and Danny talked a little while Michelle opened up some mail she received. It was the final divorce papers. Danny tried to tell her that they didn't have to sign them and that they could make a fresh start but he could tell by the look on Michelle face that she was serious about going through with the divorce. Danny said what seemed to be his final good-bye to Michelle and when he left, she signed the papers.

Bill went to see Beth to pick up some of the things he left there. He could tell Beth had been crying and she explained to him that Lizzie wants to go away to boarding school. Beth went to Phillip with Lizzie to try to explain the reason she wants to go to boarding school. Lizzie can't handle all the difficulties in the Spaulding family. She explained to her mom and dad that she knew Alan faked his heart attack. She needs a break. Bill suggested to not let her go but she explained that when someone wants to leave bad enough, you have to let them go. When Beth started sobbing, Bill wrapped his arms around her.

Olivia sent a note to them through the Butler that she was leaving; she had to get away and clear her head.
