Paul tells Isabella that the reason he has not gone to see his wife is because there is no point to see his wife. He tells her that Christine was in town and the apartment, the night that they made love. He tells her that is the reason why Christine served him with divorce papers.

The Coffeehouse

Rianna tells Billy and Mac that she is planning to leave the Glo by Jabot campaign.

Rianna tells Mac that she told Raul everything about her and J.T. -- that J.T. was the first person that she made love to. She thought he loved her at the time. She also tells Mac that she told Raul that when they have their first time together that it would be very special because of the way they feel about each other. Billy and Raul arrive and Rianna does not want to see anyone. Billy and Mac leave Raul and Rianna alone, Raul kisses Rianna and she asks him if the kiss means what she thinks it means.

The Courthouse

The judge asks to bring Nate to the witness stand before she makes a decision against the objection of Olivia. Nate takes the stand and the judge tells him to tell the truth about how he feels about Malcolm and how he feels about not being able to see Malcolm. Nate clearly states that he loves Malcolm and that Malcolm is a good father to him. He tells the judge that he loves his mother but doesn't really understand why he can't see his father. The judge takes a short recess and makes her decision. She says that both Malcolm and Olivia are at fault for the recent turn of events. It is true that Malcolm is not Nate's biological father but Nate considers him to be his father. The judge tells Olivia that depriving Nate from seeing Malcolm because of her feelings may have some relevance but it is hurting her son. She tells Malcolm that circumventing the rules set by Olivia is not the way to make points. He is not to make up his own rules regarding the upbringing of Nate. The judge rules that Malcolm should have regular visitation privileges and Olivia and Malcolm need to work it out, if they cannot, she will. After the judge's ruling, Nate tells his mother that he loves her and runs over to his father and hugs him.
