The editor of SELF Magazine concludes her interview with Katie at Al's diner with questions about the death of Simon's third ex-wife Monique. Katie gets angry because she thought the editor was there to talk about the video, not her husband. The editor says she did her homework and Katie rifles through the editor's notes looking for the "background" research. Katie finds old newspaper clippings about Monique's death. She screams "none of it is true," and storms out.
Simon tries to throw Dahlia out of his cottage. Revealing some of her true motives, Dahlia says, "Monique's family saw what kind of man you were. Do you plan on killing Katie the same way you killed Monique? At the end Monique saw that you were only after her for her money. Before she could have you removed from her will, you killed her." Simon spits back at her, "Are you done?" "Yes." "Who the hell are you?" "I'm Katie's friend. I need to protect my client before she ends up dead." Katie walks in and not caring who else is in the room, she demands Simon to explain. "How long were you planning on keeping me in the dark?" Katie asks Dahlia to leave then skewers Simon, "Seems like the wife is the last to know. How come you left out all the details?" She wants to ask him if he actually killed Monique, but it catches in her throat. "You're obviously guilty about something. Are you guilty?" "I am guilty. I am responsible for Monique's death."
Katie says, "I need for you to tell me everything that happened that night." Simon finally fills us in on part of his history. The evening that Monique died, her private detective told her about Simon's history and his true intentions. This drove her to the bottle. She confronted him that night, but then left to go sailing in the middle of a storm. Simon went to the store to clear his head. He worried about Monique's safety, so he went to the dock to check on her, but it was too late. Later, authorities tried to charge him with murder, but there was never enough evidence, so all charges were dropped. Katie's faith is seriously shaken, "How am I ever going to know that there aren't other things that you've lied to me about?" He tells Katie that Dahlia accused him of planning to kill Katie after she made a lot of money. She says, "I don't know what to believe anymore!" Simon asks her "to keep our private lives between us from now on. Dahlia doesn't need to know everything that goes on between us." "Now I can't have friends? She has to know a couple things about us for business purposes." "You trust Dahlia more than me?" "Maybe I should!" She storms out.
Dahlia talks with the lawyer managing Monique's estate. We finally learn Dahlia's identity as Monique's sister. Pursing her lips, she says, "He got that inheritance. Now it's time for him to pay. If something catastrophic were to happen to Simon, and if the plans for such an event were in the works as we speak, well, I may finally see some justice."
At Java, Lisa tells Isaac to go find Bonnie and try to make it up to her. "I've already apologized, what else do I say to her?" Bonnie walks in to collect her things. "I quit. I took the job to prove to my family that I could keep a job, and I did." Isaac asks her if she still has feelings for Ian. She says, "I don't know anymore." Bonnie gets a package from Ian.

Belva says, "It doesn't look good for the mother of the accused to go around threatening people." "I'm not asking for a kidney Belva, just your testimony." "Oh alright!!" Belva leaves, and Mary walks in. "Hello Molly, I thought I might find you here." Molly sucker slaps her. Mary pleads, "I can explain!"

At the station, Mary tells Margo, Tom, Evelyn, Molly, Jake, and Abigail how she got mixed up with Nick. They met in a halfway house for ex-cons. She was there for "minor scrapes with the law." Nick befriended her and made her feel less afraid, and powerful. They became best friends. He was released from the house shortly after Mary, then he professed his love to her. But when he learned she committed another "petty crime," he turned it against her and forced her to find a nanny job with Jake and Molly. She was to find their weak spot...Abigail. That's when Nick started his blackmail plan and he began to seduce Abigail.
Margo says, "Can you please just tell us about that night?" Mary continues, "Nick had already made his demands for the money and he was waiting for Jake to arrive. He would then break up with Abigail, and we would drive off into the sunset together. When I got there, he was still with Abigail." Molly asks if she did it out of jealousy. Mary can't believe her ears. "What did you say? There's been some big misunderstanding here! I'm confessing to my part in trying to con the McKinnon's out of their money. But I didn't kill Nick!"
Mary stands up and tells what's left of the population of Oakdale, "Abigail killed Nick and I saw her do it!"

Simon has Margo do a back ground Dahlia only to find out she is Monique's sister whom he didn't recognize since she wasn't around when Simon was. When Simon tells Katie this, Katie realizes that means her video is a joke and not about her at all.
Holden tries to calm a nervous Abigail on the day her trial is set to begin. Running to Holden and Lily's place, Molly greets Abigail with the news that Belva's dead and this means that Abigail may not have to face trial. However, their hopes are dashed when the autopsy report shows that the landlady died of natural causes. John asks Lisa and Bob if they have heard of an aging specialist named Dr. Weston.

He looks at her and says that when she called he heard party noises and she and Dahlia were...he stops. Katie asks him what she and Dahlia were doing. He says that now that he thinks about it, Dahlia was doing all the talking. Dahlia walks up and Simon turns to her and says, "Hello, Dolly." Dahlia tells him that she is glad that he could join them.

She says that it is her last night in town. Simon raises his glass to her. She adds that before she goes, she has written something to Katie to show how much she means to her. She starts to read from a paper. "Here is to the woman who makes dreams come true. The woman who made me believe in miracles. I thought that I had so much to teach her, but I had so much to learn. She has taught me what it means to give, to risk, to succeed, and to live." Simon is listening with intent. Dahlia goes on, "I look at her and I see the future. A long happy future, filled with memories I will cherish forever." Simon is looking more and more unhappy. Dahlia continues, "Here is to the one that made it happen." Dahlia raises her glass to Katie and then looks at Simon. Dahlia keeps picking, "This isn't just a partnership, this is destiny. This woman changed my life." Katie raises her eyebrows like she can't believe that Dahlia ever felt like this about her. Simon is clenching his jaw. Dahlia keeps going, "The first time I saw her, I knew we would do great things together. She inspires me and makes me want to do better, be better. I know one day, down the line, when we are old and gray..." Simon erupts, "Shut up!" He runs up on stage and tells her to shut her mouth. She says, in a low voice only Simon can hear, "You don't like my words? They are the words that you said to my sister on her wedding night. What about the promises you made to Monique before you murdered her." Simon takes her champagne glass and throws champagne in her face. Katie yells out, "Simon!!" Katie runs up on the stage and asks Simon what it is that he is doing. Simon says that she knows what she is doing and he came there to stop her. Camera flashes are going off all over the place.
