He tells her that she continues to call him for help because she knows he will tell her the truth and hopes he will stop her from procreating with the wrong man. Beth insists that she wants her husbands child and Edmund asks her why she is in such a rush. He thinks she is feeling guilty for tricking Jim into the marriage when she knew the baby wasn't his and wants to relieve some of her guilt.

Alan sees Claire and asks if he can help her with something. Claire tells Alan that Michelle came home because she is pregnant and was in danger of miscarrying. Alan asks if she is better now and Claire tells him that she will never be okay as long as Michelle is involved with Danny. Alan tells her she should follow the advice she gave him when dealing with his children and their lives and that is to just back off. He invites her to Infierno for a distraction. Claire thinks it is ironic that he would invite her to Danny's club when he is the cause of her angst.

As Buzz sleeps, Selena comes in dressed in black. She leans over him and says "Hi Baby". He wakes up and is glad to see that she is safe. She tells him she heard the fight and asks if they hurt him badly. He says it felt good to actually do something this time since he was unable to help Jenna or Nadine. He was glad he could buy her some time to get away. Selena is upset over his face and asks if he had any broken bones. She apologizes again. He says she shouldn't be there and she says she had to see him again. She apologizes for everything and says she didn't know how to tell him about Miguel without blowing their relationship and she couldn't leave without making sure he was okay. He says he always seems to bounce back. She asks how he will explain this, but he says he has already told Harley and Frank that they broke up. He promises to make up a story about the goons and she thanks him again. He swears he would never rat her out. He tells her he knows she has been paying for this for years and he hopes it is over. He tells her he can forgive her for not letting herself be happy with him but he cant forgive her for not letting him be happy with her. She says goodbye and tells him she will be in touch with Drew. She cries as she kisses him goodbye. Buzz tells her that this wasn't the way it was supposed to be. She tells him she will always love him and she leaves.

At Infierno:

Blake and Ross sit back and relax talking about what Buzz had told them. She says she feels badly for Buzz and still blames herself. Ross tells her that he is proud of her. She is surprised. He tells her she handled herself well in the situation. Blake is surprised and says he has been good to her. He says she got involved in the book and didn't know there was danger. When she found out, she acted appropriately. Blake has a brainstorm and tells Ross that she had an epiphany of what her new book should be about. She says the idea has been staring her right in the face. She will make Selena's story mean something but it will be completely fictionalized. She tells Ross the heroine in the new book will be haunted by the tragic mistakes in her past. She continues by saying that the forces from her past are unleashed and affect all of the people around her. Ross would rather read the book than live it. He wants to know how the book ends. Blake said that the heroine winds up sadder but wiser, leaving the others to live happily ever after.

Claire and Alan are at the club, flirting. He is glad they share similar taste in distractions and they toast. May comes over with flowers and Alan reminds her who they were. May remembers and gets them a couple of cigars. Alan asks May if she is okay since she doesn't seem like herself. Claire asks if it is boy trouble. May says it is an old story. A sweet guy can have a fling and when his wife comes back, he goes back to her, blah, blah, blah. She apologizes for going on with her troubles and leaves to sell more flowers. Claire says, "It couldn't be, could it?" Alan tells Claire she has a death grip on her cigar. He thinks she is distracted. She says she is thinking about May and feels sorry for her. Alan is surprised. Claire walks over to May and asks if she is okay. May says she will live and Claire asks her if the boy was Danny and May finally admits it was. May says she knew he wasn't the love of her life but her feelings are more than she expected. Claire tells her she never knows what will happen tomorrow. (She seems very pleased by the news). Claire goes back and tells Alan thanks for the evening, it was just what she needed.
