At the Spaulding Mansion:

Beth is looking at her wedding album and talking to her mom. She tells Lillian that all she has to remember Jim by is the album and one suitcase of clothes. Beth apologizes to Lillian for feeling sorry for herself. Lillian tells her that the whole situation is unfair. They are drinking tea and talking about how Beth feels bad because Lizzie feels the need to take care of her again. She said Jim was so good with Lizzie and made her feel like she could be a child again. Lillian says that Jim looks content and very happy in the pictures. Beth says that they were very happy and planned on celebrating tonight at Josh and Olivia's wedding. Lillian asks if she wants to take a peek at the wedding but Beth isn't ready for anything more than tea and cookies. Lillian says Beth has a lot of emotions to sort through. Beth tells her that she has more than she knows. Later, Beth is crying and she drops the tea tray. She said Jim took care of her and now he is gone. She never did anything for him. Lillian says she made Jim happy but Beth starts beating herself up and mentions all the times she let him down and lied to him. She says she continually put Phillip between them and now she is living in the Spaulding's house again dependent on them. Something Jim would hate. Beth says she should take the kids and move in with Lillian's. Lillian says that would be fine, but Lizzie is used to her room here. She shouldn't disrupt her again. Alan enters and seems happy to see both Lillian and Beth there to celebrate New Years with him. Beth fills Alan in on what happened with Jim. Alan tries to be comforting and tells Beth that Jim died a hero and saved the children. He asks about Lizzie and tells Beth that he owes more to Jim than he can say.

At the Lewis's:

Josh is still in his tux looking out the window. Marah is sitting on a chaise behind him. She keeps talking to him but he doesn't respond. She asks him to please talk to her. He tells her he doesn't know what to say when she intentionally tried to sabotage his wedding. Marah says things just got out of hand. Josh tells her that it got out of hand because she let it get out of hand. He tells her that she made the choice to go to the hotel and ignore his wedding.

Reva asks her if she is okay and Marah acts like it was all a big misunderstanding and she was just scared. She tells her mom that everything is fine. Josh turns around, astounded by what his daughter is saying and yells at her that everything is not fine. Reva is stunned at Josh's animosity as he berates Marah and asks her who she is. He tells her that she isn't the same girl he knew and seems to be but a stranger to him now. Reva yells back at Josh that it is all happened because he moved out on them. She thinks Josh should take it easy on Marah but Josh doesn't back down. He asks Reva if she thought Marah was getting attacked and she said she did. He tells her that Marah is capable of deceit the like of which he has never known. He looks at Reva and asks her if she was in on the plan. Reva is wounded by the accusation and Noah intercedes and informs Josh that they were on their way to his parent's house when Marah called them. Josh looks at Marah and tells her to tell them the truth. She tells Reva that she went to a motel with Tony and then got scared. She expected her dad to come because of the note she left for Shayne but he never showed up. Josh asks her what note she is referring to. Marah says she left a note in Shayne's lacrosse stick telling him where she was and what she was doing. Josh tells her that Shayne never came back to get her. Josh says Sam came to pick her up and Shayne stayed with him. Marah is annoyed and said that she made Shayne promise that he would come back for her. Josh realizes she left the note so he would leave his own wedding to rescue her. Reva questions her and Marah finally admits the truth. Josh says that he can't believe he is standing there with her instead of with his wife. Marah's jaw drops and Josh tells her that he got married first and then deserted his wife and the wedding party to help her. Marah is upset that her plan didn't work and apologizes to her dad. Josh walks away from her for a moment and then tells her that what she did was wrong. Marah promises to make it up to Olivia and begs for another chance. Josh tells her that he doesn't know how she can make it up to Olivia when he doesn't even know how he is going to. He tells her that Olivia told him it was a scheme to interrupt the wedding and destroy them but he trusted his daughter over what his wife told him. He looked right into Marah's eyes and tells her, "That will never happen a

Marah comes down in her bathrobe and asks Reva if she is mad at her too. Reva doesn't say anything for a while and then tells her that what she did terrifies her. She sits down with Marah and tells her that she is making errors that remind her of her own mistakes. She doesn't want her to repeat them. She only wants her to have a better life. Reva says women have been using their bodies for thousands of years to get what they want, but it doesn't make it right. Marah says why does it matter if it works. Reva tells her not to think like that and tells her that words are safer. She says this is about more than just sex. She can do so much better than a cheap motel room with a boy she cares nothing about. Marah says she cares about Tony a lot.

At Olivia's:

Olivia is talking to Sam and she is very angry. She is packing to go to a friend's house. She says that Josh has to realize what he has done. Sam asks her where she is going but she won't tell him. She tells him that he can call her cell phone and she will check the caller ID and know it is him and answer. Sam tells her that he can't wait to see Josh. Olivia thanks Sam for standing by her and tells him that she knows it had to be hard for him with his feelings for Marah. Sam admits that he had visions of Marah and Tony in the motel, but then he would see Olivia and realized what was right. Olivia says at least he put her first. Sam is annoyed with Marah for playing mind games and tells his sister that he doesn't want anything to do with games or game players. Olivia is proud of him and hopes he realizes how special he is. She tells him that she was publicly humiliated last night. Olivia tells him that Josh has a crazy ex-wife and rude children while she has him. She tells him (Sam) that he isn't a problem and she thinks he can do better than Marah. Olivia asks Sam to be polite to Josh and not give in to fighting. She tells him to tell Josh she looked great when she left. She promises to call him and leaves. Sam looks at the note from Marah again.

Sam opens the door to Josh. Josh asks to see his wife. Sam asks which one? The one you dumped last night or the one that caused him to do the dumping. Josh tells him he wants to see Olivia.

He starts in on Josh about how he treated his sister and how he paid more attention to his daughters lies then his wedding night. Josh says he wants to make it up to Olivia. He asks Sam where she is but Sam says he doesn't know. Sam asks Josh if he let Marah get away with her little stunt last night. Josh says he will deal with Marah and she will not get away with it. Sam tells him that he doesn't know if he will be able to forgive Josh or not. Josh asks if he can't forgive him or if he can't forgive Marah. Sam tells him both. Josh asks if Marah hurt Sam too. Sam tells Josh that Marah is beautiful and smart but is way too involved in her parents' lives. She needs help. Josh says she is just adjusting. Sam says she was acting like a 3 year old. Josh asks Sam again where Olivia is and tells him that she is his future and he doesn't want to give her up. Sam wonders if that is just until the next cell phone rings. Josh asks Sam if he saw a note when he went to get Marah. Sam denies seeing it. Josh tries to leave a message for Olivia, but Sam slams the door on him and tells him to keep dreaming. Sam looks at the note again. He wads it up and stuffs it in a vase on the table.

He wonders why Phil is standing in Beth's way to go to San Cristobel . Phil tells him that Beth can do what she wants but his kids are not going to San Cristobel . Ed tries to reason with him but Phil doesn't listen. Phil also reminds Ed that children can not go out of the country with a parent without the expressed written consent of the other parent by law. Ed says the law is to prevent abduction and he has no thoughts of abducting them. Ed turns to Harley then and asks if he can take Susan too. Harley says no. Ed says he has watched Beth go through many ordeals over the last year, none of which were caused by him. He admires her and whether he is after her is none of their business. As for the children, the only danger they are in is from sunburn and they will use sunscreen and there are no other hazards. Phil takes Harley aside and asks Harley's advice. Harley thinks he should let them go. Phil finally agrees to let them go and tells Ed that he will get the papers from his attorneys. Ed asks Harley about Susan but Harley says that Susan is different because she doesn't want to go. Ed asks Harley if she even asked her. Susan comes downstairs and wonders what they are talking about. She asks Harley why they didn't call her when Ed got there. Harley tells her that Ed is there to talk to Phil. Ed tells Susan that he came to talk to Phil about letting Beth and the children go to SC with him for a while. He tells her that invitation also extends to her as well.

Harley finally agrees. Ed says they will leave when Beth gets organized, probably tomorrow. Susan says she doesn't have much to pack since everything was burned in the fire. She tells him that she is glad she gave him the picture her mom gave her, at least it is safe. Harley asks what picture that was. Susan tells her it was a picture of the ballet, Swan Lake. Harley tells her that she never gave her that. Susan said that she knows, she said her mom gave it to her. Her real mom, not Harley. Edmund tells Susan that the picture is in his office at the palace. He offers to give it back to her but she tells him that she wants him to keep it. She feels she is bad luck and doesn't want to lose it. Both Ed and Harley tell her she is not. Edmund leaves a

In San Cristobel:

At the palace, Richard greets Mrs. Mayhew, the engraver and apologizes for asking her to cut her vacation short. He wants to ask her about the christening cup and she gets nervous. She says some things are better left in the past. Richard asks Mrs. Mayhew if she recognizes the cup. She is still nervous and he tells her she can trust him. She refuses to tell him and he commands her as her ruler. She admits doing the engraving. He wants to know which letters were worn away. She tells him she has the original sketches in a safe at home. She tells him that right before the christening, his mother brought the drawing of the angel and the letters in Latin written backwards to her and then she gave her a bracelet in the hopes that Mrs. Mayhew would be discreet. Mrs. Mayhew says she has never uttered a word but that she will give him the drawings. She just wants him to know that what was done back then was done for the good of the island and the monarchy. Mrs. Mayhew says he has a beautiful wife and should enjoy his life and forget the past. Richard tells her that he doesn't want to live a lie and will take Mrs. Mayhew home himself.

In San Cristobel:

Richard is going over the paperwork, drawings and his translation from the cup. Cassie walks in and apologizes for interrupting him. He tells her that he is glad she is there and that he has something to talk to her about and she is the only one he can trust with the information. He tells her that he has been investigating the writing on the christening cup and has been trying to translate the message on the side. Richard tells her that he had a talk with the engraver and received the original drawings of the commission. He tells her that the engraving is in Latin and reads backwards. Cassie thinks it is strange that it was written like that. He tells her that the meaning may help her understand. He asks if she wants to hear what it says. She listens while Richard read his version of the Latin, "Beneath this symbol the king's son dead infant of the queen lays, the true prince". Cassie wonders if someone really died or it is a mere legend. Richard says that is what they have to find out. Cassie asks Richard if his mother gave the Latin verse to the engraver and where she originally got it from. Richard says it was all very secret and she wrote it herself. Cassie says it is so vague and they need to find out what happened. Richard says maybe his mother had another child before he was born and it died. Richard can't believe that would happen without everyone knowing. Cassie thinks they should go over it again. They do. "Beneath this symbol..."--they realize that maybe it is talking about the symbol in the garden, the one on the table rock. Cassie asks if Richard thinks a baby is buried in the garden and wonders why a royal child wouldn't have a formal burial. Richard wants to look under the table rock. He will go in the morning and Cassie asks if she can come with him. He thanks her for listening to him and helping him. She says she is his wife. He says things have been strained between them and thanks her. Cassie asks Richard if he doesn't think it out of character for his mother to be so cruel as to give that inscription to your own child on his christening gift. He says he can't imagine his mother being cruel unless she was consumed by grief. He says they will try to find answers in the morning. Richard goes to put the papers away so no one will come across them. He tells her that he doesn't want the succession of the crown to be in question. It could be a big issue for the country. Cassie thanks him for trusting her with something so important. Richard says he made a big mistake not trusting her once and he will never do that again.

She wants to make it up to him. Tony asks what makes her think he wants her to. He tells her she has a lot of nerve. She did him a favor by showing him her true colors and letting him know that she really thinks he is dirt. Marah denies that and says they care about each other. Tony says he won't be fooled twice and asks her to leave. Marah leaves.

At Company:

Reva explains what happened with Marah to Blake. Blake says that she has now interrupted three weddings and people will think she is a jinx and no longer invite her. Reva mentions that Noah turned around from their trip and was nice enough to come home. Reva asks how Josh and Olivia acted after the phone call. Blake thinks that Reva is taking too much interest in Josh and his new wife and she needs to let go. Reva says she wants Josh to be happy even if she doesn't like Olivia. Olivia has her good points. Blake says that she can be catty and call Olivia a witch. Reva says that losing Josh was her fault; she had no sensitivity to Josh's feelings. Reva said she knew what she was doing but couldn't stop herself. She says Marah was doing the same thing last night. Blake says she is a teenager. Reva says she is sorry about her mistakes and she needs to move on. Reva tells Blake that even if Olivia and Noah weren't in the picture she and Josh probably wouldn't be together. Blake knows it must hurts to see Josh with someone else and that Josh probably has some of the same feelings when he sees her with Noah. Noah arrives and kisses Reva. Blake gets a phone call. Noah asks Reva how she is doing and asks about Marah. She tells him that Marah is apologizing to everyone. Noah asks how she is doing and thinks she still looks sad. She leaves with Blake because she wants to check on Marah. Noah sits with Buzz and wants to know what women want. He tells him how Reva is ambiguous and changes her mind to suit her mood. He knows she still loves Josh and she refuses to let him go. Buzz tells Noah that nice guys finish last. He tells her that the thing about Reva is that she only wants what she feels she cant have. She tells him that if Reva thought she couldn't have him, she would be sticking by him like glue. He tells Noah that his problem is he is too available to her. Noah agrees and realizes that Reva is obsessed with challenges. He tells Buzz that he has an idea. Buzz tells him if he starts playing games with Reva he will probably lose. Noah calls Perdita and tells her that he gave Reva a ring and then pretends he has to go. Noah counts up the time and figures Perdita will be there by tomorrow evening. He calls Reva and asks if she misses him. He wants to take her out to dinner tomorrow night. She says she doesn't want to be away for the whole evening. He asks her to come for a drink at his place and they can have dinner with the kids afterward. He will pick her up at six. She is looking forward to it and he says he is too.

At Holly's:

Holly and Olivia are lying on couches with facial masks and cucumbers on their eyes. They have candles lit. Holly was trying to distract Olivia. She suggests that Olivia call Josh but she says she needs another day to diffuse her anger and Josh needs another day to miss her. Olivia's phone rings and she sees that it is Josh. She answers it. Josh says he had been looking for her and asks where she is, but she doesn't want him to know. He apologizes to her for leaving the wedding. He really believed that Marah was in serious danger. He wonders if Olivia is going to ask how Marah is doing. Olivia asks if she is in the hospital or dead. He tells her that she isn't. She said that she didn't care then and she is not interested. He wants to see her but she doesn't want to. She says he made a choice and this is the consequence. He wants to make it up to her and she says maybe tomorrow. She will tell him where to meet him on neutral territory. He thinks she is manipulating him but she says it is self-protection. She will call him tomorrow and she hangs up and turns off her cell phone. She tells Holly she doesn't know how much longer she can keep this up. She and Josh will try again and this time they will get it right.

At Olivia's:

Marah arrives and sees Sam. He gives her a hard time. She tells him she knows he read her note. Sam denies it. Marah thinks he showed Olivia the note and they decided not to tell Josh together. Sam still tries to play dumb about the note. They argue. Sam tells her what she did was wrong and he is not letting her off the hook. Marah tells him that he is just jealous because she went to the motel with Tony. She says she went and got scared. Sam says she knew what to expect and he doesn't blame Tony. Sam tells him that he is angry because she makes mistakes and won't admit them. Sam says he doesn't care if he sees her again and slams the door on her.
