She tells him that she will be at Company in 15 minutes.

At Company:

Noah is on his cell phone calling the airline to check on Perdita. Buzz wants to know what is going on and Noah says he took Buzz's advice about challenging Reva. He tells him he is planning on checking the theory that women want what they think they can't have. Buzz can't believe anyone took his advice on anything, especially women. Noah tells him that he will let Buzz know how things go but if later that evening he heard an explosion, he will know it didn't go well. Buzz wishes him good luck.

Susan comes in to see her Grandpa. She tells him that she is going to SC for a visit and hopes he understands why. He does, even though he also dislikes Edmund. He gives her a little money and asks her to buy the tackiest souvenir she can find and to send him a post card. She kisses him and starts to head out. Sam comes in and tells her that he is glad to see her. He asks if she is okay and learns about her trip to San Cristobel . He tells her that she deserves the royal treatment and he hopes she is okay. He fills her in on what happened at the wedding and Marah and her schemes with Tony. He tells her that he and Marah aren't talking anymore. He tells Susan to have a great trip and he will miss her. Susan is upset that her friends are upset with each other but Sam tells her there isn't that much they can do about it now. Josh comes in and Susan asks Sam to walk her out so he won't have to deal with his new brother in law. Buzz comes over and greets Josh telling him, "There is a place in the center of hell for pariah's that he visits often." He welcomes Josh to the elite club. Josh tells Buzz that he is meeting Olivia there, hopefully, and he goes to a table.

Olivia comes in and Josh is relieved. He was scared she wouldn't show up. She tells him that she walked around the block a few times but decided she needed to come. Josh asks her how they got to that place. She doesn't know. He tells her that he can honestly tell her that he hasn't stop thinking of her for one moment since the New Years. He tells her that he has missed her and can't stand being apart from her. She tells him that she has thought of him as well, some of those thought weren't the greatest, however. She asks about Marah. Josh tells her that the cops got to the hotel and learned that it was all a false alarm. He tells her that he and Reva were very stern with Marah until they got the truth. Olivia asked about the truth and Josh admits that Marah admitted to wanting to ruin the wedding. Olivia tells Josh that the terrible thing is that Marah would risk being raped to stop the wedding. Josh tells her that he can't help how he reacted to Marah, he is her father and he can't just stop being her father. Olivia wonders how they can get past this. She knew it would be difficult but was willing to try because she was so crazy about him. Josh is concerned at Olivia's use of the past tense. Olivia tells her that she still is crazy about him. She tells him that he is perfect for her all except for the 'Reva Factor'. Josh tells her that he wants his life with Olivia but he can't turn his back on his children. Olivia asks if she comes after his children and he says yes at least until they are old enough to be on their own. He clarifies by telling her that also goes for the children he has with her as well. Olivia says she understands but tells her that gives Marah a lot of leverage. Josh admits spoiling Marah. He says he probably should have given her more boundaries. Josh thinks that he told her she went too far this time. Olivia thinks Marah will go even further next time and suggests she may need counseling. Olivia thinks that Marah is a Reva wannabe and she doesn't want to see her husband being manipulated by either the mother or the daughter. Josh says Olivia sees things so differently. Olivia tells him that is because she is not what the dogs are fighting over. Josh tells Olivia that he raised Marah to tell the truth but Olivia seems to have a sense of seeing what Marah is really doing. He wants her to grow up to be all that she can be and tells her that he will need her (Olivia's) help. He tells her that she knew what Marah was up to at the wedding and hopes that in the future she will call Marah on her deceptions and help him with her. Olivia asks if he will fight her on it and he says of course he will but she has to tell him anyway. Olivia says it will be hard to be his wife. Josh says he knows, but asks her to give it a chance. Olivia says she just wanted to be first with him for one night and wanted him to acknowledge her right to be angry. He agrees. He tells her he will respect her opinions about Marah, if she respects his need to be a good father. He tells her he needs to kiss her and hold her. Olivia says sometimes they used sex as a smokescreen. Josh thinks it is a way of communicating and maybe she didn't get the message. Now it is legal and they didn't have a honeymoon. He wants to make it up to her. She wonders how good it would be. They leave together.

He tells Cassie if he abdicates they would have no money and he would have to get a job. Cassie reminds him that he can do construction and calls him 'Dwayne'. He laughs. He says he is worried because he promised her security and stability. She tells him as long as she is loved, that is all she needs. She tells him the letter has been buried for decades and he should take his time to decide what he wants to do, a while longer won't hurt. Richard thanks her and asks if she has seen their guests from Springfield yet. Cassie says she hasn't and hopes she doesn't break down and cry when she sees Susan. She says she feels sorry for Susan and knows that Jim was a good man. They both talk about Jim and how he blew up the harbor the day they first met. He said it seems so long time ago and so many things have changed. Susan knocks on the door and walks in. Cassie goes to hug her. She greets Beth and the baby and tells them they are welcome to stay as long as they want. Beth says they feel better just spending time at the last place Jim was before he died. Edmund says he will take Susan to the harbor later, after he completes some work. Cassie tells Beth she will take her and the children on a tour of the grounds. Richard stays back to talk to Edmund. He tells him he is very kind to take an interest in Jim's family, but he can tell when he sees him with Beth that he has other things besides charity on his mind. Edmund admits he is attracted to Beth and tells Richard that he has serious feelings for her but he knows she has suffered a terrible loss and is vulnerable. He only wanted to get her out of Springfield so she wouldn't have to deal with driving by the shell of where her home once stood. He tells Richard that in San Cristobel , Beth has no worries or obligations and can find distraction. Edmund tells Richard that he is smitten with Beth and is very attached to the kids as well. Richard wonders if his attachment to the kids could be another way of getting close to Beth. Edmund tells him that he is going to pursue Beth but now is not the time. He asks Edmund if he is willing to wait on Beth until she is ready for a relationship. Edmund sarcastically told Richard that he is not and that he is going to break into her room at night like the evil man he is thought to be. Edmund stormed out.

Cassie and Beth are walking in the garden near where the table rock is. Beth likes how it isn't as manicured as the rest of the grounds. Cassie tells her that it was Princess Catherine's favorite place. She tells Beth that Richard and Edmund spent a lot of time there with their mother. Beth mentions that she doesn't know that much about Edmund's childhood except that he was favored by his mother and not his father. Cassie asks Beth if Edmund is pressuring her in any way and Beth tells her that he is not. She tells Cassie that Edmund is her friend and that is what she needs more than anything. She said he gives to her without wanting anything in return. Cassie says that is a gift if he is sincere. Beth says Edmund is a blessing and she doesn't know what she would have done without him. Cassie looks and smiles.

Beth is still in the garden when Edmund comes out. She tells him that she feels close to Jim just being there. She tells him how honest Jim was and never kept any deep dark secrets from her. Edmund tells her that she may have not known Jim long enough to learn of his dark side and that could be a blessing. Beth was upset by the remark and he tells her what he meant was that she is able to only have fond memories and no negative thoughts. Beth agrees but wishes she had more of those fond memories. Beth goes leaves to go to the beach to find her mom and kids.

Susan comes into the garden and tells Edmund that she had went to see his library and was very impressed. She asks if he read all those books. He tells her that he was a bookworm when he was young and that his mother used to read a lot to he and Richard in that very area. He tells her that he and Richard used to also have snail races there. Susan didn't believe him. Edmund tells her that he will show her and he goes over to the wall and gets two snails. He lays them on the rock and they just sit there. Richard giggles and Edmund turns to see his brother standing at the gateway of the garden. Richard said he was looking for Cassie. Edmund told him that she went down to the beach with the others. He turns back and tells Susan that his snail moved. She punched him and laughed.

At Olivia's:

Marah arrives at Olivia's with gift in hand. Sam comes to the door. He is surprised to see her and still doesn't want to hear anything she has to say to him. Marah offers the wedding gift and asks Sam if he will take it. He says no. She storms into the apartment and puts down on the table in the living room. He wonders why she would just lay it on the table when she could make a big show out of it and get all kinds of attention. Marah glares at him. She tells him that she feels terrible about what she did and she hates that everyone is furious with her. She tells him that she wishes she could like Olivia but she just can't; she feels that she is the wrong person for her dad. She tells him that she is trying to accept the marriage and that is why she brought the gift. He isn't buying it and is rude to her when she argues back to him. Sam tells her that she is the one that ruined his sister's big day and now she is there yelling at him. She tells him that he is being mean and not listening to her and it is really hurting her feeling. She starts to cry and Sam apologizes for being mean to her. He says he may have gone too far and he is sorry. Sam hugs her and Josh and Olivia come in. Marah goes to get their gift and hands it to her dad. She tells them she is sorry and hopes she can make it up to them. Olivia thanks her for the gift and the apology and sits down to open it. It is a photo album for wedding pictures as well as other family pictures that happen through the years. She wishes them well and starts to leave. Josh thanks Marah and she hugs him. She tells him she knows things will never be the same and she is sorry. She leaves. Sam tells him that he thinks Marah is just trying to adjust by putting up some new boundaries. Olivia thinks he may have a point. She asks Josh if he wants to go after her and he tells her no.

At Phillip and Harley's:

Phillip is worried and tells an inquiring Harley that he is just bothered about work. Harley knows better and tells him not to lie to her after everything they have been through. She tells him that she knows he isn't thinking about work but about Beth. Phillip tells Harley to give him a break; he is just worried about his kids. He had hoped to hear from them just to make sure they were alright. Harley tells him that they should just put in a "Beth Phone", a direct line just to Beth so they can be in constant contact. Phillip doesn't like where this is going. Harley tells him to call her. Phillip gets the phone and calls. Edmund answers to speak to the switchboard. Phillip can hear Edmund who tells the operator that Beth isn't taking any calls. Phillip gets angry and tells the operator to inform Edmund that he is responsible for his kids and he will be talking to Beth. Harley throws a vase down on the floor behind him. Phillip hangs up the phone and Harley glares at him. Phillip tells her that he is just concerned. Beth just lost her husband. Harley said that she knows because she just lost the only buffer she had for her sanity. Phillip didn't understand. Harley tells him that Jim was the most decent man she has ever known but more than that he was the one Beth leaned on and kept her away from Phillip. Harley tells him that she hopes Beth stays in SC long enough to get herself together. She thinks she may even get together with Edmund. Phillip is appalled. Harley tells him that Beth and Edmund are the perfect match. She is a professional victim and he is a professional victimizer. Phillip says Beth is not an issue in their marriage. Harley thinks Phillip is a fool to believe that. Phillip tells Harley to stop; he doesn't want to discuss Beth any longer with her. He tells her that they should halt their conversation before they go to far and can't take it back. Harley says she knows the conversation is going to take him straight to San Cristobel. Phillip goes over to the desk and picks up a photo of he and Harley. He asks her who they are. He doesn't even recognize that couple anymore. He can't even remember laughing with her anymore. Harley tells him that the couple is gone and they are all that is left. He wants to be friends again. She tells him that he can't have it both ways; they can either be married or like each other again.

In San Cristobel:

Beth is walking around the palace when Edmund comes in. Beth tells him how beautiful everything is there. Edmund tells her that Lizzie and Susan went to the beach to learn to water ski with the Royal Instructor. James is with his nanny and Edmund fed him earlier. He isn't sure how a baby can produce that much saliva. Beth finds it humorous and a bit touching that Edmund actually fed the baby. She tells Edmund that children can always sense someone's true nature and James, Lizzie and Susan all adore him so he must not be as bad as he wants everyone to think he is. They discuss going out to get some fresh air and maybe a picnic. Beth goes to change.

In the garden, Richard is talking to Dax and tells him that he has no claim to the throne. Dax can't believe his ears. Richard tells him that Edmund is the true heir to the throne, not he. Dax doesn't understand. Richard tells him that he is not Princess Charlotte's son; he is his father's bastard, son of his true love, his mistress. Dax tells him that he is not illegitimate. Richard goes to the table rock and clears the grave. He tells Dax that below this stone is the grave of Prince William the true heir to the thrown the true son born to his father and Princess Charlotte. William was still born and he was born a day earlier to the mistress of his father, a woman he knows nothing of. Dax said it can't be true. He remembers the monarchy being unstable at the time of his birth and they were in need of an heir. Richard tells him that Princess Charlotte left clues to the truth. Richard tells Dax that he is an imposter and "Edmund, God help us, is the next in line to the thrown of San Cristobel." Dax thanks Richard for trusting him enough to confide this to him but he wishes he hadn't. Richard tells Dax that he would love nothing more that to believe this was one of Edmunds schemes but all of this was done before Edmund's birth. Dax tells him to think of all the problems that have plagued the monarchy these past decades. He tells Richard to think of those and proceed carefully and not to give in to theories and doubt the integrity of Prince George. Richard tells him that it isn't just theory. He shows Dax the letter from his mother.

Edmund is sitting in a chair when Beth walks in with a bikini on and a transparent cover up on. She tells him that she is all dressed and ready to go. She asks if they need anything for the picnic. He tells her that everything is ready. He stares at her and she asks if something is wrong. He tells her nothing is wrong and they should get going before the kids start skiing. He tells her they can go through the garden to get to the beach.

Richard waits while Dax reads the letter and asks him if he recognize the handwriting as his mother's. Dax says why would she forbid someone to disturb the grave if she wanted that letter to be found. He wonders if there maybe isn't a baby in the grave. Richard says they should face it; it is not his place to rule. Dax tells him he is the only ruler for San Cristobel . Richard says he cannot make mockery of the monarchy. Dax tells him that Edmund could rule effectively since he has the discipline and training. Richard says he has struggled with that but they both know all the dirty tricks Edmund has pulled and the simple truth is that Edmund is unfit to rule and he (Richard) is not entitled to. Dax tells him that nothing has been proven yet and he begs Richard not to do anything until they know more. Richard asks Dax if he wants him to pretend he doesn't know anything. Dax tells him that is what he is saying, at least until they investigate further. Dax asks Richard to let him do his job and he will locate his mother's lady in waiting, if she is still alive, if not maybe her attending physician. He tells Richard if they testify that the note is valid, they will cross that bridge when they get there. He tells Richard that he deserves to know the truth. Richard tells him to do what he needs to do. Dax goes to get started and turns to Richard at the door. He tells him not to say a word to Edmund until they learn the truth; it is far to great a risk.
