At the Lewis House:
Marah hears the window break and knows someone is in the house. She goes to peer downstairs and hears more movement. She goes back in and tries to wake Tony. Apparently, all the pain medication she gave him has totally knocked him out. She hears her mom calling out for her and going down the steps and starts to worry about her. She goes down quietly vowing to protect Tony. Meanwhile, Reva thinks Marah or Shayne made the noise and she is calling out for them. She goes by the door and feels the wind coming in the broken glass and realizes that someone had broken in the house. She walks around calling out to the stranger, asking what they want. The guy pounces on Reva and demands to know where "the kid" is. Reva thinks he wants Marah or Shayne and she refuses to tell him anything. She struggles with him and gets her hands on the gun but the guy soon after gets it back. She tries to hit him with Shayne's Lacrosse stick but that also doesn't work. As soon as the guy backs up into the foyer, Marah comes out with an iron skillet and slams it over his head, knocking him out cold. Reva hugs Marah and tells her how worried she was. Marah tells her that she called the police and they are on their way. Reva asks her to get some rope and help her tie the bad guy up until they arrive. Marah does and they wrap his wrists and ankles. The police show up and ask them what happened. David is in charge and he doesn't seem to like any of the answers that Marah was giving them. Harley and Frank come in. They tell Reva about the break in and shooting at the Bauer's and that there was a dead body there that they presume is the partner of the man lying in their foyer. Harley asks Marah what the guy was doing there and she told them finally that they were after Tony. She tells them about finding Tony and how he was shot. She brought him home and doctored him. Reva is furious. Shayne has by come down and overhears that Tony is upstairs. He asks if he is dead. Marah tells them that he is asleep because she gave him some of her mom's painkillers. Reva tells her that she is very angry with her. Marah yells that she had to do something to help him. David tells Marah that she is now implicated in a homicide.
In San Cristobel:
At the palace, Edmund and Beth are all lovey-dovey in the bedroom. Beth thinks she should go back into her suite to sleep for appearance sake. Edmund tells her that he thinks she should stay right where she is and go to sleep. He wants her there with him. She tells him that sounds good to her and she closes her eyes while he strokes her hair. After she had fallen asleep, Edmund gets dressed and goes over to the mirror, admiring himself. He says he has everything he has ever wanted and he isn't going to lose it. He thinks about Richard and grabs a couple cigars, deciding he will talk to him. He leaves.
Down in the jail cell, Richard is startled when Cassie appears. She is upset and wants him to listen to her because she has a plan. He tells her that she has to get out of there now. She goes over to the sleeping guard and takes his key to the cell and goes in with Richard. She hugs him and tells him about her plan. He is scared for her and wants her to get out ASAP. She tells Richard that Edmund is trying to make him out to be a raving lunatic and the people will think he is crazy. Richard tells her that the people won't believe him. Cassie isn't so sure. She goes on to tell Richard about how she plans on using Beth to help them get out. Just then they hear Edmund outside demanding the guard to open the doors for him to come in. Edmund sees the guard has been asleep and he is angry. While the guy gets up and Edmund yells at him, Cassie sneaks out. Edmund goes over to the cell and sees that the key is in the lock. He turns to the guard and yells at him about that too. He goes in to the cell and sees that they have Richard handcuffed and shackled. He demands they undo the restraints and treat his brother with respect. Richard laughs at Edmund acting like the caring brother. Edmund starts talking to his brother about all he has now and Richard reminds him that he only has it because he took it by force. He tells Edmund that the people will know that he is nothing more that a bully and a criminal. Richard tells Edmund that the people will learn that he locked him up and they will revolt. Edmund tells him that they will believe whatever he wants them to believe. Edmund tells Richard that he is going to have everything that Richard and his father tried to steal from him. He leaves.
Meanwhile, Cassie has shown up in Edmund's bedroom and wakes Beth. He begs her to listen without screaming. She begs Beth to listen to her as one mother to another. Cassie tells Beth that she wants to get Richard out but will need her help and if she helps her, they will leave and she and Edmund will never hear from them again. Beth doesn't believe her. Cassie tells her that they want to be a family back in Springfield with their two children and they can't do that if he is stuck in prison. Beth asks her what she wants. Cassie tells her that she is going to break Richard out and cause a commotion and all Beth has to do is make sure Edmund sends guards to the North Wall of the palace. Beth asks if she is planning on going south. Cassie tells her that it is the only way and begs Beth to help her. Beth reluctantly agrees. Cassie thanks her and tells her she won't regret it and she and Richard will be out of their lives for good. Cassie leaves. Beth says there is no way she will regret it.
At the Lewis House:
Reva tells Josh what happened the night before as the police come down with Tony and ask him what happened. He and Marah go on to tell them how they accidentally met up at the lighthouse and she helped him. Josh asks Marah why she didn't just call 911 like any normal person. Marah tells him that she couldn't lead anyone to Tony. Harley asks Tony about Danny and what happened at the Bauer's. He tells her that he dropped Danny off at the bus depot and he left for Cincinnati. David yanks Tony around to talk to him and Marah tells David to back off. Harley tells Tony that there is a dead body at the Bauer's and she wonders if he knows anything about it. He tells her that one of the hit men must have turned on their partner. They ask why he didn't go to his grandmother or brother. Tony tells them he didn't want to lead the killers to his family. Josh is ticked that Tony didn't think of the Lewis family before he came into their home. Marah tells them that they happened upon each other and she made Tony come with her so she could help him. David is being a jerk again and grabs Tony telling him to fess up and tell them who the shooters were. Tony told him he had never seen them. David asked him who hired them but Tony wouldn't say. David tells him he was going down to the station to finish answering questions then. Tony tells them he wants to go make sure Michelle and his Godson are alright first and they agree to take him by. He tells Marah he will see her later but Josh yells out to him that he will not be seeing Marah.
That leaves just the family and Josh is fuming. Shane leaves to go upstairs and Marah calls him a coward. Josh says he wants to talk first. He lays into Marah about the situation and she tells him that she knows his point of view and she understands. He tells her that trouble follows Tony and he doesn't know how to make her understand. She tells him that she does understand and explains why she went to the lighthouse in the first place. She said she went to the lighthouse to say goodbye and Tony showed up. Then she brought Tony there and, just as her dad said, trouble followed him. She understands but she loves Tony and she refuses to stop seeing him. He tells her that she had been hurt because he broke it off with her but now she knows he was just doing it to keep her safe and she loves him. Josh starts to protest again but Marah asks him what he wanted her to do, leave him at the lighthouse to die. She tells him there is nothing more to say. She knows they might not be able to respect him for keeping her and his family safe but she can. She leaves. Josh yells after her asking her where she is going. She tells him he doesn't want to know and slams the door behind her. Reva calls after Josh. She tells him that Marah has a point. Reva tells Josh that they need to cut Marah some slack with Tony. She will be 18 soon and will be able to do whatever she wants. If they keep after her, she may leave them to live with Tony and they would never get to see her again. She doesn't want her daughter leaving the house. Reva goes on to tell Josh that Marah did what she thought was right and she understands it all. Josh is trying to combat the information and Reva interrupts him. She tells him that if Marah hadn't came downstairs and helped her, she would be dead and she thinks they should just let it go. Reva cries and Josh holds her. Noah walks in and says that he is so glad to see them together after hearing about his fiancée house being broken into that morning. He wonders why she didn't call him but she called Josh. Josh says his daughter was involved and that is why he was call and he will always be called where his daughter is concerned. Noah tells him he knows that but he wonders why he always makes things worse. He tells him how he punished Marah this time. Josh thinks Noah should keep his mouth shut. He reminds Reva and Josh that Marah got her stubbornness from both of them so they shouldn't be surprised at her obstinacy. He tells Josh that Marah loves Tony and Tony is a good kid, he just has a bad family life. Josh doesn't care. Noah goes on to ask Josh why he doesn't try to help things instead of making it worse. He thinks he should try to show Tony a different way and help him because it is clear his family will not. But instead, Josh comes over and makes a big mess of everything and then leaves to let Reva clean it up. Josh asks Noah why he came in there yelling at him when he should be asking Reva how she is. Noah tells him he can see Reva is fine and reminds Josh that if he hadn't pitched such a fit about their cohabitating he would have been there last night. Josh leaves telling Noah never to lecture him again. Noah turns to Reva expecting her to yell as well but she only apologizes and asks how she can make things up to him. He tells her she just did and they hold each other.

At the Santos villa, Cassie is on the phone with Dax asking if he can get some things together and get them over to the restaurant for Phillip to pick up. He tells her that he will but she needs to be aware that Edmund has someone following Phillip. Cassie says Phillip has it under control.
Phillip comes back in with the box from Dax. He shows it to Cassie and gives her a new cell phone that he got for them. He tells her that no one knows about it so they should be safe. She tells him all about her trip to the palace. She tells him about seeing Richard and then Beth. Phillip thinks she has been very busy. They go over the plan again. Phillip hopes he can pull his part off. He wants to know if she is sure Beth bought it. If Beth thinks she is up to something, they could be in trouble. Cassie says if they figure it out they still won't have figured it out, this plan is foolproof. Phillip goes over and opens up the box Dax left them. It is a guard uniform. He puts it on. Cassie thinks it looks great and knows that no one will recognize him. She tells him just to act very military, like Dax on a bad day. Phillip tries it and she tells him no one will know him. Phillip hopes not. He tells her that would leave all three of them sharing a jail cell.
At the palace, Edmund hangs up the phone; disgusted that Phillip shook the tail that was on him. He is sure that he is helping Cassie.

She is very determined and as long as she is on the run she is a threat to Edmund. Edmund thinks that he should let Cassie break Richard out and then as they are climbing over the palace walls he will have guards shoot them. Beth looks at him a little shocked. Edmund turns to her and asks her what she thinks. She tells him that she doesn't see killing Richard and Cassie as a viable alternative. She tells Edmund that it could cause more problems. The people think Richard is under arrest for his own protection and if something were to happen to him they may revolt. Edmund says that is why he needs her, to keep him grounded. He asks if she thinks he is a horrible person for even thinking it. She says no and he tells her to keep him on the straight and narrow. They kiss. He tells her that the upside to his plan is that Cassie will be out of their way for good. Beth smiles, she likes that. Beth thinks that they should go with Edmund's plan except when they shoot Richard and Cassie, it should be with a camera and then they could arrest them both and silence them that way. Edmund likes it, he thanks her again and he asks her what they should do while they are waiting. She smiles and they start kissing again.

At the palace, Edmund is in the palace sitting room checking his gun. Beth asks him why he has it. Edmund says he is prepared in case someone tries to kill him. Beth asks if he would only do it in self-defense. Edmund reminds Beth that she told him if anything happened to Richard the people would make him a martyr. He tells her that he realizes it is in his best interest to keep Richard alive. Edmund assures Beth that he will leave it to the guards to catch them and throw Richard and Cassie both in jail. Beth wonders if the people will get upset if Cassie is locked up but he tells her he will have an amateur photographer capturing it all on tape then he will edit it and give it to the news. The people of SC will be shocked and then he will finally be one of the good guys. He is sure they will win the hearts of the people yet.
At the jail, Phillip shows up in his uniform acting as a regime physician. He tells the guard Prince Edmund wanted to make sure Richard is safe and cannot accuse them of mistreatment.

After he is through, Phillip tells him to hurry up and open the cell, he has more appointments to get to. The guard opens it and Phillip makes sure Richard realizes he is a doctor that had come to check on them. Richard acts like he is upset that his dear old' brother is still trying to manipulate.

Meanwhile, Edmund is outside the palace with the guards waiting for word on the escape. He reminds the guards that they are to let Richard escape and not do anything until they have word from him. When the guards leave, Edmund pulls out his gun and says he will take care of Richard himself. Beth comes out and tells Edmund that she couldn't take the waiting, everything was too quiet. Edmund tells her he doesn't understand why something hasn't happened yet. Beth tells him they may have changed their agenda again. Edmund doesn't think so. He thinks for a moment and then gets very upset. He tells everyone to follow him.

Carlos arrives and acts like he has no idea why the cops are outside. Maria tells him that Michelle knows everything and so does Danny. Carlos is confused until Danny walks out of the kitchen. He is surprised. Danny tells Carlos that the FBI is moving in and they will take him first but the one they really want is Carlos. Danny assures him that he will be a firewall for all the other families but only in return for his family's safety and his own safety whether he is in prison or out. He tells Carlos if anything happens to him or his family they are cooked. He goes on to tell them how he wrote duplicate letters with enough information in them to put every member of every family away for the rest of their lives. If something happens to any of his family they will be sent to the FBI. He tells them that on top of that the FBI has tape recordings of Maria and Carlos plotting the hit on him. He suggest they both leave town. Maria and Carlos agree. They start to leave. Maria stops and asks if she can have a photo of her great grandson to take with her. Michelle goes and grabs one.

He says Tony knew about the plot to kill Danny but Marah combats that with the fact that Tony got shot protecting Danny. She tells Gus he is a big mean bully. She tries to go by him but he tells her she can't go in Tony's room because he is with his lawyer. Just then Ross comes out and invites Marah in. Gus is ticked again. Marah grins at him and Ross tells him that she is a witness for the defense.
Frank is outside, talking to May. He wants to know if she outranks him and what kind of weapon she has. She assures him she didn't go out with him to get information. Frank compares her to a Trojan horse with her turning from a seemingly innocent to a deadly force.

At the Bauer House:
Michelle is changing Danny's bandage and he is acting like a big baby because the tape hurts him. Michelle asks him how he can stand up to all these mobsters who tried to kill him and yet gets upset over a little pull from a bandage. He laughs. He tells her that he has been worried about one thing. Their insurance policy, (the letters), are still upstairs, they have to get them out of there and to a third party right away. Michelle asks him if he thinks Maria will really leave town. Danny thinks she believed him about the tape and he has no doubt she will be on the first place to Havana, ASAP. Michelle thinks they are safe now from the mob families but she is still worried about the feds. He tells her he doesn't know yet. She tells him they need to call Mary and Gus and have a meeting so they can decide what to do next. Danny isn't sure. He tells Michelle that he made a deal with the families not to say anything and he can't testify against them. Michelle tells him that he did that in order to save their family. Danny tells her if they were to go along with the feds, the other families would find them and take them out before they could do anything. Michelle tells him that she can't lose him to the mob or to prison. Michelle tells him they should call and set up a meeting just to hear what the feds have to say. They call Gus.

Gus tries to get Danny to say more but Danny tells him they will have to talk to Tony about that. They tell Danny that they need information from him about the other families. Danny tells him that the reason he called them was to tell them to their faces that he is not giving them anything. Gus is not happy with this revelation and tells Danny he is stupid. He tells him that they were willing to protect him but now all he is going to get is jail time. Danny tells him that he has to protect his wife and child and if he testifies they will all surely be dead. Gus again offers his protection. Danny tells him that he doesn't trust his protection, he only trusts himself. May tries to talk some sense to Michelle but Michelle stands by Danny. Gus starts to walk away and sees the pictures of the baby. He tells Danny he wants to tell him what is going to happen to him next. He tells Danny he has to spend as much time as he can with his baby in the next few days because he won't be able too much longer. He tells Michelle she needs to talk to her husband before he is put in prison. Danny tells them to get out. Gus and Mary leave. Danny tells Michelle he knew that would happen and now the feds won't leave them alone. He just hopes they can stall them a little bit. Michelle is upset.

He tells Ross on the way out that there is no way he will get bail unless they have some magic. He leaves and Ross tells Tony that if Gus has the tapes he claims to have they will definitely need some magic. Tony asks Ross about the bail. Ross thinks he has a few cards to play as well before they get too concerned. Tony tells him that he doesn't have any money and he is sure his Abuela wouldn't be the best person for him to call. Ross tells him that he will ask Michelle, he is sure she will help. Ross leaves and Marah comes back in to be with Tony. He tells her that he had always thought he would go to prison because everyone in his family had but now he is really scared because for the first time he has something to lose, her.

The guard tries to say something and Edmund loses it and hits him, knocking him to the floor. Phillip tells Edmund not to be angry with the guard since it was all his own doing. He tells Edmund he tricked the guard and then switched clothes with Richard. Phillip is really enjoying the rapport with Edmund but Beth comes over fuming, telling Phillip to stop it. The sirens sound and Beth tells him that he has helped Richard and Cassie get killed. She tells him that the sirens are letting the guards know to find them and they are all heavily armed. She tells Phillip to give up their hiding place for their own protection. Phillip tells her that he hopes they are well on their way to Springfield because once they get there, he is sure they will contact the state department and then Edmund will be in a world of trouble. Edmund tells Phillip the escape is all on his hands and he will pay the consequences. Phillip tells Edmund and Beth that they have to let him out or explain to Lizzie and James why they locked him in a dungeon. Beth is angry at Phillip. Phillip is calm and tells her she is brainwashed and she can't even see what she has let her self become. Beth tells him that she has become a woman with more self-confidence then she ever had with him. Phillip thanks Beth and tells her they would have never been able to pull off the escape without her. He tells her that Cassie knew that she would go straight to Edmund with the information and she played right into their hands. Beth is very angry and storms out. Edmund tells Phillip not to hurt Beth again. He orders the guard to put Phillip in leg irons and cuffs. Edmund tells Phillip he won't let anyone on the outside know that Phillip is there so no one will be looking for him. Edmund further tells Phillip that soon Richard and Cassie will join him. He tells Phillip to sit back and enjoy his stay. Edmund returns to the palace and goes to Beth. Beth asks him if he locked Phillip up. He tells her he did but he won't keep him there forever. Beth is worried about what will happen if Richard and Cassie make it to the states. He tells her everything will be a lot worse. Beth thinks they should have a press conference to get their side out first. Edmund thinks about it and realizes that is a good idea. He will say Richard is in an agitated mental state and needs to be taken back to the palace for his own protection. He thinks that will make the entire country set out looking for him.
Edmund gets off the phone and tells Beth that the airport security has grounded the Spaulding jet and all other outgoing planes have been searched. So he is sure Richard and Cassie are still on the island. He isn't as worried now, they will stay underground and he can concentrate on his coronation. He thinks the coronation will have a great impact on the people and make them see him as continuity instead of tyranny. Beth is worried about Phillip. She says that her children don't have either parent with them and she is very concerned. Edmund thinks Phillip will use the children as leverage so he decides to use some leverage of his own. He calls the guards and orders them to bring Phillip up to the sitting room ASAP.
When Phillip comes in, Edmund tells Phillip he is being deported and will no longer be welcome in San Cristobel. He tells him as far as Spaulding Business, he should have Alan send another construction supervisor. Phillip asks Beth if she will be staying in SC and she tells him she would be. He asks her if there is any way he can change her mind but she tells him there isn't. Phillip tells her that as far as he is concerned she is abandoning their children and he will file for sole custody as soon as he gets back into Springfield.
In the palace yards, Richard, clad in the uniform Phillip had on earlier, is walking down the steps as the guards start heading for the main gate. The siren sounds letting the guards know about the jailbreak. Richard turns to run when a hand pulls on his shoulder. It's Cassie and she tells him she would know that mustache anywhere. She hugs him and they run away from the palace. Richard and Cassie arrive at the airport, but realize that there are armed guards surrounding the Spaulding Jet. Cassie tells him they will have to go with plan B then and they rush off again in the opposite direction. They get to the Santos villa and are both out of breath. They are both worried about Phillip and what Edmund will do now. Richard tells her when they get to the states they will be able to do more. She is upset that they have to hide out in what should have been their love nest. Richard apologizes for getting her into so much mess with the guards after them and the loss of their son. She is crying and Richard goes to hold her. He tells her she has given him so much strength and she didn't leave him when she could have. She says she gets her strength from him and she couldn't leave him in that cell. He says he will never leave her. He kisses her.

Reva tells him he just said the wrong thing. She grabs the phone and calls Josh. Afterwards, Noah is angry that Reva's first impulse was to call Josh. He says that they should let him know where Marah is, but he doesn't think she should have called when Marah is fine and said she will be home later. Reva says Noah doesn't understand. He tells her that her kids love him and if she would have given him a chance to go pick Marah up he would have for her but instead she called Josh. Noah wants her to turn to him and he is sick of being an afterthought. He says he will come by tomorrow if she wants to talk. He has had enough for one night. Noah leaves.

Olivia is irate and asks Sam if she blew it. He tells her she could have handled it a lot better. Olivia looks over and sees that Sam is very upset. Sam tells her that Josh said Marah took Tony into her bed last night. Olivia apologizes to her brother and tells him that he doesn't deserve to have Marah treat him like dirt. Sam tells her she doesn't deserve it either. Olivia agrees but tells him that she signed up for it and has to deal with it. Sam tells her that no one would blame her if she just walked away. Olivia thinks that when they get the San Cristobel project everything will be okay and the focus will be off Reva and Marah.

Marah is still with Tony. He suggests she go home before her parents get upset. She says she is almost 18 and they will have to accept her choices.

Josh tells Tony he thought this is where he would wind up. Tony tells him he didn't expect this; he was only trying to save Danny's life. Josh asks him why he isn't concerned about his daughter's life. Tony tells him he tried to keep away from her but she just happened to be at the lighthouse. He tells Josh he would never put Marah in danger. Josh says he believes him, which makes this so difficult. He knows that danger seems to follow Tony around. Josh says Tony has done a good job of hiding his dark side from Marah but he wonders how long he can keep up that façade. He wonders what will happen once he is back on the streets and ordered to harm someone. Will his violence come out? Tony tells him his family is out of the business and he is not that kid anymore. Josh is unconvinced. Tony tells him he has changed and he believes a good bit of that is because of Marah. Josh tells him you can't change because of another person. He tells Tony he doesn't believe he has changed at all and that is why he wanted to speak to him alone. Josh tells Tony that he knows he will break his daughters heart one day and that is why Josh wouldn't care if they put him in jail and threw away the key. Tony tells Josh he may just get his wish. Josh says that his wish was for Marah to have a happy life and look forward to proms and dates and not have a broken heart because her boyfriend is in the federal penitentiary.
