Shawn and T.J. arrived at the lake house. As they stood on the porch, waiting for Alexis to answer the door, Shawn ordered T.J. to lose the attitude. T.J. insisted that he was an entrepreneur, so he hadn't done anything wrong at Metro Court hotel. Moments later, Alexis pulled the door open, and then invited Shawn and T.J. to enter. Molly suggested that she and T.J. study in her bedroom, so T.J. followed her.

Alexis wondered how things were going with T.J. Shawn worried that he had bitten off more than he could chew. Alexis assured Shawn that it was normal; she had three children, and still felt like that at times. Shawn smiled, and then thanked Alexis for allowing Molly to help T.J. study. Moments later, Diane stopped by. Diane was startled to see Shawn standing in Alexis' living room, so Alexis introduced Shawn, and then explained that Molly was tutoring Shawn's ward.

After Shawn left, with promises to pick up T.J. later, Alexis leaned outside to let the cool air wash over her. Diane realized that Alexis was having a hot flash, so she gave Alexis a book about menopause. Alexis was less than thrilled, because it made her feel old. Diane insisted that they were as young as they felt. Diane claimed that she felt twenty-five, and then added "Especially after last night." Alexis immediately perked up, and demanded to know what Diane was referring to.

Diane insisted that she'd had fun playing pool, and then suggested that Alexis should have let her hair down. Alexis argued that she had played strip pool along with Diane, Coleman, and Mac, but Diane reminded Alexis that Alexis hadn't removed so much as an earring. Alexis argued that it wasn't her fault that she was good at pool, and then warned Diane to stop trying to fix her up with Mac. Diane confessed that Mac probably wouldn't be interested in Alexis. Alexis was shocked when confessed that Diane and Mac had spent the night together.

Diane admitted that Mac had been drunk and distraught, so Diane had tried to comfort him. Alexis warned Diane not to take advantage of Mac, because Mac was a nice guy. Diane agreed, but Alexis wasn't satisfied. Alexis accused Diane of being a slut, so Diane suggested that Alexis read the book on menopause, and then left. "Bitch," Alexis murmured to Diane's retreating back.

T.J. was impressed with Molly's bedroom. Molly explained that it had belonged to her sister, Kristina, but Molly had moved in after Kristina had left for Yale. T.J. looked at the expensive décor, and noted that he understood why Molly could afford to lose her laptop. Molly argued that she had forgotten it. T.J. shrugged, and then suggested that she was lucky that he was an honest person, and had returned it.

Molly changed the subject by handing T.J. the first three chapters of Catcher in the Rye, which she had recorded for him. She hoped that it would help him to keep up with his homework assignment. T.J. reluctantly listened to the recording, and then later conceded that he had enjoyed the story. Molly felt vindicated, because she had been certain that T.J. would be able to identify with the main character in the book. T.J. thanked Molly for her help, so he offered to return the favor by making a new MyFace page for her.

According to T.J., Molly's current page had a picture that made Molly look ten-years old. T.J. handed Molly a magazine, and then urged her to find a picture that she liked. He then tweaked her picture to make her look older, and to give her a sophisticated hairstyle. Next, T.J. invited Molly to select a new name for her MyFace page, so Molly chose Desdemona, a Shakespearian character from Othello. T.J. then urged Molly to create a profile based on who she would like to be, rather than who she was. Molly quickly slammed the laptop shut when Alexis poked her head into the room to check on the teens.

Molly and T.J. assured Alexis that they were studying, so Alexis left. Later, T.J. and Molly entered the living room. T.J. credited Molly for getting him interested in the book, Catcher in the Rye, and then left. Alexis was pleased that Molly was helping T.J., but Alexis didn't want Molly to fall behind in her own studies. Molly assured her mother that she wouldn't, and then returned to her bedroom. Alone, Molly opened her laptop, and then logged onto her new MyFace account.

At the Metro Court Restaurant, Carly was stunned when Kate revealed that Jax had signed over his half of the hotel to Kate. Carly suspected that Kate had badgered Jax for the hotel, but Kate insisted that Jax had reached out to Kate. Carly demanded to speak to Jax, but Kate admitted that she had no idea how to contact Jax. However, Kate assured Carly that the transfer of ownership had been perfectly legal. Olivia overheard Carly and Kate's argument, so Olivia wondered what was going on. Olivia's jaw dropped when Kate proudly announced that she was Olivia's new boss.

Kate's smug smile faltered when Carly asked how Sonny had taken the news. Kate insisted that it was none of Sonny's business, so Olivia was curious when her cousin had become interested in the hotel business. Before Kate could respond, Shawn walked up to ask for a private word with Carly. Carly marched off, with Shawn trailing behind her. Meanwhile, Olivia tried to get to the bottom of the unexpected news. Olivia admitted that she was concerned about Sonny's reaction to Kate and Jax's business deal.

Olivia was certain that Sonny would feel betrayed, especially after what had happened between Brenda and Jax. According to Olivia, Sonny had his own rules, but Kate argued that she was not Carly, Brenda, or even Olivia; Kate had her own life. Kate then changed the subject by wondering how things were going with Olivia and Steve. Olivia assured her cousin that things were moving forward, but Kate was curious if it had been Steve's decision or Olivia's. Olivia was clearly uncomfortable with the direction of the discussion, so she turned the focus back on Kate's new business venture. Olivia wondered why Kate hadn't set her sights on another hotel, instead of going after Metro Court.

Kate insisted that it had been a sound business decision, but Olivia warned Kate that things would not end "happily or well." Meanwhile, Carly continued to rant to Shawn about Jax's decision to sell his shares of the hotel to Kate. Carly felt betrayed, and wondered why Jax hadn't given Carly the shares. Shawn suggested that perhaps it had been Jax's way of cutting ties with Carly. Shawn urged Carly to sign the divorce papers, and to move on, because it was time to let Jax go, once and for all. Carly refused to consider it, prompting Shawn to wonder what was holding Carly back.

Shawn realized that he had hit a nerve when Carly claimed that it was personal. Carly quickly changed the subject by wondering what he was doing there. Shawn explained that he wanted to make certain that T.J. had learned a lesson. Carly assured Shawn that everything was okay, but Shawn wanted Carly to put T.J. to work, so that T.J. realized that he couldn't go around running scams. Carly smiled wickedly, and then suggested that perhaps she could put T.J. to work with her new partner, Kate. "That's my Carly," Shawn replied.

Shawn advised Carly to consider signing the divorce papers, and then left. Moments later, Carly returned to Kate's side. "Still harassing my employees?" Carly snidely asked, as she watched Olivia walk away. Kate ignored the remark, and then reminded Carly that they had to prepare for Sonny's party. Kate had a few suggestions, but Carly thought that Sonny should know about Kate and Jax's business deal. Kate warned Carly to stay out of it, but Carly threatened to tell Sonny, if Kate didn't, because Carly was confident that Sonny would view it as a betrayal.

At the hospital, Robin selected something from the vending machine, so Maggie warned Robin that the junk food could kill Robin. Robin smiled as she confessed that she was willing to take her chances, and then offered Maggie a piece of a candy bar. Maggie readily accepted the treat, and then asked Robin about the AIDS conference in Africa, and the patient that Robin had been concerned about. Robin revealed that her "patient" had stabilized, and then changed the subject by wondering if Maggie had settled into the hospital's routine. Maggie admitted that she enjoyed working at the hospital, so Robin was curious what it felt like to work with Steve. Maggie seemed surprised by the question, prompting Robin to admit that it was clear that Maggie and Steve shared some history.

Moments later, Robin spotted Mac, so she excused herself, and then approached her uncle. Robin was curious if Mac had received her message, so Mac wondered if Robin had the results of her blood tests. Mac was relieved when Robin assured him that her viral loads were good, and that the drug protocol was working. Mac confessed that he had been concerned that Robin had given up. Robin admitted that she had been worried that dying had been fate's way of evening the score, because she had everything that she had wanted. Robin and Mac then began to talk about hope.

Robin believed that people opened themselves up to trying new things when they lost hope. Mac agreed. Robin sensed that her uncle was talking about something else, so Mac confessed that he'd been desperate to find a way to escape, because he had been so worried about Robin's situation. Robin wondered what Mac had done, but Mac refused to elaborate. According to Mac, the important thing was that she was better. Robin persisted, so Mac smiled, and then revealed that he had played a little pool.

Maggie approached Steve, as he pounded the vending machine in frustration. Steve explained that he was having a bad day, and that Maggie was the only person who could understand. Steve revealed that he'd had a patient who had been seriously injured by someone involved in a high-speed chase. Steve was livid because the driver had escaped with just a scratch, while Steve's patient would have to spend at least a year in therapy to recover from the injuries sustained by the hit-and-run. Steve's mood didn't improve when Maggie confided that Robin had noticed that Maggie and Steve had shared a past.

Steve hoped that was all that Robin had noticed. Maggie suggested that she and Steve should remain patient, because time healed all wounds. Steve thought perhaps it was time for them to confess what they had done. Maggie admitted that she had thought about it, but she doubted that it would accomplish anything. Steve warned her that he had a feeling that their past would catch up with them, but Maggie insisted that they needed to focus on the life that they had saved on that fateful day. "Instead of the one that we took?" Steve asked.

Maggie conceded that there were days when she had doubts about their decision, but she found comfort knowing that they were in it together. Steve confessed that he felt like a ticking time bomb, so he needed someone to talk to. Maggie assured him that she would always be available, if he needed her. "Back at you," Steve replied.

At the cabin that Jason had built, Jason and Sam talked about their baby. They both felt content and peaceful about the pregnancy, but Sam remained concerned about Jason's health problems. Jason assured Sam that everything was okay, but Sam argued that he had swelling on the brain. Jason insisted that Robin worried too much. Sam recalled hearing that happiness was good for one's health, so she agreed that perhaps everything would be fine. She then shifted gears to warn Jason that their lives were about to change dramatically, because of the baby.

Sam wondered if Jason were ready for fatherhood, so Jason assured her that he was. Jason then turned the question on Sam; he was curious how she felt about the timing of the pregnancy. Sam confessed that she wasn't surprised, because they had spent most of their honeymoon making love. She wondered if perhaps the fertility necklace had helped them, but Jason insisted that they deserved all of the credit. Later, Sam admitted that things felt different from her last pregnancy, because she was married to a man whom she loved. Sam then began to talk about converting the pink bedroom to a nursery.

Sam confessed that she was nervous about having a baby, because she had no idea how to change a diaper. Jason promised to help Sam. Sam smiled as Jason kissed his wife, and then fetched some wood. Sam wanted to stay in the cabin until the baby was born, but Jason warned her that people would notice that they were missing. However, Jason suggested that they spend the weekend in the cabin. Sam loved the idea, but she revealed that she was starving. Jason presented her with a bag of food that he had packed.

Sam looked in the bag, but then a wave of nausea hit her, so she raced to the bathroom. A short time later, she returned, ready to dig into some salsa and chips, but another bout of nausea forced her back to the bathroom.

Cassandra was surprised when Ethan arrived at Wyndemere with a gift for her. It was a bag filled with items, including a blindfold. Cassandra was reluctant to be blindfolded, but Ethan explained that it was part of an experiment that might help her to recover some of her memories. Ethan intended to have Cassandra taste various dishes, to see if she recognized any of them. Cassandra agreed to be blindfolded, provided that Ethan promised not to feed her anything disgusting.

After Ethan blindfolded Cassandra, he fed her a piece of food. Cassandra liked it, but she didn't recognize it. Ethan revealed that it was a kabob from an Afghanistan restaurant on Main Street. Next, he fed her a spoonful of something that Cassandra described as unusual tasting. Ethan became distracted when he heard a noise in the tunnel. Cassandra slid off her blindfold, as Ethan went to the tunnel to investigate.

Cassandra tried to stop Ethan by suggesting that the castle was always creaking. Ethan remained undeterred, so Cassandra claimed that she'd had a flash of memory from tasting the last thing that Ethan had fed to her. Ethan quickly returned to her side. He explained that the food had been rice pudding from the Indian market. Cassandra recalled that the Indian market had been noisy and crowded, so perhaps she had once been in India. Ethan was curious when Cassandra had been to the Indian market.

Cassandra's eyes filled with tears, as she explained that she had been waiting for "him." Ethan wondered whom she was referring to, but Cassandra insisted that she had no idea. Ethan admitted that Ewen wasn't his favorite person, but perhaps Ewen had been right about her suppressing a painful memory. Cassandra pretended to be shaken, so Ethan sat down on the sofa, and then held her in his arms. She apologized for losing the thread of the memory, but confessed that she felt safe with Ethan. Cassandra noticed Ethan staring at the tunnel, so she assured him that she hadn't heard anything.
