In Texas:
Edmund comes in and verifies to the police who Richard and Cassie are. Edmund tries to play the hero but Cassie tells him that they have his number and know that he was responsible for all the travesties in San Cristobel. He of course said he knows nothing about what she is talking about. Richard asks Edmund to step out so he can talk to Cassie. Noah and Edmund talk in the hallway. Noah tells Edmund that he may snow Richard but Cassie is a different story. Meanwhile, Richard tells Cassie that Edmund doesn't want to hurt him, he just wants to discredit him. Cassie is very concerned. Richard tells her that even if something does happen to him, he has made arrangements for her and her children. She will never want for money. Cassie was a bit offended and asks Richard if he thinks that is all that matters to her. He finally understands that she does care for him. Edmund walks in and asks if he could have some time with Richard. Edmund asks Richard why he and Cassie were in Texas. Richard told him not to play him, if he wants to talk, to talk, but don't throw around all those lies.
Edmund asks his brother if Gil told Richard who was behind the accident. Edmund tells him that he knows Gil is was the one who caused it but he has no idea who he is working for. Edmund thinks Richard is always thinking badly of him. Richard tells him that all he wants is his brother back. Edmund tells him that he is grateful for the opportunity to restart in Springfield. He starts to tell Richard how he likes Cassie and Richard laughs at him and calls him a snob. Edmund tells Richard that he would relieve him of the throne since that is the only thing that stands between him and what he wants. Edmund says no one would blame him if he stepped down and made a life with his family. Richard tells him that he is taking him off of the SC project.
Noah and Cassie come back. Cassie goes in to pack. Richard tells her that he took him off the project. Cassie wonders why he is giving Edmund so much credit. Richard tells her that Edmund has a caring soul down deep and that things weren't always like this between them. He tells her that he was not always a good brother to Edmund. He tells her about how Edmund asked him to give him the throne and he almost considered it because he liked the past few days, being regular people with her. He would give it all up to be regular with her, if it weren't for Edmund. He can't do that to his country. He can't leave Edmund in charge. Cassie tells him that they can leave anytime now since there story checked out with the police. He says, "I'm going to miss you, Stella." She says, "I am going to miss you, Dwayne." They pack and Cassie thinks about waking up with Richard that morning. Cassie hands him back the wedding ring and he tells her to wear it.
