Beth was getting drunk at the Beacon since it was her birthday and Valentines Day and she was all alone. Beth had a few words with Olivia saying that she (Beth) tried to do the right thing by Phillip, Bill, and Lizzie while Olivia was going after a man who was spoken for and pitting father against son and look, Olivia has two men fighting for her and Beth has nobody. She left and moved on to Towers to have a few more drinks.

After Bill told Michelle his feelings of wanting to get a room and make love to her, Michelle told Bill to get them a room! While they were kissing, waiting for the elevator, Beth stepped out of the elevator and said "Well, if it isn't my ex, with the woman he left me for..." Bill told Beth to go get some sleep but Beth just kept talking and told Michelle how Bill made her feel like he would love her forever and what he did was love her long enough for her to leave Phillip and ruin her relationship with Lizzie. She said she understood how easy it was to fall for Bill because she fell so far in love she fell on her face! When Beth got through, Bill didn't feel like going up to the room and told Michelle she was right and that they needed to take it slow. Michelle was trying to convince Bill that she WANTED to spend the night with him but Bill kept arguing saying it wasn't the right time. Michelle was mad and when Bill offered to take her home, she told him she would take a cab and he should stay and go after Beth to nurse his guilty conscience.

Back at the Beacon, Cassie came in with her kids and they were running around and caused a drink to spill on Olivia. Olivia jumped up and screamed, "Control your brats!!" Cassie got her kids taken care of then went over and kind of popped Olivia in the back of the head and asked her what her problem was. Olivia started bawling and Cassie said "Are you PREGNANT?" When Olivia confessed, Cassie told her she was worried about her being a mother and referred back to her screaming at her kids. She told her that kids run and play AND spill things. Cassie told her it shouldn't matter she can hire a nanny so she'll never have to raise the child and Olivia said she was doing it on her own, explaining there would be no father to help either. Cassie said, "That's stupid! You didn't get pregnant on your own and you can't raise this child on your own either."

At the Spaulding Mansion, Alan was talking to Alexandra saying he plans on telling the whole world that Olivia is pregnant with his baby. Alex, remembering the photos she found, asked Alan how he knows Olivia is carrying HIS baby. Alan said that Phillip would never go as far as to sleep with his father's wife. Alexandra accused him of using the baby as a pawn when he said he already had a trust fund set up for the baby. When Alan left, she deleted a message from the answering machine of Olivia calling for Alan then she called Lizzie and asked her to call and invite Alan up for a visit.

Zach fell asleep on Harley's lap and Gus picked him up to carry him to bed when the doorbell rang. He answered it with Zach still in his arms and it was Phillip. He offered to let Phillip carry him up to bed but Phillip said "no" and Harley invited him in. While Gus was tucking him in bed, Harley and Phillip talked and she found out something about him she never knew. Phillip had a special Nanny at one point when he was young that he loved. He said she was like a second mother to him. He called her Reggie T, although that was not her real name. It was shortened so Phillip could pronounce it. When Harley asked what happened to her, he thought back and said she disappeared one day and he thought Alexandra got rid of her. She tried to push on trying to get more information but Phillip was wondering why she was so interested in an old nanny. When Phillip left, Gus asked what that was all about and said he knows Harley's style and she was "interrogating." Harley confessed that she knew what happened to Roy Baker and explained how Alexandra had him transferred and that's why she was at the hospital that day when he left for Chicago. She told him of the paper Roy dropped for her and that had the name Gina on it. She told Gus she was wondering if there could be a connection...Gina....Reggie...could it be a short form for an Italian name like Regina? They got out the records they got from Danny and found an R.T. that made weekly payments to the Santos family and lived at the same address that his mother/dead Jane Doe did. The payments stopped the week of her death. They sat around and tried to figure out what Alexandra could possibly be hiding.

Gus has Alexandra and Edmund brought into the station for questioning. Alexandra asks Ben to have her lawyer meet her at the station. Ben informs Alexandra that her lawyer is not available. Ben goes to Company and mentions to Buzz that Alexandra was arrested. Buzz asks Ben if he saw Edmund at the station as well. Ben confirms that Edmund was also at the station and asks Buzz not to divulge the information to anyone. Later, Ben seeks Ross' advice regarding his job. Gus questions Alexandra and Edmund separately. Alexandra finally admits to Gus that his father is Miguel Santos and that his mother is Phillip's au pair, Regina. Alexandra admits that Regina was under Miguel Santos' protection. A devastated Gus orders Alexandra to get out and take Edmund with her. Later, Alexandra reveals to Edmund that Gus does not know the whole story, but if her ever finds out he will be sorry. Harley comforts Gus by reminding him that his real parents were the Augustinos. As Olivia fantasizes about Phillip, she realizes he is standing right in front of her. Olivia asks Phillip if he regrets the night they shared. Phillip regards the past as the past and is glad they did not hurt more lives. Monica, Alan's PI, approaches Olivia. Monica reveals to Olivia that Alan had Olivia's birth control pills replaced with a placebo. As Monica leaves, Phillip approaches Olivia and says that he does not regret sleeping with her. Olivia wants to tell Phillip that she is pregnant, but holds back.

At the Bauer house
 As Rick was talking on the phone, he heard a car pull onto his driveway. Danny enters. He said he was there to pick up Robbie. He then asked where Michelle was. Rick said that Michelle's schedule was crazy. But Danny noticed that her car was parked in front of the house. Rick asked him to cut her some slack. He yelled and said he was leaving. Danny exits.

When Michelle entered the kitchen Danny was there. He wanted to get things out in the open. He said the games they were playing had to stop. She said that she and Bill were more connected than he knew. He wanted to know if she slept with Bill. She replied, "What if I had?" But he wanted to know why she was answering his questions with a question. She told him that maybe it was none of his business. He told her she couldn't help being in love with him. He knew that they were meant for each other. He told her he was scared too. He said he would continue to hope that she would give him another chance. He said he couldn't stand the thought of living his life without her. Bill enters. Danny told Bill to come later since he and Michelle were talking. But Bill said it would be a mistake for him to leave. Danny added that it would be even a bigger mistake if Bill stayed.

At Towers
 Bill was showing Billy some construction plans. Billy asked him what was wrong. He felt as if Bill didn't like the idea of Danny being his boss. Bill saw Beth enter. As Bill watched, Beth walked by and sat at another table. Bill told Billy that he needed to talk to Beth.

Bill joined Beth at her table. He told her he wasn't angry with her. She remembered enough of what happened the night before to know how she acted. Bill couldn't find fault with what she said the night before and agreed that he hadn't been treating her right. Bill exits.

Rick asked Phillip what was going on. Phillip said that his world had changed. He said there wasn't anything to tell because he came to his senses. He felt that what he had done with Olivia was wrong. But Rick said it seemed as of he was still in love with her.

Phillip enters. Beth agreed to go with him to see Lizzie. He exited to use the payphone to call the airline to get a ticket for her. Rick told her that she invited herself to go along. Rick wanted to know if it wasn't an amicable gesture. Beth and Phillip exit.

At the Beacon hotel
 Dr. Sedwick told Olivia about the birth control pills. She said she had the lab check them. Olivia said there was a problem with the pills. Dr. Sedwick told her that the pills were sugar pills. She said she had been victimized and needed to have an investigation. But Olivia said she needed to consider her options. Olivia told her she didn't know what she was going to do with this information. Dr. Sedwick exits.

Olivia called Alan to tell him that she left a message for him. She said that she would like to talk to him. She asked him to meet her at Mystic Island. She played the part of a romantic wife. Olivia began to daydream that Phillip would lose everything if the baby was his. Then she reverted to remembering how life would be if it was Alan's baby. She dreamed that she would be happy. Then she saw Phillip entering the room (in her dream). When she returned to reality, she realized that the baby should come first.

At the Spaulding mansion
 Alex enters. She was surprised to see Phillip. Alex wanted to know if he was going to see Lizzie. He told Alex that she seemed anxious to get rid of him. But she said she thought that Lizzie was homesick. She didn't want him to disappoint Lizzie and not show up. But he doubted her opinion. He informed her that he wasn't interested in Olivia or Alan. Phillip exits.

But Michelle said she was talking to Bill and wanted him to leave. Bill exits. Michele said she wasn't going to move backwards because she was starting a new life on her terms. Screaming, Danny told her that she wasn't willing to try. Michelle told him that it was over and begged him to let her find her happiness. Danny exits.

Bill enters. Bill said he didn't like being sent to his room like a child. She kissed him passionately. Michelle told Bill that he was the one that she needed and wanted and for him to lead the way. They walked to the bedroom. As they were beginning to make love, Michelle saw Danny's face in place of Bill's. Bill told her she wished he were Danny. Bill started to dress again and said that he wasn't gong to stick around. Bill exits.

At Towers
 Tony and Cassie were wondering where Danny was since he was supposed to meet them. Tony told her that she was also Danny's mouthpiece. Tony said that he used to work close to Danny before she came along. He commented that Danny was never late for meetings and used to be more focused. He felt that the reason was Cassie. Tony wanted to know if their relationship had gone beyond being business partners. He apologized for being so personal, but he wanted to know if the Towers job was going to succeed. She reminded him that she had invested a lot in the project. Cassie said that all Danny thinks about was getting Michelle about.

As Tony was leaving, Danny enters. Standing, Tony told Danny that he was an hour late. Cassie said they were worried about him. Danny said that this project was on his list of priorities. He apologized for being late. Cassie said they had the bridge loan. Cassie said even if they open tomorrow it wouldn't help him get Michelle back. Cassie exits to make a telephone call.

Danny reassured Tony that he wasn't keeping him in the dark. He wanted to know if the expansion ideas included Cassie. Danny said they needed her because her name wasn't Santos. Danny wanted to give the Santos name a good reputation. Tony agreed to stay with him. Cassie enters. Tony said he was going to see if he could find them some seating options. Tony exits. Danny said he needed to leave to pick up Robbie at the sitters.

At the Beacon Hotel
 Alex wanted to know where she was going on the Spaulding jet. Alex said Olivia's situation was a little difficult with the involvement with Alan and Phillip. Olivia said she had a plane to catch. Alex said there was a solution and that was for Olivia to divorce Alan. Then Olivia could get back to her carefree ways. She reminded her that she would be at the mercy of the Spaulding men if she had the baby. Alex suggested a clinic in another country. Olivia took the information. She said without the baby she and Alan would be finished and she would be out of Alex's life for good. Alex admitted that she did have a stake in the situation. But Olivia said she liked a challenge and she thanked Alex for helping her to make a decision. She said that she wanted the baby and she couldn't wait to meet the little one. Smiling, Olivia exits.

Olivia called Alan to let him know that she was on her way to the airport and would see him soon. Alan said he had been waiting for this reconciliation. Olivia told him that there was something they needed to talk about. She wanted to be sure they would be alone. Alan said there was nobody around.

At Mystic Island
 Olivia enters. She commented on how beautiful the cottage was. Alan said he did it for them. Alan said he wanted her more than ever. He said nothing could stop them. Olivia said it would be a good idea to get their relationship back on track. He noticed that she wasn't drinking. Olivia heard footsteps. Alan said he would go and check. She poured him a glass of wine and handed it to him when he returned. They decided to toast to her pregnancy. He said she had made him the happiest man in the world. He wanted to know why she didn't tell him sooner. Olivia said it worked out perfect for him because it was like he planned it. Olivia said the stars had a little help. She reminded him of the private investigator that he hired to switch her birth control pills. She told him that he was going to pay for what he did.

Alan didn't deny what he did. But he said that he always believed that the end justified the means. He said they have what they wanted with her being pregnant. Alan felt the baby will bind them together, but Olivia said it would be like a ball and chain. She told him he was delusional if he wanted her to thank him. Olivia said he knew nothing about love. He said he loved her. But she reminded him how he had behaved with faking heart attacks. Olivia told him there was no baby because she wasn't pregnant. She said she miscarried. She told Alan that her doctor told her she would never conceive thanks to Alan.

But Alan didn't believe it because he said Monica Parker only put sugar in the pills. Crying, Olivia said she would be fertile for the rest of her life. Alan wanted to know why he was feeling so tired. Olivia told him he had ingested poison. But then she said it was only a sedative and he would have s very long and sound sleep. Olivia told him that it could be months before anyone found him. She took his cell phone and said she was going to cut the power and phone lines before she left. She told Alan she would be with his son if he needed her. Olivia exits. The power went out in the cottage.

Reva called a family meeting (Bill, Billy, Marah, Cassie) to tell them that they think the stalker got a hold of the phone numbers from her address book. She wanted everybody to change their phone numbers and not give her the new numbers until they catch the person stalking her. Marah informed them that she had just left the police station because she received a call from the stalker too and said that the person said, "Time is running out."
Blake, Holly, and Ross were discussing a possible law suit against WSPR when Ross got a phone call from the police station asking if Holly can account for her whereabouts an hour before and explained that Marah got a phone call from the stalker. Holly was mad and was like "what do I do? I wish they would put me on 24 hour surveillance to prove I'm not doing this!" When Blake asked her to move in with them, Holly said, "to have a built in babysitter?" Blake said "NO" in a way that showed she doubted her mother's innocence. Holly said "you think I did it don't you?" and Blake tried to convince her that she didn't but Holly flew out of there and went to Reva's. There she swore to Reva that she was not doing all those horrible things and would never threaten Marah. She also informed Reva she had been fired from WSPR and Reva was shocked and upset. Josh walked in and made it clear he thinks Holly is guilty upsetting Holly all over again and she left saying "FINE!" Reva was mad at Josh then for thinking Holly is guilty and said she was going to make this creep come out in the open and vows it's going to stop!

Rick could tell Michelle was upset and asked her what was wrong. She told him that she thought she just ruined her and Bill's relationship and was not even sure they were still friends. She was mad at herself for hurting and using him. Rick encouraged her to go find him and work it out. She didn't have to because Bill ended up showing up at her house. Bill told Michelle she should work things out with Danny. Michelle apologized several times and Bill assured her that they are still friends. Their conversation was in the doorway, Bill left without even coming into the house.
When Frank came to visit Rick, Rick confided in him about Michelle's problems with Danny and Bill. Frank said to send Michelle his way! Rick said "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HER." Frank sounded like he was teasing saying he would make the perfect brother-in-law and showed Rick that he took his wedding ring off. Rick seemed very serious and irritated when he said, "stay away from my sister."

Danny was at Towers trying to get things together. Gus showed up while Danny was telling the cook to not cook with grease that has peanut oil in it because a lot of people are allergic to peanuts. Gus was returning the boxes of records he took. Gus asked Danny if he ever knew any of his dad's women friends and Danny said no, explaining that his dad was never home and never brought them around any women or business. Gus told him that what he told the cook was a good idea because he's allergic to peanuts and Danny said, "So was my father."
Bill and Cassie showed up at Towers together to talk about renovations but Bill backed out when he got there and told them he didn't want to be part of the project anymore. Danny said that what happened last night with Michelle was nothing and has nothing to do with business and anyway, Michelle threw him out. But Bill said he didn't want any part of it and as he left he told Danny he would have to find another way to push Michelle's buttons.
Danny felt that he let Cassie down and was apologizing for screwing everything up. Cassie tried to tell him that he's fine and that this was not his fault. Danny said, "no, it isn't ok, I want to be a good business partner for you." And left. He showed up at Michelle's door. She gave a sigh like she was disgusted to see him.

Harley told Buzz about the possibility of Miguel Santos being Gus's father and Buzz is concerned of repercussions if he is in fact his father. (what kind of man Gus really is and problems with Phillip) Buzz volunteered to try to get information out of Alexandra. He also gave Harley a good idea that if Gus's mother was Phillips nanny that there had to be a picture of her SOMEWHERE in that house. Harley went to the mansion and told the Butler that she was there to collect some of Zach's clothes and pictures of Phillip when he was baby. When the Butler told Alexandra this (who is sporting a new hairdo), she said to herself, "you never give up, Harley." When Harley was leaving, she stopped her from taking the pictures. Alexandra told Harley that Gus needed to just get over it because he has a nice girlfriend and has a nice family situation with Harley and her kids and the information he's trying to find could change all that. Harley still managed to get out with a picture marked "Phillip and Reggie" on the back.
