Carl confronts Harley in the diner alley. He is aware she has been digging into his past relationship with Beth and tells her he intends to cut his trouble off "at the source" -- her. Harley asks Carl to tell her exactly what happened between him and Beth. He claims that Beth's allegations of abuse were made up by her to gain Phillip's sympathy. He also lets Harley know that Beth was the one who turned him on to Harley's snooping. He tries to strike a deal with Harley whereby they help each other out, but as he talks he slips up, revealing that he did abuse Beth. Harley immediately tells him where he can take his offer! She lectures him on woman-abusing and lets him know in no uncertain terms that she intends to put him behind bars for a long time.

Young Reva shows up at Lewis Oil to see Josh and greets Cassie, who doesn't recognized her from their meeting at the park. Cassie accuses her of being "Josh's bimbo." Josh hears them arguing and rushes Reva into an elevator before brother Billy can see her! Josh takes her home (to Michael's) to find that Michael has been locked in the bathroom by Reva, who wanted to get out of the apartment. She pleads with the two men to tell her the truth about her life...why she's growing up so fast and doesn't have memories like other teenagers. Josh decides she deserves to know, so he talks a very reluctant Michael into leaving them alone to talk. Josh sits down with the clone Reva and explains to her how he loved and lost his wife, Reva.
The real Reva walks around the island talking to herself as she builds a shelter on the beach. She attempts some fishing, and while doing so, spots a ship in the distance which doesn't see her.
Cassie confides in Billy how she's been feeling over Reva's absence. Billy tells her that he believes Josh isn't having an affair -- that the only way Reva would walk away from his brother was if she was "6 feet under or on a deserted island!" Billy suggests that Cassie stay out of it and let things work themselves out for Reva and Josh. Cassie finally agrees, and calls to apologize to Michael Burke for being so accusatory. On the phone, however, Michael is terse and hangs up on her, causing her to leave for his place in person.
At show's end:
