Tammy convinces Sandy to sneak into the farmhouse to look for clues as to what Edmund and Dinah have been up to. Once inside, they discover a crib has been delivered. While they are examining it, Edmund arrives and tells Tammy it is a symbol of faith - faith that Cassie will return to him and raise the child who will be the glue that holds the family together. Tammy is confused by his cryptic remarks and reminds him that IF there is going to be a child, her mother must first forgive him for setting the fire in the barn. Edmund casually answers it is not IF, but WHEN their child arrives. Tammy, puzzled, is staring at him when her phone rings. Cassie asks her to meet at Company so they can catch up on what's been going on since she left town.

Outside at J Farley's Dinah tells Cassie she should thank her for rescuing her from Jeffrey's studio before Edmund found her there with his enemy. Cassie refrains from offering thanks and questions how Dinah just happened to know where she was at the same time Edmund did. Dinah tells Cassie she has a very strong connection to her these days. Cassie is confused but follows Dinah into the bar. Once inside, Dinah lets it slip that she has been spending a lot of time at Cassie's house with Edmund and really enjoyed the yummy red negligee with the black lace. Cassie is enraged and grabs Dinah while screaming at her to stay out of her house and away from her things. Dinah frees herself by blurting out she is pregnant. Cassie releases her and asks who the alleged father is. Dinah hints it may be Jeffrey and asks if Cassie can't at least try to be a little happy for her.

Harley tries to reason with him, but the more she talks the more anxious he becomes. He actually collapses right in front of her.

Olivia threatens him, "Give me your share of Lewis Construction or else..." Billy walks away and saying "No deal!" But Olivia has agreed with help Alan and Sebastian acquire Lewis Construction for Spaulding Enterprises, so she calls Alan and tells him she believes Billy will cooperate. She is very surprised when her solo celebration is cut short by Bill's appearance in her office. "I didn't know you were here!" she says. "Obviously not," he replies.

Michelle and Danny have lots of apologies to make to their respective romantic partners. Michelle tries to explain to Tony what happened just as Danny apologizes to Marina and tries to explain to her. Michelle does not know what to do when Tony gets on bended knee, offering her an enormous engagement ring. She cannot answer him, saying she is "overwhelmed." The two couples meet by accident at Elizabeth & Company and the tension is thick! Danny and Michelle act as if they've never met. Things only get worse when Tony asks Michelle to show off her engagement ring. Later, she finds she simply cannot tell Tony what happened with Danny...just as he cannot tell Marina what happened with Michelle. Marina is no dummy - she saw the difference in Michelle. Danny does not lie to her when she says "Its back isn't it?" Danny admits Michelle's memory is back and that he wants to slow things down for awhile. Marina is fine with that, but tells Danny she will not give up on what they have without a fight!

Reva and Josh are at Cedars discussing her upcoming pregnancy. Just then Dr. Sedgewick comes to see them. She informs Reva that she's not pregnant. Both Reva and Josh are confused because she has all the symptoms. Then it dawns on Reva--she's in menopause. Sedgewick confirms that Reva is indeed in the early stages of menopause. Both Josh and Reva are disappointed. They then leave the hospital.

Cassie is astounded by all the baby stuff at the farm and asks Edmund about it. Edmund tells her it's for their baby. He tries to explain the situation to her, but Cassie refuses to listen since she's just there to deliver the separation papers. Cassie is still in shock over all the baby items and asks Edmund if he really thought she'd just melt and go back to him just because he bought the stuff. It's then that Edmund tells her that their dream of having a child is already happening; they're going to have a baby. He tells her that found a surrogate to carry their child. Cassie is astonished and Edmund tries to get her to see that there was only a small window of opportunity to use the embryos and so he made the decision. Cassie is in shock that he'd make this decision without even asking her.

Edmund tries to explain himself and tells her he's sure that in time, she'll realize he made the right decision. He assures her that the surrogate signed a contract; they're protected and it's legal. In shock, Cassie states she's going to be sick and runs out of the farm with the papers still in her hand. Just then, Dinah enters, having heard everything. Dinah tries to assure Edmund that he handled everything the best he could, but he thinks he just sounded desperate. He laments that he didn't break the news the right way. As he's trying to think up the next step, Dinah announces that she has it---she'll move out and into her own apartment. She then assures Edmund that Cassie will be back and leaves.

At Company, the Coopers are getting ready to go to Harley's sentencing. Meanwhile, Harley is outside, insinuating to Gus that she and Bill slept together. An angry Gus isn't sure whether to believe it or not and accuses her of doing this on purpose to push him away. Gus asks Harley if this is really how she wants to say goodbye. Gus tells Harley that he wants her tell him she didn't sleep with Bill, but Harley is sticking with her story. She then tells him that she did it because of his decision to live next to the prison. She then tells Gus that she needed someone to hold her, someone who wasn't Gus. She then insists that he has to move on. She then tells him not to come to the courthouse. Angry and hurt, Gus walks away. Harley then asks Bill to back up her story about the two of them if Gus ever asks. Harley then goes inside and says goodbye to her boys. She tries to reassure them that she'll call and write and tells them that it will be okay. Harley then leaves after she hugs her boys one last time.

As Harley is leaving Company, she comes across Josh, Reva, and also Cassie. After Harley bids everyone a tearful goodbye, Reva and Cassie talk about Reva's news and Cassie's separation. Reva tells Cassie that she's sorry to hear she's not having a baby either. When Reva asks what Cassie's going to do about her and Edmund, Cassie isn't sure. Later, as Josh and Rick are trying to comfort Zach and Jude, Cassie comes and tries to comfort them by telling them that a mommy's love is the strongest, best thing in the whole world. She then tells them that a mommy never gives up on her babies, and she never really leaves.

Cassie returns to the farm to give Edmund the separation papers. When Edmund tries to talk to her, she tells him that she doesn't want to hear it. Angry, Cassie tells Edmund that she might be able to walk away from him, but not their child. Edmund tries to convince Cassie that this baby will bring them back together. Cassie's not convinced and demands details about the surrogate. When she asks about details about this woman she doesn't even know, Dinah enters and tells her she does know her--it's her.

At the courthouse, Alan shocks Harley by giving a statement to the court on her behalf. He stales that he's speaking for his son and he's son would want Harley to have the most lenient sentence as possible. Alan goes on the explain that he's doing this to keep his grandson, Zach, from losing his mother since that would be punishing the boy. After Jeffrey tells the judge that the DA's office is recommending the lightest sentence possible, Harley makes her own statement. She tells the court that she wishes she could go back in time and change things so none of this would have ever happened. She then takes full responsibility for what happened to Phillip and asks forgiveness. Unfortunately, the judge isn't moved because Harley has yet to ever admit to actually killing Phillip. The judge feels that Harley's apology is too little, too late and sentences her to 25 years in prison; with a possibility of parole in 15 years. As court adjourns, Harley tries to ask Alan why he made his statement but she's interrupted with Gus (who's been retrained from going inside by Frank) suddenly bursts in. As Harley is being led away, Gus, restrained by Frank and police officers, keeps yelling that he will keep working on her appeal.
