In San Cristobel:

Noah and Reva are getting their stuff together to get ready to leave when Richard and Cassie come in to say goodbye. Richard tells them that he and Cassie will be home (to Springfield) very soon. He tells them (sarcastically) that Ed was 'kind enough' to have all their bags packed and sent over to them at the hotel. Cassie says it is a little cramped but cozy and a lot nicer than having to stay at the palace. Richard and Cassie tell Reva and Noah that they will be leaving San Cristobel as soon as the election is over and they will start their normal life. Richard thanks them again for all their help. They leave Noah and Reva to finish packing. Noah calls to check on flight arrangements. He tells Reva that their flight has been delayed and they will be stuck in San Cristobel a little longer. Reva is disappointed. Just then Phillip and the kids comes in to surprise them. Reva is glad to see Phillip and asks her how she is doing. She tells him she will be going home today if the flights will pan out and she will be a lot better then. She asks why he is there and he tells her that the kids missed their mother and he brought them to see her. Reva takes Phil aside and tells him he should get Beth out of the country ASAP. He tells her that is exactly what he had in mind. She goes in to tell Phil how Ed has totally snowed Beth. She informs him how Beth had to be physically pushed out of the way by Cassie when she went to tell her side to the royal council. She has taken on the job as Edmund's personal pit bull. Phil can't believe it and wonders what Ed is doing to Beth. He tells her that ever since Jim's funeral, he has been preying on Beth's vulnerabilities. He tells her what she needs to hear and she believes it all and now she is under Ed's spell. Lizzie walks over and Reva hugs her and asks her how she had been and about her little brother. Phil lets Reva hold the baby, and she is surprised with how big he has gotten. Noah comes over and tells Reva their flight has now been rescheduled. Phil says they can take the Spaulding jet and limo instead, since they both have to head back home anyway. Reva thanks Phil and the kids for the everything, especially the visit. They leave. Reva and Noah are getting ready to leave the hospital. He asks if she is okay. She tells him she is just afraid of going home blind and not being able to see the kids. Noah says her kids will understand but Reva is still worried. She doesn't want them to be angry with her because she went off and did another stupid thing. Noah says everything will work out. Reva says Marah promised to take care of her and Reva doesn't want her to feel tied down with her. She feels like she keeps hurting the people she loves most. He tells her she didn't hurt him. Reva tells him that she did when she made him come to her rescue when she was ready to kill Ed. Reva thinks she asks too much of him and other people and it squeezes the life out of them. Noah says he and her kids are tough. She doesn't need to worry about them. He kisses her and tells her it is time to go home. Reva takes his arm as they leave the hospital.

At the Palace:

Beth is talking to Ed about everything she wants to do with her kids. He tells her she sounds nervous. She tells him she isn't. He tells her he hopes that his feelings for her haven't been a burden to her. He doesn't want to put pressure on her. She says she is just excited about seeing the kids, not nervous about their relationship. Ed wonders where Phil fits in to her nervousness but Beth says he doesn't. Beth thinks Phil will entertain himself and he will also be busy with business projects. Beth says she doesn't think Phil's agenda is to interfere with them. Ed says he wouldn't let him anyway, so everyone should be happy. The kids come in with Phil and Beth hugs them and kisses them. They talk briefly and Ed leaves to give them their space. Beth tells Phil she wants to take Lizzie for a walk. He takes Jim and says they will hang out there. After the girls leave, Phil tells James they will get Beth out of there and be back home. Ed comes in and tells him that Beth is there by her own free will. He offers Phil a drink and they toast family reunions. Phil tells Ed he wants to ask him a question. He tells him he knows Ed likes the kids, but wonders if that is true she doesn't understand why he would keep her away from her children for so long. Ed says Beth was there because she wants to be. Phil says he is not there to rescue her. Ed says he poses no threat to Beth but maybe to Phil's ego. Phil says he can give Beth two things that Ed will never be able to; stability and history. Phil thinks Ed is in for a rough political time and he won't be able to care for himself much less Beth. Phil tells him that he is her first love as well as the father to her children and now he is single and if he has to he will sacrifice himself to get Beth away from Ed. Phil says that Ed should stop deluding himself that Beth will be his dream princess because he doesn't have a chance in hell.

Reva asks Noah if he heard a car door. He says no, she tells him that she will keep practicing showing off some more. She finds the creak in the floor and walks over to the couch for her seat and flops right onto Noah's lap. She tells him he is in her seat but she kind of likes it. He tells her it is fine for him as well. Reva thinks the kids will relax if they see she can take care of herself by knowing her way around. She kisses Noah and tells him she will be okay.

She wonders if it has anything to do with her trying to get out of testifying against Danny. Michelle says May is too suspicious, she and Danny are in love and that is why they are getting married. May tells Michelle that she is on their side, she is there friend. Michelle laughs at that thought and tells her that if Danny testifies against his family, he may be killed or have to leave all their loved ones and go into witness protection. The other alternative is to be harassed by the Feds and go to jail. May says the only way out is to cooperate. Rick asks "Cooperate with what?" May lies and tries to dodge the question. Michelle tells Rick she will tell him what is going on. May tries to stop her but she disregards her. Michelle says there is no May, only Mary Murdo. May reluctantly shows her FBI badge and ID. He takes everything in. May is upset at Michelle and tells her that telling more people will not help.

May tells Rick that Danny doesn't have to be hurt by any of this. Rick asks May if she is the girl he dated or did she ever exist. She tells him she was the girl he went out with. He asks if she slept with Danny because she cared about him or was that part of the game. He tells her it was her job. Rick wonders if she was playing with him as well. May says just because she was doing a job, doesn't mean she didn't have feelings too. Rick says their relationship was doomed because he didn't have any info she could use about the mob families.

He says yeah, or better yet maybe not at all.

He goes on to say that Edmund has no idea what is in store for him if he has to reign as sovereign of San Cristobel. He is sure Edmund has no idea of the complexities of the job he desires so much. Phillip tells him he has some more news for them. He goes on to describe what he had overheard at the palace. Edmund was instructing two aides to rig the voting by stuffing the ballot box with votes from deceased voters as well as give broken tally machines to the sections that are against him. Cassie is worried and wonders what they can do now. Richard tells them that maybe they shouldn't worry about stopping him. Richard suggests they let Edmund corrupt the election and end it by exposing the corruption and seeing how he handles that. Richard is sure tampering with the election will be the final nail in Edmund's coffin. Phillip wonders how to proceed. Richard tells him they have to let someone in charge know what is going on. He suggests Phillip contact Dax and Lord Chancellor himself, since it would seem self-serving if he or Cassie did it. He instructs Phillip to tell them everything he heard and what they had spoken about without mentioning Richard. Richard gives Phillip the phone numbers for Dax and Lord Chancellor and tells him to call them and arrange a meeting, assuring him that both men are indubitably honest. Cassie and Richard go to make themselves scarce. Phillip calls the numbers thinking to himself that Edmund's days are finally numbered.

Dax arrives at the restaurant and asks Phillip what this meeting is about. Lord Chancellor shows up before he can respond to Dax and assures Phillip he has nothing to worry about, if he is concerned about his business ventures there. Phillip tells them he is concerned about the fairness of the election. He tells them how he overheard Edmund plotting to tamper with the election. Philliip says he heard Edmund making specific plans and goes on to list them. Dax wonders what Phillip's angle is since he is a friend of Richard and Cassie's and his ex-wife is involved with Edmund. Philliip says he heard what he heard and now he has came to the proper authorities to report it. The Lord Chancellor wants to question Edmund's aides and see what they know. Philliip says that may not be the best way and offers them another solution. He thinks they should allow Edmund to do whatever he is going to do. They should conduct the election and watch Edmund's every move closely and catch him with his hand in the cookie jar. Then there will be no way Edmund can dispute it. They agree. Lord Chancellor tells Philliip that election tampering is a serious offense and will be dealt with swiftly.

Something is shutting him down and she thinks it has to do with his family. Reva comes back into the room with the juice. She tells Marah to go to school. She leaves. Catalina asks Reva what she needs her to do. She tells her she would clean the house but it is already very neat.

Tony asked him why he would do that and Danny tells him he wants to tell him. Danny tells him that in telling him, he trusts him more than he ever has but he does trust him so he wants to share with him. Tony tells him not to tell him anything major and starts for the door. He turns and tells Danny if he and Michelle are planning what he thinks they are planning to do it fast. Tony runs out and leaves a surprised Danny standing there.

At the Bauer House:

Danny comes in his office and calls Abuela on her "secret" line. He wants to know if there is a hit ordered on him but she denies it. She wonders why he is asking.

He thanks her and tells her he will talk to her later. Danny hangs up and tells Michelle the wedding crashers must have been feds. She thinks they should check with Mary.

He tells her he loves her and doesn't understand if she wants things to be the same, but they aren't. She tells him again that she can't. She wants him to help her through her blindness and all but she doesn't want it to become the basis of their relationship. She tells him that she has been through a lot and in the past it has been her practice to drag the people around her down with her. The point is her life is one crisis after another and that is why Josh left her and she is sick of it and she doesn't want their relationship to be that way.
