Erica and Ryan were stranded along a stretch of deserted road. Some flirtatious banter between Erica and Ryan nearly led to a kiss. However, Erica stopped Ryan before he could follow through with his intentions. Ryan admitted that he wondered how far Erica would have let things go.
Erica tried to call for roadside assistance, but her cell phone kept losing reception. They discovered that when they held the phone up high, they could get a brief signal. Desperate to get help, Erica climbed onto Ryan's shoulders to make a call. Unfortunately, the stunt was for naught. As Erica climbed down, she slipped. Ryan quickly determined that Erica had sprained her ankle.
Ryan offered to go for help, but Erica refused to be left behind. A short time later, the two found an empty cabin. Erica was delighted that they had found shelter for the night, but she was desperate for a bath. Ryan surprised Erica when he uncovered a tub propped up against the wall.
Ryan prepared Erica's bath, then hung some blankets, to offer Erica some privacy. Meanwhile, Erica talked about Kendall. She wanted Ryan to leave Kendall alone so that Kendall could focus on her marriage. Erica believed that Kendall and Zach shared a special kind of love that only came along once in a lifetime.
Ryan admitted that he didn't believe he had Kendall's heart. He had seen the way that Kendall and Zach looked at each other. However, Ryan insisted that he loved Kendall. He refused to promise Erica that he would stay away from Kendall.
Later, as Erica relaxed in the tub, she talked about how much alike she and Ryan were. Ryan sat in a chair, on the other side of the blankets, as he listened to Erica talk about her past relationships. Ryan was surprised that Erica felt as if she had never experienced a grand passion like Kendall and Zach's.
A loud screech from Erica had Ryan jumping to attention. Erica quickly wrapped herself up in blankets before she launched herself into Ryan's arms. He looked around the cabin trying to figure out what had frightened her. Erica explained that she had seen a bug, the size of a poodle, crawling around.
Zach pulled away from Kendall's kiss. Zach made it clear that he thought the kiss had been a mistake. Kendall suggested that perhaps she had been looking for something that wasn't there. They sat down to talk about their relationship. Zach suspected that Kendall wanted to have a relationship with Ryan and Zach. Kendall admitted that it would be impossible for her to have both men.
Zach was brutally honest with Kendall; he told her that he did not want her. Kendall wondered if they would be able to live together without hurting each other. Zach promised that he would not succumb to any more weak moments.
The police interrupted when they called Kendall to notify her that her mother's car had been found stranded on the roadside. Kendall became worried when she learned that Erica had not been located. Zach offered to drive Kendall to Erica's car, but Kendall declined. She gathered her things then left the house alone.
Kendall arrived at the scene of Erica's abandoned car. Kendall's concern grew when the police found one of Erica's shoes and evidence that a man had been with Erica. Kendall worried that Erica had been kidnapped.
The police began searching the area. They burst into a cabin, guns drawn, when they heard a woman scream. Kendall was close behind the police. Kendall's jaw dropped when she saw Erica, wrapped in blankets, in Ryan's arms.
David stopped by the Slater home to check on Ian. Zach was worried about possible complications. David suggested that they not worry about something that might not happen. Zach insisted that David tell him what the worst-case scenario was. David told Zach that Ian's heart valve repair could fail. If that happened, then Ian might need valve replacement surgery."
