"Louie broke into Noah's old apartment and shaved his face clean, giving him a completely new look for his "girl." Since he already knew where Julia and Noah moved to, he's been slinking around outside their door waiting to catch a glimpse of Julia. Later, Anita stopped by to drop off a note for Julia and Louie was there and offered to give it to her. The note was to invite Julia to a surprise engagement party Maria and Anita decided to throw at the Valley Inn. Scott and Laura had lunch at the Valley Inn, but Laura provided some words of wisdom for her friend to swallow. She said that Stuart might be as "overprotective" as he is because Scott is his only son and he has no one else in his life. Noah decided that it was finally time to get Hector's approval on his proposal to Julia. In a surprise to everyone, Hector said that anyone who could bring so much joy to his daughter's face is a welcome addition to the Santos family. Jack brought the adoption papers to Maria and Edmund for a glance over. After reading the terms, Edmund decided that it wasn't a good idea for them to go through with the adoption. With Kelsey living close to them, it would be awkward, he rationalized. She might want to stop by for visits or even ask for the baby back. Kelsey, meanwhile, was dealing with Tara. Tara told her daughter that she and her husband had separated and were getting a divorce. Kelsey took it personally, screaming that her mother wasn't comfortable with the relationship between Kelsey and her dad. With Belinda at her side, Kelsey returned to Wildwind to sign the adoption papers. Edmund turned his opinion around and agreed that signing the papers would be a good choice. Everyone signed the documents and Maria broke down in tears. "You won't regret this," she told Edmund and said that nothing would go wrong for them."
