"Rosa's principal called Mateo and informed him that Rosa had cut school again. Mateo rushed over to his mother's house to confront Rosa about her truancy. Mateo, acting like the wiser old brother, told Rosa that there is a time and a place to cut school, but that cutting school can only be done on special occasions. He related a story of cutting school with Tanner to pick up Bruce Springsteen tickets to his sister. Rosa explained that she is having troubles in all of her classes. Mateo was surprised because Rosa had also aced her school work. Rosa said that the problems began when her father died and having Julia leave town didn't help either. Isabella returned home and asked what her two children were doing. Mateo covered for Rosa, but privately warned her that her school skipping stunts must stop.
Mateo returned to Holidays and learned that Hayley had offered Tanner a job as bartender. What neither Hayley nor Mateo knew was that Tanner weaseled his way into the job with less that honest methods. Hank, Holidays' regular barkeep, called out sick. Fortunately for Hayley, Tanner seemed to know how to mix drinks. Tanner said that his father was a "closet" bartender and that he taught him everything he knew about making mixed drinks. Mateo liked the idea of having his best buddy join the work team and gave his thumbs up to putting Tanner on the payroll. Matt and Hayley dashed off to tend to the customers. Tanner picked up the phone and called Hank, thanking him for going along with his plan. Under the terms of the clandestine pact, Tanner would fork over all of his tips to Hank and Hank would disavow any knowledge of Tanner or any plan to get Tanner a job at Holidays.
Dimitri searched Wildwind for Erica, but housekeeper Moira informed him that Miss Kane had gone to Seattle. Dimitri ordered Moira to have his private jet prepared for take-off and was surprised when he learned that Erica had taken the private jet to Seattle. A frantic Dimitri called the airport and arranged for a seat on the next flight to Seattle. He then called Maria at the hospital and begged her to hold off on telling Edmund of their affair until after he could track Erica down. Maria, who pretended that her phone call was from a fellow physician, told Dimitri that she "already had that consultation" and that news was not taken very well. She abruptly hung up the phone and returned to her conversation with Edmund.
Maria professed her love for Edmund and begged for him not to make her have to repeat her stunning revelation. She insisted that her sleeping with Dimitri was a momentary lapse of judgment and that it was not premeditated. They "reached out in desperation," Maria explained. Maria recounted her feelings on the night that Edmund took Sam from her. On several occasions she referred to Sam as "her" baby and was quickly corrected by Edmund that Sam was "their" child. She continued on and said that Dimitri found Erica in bed with Jonathan Kinder and that things "happened." Edmund moved in closer to Maria and looked her in the eyes. He asked her if Dimitri's "comfort" helped her. Maria shook her head. She backed away from Edmund before explaining that her affair with Dimitri only made everything worse. Edmund asked if "falling into bed with Dimitri" was the only thing that could have comforted her and implied that she had her sights set on Dimitri for months. He said that the only reason Maria regrets her decision to sleep with Dimitri is because the reality of having sex with him did not live up to her fantasy. Maria denied that she had a secret longing for Dimitri, but Edmund did not believe her. He called her "heartless" for telling him of her affair, an affair that she had gotten away with. An additional slap in the face came when Edmund told Maria that people for generations to come will ask "Where was I the night Maria Santos-Grey bedded her brother-in-law?" Again, he demanded to know why Maria had told him of her affair. He said that she had gotten away with it and that no one ever would have found out. Maria nodded and told Edmund that this was a secret that she and Dimitri swore to take to their graves. Edmund again looked her in the eyes and told that that she "didn't die soon enough."
