"Halfway through driving Laura home, Scott decided to pull his car to the side of the road and strike up a conversation. Laura asked Scott if he knew what made them become "more than friends." After a few minutes of thought, Scott answered "chemistry," but later recanted his answer and said that he has no idea why he and Laura moved their relationship to another level. Scott leaned over and kissed Laura. It didn't take long before the two began making out. A concerned police officer knocked on the driver's side window and told Scott that the roads were icy and that they should be on their way home. Laura felt "mortified" by the encounter and said that they had better get going. Scott reminded Laura of the night they spent together in his Uncle Adam's ballroom. He told Laura that he wants to spend uninterrupted time with her again.
Dimitri's flight had been indefinitely postponed because of technical problems with the plane. He spent his waiting time at Holidays. While his body might have been parked on a sofa at the club, his mind was definitely elsewhere. He phoned Wildwind to see if Edmund and Maria had returned home, but he was told that neither Edmund or Maria had reported back to Wildwind. Myrtle, Brad, and Michael stopped by for a drink and seeing Dimitri alone, Myrtle approached and tried to make conversation. Dimitri was uncharacteristically short with Myrt and pretty much gave her a brush off. He headed over to the bar and struck up a conversation with Mateo.
Michael told Brad that he wants to move in with him, but expressed an obligation to Myrtle that is preventing him from moving out of the boarding house. Mike explained that Myrt is having a cash flow crunch because the boarding house is only half occupied. He said that when the time is right, he'll move out of Myrtle's place and in with Brad. The conversation took place away from the ears of Mrs. Fargate, but Myrt must have known that something was up. After telling the couple that she has been spending a lot of her time giving the gift of miracles, she told Michael that she knows that time will come when he'll be moving out and that she wants him to be happy.
Skye hid behind a menu so that Andy would not see her. When she tried to get rid of him, he told her that with a few taps of the keyboard he can correct the flawed paternity test results and make sure that the truth is revealed. Fortunately for Skye Jake walked into Holidays and gave her a shot at dumping Andy. She told Andy that Jake was her boyfriend---a very jealous and easily angered boyfriend. She raced over to Jake and asked if he would help her "get rid of leech." Jake willingly accepted the offer and played the part of a jealous lover. Andy wasn't convinced by Jake's act and when he spotted Dimitri across the room, he told Skye that he would pass along her regards to "a friend." Skye panicked and pulled Andy aside for a one-on-one chat. She said that she would meet up with Andy later. Andy begged Skye for a night of passion and said that having an affair with him might allow her to safely dump Jake. Skye said that she would be in touch.

Tanner escorted a sleepy Hayley back to her apartment. Tanner offer Hayley a mug of a sleeping potion he had shipped together. Hayley took a whiff of the concoction and turned him down. Tanner's potion consisted of a mystery blend of alcohol. Tanner insisted that Hayley take a swig of the drink even after she told him that she was an alcoholic. Hayley insisted that she was not making up a story about being an alcoholic. Tanner backed down and apologized for not knowing of Hayley's illness. Mateo phoned home and told Tanner that he need not return to Holidays because he had everything under control. Hayley and Tanner sat down to chat until Mateo came home. Hayley mentioned that she is taking on new challenges in her life to offer more fulfillment. Again the phone rang, but this time the call was for Tanner. Tanner took the call in private and told the caller that he cannot be contacted any more because "plans have changed." Hayley fell asleep on the sofa and Tanner hovered over her ogling her body up and down. AS Tanner leaned over her body, the sound of Mateo's keys sounded from the other side of the door. Tanner quickly composed himself and put a blanket over Hayley. Mateo carried Hayley off to bed and thanked Tanner for keeping an eye on his fiancée. Tanner smiled and said that it was not a problem. The more Maria insisted that her affair with Dimitri was not planned, the less Edmund seemed to believe her story. Edmund shook his head and demanded to know why Maria had to tell him about the affair. He said that she should have told a priest--anyone but him. Then he stopped speaking. The pieces of the puzzle finally came together. Knowing that Edmund had figured out why she was telling him of her infidelity, Maria began sobbing. Maria repeated said that she was "sorry." She said that she knew the baby was Edmund's, but that the tests showed otherwise. Edmund was stunned that Dimitri knew the father of the baby before he did. Maria explained that she had to tell Dimitri because of a genetic disorder that they both carried. As Maria continued to cry, Edmund mocked his wife by asking where her "comfort" was now. He asked Maria if she would have told him of her affair if it were not for the genetic disorder. She didn't offer a definitive answer, only saying that she could not live with the secret. Edmund warned Maria that their lives will never be the same. Maria said that they should take some time to get their lives back together. Edmund blinked his eyes a few times and told her that there is no way that they can get back together after this bombshell.
Dimitri called Seattle to tell Erica that he would not be flying in as he has planned. Travis took the call because Erica and Bianca had stepped out for a bite to eat. Travis congratulated Dimitri on the news of Erica's pregnancy, but Dimitri wasn't celebrating anything. Maria returned home and told Dimitri that she had told Edmund everything.
Edmund sat in his Tempo office, his head in his hands. His mind cast back to several odd moments over the past few months when he walked in on conversations that abruptly stopped when he came into the room. He felt like a fool for not knowing that something was going on. He caught sight of a family portrait across the room. He rose from his chair and walked to the picture. He looked at it for only a second before hurling it across the room. The glass frame shattered and rained down on the floor. Skye walked in to the office and asked Edmund if the stress of meeting his publishing deadline had gotten to him. Edmund was pleased to see Skye and said that he was glad she was there. "There's no place I'd rather be," Skye smiled. She approached Edmund and told him that she's there for him."
