"Marian was quite excited about attending the Queen's garden party. She was trying on gowns and asked Stuart for advice on which shoes she should wear. Scott walked in and said that he is not attending the garden party because he needs to finish up the documentary. Marian feared that Adam cancelled the whole trip to the garden party and that she would no longer be able to attend. Stuart noticed that Marian was quite upset so while she had her back turned , he quietly slipped out of the house. Marian then went to the hospital to see Liza. Liza informed Marian she would not be attending the party because Colby has an ear infection. Marian was again very upset because now her chances to attend the party seemed ever slimmer. Her day got even worse when she noticed that her shoes were not matching. Marian scurried home before anyone notices her non-matching shoes. Stuart returned home and told Marian some good news: He got new invitations for the garden party from Adam and they are leaving in the afternoon. Marian is very excited and thanks Stuart for being a wonderful husband.
Ryan goes to talk to Mateo at SOS. In the backroom, Mateo mistakenly assumed that Ryan was one of the other workers and asked him to help with a liquor order. Mateo looked up and was not at all pleased to see Ryan standing before him. Ryan again insisted that he was not and is not having an affair with Hayley and noted that Mateo was lucky to have a girl like Hayley. Mateo coldly informs Ryan that he doesn't believe any of what he says---and he also doesn't believe Hayley. Mateo icily stated that Hayley no longer means anything to him. The implication was that Ryan could have her because he was through with her. Mateo told Ryan that he knew that Hayley slept over at his place. Ryan closed his eyes and clarified that Hayley had slept on the sofa. Mateo crudely remarked that Hayley "likes it" on the sofa and then advised Ryan to next time try making love on the floor. Ryan sadly walked out of SOS and felt like a failure for failing to get Mateo to listen to him.
