Anna throws his words right back at him as far as his relationship with a certain cosmetics queen. Anna gets in a few more barbs before she realizes she has crossed the line. She apologizes, but surprisingly Jack agrees. He forgives her and they shake hands. Jack believes that if they could put their differences aside, they would make a good team. When Anna leaves, he says to himself that it is time to get on with his life.

At the Valley Inn, Greenlee has dinner with her parents. They are arguing over wedding details when Greenlee gets a phone call. Leo, disguising his voice, tells her she has important business she has to take care of right away. She excuses herself. Leo is waiting outside, sweeps Greenlee off her feet, and whisks her away.

They end up at the boathouse where Leo asks Greenlee to lighten up about the wedding. She has to accept that it is not going to be perfect. They go over the changes they want to make to their vows, then Leo playfully picks her up and jumps into the water. As they frolic in the lake, a stranger watches from the dock. Anna appears and thanks the person for keeping an eye on Leo. She asks him to be discreet, but keep Leo protected.

Simone looks for her father at the hospital. She excitedly tells Jake about their plans to celebrate the Fourth in Philadelphia. Jake sadly informs her that her father is attending a conference in Boston. Simone tries not to show how crushed she really is. She goes home and cries as she leaves her father a message asking if she can visit him in Boston. Feeling lost and alone, Simone resorts to calling Roger. He immediately comes over to offer solace.

Meanwhile, Mary is left alone at the Valley Inn dining room. She is ready to order another drink when she catches a glimpse of someone she used to know in the doorway. Mary drops her glass as she realizes it is Jackson Montgomery. Apparently, at one time they had a relationship. Jack comes over and tells her she hasn't changed a bit. She's still the same calculating, icy Mary she's always been. They make small talk until it is time for Jack's press conference. Mary is impressed when she hears that Jack could possibly be the next governor.

Jack makes a very moving, patriotic speech as Anna watches from the background, enthralled with the man and his words.

Before they leave for Colby's dance recital, Adam introduces Trey to Liza. When Liza gives a lukewarm response, Adam suggests that Liza is upset because the last time Trey was at the mansion, it was to have Liza declared incompetent. Adam announces to Liza that he wants to appoint Trey to the Board of Chandler Enterprises.

When Adam leaves to get Colby ready, Liza turns to Trey and asks how he expects to work for Adam when he already works for her. Trey tells her he really had no choice. Adam would be suspicious if he turned him down. An angry Liza tells Trey he is fired. When Liza says she will get another lawyer, Trey reminds her that now, one more person will be privy to her secret and one more opportunity for Adam to find out about her creative financing. Trey cites his concern for Mia and assures Liza that if she gives him the account books, in one week he can have Mia and her son set for life. Liza thinks about it, then hands him the books. Adam returns with Colby. Liza takes her out and Trey hands over the account books to Adam."
