"Aidan hesitantly walked to Kendall's door, only to find out from the maid that she's already left for work. She told him he could leave a note, but he said he has something larger to leave, as he picked up a bouquet of flowers.
Kendall walked into the bar at the Valley Inn, and ran into the manager. She asked him if he'd seen Aidan, and he responded that he hadn't and he'll be out of a job in ten minutes if he doesn't show up. She asked to leave him a note, and the manager loaned her a pen. As she scribbled a note on a napkin, she didn't like what she wrote so she crumpled it into a ball and threw it behind the bar, right at the bartender, Aidan. He said, "Hey", and they smiled at each other. Aidan picked up her note and unrolled it, much to Kendall's annoyance. It was a phone number, and he got Kendall to admit that she was leaving her number for him. At first, she acted like she didn't really care if he called her or not, but he responded, "I was hoping you would care." She changed her tune and said that she does care, but she wouldn't mind if he didn't. He then asked her if she'd care if he asked her out, tonight. She told him she had to work late, and he said he did too. When she ran out of excuses, Kendall accepted. She gave him her phone number and told him to call her and let her know when he was picking her up, and she walked away.
Maria showed up at the tack room in Edmund's stable, where he was just finishing up a ride. She felt nervous, remembering him tell her that he rides when he's upset, and she thought she might have done something wrong. He told her that he was actually celebrating, because he feels that they accomplished a lot yesterday. She thanked him for taking their relationship at her pace, and he responded that all she has to do is ask, and he'll give. She replied, "Well, I'm askin'". He suggested picking up where they left off, and they began kissing. Sammy and Maddie walked in, happy to see their parents kissing. Maddie asked if this means that Mommy's moving back home. Edmund and Maria assured the kids that they are still getting to know each other, and this is all part of getting her memory back. Edmund changed the subject and asked about a birthday party Maddie is going to. Sam also said that he was going to a friend's house. They asked if their mommy could take them. Maria suggested that they both take them. The four of them left the stables, holding hands.
Anna was sleeping in her bed, while David stood at the window watching. When she woke up, he told her that he couldn't help himself, he just had to watch. He told her that he can't make this anymore harder on her, and he wished her good luck. Anna, realizing what David was saying, yelled to him to wait before he could open the door. David thought she was going to say that she regretted what they did the night before, but she told him she didn't do anything she didn't want to do. When he realized that she wanted him there, he agreed to stay. David offered to order lunch, while she called the station to take a day off. She told him she didn't have to, because she resigned. This shocked David, and he told her to call Jackson or the Commissioner and take back her resignation. He told her that if she's doing it for him, he isn't worth it. She said that wasn't the only reason. Her heart wasn't in it whenever he broke laws. She said she would never be able to pursue the man she loved. She admitted that Greenlee played a part in changing her mind by reminding her how Leo always put his family first. She said she was just putting the father of her child ahead of her job. David understood, and asked her if she wanted to be a family again. She told him to take things one thing at a time. They kissed, and Anna left to take a shower. While he was calling room service, there was a knock on the door. He opened it to see Jackson standing there, holding an envelope, with an angry look on his face. Anna came out, and Jackson accused David of having something to do with Anna's resignation. They both denied it, and Anna invited him in to discuss it. He told her it was a mistake to throw away her life's work because of David. David told Jackson that he actually agreed with him. Anna told him to stay out of it, and David decided to leave. He told them that he'll be down in the bar, with Anna's lunch, when she's ready. He wished Jackson good luck as he walked out the door. Jackson asked her if she had lost her mind, and she responded, "Yeah, I have." Jackson told her that it's not his place to tell her how rotten David us. All he wants to do is give her her badge back. She told him that she has to resign, and he suggests a compromise. He asked her to take a short leave of absence to think it over. When it's done, if she still wants to resign, he'll accept it. She agreed to think it over and let him know in a few days. He left her the envelope with her badge in it, as he walked out the door.
Aidan watched as Maria and Edmund arrived at the bar. They were making small talk about their children when Edmund got a call on his cell. He took it out in the lobby as Maria walked up to the bar and saw Aidan. He told her he worked their part-time, and she offered to leave if this made him uncomfortable. He said he had no problem watching her with Edmund, and would only be upset if he lost her as a friend. She assured him that that wasn't going to happen, as she patted his hand on the bar. Kendall returned, and stopped in the doorway as she saw Maria holding hands with Aidan. She continued listening as Aidan told her he saw her in the park last night. Maria remembered that she had plans with Aidan, and she apologized for blowing her off. Aidan told her that it was okay. She did the right thing in going after Edmund when he took out David. She touched his face as she told him that he's a better friend then she deserved. She walked away, and Kendall stalked up to the bar. She asked him for the napkin with her number on it, and he willingly gave it to her. She ripped it up and threw it in his face, telling him that she was no one's consolation prize.
Edmund joined Maria at their table, and she confessed that she stood Aidan up last night. He smirked and said, "I feel sorry for him". They began talking about her memory loss, and Maria told him that she never realized how important memory was until she lost it. She said it defines who you are. Edmund responded by saying that she's a strong, beautiful woman who'll make her own memories someday. As he caressed her face, she flashbacked to her memory of David doing the same thing to her. She pushed his hand away, and Edmund asked, "What's wrong? Was it a memory?"
Aidan followed Kendall out to the lobby, asking her what was going on. She said that she didn't appreciate being his second choice when his date with Maria didn't fly. He told her that she's no one's second choice. When she kept yelling at him, he told her that last night was about the two of them, and if she keeps on talking she'll ruin it. She said, "Ruin what? All we had was a one-night stand." He said that it was more then that. They had planned on going out later. She said that was before she heard what Maria told him. He told her that he doesn't go after a woman simply because another rejected him. She said that it was too late, and asked him to leave her alone. She turned to run off, but ran into a waiter instead who spilled drinks on her. Flustered, Kendall ran up the stairs, leaving Aidan in the lobby.
Maria told Edmund that she just had a headache, but he didn't believe it. He asked her why she's afraid of sharing her memories with him. She told him that it wasn't a memory. Edmund ordered a glass of water for her, as David walked in the bar. He saw Maria with her head down and approached their table. He said, "Maureen? What's wrong?" Edmund told him that he had a lot of nerve, and he stood up, telling David that he wasn't going to let him treat her again. They began arguing back and forth about what David did, while Maria sat in her chair, remembering the kiss and hug she once shared with David. Finally, she got up and told them both to stop, and she ran out of the bar. Edmund followed her, but Aidan arrived to stop David. He told him to stay away from her. David told him that it was none of his business. He told him to stay away from Maureen, and then asked him if Anna knows he's down here chasing women. He told him that he's worried about what he's going to do to Anna and her baby if he wiggles his way back into their life. Aidan left him as he went back behind the bar. David walked over to a table, and remembered his night of lovemaking with Anna from the night before.
Anna walked over to her badge and picked it up as she remembered Jackson's parting words: "This isn't just about your life. It's about your baby's too." With her badge in hand, Anna walked out.
Aidan was going through the motions, tending bar, when he remembered Kendall's words, "You're just like every other guy." He said to himself that she was wrong; he's not like every other guy. Aidan left the bar and ran up the stairs in the direction Kendall went.
Kendall entered her room, still irate at Aidan. She began throwing her clothes around the room, and screaming about Aidan, until she saw the flowers he left her. She read the card from Aidan, telling her what a special person she is. Still irate, Kendall picked up the glass vase and threw it against the wall.
David was sitting in the bar, with Anna's lunch getting cold in front of him. Just as he thought she wasn't going to show, Anna walked in. She walked over to him, and they sat down together. He began talking about starting over, and a new beginning, but Anna stopped him. She told him that there is something they need to get straight. "Is there anything from your past that will hurt me or the baby?" she asked. David seemed surprised by the questions, but Anna persisted. He grabbed her hand and said, "No. Nothing. There's nothing else you need to know."
Maria climbed behind the wheel of her car, distraught. She had another flashback to David burying something on the beach, and she asked herself what he could be burying. She said, "I'm going to find out if I have to go there myself." Edmund climbed in the passenger seat, and she asked him to leave. He told her that the memory flashback had to deal with David, but she continued to deny it. She told him she had to do something, but he responded that anything she had to do, she'll do with him. Maria reluctantly said, "Okay," as she started the car."
