"Frank pays Mia a visit. He angrily tells her the adoption should never have happened. Mia begs Frank to leave William alone so he can be happy. She is worried that Frank will destroy William's life. Frank is furious that Mia made the decision to give away their child without consulting him. Mia won't apologize. She feels that she did the right thing. Frank tells her he has to know more about his son and see how he is. Mia says no. According to her lawyers, Frank's rights aren't as clear cut as he may think. This makes Frank wonder how many other people know he has a son. Mia admits she's told Adam, Liza, and Jake.
After Frank leaves, Jake appears with a dozen red roses in hand. When he sees Mia, Jake instantly senses something is wrong. Mia tells him about her encounter with Frank. Jake is sure Frank won't do anything stupid. Then, Jake changes the subject and talks about making Liza pay for what she's done to Mia. Though Mia feels it was probably an accident, Jake calls it attempted murder. Mia wonders if Jake is still angry with Liza about losing Colby.
Liza asks Stuart if he will ever be able to look at her the same way again. She is worried that every time Stuart sees her, he will remember what she did to Mia. Stuart counsels Liza that she has to forgive herself. Forgiveness is up to her. What happened to Mia was an accident. He tells Liza she has to accept this in order for Colby to have a happy mother.
Stuart leaves, and Liza gets another visitor. Frank. His only words to her are: You knew all about this, didn't you. Liza is confused until Frank repeats his question and adds, you knew all about my son. He asks Liza why she helped Mia with the cover up. Didn't Liza think he had a right to make a decision about his own child? Liza explains that they have to respect Mia's decision. Frank doesn't understand. He calls Mia a coward. Liza angrily defends her sister saying that Mia did the best she could at the time. Mia wanted William to have the best start in life possible and it is a painful decision to give up your child. Liza tries to comfort Frank by telling him that being Jesse's son, someday he'll make a great father. Frank replies, "I already AM a father!"
Maria tends to Aidan who refuses to see a doctor. She is worried about leaving him alone, but she needs to go to Hayley and Mateo's going away party. Otherwise, someone will come looking for her. Aidan tells Maria to go. He'll be fine. As soon as Maria is out the door, Aidan picks up the phone and asks when is the next bus to Montreal. He then begins to dress and pack his things. Before he can finish, there is a knock at the door and Edmund calls out, "Maria, are you there?"
At SOS, Hayley frets about taking Mateo away from his family. Adam takes Hayley aside and tells her she has no reason to feel bad. Her only crime is being a success. Adam points out that Mateo seems supportive of her career and she has a smart, healthy baby. To him, her future looks perfect. However, as Hayley watches Mateo saying goodbye to his mother and sister, she decides to call off their move to LA.
Meanwhile, as Mateo and Maria promise not to lose touch, Isabella bustles over and reminds Maria that she is supposed to be going to a pageant with the children. Edmund is coming to the motel to pick her up. Maria rushes out. She races to the motel and finds Edmund knocking at her door. When Maria asks for time to get ready, Edmund says no to rush. The Christmas pageant has been called off because the wise men got chicken pox. Instead, Edmund suggests they have dinner then go shopping. As Ed moves to open her door, Maria exclaims, "I can explain!!" "Explain what?" Edmund asks looking around her empty room. Seeing Aidan has disappeared, Maria says she needs to explain that her room is messy and she hasn't had time to clean it up yet. Maria then asks Edmund to leave her alone for awhile so she can shower. She promises to meet up with him later. As soon as Edmund leaves, Maria runs out to her car and starts the engine. She is startled when a hand clamps over her mouth.
At SOS, Isabella asks to speak to Hayley in private. Hayley tells her not to worry, the move is off. Nonsense, says Isabella. She explains to Hayley that Hayley is not taking Mateo away, she is taking him home. Hayley looks confused until Isabella explains that anywhere Hayley is, that is Mateo's home. Isabella tells a story about how Mateo always seemed to be searching for something. He found that something in Hayley. As Hayley gets teary eyed, Isabella presents her with a heart necklace. Isabella explains that it is a mother daughter necklace. The heart is open so love can flow in and out.
Mateo, Hayley, and Lorenzo prepare to leave. The show ends with a music montage showing Mateo and Hayley's relationship over the years."
