"Bianca diligently wades through paperwork at Enchantment then picks up a cruise brochure. She stares at the picture on the cover then picks up the phone and makes a reservation for the Ladies Only Cruise. Boyd comes in to ask Bianca if she knows anything at all about how Kendall is doing with Fusion. Bianca sees through the question and realizes that Boyd has a "thing" for Kendall. Boyd admits he is in love with her. Bianca is amused that Boyd can fall in love so easily. She points out that he hardly knows Kendall. Boyd explains that he got to know her when she worked at Enchantment. He claims Kendall has real talent. He has only met one other person like her...Erica. Boyd goes on and on about Kendall, her drive, her ambition, her vulnerability. He can't stop thinking of her.
Bianca tells Boyd she's sorry she can't give him any advice. She doesn't know Kendall well enough. What is it she really wants, Boyd wonders. Bianca supposes Kendall wants what everyone else wants: to find her place in the world and find happiness. Bianca believes Kendall came close to that with Ryan. With Ryan, Kendall could see herself through his eyes and almost believed she could become the person he saw in her.
As Bianca and Boyd have their discussion, Lena eavesdrops outside the door. When Lena comes in, Boyd excuses himself. Lena tells Bianca she has found a discrepancy in the reports for the IRS. She needs the access codes for the confidential files. Bianca doesn't have them, but offers to call Val. When Val arrives, Bianca tells him what is needed. He refuses to give out the numbers. Lena says it's all right. She can wait until Erica returns. When Val leaves, Bianca and Lena talk a little about traveling in Europe. Lena comes on to Bianca a little and tells Bianca how beautiful she is.
Outside the Aspen Inn, Erica is asked by Maxie Berlin if Enchantment is unveiling any new products at the conference. When told no, Maxie goes on to gush about how well Kendall is doing. Erica is surprised to hear that Kendall is there. She is infuriated when Maxie lets on that Kendall mentioned her connection to Erica during questions from reporters.
At the cosmetics conference, Kendall manages to impress the cosmetics industry. Maxie Berlin, the buyer for Lacey's Department store, assures Kendall there will be shelf space for Fusion products. Kendall is thrilled at her coup, then as she scans the crowd, sees a man who, from the back, looks like Aidan. Kendall rushes over to him then is disappointed when he turns around and she realizes she made a mistake. Deflated, Kendall takes a seat at the bar where the bartender makes her a martini. A man comes over and takes a seat next to her. He introduces himself as Michael Kinsey. As they talk, Michael tells Kendall he is an importer of European luxury items. Kendall, in return, tells him about her job at Fusion. Michael receives a call on his cell phone and has to leave though he promises to return.
Instead, Erica turns up at Kendall's side. Immediately, a reporter approaches and wants to take a picture of the mother/daughter "team". When the reporter asks if there is any rivalry between them, Erica responds that Kendall is no competition to her. Kendall responds that she only hopes to one day match Erica's success. Erica shoos the reporter away, then turns on Kendall. She threatens Kendall to never mention either Erica or Enchantment to the reporters ever again. Erica does not want her own reputation to suffer when Kendall's latest venture fails. Kendall is hurt, but replies that she still admires Erica as her role model. In response, Erica calls Kendall a thief, sneak, and a taker.
Erica stalks out and Kendall is left alone with her martini until Michael appears again. He apologizes for taking so long, then asks Kendall if she would have dinner with him. Kendall says no, she's not there alone, she's with a ten year old. The bartender overhears and mentions that the Inn has nighttime snowboarding for kids. Kendall agrees to dinner when she finds out it will be her last chance to get to know Michael better. He informs her he is leaving for Singapore in the morning. After Kendall leaves Michael pays for their drinks with his credit card. The name on the card is NOT Michael Kinsey.
At dinner time, Kendall comes downstairs wearing a little, black sparkly number. Even Petey is impressed with her look. Michael comes in and hands Kendall a single red rose. He escorts her into the dining room where he orders their best wine. He tells Kendall that he hopes she doesn't mind, but he has already ordered for her. The chef is good friend of his and will be preparing them a special meal. During dinner, Michael impresses Kendall with tales of parasailing off the coast of some tropical island and his travels in Europe. When Kendall brings up her own humble beginnings, Michael assures her she deserves the best life has to offer.
Meanwhile, Erica returns to her room in a huff. As she walks in, she notices the bed is covered in rose petals. There are candles burning, wine is cooling, and Chris is waiting patiently for her. He says he didn't like the way they left things in Pine Valley. Erica throws her arms around his neck and all is forgiven between them. Erica then tells Chris about Kendall being there. She claims Kendall refuses to leave her alone. Chris tries to tell Erica that Kendall only wants Erica to notice her. Erica has no intention of having anything at all to do with Kendall. Erica and Chris decide to go to dinner until they see Kendall there with her date. Chris decides it would be better for them to order room service.
After Kendall and Michael's dinner, they dance and sample some of the Inn's special reserve Cognac. When it is time to say goodnight and goodbye, they kiss. Their special moment is interrupted by Petey coming in escorted by an Inn security guard. Somehow he managed to get into trouble. Kendall tells the officer she will be in in a moment. She turns around and Michael is gone. Kendall smiles telling herself it was perfect while it lasted."
