"Mia is on the phone trying to drum up business for Fusion when she notices that Jake has prepared a nice, romantic breakfast for them complete with strawberries. Mia realizes she has been spending too much time at work and too little time with Jake. Jake picks that moment to ask her to run away. At least for a few days to a country inn where they can concentrate on each other. Mia is worried about her work responsibilities, but agrees to Jake's plan. As Jake goes to pack, Mia receives an urgent message: Simone has been arrested and is at the police station.
Greenlee marches into the Fusion office with steam practically pouring from her ears. "Who did this?!" She demands after seeing the posters plastered all over Pine Valley. Before she and Kendall can investigate the matter any further, the phone rings. Mia tells them to come down to the precinct. Mia, Kendall, and Greenlee converge on the Pine Valley police station demanding to know what is going on. The officer explains that Simone is being charged with defacing public property. Simone complains that he has no appreciation for marketing. A lawyer overhears their predicament and offers to help. Since Trey is unavailable, Greenlee agrees. Simone is happy with the arrangement. Earlier, she heard the lawyer arguing with Jackson Montgomery. She likes his looks and his style.
Mia calls Jake and before she says a word, he knows their rendezvous at the Inn has been canceled. Mia apologizes and promises they'll go another time. Jake is deeply disappointed.
Maggie and Henry work together to solve their chemistry equations. Regina, a fellow classmate, stops by their table to ask Henry if he is hitting the books in order to hit on Maggie. Henry ignores her dig. He and Maggie decide to take a coffee break. Maggie imagines that Henry's family must be really proud of him deciding to become a doctor. He says his mother and sister are, but refuses to discuss his father. When Henry gets a call, Maggie asks Regina why she picks on Henry. Regina mysteriously tells Maggie to be careful with Henry if she wants a future in med school.
Edmund nervously paces by the door waiting for David to arrive. Once he does, they get into their old argument over who's fault it is that Maria has taken ill. Edmund orders David to save Maria so he can get his wife back. He threatens David that if he doesn't cure Maria, then Edmund will take her to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Maria writhes in her bed whispering for someone to help her. She dreams of wandering in a dark room lit only by pillars topped with candles. She reaches out her hand and Aidan is there. Before she can touch him, Edmund wakes her. David examines Maria and finds that she has a high temperature and erratic heart beat, but he doesn't know what to do for her. He cannot assure Edmund that Maria will recover and refuses to be held accountable for her illness. David leaves and Edmund sits next to Maria's bedside. She wakes again and tells him she's sorry. She's never felt so sick before. Edmund tells her she is sick because of him."
