"CHRIS:
Chris was packing his things at Erica's penthouse and picked up a picture of him and Erica and threw it against the door, shattering the glass in the frame. Just then, Bianca came in and wondered what was going on. Chris explained she should ask her mother...or her Uncle Jack. Bianca agreed that Jack and her mother are close, but it's not like Chris.
JACKSON & ERICA:
Erica continued to blame Jack for ruining her life and her last chance at happiness. He was confused and reminded her she'd just told him she loves him. She reminded him she'd also said she wanted to marry Chris. Jack asked her to back up and told her he didn't remember asking her for a roll in the hay the night Lily was sick and he went to her house. Erica blew up and said he knew how vulnerable she was. Jack sputtered at that and asked if that's why she wanted to talk to Chris alone, so that she could put her Erica-centric spin on it and tell him that Jack had forced himself on her that night. Erica continued to blast Jack for putting her in an untenable position and insisted that Jack had taken advantage of her. Jack couldn't believe his ears. Erica told him he'd taken away everything that matters to her. Jack emphatically reminded her that couldn't be true, because she was still there, and Erica Kane is the only thing that matters to Erica Kane. Erica said she knew that the one person she does not matter to is Jack. Jackson was frustrated that Erica could twist his words like that and Erica continued to berate him for taking away her happiness. She told him he did what he always does when she's ready to start a new life with another man, he blew it to pieces. He was incredulous and reminded her that she's the one who blows things to pieces. No, she said, he's the one who is determined to destroy her happiness and he'd done with Dimitri, Travis, and Mike. Jackson had to agree, that what he does is get the club, whack her on the head, drag her to his cave and make violent love to her. She said that sums it up. Jackson then told Erica he does not need to go to those lengths because she is mere putty in his hands and a woman who can't say no. Erica agreed that she can't, not when he plays on her sympathies. Jack got mad then that she would accuse him of using Lily's illness to get her into bed. He reminded her that she told him she only sleeps with men she loves and that she told him she loves him. She said she had no choice, after what he had said. Jack didn't believe she only said it out of pity and he took her by the arm and insisted she look him in the eye and tell him she does not love him. Erica couldn't answer him and said the only thing she knows is that Chris just walked out on her. Jack said she couldn't blame him for chasing Chris out, or Mike, or Dimitri. "You left out Travis", Erica said. Jack refused to be blamed for her bad choices and told her she has driven away every man who ever loved her. Why hadn't he left, like all the others, Erica wondered. Jack said he's not like them, he knows she doesn't want him to leave, that she's only testing him, she is looking for the one man who can take everything he can dish out and still stay. He reminded her that he has always been there, has never walked on out or hardened his heart against her. But it doesn't make me happy, Erica cried. Your father did this, Jack said, and we can prove him wrong. He's the one who made you think you are not worthy of love, would never find a love that lasts, and that every man will walk out on you. Erica begged him to stop and leave her father out of this. Jack said they couldn't leave him out of it and asked if she wasn't sick of feeling the way she does. She could stop, love him and let him love her, and prove that bastard wrong, he said. Erica only muttered "I can't" and walked out of Jack's office. He stewed and paced and remembered scenes of his past with Erica. He slammed his fist into his desk and rushed out of his office, only to come face-to-face with Chris in the doorway.
Meanwhile, Erica was lonely at home. Bianca confronted her mother and didn't let Erica lie to her. Bianca knew that Erica had slept with Jack and coldly suggested she grow up.
ISABELLA & AIDAN:
Isabella lectured Aidan about the past and how Maureen/Maria belongs with Edmund and their children and how Aidan should not interfere with the unbreakable bond between Maria and her children. Aidan told Isabella he only wanted to help Maria. Isabella wasn't buying it and accused Aidan of helping Maria avoid her children. He explained she was taking classes, with the dream of becoming a doctor. Isabella was adamant that one day her prayers would be answered and Maria will be back with the people who matter to her.
EDMUND & MAUREEN:
Edmund was touched to find Maureen singing to Maddie, the same lullaby she used to sing to Sam when he was a baby. Edmund apologized for Isabella ruining her evening, but Maureen assured him she was where she wants to be, with her sick daughter. Edmund apologized then for making Maureen feel like he was kicking her out of the house. He explained his broken date with Mia and how good Mia was with Maddie. Maddie woke up and had a bad fever. Maureen gave Maddie some ibuprofen and the parents anxiously waited for her temperature to drop. It finally did, and everyone was rejoicing as Aidan entered the room.
FUSION:
As Carlos listened to his voice mail from Greenlee in the office, Liza entered looking for the others. Just as Carlos explained the girls were gone, Liza's heel broke and Carlos comes to her rescue, catching her before she fell and offering to fix her shoe. Liza's leg bothered her, so Carlos rubbed it for her. Liza took the opportunity to grill him about his private life and deduced he has it bad for Greenlee, after he said Greenlee was not the one for him. Liza tried to explain Greenlee, how she suffered last year, and encouraged his interest. He admitted to sending the emails and that he thinks that Greenlee is only afraid of anyone knowing she knows someone like him. Liza continued encouraging words before she left. Meanwhile, the Fusions gals were all at the gym, working out and talking about men. Greenlee repeatedly called to check her voice mail and was disappointed there was nothing from Carlos. Kendall was upset that Michael had left town without saying goodbye and the others tried to be supportive. Kendall thought that Erica was behind Michael leaving her and the others tried to convince her that Erica has other things to worry about and Michael could not be made to do anything he didn't want to do. They also tried to talk Kendall out of chasing after Michael. Greenlee could only say that none of them should believe the Cinderella fairy tale, because no Prince Charming was going to come into any of their lives. The others reminded her that she was happy once with Leo. The others all still believed in love at first sight and won't give up. As Carlos turned out the lights and left the office, Greenlee was coming in and they met in the elevator."
