"At a construction site, Joni and Reggie again collided over Joni's decision to tell Jack about Luis' possible involvement in Jackson's shooting. Luis showed up on the scene and threatened Joni's safety. Although Luis had been questioned by the police, he had ultimately been released without any charges being filed. Reggie managed to shoo away Joni with some angry and tough words, but she remained behind unbeknownst to either Luis or Reggie. Luis held a knife to Reggie and told him that he wanted to steal supplies from the construction site. This, said Luis, was a way for Reggie to make up for doing him wrong.
Maria and Edmund continued to bask in the afterglow of making love. As they lay in bed, Sammy and Maddie raced into the room to make sure that their mommy wasn't going anywhere. As the family laughed and enjoyed their reunion, Mia showed up. She instantly knew what had transpired, but she tried to remain strong. Maria and the kids left, allowing Edmund and Mia to talk things over. Edmund assured Mia that what he'd felt for her was genuine, but it came as little consolation to Mia. Mia blasted herself for having had a failed relationship with Jake and then again for racing into a relationship with Edmund.
Maria went to the Pine Cone Motel to let Aidan know that she planned to return to her life as Edmund's wife. Aidan remained strong as a tearful Maria told him that leaving him was a very difficult decision. As she was exiting, Maria left her engagement ring on the desk.
Later, back at Wildwind, Edmund and the children threw Maria a "Happy Birthday Times 5" party to make up for the five birthdays she's missed while she was away.
Erica and Kendall discussed what had transpired in Erica's office at Enchantment. While Kendall pressed for her mother -- whom she now referred to as "mother" -- to tell the police that Michael had tried to sexually assault her, Erica was unable to bring herself to say that she had almost been raped. Jackson showed up at the hospital and was stunned to hear Erica state that Kendall had saved her life. A furious Jackson stormed into Michael's cubicle and tried to rough up the still-unconscious businessman. Later, when Michael regained consciousness, he claimed that he hadn't harmed Erica in anyway. Instead, he asserted that both Erica and Kendall have some sort of bizarre sexual attraction to him, an attraction that turned violent when he rebuked Erica's advances. Outside in the waiting area, Kendall told her mother that she doesn't have to be strong for her benefit and assured her that she was there for her. As Derek continued to investigate exactly what was going on, another detective arrived on the scene to announce that Kendall was being charged with assault with a deadly weapon. A smug Michael exited the examination room and announced that he'd been the one who'd decided to have charges pressed against his former lover."
