"TAD & LIZA.
Liza stammered and stuttered at Tad about his suggestion that she thinks she is the woman for him. She was totally defensive but Tad accused her of wanting him for herself, marking her territory and even offered to put down plastic sheeting. She told him he hasn't changed and is the same egotistical, insolent child he was in high school. He told her she's right, he still has it, and reminded her of how much she loved it then and suggested she still loves it now. Liza asked if he thinks she finds his retro side appealing and he opined that she finds every side of him appealing. They continued quibbling and Tad accused her of running scared and running out when things get close and real. Liza cautioned him to not rewrite history. Mia walked in and asked Liza what she was doing there. Liza was again defensive and Tad explained that Liza has been carrying a torch for him for years. Liza denied it and Mia asked them to stop pretending they are not interested in each other long enough to listen to her. Mia said she didn't want them to fight anymore and Tad explained that's how they communicate. Mia explained she was taking herself out of the dating game and Liza didn't believe her. She wondered why Mia was at Tad's house. Mia came to apologize for kissing Tad and Tad smugly asked if Liza now believed his version. Mia said she'd planned to apologize to Liza later and swore she would now stop feeling sorry for herself and trying to make everyone else miserable. Tad proclaimed it a real life "Mia culpa" and went to sit on the sofa. Mia apologized to Liza for throwing her mistakes in her face and they shared a sisterly hug. Tad stepped up to get a hug too and Liza stopped him. Mia apologized to Tad for baiting him and throwing herself at him. She left to leave things how they probably should be. Liza again announced that there is nothing going on between her and Tad. Mia said all three of them knew better than that. Tad then apologized to Mia for what he'd said to her on the beach. Tad and Liza were alone and Liza asked "now what?" Tad wondered why she asked him and she reminded him he always has the answers. Tad accused Liza of only coming over to torture him about getting nasty with little her sister. Liza admitted Tad had not been going after Mia and Tad reminded her he'd told her so. They agreed Mia had seemed sorry and were grateful to Mia for letting them both off the hook. Liza admitted she'd been trying to control Mia's life and Tad called that a big steaming pile of irony. They wondered what Mia meant by telling them there is more going on than either will admit. Liza had a hard saying it, but she got around to asking if they are or should considering the possibility. Tad admitted he's wondered about a reunion. Liza said she maybe did too. They both took cues from each other and agreed it wasn't really a possibility and besides, who wants to relive the past. It took Liza a long time to leave once she decided to, and Tad seemed to want to stop her, but stopped himself. Once Liza left, Tad obviously expected her to come back in, but she was outside with her hand on the doorknob...but in the end, she walked away.
BIANCA & LENA.
Lena was off-duty at SOS and they made plans to go somewhere else when Michael approached. Michael wanted to talk to Lena privately. Bianca waited as Michael again threatened Lena for cooperating with the DA. She told him he can't hurt her anymore but he warned her that her immunity won't be worth a thing if her testimony hurts him. She reminded him he would be the suspect if anything happens to her. He threatened to hurt the people she loves, not her, and took a long look at Bianca as he said it. He denied actually threatening Bianca. Lena told him she is not afraid of him and promised she will do whatever it takes to protect the people she cares about. Bianca came by to break up their argument and Lena assured her it was all over with Michael.
Mia showed up at SOS and talked to Bianca and Lena, admiring their relationship. The bartender gave her a drink sent over by someone and just as Mia proclaimed that the lamest move ever, Michael came up to say he thought it was friendly. Mia drank the beer he'd bought her, but would not stay for a second one.
The police came in to arrest Lena as a delighted Michael and confused Bianca watched.
EDMUND & MARIA.
The Grey family was playing at the beach, building sandcastles and Maria expressed her fear that their happiness could be gone any time. Edmund reassured her that they had nothing to worry about. Just then, David walked out of the bushes and scared the kids. Maria introduced them and told them David is not scary. The kids went off to play and David asked where Aidan and Mia were. David was shocked to hear that Maria's memory had returned and sarcastically commented on how the two of them seemed to have it all. Maria and David talked alone, about Leora, the pain of losing a child and how Leora made David believe he could be a better person. David guessed that Maria thought it was retribution for what he'd done to her, but Maria only wanted to thank David for saving her life. David left and Maria and Edmund agreed he was probably going to be all right and it was just too hard for him to see so much happiness right now. Edmund promised to protect Maria if David got too resentful of her memory returning without his help.
SIMONE.
Simone was at the Fusion office, looking at and lusting after video entries for the Sexiest Man contest. Kenny rushed in, breathless from running up the stairs, and proposed to an incredulous Simone, who reminded him they've barely dated or kissed. So Kenny planted a big smooch on Simone that took her breath away. He hesitated when Simone asked him if he loved her and she wanted to know what was really going on. Kenny was being transferred to Georgia, the former Soviet Republic, and wanted to take her with him, he explained. Simone was not impressed, since he brought no flowers, no romance, no ring. He begged her to look at him and told her he loves her and it's now or never. Simone believed him but Kenny guessed correctly that she did not love him back. She wished she did, because he's kind and smart and wanted him to know she really does care about him. She told him she'll never forget how it felt to look into his eyes and see love. They said goodbye and wished each other happiness. After Kenny left, Simone told herself she'd made the right decision.
Simone went back to Myrtle's and found some spiked lemonade and a shoulder to lean on. Myrtle agreed with Simone's decision about Kenny and how a spark and passion are essential for a successful relationship and marriage. Myrtle told her to be patient about love. They decided to spend the evening watching videos sent in for the Sexiest Man contest. Myrtle asked Simone if she thought one of those men would like a mature, clever beauty. Simone thought so, and complained about the arduous task of watching all these sexy men and having to narrow down the contestants to the final 25. Myrtle continued to enjoy watching and said these guys could melt her VCR any day."
