"MARY & ERICA.
Greenlee continued to grill Erica and Mary about what was going on and Erica asked Mary if she thought Greenlee would be interested in their conversation or if it was something they should keep to themselves. Greenlee said she could speak for herself and she was definitely interested. Mary said that was right, since it affects Greenlee and she was only sorry she hadn't told her sooner. Erica cautioned Mary that perhaps their discussion wasn't something that should be public and fondled the file folder. Mary explained to Greenlee that she'd met a man and Greenlee wondered why this one was so different from all the others. Mary explained that it happened, right there in Pine Valley, and it was someone she knew before she married...Roger, stopping herself from saying "your father." Greenlee guessed it must have been a waiter at the rehearsal dinner. Mary said it was Jackson Montgomery and Greenlee wondered what the big deal was. Greenlee guessed it was just Mary and Erica fighting over the same man and wondered when the hair pulling would start. When Mary tried to explain what Jackson is, Erica began fanning herself with the file. Mary only said Jack is the reason she and Erica aren't getting along. Greenlee asked Mary if it would kill her to go after a man who was actually available. Erica had to interject that losing Jack to Mary was the last thing she was worried about. Greenlee remembered that sounded a lot like what Erica said about Fusion, before they started knocking tired Enchantment products off the shelves. Erica scoffed and advised Greenlee that Fusion should enjoy their brief time in the spotlight because fads fade and people will soon forget they were ever there and that she could just ask her mother for confirmation. Greenlee warned Erica to not bet on it before she turned on her heels and walked out. Erica told Mary she did the right thing by not telling Greenlee the truth. Mary simply replied that she did it for Jack, not Erica. Erica told her she did it for Greenlee too, because Mary knew how much the truth would hurt them both. When Mary said that Jack would love Greenlee, Erica reminded her that Jack would not love Mary. Mary pretended it was a selfless act because Greenlee may end up hating her when she tells her the truth. Erica accused her of never caring about Greenlee. Erica began to review the file. First there was a Portuguese gigolo who emptied Mary's bank accounts. Then, Jean Paul, a 17- yr-old son of a French diplomat who had Mary thrown out of the country. Erica thought it was just a lovely story and accused Mary of being after Jack's money now. Mary insisted she would never use her daughter for financial gain. She begged Erica to remember she has everything and does not need to ruin Mary. Erica wondered why, in that case, it was all right for Mary to try to ruin her and Jackson. Erica told Mary she is doing her a favor by not telling since neither Greenlee nor Jack would ever speak to her again if they found out the truth.
JACKSON & REGGIE.
Reggie brought the necklace to Jack at his hospital room. As Reggie left, Jack wondered if he was trying to say goodbye. Reggie only thanked Jack for everything he's done for him and said he had to leave. Joni saw Reggie in the hospital and assumed he had told Jack the truth about Luis and the supplies. Jack left a voice mail for Erica to come to the hospital right away. Joni went in to see Jack and realized that Reggie had not told Jack the truth. Jack was suspicious and demanded an explanation of what she meant. Joni spilled the beans about Luis forcing Reggie to steal supplies and how Luis has threatened Jack, Joni and Janelle if Reggie didn't cooperate. Joni thought Reggie had told Jack, but was now frightened for Reggie and how he might confront Luis, who may have a knife or a gun. Jack suddenly realized that Reggie may have taken the gun from his safe and sprung into action.
At the work site, Reggie confronted Luis with the gun and accused him of leaving Jack to die in the alley, just like he'd left his brother. Luis admitted killing Reggie's brother for ratting his friends out and dared Reggie to shoot him. Jack came around the corner and told Reggie to put the gun down. Reggie confessed that Joni had saved Jack's life and been the one to come clean about the supply stealing and he was tired of doing nothing. Jack tried to reason with Reggie and begged him not to throw his future away. Jack promised to help him put Luis away for his brother's death.
Erica got Jack's message and rushed to his room, only to find Joni, worried sick about Jack and Reggie at the Habitat site. Erica rushed out as soon as she learned that Reggie may have Jack's gun.
Reggie finally let Jack take the gun, just before Anna and the police arrived. Jack and Reggie hugged as Luis was taken away, warning Reggie to not be like his brother, George. Jack was trying to talk to Anna and keep the cuffs off Reggie when Erica rushed in and said she heard about him wanting to stop a shooting. Anna took Reggie into custody. Jack was very supportive and warned him not to talk to anyone until he gets there. Erica tried to get Jack to go back to the hospital but since Reggie had only been protecting Jack, he insisted on following him to the police station.
TAD & DAVID.
Tad found himself bound up to a chair, in his own living room, with David Hayward standing by, claiming someone else had tied Tad up and he doesn't have the key to the handcuffs. David hoped Tad now knows how David felt when Tad stopped him from helping Leora during surgery. David promised he wouldn't let Tad go until he knew how it felt to lose everything. He asked Tad how it would feel if something happened to Jamie while he was helplessly tied to the chair and unable to get to his son. Tad became frantic and warned David to stay away from Jamie. David relived Leora's death, blamed Tad, and called him a self-righteous bastard. Tad tried to be rational, but David wouldn't listen and continued to threaten Jamie. When David left, Tad managed to scoot the chair to the desk and quite impressively, was actually able to dial 911 with his tongue. Anna showed up and dialed Jamie's cell phone so Tad could warn him to stay with his mother or grandparents and not go anywhere alone. Jamie promised he would. Anna was stunned that David had done this to Tad, but got a phone call and had to leave, promising to send an officer over to get Tad out of the cuffs and to assign an officer to protect Jamie. Tad was sulking and fighting the chair when in walked a grinning Liza, who had to ask "what have we here?" Liza wondered who the woman who left was and where the whips were. Tad was not amused and Liza was stunned when Tad explained David was behind this. Liza said she'd only come over to tell him his ego is wrong and she's not still carrying a torch for him. Tad wondered if this was the right time to deal with that. Liza asked if he was planning to go anywhere. The police arrived with the key and Liza took it, promising to unlock Tad herself. She could only grin at the helpless Tad. Tad refused to beg and could not believe Liza's attitude. He was dismayed by the help he was getting from friends like Liza and Anna. Liza feigned surprise that he thinks of her as a friend because it seemed he thought there was more on her part. Tad was dumbfounded and apologized, saying he never meant to imply that Liza thought of him as anything other than a dear friend who happens to know her biblically. He asked her to please unlock the cuffs. Liza opined that David did a huge favor to the women of Pine Valley by giving Tad a timeout and a chance to reassess his priorities. She said this was the best thing that ever happened to him on a hot and steamy night, preventing him from weaseling his way into an unsuspecting woman's bed. She left the key on the desk and said Jamie could unlock him in the morning. Tad insisted it was not a joke and he wasn't laughing but she left as Tad whined that he had to go to the bathroom.
FUSION and the FAIR.
Mia was working to set up a Fusion booth at the 4th of July Fair, with Jamie's help. Mia complimented his handyman skills and had to ask if he was trying to hit on her. They continued coy chatter when Simone came up to warn Mia to back off. She asked if Mia was just obsessing over any Martin man. Mia accused her of being jealous and opined that Tad's charm may be hereditary. Jamie then walked up to say he was done helping Mia and asked a smiling Simone if she needed anything taken care of. At the nearby hospital booth, Ruth, Joe, and Brooke watched Jamie, the charmer. Brooke asked for Joe's help to give Jamie guidance and Joe could only say he hadn't had much luck with Tad at that age. Brooke supposed she may have to tie Jamie to a chair in the basement until he's 30. Joe could only wonder if that would have worked with Tad.
Greenlee went to the Fusion office and was delighted to see Carlos. He asked about the new display at Lacey's and wondered if Greenlee had used the information he'd told her about Diane Lacey. Greenlee was defensive and reminded Carlos he hadn't told her any secrets. Carlos was insistent that he wanted to know right now if she had done anything with the information he had told her. Greenlee admitted she did and explained she'd only talked to Mrs. Lacey about the Sexiest Man contest, the magazine interview, and offered Lacey's a chance to display photos of the 25 finalists and help with the voting. Carlos believed her and they kissed.
At the fair, Brooke reminded Jamie he was there to help the family, not to help himself to the Fusion girls. David walked up then and asked Jamie to tell his dad he says hi. Jamie walked away and Brooke asked David to lighten up, since they were there to celebrate and enjoy Grandma Kate's famous lemonade. David was only sarcastic about Ruth baking apple pies and cookies too. Brooke was empathetic over the loss of a child and told him about a support group he could join. David said he would handle things his own way and left. Jamie and Simone were talking about the contest and Jamie asked Simone to bend the rules so he could still enter. Mia came up and took Simone away. Ruth was curious about Brooke's conversation with David and they all hoped David would find a constructive way to cope with his grief, without hurting himself or anyone else. As they stirred the lemonade, David was seen at his cabin, satisfyingly stirring a beaker of some kind of liquid."
