"At the Fusion Office, Simone was trashing the tapes from the contest when Mia walked in. Simone complained about not having a man in her life or bed, and they both expressed jealousy over Greenlee and Carlos. Greenlee stomped in just then and said, "To hell with Carlos," when asked where he was. She revealed that he had told her exactly what he thought of her.
Greenlee told them about the romantic setting at the country inn -- the champagne and the roses, and that Carlos had morphed from Don Juan to Ferdinand the bull because he had found out she was not perfect and saintly. He had found out about the blackmail scheme at Lacey's, and she assumed Diane Lacey had run to him with her girdle in a twist. Simone confessed that she had said something to Carlos, thinking he had already known. Greenlee was incredulous about Simone not being able to keep her "big bazoo shut" and fired her, also accusing her of only wanting Carlos for herself.
A frustrated Simone told Greenlee that Simone could lap dance for Carlos until her thighs were raw, and he still wouldn't notice her -- he would not notice any woman but Greenlee. Greenlee reluctantly admitted that Simone was right, but Carlos couldn't accept that she had lied and was not perfect. Simone fondly recalled that Kenny had thought she was perfect. Even though no one was perfect, everyone kept a scorecard. Relationships sucked, they all agreed.
Greenlee was distraught over being left behind again and vowed she could never let anyone else get close to her. They had a group hug, and Simone reminded Greenlee she was not the only one alone. Greenlee reminded her of Kenny and was stunned to learn that Kenny had moved to Russia. Mia assured Simone it was for the best, with no combat boots or babushkas, and she told them of her plans to write a book entitled Do Not Let This Happen to You. Simone suggested Kendall write a chapter on slimy snakes.
Mia noted the irony of running a hot company with a hot contest, yet all four of them were hopelessly single. Simone got an idea to do their own search for their own sexy men. Mia was immediately on board, but Greenlee once again swore she was done with men and would get a pet instead. Simone painted a picture of the four of them in a double-wide trailer with 16 cats and a satellite dish.
Greenlee got into the act and helped write the rules for their search -- no interns or mystery emailers. Simone suggested that if she or Mia won, they deserved to get Fusion stock as a prize, since they didn't have any, and Greenlee would have to stop firing Simone every five seconds. Greenlee wanted to wait for Kendall before agreeing.
Carlos went to SOS and flirted with Susanne, the bartender, as he drank tequila. Maggie, Myrtle, and Boyd were sharing a table to see Henry play in the band. They watched the female keyboard player play with Henry's hair as the band prepared to play. They also toasted to the end of Michael Cambias. Myrtle waxed nostalgic about her carney days and how the ongoing thunderstorm reminded her of a night in Kansas with a lightening rod salesman, who had given her at least two jolts.
Maggie noticed again how close Henry was with the keyboard player. Henry walked over to talk to Maggie and promised to back off and let her go. As Maggie watched Henry play, Carlos sent her a drink. She made eyes at Henry and later went to talk to Carlos, who told her she deserved better than the guitar player. He continued to flirt with Maggie and was glad to hear that Henry was not her boyfriend.
Maggie filled Carlos in on her past with Henry, and Carlos suggested she spend the evening with him instead. They toasted to moving on. Henry stopped by during a break, and Carlos tried to tip him and asked for a love song. Henry rudely said he didn't take tips, and then the keyboard player signaled Henry to return to the stage.
Carlos confided that he'd broken up with someone that night too. Carlos and Maggie continued to flirt shamelessly, and Henry walked over and pulled Maggie away. Maggie warned him to let go, and Carlos hit Henry. Just then, the power went out at SOS.
At the Pine Valley Police Station, Michael was making his phone call before being taken to a cell, and Kendall asked Erica if that was the day she thanked Erica for taking down Michael. Kendall saw the way Erica looked at Lena and Bianca and suggested she accept it, because they were together. Erica told Kendall to mind her own business. Adam walked in, and Erica lambasted him, assuming he was there to bail Michael out.
Adam was adamant that he was there to bury Michael and assured Erica there was "no way in hell" Michael would walk away. He also sang Lena's praises for her help in putting Michael away. Erica could only agree that Lena was determined. Adam noticed how skittish Erica was during the claps of thunder outside and wondered if Erica would be all right. She assured him she was fine.
Lena walked up to thank Kendall for her freedom, for getting back Bob Barrett. Bianca also thanked Kendall warmly, and Kendall said that was what big sisters were for. Erica even managed to choke out kind words to Lena about her terrible ordeal and the horror of being falsely accused. Erica wanted to take Bianca home, but Bianca had other plans.
Kendall offered to fill in on a mother-daughter combo for the evening and turned to walk out, but Erica stopped her when the thunder boomed outside again. Erica nearly fell over. Kendall could tell that something had spooked Erica and kindly offered to walk her to her car. Erica said she was fine, only waiting for Jack, but her nerves were clearly rattled.
Adam spoke to Michael in his cell, and Michael insisted Bob Barrett had acted alone. Adam was indignant that Michael thought he could get away with it. Adam told about the email trail, the phone calls, and money transfers and how Michael would go away for a long time, with Lena's help. Michael wondered who would believe a lying "lesbo." Adam assured Michael they had Bob's sworn affidavit and that greed and stupidity often went hand in hand.
Adam told Michael that he'd known it would happen and took credit for orchestrating Michael's demise. Adam congratulated himself about how easy it had been to just wait for Michael to self-destruct. Adam also sympathized with Michael's father and said Michael was not fit to wipe his father's shoes. After flashbacks of the disastrous press conference when his father disowned him, a furious Michael told Adam to get out of his sight.
Suddenly Erica was at Michael's cell, wanting to see for herself that the animal was properly caged. Michael reminded her of that night in her office and how much Erica had wanted him. He was completely smarmy and even suggested that she reach into his cell and give him something to smile about. Michael warned Erica to stop playing her dangerous teasing game and said she had it down pat, just like all those nights before in California when she had cried rape. He knew she had asked for it then, just like she'd asked for it in her office.
Erica stood dumbstruck, and Michael reached out through the bars to grab her. As Erica jumped, Kendall shouted that if he touched Erica, Kendall would kill him. Michael sarcastically commented about the rejected daughter rushing in to protect her mother. Erica ran out.
Michael reminded Kendall of how he had loved her when no one else would and how totally unlovable she was. He called Bianca screwed up, and Kendall called him sick, saying he'd get what was coming to him. As Kendall ran out, Michael's lawyer entered, and Michael urged the lawyer to get him out quickly.
Lena and Bianca were at the park, watching the storm roll in. Bianca apologized again for ever doubting Lena, but Lena was just glad they were together again. Lena said she wanted to take Bianca away for a long weekend or a week. Bianca was enthusiastic and suggested they start in Prague and stay away all summer. Adam approached them and said the D.A. needed more information from and about a Hong Kong associate of Michael's. Lena left to talk with Adam. Adam offered Bianca a ride home, but she said she'd walk and hoped to get home before the storm hit.
Meanwhile, Bianca got back to Myrtle's and found everyone gone. She was frightened because the storm had knocked out the power. At the same time, Erica was in her car, unable to drive because of the memories of Richard Fields that the storm summoned. She was reliving her rape, and when Kendall approached to help her, she thought it was Richard grabbing for her. Someone grabbed Bianca at the same moment. Erica continued to scream inside her car. Bianca asked who was there and was shocked when a lighter flicked on and revealed Michael Cambias."
