"All the Fusion girls except Kendall were watching videos, trying to narrow down the finalists for the Sexy Man contest. Greenlee told Mia and Simone they couldn't cross the line with their bet and the contest for Fusion. Simone said she couldn't wait for Mia and herself to get shares in the company. Greenlee told Simone she shouldn't be so sure she'd win. She said if she and Kendall won, they would get three months' take-home pay from Mia and Simone.
Mia said she barely made it from check to check as it was, and Greenlee said that it was only fair, since they wanted stock and they could call off the bet if they wanted to. They said no. Simone said that Greenlee thought that she had already won because she had Carlos to fall back on. Greenlee shouted that she didn't want Carlos in her life -- then or in the future. Carlos happened to walk in when Greenlee said that, and he stopped looking at her then stormed out.
Simone said that she was glad that Greenlee was over Carlos and then asked if Greenlee was sure it was over because she had seen the sparks fly between them when Carlos walked in. Mia asked Simone why she was so concerned about Greenlee and Carlos. Greenlee answered that it was because Simone melted when Carlos walked into the room and thought every other female did as well. Simone then said because she thought Greenlee would fall back to Carlos as an easy win. Greenlee said never that she was not putting her life on hold for any man, then walked out.
Liza walked in on the tail end of Greenlee's conversation and said she hoped Mia was listening. Mia in turn said she hoped Liza was listening as well. Greenlee returned shortly and asked where Simone was. Mia said that Simone had gone to Lacey's to check on the display. Greenlee said she wished Simone had said something to her before she left then started complaining about how hot it was in the office. Mia said she was comfortable, but Greenlee ignored her, saying she should call the building manager and have Carlos fired for not doing his job.
Mia said to Greenlee, "You wouldn't have him fired for breaking up with you, that's not right." Greenlee said they had mutually broken up, and if he couldn't do his job then he shouldn't be working there any longer. Greenlee left. Liza asked Mia where the others were and Mia replied that they were in their own corners. Liza asked, "Were we fighting?" Mia answered yes.
Mia said they would assess the situation, explaining, "When you go home, you eat popcorn, sit on the couch, and do crossword puzzles. You don't go out and try to have a life." Liza told Mia she didn't understand and tried blaming her marriage to Adam, but Mia didn't buy it. Liza said that Mia didn't know about Liza's past relationships then said that Tad was just as complicated as she herself.
Liza rambled on about Mia being the one who helped her do the puzzles. Mia said, "Not any longer. I know what I want, and I'm going after it," then left. Liza looked at her cell phone.
Lena arrived at Myrtle's with her guard in tow. Boyd let them both in, and Lena explained that Jackson had provided her with an officer because Michael had gotten out on bail. Lena asked if Bianca was up, and Boyd said that he hadn't seen her yet. He also said that Michael wouldn't dare show his face at Myrtle's.
Lena discussed her plans to travel with Bianca and gave Boyd their itinerary. Boyd thought it was a great idea that they go away. Lena started calling for Bianca, but Myrtle told Lena to save her breath because Bianca wasn't home. Lena said there she was, discussing Bianca with Boyd, and Bianca wasn't even there. Boyd said that maybe Bianca was off planning her own trip to paradise.
David and Anna woke up, and he was sleeping on the couch and she in the chair. In silence, they folded their blankets, and David put them away. Both wanted to say something, but both remained quiet. Anna found Leora's bootie and held it in her hand. David returned from the bedroom and said to Anna that she had to be starving. Anna asked if she could fix David something to eat, and he said no. Anna said they both could use coffee and went off to fix some, but she returned minutes later, saying they were out of coffee beans. David said he'd run to get some, and when Anna was about to protest, he said, "Please, just let me go," then walked out.
Anna sat in the rocking chair, lost in thought, when there was a knock on the door. She saw who it was through the window, and when she opened the door, she asked Tad why he was there. Tad said he could ask her the same thing. They walked inside, and Tad asked Anna if she was there to arrest David, and she asked if Tad wanted her to. He said it probably would be a good idea, but he was there to tell David, and he didn't care what she thought because it would be self-defense in his opinion, to stay away from his family.
Anna told Tad that David wouldn't bother them anymore. Tad asked how she knew that. Anna said they had dealt with issues that they had been holding back since Leora died. Tad said that he would like to believe it, but considering it was David, he had a hard time doing so. Tad said that David might be lying to her. He suggested that Anna might want to get her things and leave. Anna told Tad he was about to cross a line he shouldn't, but Tad insisted. She told him no.
A few seconds later David returned asking what he had done to deserve Tad's visit. Tad told David that he was there to tell David to stay away from his family, especially Jamie. David said, "Duly noted and agreed." Tad said, "Just like that?" David said yes, if Tad agreed to drop it then he would drop it. Tad didn't believe him and David asked, "What is it with you Martins? You get what you want, and you're still not satisfied." Tad said, "Forgive me if I can't believe this turnaround."
Anna told Tad that he should go. Tad said that maybe Anna should also leave, but Anna refused, saying she was staying with David. Tad left, and David said, "Thank you." They were outside the cabin when Anna said it was a nice day and perhaps they should go to the beach or something. David agreed, but when Anna went inside, David followed, saying he remembered that he had promised Janelle that he would go to work because she had been pulling double duty since Leora died. Anna said if he had promised then he should go. David said he'd check in with her later then left.
Bianca was still sitting on the park bench in daze when someone approached her, asking if he could share the bench with her. When she looked up, she saw Michael and started screaming, "No! Stay away from me!" The man said, "Fine, have the bench to yourself," and as he walked away, Bianca saw that it wasn't actually Michael. A couple jogging stopped briefly behind Bianca. The female jogger called the male jogger a loser and told him to eat her dust. The male jogger grabbed the female jogger, and she started saying, "Let me go! Don't touch me!" which made Bianca flash back to her saying the same thing to Michael. The two joggers laughed and ran off.
At the same moment, someone put their hand on Bianca's shoulder, and she screamed, "Don't touch me!" She turned and found David standing her, looking concerned. David asked Bianca if she was all right, and she apologized when she realized who it was. Bianca told David some guy had hassled her. He asked who the person was and said he'd call the police. She told him it was okay because the guy was gone.
David sat down beside Bianca then asked if she had been up all night. Bianca said yes because she had something on her mind. David asked if she and Erica had had a fight, and she told him that it wasn't her mom or anyone, just her. David asked if she remembered that they had become friends when he dated Erica, and she answered yes. He told her that if she needed to talk to him, he was there for her. She said that it didn't matter because no matter what terrible thing happened, the sun still rose in the morning, "and life goes on without you." David said he understood exactly what she meant.
Bianca then realized who she was talking to and said, "Oh, God, David! I'm sorry about Leora." Then she asked David, "How do you go on? How do you go on when the unthinkable happens? How do you get out of bed?" David said, "Sometimes, just before you're fully conscious, you hope that it's all a bad dream, that Leora is sleeping in the cradle, dreaming whatever babies dream, but that's when you wake up..." Bianca said, "And you realize that no matter how tightly you close your eyes, you can't make what happen go away, that it really happened." David said yes then added, "Bianca, I don't know what brought you to this place, but you can talk to me, maybe saying it will help."
Bianca thanked David but said she'd have to deal with it on her own. She said she should get back to Myrtle's place before they missed her. David told Bianca that she had his phone numbers, and he'd be there for her when she needed to talk. She thanked David then left.
When Bianca returned to Myrtle's, she walked in quietly. Everywhere she looked, everything that had happened with Michael flashed back to her. When she turned back toward the door, she saw Michael standing there and heard him say, "There you are," as he walked over to hug her. Bianca was terrified and couldn't move. Then it was Lena's voice saying that she had wanted to be with Bianca the night before, but hadn't wanted to disturb her. Bianca jerked away and said, "Don't touch me!" Lena asked what was wrong.
Maria woke Edmund up with kisses. Edmund asked how he had ever slept without her, and Maria said, "On your back, snoring." Edmund said that the bed had been empty for way too long. Maria told Edmund that she didn't know where she ended and he began. He reached under the cover and said, "How about there?" Then they both went under the covers to check each other out.
After Maria and Edmund made love, Maria mentioned that it was the first time they had been alone without the kids since she had regained her memory. She thought they should take advantage of it. Edmund said that he had a deadline and had to get to the magazine. Maria looked at him in shock then he said, "Got you...you are too easy!" Maria said they needed a change of scenery then suggested the shower.
A little later on, Maria and Edmund had a picnic at the park. They were lying on a blanket, playing around, when David walked toward them. Edmund saw David and said that he didn't want any trouble. David said he didn't, either, and told them to have a good day. Edmund wondered if David was okay.
Maria said that she and Edmund were going to take a stroll down memory lane and pulled out a bag with Chinese food in it. She asked if he remembered when they had first eaten Chinese food together. He recalled that Julia had left the food out for two hours and that Maria had gotten food poisoning. She said that when she was throwing up and he was there wiping her head with a towel she had known he was a good man. He said he'd have to remember to thank Julia for making her sick.v After Edmund and Maria ate their food, Edmund pulled out a wrapped gift box for Maria. She opened it and found a book that she needed for her recertification and an envelope that contained a chain with a locket that had the kids' pictures and the date of their wedding. She told Edmund she loved it and thanked him.
Carlos went to resign from his job with Fusion, but Simone said she had figured he'd try to do something like that and told him not to. Carlos said he had to and went off around the corner. Simone fell and twisted her ankle. She called out in pain for Carlos, who returned and asked if she was okay. She told him that she had slipped. He picked her up and sat her in a chair. He started rubbing her leg. She was moaning in pleasure when Greenlee walked in on the two of them.
Mia went to a garage, and someone under a red convertible asked who was there. It was Aidan who emerged from under the car. Mia looked at him and smiled.
Tad rushed into Fusion, asking Liza what was so urgent. Liza told Tad that he would be on his knees. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?" Liza said that he'd be thanking her. He asked what he'd be thanking her for. Liza said for showing him the best love he had ever known."
