"Kendall and Erica were at the Valley Inn, gushing over the cake and going over last minute details for the wedding before rushing out to attend to things. Mary walked in and took the bride off the wedding cake and gently placed it on the floor before stepping on it. Kendall walked back in just in time to see Mary push over the multi-tiered wedding cake. Kendall was furious and said Mary better be as talented with pastry as she is with pool boys or she'd be in trouble. Mary claimed it just slipped. Kendall said she refused to let Mary ruin her mother's wedding day. Mary snidely told Kendall she "oughtn't call Erica 'mother'" and said Erica only manipulates people, she doesn't love them. She also said Erica wants to keep Jack in the dark and Greenlee deserves better. Kendall was confused and demanded an explanation. Mary left money to pay for the cake and walked out. Erica came in and assumed that Kendall had destroyed the cake. Kendall explained it was Mary and started asking questions about why Mary was so jealous and finally guessed that Greenlee is Jackson's daughter and Erica knows. Erica refused to answer and tried to leave, but Kendall wanted to know more. When Erica asked if Kendall was going to tell Jack and Greenlee, Kendall was stunned to realize it really was true. Erica was firm in her decision to not tell and now it was too late. Kendall understood that Erica was afraid of how angry they would be, but tried to convince Erica that Greenlee would come around. Kendall continued to urge her to tell the truth and Erica reminded her how often she's said she wished she'd never found out that Erica was her mother. Kendall said it would hurt to be kept in the dark. Erica justified how she was only trying to protect Jack from Mary, emotionally and financially, and Greenlee was no better. Erica went on to say she wouldn't stop Kendall from telling Jack if she felt she needed to, even though it would mean losing Jack. Kendall didn't want Erica to hate her for it and Erica insisted she'd still be her daughter even if she told. Erica said Kendall had a choice to either speak now or forever hold her peace. Kendall said she had hated Erica before and that what Erica is doing is wrong. Erica blamed Mary, but Kendall said she was only protecting herself. She finally said that she wouldn't tell them because it's important to Erica and she's her mother. They hugged and Erica thanked her profusely.

At SOS, Greenlee was handing the letter from her mother to Jack when Tad interrupted and took the letter and said he shouldn't open it. Both Greenlee and Jack asked why not. Tad said he just didn't want anything messing up the bachelor party and gave the letter back to Greenlee. Greenlee agreed that Jack probably didn't care what her mother had to say anyway, since he was already planning to marry another self-centered nightmare.

Back at their table, Greenlee quizzed Juan Pablo about his life and past. He said he came to town because he heard it was full of magic and great beauty but Greenlee knew there was more to it. When Simone and Carlos walked in, Greenlee whisked Juan out the back door to go back to her place.

Jack asked Tad if he had found his blood donor yet and accused him of not working on it. The bachelor party continued and Tad explained he's been busy running a dating service instead of a private investigation office. Tad demanded they keep the secret, then spilled the beans about four women all chasing the same guy, none of them know about the others, and named names. He even told them about the bet the Fusion girls have and Aidan filled in the details that he'd learned from Mia. Boyd did the math and realized there was only a 1 in 4 chance the stranger would pick Kendall and he'd still have a chance. Reggie reminded Boyd that he is not a second stringer. Tad toasted to Jack and Erica, the woman who turned romance into a spectator sport. Jack thanked Aidan again for whatever he did to keep Michael Cambias away. The party started splitting up and Jack admitted to being a bit nervous, even though it was a dream come true. Jack was confident that he and Erica would be able to handle anything that came their way and Tad urged him to remember that sentiment, no matter what.

At SOS, Simone and Carlos talked and she asked for a favor. He was reluctant, given the track record of getting in trouble for helping her. She told him about the stranger she'd met and asked Carlos to check him out for her. Carlos was suspicious of what was going on.

At the seedy bar, Bianca was fending off drunks with a cue stick from on top of the pool table and Maggie bought a round to help. Maggie tried to talk to Bianca, who would only say that she wouldn't let anyone hurt her or Maggie. They left the bar and went to Maggie's dorm room. Bianca showered and apologized to Maggie, who only wanted to know what was really going on. Bianca said she didn't want it to happen again and Maggie asked what and Bianca whispered "rape." She then asked Maggie to make sure he doesn't come again when she sleeps. Maggie put her arms around Bianca and told her to sleep, that she was safe and he wouldn't come.

Back at Greenlee's, she and Juan shared a brandy and Greenlee couldn't stop thinking about the letter to Jackson still in her purse. Juan Pablo encouraged her to open it, to satisfy her curiosity and find out what is going on. Greenlee declined and said she only wanted to know more about him and to find out if he'd like to invest in Fusion. He asked about the contest and she thought he meant the Sexiest Man contest. He was impressed by her and said he would consider investing in Fusion. She was surprised to learn he plans to stay in Pine Valley and wondered what his angle is. She accused him of keeping secrets but he told her she is hiding from secrets and then kissed her cheek and walked out. Greenlee thought about what he'd said and picked up the envelope and opened it to find out what Mary thinks will change her life forever."
