"Tad told Juan Pablo to leave Fusion's office. He told Juan that the women in Pine Valley don't take kindly to being played against each other. Tad said he recognized a con when he saw one. Juan didn't know what Tad meant so Tad explained that he set up clandestine meetings with the Fusion women, wooed them and conveniently forgot to give them his name. In walked Mia and Simone. Tad introduced them to Juan Pablo, using all of his names, and told them he was an international stalker. They said he wasn't stalking them and Tad got more upset. Juan said he was sorry he didn't give the women his name and said that when he engages in business he likes to build relationships first. Tad yelled "Wake up! He was ready to take you and your company for a ride before I came along!" Tad tried to prove his case by giving the facts "A mysterious man meets each one of you separately, flatters you, leads you on?" Simone said she didn't see the problem, he called her an "Enchanted Orchid." Tad said that was a cheesy line. Mia said he didn't use a line on her, that he just talked to her when she was down. Liza said Juan was just helping. Tad asked about Juan's "steamy tango with Greenlee." Mia and Simone looked at each other and said "He danced with Greenlee? We need him to win our bet!" They turned to Juan and asked him to lunch, which he declined as he had a previous engagement. Mia asked if it was with Greenlee and he laughed and said no, and not with Kendall either. He said he'd be in touch and left the office. Liza asked Tad what was the matter and he replied, "With me or you? You're like 3 dueling dwarves, Dim, Drooling, and Desperate. Someone needs to save you from El Quappo!" The women sat Tad down and leaned in, asking "And who's going to save you?" Mia said he just chased out the best chance they had of partnership in Fusion and Simone said "Not to mention he was hot!." Exasperated, Tad said they deserved anything they get, including a "tropical rash." He started towards the elevator and Liza joined him, saying they weren't finished. She said since he thinks the Fusion bet is ridiculous they should call their bet off. He said she wanted to because she was losing, which she denied and said Juan might just be what she's been looking for. Tad looked disgusted and said "Fine, but don't expect me to be there when you fall!" and left.

Maggie tried to convince Bianca to call Jackson and report the rape. Bianca said she wouldn't do that to her mother on her wedding day, it was too important to Erica. Maggie said Bianca was important to her too. Bianca said she just wanted the day to be perfect for her mother. Maggie asked if she "gave" this day to her mother, would it make her feel better? Bianca said yes so Maggie agreed, saying she figured one more day wouldn't make a difference. Bianca asked what she meant and Maggie said they could wait a day to tell the police. Bianca franticly said she wasn't going to tell, not now or ever. Maggie couldn't understand why Bianca wouldn't tell her mother. Bianca said Erica has had to deal with this since she was 14 and was finally putting it behind her. Maggie said "She's not 14, neither are you! You have the power to put him away!" Bianca shook her head and Maggie said what if he does this again? Bianca said he was going to be put away for insider trading so he'd be in jail anyway. Maggie told Bianca to look at how her mother was affected by her rape. Bianca said her mother was getting it together now. Maggie told Bianca she was always the girl to speak out and say what was on her mind and that she couldn't let Michael Cambias take that away from her. Bianca said she didn't want to tell anyone, she couldn't tell her mom, she couldn't stand a trial and having to tell a room full of people what he did to her. Bianca forced Maggie to promise on their love for Frankie that she wouldn't tell anyone. Finally Maggie promised but said Bianca had to do something for her. Maggie wanted Bianca to go to the doctor and get checked out but Bianca totally refused and ran out the door.

Erica was in the penthouse looking in a mirror and was obviously upset. Kendall came in and said it wasn't easy living with deception. Erica pretended everything was ok and showed Kendall the gift Jack gave her. Kendall suggested Erica give Jack a gift, the truth. Erica said she thought they had agreed to keep it secret. Kendall said it was eating at Erica and she still had time to tell Jack before the wedding. Erica muttered to herself "We're only as sick as our secrets" and told Kendall that was something she learned in AA. She said she was sure Jack would handle the news after the wedding much better and that he had always been very understanding with her and he knows she only wants the best for him. Erica was sure that Mary would grow tired of the game and move on. Kendall wasn't sure but Erica begged her to concentrate on good thoughts and happiness today so Kendall agreed. Erica went in her room and returned with a gift for Kendall. She opened it and gasped when she saw pearls. Erica said her mother had given them to her and now she wanted Kendall to have them. She said Mona would be very proud of how far they had come. Kendall was almost speechless and said she was overwhelmed but wondered if Bianca should be the one to receive the gift. Erica said her mother gave them to her with just one provision, that they stay in the family and Kendall was family. Kendall said she would be honored. Bianca walked in and Erica and Kendall turned to look at her. Erica exclaimed "What happened to you?!!" and Kendall said she looked a little rough around the edges. They fussed over her and said they'd help her get ready and went off to begin.

Jack was at the Inn giving last minute instructions to a host. Greenlee walked in and Jack went to her. She didn't say a word, just stared at him. Jack asked if she was ok and what happened. Greenlee finally said she needed to see her mother. Jack said he'd help her find Mary and took her upstairs to Mary's room. Meanwhile Mary stormed into the lobby screaming at Reggie. The host walked over as Reggie told Mary to leave the hotel. The host offered to call the police and Mary said he should so they could arrest Reggie. The host said "Mrs. Smythe, please leave." Reggie acted like he hadn't known who she was and said loudly "Mrs. Smythe? The crazy woman who's been stalking Erica Kane?" People began to come over to see what was happening. Mary yelled that she wasn't stalking Erica but the host told her she did have somewhat of a reputation. She started to attack Reggie who stepped away as the host came between them. The host told Mary to go clean up, she had a certain odor. Mary said that was because the only ride she could get back into town was with a pig farmer and told him to get the police to arrest Reggie for auto theft. Opal walked over and said Reggie had been with her all morning and couldn't have done anything to Mary. Mary furiously left and went to her room, where she was surprised to find Greenlee and Jack waiting for her. Greenlee just stared at her and Jack said she'd been looking for her. He tried to leave them alone but Mary made him stay. She did tell him he should discipline Reggie for telling her Jack and Erica had called off the wedding. She said he told her Jack was in the woods thinking things over so she went to see him, but then Reggie left her in the woods without her car. She asked if Reggie had at least given him her wedding gift. Jack was a little confused but told Mary to just focus on her daughter and left the room. Greenlee handed Mary the letter. Mary remarked, "So you know that the man who just walked out is your father." Greenlee said that Roger Smythe was her father. Mary tried to explain that she and Jack had been young when they met and that Jack was "my first." She said she was trying to do right by Greenlee and let her know her real father. She said Jack would love Greenlee, support her and be proud of her. Greenlee said she didn't believe her so Mary said "I swear to God!." Greenlee found a Bible and thrust it at her mother, "Do it! Swear to God that Jackson Montgomery is my father!" As Mary reached towards the Bible Greenlee pulled it back and said she didn't want to be struck by lightening. She started to put it back in the desk drawer and found the same stationery the letter Mary had written to Jack on. "You lied! The letter is a fake! My husband is dead, my father is dead and now so are you to me!" Mary admitted to faking the letter because Erica wouldn't let her tell the truth. She begged Greenlee to find Jack and tell him what Erica was doing. "Stop him before he makes the biggest mistake of his life!" Mary cried.

Downstairs Jack found Reggie and asked what happened to Mary Smythe. Opal told Jack that Reggie did them a favor and not to ride him too hard. Jack and Reggie walked away as Reggie explained his side of the story. Jack asked about the wedding gift and Reggie said he put it in the huge pile of gifts. Jack said they needed to find it because he didn't want Erica opening a gift from Mary. They searched the gifts but Reggie "couldn't" remember what it looked like. To change the subject he asked Jack if he could practice his toast. Reggie stood up and said that Jack had been good to him and he deserved the best. He said he didn't get Erica at first but now he sees what Jack sees in her. And if anyone doesn't want the best for my father "they can kiss my a**!" Jack cut in with a "Whoa there!" and told Reggie that he and Erica would love his toast. Jack said this was shaping up to be a fine day and mentioned the wedding ring. Reggie said "Ring? What ring?." Jack started to panic and said "you know, that black box I gave you this morning and told you not to lose!." Reggie pulled it out of his pocket and said "You mean this one? I was just messing with you!""
