"While Reggie is talking to some friends in the music store, Danielle approaches them and starts hanging all over Reggie. She tries to make it appear that they are actually a couple, despite the fact that Reggie is protesting. She shows off a tattoo of a crown that she got and explains that she did so because "Reginald" means "king" and that when they are together, Reggie wants her to call him "Kingman." As she starts to give too much information, his friends get uncomfortable and leave.

Reggie isn't taken in by her tattoo until she licks her finger and tries to wipe it off. He looks stunned when he realizes it's permanent.

Maggie comes in and says that she heard from Reggie's friend about Danielle's new tattoo, and wants to see. She keeps up the charade of them being in a relationship until Reggie calls her desperate. Offended, she says that she doesn't want to hang out with someone who can't take a joke, and leaves.

Once she's gone, Reggie admits that he isn't really angry with Danielle - he actually finds her quite funny. However, he can't let her get away with getting him in trouble with her father last week. Maggie volunteers to help him.

At the Fusion offices, Mary tries to convince Greenlee that she can and should get Ryan for herself. Assuming that Greenlee slept with Ryan when they were on their furlough from Pine Valley, Mary is at a loss as to why Greenlee hasn't claimed already. Greenlee admits that they didn't sleep together, and furthermore is not willing to scheme and trample over Kendall to get to him. Mary informs her that it would be seduction, not scheming.

After Mary is gone, David shows up, and is (as always) trying to discourage Greenlee from maintaining her friendship with Ryan. He offers up the idea that she sell her shares in Fusion and do something special for herself. Greenlee tells him that isn't an option, because Fusion was supposed to be that something special for herself. She likens it to when he wasn't allowed to practice medicine at PVH - he didn't take up another career because being a doctor is who he is, and what he does. She feels the same way about Fusion.

The, Greenlee asks him about Bianca. She wants to know if he thinks that she is responsible for causing Bianca's mental break, in which she stole the baby. She tells David that Kendall blames her, and it's been weighing on her. Not exactly answering her question, David just tries to assure her that everything is all right now and that Bianca is being treated for all that she has gone through.

Before leaving, David notes that maybe there is something Greenlee is missing: with all of the false starts and things that have gone wrong, does she really think she and Ryan are meant to be?

At Cambias Industries, Ryan and Kendall face off. Ryan can't believe that his future with Kendall depends on whether or not he is willing to cut Greenlee totally out of his life. Kendall is positive that this is the only they have a chance together.

Ryan tries to make Kendall see the differences in their relationships: the "corporate us" is a duo that would have to deal with Greenlee only in terms of the businesses; the "personal us" is just Ryan and Kendall against the world. He says that she needs to trust him completely to take that kind of leap. Kendall doesn't think that's enough. When Ryan looks as if he will question that, Kendall tells him that Greenlee wants more than friendship with him, and that she would stop at nothing until she got him.

Sensing that his past with Greenlee is a major source for what stands in their way, Ryan tries to equate it with her past. He asks her if he should be worried about Aidan or David. Flabbergasted, Kendall says, "Of course not!" Ryan tries to make her understand that they are as much of a threat to their relationship as Greenlee is, but Kendall will not budge. She says that he wants her to risk everything.

Ryan then takes the ring out of his coat pocket and asks her to take that risk with him - today. He said that once she does that, the rest is easy. Kendall keeps going back to her original request, not believing that Greenlee can be anywhere near them without everything falling apart. In disbelief, Ryan walks out.

At the hospital, Aidan hears Anita crying over a copy machine. When he asks her what's wrong, she tells him that Maria was, at that very moment, in Edmund's room, telling him that he'll never walk again.

Maria and Edmund sit together, without words, pondering what his paralysis will mean.

A little while later, as Maria is heading back to the room with ice cream, she runs in to Brooke. Maria tells Brooke that Edmund knows the surgery didn't work. Brooke seems to be at a loss for words, but asks Maria to convey her sympathies. Moments later, Brooke changes her mind because she thinks it will sound like pity. Maria thinks that it would be best if she takes Edmund's ice cream in so that they can talk.

After some idle chatter, Edmund admits to Brooke that he thinks Maria, in some ways, got exactly what she wanted.

Aidan and Anita are enmeshed in a fight. The subject of Erica has come up, and Anita starts flying off the handle about how Bobby and Erica went to Philadelphia, and how they were now together in Las Vegas. Aidan refuses to be baited, and tells her that he didn't bring her husband up - all he knew was where Erica was. He says that when he goes to Las Vegas, if he finds her husband, he'll knock him out because he hates that Bobby makes her feel so insecure about herself.

As music plays at the end, Kendall is still in the board room at Cambias Industries, looking lost and upset, obviously not having expected that Ryan would walk out on her. Meanwhile, Greenlee is walking around at the office when Ryan comes in and asks, "Will you marry me?""
