"Ryan and Greenlee arrive in the Thousand Islands. They tour around the gardens, and Greenlee decides she wants the wedding outdoors. Upon mentioning that it feels like a storybook, and that there is a magical quality, Ryan flashes back to when Kendall told him that he was her future, and that she would marry him right then if she could. Greenlee, ever astute, notices that Ryan was lost in thought. He tries to pass it off as him just zoning out for a moment, but she wants to know what's wrong.

Ryan explains that he just wants to make sure that she feels she is doing the right thing. Greenlee tells him again that she completely trusts him. She takes him back to the previous Thanksgiving, when the two of them tried to have dinner with her extended family and how chaotic that was. She tells him that the only thing that saved her was when he took her in his arms and they danced. She wants their marriage to be like that – a dance, with them always in sync.

A short time later, they go to check into the hotel. Ryan asks for two rooms, and the clerk is confused because he thought they were getting married. Greenlee jumps in and says that she is superstitious and doesn't want him to see her in her wedding dress before the ceremony. They then continue the show by laying into a lip lock. When they part, they both look slightly stunned, as if the kiss opened the door to them feeling something unexpected.

The clerk gives Ryan a package that they had been holding for him, and Ryan believes they are the pre-nuptial papers. He asks the clerk if they had a notary – which they do. While the clerk goes to find the notary, Greenlee and Ryan head up to one of the rooms. Greenlee reviews the pre-nuptial agreement and she sees something amiss. She asks, "What the hell is this?"

After some cryptic banter back and forth, it's revealed that part of the agreement was that each spouse would surprise the other daily. They are both up for the challenge – and Ryan goes first. He presents her with a custom-made pink motorcycle helmet and a pink bandanna as her only protection against helmet hair. He also tells her that they match the bike he is having customized for her. Greenlee, completely loving her gift, says, "I love you Ryan Lavery!"

After her declaration, Ryan gets nervous and tries to use checking on the notary as an excuse to leave. Greenlee tells him she is worried – but only about him. She said that if he changes his mind and wants to call off the wedding, she wouldn't hold it against him. He tells her he has no reason to change his mind.

v The notary shows up, and Greenlee remembers that she does have a surprise for Ryan. She pulls out a motorcycle pen that she found at the airport.

Meanwhile, Simone and Kendall are on a private jet, and Simone tries to bring reality to Kendall. Kendall is just assuming that now because she can trust Ryan implicitly, he is just waiting for her to come around. Simone doesn't think that scenario is realistic – because he took off for a tropical island with Greenlee. She thinks that Kendall isn't considering Ryan's feelings. Undaunted, Kendall blindly believes that she can convince Ryan to take her back. Simone thinks that she needs to go along for protection – so they take off.

During the flight, Simone is still skeptical and Kendall thinks that she needs to be more supportive. Instead, Simone continues to be the realistic one and asks what Kendall would do if she gets there and finds out that Ryan and Greenlee had already slept together. Hurt by the suggestion, Kendall flippantly says that she would just have to forgive them both because she knows her place is with Ryan.

Kendall convinces the pilot to find out information of the flight plan of Ryan and Greenlee's plane – and lands in the same airport they did. He was also able to find out what hotel Ryan and Greenlee were staying, giving them a definite game plan to find them.

After they showed their IDs and sign the papers, they get notarized, and Phase One is complete. Ryan asks if she is ready for Phase 2, and she says, "There's nothing to stop them."

At that moment, Kendall and Simone arrive outside of the hotel.

At the hospital, Edmund is being a terrible patient – chasing the best physical therapist out of his room and throwing bedpans. He has his face covered when Anita comes in, and thinks the therapist is back. He starts to lay into another verbal lashing but when he realizes who it is, he stays silent. Anita said that she didn't scare very easy though he was welcome to try.

Edmund tries to give some angry story about how the therapist should be working on people that could actually benefit from his work – because his attitude and that his useless legs were as good as it was going to get. Taking it one step further, he says that if she didn't like it, she could walk right out the door.

Anita gives it to him straight – and tells him that he could choose to be bitter and angry, or to be happy with what he's got. She said that if he thinks that Maria loves him any less because of the paralysis – maybe he didn't believe in her, or love him as much as he says...because if he did, he wouldn't be acting this way. She leaves him to consider his next move carefully.

Tad visits Jackson at home and tells him that while they found Erica in Vegas, one thing was sure: she wasn't coming back to Pine Valley any time soon. He goes on to tell him that Bobby Warner is working at a casino, providing a complimentary room for Erica – and has her on the payroll as a dancer. Jackson is angry because although Bobby told him that if he knew anything about Erica he wouldn't tell her, he didn't think he was serious.

While looking at pictures taken at the casino, Jackson asks if Erica was drinking. Aidan told Tad that although he had seen her with drinks in her hand, she seemed to have it under control. Jack denies that she can, but given all she had been through – it didn't surprise him that she was living another life because of all the pain she was dealing with. He says, "This explains a lot" and Bianca overhears. She asks what the pictures explained – because to her, it said that Erica was a coward.

Bianca wants to know what Erica is doing with Bobby (suggests an affair) and further, how Bobby can do anything untoward given that he is constantly trying save his marriage to Anita. Bianca is furious because she says there is no excuse for Erica's behavior. Nothing is so bad that she should shut all of her family out – there is no reason for the way that she is treating Jack, Kendall or Bianca. Frustrated, she declares that she has given up on Erica, much to Jack's dismay.

In Vegas – Bobby is confronting Erica and telling her that her time in Vegas might be over. Curious as to what he means, Erica waits for more information. He finally lets on that a local newspaper has given her show rave reviews, and has mentioned her by name. She thinks this is great and doesn't understand why Bobby is so worried. He explains that with a review like that, people will come in droves to see the show, and he is sure she will get recognized. For Erica, Las Vegas is all about the risk, and she is ready to take it.

Switching gears, she asks him what he has decided with regards to funding the investment with his poker buddies. He's not sure he can take the risk, but Erica convinces him he should try. He goes to call Anita, but she cuts him off before he can even explain the venture. He is hurt, but she tells him that she knows him well enough to know when he wants to invest. He wants to risk it all (what he has saved from his job, what they have in savings, and what they could get for their car) but she is unwilling to support another venture. She said what she really needs is a man she can count on.

Later on, Anita runs into Aidan and asks again if he saw Erica with Bobby.

Dejected, Bobby goes back and talks to Erica – who still wants to bankroll him. She asks him what it's worth – and if he wants to take the risk so that once and for all, he can show everyone in his life that he is capable of coming out on top. He decides on a way to get started, and Erica shows her support by toasting him.

Back on the (Pine Valley) ranch, Jackson's rage is growing over what Erica's actions are doing to the family. He said that if she was drinking, and thus, out of control again, he wasn't sure that he was so willing to help her again. Tad reminds Jackson that what he said to Kendall was right: that if you really loves someone, you never stop fighting for them. Tad tells him to think about it, and then let him know what he wants to do about the investigation."
