"Brooke and Tad enter the church for Edmund's funeral. Brooke tells Tad that Maria asked her to speak at the funeral, but that she is still not sure if she should tell Maria the truth about Edmund's plans to destroy her. Ethan comes in the chapel, walks over to Edmund's casket and tells him that he destroyed the disk. JR shows up and go over to talk to Ethan. He tells him that he envies Ethan because he got a chance to put his enemy in jail. Ethan says that he wished he could have done it without Edmund having to die. JR seems heartless about the circumstances and tells Ethan to soak up the good feelings of revenge as long as he can. JR says that he wishes he could get the revenge on Tad, David, Babe and Jamie the way Ethan has on his father.
Anita goes to visit Zach and tells him that she hates him for killing her sister. Zach says that Maria's grief is not his fault. Anita hands him Edmund's obituary and at the bottom, she reads out the names of Edmund's children and wife. She asks him if he ever thinks about what he did to the children whose father he stole from them. Zach says that they have Maria, so they are not totally parentless. Anita informs him that Maddie and Sam think she is a murderer and won't speak to her. They are suffering and broken because of him, she says. Zach says that he has lost something too-his freedom. Anita tells him that she hopes the pain he has inflicted on her family keeps him warm at night and rushes off to the funeral.
Maria asks Lily what she saw wrong. Lily is quiet and Maria asks her if she saw Edmund's murder and if Zach really did kill him. Before Lily can answer her, Erica comes over and tells Maria to leave her alone. She tells her that she can not manipulate Lily to clear Zach's name or her conscious. Before Maria can respond, Jackson and Reggie arrive and they escort her back inside Wildwind. Maria tells Erica that Lily came to the barn because she was upset by the article in the newspaper and might have seen the murder. Erica tells her that Lily told her and Aidan that she not witness anything. Maria tells Erica to go home and Erica says that she can say her good-byes to Edmund privately before Maria storms off. Opal comes over and Erica tells her if anything happens to Lily, it is her fault because she leaked the news to the paper. Opal admits that she told a client about Lily witnessing the murder, but had no idea she was a reporter. Erica says that Opal has put Lily in more danger, but Opal does not understand, citing Zach is in jail. When Erica tells her that she carelessly thought about Lily, Opal rebuffs, saying that she has stood by Erica's side the many time she broke the law. Erica warns her to stay away from her family from now on.
Back at Wildwind, Lily tells Jackson and Reggie that she did not get lost. Reggie says that they are used to her sticking to a schedule and when she did something not on her schedule, it got them worried. Lily apologizes and says that she will stick to her schedule from now on. Sam comes in and tells Jackson that he was very rude to Lily. Sam goes over to Lily and apologizes for his behavior. Lily tells him that sometime she is rude too when there are other things to worry about. Erica comes in and spends time with Lily alone. She asks her if she saw Edmund die and Lily nod her head yes. Erica asks her if Zach is the one who killed him. Lily is silent and walks past Erica, looking at the floor.
Maria goes home and asks Sam and Maddie to come to the funeral. They are silent, but Maria pushes forward, saying that she will fight for them and love them, no matter how angry they are at her. The children walk off without telling her if they will attend the funeral. Tad comes over to see Maria. He tells her that she is going through a hard time, but needs to hold onto the memories of Edmund to keep him alive in her heart. He says that her friends, especially him, will need her twice as much since Edmund is gone. Sam and Maddie tell Maria they are going to the funeral. Sam asks if he can speak at it and Maria agrees.
Greenlee tells Kendall that she is not sure if Ryan is going to get past Braden alive.
Kendall tells her that she has nothing to worry about and if she wanted to, she could not have stopped Ryan. Greenlee tells her that being married makes her realize she has to take care of someone other than herself. She says that today is Edmund's funeral and she is worried that Ryan's will be next. Greenlee says that when she was drugged, she saw Ryan dying and her worst nightmares come alive. Kendall says that God has given her enough heartache and has moved on to someone else. Greenlee disagrees and says that God continues to put more grief on her. She says that when Leo died, she wanted to die with him and often thought about throwing herself over the waterfalls. She says that Ryan saved her from that and asks if Kendall would have stopped him. Kendall admits that yes, she probably would have not let him go after Braden, but that is one reason she didn't win Ryan's heart. Greenlee lets Ryan do his own thing without being a control freak, something she never grasped, Kendall says.
After the shots are fired, Ryan is thrown back into the cabin and falls to the ground. Aidan rushes over to check on him and after a few moments Ryan wakes up moaning. Ryan tells Aidan that he is fine, thanks to a bulletproof vest Greenlee got him and gave him that morning. Aidan checks out the cabin and tells Ryan that there is no sign of Braden. Ryan and Aidan go to Jonathan's room and find him on the floor, bleeding and screaming. Aidan finds a bloody knife on the floor and puts it in a plastic bag for evidence. Ryan asks Jonathan what happened. Jonathan says that he tried to stop Braden so Ryan would be alive, but Braden stabbed him. Ryan applies pressure to Jonathan's wound and tells him that Braden did not get to him. Jonathan is rushed to the hospital and Ryan calls Greenlee. He does not tell her about Jonathan, but says that is fine, but won't be able to attend the funeral. Greenlee is thrilled he is alive and Kendall gives her a hug. They leave and go to the funeral, while Ryan is being told that Jonathan's wound can be treated. When Ryan goes into to see him, Jonathan says that there is a bomb.
Erica goes to visit Zach and tells him that she knows he did not kill Edmund.
The funeral begins with Olivia singing at song. Tad is the first one to speak, reciting all of Edmund's journalistic insights and wonderful characteristics. He says, "He could always be counted on and make sense of how things happen. As they say the rest is silence and that's the truth because we all lost something incredibly precious to us.""
