Beth offers to meet with them or have them sent away, but Harley knows that neither option would make her look favorable and states that she'll meet with them herself.

Edmund arrives at the farm replica in a very good mood. Dinah asks about the pills and is devastated when he reveals that he couldn't get them because of Jeffrey. Dinah tries to talk some sense into Edmund by telling him that he won't get away with this--that someone will figure this out, but Edmund is certain that everything will work out for him.

He then tells her that he plans on getting Jeffrey to stay away from Cassie by making Jeffrey believe that Cassie and her family are in danger because of him.

A very upset Marina's at Company ranting to Buzz about the news that Michelle told her. Not only does she know that Michelle is moving to California but she also knows that Michelle is still in love with Danny.

Marina ultimately talks herself into being honest with Danny. She goes outside (where Danny is waiting) and tells him about Michelle's moving to California. As expected, Danny is upset and wants to go off to confront Michelle. Marina asks him to kiss her before he goes. After giving her a kiss, Danny heads off to see Michelle.

Marina knows Danny was not with Michelle, yet Michelle insists that Danny delivered the baby. Buzz chalks it up to Michelle being delusional that night and seeing what she wanted to see. He also thinks Marina is letting her mind go into overdrive due to the fact that she's studying to be a cop (not to mention that her feelings for Danny are causing her to worry) He advises her to just let it go and focus on the here and now. Marina concedes that Buzz makes perfectly good sense, but states that she as to get to the truth.

As Rick continues to try to persuade Michelle to stay, Danny suddenly arrives. Danny's upset that Michelle is leaving; he accuses her of running away from her life and abandoning her son. Michelle tries to convince him that she has to go, but he admits that he doesn't want her to go away. He tells her that he wants her to stay for their son's sake. He's concerned about how this will affect Robbie. Danny's words about not wanting to handle "the fallout" have an affect on Michelle and she starts ranting about their hectic past. She tries to get him to admit that his life was only calm when she was gone, but he doesn't want to hear that. An upset Michelle then confesses that she can't stay because there's too much between them. She can't deal with the fact that he's with somebody else. As an upset Danny tries to convince her that they can't go back, she tells him that she feels lost without him. She then kisses him passionately, a kiss that he returns.

Edmund returns to the farm replica in a sour mood after having seen Jeffrey with Cassie. He brings Dinah her food, which she isn't sure is safe to eat. To prove that it's not poisoned, Edmund eats from the plate himself. Suddenly, Edmund and Dinah both hear a noise outside.
