Reva tells her daughter that her interference is impeding her decision to move on with her life. Marah tells her mom that they can talk later; she has to leave for the concert. Reva wont allow it. Marah tells her, "At this moment the concert is the most important thing in my life!" Reva ignores her and tells her again how she has to stop the interference. Marah must accept her parent's choices to move on. She should have other things on her mind like her education and college. Reva goes on and on until Marah asks her, "Why won't you let me go to the concert?" Olivia walks up to them from behind and says "Maybe because I'm the one who got you the tickets." Reva turned around stunned. "This isn't about you Olivia." Marah defends Olivia, and Olivia says one day really won't hurt anything but this is between them and she excuses herself and walks into company. Reva says she won't reward Marah for her deceit. Reva talk about tests and projects due soon in school and Marah says "You want me to do all of them NOW?" and Reva says yes because she doesn't want her to ruin her life. Marah said, "Oh come on Mom we all know that this isn't about me and my life this is about YOU and YOUR life!" Reva tells her how an education will open doors for her in the future and she cant give up. Marah said, "You're just mad because you always quit. You let things go. You let dad go too. I'm going home and don't worry I'll do my projects. Because I'm not giving up like you. " She gives the tickets to Reva and left in a rush. Olivia comes out and Reva waves the tickets in the air "Want to go to a concert?" Olivia politely says, "No, I'm actually on my way to meet Josh." Reva tells her that she isn't interested in an argument; she is focusing on other things. Reva says she had to figure out who she was. "You know what Reva, you're the one who left your family and Josh one too many times to go explore who YOU are." Reva said, "Wherever our lives lead us Olivia, Josh and I will always love each other." Reva said she isn't going to make a move but in the long run they will be back together. Reva goes inside Company. She knows that some of what Reva said is true. Inside, Reva is calming herself down. She says to herself, "It's not too late for me.

He tells her that it is blocked off but they can use it to hide in if they need to. Michelle wants to go in another room but Danny wants to wait for Cassie. Danny doesn't think Blake will turn them in and they'll get a boat and be out of here.

She asks, "What would happen if I stumbled onto Danny and Michelle, the fictional Danny and Michelle while in the palace. What should my character do? She says that "her character", vowed to never lie to her husband again and she wants to keep that promise so should she just come right out and tell him..." Ross seems to understand what she is saying and he says calmly "If an attorney finds out where fugitives are he will have to turn them in." "So that's a bad thing if my character would tell your character in the book..." and Ross says it would be an extremely bad thing.
Michelle and Danny are looking over some maps when they hear Drew's voice. They turn off the lights and hide behind the bookcase. Meanwhile, Cassie watches as Richard and Drew go in. Drew thinks that all the maps being there is strange but Richard tells her that his father was real big on nautical maps and charts. She is disappointed and says she is ready to leave.

Richard says, "Just tell me." Cassie continues, "Danny and Michelle called me from their boat and I really believed in their innocence and I offered to help them. " "I see." and Cassie says, "well..." Richard says "they were in there" and Cassie apologizes for not telling him. "I was afraid..." And she says that she knew it would hurt if he knew about it because of his country and she loves him. Richard bursts into the room saying, "It doesn't matter Cassie. Whether I know about it or not!
