Cris is surprised to learn that Natalie agreed to the arrangement, but believes the lie and is off to collect the food his girlfriend ordered. No sooner is he out the door that Jen picks up the phone to extend the invitation to Natalie, who is shocked by the gesture and tries to beg off explaining she has alot on her mind. Jen empathizes, saying she knows what she must be going through, as she is worried about her own Mom being on the run. Besides, she wants to make amends for the insensitive way she had been treated and her presence would make Cris very happy. Finally, she is worn down by her hostess and accepts the invitation. Jennifer hangs up, satisfied that her efforts to conceal the contempt she harbors for her nemesis was sucessful. Al stops by the loft and is surprised to learn it was Jen's idea to invite Natalie to dinner. Knowimg better, he asks Jen what's up. She answers that she hates Natalie and would rather have her in her sights than alone with Cris. He likes this foreign side of her. Jen isn't sure if Nat set the fire, however, she is positive Cris is heavily influenced by her and doesn't know what to make of the alibi. She is positive, though, of her motives and wants to see Natalie squirm. Al advises her to be careful and asks if there is any news about Lindsay. She replies that she hasn't heard anything. But now she could understand how her mother might have been provoked by betrayals and lies into doing the things she has, and that Lindsay was probably disgusted with being mad all of the time and chose to get even with those people that hurt her.
Cris returns from the restaurant and catches Natalie outside of the apartment. They both agree that they couldn't get around Jennifer's plans for the evening.

Lindsay starts to make her way to the basement, but her partner prods her back up the stairs, explaining she had found a weapon and fired it. Terrified by what the crazed woman might do next, she phones R. J., leaving a message that Allison has become unglued and needs his help to get away from her. Allison steals behind Lindsay and grabs the phone out of her hand. The frightened woman contends that she is worried about her daughter and was trying to contact her.

Keri wants to return the engagement ring to Antonio, but he won't accept it. He implores her to reconsider breaking up with him, but it is he, she responds, who is leaving her. He explains he will always be a cop and can't help being suspicious of her father. Keri tells him that the larger issue is he won't believe her and still thinks she is lying to alibi R. J., beyond that her father will always be a divisive influence in their lives. Antonio claims to have ruled out the possibility that she is lying, and reminds her of their love for one another. It isn't enough she says, because his hatred for her dad out weighs his love. She could not endure his questioning her veracity in the future since she is an honest person and a part of R. J.. No matter how much he reasons otherwise, her argument remains, why start something that is doomed to fail. In tears he besieges her not to leave him and refuses to accept the ring, telling her to keep it. She can't, as it represents a hope that will not come to fruition. Crying, she leaves the diamond symbol of their love on the counter and heads toward the door. He imagines his proposal and their time on Maui, while he holds the ring and tosses the counter screaming "damn you R. J.."

Buchanan realizes that this occurred at the same time that Jen was at the hospital. He just can't believe the prisoners split up. Ben recalls that Allison paid him a visit at the same time. He's concerned about Viki being found by Allison. R.J. stomps in and demands that Antonio stop calling Keri. The police officer orders him out but tells him that he will prove that R.J. was involved in the prisoner break. R.J. taunts him, Antonio pushes him and soon the men are physically fighting. After they're pulled apart, R.J. tells Bo that he will be pressing charges and stalks out. Bo tells Antonio he's off the case and wonders why he always lets R.J. provoke him.

A bubbly Jen exclaims that she wants to celebrate the three of them being friends and runs off to get her camera for some pictures.

When she receives a phone call from Antonio seeking out Cris she urges her boyfriend to go to his brother as he sounded upset. She makes sure to give him a big kiss and tells him she can't live without him. Cris gives her an uneasy smile. The girls sit down for some tea and Jen lays it on thick. She knows how people lean on Cris, she explains. Girls always have crushes on him but Cris is very loving to her and never even looks at anyone else. She thinks that because Nat was dumped by Seth that perhaps she has a crush on Cris too. Nat disagrees as Jen continues that she and Cris have a deep connection and she doesn't want Nat hurt. Jen goes into great exaggerated detail on her love/sex life but Nat states that her headache has gotten worse and she really needs to leave. After she's gone Jen announces to the air that she's not finished with her yet.

Blair says she explained their working relationship to her and suggests that anyone who thinks anything otherwise is crazy. Chad agrees that he only works for her now.

Antonio says he wants to prove R.J. helped them and Bo tells him it isn't about what he wants. Antonio tells Bo the case will not be compromised, he promises. Antonio then says, "Now what's up?"

Asa is yelling on the phone to the television studio threatening if they run that interview about Rae Cummings again he will sue their station for every penny they have. He slams down the phone and says that is the end of it as Nigel walks in. He says he has met every one of the demands on the damn list. He throws the wadded up list across the room. Nigel picks it up and Asa says he has dropped his civil suit, taken the website off the internet (www.GretalisaFraud.com), taken the interview off the television station and now they are done. Nigel says "She does have both of us – you and me". Asa replied back "go ahead and say it Nigel – She has us over a barrel". Asa is still angry, as he fixes himself a drink he is ranting about how "Rae thinks she has won but at least he won't have the FBI crawling all over him. Nobody needs to know how I got my fortune and I intend to keep it that way even if I have to make nice to this phony quack". Nigel adds, "Let sleeping dogs lie". He adds "But how can you be sure she will play nice with you?"

In the Buchanan cabin, Allison has tied up Niki/Viki. Lindsay is worried about being killed by Allison, but Niki/Viki says not to worry, they are worth more to Allison alive than dead. Allison overhears and says, "So not true and I don't care!"
Nigel is worried saying "Aside from a lobotomy how can they be sure Rae will keep her word?" Asa says "Nigel don't start, Gretel would have chewed off her arm to get out of the mess she was in, I gave her everything she wanted. I am not going after her in public, I am not suing her into the poor house and in fact I am staying as far away as I can from her and she will not publish that exposé." He crumples up and throws the list of demands from Rae saying "well that is done". He smiles saying it sure was fun tormenting her, while it lasted. Rae/Gretel is telling Renee about how Asa was her patient and really opened up to her, but they are interrupted by Shawna and Mollie, who are questioning how she got the hospital to drop the lawsuit. Renee misunderstands and thinks Asa is being a good man once again and she is delighted, saying this is what she has wanted for so long – an absolute miracle, thanking Rae for all her help counseling him. She tells Rae she can stay at the Palace as long as she wants. Rae tries to stop her but Renee rushes out saying when Asa faked his own death it was Rae who told her he was hiding his feelings. She assures Rae that she is welcome at the Palace forever as she runs out and Rae says, "I don't think so".
Bo and Antonio are searching Rae's house and realize that Allison and Lindsay have not been gone long; maybe an hour or two as there is fresh food on the kitchen table. They are down in the basement and realize something happened down there, as it was such a mess, knowing Rae was so organized she would not have left it that way. Bo has a gut feeling and says he knows something happened down there – a struggle. He knows Lindsay is not violent, her weapon of choice is manipulation, but that Allison is another story –"I pity anyone who gets in Allison's way". He looks around the basement trying to find clues.
Allison is so paranoid, she thinks Niki/Viki and Lindsay are in cahoots and tells Lindsay not to even look at Niki/Viki and she calls Lindsay a Judas, saying she just lies to her and she lied to her about Dave, that she isn't her friend. Allison says everyone is against her and if Lindsay keeps looking at Niki/Viki she will blindfold her. Lindsay says "You wouldn't be here if not for me". Niki/Viki says she would make a better partner than a hostage. She tells Allison that everyone will be looking for her and they would pay big bucks to get her back, skies the limit. Safe passage for her to get across the border – "What do you say, can we cut a deal?" she asks Allison.
R.J. comes over to Max's house and Al is questioning the fact that Roxy has left without a fight and Max says she is gone; R.J. comes in and says, "You didn't do what you suggested did you? Max says, "You think I killed her"? God no!" R.J. replies, "Good, I can't get mixed up in your mess, I got enough trouble of my own".
Antonio is still saying that whoever helped Allison and Lindsay had to be a local and it is R.J. that helped them and says he is sure his prints are all over. He reminds Bo about the money clip, Bo tells him to be careful, one slip and R.J. walks. Antonio tells Bo that he and Keri have broken up and it is over. Bo tells him he cannot have another altercation with R.J. and that he cannot let anyone's emotions get in the way of this investigation. Antonio says he won't lose his emotions again because he will nail R.J. and then get Keri back. Bo says one step at a time. Antonio says he wants to find Allison and Lindsay more than ever and they will implicate R.J. Bo stops him, saying that is why he wanted him off the case and says go upstairs and search. Just then Bo sees scratches on the floor. He says something was dragged either down or up. He looks around the room and sees the trunk. Bo opens the trunk and finds Roxy inside unconscious.
Allison has tied up Lindsay to a chair and Lindsay is begging her, saying Sam will get her off. Niki/Viki says she is the one that can help her, that Sam won't help Lindsay. They keep bickering back and forth and Allison says, "I know what I am going to do." Lindsay tells Allison there should be a reward since she is an escaped convict and that Allison can have the reward. Niki/Viki says "Lindsay stupid, she's an escaped convict too." She takes Niki/Viki, ties her to a chair and says she is going to leave the cops a nice little present of two blonds. Niki/Viki says "and where are you going" Allison adds, "anywhere I damn well please." Lindsay says she can't just leave them there and Niki/Viki says to shut up, at least she isn't killing them. Allison takes Lindsay's cell phone and says if anyone is looking for her tell them she has gone where they feed blondes to the lions for lunch. Lindsay tries to get Niki/Viki to work with her. She says, "quit calling me Viki, I am Niki Smith and I work alone."
Troy wants to go back to the cabin but Nora is insistent, putting blankets out on the ground saying it is better than the rusty springs on the bed. She learned all about camping from Hank as they went camping a lot when they were married. They are sitting on the blanket with Nora saying how nice it is when a relationship ends that you walk away with something and look back years later and you just feel warm. Troy is thinking back about Joanna and says he never had that experience and Nora says "Well since you have never been married you will have to take my word for it". Troy has a faraway look on his face.
Nigel gives Asa the final printout of the www.Gretelisafraud website. Renee comes in saying, "You big hunk of Texas bluster, I am so proud of you. I heard all about it from Rae Cummings, you got the hospital to drop the lawsuit, you cancelled the website" and she says she takes it as a sign that he is still the man she loves – the man she once loved. She says that if Asa can give Rae a second chance then she can give Asa Buchanan a chance. He adds, "What makes you think I want to give you a chance"? She says maybe with some more therapy. He says "Renee meet me at the Palace in an hour and wear something I like". Nigel says it will be wonderful to have Ms. Divine back in their lives. Maybe something good will come out of all this.
Shawna and Mollie are giving Rae a hard time at the Palace bar and Rae asks if they are old enough to be in there? Shawna is saying she is not dropping her lawsuit, in fact maybe she will call her lawyer to up the stakes, saying "Hey Mollie how about another round of drinks." Rex is hitting on Mollie and Mollie says whatever Shawna wants, she gets. Rex says he has Jessica's sports car and invites her out; she gives Shawna her drink and Rex and Mollie leave. Shawna adds that she is going to ruin Rae, and she can't wait and leaves. Rae calls someone and says, "It is me, are you sure you know what time to be there – ok we are all set."
Lindsay realizes Viki is really Niki and says, "oh well, we still need each other." They are jumping up and down in their chairs trying to untie each other, arguing who will untie whom first.

R.J. tells Max that if he had done something to Roxy he would cover for him and leaves. Max asks Al if he thinks something really happened to Roxy? Al asks Max if R.J. was serious about Max hurting Roxy and Max assures him he didn't hurt her. He replies that he doesn't know but she didn't take very good care of herself. Al is reading the paper about "No suspects in the Rapapports fire" saying people get away with crimes all the time. Max assures him he did nothing to her and that the last time he saw her she was going to take the trophy bowl back to Rae's house and she was pretty wasted.
Bo and Antonio are interviewing Roxy and she is babbling about the knot on her head and she is telling them about how she was bringing back the "bowl" since she had taken it for safekeeping, going on how she was trying to do the right thing to please Max. Antonio keeps interrupting her asking her about Lindsay and Allison. She says "I don't know nothing about Lindsay" that it was Allison that put her in the trunk, "she left me there for dead." She yells at Antonio again about getting off her back, she notices her watch is broken and that it must have broke when Allison shoved her in the trunk. Bo notices the time on it and Antonio leaves knowing how long Allison has been gone. Roxy is sitting on the couch saying, "Hey what about me, did anyone report me missing?"
Nora and Troy are talking about going on a great vacation as soon as Lindsay is put back in jail and Nora mentions she is a little cold and going in for a jacket, but how inviting the water looks but guess it is probably very cold. Troy has memories of Joanna saying, "Troy is that you", "Yes its me." She is laughing at him and he says "stop it Joanna." She replies you can't stop me - make me - make me and he says to himself "but I did stop you Joanna, I really did." Nora comes back with a sweater and asks if he is ok. He says yes, it is just the water. She thinks he is remembering that she almost drowned and he says he just can't get it out of his mind, that he doesn't know what he would do if he lost her. She says I can't think of a worst way to die than drowning and Troy says neither can I.
Back at Asa's house Nigel hands Asa a flower and says give it to your date. Rev. Carpenter comes in and saying to Asa, "You know why I am here, isn't that why you are all dressed up. Am I early?" Asa says "come back at Christmas, that is when I give to charity." In comes Rae with a bouquet and dressed in white and says, "Asa you know why he is here don't you? Rev. Carpenter is here to marry us."

Allison comes in and says her car broke down and her and Niki/Viki start arguing. She says it must have been a sign that she was to finish off them. Niki says, "Allison you can't use that gun – you are out of bullets, I counted them." Allison says, "Niki you must have flunked math class, I have one bullet left and the big question is which of you should I use it on Lindsay or Niki/Viki?????"
With Rev. Carpenter at her side, Rae informs Asa that she is to take her place as the next and tenth Mrs. Bucanhan. The perspective groom meets her announcement with amazement and balks at the incredulous notion of marriage. Rae requests that Nigel and Andrew give her a private moment with the groom to be. Once alone, Asa reasons that he has met every last one of her demands. She holds a differing position, relating that Shawna and her friends are going forward with the civil law suits against her. He promises to make the problem disappear or at the very worst pay any monetary damages. His offer does nothing to deter her intentions, as the broader problem is that she doesn't trust he will keep his part of their bargain. Besides, she reminds him of the relentless campaign he waged against her, and wants to prevent him from ruining anymore lives. As lady of the manor, she will impose on him the same misery he did her, and there wouldn't be any need to blackmail him for money since all he owns will be hers and everything she possesses his. Asa points out she hasn't any assets, with that she waves the audio tapes of their therapy sessions at him, indicating that's what she is bringing into this sham of a marriage. Andrew interrupts their conversation inquiring if they are prepared to begin the ceremony. Asa seeks out the counsel of his butler, who suggests he suck it up and get on with it. The beleaguered tycoon instructs the Reverend to begin the ceremony.

His plan is to lavish his wife with attention and keep her occupied so that he may obtain the elusive divorce he is so desperately seeking. Bo makes another phone call.
Rex and Molli are furiously locking lips near the Bucanhan cabin, when he abruptly breaks the mood by asking if Shawna had ever been there. The girl is taken aback and asks if he finds her friend attractive. He responds with diplomacy saying they are both hot. She accuses him of wanting to be with her so that he might gain access to Shawma, adding that's the reason why most guys pretend to get close to her. She storms off, leaving him behind.
Ross notices a change in the wind direction, and seems visibly disturbed by the occurrence.
Todd had told Téa that he couldn't forget her. She wants to know for sure, from him, if he can admit those feelings out loud. He says he can, and besides he thought they had already gone through that and agreed they were each on the same page. Having settled the issue, he wants her to help him win Starr and Jack from Blair. This leads her to think he may be using her, but Todd reiterates it is her he wants. She is reluctant to give him her trust and inquires once more if she is being used and wants to be sure he hasn't any residual feelings for Blair.

Gabrielle silently listens in on the conversation at the door. She hears her son agree with the girl, even encouraging her notion. Jessica hopes she is wrong and Al expresses his sympathy. Just then Gabby lets her presence be known. Her son continues, the police are concentrating their resources on looking for the wrong person. Gabrielle is sincere when she tells Jess she hopes her mother will be found. She thanks Al's mother for her good thoughts and leaves. Gabrielle notices something is terribly wrong with her son and is intent on learning what it is. She insists on knowing why is so quick to think Viki is the arsonist and remembers he had blamed Natalie for the fire. He retorts that the scenario Jess theroized makes perfect sense.

She quickly collects herself and says she has decided who would die. Her announcement is interrupted by a knock on the door.
