He goes over to her table and says that she turned him down for dinner once, but now they are in the same restaurant. Abigail remembers him and she agrees to have dinner with him. He sits down and asks her about the YWCA and she tells him that there is no room for her and she has to wait for couple of days for there to be some room. Abigail asks Chris if he knows of any place that she can stay. He starts to tell her about the Yardley and then remembers that it has been torn down. She says that is just her luck. Chris tells her that he will give her a tour of the town and stay with her until tomorrow. She tells him that he can't do that, he doesn't even know her. Chris says that he is the finest cab driver in town and he will show her how fun Oakdale can be. She agrees. Chris takes her around Oakdale and shows her the highlights of the town. They end up at the park with a pizza and a blanket. Chris finally gets around to asking Abigail what her name is. She says that it is Daisy...Buchanan.

They start to eat the pizza and someone starts to play a guitar from an apartment nearby. Abigail and Chris enjoy being serenaded. When to guitarist stops, Abigail begins to yawn. Chris suggests that she come back to his place. She says her mother would have a fit and she doesn't know him that well. Chris gives her a piggy back ride to his cab. He tells her that she can crash in the back seat and he will stand guard and make sure she is safe. She decides to go with that suggestion. The both of them get into the back seat and she puts her head on his shoulder. She looks up at him and says, "Thanks, for everything."

She says that before he talks to her officially, she would like to talk to him, unofficially. She tells him about trying to trap Alec and planting the bug in his hotel suite.

Today's recap was provided by James Hammond
Carly and Emma bonded uncomfortably at the Snyder farm. Jack stopped by and spent some time with Carly.
Lisa argued with John and Tom over Margo's culpability in Alec's death. She tried to stop Tom from supporting Margo. Lisa later stopped by The Argus and informed Emily that Tom is out of his coma. Emily got peeved that no one bothered to tell her. She planned to publicize Margo's legal troubles, then changed her mind. She then visited Tom in the hospital, pretending to support Margo. Tom asked her to stay on top of things at the Argus.
Hal and Jessica prepared to interrogate Margo. Eddie showed up at the police station seeking answers and hurling accusations. He begged Margo to tell him that she didn't kill Alec, then ripped into her, thanking her for taking three parents from him (Dina, Alec and herself). Eddie snidely thanked Margo for leaving him with nothing to lose. Cass Winthrop showed up to represent Margo, also informing her that Alec is suspected of killing Vicky McKinnon. Georgia found Eddie in the park just as he finished reading about Alec's crimes. She consoled him after he admitted that he felt like a fool for believing Alec's lies. Eddie wondered if he could end up like his father. He told Georgia that his entire life has been bad, except for her, and forgave her for keeping his father's identity from him.
Lisa confronted Margo at the police station, telling her that she doesn't trust her and doesn't believe she loves Tom. She insisted that it would be best for Tom if Margo divorced him and told Margo she believed she was guilty of Alec's murder.
Margo gave her testimony to Jessica and Hal, including the fact that she handled Alec's gun and wiped her prints off of it before he returned to his hotel room and drugged her. Just then, the lab reports came in -- Margo's prints are all over the gun, including the trigger. Hal approached Margo and read her her rights.
Chris's dream of "Daisy" showing up on his doorstep is replaced by the reality of Molly. Bob informs Tom that Margo has been arrested. Margo worries about possible "surprises" and suggests to Cass they should plea bargain. Molly is pleased when Chris terms her article "tame" and "PTA worthy." Abigail, anxious to meet her biological parents, tells her mother she was distracted at dressage for thinking about them. Bob refuses to let Tom leave the hospital to help Margo.
Margo warns Cass about the minefields of her past: her confession to killing Diego Santana, her helping her stepfather Casey Peretti end his life and her PTS episodes. Furthermore, she helped Eddie evade arrest. Margo believes Jessica will use her past to portray her as a "rogue cop."
Over Bob's protests Tom gets dressed and staggers out of his room. Margo insists the most important thing to her is to have time to be with her sons and repair her marriage, despite Cass's reminder that if convicted it'll be the end of her career as a cop. After hearing about Holden's heroics at the studio, Lucinda advises a stressed Lily that Holden is the answer to her WOAK problems.
Molly is ecstatic when Diana Williams calls and agrees to meet her and Abigail at Holden's house that night.

But before Lily has a chance to prove her point by asking him himself, he gets a call from Abigail.
Jessica and Cass meet to discuss a plea bargain but are unable to agree on terms, with Jess insisting she can't give her friend any favors with so high profile a case. With Bob on his heels, Tom enters the police station and urges Margo not to take any plea. Margo plays devil's advocate and orates a damning argument against herself.
