She said that Lizzie's eyes were so big and that she had to pretend everything was ok. ."..but there will be more tests and more needles and it'll get harder and harder on Lizzie...I don't know if I can hide how scared I am..." Susan tells him that she doesn't thinks he can understand. He says he does and they hug. Susan is still feeling really bad. She says this whole thing all started with them. Max tells her that Lizzie didn't get sick because you wrecked the car. Max says it was actually a good thing because they found out what she had and they are treating her now.

He tells her that Lizzie's parents will not be able to do that but Susan is her big sister and she has to be there for Lizzie. "Lizzie needs you to be yourself..."

She says he doesn't have to pack right now. He has to go, he says and she asks if he really "has" to. She'd like him to stay if he could and he says he will for a while. Drew says, "I've been walking passed the places we've been together all day...trying to figure out what happened to me...I thought after Michelle was convicted I'd somehow feel satisfied and it would help me to put all this behind me, but...it hasn't. The other day in court you said I was happy and I just want to say you were wrong. I feel madder and sadder. The only friend I have ever had could get the death penalty, my father is still gone and I'm losing you." Jesse responds that they have been losing each other for a long time now.
They were talking about how they were ready to get married. She asks him to come back home. He says that he has been dying for her to say that but he can't. He can't go through this again. Drew tells him that she was still having nightmares about her dad and reaching out for him but he isn't there. She says she doesn't want to wake up in the morning cause she knows he won't be there and it feels wrong. He tells her that all his inspiration was gone. He can't draw anymore. He misses her as much as she misses him. "Everything that allows me to create just died without you." Drew tells him to move back in and they would start over. Jesse says they can't do that and pretend nothing happened. "Look maybe you've changed but one thing hasn't. I still think Michelle is innocent. Can we ever get passed that?" Drew and Jesse talk honestly about Michelle being part of their life for a long time. Drew says that she knows all the things she did to get between him and Michelle. She understands that he might still love her because she was his first true love. He doesn't deny. They kiss and hug and she asks him not to leave.

Drew and Jesse make love. They both think it feels right to be with the other. "Holding you like this just makes me want to pick up where we left off before things got bad." she says. They want to forget all their problems so things can be like old times. Jesse isn't sure they can. "Because it's not just us Drew and they don't just disappear." Drew says, "You mean...she doesn't disappear. Michelle doesn't disappear..." Jesse tells Drew that without Michelle he would have never been able to fall in love. He would have never been able to fall for the right person. He tells her that he has to prove to everyone that Michelle is innocent. "The question is are you going to be able to live with that?" "I wish I could...but I can't." she says and they look at each other. Jesse gets up and takes his box and leaves. Drew stays there in bed in tears and Jesse closes the door. "I'm scared..." she sobs and hugs her pillow.

Everyone's lying but you?" he says and Carmen denies all of it. "Look, you have done a lot of horrible things but you are still my mother and I don't want to see you go to prison. I will help you but you have to be honest with me, do you love us as much as you do. Why did you shoot Ben?" Danny tells her that the cops are on their way to talk to Vanessa and it will be her word against Vanessa's and they will believe Vanessa. "You have one choice, I can help you out with the cops, hold them off so you can get out of here or throw you at them...I'm the only person who can help you now. Tell me everything and we can work through this, and be a family again. I will work on forgiving you. Please..." "Alright, I'll tell you what you want to hear." she says as Danny is in tears.

Danny asks for the truth and Carmen asks again if he will forgive her. He says he will try. She just wants him to stop hating her. He hates what she has done but he will always love her, she is his mother. They hug and Carmen says she knew he wouldn't turn his back on her.

"Bad timing Marah Bad timing!" Josh tells her. Olivia apologizes to Danny and he says it's not her fault. Frank and Danny close the door and keep Carmen in. Frank says he has the conversation on tape. "Why were you so desperate to see Vanessa?" Danny asks her. "Everyone knows you're lying. Carmen wants to leave but Danny gets in her way. "Oh no. I'm not finished with you yet!" Danny tells Carmen to sit down. She says she is disappointed in him. Danny tells Frank he can leave. Danny tells her not to fear him, "I won't touch you...you are important to my plan. You will be Michelle's get out of jail card and then we will have our future together! A future without you!"
Carmen tells Danny that Michelle is the one who ruined his life. "I'm your mother Danny and you will never stop loving me!" Danny tells her when he heard Pilar on the stand he realized Carmen would sacrifice her daughter's health and her son's love for her freedom and he lost all love he had for her that day. "When I look at you I don't see my mother, I see my enemy. And thank you in advance for what you'll do for Michelle." He leaves. "What are you planning Danny..." she mutters.

Josh wanted to know what they were talking about and Marah told him that she talked to Olivia the other night and she had admitted that she conned him into sleeping with her and she planned on making him marry her. Olivia tells Josh that Marah was tape recording her so she said a lot of things to teach her a lesson Marah goes on and on. Olivia tells her that she wasn't going to say a word about the other night, but since Marah brought it up she was going to tell Josh exactly how "Devious" his daughter is.
Olivia tells him about how Marah was recording and she knew it. Marah says it wasn't like that and Olivia says no it was much worse. Josh wants to listen to both of them but Olivia says this is the thanks she gets for always being nice to Marah. Marah yells at her dad for being on Olivia's side, but he tells her he is on no ones side. Marah yells that she is on her mom's side and always will be and storms out. Olivia apologizes to Josh for getting so angry because she knows it is tough for Marah but they can work with her. Right now, she thinks Josh is letting Marah get in the middle of their relationship. "Your kids pull the strings and you feel guilty. You still feel like you're cheating on Reva."
Olivia tells Josh that a part of him agrees with Marah and she knows it. "What do you want me to do?" he asks. All she wants is to know that when he is with her he is with her. "Prove to me I'm not an antidote to help you get over her or a substitute for Reva." He says she is not. She doesn't want him to say anything just to look at her and she says the things Marah wanted her to say on the tape about a life with him, she DOES want them but later. "I do want a future with you, someday. I am not trying to pressure you but I have to say this. Sometimes I'm trying to tell myself that you will love me someday but I know that this won't happen. You will not fall in love with me because you won't let yourself." He says he cares a lot about her and does want this to be love in the near future and she cups his face and says she knows he means it. She knows he wants it to be true..."But I'm not sure it's every going to happen."
Marah is outside, angry. She gets her phone out and calls her mom. Marah tells her that everything is going wrong. Reva asks what happened. Marah twists everything Olivia says and re-tells her story once again her version and Reva can't believe it. "I secretly taped her and she got really mad." Reva says she shouldn't have done that to Olivia. Marah says Josh threw her out of the house to be inside with Olivia and Reva got a bit upset by that.
Josh tells Olivia that he loves being with her and the time they spend together. This relationship is very important to him. She says she is sorry; this has been a crazy night. The best situation to bring out her worst insecurities she laughs. She says she should go and he asks her to stay for a bit. The phone rings and it's Reva! She tells him that she heard about the dramatics at the house and that Marah put her own spin on the whole thing and she'd like to hear his. They talk about what happened. "Ok when everything fell apart we came back to the house and Marah and Olivia said some things perhaps they shouldn't have" Josh says it won't happen again...Olivia is in tears when Josh tells Reva he agrees Olivia should not have said things like that to Marah and she leaves. Marah says, "I hope you didn't come out here to talk to me!" she tells Olivia and Olivia laughs and says "Don't worry about it kid." and leaves.

Michelle says there is, he has to be there for Danny because he is alone right now. "He gave up everything he knew to be with me because he had faith and nothing worked out and now he has nothing. She tells him that she has filed for a divorce and that he needs to be there for Danny to help him accept it and move on. "I want you to promise me that you will be there and won't let him do anything desperate." He agrees. Ray watches Michelle and asks her what she is thinking about. She admits that she wished she had given him a child. "He loves children. I remember a time when things got mixed up and he thought I was pregnant and he was so happy. Michelle feels that she only brought pain to Danny's life but Ray told her that she brought a blessing to his life. She asks him to promise her he will not let Danny get back into the family business after this. "He will be very angry and will need someone to help him." Michelle cried when he says he would help Danny. Ray leaves and Michelle thanks him. She cries and says, "I'm so sorry Danny...I'm so sorry for what I have to do." she gets up to leave but Danny is there and she smiles and says hi. "I didn't expect to see you so soon." Danny smiles and says, "Are you kidding?" He says he missed her and he touches the glass and Michelle looks at him without saying a thing, a tear slowly rolling down her face. She has a sad little smile on her face and she touches his hand but doesn't say anything and he tells her that he missed her and smiles at her.

At Millennium:
Bernard tells Danny that he will get Michelle out of jail if he marries Theresa. Danny says, "You got to be kidding me right?" D says he was with Theresa when they were kids and its over. Danny asks Bernard if he had talked to Theresa about this. Bernard said that this really had nothing to do with love but about honor. He said that Danny dishonored his daughter when he left her and this is his chance to make it up to her, and to him. "Bernardo I can't live without my wife. I'm not fighting for her just to leave her afterwards this is crazy!" Bernardo says this is the deal. Danny says he is exactly like his mother and he can't understand why he came to him in the first place. Bernardo says because you know I can get her out..."you know I can fix it and make it go away. All you have to do is what you promised years ago and marry my daughter. Think about it Danny, I am your wife's last chance."
Danny gets up to leave and tells him that giving up his wife is like killing himself. Bernardo asks him to sit back down. "This isn't about your wife. I have nothing against her and personally I think she is innocent but she took you away from your family and destiny. Nothing good has come since you have married this girl." He says he would have had everything if he had married Theresa like he was supposed to. "I don't love her!" Danny says and Bernard says that it doesn't matter; Theresa loves you so it's a start. Danny says Theresa is a good woman and deserves to have someone who loves her. Theresa comes back and Danny wants to talk to her. He takes her aside. "Your father made the most insane suggestion, he wants me to marry you to get Michelle out of prison. Talk to him and tell him how crazy it is." Theresa tells him, "I don't think it's crazy. I'd love to be your wife."
Danny realizes that Theresa knew about this before Bernard told him. She said it was her father's idea but it was a good one. Bernard says he had to go make some calls and leaves them. Danny said, "Look you know I'm committed to Michelle for the rest of my life. I won't leave her for anyone." Theresa tells him that she has changed and it will be for the best. If he doesn't marry her, Michelle will never be free to see him and if worse comes to worst, she may even be sentenced to die. Danny was angry by this time and told Theresa it wasn't happening. Danny tells her again, "I will not marry you." Theresa replies, "You married her to save her life, you will divorce her to save her again." He says, "Never" and leaves.
Theresa breaks a glass she is so upset and Bernard comes back over to her.
Theresa tells him that Danny refused to marry her. Bernard tells her, "Of course he will marry you. It will just take a little convincing...trust me."

At Millennium:
Edmund walks over to Carmen and offers to buy her a drink. He compliments her and then offers to help her "take her mind off things" again that evening. He tells her that he is in an incredible mood. It seems as her reputation is bombing out, his is rising to the occasion. He tells her about his good luck and about how Gil found out about Richard just in time for him to stop the "accident." Carmen asked him if he was sure no one could ever trace anything back to them and he told her that all was under control.
Carmen goes over and greets Theresa and Bernardo. She tells them everything is fine now and her family will be back together soon. They tell her that is great and she tells Theresa not to give up on Danny that he will be free soon. She leaves and Bernardo made a comment about her not knowing what was going on. Theresa is still upset that Danny refused to marry her but Bernardo thinks he will come around. Theresa doesn't think so, so Bernardo picks up the phone to "make the call" to dispose of Danny since he disgraced his family. Theresa begs him not to and tells him that she still loves him. She says he loves his wife so much he won't marry her. "Michelle can rot in Jail for all I care."
Danny walks in and he tells Bernardo he has a new deals for them, all the operations to Bernardo for Michelle but Bernardo says no it's Theresa's hand in marriage or nothing. "No that's my final offer. If you say no, I go to your competitors." Bernardo says fine, but they can't deliver. "Marry my daughter or you will watch Michelle die on death row. Take it or leave it." Bernard leaves and Theresa gets up. "You shouldn't have threatened my father." "I'm not marrying you Theresa, I'm not." "Well then everybody loses." She says and she leaves. Danny bites his lip and takes a deep breath.

In Texas:
Gil is lying on the dock bleeding and Richard is pressing on his wound to get the blood to stop. Noah went to call an ambulance. "Hang in there Gil...listen to me...I want you to tell me who put you up to this..." Richard asks. Cassie asked Richard why he is questioning him now and he told her if Gil dies he takes the secrets with him. All Gil could manage to get out was, "He didn't want to hurt you." Richard asked him if he meant Edmund but that was all Gil said. Noah comes back and Gil is unconscious. Noah said he couldn't get through to the hospital and Richard tells him they would just have to carry him to get help. They start to pick Gil up when the cops arrive. He makes them all get on the ground and fold their hands behind their head.
The policeman gets Gil some help and comes back and tells the three that he will be fine and they had better be glad. Now at least they wont have a murder rap to deal with. He said, "What went on here tonight?" Cassie told the cop that Gil was attacking her and Richard saved her. Richard told him that he was the Prince of San Cristobel and the man laughed at him. Noah told him it was true but the cop told him to save it. Richard said he had proof in their room and asked the cop to go there. He amusingly said all right and they went back to Red's.
In the room, Richard got his suitcase and was digging through it. Cassie told Richard that he purposely left everything that would prove who he was at the Palace. Richard knows he must have something. Cassie told him that she called Harley and left a message for "HELP!" Richard finds the ring with the royal crest on it and produces it for the cop. He told Richard he got a ring just like that out of his cereal the other day. Noah told him that Richard is indeed the prince and that he is a doctor. The cop is very amused now and turned to Cassie. He asked what she was and she told him that she was the princess. They told him to call the palace. He did and said that the people told him that the Prince and Princess were on a cruise. The cop is just about to take the trio in to jail when another cop comes up and tells the first cop something. They open the door and Edmund walks in.

At the Jail: Michelle is still visiting with Danny. She tells him that she loves him but needs him to do something for her. She tells him that she needs him to go on with his life and to sign the divorce papers she is having drawn up. He gets upset and beats the phone on the table. He tells her that he will never leave her and he will never sign any papers. He will tear them up instead. Michelle told him that after she is sentenced she would be moved to the state prison 5 hours away. Danny told her that he would go there every week just to see her for the one hour she was allowed. She told him that she would refuse to see him and he told her that if she did that he would sit up there every week alone for the hour just to be near her. He tells her that they are still working on getting her out of there. Michelle told him that she has to accept that this is her life now. Danny said he will never accept it and that she will get out of there. The guard comes up to take Michelle back and they both call out to each other. The guard gets her past the door and Michelle faints.
Later, Rick comes in as they are calling for a doctor. He sees Michelle and goes to help. Michelle asks where Danny is and then tells Rick to tell him she can't see him anymore." Rick asks her, "Why what did he do to you..." "Nothing. Its because I love him and I have to leave him and divorce him please tell him.... tell him I'm leaving him please Rick you have to tell him.... tell him please..." Michelle cries out and he takes her in his arms.

At the Hospital:
Phillip is piling Lizzie's room full of toys and stuffed animals. Harley is with him. Rick comes over and Phil wonders why he is not with Michelle. He told him that he is going to see her but wanted to make sure everything was ready for Lizzie in the morning. Rick tells them that Lizzie is very strong and has a great team of doctors. He mentions the list of oncologists he gave Harley and Phillip freaked out. He hadn't heard anything about that and wanted to know what else was wrong with Lizzie that he didn't know of. Rick tried to tell him that everything was fine, but he didn't believe it. He yelled at Harley and Rick tells Phillip to calm down. He told him that they were just trying to get the best doctors. Phillip says he doesn't want conversation about his daughter's care behind his back and Harley tells him ok, she leaves to get some air. Phillip tries to stop her but she is already gone. "What the hell is wrong with me?" he asks and Rick stays silent. "Of course the people who are trying to help me the most I'm the hardest on..." Rick says it's not all about Lizzie's illness. Phillip says that is enough of a problem. Rick says the situation puts him (Phillip) in a difficult place, he is close to Beth again and she is clinging to him a little more but it's understandable because he is clinging to her too. Rick tells Phillip that he can't balance all of this; the pressure will get to him. "Harley just asked for a list of doctors to help your daughter and you snapped at her!" Rick leaves.
Harley comes back and Phillip apologizes. She tells him it is her fault. That she just married the wrong guy. She married the funny, gorgeous guy that worries and cares about his loved ones, not the other crappy one. She tells him that she wouldn't trade him for anybody. They kiss and hug.

At the Spaulding Mansion:
Beth comes in to see Lizzie. She is reading a book. Lizzie lies down on her mom and they talk about the baby. Lizzie thinks that the baby is sleeping. Beth asks how she knows and Lizzie tells her it is because she has a bond with her sister or brother all ready. Beth smiles. Lizzie told her that she wanted her to hold her but not to let her go to sleep just yet. Beth told her that she needed her rest and Lizzie tells her that she will get it; she just doesn't want tomorrow to come so soon.
Beth hugs her and Lizzie has tears in her eyes. She said "everything's going to be ok, right mommy?" Beth promised her that was right and Lizzie said that she knew it would be because her mom had never broken a promise to her.
Beth brushes Lizzie's hair and asked her if she would like to go shopping to get some new clothes and a few hats. Lizzie said that she didn't really like hats. Beth told her that the chemo may lead to her losing a little hair and it will be okay. She says it will grow back and in the meantime she can get all kinds of pretty little hats to wear. Lizzie told her okay and then she told her it was no big deal, it was just hair. Beth cries as she brushed the rest of Lizzie's hair. Beth tells her that her hair is beautiful but it is really what is inside that makes a person beautiful. Lizzie said she knows that, except for Butterflies. They are beautiful outside too. Beth smiled and told her that she was very smart. She told her it was time for bed and Lizzie said her prayers. "Dear God bless mom and dad and Jim and Susan and Harley and Nettie and Cook and Grandpa and Zack and the baby and everyone and please don't make mommy cry. Watch over me while I'm asleep. Amen." Lizzie says and Beth is in tears and she gets up and tucks Lizzie in the bed. She says, "Goodnight my sweet little butterfly." "Goodnight mommy." Beth turns off the light and leaves. Lizzie gets up and kneels down again. "Dear God mommy said you'd be watching over me tomorrow, I hope so, I'm really scared," she cries. "And I really will be the best sister in the entire world. Oh and what I said to mommy about my hair, I was just saying that so she wouldn't be sad but if it's not too much trouble, could I keep my hair? I really like it. Amen." She is in tears and goes back in her bed.
