A man, looking JUST LIKE RICHARD checked into the Beacon. He seemed indifferent to Edmund and Cassie dancing and went to his room.

Edmund and Cassie were about to kiss until Tammy showed up and said, "What are you doing!?" When Edmund said he was just helping Cassie waltz, she said her mom already knew how and didn't need his help. Cassie apologized to Edmund and said she was using him. She forgot for a moment that he was Edmund and thought he was just a man. Edmund said he was happy that even if only a moment, Cassie had forgotten all the horrible things he had done to her and saw him as just a man. When Edmund left, the man that looked like Richard walked right behind Cassie and barely glanced her way when he stopped to pick up something off the floor. But when the violinist started to play Richards favorite waltz, he stopped and listened. Later, Rick stopped by to talk to Cassie about the memorial and Cassie confided in him about how she felt she was betraying Richard and told him about what happened with Edmund. Although he was not so supportive of Edmund, he agreed it was time for her to move on.

Alex was panicky over the letter she received. Lizzie came and tucked her in bed attempting to comfort her since she was visibly upset. When Lizzie walked out of the room, Alexandra saw a pair of men's shoes under her dressing screen! She panicked and ran over to it and it was only a pair of shoes, but they were Alan's shoes posed behind her dressing screen. Alexandra hollered at Nolan to get rid of the shoes and then locked her bedroom door. When she opened her closet, there was a note on her clothes that read "NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK" and the head was missing off the statue on her dresser. She called Edmund and pleaded with him to come over saying he was the only one she could trust. Edmund arrived and Alexandra asked for his help in finding Alan. He said he would IF she gave another large donation to Richard's library. Edmund had promised Cassie to raise a certain amount and was unable to do it.

Alan had another hallucination that Harley was really Alexandra and her smacked a drink out of her hand. They realized that the drugs had not totally left Alan's system and got the neighbor, who is an RN, to take Alan's blood. Harley talked Rick into testing the blood saying it was the blood of a witness. After Alan went to bed, Gus undressed Harley right there in the living room and made love to her on the coffee table!

Shane walked in on Marina in her underwear! Marina made him turn around while she got dressed and told him that the kiss they shared earlier was nothing and it was only excitement over the baseball deal. Shane was aggravated and only said, "Whatever you say." Lizzie talked Tammy into breaking her curfew and taking her over to see the museum. Marina was happy to see her and was catching her up on all the news. When she told Lizzie that the red convertible outside was hers and a gift from Ben, she warned her not to tell anybody because Frank would blow a gasket. When Frank showed up at the museum, it seemed like Lizzie was purposely trying to get her in trouble because she said, "Thanks for offering to take me home." And Frank started questioning Marina over that statement and figured out that the car sitting out front was hers. Frank couldn't believe it and drug Marina out, scolding her.
