"In her Enchantment office Erica welcomed her newest employee, Lena. Chris stormed in and told Erica that Enchantment was going under and it would be deader than Enron in a week. She thought he was joking and told Lena he had a strange sense of humor. Chris said he wasn't kidding around and Erica sent Lena to personnel. After she was gone Erica asked Chris what was going on. He was furious when he told her that one of Jordan's people called him to set up a physical for his new job. Erica admitted to talking with Jordan about a position for Chris. He was livid and told her that since she was choosing what job he should have he had done the same for her and that tomorrow she was starting at Macy's. Erica tried to explain that Jordan had an empire and that he needs Chris to head up the security operations. Chris wondered how she got Jordan to offer him the job but she said Jordan wanted Chris because of his background. Erica said she knows he saw her with Jordan and that he's just jealous. Chris said "Get over yourself! I'm not jealous, I'm angry at you!." He said he liked his job just fine and was mad that she flirted with someone to get him a job. Erica said she was just using her "God-given assets." Chris asked if she would be happy if he did the same thing. Outside the door Lena listened in. Boyd walked up and wondered why she was eaves-dropping. She denied this, saying she was waiting for Erica to show her where her new office was. They introduced themselves and she began to flirt with Boyd. Lena asked him to show her around Enchantment and they walked away. Inside Erica told Chris she didn't flirt with Jordan. Chris didn't buy it and told her that she has to understand what line she crossed and that if she does it again "this husband-to-be walks." Erica asked "Is it your way or the highway?" and Chris replied "You got it babe!" and walked out of the office. Erica threw a folder at the door.
Simone called the Valley Inn looking for Kendall, who was supposed to be at Fusion. She was told Kendall had checked out and was very upset. The photographers were there and behaving very uppity. Boyd walked in and Simone grabbed him, thinking he was the model Kendall had set up. He didn't know what she was talking about but agreed to do it. Then Mia arrived and Simone got her to stand in for Kendall. Simone had Boyd take his shirt off and he and Mia were supposed to act "hot." The photographer was less than pleased with them and complained about them constantly. Jake arrived and was slightly amused to see what was going on. After a few more minutes of the photographer's criticism, Boyd got angry and left.
At Greenlee's loft Trey knocked on the door. She opened it and he began to apologize for kissing her. She stopped him and said it was partly her fault. He said it wasn't but she told him she's working with Dr. Schwartz and that she realized that Trey is not responsible for Leo's death. Greenlee said it was just easier to blame him than to look at deeper issues. Trey asked "Do we still have a chance?." Greenlee was furious that he would even think they had a chance at a relationship. He said he just wanted a second chance. Greenlee said she was letting him off the hook but the kiss was completely inappropriate and a grotesque mistake. He said he didn't mean to suggest they could have an affair and that it would never happen again. Greenlee told Trey that the only part in her life he will have is as Fusion's chief council. Trey sadly left and Greenlee went to Fusion where she was told that Kendall was a no show. Mia walked over to Jake and they started kissing and snuggling. Simone and Greenlee watched. Greenlee said "If that's not what women want I don't know what is!." They convinced Jake to model with Mia. Mia admitted to Jake that this was a paying job for her and he was upset that she hadn't told him. They began to argue and the photographer started snapping and urging them on.
At the condo Kendall was in the kitchen half naked getting breakfast. Aidan walked out wrapped in a towel. He sat down and tried to take care of his wound. Kendall joined him and helped him with the bandage. She flirted the whole time, much to Aidan's disgust. She told him she was taking the day off to have some fun and asked if he'd like to have some fun with her. He wondered where Maureen was and Kendall told him she had left while he was in the shower. He got very angry and demanded that Kendall get his clothes so he could go find Maureen. Kendall was hurt that he showed so much passion for Maureen but went to get his clothes as Maureen walked in. Kendall told Maureen that Aidan felt like he needed a chaperone for the two of them but he denied this. Maureen said if they needed alone time they just had to tell her. Kendall said the truth was that Aidan only wanted to be alone with Maureen. She told them she was leaving and to tie a scarf on the doorknob if they needed her to stay gone longer. Aidan wouldn't let her leave though, telling her that if she leaves the people looking for him will make sure she's gone permanently. He told the two women that he saw the shooter at the bus station and that they had a picture of Maureen. Aidan said they'd torture Kendall and Maureen to find out where he was. He said they needed to go somewhere safe and told Maureen she needed a one way ticket to Wildwind. Maureen asked Kendall to leave her alone with Aidan for a moment and Kendall went into her room but stood near the door trying to listen. Maureen told him Kendall was crazy about him. Aidan told Maureen to go back to Edmund. She said Edmund probably won't take her back because she crushed his dream of reclaiming Maria. Aidan said he was sorry he put her in this position and Maureen said she doesn't think she'll ever be able to go back to Wildwind. He said as soon as it was safe he'd go talk to Edmund but she didn't think that would work. She told Aidan that she and Edmund had said some very hurtful things to each other and that on some level they both meant it. Maureen told Aidan it wasn't his fault, that things happen for a reason, "We're stuck together!." She said she saw glimmers of hope with Edmund but nothing she could build a life on. "He's cut me loose, I'm free." Maureen told Aidan while Kendall listened sadly.
Brooke walked into Wildwind and found Edmund sitting by the fireplace. He said he was getting his life together then showed Brooke the beautiful red dress he had bought for Maria for Valentine's Day. Then he tossed it on the fire and said it was too good for Maureen Gorman. Brooke was stunned and Edmund told her that he caught Maria trying to climb out a second story window to get to Aidan. Brooke admitted that she talked to Maria about the email and that maybe she forced Maria to run to Aidan. Edmund told Brooke thanks, you did me a favor.
He said it was pretty clear that Maria chose Aidan over him. "What's a little murder rap between lovers?" he quipped sarcasticly. Brooke asked if Maria and Aidan were really lovers and Edmund said they might as well be, she's not Maria. He said whoever she is he doesn't want to be with her. Brooke told him he had to go find her. She told him that love and time would bring Maria back but he said it wasn't working, that he doesn't feel anything for her. Brooke said he does, she's what makes him feel alive. "Maria is your heart and if you don't go after her you'll never feel alive again", Brooke told him. He admitted that he made a pact with "the devil", David Haywood and told her about his deal with the doctor. Brooke told him to go for it if there was a glimmer of hope. He wondered why she was pushing him so hard and Brooke said she wanted at least one of them to be happy. She said David could be the answer and asked Edmund what a future with Maria was worth to him in dollars and cents. He picked up the phone and called David to check on his progress. When he hung up he told Brooke that Daivd thinks he found something. "It could happen" Edmund said quietly."
