"MARIA & EDMUND: THE MAGIC POTION
"Finish your drink" Edmund said, with hope in his heart. Maria drank up, having no idea that Edmund had spiked her glass with David's amnesia antidote. Maria started to look a little woozy. The suddenly she looked up at Edmund. "Edmund, it's you," she announced with a smile. She remembered everything, their marriage, their love, and their life together. Teary-eyed, Edmund stared at Maria in disbelief, stammering about how long he had waited for this day. Maria got so excited about her memory; she gave him a big kiss. Then she and Edmund started really kissing. He took her in his arms, and carried her towards the bedroom.
Were you fooled? Well, so were we all. It was just Edmund's fantasy. In reality, what Maria was really saying was "Edmund, what did you put in my drink?" He assured her that it was scotch, her favorite. Maria complained of a headache and not feeling well, and went upstairs to rest. Before leaving, she turned to Edmund and thanked him for not turning in Aidan, and apologized once again for lying to him.
After she was upstairs, there was a knock at the door. It was David and he was pretty angry. He figured out that Edmund had stolen his anti-amnesia potion. He roared that it was only 98% ready, and it could potentially wipe out Maria's entire memory.
In the meantime, Maria was tossing and turning in her bed. She was having a horrible nightmare and kept repeating, "Don't kill me. Don't kill me."
Just then, Edmund and David heard a blood-curdling scream. Edmund dashed upstairs. He found Maria still asleep, covered in sweat, and crying hysterically. Edmund woke her up and she told him about her dream "which seemed so real." She described a scene at the airport. She was trying to leave, and Edmund was very cold to her. He was telling her "Give it up." Edmund realized that this was no dream, but a memory, albeit a bad one. He explained that she was describing that awful day when they were forced to give Sammy back to his birth mother. He explained further that Maria had in fact, gone to the airport in order to leave the country with the baby, but he had stopped her. Maria said that she couldn't really remember this, but Edmund was excited anyway. He encouraged her to go back to sleep and headed back downstairs. ‘
David was waiting for him in the living room and demanded that Edmund return the drug. But instead, Edmund thanked him because the drug was working on Maria. David's mouth opened wide. "You gave her the drug? ... You idiotic self-serving lunatic!" David ranted about the danger of the possible side effects, but Edmund wasn't listening. He got in David's face, and shouted that nothing would stop him from getting his wife's memory back. David accused Edmund of "losing it" and ran upstairs to examine Maria. Edmund chased him and together they pounced into Maria's room. But no Maria. She was gone.
AIDAN: TRAPPED !
Aidan woke up groaning in pain. But this time, it wasn't from the gunshot wound. You may recall that Friday's episode ended with Aidan getting pistol-whipped. As he became conscious, he realized that he was trapped. He was tied to a chair inside the condo and Morgan was standing in front of him, smiling.
Soon, the details of their strange relationship began to unfold. From their conversation, It became quickly evident that Morgan and Aidan had some sort of love-hate thing going on, from their past. Morgan paced the floor as she awaited Julian's arrival, who Aidan who also knew well. Fiona slyly predicted that Aidan would be dead soon after Julian arrived. So why wait, Aidan demanded? "Go on and take your best shot. You got me right where you want me." But instead of shooting him, Morgan straddled her legs over his, and sat on Aidan's lap. With an evil smile, she accused Aidan of betraying Julian by fooling around with his wife. But Aidan accused right back. You think I betrayed you with Fiona, don't you? Isn't that why you want me dead, Aidan demanded? The question seemed to hit a nerve with Morgan. She frowned and abruptly stood up from his lap. "Don't flatter yourself," she retorted angrily. "I got over you two seconds after you climbed out of my bed. " But Aidan pressed on. You want me, he insisted. They argued some more about Julian and why Morgan trusted him. Morgan then brought up the fact that Aidan killed Fiona. Aidan loudly denied this and was adamant that Julian was the one who killed her.
Morgan changed the subject to Aidan's fondness of "helping out" helpless women, like Maria for example. The mention of Maria's name got Aidan angry and he threatened that Morgan better stay away from her. Morgan grabbed Aidan's face from behind his chair and kissed him briefly. Then she pushed him away angrily as she recalled that he had double-crossed her. Aidan begged Morgan to believe that Julian was the one who killed Fiona when suddenly it dawned on him that Morgan was sleeping with Julian. Julian loves me, she responded. Aidan warned her that Julian's women always end up "six feet under", like Fiona. Just then Morgan's cell phone rang. Speaking of the devil – that's right – it was Julian. As Morgan chatted with Julian, Aidan was secretly struggling to untie the ropes on his hands
CONFUSION AT FUSION
The Fusion women were busy gushing over the photos of Jake and Mia. "You mean I'm going to be the face that launches Fusion lipstick?" Mia asked in disbelief. Just then Kendall walked in. "Like hell you are" she yelled across the room. Kendall insisted that she was the face of Fusion. But Greenlee was still angry that Kendall had blown off the photo shoot and stood by her decision about Mia's lips. This argument led into Kendall and Greenlee having their usual catfight. Greenlee mocked Kendall for blowing off the shoot for "some guy." Kendall tried to explain that this wasn't about "some guy", but an emergency. But Greenlee wasn't buying it.
Back at the worktable, Mia confided in Simone that she was worried that this job would take a toll on her personal life. She announced that she better call Jake. But just then, more Mia/Jake photos came in. "These would be great for the billboard" Simone exclaimed. Mia got so excited at the prospect of her lips on a billboard that she forgot to call Jake.
In the meantime, Kendall was still trying to explain the "emergency" to Greenlee. "Kendall, you can't ditch work for some guy" Greenlee explained impatiently. Then Kendall dropped a bomb: "Like you wouldn't drop everything ... if Leo walked in that door?" At first, Greenlee just stared. Kendall immediately apologized, but Greenlee seemed unphased by Kendall's insensitivity. She admitted that if Leo walked in, that yes, she would drop everything. But that's never going to happen, she said quietly. Then she became business-like and announced the start of their marketing meeting. Mia told Greenlee that she just had to go call Jake. "Call him later" Greenlee snapped, which sent Mia running to the conference room. .
JAKE: HUNG UP ON ROMANCE
Jake was at home, preparing a beautiful candlelit dinner for Mia. He called Mia at work, but she never made it to the phone. Just then, the doorbell rang. With a rose in his hand, he went to answer the door. It was Tad. Oh, you shouldn't have done all this for me, Tad said jokingly. But Jake wasn't laughing because he was annoyed that Mia hadn't returned any of his phone calls. He abruptly demanded to know why Tad had come over. Tad began to explain an idea he had for the foundation, but Jake cut him off. "When are you going to get a life?" Jake asked crudely. Tad was completely taken aback by this question. Jake quickly explained that he just wanted to focus on life things, like this dinner he was preparing for him and Mia. He admitted that he and Mia had fought earlier, and that he had overreacted about her quitting the hospital job. "So, you were a jerk, and this is a makeup dinner" Tad concluded. Jake agreed that this was the case, and looked forward to a time when Mia would be working fewer hours.
At this point, Tad decided to have a brotherly talk with Jake about his impending nuptials. He wondered if Mia was playing Jake for a sucker. He questioned Mia's new hours, why she hadn't returned Jake's calls, and why, above all, had the wedding been postponed. Jake insisted that everything was fine, but Tad continued. He proposed that their engagement was rushed, and that maybe he wasn't ready. Jake vigorously confirmed that he was completely ready to get married. "Then maybe it's Mia who's not ready to marry you," Tad gently suggested. Tad reminded Jake about his other "sure things": Greenlee, Gillian, Liza. At that point, Jake got very defensive. Tad finally backed down and left.
As soon as Tad left, Jake blew out the candles and called Fusion again. This time Kendall answered. When Jake asked if his fiancée was available, Kendall could only think about revenge on Mia, that "back-stabbing little suck-up." She lied to Jake by telling him that Mia said she was too busy to come to the phone. Kendall hung up with an evil smile as Jake tossed the phone down in disgust."
