She told herthat she loved her husband and wasn't going to let anything come betweent them. Fran tried to point out that having a child to save her marriage was a bad idea. Annie convinced her to go ahead and a man entered the room.

Buzz and Jenna arrived at Josh's doorstep. Josh knocked on the door and Josh answered it. Josh told Buzz that it was light and an angry Buzz started yelling at him. Buzz told him he was going to say his peace. Josh asked him to keep his voice down because the kids were upstairs and he didn't know where his wife was. Buzz told him that he had believed Josh when he said he didn't want Reva and that Laurel Falls should have been a giveaway. Josh told him he should talk to Reva. Buzz said if he didn't have a pregnant wife around here, he would kick the hell out of him. Buzz then figured out that Annie didn't know and asked when Josh was going to tell her, when she was on the table delivering the child.

Buzz continued to yell at Josh and accused Josh of finding excuses like Sarah's death to hang around. Buzz asked him if Annie was right that Reva was there at Cross Creek. Josh didn't answer. Josh then told him it didn't matter what he said because Buzz wouldn't believe him. Buzz told him that he believed that Josh wanted it all. Annie came in and saw Buzz and Josh arguing.

Alan-Michael, Alex and Phillip are meeting in Alan-Michael's office. Alan-Michael says that Wall Street is watching Spaulding very closely. They expect a leaner, meaner more profitable Spaulding, now that Roger is on board. Phillip says that they are going to keep an eye on Roger and Amanda – they only get to know what they need to know. Amanda walks in. They tell her to bring Roger in so they can get started with the meeting. She says Roger is not coming, he has asked her to stand in for him. Alex asks where Roger is.

Roger is in the Spaulding mansion looking for Alex's papers. He starts to look in the safe, then changes his mind. He searches everywhere. He remembers what Vanessa told him about Alex stealing some files and that it would be an insurance policy -- that whoever controlled those files would be enough to bring the Spaulding family to their knees. Vanessa tells him that she nor Henry knew what had happened to the files, just that Alex had hidden them someplace that Alan would never find them. She said that Alex said the files were as close as the nose on his face. Roger is looking on the bookshelf. Alan comes in the room in his wheelchair.

Buzz leaves with the clerk to go look at tuxedos.

Alan comes into the room. Roger is sitting and smoking a cigar in a chair. Roger tells Alan that he wants to be a good husband to Amanda and a great son-in-law to him. Alan says that accepting Roger into the family is pushing it a little bit. Roger says they have to show a happy and united front or the business will suffer. Roger sits down and begins writing. Alan asks him what he is doing. Roger says that he is making a list of Spaulding's most important customers because someone has to network with them at the Ball. Alan says that this is a job for the family. Roger says he knows that he can never fill his shoes, but as his future son-in-law he is sure going to give it a try. Alan leaves the room. Roger continues looking for the papers.

At the diner Frank comes in and tells the customers that they are closing early. He tells Eleni that he has tickets for the Ball. She says that the tickets are $1,000 each, they can't afford that. He laughs and tells her that he is working undercover. Eleni keeps making excuses to not go to the Ball. She finally tells Frank that she doesn't have the right dress to wear, she wouldn't fit in.

He asks her to make him the most envied man there. She says she will go.

Buzz is looking at himself in the mirror at the formal wear store. Jenna walks out in her gown. Buzz says "wow." She asks if he approves. Buzz tells her that he can't speak for her husband, but he thinks she looks "wow." She says that since they are speaking of her husband Buzz is making him uncomfortable with the way he speaks to her. He thinks Buzz is a bit too familiar. Buzz says that is because he is familiar – that he is as familiar with her as a woman as any man can be – and if that makes her husband uncomfortable, too bad. She tells him that it makes her uncomfortable, too. She tries to talk him out of going to the Ball. She says he is only going because she will be there. Buzz jokes and asks her if her husband knows how conceited she is. She says Buzz is still reeling from his breakup. He is just acting on impulse. He says he is a spontaneous guy. She asks him not to go to the Ball and make the situation worse. He laughs and says he didn't know that they had a "situation."

Annie enters the store. Buzz introduces Annie to Jenna. Jenna excuses herself and leaves.

Annie tells Buzz that she knows it hurt Buzz when Reva says she still loves Josh. Annie says that now that Reva knows she can't have Josh that she is sure the two of them can get back together. She says that she and Josh are closer now than they have ever been. Buzz tells her that she is living in a dream world. She snaps at Buzz and denies this. Buzz looks at her with a puzzled look.

Annie apologizes to Buzz. She said it frustrates her to see him so unhappy. Annie says that there is no way Josh could betray him with Reva. Josh is an honorable man. Buzz says that Reva told him that she loves Josh and always will. He says that it is just a matter of time before they get back together. Annie says that Josh loves her and the baby. Annie says that Reva can pine for Josh all she wants, but Annie has him now and she will have him always.

Josh tells Billy that he does not have to explain himself to him. They argue about Josh's decision to stay with Annie. Billy says Josh's happiness is right out there and he just has to reach out and grab it. Reva comes back in. Billy tells them to work things out so they can be together. Josh says that he promises that he will try. Josh leaves.

Reva tells Josh that she loves him. He says he loves her. Reva asks him not to make it any harder on them. He asks her to wait for him.

Roger is looking in the desk drawer and Amanda comes in to warn him. They hear Alex coming and Amanda leans Roger back over the desk top and starts kissing him passionately. Alex comes in and tells them to stop that in her house. Amanda tells her that she is sorry, that they will be more discrete in the future. Alex tells her to save the saccharine charade that she knows exactly what is going on. Roger says nothing is going on, they are just simply two people in love. Alex says that she knows Amanda rushed in to warn him about something. Roger tells her that he has made a list of people to work with at the Ball. Alex excuses herself to check on Alan. Alan comes into the room in his wheelchair wearing a tuxedo. He says that nothing is going to keep him away from the Ball.

Frank and Eleni send the customers home. They kiss and go upstairs to get dressed for the Ball. They are looking out the window. Frank yells – you are not going to believe this. Eleni comes to the window and they both laugh and smile.

Annie is getting ready. She remembers what Buzz says and it upsets her and she begins to cry. Josh comes in, but she hides her tears. She begins talking about the baby and says it is almost too good to be true. She says that she wishes everyone was as happy as they are. She tells him that she saw Buzz at the store and that he said some things that really upset her. She says that Buzz said that Reva left him because she still loves Josh. She says that this is a threat that they can't ignore.

Buzz and Jenna are leaving the store at the same time. Jenna tells Buzz that he is going to the Ball because she specifically asked him not to. He says that he is going to the Ball because he wants to. He says he doesn't believe the "Jeff thinks they are too familiar" routine either. He says that she is hiding something, but he will find out what it is. He tells her to save the last dance for him. He leaves.

Jeffrey comes in and asks her if she convinced her old flame not to come. She said he is out of luck, she can't do her job. He says the evening will go on as planned. She asks him how he expects her to do her job with Buzz hanging around all evening. He says he doesn't expect it, he insists on it.

Josh repeats what Annie said about Buzz. She says that she knows it is upsetting, but she felt that she should tell him. He says that he doesn't know what to say. She says that he doesn't have to say anything, she knows he loves her. She says she is afraid for the children, they need to know that the five of them are a family. Josh says that Reva would never use the children to get to him. Annie says she thinks Reva will. She says that she doesn't want Josh to fall into the trap that Buzz did. Annie says that Buzz wants to get Reva back. Josh asks if Buzz said that. She tells him that Buzz did. Josh tells Annie not to get involved. She says she is just trying to protect him. She tries to get out of going to the Ball. Reva might make a scene like she did last year. Josh tells her that Reva is not going to the Ball.

Music is playing and waiters are setting up the room for the Ball.

Roger tells Amanda that Alex's idea about going to the Ball is a great idea. He says Amanda knew how to cover for him when Alex almost caught him. It was a great act at the right time – it was an act wasn't it. She says yes, anything for the cause. She says she will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Roger says that all of Springfield will catch their interest at the Ball and as soon as the Ball gets going, they will exit and continue their search. Then they will have an alibi. The papers are somewhere on the property, he says they need to find them and the future is theirs.

Buzz is at the diner he see the closed sign on the door. He comes in and asks why they are closed. They tell him about the Ball. They say they were getting ready to go upstairs to dress, but there was a stubborn customer that refused to leave until they spoke to the owner. Harley enters. Buzz hugs her.

Annie tells him that she must have misunderstood – did Josh talk to Reva. He says that he went to pick up Mara's backpack. She says that in that case "all three of them – me, you and our baby" will have a great time at the Ball.

Reva and Billy are talking, she says that Josh has no idea why she wanted to see him. She starts telling him about Sarah and her baby. She says she needs his help. He interrupts her and tells her to stop living in the past. He tells her that Josh loves her and she needs to light a fire under Josh's "sorry Lewis butt." He tells her that they are going to the ball together and they'll give the town something to talk about for the next 60 years.
