On the Docks:

The immigrants along with Noah and Reva were coming off of the ship and onto a truck. Catalina falls and Reva and Noah have to help her up while a guard is rushing them along. Noah says a few things to the guard in Spanish. The guards throw bread and water onto the truck with the people and shit them in. Noah is asking the man to back off and talks to him on behalf of Catalina and Reva. He tells Reva that he told them that Reva was his wife, and Catalina his niece and he wants to protect their honor. He tells them he is a doctor and will take care of Catalina. Reva is worried about the other workers. Noah says that she has to see the big picture to help more of them. They can't take any chances because life is cheap to these men. One of the workers on the truck starts singing and another is upset and confronts him. They argue and a fight breaks out. The man in charge gets involved and bangs his club against the back of the truck. Noah tries to bring peace to the workers while Catalina talks to Reva about how great Noah is. She tells Reva that it is obvious he loves her very much. Reva tells her that she thought he was the least complicated man she would ever meet but that has all changed now and she doesn't really know how she feels for him. Noah tells the aliens that they can't ruin things now that they are close to a better life. He sits back down and Reva tells Noah he did a good thing. Noah said he was worried that something dangerous would happen. She tells him he saved all of their lives. Noah says they are not out of danger yet and that they are sitting on a powder keg.

Rick says next time, he will take them both and push the stroller. Michelle is worried that there will be no baby, but Rick tells her the baby will be alright. She asked Rick if he was okay and he told her that he met someone. He told her that they danced together at the royal party and that his significant other also liked football.

At the LeMay's:

Beth is meeting with Edmund. She wonders if he had already gotten the jewels appraised. He tells her that he had and they are quite worthless. Beth doesn't understand since he was so sure the night before that they were worth what most would consider a small fortune. He tells her that they are monetarily but they are worthless in her pursuit of happiness. She acts offended and like she doesn't want to hear the same spill from Edmund about her wanting him and not her husband. Edmund tells her that the truth hurts and she knows deep down what he is saying is true. He tells her that she continues to call him for help because she knows he will tell her the truth and hopes he will stop her from procreating with the wrong man. Beth insists that she wants her husbands child and Edmund asks her why she is in such a rush. He thinks she is feeling guilty for tricking Jim into the marriage when she knew the baby wasn't his and wants to relieve some of her guilt. Beth says she realizes every time she calls him she is asking for trouble and should know better. Edmund interrupts her and says, "And yet you do it again and again." Beth mentions that she now realizes why Edmund is so fond of Machiavelli and mentions that he thinks everyone has a hidden agenda. He tells her they usually do. Beth assures him that all she wants is a child with Jim. Edmund turns to go and tells Beth that if she sells her jewels it will yield at least $60,000 a year if invested properly. He gave her his friend's business card in New York and starts to leave. She insists again that she is sure she wants another baby. Edmund tells her if that is true she needs to be sure of her alternatives. Edmund leaves.

Jim comes in and sees all Beth's jewels on the table. He asks where it all came from and then answered his own question that it was gifts from her time with Phillip. He asks her where she had been keeping it and why it was out at that point in time. She tells him she was going to sell it and he sees the appraisal on the table. Beth tells him that Edmund had taken it for her to an appraiser. She tells him that she only wanted to sell it so they would have the money to have a baby of their own. Jim tells her that she is going about it the wrong way. Jim apologizes for being a jerk about money lately and tells her that they can have a baby anyway and will make it some how without Spaulding trinkets. Beth wants to start on their family right then but Jim says he has to go back to work. He tells her he may be very late, but if she were awake when he gets back he would be open to some practice. He kisses her goodbye and tells her to leave the money to him.

At the Santos Compound:

Selena tells Maria that she had Miguel's son and they also called him Miguel. Selena starts to cry and tells Maria that she loved Miguel very much and she promised him she would protect their son. She tells Maria that he has always been in her heart. Maria seems touched and says she understands. Selena tells her that she has told her everything. Maria doesn't believe her. She asks Selena to sit down and tell her about her grandson. Selena tells her that he is a lawyer now and doing well. Selena tells her that she doesn't see him much and that the last time was several years ago. Maria wonders why and Selena tells her that she was afraid of Carmen. Maria didn't understand what Carmen had to do with it. Selena told her that she loved Miguel and tried to leave him but she couldn't. She hated Carmen since she was the only obstacle between her and the man she loved and she called her and told her once. Selena said that Carmen realized before Miguel's death that he really loved someone else and wanted to leave her (Carmen). Maria asks Selena why Miguel was killed. Selena says she has had a hole in her heart for years about this and it feels good to be able to mourn Miguel with Maria. She said after Miguel died, she was terrified that Carmen would find her and her son. She said that Miguel had provided for them but she trusted the wrong person with the money and lost everything and ended up turning to prostitution. Maria is shocked and angry that her grandson's mother would be a hooker. She asked if he ever found out and Selena said she did but that wasn't the reason they didn't see much of each other. She said her son blamed her for something else. Maria gets out of the wheelchair and attacks Selena telling her to stop lying. Selena says all she wanted was for Miguel to be with them and for Carmen to know she and the boy existed. She tells Maria that Carmen realized what she said was true and had her men try to beat the name of Miguel's mistress out of him but he refused to give in. Instead he let the men beat him to death all the while smiling at Carmen, knowing she would never know whom he was hiding. Selena tells Maria that Miguel died to protect her and his son. He never told. Selena is crying. Maria is angry and says that she betrayed her son and hid. Maria says Selena lived and now she will make sure she doesn't. Geraldo comes in and announces the police are there. David and Harley enter. They see Selena in the garden with Maria.

Harley asks Selena if there was a problem. David is concerned she was there against her will. Maria turns the charm on again and says there have been false rumors that Selena was involved in Miguel's death and she wanted to reassure Selena. Harley says she will call Buzz to let him know. Buzz is relieved and tells Harley to get Selena out of there. Harley tells Maria that Blake was talking on TV about her new book that had a remarkable resemblance to the death of Miguel Santos. She said right after that Selena was attacked and Blake was robbed and wondered what Maria thought about it. She said she had no idea. Harley asks her to let her know if she thinks of anything. They start to leave and Maria calls out to Harley. She asks Harley to find out who killed her son so justice can be done. She said even if it isn't in this world she knows the fires of hell burn forever. Maria thanks Selena for coming and blesses her. Selena kisses Maria and tells her how sorry she is for her loss. She leaves with Harley and David. Maria tells Geraldo she has a job for him.

She didn't want him to know and didn't want the baby to grow up like he did. Danny says he doesn't want that either and swears it won't. He tells her he saw what happened and swears on his father's grave that their baby will grow up safe and free. He gives the baby his word and asks him or her to hang in there.

She wants him to leave and he tells her that he understands why she tried to hide the pregnancy from him. She asks if he is angry with her. He says all he feels is love for her and the baby. He knows she came back to him because they belong together and the baby proves they are still a family. Michelle says no, but Danny insists it is fate and a new start for them. He says he will turn his back on the family for her and their baby. He tells her he loves her and kisses her hand. Rick comes in and tells Danny to get out. Danny goes out in the hall with Rick and tells him that he knows Michelle is pregnant. Rick tells him that they are no longer married. Danny tells him he would never have consented to the divorce if he knew that. He tells him that he loves Michelle.

They are interrupted when Michelle gets out of bed and walks to the doorway. They both help her back to bed. Rick takes her pulse and says it is okay.

The doctor comes in and tells them to keep Buzz calm when he wakes up. Harley says that there are three crimes connected now. Frank goes to warn Blake and Harley stays to sit with Buzz. Buzz wakes up and has a headache. Harley tells him he looks terrible and he asks her what happened. She tells him he has been unconscious for hours. Frank found him last night knocked out and the firehouse was trashed. Buzz was concerned if anything was messed up besides the bedroom and foyer. Harley told him she didn't think so. He seemed relieved. Harley wants to know what happened and Buzz refused to talk. She asked where Selena was and he told her that they broke up before the brutes came in. Harley wants to know what happened but Buzz insists he can't remember. He tells Harley he had a fight with Selena and they broke up. Harley doesn't believe him and he asks for water. She says someone worked him over and Buzz says maybe it was Selena since she was angry. Harley asks him why they broke up and he teases about how she was sick of his chili. Harley knows he is lying but Buzz refuses to give any straight answers and Harley asks if he is in danger. He says he needs no help from her or the law. Harley is annoyed. Blake arrives at the hospital and is upset to see the battered Buzz who is resting now. She starts to fuss over him and feels responsible for his injuries. She is upset apologizing over and over. Buzz opens his eyes and motions to Blake. She leans over him and he tells her to shut up. Blake steps back and tells Harley that her dad spoke to them at least. Ross asks him how he is feeling. Frank tells Buzz that he had them scared, and Harley tells Frank that Buzz is not talking to her. Frank sits down next to Buzz and tries to get a description of the guys. Buzz says they looked like this and puts up his fists. Buzz asks Frank and Harley to give him a few moments with Blake and Ross. They refuse. Buzz then tells them that he needs to confer with his attorney privately and points out Ross. Frank and Harley reluctantly leave.

He tells them that Grandma Santos is in charge. Buzz says that Selena had something to do with Miguel's death and that she confessed everything to Maria. Buzz told them he kept the thugs busy beating him up in hopes that Selena would have time to get away. Blake wants to find out if she is okay but Buzz tells her not too. Blake apologizes for the book and the mess and Buzz says that it is not her fault. He says Selena couldn't be happy with this hanging over her head. Ross also says he is sorry things turned out this way but Buzz says he doesn't think they could have turned out any other way.

Danny runs into Frank in the hallway and asks if Buzz is okay. Frank says that Danny doesn't have to worry that he is in the clear. He tells him that Selena was visiting his grandmother at their home and it seemed to be left of friendly terms. Danny wonders why Selena was talking to Abuela. Frank tells him that some people thing Selena is connected to Miguel's death in some ways because of Blake's book. Danny has no idea what he is talking about and Frank asks him to keep his eyes open and protect himself. Danny says that he and Michelle are back together and he wants to protect her. Frank tells him he hopes he does. Frank leaves. Danny sees Claire and she tells him Michelle is asleep. He tells her that he will leave then and not bother her. Claire asks him to stay for a minute so she can talk to him. Claire tells Danny she won't try to change Michelle's mind about reconciling but she wants him to promise that he will take Michelle and vanish until his family stops looking for them. She mentions Carmen and says others in his family must feel as strongly as Carmen did about having him lead the family and they won't let him walk away. Danny says he knows how to protect Michelle and goes into her room.

Alan sees Claire and asks if he can help her with something. Claire tells Alan that Michelle came home because she is pregnant and was in danger of miscarrying. Alan asks if she is better now and Claire tells him that she will never be okay as long as Michelle is involved with Danny. Alan tells her she should follow the advice she gave him when dealing with his children and their lives and that is to just back off. He invites her to Infierno for a distraction. Claire thinks it is ironic that he would invite her to Danny's club when he is the cause of her angst.

As Buzz sleeps, Selena comes in dressed in black. She leans over him and says "Hi Baby". He wakes up and is glad to see that she is safe. She tells him she heard the fight and asks if they hurt him badly. He says it felt good to actually do something this time since he was unable to help Jenna or Nadine. He was glad he could buy her some time to get away. Selena is upset over his face and asks if he had any broken bones. She apologizes again. He says she shouldn't be there and she says she had to see him again. She apologizes for everything and says she didn't know how to tell him about Miguel without blowing their relationship and she couldn't leave without making sure he was okay. He says he always seems to bounce back. She asks how he will explain this, but he says he has already told Harley and Frank that they broke up. He promises to make up a story about the goons and she thanks him again. He swears he would never rat her out. He tells her he knows she has been paying for this for years and he hopes it is over. He tells her he can forgive her for not letting herself be happy with him but he cant forgive her for not letting him be happy with her. She says goodbye and tells him she will be in touch with Drew. She cries as she kisses him goodbye. Buzz tells her that this wasn't the way it was supposed to be. She tells him she will always love him and she leaves.

At Infierno:

Blake and Ross sit back and relax talking about what Buzz had told them. She says she feels badly for Buzz and still blames herself. Ross tells her that he is proud of her. She is surprised. He tells her she handled herself well in the situation. Blake is surprised and says he has been good to her. He says she got involved in the book and didn't know there was danger. When she found out, she acted appropriately. Blake has a brainstorm and tells Ross that she had an epiphany of what her new book should be about. She says the idea has been staring her right in the face. She will make Selena's story mean something but it will be completely fictionalized. She tells Ross the heroine in the new book will be haunted by the tragic mistakes in her past. She continues by saying that the forces from her past are unleashed and affect all of the people around her. Ross would rather read the book than live it. He wants to know how the book ends. Blake said that the heroine winds up sadder but wiser, leaving the others to live happily ever after.

Claire and Alan are at the club, flirting. He is glad they share similar taste in distractions and they toast. May comes over with flowers and Alan reminds her who they were. May remembers and gets them a couple of cigars. Alan asks May if she is okay since she doesn't seem like herself. Claire asks if it is boy trouble. May says it is an old story. A sweet guy can have a fling and when his wife comes back, he goes back to her, blah, blah, blah. She apologizes for going on with her troubles and leaves to sell more flowers. Claire says, "It couldn't be, could it?" Alan tells Claire she has a death grip on her cigar. He thinks she is distracted. She says she is thinking about May and feels sorry for her. Alan is surprised. Claire walks over to May and asks if she is okay. May says she will live and Claire asks her if the boy was Danny and May finally admits it was. May says she knew he wasn't the love of her life but her feelings are more than she expected. Claire tells her she never knows what will happen tomorrow. (She seems very pleased by the news). Claire goes back and tells Alan thanks for the evening, it was just what she needed.

Phil says he knows he made mistakes and he is really trying to be a good husband but she keeps digging in her heels and won't give an inch.

She tells him she does love him when she isn't hating him. He asks if she wants to be married to him and she says yes, but not all the time.

Near Springfield:

Reva, Noah and Catalina are at a dock and Reva recognizes the area. Noah says they have to get out of there "The jig is up." There is a high fence and Reva is wondering how they will get out. Noah tells her to hang on the wheel well of a truck and he will distract the guards. She can drop off when the truck stops and needs to get help for them. She doesn't want to leave him, but Noah says she is the logical one to leave since she is definitely not foreign with her blond hair and limited Spanish. The guard is lurking around and Catalina is getting worried. Reva walks over and starts talking to some women standing by the wall. She asks them if they know Ramona. One of the women speaks English and wants to know how she knows about Ramona and Diego. She tells them she is from SF and there was an accident. The woman asks about the accident and if anyone was hurt. She tells them about Diego and Josh and tells her that she has a message from Diego to his wife. The woman wants to know why Diego would trust her. Reva tells her that is was because Diego wasn't sure he would ever see her again. Reva calls the woman Ramona, letting her know that she realizes she is the woman she is looking for. Reva tells Ramona about the accident and Diego being trapped. She tells her that she tried to get him out and sat with him until he died. She tells her that Diego was a hero and died a hero's death. She tells her that his last thoughts and words were for her. Reva repeats the words to Ramona and they both cry. Reva tells her that Diego wanted Ramona to stay in America. Ramona weeps loudly and hugs Reva as the guards look on. One of the guards goes after Ramona as the other one takes off Reva's straw hat, revealing her blond hair. They call Reva a spy and someone recognizes her from television. She tells the guards that she was holding the hand of the man who died at the construction site. She pretends to have the area under video surveillance. The guy is not impressed. He says she has been in a container for three days and then a truck. Reva says they were waiting for her. The guy pulls Reva by the hair and calls her bluff. One of the other guys gets on a cell phone to tell someone there is a problem. While the one guard is on the phone, Noah attacks the other one to save Reva.

The guys turn around and start talking to Noah. He speaks Spanish to them but they think he was with Reva. They start beating Noah and Reva runs out of hiding to help him. He says he was a traveling salesman. The guys start beating Noah and Reva comes out of hiding. One of the guards stares threateningly at Reva and they grab her as well.
