He meets Harley and tells her he couldn't be happier she is marrying his son. Alan apologizes for the past and promises things will be different this time. Harley accepts his apology.

At the station, Frank grills Alex for information while Gus listens through the two-way window. Alex tells Frank he's right and she has to tell him the truth.

Harley interrupts and Frank tells her Alex's story added up. As Harley and Gus leave, Frank mutters to himself that Alex is guilty and he hopes proving it doesn't destroy his sister's life.

She meets Harley, who is looking through wedding magazines. Michelle tells Harley she can't believe her husband turned down sex. She goes upstairs to Tony's hotel room.

Following Frank's intense line of questioning for Alexandra yesterday, Frank announces to Buzz that he doesn't trust Alexandra. Frank also warns Buzz not to trust Alex, either. Meanwhile, Alex summons Gus to Olivia's for a celebration of Gus' promotion and Alex's statement to Frank going off without a hitch. Alex asks Gus whether or not Frank bought the story. Gus quickly asks Alex what she loves about Buzz. Alex lights up as she replies that Buzz is funny, smart, & unpredictable. Gus points out that Frank has the same qualities. A somewhat frantic Harley interrupts Alexandra and Gus. Harley vents her frustration about not being able to find the right wedding rings. Alex excuses herself to go and meet Buzz. Harley tells Gus that Alan has finally accepted her into the family. Gus wonders if the Spauldings and the Coopers could ever have similarities.

Just then, Alan walks into Olivia's...and informs Harley and Gus that they don't have to search anymore. Alan has found what they are looking for.

At the farm, Marina invites Tammy for a day at the beach. Tammy declines the invitation, and informs Marina that Joey has asked Lizzie to the dance. Marina remains optimistic, and tells Tammy that Joey is working at the farm to be close to Tammy. Lizzie arrives with an apology, which Tammy and Marina do not buy. Lizzie ignores them, and continues to apologize for the way she left with Joey the night before. Tammy asks Lizzie to further twist the knife in her back. Marina becomes sarcastic with Lizzie. Lizzie lashes back at Marina, and announces that Marina slept with Sandy. Lizzie implies that Marina hurt Shayne. Marina corrects Lizzie, in that she merely shared a jail cell with Sandy. Tammy implies that Lizzie stole her boyfriend. Lizzie announces that she and Joey are attending the dance for their summer project. Lizzie implies Tammy and Remy are "friends with benefits."

At the police station, Buzz implies "residual distrust" between the Spauldings and the Coopers. Buzz tells Alex that Frank thinks she is hiding something. Buzz advises Alex to tell the truth, and she will not get hurt. Alex asks Buzz for a moment alone, while she makes a call on her cell phone. She asks Marjorie to bring her the file on Frank. When Marjorie secretly arrives at the police station, Alex pulls her aside and they exchange the file. Alexandra holds the file with a handkerchief, as if not to leave any fingerprints behind. Alex opens the file, which contains pictures of Darci, Brad Green, and Vinnie Salerno. When Buzz asks Alex to follow him in her car, Alexandra tells him that she must make just a few more calls. Alex walks over to Frank's desk. While she pretends to reach for her cell phone, Alex attempts to sneak the file into Frank's briefcase. Frank sneaks up on Alex, but is immediately called to the phone. On the other end is Gus, who asks Frank to be his best man. Meanwhile, Alex swiftly put the file in Frank's briefcase.

At the beach with Mel, Danny prepares to set up the special picnic for Michelle. Mel advises Danny to be patient with Michelle. Danny flashes a beautiful set of pearls he has for Michelle. At the Beacon, a customer collapses following leaving the reception desk. Michelle instantly rushes over to the fallen gentlemen, and revives him. Immediately following, Michelle wonders how she knew to do that. Michelle runs into Tony, who later informs a disbelieving Michelle that her family owns the light house. When Michelle and Tony arrive at the light house, Michelle emerges to the top and savors the view. Michelle announces that she can see everything. Meanwhile, back at the beach, Danny awaits Michelle's arrival...

Alan offers Harley and Gus a stunning set of rings, which have been in the Spaulding family for many years. Gus and Harley slip away for a moment to discuss whether or not they should accept rings the rings. When Gus points out that a lot of old Spaulding history is associated with those rings, Harley appears to want to decline the rings. Gus immediately picks up on Harley's indecision, and informs Alan that they cannot accept the rings. In private, Harley makes a call to Blake. Harley tells Blake all about the rings, and how much troublesome Spaulding history must be attached to them. But when Harley decided that it was also time to welcome Alan into her family, too (just as Alan has welcomed Harley), Harley decides to accept the rings. Now that the Spaulding part of this has been handled, Gus announces that it is time to handle the Coopers...

At the beach, Danny continues to wait for Michelle's arrival. As he sips red wine, he wonders where she could be. At the light house, Michelle looks around the first floor in amazement. Danny calls Michelle's cell phone. As if to feel like she was kind of interrupted, Michelle informs Danny she will be right there. Just before leaving the light house, Michelle vows she will return.

Shayne, Marina, Remy, Joey, and Sandy prepare a video for Alan to see, while Lizzie films it with her cell phone camera. Lizzie picks up the action, as the gang decides in favor of an "executive" decision to blow Alan off. Work or the beach? The gang ponders over the choice.

At Olivia's bar, Phillip looks up and sees Josh. Phillip happily invites Josh to join him. The subject of marriage arises. Olivia, in particular, and their mutual wedded history with that woman. Josh says to Phillip, "If you can make it work, you're a better man than I am!" Phillip responds by telling Josh that there is a surprise a day for Olivia. An air of concern crosses Josh. Josh may have old animosity toward Olivia, but total disregard for his ex-wife he does not. Phillip marches on with his agenda, and announces that today is such a day for a surprise...

Bill essentially explains to Olivia that they are over. Despite Olivia's persistence with promises of business deals and prestige, Bill stands firm on his decision. Bill maintains that he does not want to get in the middle of Olivia's unhappy marital problems. But we see that Phillip overhears the conversation...

Phillip will not tell Josh what Olivia's surprise is. When Tony arrives at Olivia's, Josh orders Tony to dissolve the partnership between him and Bill. Or, Josh goes on to say, I will...

Phillip runs into Bill outside the Beacon. Phillip strangely tells Bill a tale of the apple farms he used to visit, and how you have to pick it at just the "ripe" time. Olivia finds out that she has lost her Spaulding brokerage account. It was closed. Phillip has terminated her access. Suddenly, Olivia is abducted...

When Michelle arrives at the beach, Danny gives her the beautiful pearls. Michelle asks Danny if he is trying to buy her. Meanwhile, Tammy, Lizzie, Marina, Shayne, Joey, Sandy, and Lizzie arrive at the beach. After taking a cool photo of them, Michelle offers to allow them to have a party at their house. Danny silently begins to object against the agreeable crowd, but decides to chalk it up to Michelle's new identity and amnesia. Shayne worries that he has lost his range of motion. He dreams of playing baseball. Marina tells Shayne that if for once he could get so close to the dream, and actually make it. Bill arrives at the beach, and talks to Shayne about getting things back to normal. Bill encourages Shayne to reach for the stars and to do what he wants to do. As Tammy watches Joey from afar, Sandy convinces Tammy to try the "Dr. Phil" style of venting all of her frustrations about Joey. A hesitant Tammy eventually warms up to Sandy's suggestion, and begins to rant about Joey. From too much hair gel, to pasta disasters, Tammy spills it all. Even the fact, Tammy says, that he loves to hurt me. While Sandy appears to question this, we see that Lizzie has been filming the "venting of the frustrations" the entire time. Joey tells Shayne he is lucky to have Marina. Later, as they all leave the beach, Lizzie happily watches the highlights of what Tammy said.

Tony counters Josh, and advises against threatening him. Michelle and Danny arrive at the bar. Danny sends Michelle in to order a drink for them. As Michelle sits down at a table, she overhears Josh and Tony's conversation. Michelle hears Josh go on about Danny going back and forth into the mob. Josh makes it clear that he wants Tony out of the partnership with Bill. On his way out, Josh apologizes to Michelle for what she must have overheard. Michelle approaches Tony. Michelle says that Josh must be glad that Tony is no longer dating Marah. Josh sees Danny, and offers him indirect help in repaying the 5th street loans, which are coming due. Danny persists that the repayment will not be a problem. Josh suggests they do a project together for cash flow. Danny confides in Josh about how he handled it when Reva lost her memory. Josh replies with the words of wisdom that the definition of normal will change for Danny. Michelle invites Tony to the big party. As the man who abducted Olivia throws her into a waiting limo, he vanishes. And Olivia finds Phillip waiting for her inside the limo. Phillip announces that Olivia has nowhere to turn except to him.
