At Cedars, Lizzie was elated when Bill opened his eyes. He was equally happy to see her. Lizzie reminded him that things are going to be different now, hinting that she hopes he remembers they're more than just business partners. He reassured her that he wants to be with her, and the reunited couple kissed and hugged at last. When he asked her if her kidnappers were ever caught, however, she avoided answering him. She also hid the newspaper announcing Bill's indictment for the crime before telling him that they should just be thankful that he's awake. Later, Lizzie was touched when Bill remembered that it's little Sarah's birthday.

In Germany, Dinah asked a passerby for directions and realized she was lost, both directionally and emotionally. She called Vanessa for an update on Bill and assured her mom that she's not lonely. Worried, Vanessa suggested that Dinah do some volunteer work so she's not alone on Thanksgiving. So, Dinah decided to help serve turkey dinners at a nearby hospital for injured soldiers. She introduced herself to an embittered young sergeant, who called himself Jack Randolph (but it's really Shayne Lewis!). He wondered what Dinah was doing abroad and quickly called her out on only helping others in attempt to make herself feel better. Dinah was angry and stunned so she stormed out, but eventually decided to return to see the paralyzed soldier. He was embarrassed when she saw him struggling with his cane and demanded that she leave. Later, Dinah retreated to a local pub for a pint, where she encountered the soldier from the hospital getting into a brawl with a fellow patron.

At Towers, the Boudreau family gathered for Thanksgiving dinner. When Clayton asked Remy about applying for medical school, Remy changed the subject and said he's been too busy. Felicia surmised that her son is dating someone new. Meanwhile, Christina called Remy on his cell during dinner — inquiring if their annulment went through. Worried that his family would overhear their conversation, Remy quickly hung up. Later, Clayton and Felicia were sharing the story of how they met back in medical school when Christina barged in and blasted Remy for avoiding her. They all shared an awkward moment as Remy introduced Christina to his stunned family, but he covered and said that she's just a friend he met at the MCAT exam.

Back at Cedars, a nurse announced to an elated Vanessa and Billy that Bill is finally awake. The doctor took Bill's vitals and Frank unexpectedly arrived, announcing to Bill that he's under arrest for Lizzie's kidnapping. Bill was flabbergasted. Lizzie promised him that she believes he's innocent, but Billy and Vanessa explained all the evidence against him. Frank told Bill that he should turn himself in after he's released from the hospital. Later, Lizzie brings Bill a makeshift Thanksgiving dinner and curls up in his arms.

Back at Towers, Clayton and Felicia invited Christina to stay for dessert. When talk turned to the MCATs, Christina mistook Remy's overprotective behavior about her failing the exam for thinking that he was embarrassed by her. So, an angry Christina lashed out and announced to everyone that she's Remy's wife. They quickly explained the story about their unplanned nups. Clayton and Felicia were shocked and when the family started to bicker, Christina left. Remy dutifully ran after her, at Felicia's behest, and asked Christina what went wrong. She explained she's jealous of his perfect family and is fearful that he doesn't think she fits in. Then she got emotional as she talked about her own family and revealed to him that she was raised by her grandmother. Remy was surprisingly empathetic.

Coop left a voice message for Beth, wishing her luck on her exam and suggesting she stop by his room to relax afterward. Ashlee overheard and grilled Coop about his new girl. He didn't offer any juicy info, however, much to Ash's chagrin.

Over dinner at Towers, Buzz and Lillian discussed Beth stressing over Lizzie's situation with Bill. Buzz finally broke his silence about Beth's secret affair and spilled to Lillian that her daughter is seeing a man who is NOT Alan. Lillian was surprised, but agreed that it's plausible. Lillian then teased Buzz when he told her that he accidentally caught Beth in her bra and undies. Meanwhile, at the Spaulding manse, Beth was on her way to class when Alan read her a news story detailing with Bill's arrest. Beth used some legalese to show Alan that Bill could still get off unscathed, which amused and annoyed Alan who smirked, "Wow. Just a few months of law classes and you're talking like Sandra Day O'Connor!" Beth was miffed and quickly covered when Alan then inquired why she hasn't been sleeping in his bedroom.

At the convenience store, Daisy teased Grady for being a good guy. She thanked him again for rescuing Ashlee and gave him a smooch before explaining that she's going to see Bill because he's awake. Grady stopped short when he heard the news, but tried to act casual and excited for Daisy. Meanwhile, at Cedars, Bill cut out the newspaper clippings from the kidnapping case as research to prove his innocence. Lizzie arrived and admitted that she hasn't been sleeping because she's been focusing on the case. Then she told him that the doctor signed off on his hospital release today. She hugged Bill and departed, excited for him to finally come home. After, Daisy showed up to see Bill. Grady also unexpectedly arrived and awkwardly greeted Bill to fish around if he recognized him as Lizzie's kidnapper. Bill didn't, which stunned and pleased Grady so he quickly departed.

Back at the mansion, Lizzie informed Alan that she's preparing a room at the house for Bill so she can help him recover. Beth urged Lizzie to reconsider, but Lizzie was adamant and excited about finally having some happiness with Bill. She railed at her family for still believing he's guilty. Daisy, meanwhile, got emotional as she recounted finding Bill and Lizzie after the car accident and expressed to Bill that she's been inspired by his devotion to and love for Lizzie.

Outside of Company, Buzz and Ashlee discussed the benefit of V8 juice. Later, Ashlee saw Grady and announced that she's through trying to split him up with Daisy, but she still thinks he's a loser. She advised him to get a real job instead of being a gofer for Dinah. Grady ran out to take a call from Alan, who wanted to discuss the next step in their framing scheme.

Lillian paid Beth a visit and confronted her about the secret affair. Beth reminded her that she's not even married to Alan anymore so it's not a big deal. Lillian urged her to choose one man, fearful that Beth would make the same mistakes she did. After her exam, Beth stopped by Coop's place and tried to break up with him, saying that Lillian now knows and things are getting too complicated. Coop urged her to change her mind and pulled her into a kiss, but Beth remained fearful of what Alan would do if he also found out about their fling. When Coop asked Beth what's keeping her with Alan, she skirted the issue but assured him that she could walk away from Spaulding at any time. Later, Coop blurted to Buzz that he's the one sleeping with Beth.

Lizzie returned to Cedars to pick up Bill and help him slip out the back door to avoid reporters waiting outside. Bill thanked Lizzie for sticking by him through all the drama. They retreated to the pond where Bill admitted he doesn't remember anything from being in a coma. He was tickled when Lizzie told him that she'd been reading romantic novels to him. Then Lizzie informed him that Dinah had skipped town.

Back at the mansion, Alan warned Bill that he still thinks Bill's guilty. Grady also showed up. Alan told him that he wants Bill out of Lizzie's life for good. Satisfied that Bill couldn't ID him as the kidnapper, Grady informed Spaulding he wants out of their deal. Alan reluctantly handed Grady an envelope full of cash. Meanwhile up in Bill's room, Lizzie expressed her love; he promised her that nothing is more important to him than her. They started making out, but Lizzie freaked when she saw a fresh scar (just like the one she gave her kidnapper!) on Bill's chest.

Olivia went for her monthly checkup at Cedars. Rick said she needs to watch her stress levels and was unable to assure her that she'd ever feel normal again. After, Olivia returned to the Beacon, where she suddenly felt faint and fell to the ground. Decker approached and noticed something was wrong; Liv covered. He told her that she needs to take it easy because she's got an overseas trip coming up with Galaxy. She brushed off his concern and put on happy face.

Coop bristled when Buzz tried to lecture him about sleeping with Beth. Buzz warned his son about the dangers of Alan finding out and cracked, "You're safer having an affair with my deli meat slicer at Company." Coop explained he's trying to focus on writing his book, but Beth is too much of a distraction and he enjoys being with her anyway. He recounted the story of how they began their affair; Buzz was stunned and urged his son to think things through. Coop responded that he's tired of being the responsible member of the family.

At the mansion, Alan groused to Beth about Lizzie's stubbornness regarding Bill and left the property in a huff. Meanwhile, Lizzie started to undress Bill, but his scar freaked her out and she ran into the bathroom to gather her thoughts. "It's Bill," she said in disbelief. Bill was confused and concerned, so Lizzie told him the truth about giving her kidnapper a scar just like his. Bill admitted he doesn't know where it came from, so Lizzie reasoned that it happened in the car accident and is just a crazy coincidence. They hugged, but Bill could tell Lizzie's faith in him had been shaken.

Cyrus found Grady hiding out at the seedy motel. Grady excitedly related the news that Bill woke up and couldn't identify him as the kidnapper. Then he proudly showed Cyrus the scar that Lizzie gave him and explained that he'd given a comatose Bill a similar mark so Lizzie would believe that Bill really is her kidnapper. Grady thought his plan was smart; Cyrus was annoyed by his brother's stupidity (again). Later, Alan stopped by and asked Cyrus to help him finish the plan that Grady bailed on.

At Company, an exhausted Natalia was waiting tables and still reeling from the news that she'd lost all of her money in Decker's busted investment. Frank approached her and inquired if she's still thinking about purchasing Cassie's farmhouse. Nat explained her situation and that she's completely broke again so buying a house is a no-go. Frank was empathetic and knew Nat had been running herself ragged to save up as much cash as she could. He offered to bus her tables. She was grateful.

Coop was at the convenience store and called Beth, who chided him for calling her at home. She was angry when he informed her that he told Buzz about their fling. Then Alan unexpectedly walked into the store, saying he was looking for Coop. Coop was rattled by the encounter and quickly hung up on Beth. When Alan said he knows that Coop is back in his family's orbit, Coop panicked but was relieved when he realized Spaulding was just talking about Coop's new job as James's 8th grade English teacher.

Knowing that Nat was overworking herself with multiple jobs, Olivia offered her a raise, but Nat still refused to stop working at Company. Meanwhile, Bill confided in Mel that he wants to prove that someone set him up and is pleading not guilty. When he showed her the scar, she advised him to not to tell anyone. Later, Bill dutifully went to the police station with Mel in tow. Frank took his fingerprints and had him processed. Lizzie arrived and was shocked that Bill turned himself in. His bail was paid and he was let go. Lizzie suggested they leave town for awhile so they can reconnect.

Lizzie ran into Cyrus, who surprisingly helped her with a tip on how to conceal scars. She asked him to help her find the truth about the kidnapping. He accepted the job and relayed the news to Alan, demanding he pay up if he doesn't want to be implicated in the kidnapping scheme.... Frank blasted Olivia for not being good to Natalia, who went home after her shift, counted her measly tips and broke down in tears. Olivia, meanwhile, confronted Decker and asked him to give Nat's money back to her.

Mallet and Marina were cleaning up their house from the Thanksgiving gathering. Marina pointed out that people tend to become emotional and overdramatic during the holidays and often say things they can't remember the next day, thinking he'd forgot about wanting to marry her. He hadn't, so she said she was ready too do it soon. So, they went to Company to share the news with Buzz. Marina gushed that she can't wait to marry Mallet and said she wanted to brave her family alone. Natalia, meanwhile, overheard their exchange. After Marina left to find Buzz, Mallet made a curious call, saying "Hi. Yeah. She doesn't suspect anything."

Frank paid Rafe a visit in prison to talk about a job opportunity and Natalia. Rafe called Frank out on having feelings for his mom and said he thinks they'd be good together. Frank admitted he does like Nat. Meanwhile, Natalia was in tears in her room, praying and apologizing for ruining Rafe's life by losing all her money. Buzz gave her a little pep talk.

At the Beacon, Olivia asked Decker to give Nat her money back, explaining how poor Nat has always been and that she tends to have bad luck. He hesitated, but eventually agreed to give the idea some thought. Liv was grateful and departed but nearly collapsed again in the hall.

Nat went to the police station to ask Frank for two extra security guards for an upcoming event at the Beacon. He informed her that he visited Rafe and helped him score a job at the prison library so he could study for the GED. When Frank brought up Marina, Nat congratulated him on her upcoming wedding, but he was clueless about his daughter's plans. Nat felt terrible and had to leave after Liv called to say she's in trouble and needs an ambulance.

At Company, Marina was looking for Buzz to tell him her big wedding news when Coop revealed that the entire family booked tickets to go visit Harley in Europe in a few days and all Marina has to do is pack her bags. Marina was miffed that no one informed her before making the travel plans and reminded Coop that she has a life of her own. He reasoned that it was supposed to be a surprise and it's just the way the Coopers do things. Later, Marina railed at Frank for not taking her opinion into consideration before planning the trip and said she's tired of being at the bottom of the Cooper totem pole.

Mallet returned home with an unexpected guest: Eleni! Turns out, he paid for her to come back to Springfield to surprise Marina before their wedding. Eleni was wary about her daughter being with Mallet. He explained how their romance began and brought up the situation with Harley. Eleni grilled Mallet about why he wants to be with Marina. Mallet assured her that he loves Marina and that being with Dinah involved too much drama and he doesn't want that in his life anymore.

Nat rushed to Liv's aid at the Beacon; Decker overheard them discussing Liv's poor health. The women went to Cedars and Olivia's emotions got the best of her as she felt responsible for Nat losing her money, and for putting all of her other burdens on her. Nat waved off Liv's worries and dutifully attended Emma's recital in her place. Later, Olivia sobbed as she aired her grievances to Buzz, who told her it's okay to let someone else take care of her for once. Later, Decker unexpectedly arrived at Cedars to visit Olivia and railed at her for hiding her health problems from him. He offered to give Natalia's money back if Liv resigned from Galaxy and gave a public apology for her deception.

Marina rushed home, saying there's been a change of plans. Then, Eleni suddenly appeared and the mother/daughter had a sweet reunion and Marina gave her a tour. Meanwhile, Frank approached Coop to fish around for info on Marina's secret wedding plans. He surmised that she and Mallet are planning to elope without the family. He refused to let that happen and decided to throw a surprise ceremony for them.

After Marina showed Eleni the guest bedroom, she ran downstairs to tell Mallet about being sandbagged by her family and wondered if he'd mentioned their wedding plans to her mom; he hadn't. So, Marina suggested they tie the knot in private — without the rest of the Coopers. Meanwhile, Nat called Rafe, who urged her to just live her life and not worry about him.

Marina and Mallet paid Josh a visit bright and early to ask him to officiate their last-minute wedding tomorrow; he agreed. Marina rushed home before Eleni woke up and kept mum about her secret plans. Later, Eleni made breakfast and expressed her concerns about Marina's relationship with Mallet, urging her not to rush into marriage and saying that she needs to make sure she wants to spend her life with him before heading to the altar.

Jeffrey and Reva picked out their Christmas tree together. Reva admitted she's worried about her first chemo treatment. Jeffrey tried to console her. Later, they went to Cedars for her first round of therapy. The situation rattled a worried Jeffrey, who admitted he feels helpless and asked Reva what he can do to make her feel better. She requested a radio to help pass the time in chemo. Jeffrey returned home where he broke down and prayed for everything to be okay with Reva and the baby, adding that if anything bad happens he'd rather deal with it now than later.

Back in Germany, Dinah returned to the hospital and told the injured soldier that she knows he lied about his identity. He admitted he fibbed to her, then clamed (with a big smirk) that his real name is Travis Bickle. Dinah believed him and tried to press him for more information about his past and what happened to him, but he told her to buzz off. After, she phoned Mallet and asked him to to help her find more info on her soldier pal. Mallet was amused and told her that Travis Bickle is a fictional name. He also informed her that Bill is awake and is now part of the police investigation surrounding Lizzie's kidnapping. Then he revealed that he's going to marry Marina. Dinah was stunned and quickly hung up.

Shayne gave Reva a call. She was elated, but lied that she was out Christmas shopping. Shayne also withheld the truth, and claimed he was in a posh German hotel and doing well. They discussed Reva's pregnancy and she said she wished he'd come home. Later, Shayne spied Dinah in the hospital garden and explained to her that his injuries are the result of a land mine explosion. Then he revealed that he had a woman in his life, but she's gone now. Dinah also opened up and told Shayne about the situation with Bill and that her ex is planning to marry Marina Cooper tomorrow. Shayne's ears perked up at the mention of his own ex's name, but remained silent. Dinah told him she's returning to Springfield to take care of things and they parted ways without her ever finding out his real name.

Marina went to Towers and ran into Cyrus. She told him that about the impending nups, noting that she's got cold feet. He was surprised and then planted an unexpected kiss on her. Marina was miffed and blasted him for sending her mixed signals. Cyrus said he just wanted to help her realize that she doesn't want be with a guy like him and that he knows she'll be happier with Mallet. She thanked him and departed.

Eleni called Mallet out on the secret wedding plans. He 'fessed up and excitedly showed her the ring he purchased for Marina. Eleni promised to keep their elopement a secret, but was still wary and wondered if he and Marina had discussed having a family, pointing out that he can't have children and Marina wants them. When Marina returned, Mallet broached the offspring subject. Marina assured him that it doesn't matter and they can find a way to make things work.

Jeffrey returned to Cedars with his guitar and played a lullaby for Reva and the baby; she was touched.... Eleni went to Company and surprised Frank, who said he's planning to beat Mallet and Marina to the punch by throwing them a surprise Greek wedding, just like theirs and asked her to help him make it happen.... Shayne paid his doctor a visit and said he needs to go home to work out some things.
