Harley had trouble making the adjustment to prison despite a cell larger than most college dorm rooms and an extensive supply of P&G beauty products. She tried to get to know her roommate, oops cellmate, Lena. Nothing doing. “I don’t do girl talk,” spat Lena. Harley fared even worse when she shared an unhappy reunion with the new warden… her ex-husband, Mallet. “What’s worse than being stuck in prison?” she queried. “Being stuck in prison with your ex-husband who cheated on you.” Not the reunion I was expecting, replied Mallet. “Really? This is exactly how I pictured it. I figured you’d come visit me in prison. You’d flash me that smile. Sure, I’d forgive you. And the next thing you know, it’s lockdown,” Harley mused. Still, she took comfort in his arms when the reality of prison life overwhelmed her.
Dinah arranged a meeting with Blake, Ross, Tammy, Edmund and Cassie to announce that she’s having Cassie and Edmund’s baby. “We’re all family now,” she grinned. Blake, Ross and Tammy proved less enthusiastic. “This is almost as bad as thinking two different guys fathered your twins,” Blake opined. Cassie nearly accepted Edmund’s offer to spend the night together at the farm, but Jeffrey arrived in time to talk her out of it. Instead, Edmund arrived home to find Dinah naked in his bed.
Tony stormed off after spotting Michelle and Danny kissing and returned to break up their romantic interlude with Robbie. Tony convinced Michelle to marry him the following day, as Danny explained to his son that both he and Tony love Michelle.
Gus tried to make nice with Olivia, but she accused him of seeking out any possible suspect who could help clear Harley. Back off, Bill told Gus when Olivia left, she’s still having nightmares about Phillip. Way to put your wife at the top of Gus’ suspect list, Bill.

Tony surprised Michelle with plans for their pending wedding…and a new court date for her divorce from Danny. (Now that’s a nontraditional wedding gift!) Meanwhile, Danny met Marina at the Bauer house and postponed their trip to Chicago…again. While she worried that he was putting off their vacation because of Michelle, he assured Marina that he was merely concerned about Robbie. Marina later had a run-in with Tony who hoped to enlist her help in keeping Danny and Michelle apart. No deal, she replied. Back at the Bauer house, Danny and Michelle relived old times and kissed, just as Tony arrived. Ooops.
Bill came to the Spaulding mansion to discuss business but the situation turned personal when Alan spilled that Olivia had moved back in to the manse. Bill urged Olivia to see that Alan is using her. “You can only be betrayed by someone you trust. At least here no one pretends to love me,” she spat. Alan put Olivia in charge of the Lewis Construction acquisition and she and Bill prepared to face off over the deal.
Tammy and Sandy walked in on Jonathan having another argument with the mystery caller. When the couple asked about the situation, Jon announced that he is leaving Springfield…and not telling Reva. No way, insisted Sandy and Tammy.
Cassie announced to a shocked Jeffrey that Dinah is carrying her baby — and he demanded to be included in the ladies’ first joint doctor’s appointment. But Dinah had a surprise in store: she called Edmund and told him to come to the hospital. “Riding to Cassie’s rescue every two minutes must be time consuming,” Edmund snarked to Jeffrey upon arrival. Cassie kicked Jeff out and she and Edmund were moved to see their baby on the monitor for the first time — even though it is growing inside her mortal enemy.

A mysterious figure watched as Gus and Alan argued at Phillip’s grave. Gus caught on that someone else was there, but Alan fretted his son might go bonkers like Phillip. Gus visited Harley in prison, where they staged a fight for the benefit of the other inmates, who already knew that Harley used to be a cop. The prison warden — Harley’s ex-husband Mallet — ordered a guard to bring her to his office the next morning. When Gus returned to his room he, received a note: “Don’t you hate it when someone gets away with murder.” That won’t be good for the ulcer.
Holly came to Bill’s apartment to warn him that Olivia was with Sebastian and they weren’t “playing Scrabble.” After Holly left, Michelle showed and told an excited Bill that she got her memory back. She and Bill bonded over their romantic dilemmas. “You’re lying about sleeping with someone and I’m lying about not sleeping with someone. We are some pair,” he cracked…Sebastian and Olivia commiserated over her break-up with Bill, but when Sebastian headed back for his room, expecting Olivia to follow, he got a surprise from Holly instead, who insisted that she’s finally over him. When he went in for a kiss, all he got was a kiss-off.
Coop gave Lizzie notice that he planned to quit his job at Company because of the Spauldings’ role in sending Harley to prison, but she brought him to her father’s grave to remind him that she had lost something too. Alan walked in Coop comforting Lizzie, and ordered his granddaughter to fire Coop immediately. When she refused, Alan dragged her back to the manse. Coop then took his turn railing at Phillip’s grave and was surprised to find that a rose had been placed on the headstone. Meanwhile Olivia arrived at the Spaulding mansion ready to take Alan up on his offer to let her move back in. “You’d better be careful or your face is going to freeze like that,” she scolded a shocked Lizzie.

Reva agreed to a romantic getaway with Josh — which she dubbed “the magical menopause tour” — despite her concerns over Jonathan’s erratic behavior. Meanwhile Jonathan proved mommy dearest has reason for concern when he received another mysterious phone call about Reva.
Gus stormed into Bill and Olivia’s apartment and slugged Bill for “sleeping” with Harley, much to the dismay of Bill’s missus, who took a swing at the accused-philanderer herself. Olivia walked out on Bill and found comfort in Sebastian’s arms. Gus made a scene at a Spaulding business function and pleaded at Phillip’s grave for his dead brother’s help in clearing Harley.
Holly made a deal to sell Alan half of the Journal in exchange for a piece of the Spaulding pie. Sebastian was not pleased.
Edmund sought comfort at the the Beacon Hotel bar, where he ran into Josh and asked “hypothetically” what Josh thought of Edmund impregnating another woman with Cassie’s embryo. Wow, what a bad idea, responded Josh. Little does he know…Undeterred, Edmund headed back to Cassie’s and walked in just as his wife professed her love for him to Dinah. But when Edmund planted a kiss on Cassie, Dinah interrupted by setting off the kitchen smoke detector, ruining the steamy moment. Time to go, announced Cassie, snapping Edmund back to reality.

Cassie proved herself the only sensible person in the room when she blasted Edmund and Dinah upon learning that Dinah is carrying her child. “Dinah Marler is the last person on earth I would want to carry my baby,” she railed as she accused Edmund of choosing to go ahead with the pregnancy without her as a way to control her. (Ya think?) Dinah scolded Cassie for “sounding so ungrateful” and reminded Cass that there was no guarantee she’d have been able to carry the bambino herself. When Dinah tripped and fell, Cassie showed her protectiveness toward the new baby and shoed Edmund away. Dinah placed Cassie’s hand on her stomach and urged her to accept the child growing inside her. Cassie decided to move back into her home with Dinah until the baby is born…but insisted Edmund find a new place to live….
Danny postponed the hearing for his divorce from Michelle so that he could comfort Marina, who broke down after Harley’s sentencing. Later at Company, Michelle slipped and referred to Danny as “my husband” in front of Marina. Marina corrected that Danny would soon be Michelle’s ex and informed her that she is falling in love with Danny and won’t let anything get in the way of their romance. Tony confronted Danny about postponing the hearing and indeed Danny conceded to Michelle that he cancelled their court date so they could discuss what her memory loss meant for their relationship. Michelle and Danny each confessed that getting the sense knocked back into her had changed their situation….
Josh tried to console Reva about the child they would never have, but she told him that she needed time to think and walked out. Meanwhile at J. Farley’s, Jonathan tuned down Tammy’s offer of another pool game with her and Sandy. “I’m not going to hang out with Ken and Barbie tonight,” he snarked. Tammy got a call from Josh asking her to bring Sandy and come cheer Reva up so they headed for the house…but Reva arrived at the bar for a drink and commiserated with Jonathan over her menopause (just the conversation every young man wants to have with his mother). “Men hit middle age, they get sports cars. Women hit middle age, they get hot flashes,” she lamented. Eventually Reva went home, but upon finding Tammy and Sandy with Josh, she high-tailed it back out the door. Jonathan received a mysterious phone call and urged the person on the other end not to come as he doesn’t have Reva where he wants her yet. Cue the ominous music.
