Clint says there is only so much a man can take and hints that Nora is also having an affair. He reminds Matthew of the fact that Nora cheated on him with Bo while they were still married. Clint suggests Matthew call Nora and ask her himself. He dials Nora’s phone and Eddie answers it. Matthew demands to talk to his mother, but Eddie says, "She's tied up at the moment" and then hangs up. Now, Matthew is starting to believe it might be true. He tells Clint he needs to go. Clint tries to convince him to stay, but he pushes him aside. Clint says something like, "What about Rex?" and Matthew says, "What about him?" and leaves.
Eddie is getting bored, waiting around the motel room, so, he starts to undress Nora, unbuttoning her blouse; but then her cell phones alerts her of a text message, and Eddie has to see what it says. Bo says he doesn't want to sleep with Inez, but because of the way she is acting, he doesn't really want to sleep with her either. Eddie shoots back a text to Bo telling him to go ahead and just get Inez out of his system; and then leaves for the gym and his fight with Bobby.
Marty and Natalie are arguing and Marty calls her a "lying tramp." Natalie slaps Marty. Marty starts to slap her back, but Natalie grabs her arm and says, "Slap me once, shame on you. Slap me twice and I will kick your ass." [Marty previously slapped Natalie at the police station after blaming Natalie for Cole's arrest.] Marty says, "John deserves so much more than you; and you, Natalie, deserve to lose everything—just like me."
Natalie reminds Marty she is on probation and it wouldn’t take much for her to lose her license, especially since her uncle is the police commissioner. She makes sure Marty understands the consequences: "If I go down, you’re going with me." Marty tells Natalie to imagine how it feels when she goes to visit Cole and sees him die a little more each day. Natalie softly says she is sorry about Cole, but, he killed a man. Marty fires back, "And you don’t think you deserve to be punished?" Natalie: "Not by you."
Marty tells Natalie is only a matter of time until she springs the news on John. It could be at the christening when the whole family is there, or his first birthday, or his first day of school, or ten years from now when Cole gets out of prison, or maybe never. "But one thing is for sure, you will never know WHEN it will be." "What if I tell John myself, and tell him that you’ve been torturing me?" "You’re not going to tell him. You don’t have the guts." "We’ll see about that."
John stops by Llanfair to see Natalie and has a chance to chat with Rex about Natalie and the baby, and fatherhood etc. Rex asks John to keep in mind that Natalie would never hurt anyone on purpose. She's made mistakes, but she is terrified of failing John. "Did she tell you that?" "She didn’t have to; she was raised a Balsam, so it comes with the territory." [A reader wanted to know why Rex referred to Natalie as a "Balsam." The answer is: Because, they were both raised by Roxy and assumed she was their mother. It all had to do with a complicated plot devised by Mitch Lawrence. Roxy's husband at the time, was the doctor who delivered Viki's twins, and was working with Mitch. Mitch gave Natalie to Roxy to raise, and he let his own daughter, Jessica, enjoy the life of luxury with the Buchanans. Viki did not know she had been impregnated by Mitch or that she had delivered fraternal twins. The story of why Roxy raised Rex came out recently when we found out Rex was abandoned at Llanview hospital by Echo DiSavoy and that Allison Perkins, pretending to be a nurse, switched the babies when Roxy was giving birth to her own child by Mitch, Schuyler Joplin who is now in prison for kidnapping Gigi and trying to shoot Rex.] Whew—sometimes it doesn't make much sense even after I explain it!
Anyway, Rex mentions he is on his way out to try and find Eddie Ford. John tips off Rex that Eddie is staying at the MinuteMan Motel, and he happens to know that he is at the gym. Rex leaves.
When Natalie gets back to Llanfair, John is waiting for her. She says she has something to tell him, but he says he has something to tell her, and she always gets to go first—and then he gets down on one knee and proposes.
Inez opens a couple of capsules and puts her prescription sedative into Bo's beer. Bo drinks the beer, yawns and starts to get very sleepy, so he says he needs to get home. Inez convinces him to stay since he seems too tired to drive. But soon, he slowly falls asleep. She stares at him, trying to decide what she should do next. Then Clint calls to ask if she took care of it yet. She says not yet, but Bo is there. Clint says: Just get it done!
Clint then calls Eddie and is shocked to find out he is “out” and not keeping an eye on Nora. He tells him to get Nora over to Inez’s apartment asap because something is about to happen and “it is crucial that Nora sees it.”
Inez wakes up Bo, but he is so drugged, he hallucinates that she is Nora when she says, "Bo, I need you to make love to me." Bo starts kissing Inez.
Rex knocks on the door of Eddie’s motel room and Nora tries to make noise, but the radio is on.
Matthew drives over to Inez’s apartment. The door is slightly ajar, so he opens it a little further and looks in. He sees Bo and Inez kissing on the sofa.
Dun, dun, da....
