Center stage is Dorian and Rex; Echo, Chuckles and Viki; Bo and Robert Ford; Aubrey and Clint; and Joey, Kelly, Cutter and Aubrey.
After Dean McKenzie shows Bo and Ford the $50,000 she found when cleaning out Ford's office, Bo and Ford go to police station for a chat. Ford wants to know if he is under arrest, and Bo says, "No, not yet."
Ford is firm that he did not take the money from the motel room AND he did not kill his father. Bo wants to know why was the cash in his office. Ford says, "Someone planted the money, just like they planted the gun in my mother's apt. You have got to believe. Bo says, "I do." Ford is stunned, and answers back, "You do?"
Bo wants to know where he got the money. Ford tells him the whole story of how he got it from Clint, because he had something on him. He tells Bo about Mr. Black and Mr. Blue and how Clint ate a sandwich while they practically beat him to death. He explains to Bo the beating was because of his involvement with Jessica when she wasn't herself; and then when she turned up pregnant, there was a possibility he could be the father of her baby, and Clint wasn't going to let that happen. He adds, "Apparently, Clint is really into revenge." Bo lowers his eyes and nods his head. Bo appreciates that Ford leveled with him and says he will talk to Dean McKenzie and see if there is anything he can do to help.
Starr finds out from James about his scholarship problem, but then finds out that he also texted Michelle about it. When Michelle finds James, she says she thinks there is something they can do to help and she is going to check into it. She goes on to say, he can depend on his friends. "Right Starr?". "Right."
Aubrey goes to see Clint and gets right to the point. "If the pre-nup was designed to get rid of me, it's not going to work. We're crazy in love and we're going to get married, no matter what. Except that now, in Joey's eyes—you're the bad guy."
"I don't mind being the bad guy. That's something I learned from my pa. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do."
Clint calls Aubrey "cheeky." She tells Clint, he will un-disinherit Joey or else. "There's no tricks, no traps, except for the one you set for yourself. Either restore Joey's inheritance or risk your other son getting his hands on the family fortune. I'm looking forward to the christening. It will be too bad if your daughter finds out her baby daddy isn't who she thinks it is."
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Fix this, or I'll fix you."
When Joey drops by Cutter's room and finds Kelly, he wants to know why she is there. Cutter tells him they are having a breakfast date. Joey gets all bent out of shape and says, "Kelly are you kidding me? What about Kevin." She explains that Kevin was more or less an experiment that didn't really work out." Joey: "So, in other words, Mr. Right is still out there?" She acknowledges that "yes" that is how it is. Joey apologizes then leaves.
Rex and Dorian meet at The Palace because she wants to hire him to investigate Clint Buchanan. He wants to know why. "Because I think he's a liar. Not only a liar, but a vicious and vindictive snake."
"What do you think you will find out?"
"I think Clint has done something dreadful to someone." Rex wants to know who this "someone" is, but Dorian is still working up the nerve to tell him. She does finally blurt out that Clint is his father and not Charlie and that Clint tampered with the DNA test. She suggests he have another test done. Rex refuses to believe what she is saying, and adds, even if it is true, he doesn't want to know, because he would rather have Charlie as a father than Clint.
Echo and Charlie are having a little "love in" in the Llanfair living room. They have just come back from an AA meeting and she tells Chuckles she doesn't think she has the confidence to follow through with the sobriety. Then, she confesses her feelings to him. Viki gives them a minute, but then enters the room. Charlie jumps up like a kid caught doing something his mother told him not to do. [Boy, that guy is a handful! Viki is a SAINT.]
Echo offers to take the photos of the christening, but Viki says Joey is a
professional photographer and HE will be taking the photos, since it is going to be strictly a family affair. Echo excuses herself to go make tea for everyone. Charlie makes excuses for Echo, saying she was just trying to be nice, yada, yada, yada, but then adds: "Viki, how can you, of all people, be so ungenerous." Viki almost blows a fuse and then tells Charlie, "She is very, very good, and very, very convincing; and people are going to be hurt—you, me and mostly Rex.
Rex shows up at Llanfair and makes small talk about Shane skipping math class. Before he leaves, Rex takes Charlie's tea cup so he can do another DNA test.
Bo drops by Clint's office again. This time, Bo mentions the $50K and Clint plays dumb. Bo says not to worry, because "one of these days, every miserable thing you've done is going to come crashing down on you."
Just before everyone leaves for the christening, Aubrey reassures Joey that not only does she love him, but his father also loves him and he is going to come around. Everything is going to work out.
Dun, dun, da....
