Suzanne is let down as she feels there is no hope for her and Cruz. Katrina tells her that it was Eden's wish for them to get together and that's the reason why she used her personality. Cassandra, Mason and Julia find the man who sold the painting and ask him for information about the woman who's painted it.

He wakes up in a fright and ponders the outcome of his fate.

Julia tries her best to get rid of Mason. He asks her if she thinks that he'll never be truly happy if he marries Cassandra. Julia does not know how to even respond to his question. He rationalizes that Julia wants to see him married just so that he can get a divorce the moment a beautiful woman comes along. Julia retorts that she doesn't know how his mind works and that is the reason their marriage failed. Mason confesses that their marriage ended because he was overwhelmed by their feelings which led him to make stupid mistakes, but he never stopped loving Julia, and that he wanted their marriage vows to last forever. Julia questions his sincerity this time round. Mason vows to make Cassandra happy and that he is truly lucky to have found someone who loves him in spite of all his shortcomings. Julia wishes him well and asks him not to "tempt" her. She confesses that she will always be tempted no matter how angry she is, and that she will always care about him, but not enough for her to marry him. Mason heads for the door, but counters that the reason Julia won't marry him is because she loves him too much. With that, he is out the door with a chuckle, leaving Julia frustrated.

Warren takes Cassandra to the dock and Mason hunts them with a taxi. Warren blocks the road and he leaves with Cassandra by the boat he has rented, leaving Mason completely outraged in the harbour. C.C mentions to the maid the people that wiil attend the family dinner to welcome Ted and he doesn't mention Craig although he asks him to find Katrina. Santana tells C.C that she doesn't want to come to the dinner because she feels uncomfortable being either half-family like Gina or just the daughter of the maid. C.C assures her that she is only invited because she realy is a member of the family and the most desirable woman he's ever seen. Craig acts according to C.C's orders and threatens Katrina to stay away from her rapist-boyfriend and her murderer-boss if she wants to be liked by C.C and stay in the country.

The boat runs out of oil and is left in the middle of the river. Warren tells Cassandra they should go to Alcatraz that is near by and ask for help and Cassandra inevitably laughs about the ridiculousness of the whole thing....
