Danny is there to ask about a bill for Ray's stay. He goes to the elevator and runs into Michelle. Michelle tries to ignore him but he stops her and asks why she can't be polite at least. She tells him it hurts too much. He tells her that he would have pulled out his heart and gave it to her he loved her so. She said all she wanted was for him to deny his families ways. He said she would never understand that everything he did was to accomplish that for her. He says that she thinks she is the only one that knows right from wrong. He asks her if she ever loved him, he doesn't know how he ever fit into her picture of perfection. He tells her that in the real world you have to do what you have to do to protect the ones you love. He tells her that he is glad he is back with his family who accepts him for who he is and doesn't make him wake up thinking he is wrong and needing to apologize for being a terrible person.

She tells him it is a sign and she can't go through with the pregnancy. He tells her that she can't, she has to give herself some time.

Reva talks about Ramona and how Diego's last words were for her and she isn't there.

She said it was a long time coming and it got a lot out into the open. He starts to ask more about it but Harley wants the evening to be all about them and no one else. She even suggests they both turn off their cell phones. Phillip asks about the babysitter and Harley said she knows where they are if it is an emergency. Then he tells her that Beth wanted them to come by to talk about the christening. Harley gets upset and says she feels the whole evening was a setup to get her to go by Beth's. It's all about Beth.

Reva asks Woody when he and Noah met. He says that Noah saved his life 12 years ago. He tells her about his prostate cancer and how all the doctors said it was terminal until Dr Chase came along and saved him. Woody looked over at Noah at the bar and mentioned that he was drinking a lot. He asks Reva if she wants to go somewhere more private. Reva tells him that she doesn't know him enough to go somewhere alone with him and frankly she doesn't believe that he is an economist and is only using that as a couple. Woody tells her that he is a little guilty if you think about it. He tells her all economists are frauds. Reva said he is as hard to pin down as Noah is and then she noticed that Noah was still drinking. She said that Noah wouldn't even be able to stagger out of there.

Noah invites himself to join them and is pretending to be drunk. Woody tells him to get lost. Noah tells Woody his judgment is impaired and he might do something he regrets. Reva tells Woody Noah warned her he was a lady-killer. Woody wants to talk to Noah outside, but Reva objects. Reva sees his drink and says he is drunk on club soda and bitters, and gets mad. Woody smiles at him. The waiter brings caviar over and Reva again asks Noah to leave. He refuses. Reva tells them both that neither of them are making since and she isn't taking it anymore. She tells them things just don't add up. She thinks they are both lying and she is out of there. They offer her a ride home but she tells them she will catch a ride with Harley and Phillip.

She tells him that her dad wasn't there but that Beth is upstairs. He tells her he was there to see her and gave her a gift. She opened it and he told her it was another of his favorite books. Cousin Bette, (I believe that is by Honore De Balzac). He tells her it is as good as The Prince and it was also about annihilating your enemies with intelligence. She thanks him and tells him that she never knew reading could be so fun. Beth comes down and greets Edmund. Susan turns to the back of the book and starts reading the ending first. He tells her that his father always told him that reading the ending first was morally reprehensible as well as a lack of intellectual breeding. He smiled and told her that is why he always reads the last chapter first as well. She smiles and he tells her that in this case she may want to hold off. It will be worth it to read the book in order. Susan asked him to stay for a while and she would be back in a moment. She went upstairs and Beth thanked Edmund for all the help with Susan. Beth tells him that Lizzie may get a little jealous of he and Susan's bonding. Edmund said he hopes not, he would never want to hurt any of the women in that home. Beth offers Edmund a drink but he said he needs to be going. She invites him to the christening but he is afraid that Phillip and Jim wouldn't appreciate it. She tells him that the girls would love it. He said he would be there. He started to leave and Susan came downstairs. She tells Edmund to wait and gives him a gift. She tells him that is one of her favorite things. He opens it and looks at it. He is visibly touched. Susan explained that it is a picture from Swan Lake, a gift from her mother the year before she died. She tells him that it was from the first Ballet they had went to and she cherished the memory so. Edmund had tears in his eyes and tells her that she shouldn't part with something that precious. She tells him that her mother always told her that they should share the things they love with the people they love. She gives him a kiss and excuses herself to go to some homework. Edmund breaks down a bit in front of Beth and wipes his eyes. He tells her that the picture is the most amazing gift he had ever received. He tells her that it had been a long time since anyone had given him a present and again apologizes for being emotional. Beth tells him that he deserves it and hugs him.

At the Lewises':
Marah and Josh are talking. She is happy that they went to the movies and there was no Olivia. He says he enjoys Olivia and just because they had a fight doesn't mean they are breaking up. Marah asks if he is settling for Olivia after the great love he had with Reva. Josh says stability is important and he isn't settling, Olivia is a wonderful person. Marah asks if getting swept away isn't what it is all about even when you know it is unhealthy for you. He asks her if she is talking about someone in particular but she tells him no, that it was just the sappy movie that got her emotional. Josh tells her that stability is it's own beautiful romance and says his parents had that, a stable quiet love and were very happy. He hopes Marah will learn from her parent's mistakes and have that kind of love.
