THE RUBIES
Hillary shows up at the same restaurant as Cole, Caitlin, AJ and Olivia. Bernie calls her there and asks her to help him by getting the jewels back quickly - he is on the verge of a breakdown. She told him to calm down, she is doing the best she can. Meanwhile, AJ told Cole and Olivia that he sold the ruby necklace to Gregory after he made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Cole notices Hillary across the room and excuses himself from the group. He asks Hillary what she is doing there and what is wrong with her. Hillary warns him that he will lose what he loves the most if he keeps going after the jewels. At that moment, Caitlin shows up. Hillary repeats her threat and leaves. When Caitlin asks about Hillary, Cole dismisses her as a flake and sends Caitlin back to the table. He then calls the restaurant pretending to be his foreman and asks them to relay a message that he is needed at work. He acts disappointed when the waiter delivers the news and leaves the restaurant. Caitlin is upset that Cole left and senses that something is wrong.
Hillary comes over to the table and repeats her threat to Caitlin. Hillary then rushes to see Bernie where she reasons that they have been using the wrong approach to their problem. She now understands that the best way to get the jewels back from Cole is to go after what he loves the best.
Olivia is shocked by Hillary's outburst and asks Caitlin if she thinks Cole is involved with Hillary. Caitlin says she is not worried about her, she is worried about Francesca. Olivia prods her to open up by reassuring her that she loves her and would never gloat. Caitlin says she is suspicious because Cole is never around and when he is his mind is somewhere else. He has also been evading her plans for quality time with vague excuses. She is more concerned that he may be into something illegal. Olivia offers to help her get to the bottom of it.
Cole rushes to Francesca's room where he catches her on her way out. He wants to know what is going on with the jewels. He told her about Hillary's threats. She gets scared and wants to leave for Rosario immediately. Cole stops her by revealing that Gregory has the jewels and he will help her to steal them. When questioned about his motives, Cole says that he would love to get back at Gregory for all that he has done. Francesca wants to know the real reason because revenge is not his style. Cole tentatively states that he owes her his life and wants to help her fulfill the promise she made to God in exchange for his survival. She thanks him for his thoughtfulness and is visibly moved.
Gregory gives the ruby necklace to Annie. (The stones glow and we hear the chanting from them.) Gregory explains that the gift is an apology for overreacting about Maria. She is overwhelmed by the gesture and is thrilled that he cares. Annie notes that this is the first gift he has given her that didn't involve some kind of game and believes it is a milestone in their relationship. Gregory runs down all of the things he loves about her. She thanks him, teases him a bit and they make love. Later, Annie has a dream that Olivia, Cole, Caitlin and AJ are in bed with them! All of the secrets come out and everyone wants the necklace. She wakes up and realizes that she wants to keep it for herself.
Cole returns to the restaurant to tell Caitlin that he will be out late. He arrives just in time to see Annie arrive wearing the necklace.
THE KANSAS CLAN
Everyone offers congratulations to the Cummings on the opening of the restaurant. Sarah and Casey are there for their first "date". Before leaving the restaurant for Ben and Meg's, Casey wants to talk with Sarah. He told her that he likes her a lot and has for some time, but wanted to be sure he was over his last heartbreak before pursuing anything. He wants to know how Sarah feels. Sarah assures him that she wants to be more than friends. They kiss.
Leo refuses to tell Amy and Brad where Sean and Emily are. In actuality, Sean has taken Emily to see his new apartment that he rents from the Cummings in exchange for helping them at Shockwave. Emily is nervous because the only furniture she sees is a bed. She explains to Sean that she is afraid of following in her mother's footsteps - sex doesn't necessarily mean a man is in it for the long haul. Sean reassures her and they promise to take it slow.
Sean and Emily return to the restaurant. Emily runs into Amy who says she knows where she was. She went on to say that even if they haven't slept together yet, if she is anything like her mother they will soon. Emily slaps her.
GABY/RICARDO/ANTONIO
Antonio quickly gives Gaby a towel to cover up when she appears in a bikini. Ricardo comes in and relays Dr. Estrada's approval for a visit to Maria today. When Ricardo and Gaby kiss, Antonio excuses himself with an "if anyone cares" remark. Gaby senses that something is wrong with Antonio and asks Ricardo about him. Ricardo agrees with her observation. They decide to keep their eyes open to see if they can figure out what is bothering him.
Antonio returns with the pocket watch that Maria gave him. When Ricardo runs to get his jacket, Antonio notices the watch has stopped. As Gaby reaches to help him fix it, Antonio jerks his hand away. Gaby is offended. He tries to say that he was worried it would break, but she doesn't buy it.
