BEN'S HOUSE: Ben told Bette that he smashed the
painting of Maria in a
fit of anger over her betrayal, but that he has since
learned that Maria never
betrayed him. He has decided to get rid of it, because
his future is with Meg.
When Bette asked him some questions about the
painting, Ben told her that
Maria intentionally didn't paint her face on the
portrait, because she felt that
what was most important was on the inside. Also, she
painted herself in the
swing because the swing was soothing to her. Bette
suggested that Ben have
the painting repaired and give it to Carmen.
Bette decided to hit Ben up for a scoop. First, she
suggested that Ben and
Meg get married on the Internet, but Ben refused. When
she begged Ben
for something she can print, he informed her that they
were getting married
at St. Joseph's. Bette reminded him that Ben and Maria
got married there,
but he said that Meg insisted. Later, Ben brought a
man from a gallery to
give an estimate on repairing the portrait.
JAVA WEB: While Tim was researching Ben and Maria's
wedding, Sara
tried to engage him in conversation. When she realized
what he was doing,
she told him that she knows he's up to no good and
warned him not to mess
up Meg's wedding.
When Casey approached her, Sara excused herself to
help plan Meg's
wedding. Casey asked her why she was avoiding him. He
wondered if she
was still upset about the kiss, because he felt like
he has lost her friendship.
She said that she's just stressing about the pictures,
but he assured her that
no more damage could come from those pictures.
Sean swore Emily to secrecy about his rapping,
insisting that it is for his own
enjoyment, not to sell records. She countered that
maybe it would be good
for others to hear his music. Sean was flattered that
Emily wanted him to
perform in public, but he still refused. Later, Emily
asked Bette, in a
roundabout way, about her difficulty getting through
to Sean about his
music. Bette advised Emily to trust her instincts in
the matter.
Gabi and Ricardo saw Sara and Casey for the first time
since the cruise.
Ricardo took Casey aside to ask him some questions
about Melinda's
death. Gabi asked Sara about her relationship with
Casey, which Sara
insists is non-existent. Casey offered to help Sara
plan the wedding. Gabi
suggest to Sara that things may work out between them
yet. Later, Ricardo
and Gabi made a date to go to his place for dinner.
CEDAR OAKS: Despite Maria's misgivings regarding
meeting Antonio,
Meg persuaded Maria to go to St. Joseph's with her.
ST. JOSEPH'S: Gabi spotted the journal on Antonio's
desk. He admitted
that it is his "examination of conscience" and that it
helped him with
problems. She asked him if he has it out because he's
having second
thoughts about letting Francesca move in with him.
Ricardo got rid of Gabi
so that he can be alone with his brother. He
apologized for overreacting.
The brothers reminisced about Maria.
The wedding chapel overwhelmed Maria. When Meg went to
meet with
Antonio, Maria stayed in the chapel, because it made
her feel warm and
safe. Antonio was drinking coffee from a mug with
Maria's picture on it,
which promptly tipped over (picture side down) when
Meg came in the
room. Meg told Antonio that she brought her friend
with her, and that she
was nervous about meeting him, because she seemed to
be afraid of priests.
Meg and Antonio went to see Maria. Meanwhile, Maria
was having an
episode of some sort.
SURF CENTRAL: Vanessa thanked Tyus for curing her of
Martin's
Syndrome and allowing her to have a future with
Michael. Alone in the
kitchen, Virginia told Michael that she thinks that
Tyus is in love with
Vanessa. He knew that already, and insisted he wasn't
jealous about it.
Virginia decided, once again, that she, and not
Vanessa, deserved Michael.
After all, she rationalized, it was because of her
interference that Vanessa
got the cure for Martin's Syndrome, and so Vanessa
owed her something.
Meanwhile, Tyus told Michael that there's another side
effect of Martin's
Syndrome. In some cases, it rendered men sterile.
THE BEACH: Sara was served with a subpoena to appear
before the
special investigator prosecuting Congressman Blythe.
CEDAR OAKS: A nurse told Tim that Maria went to St.
Joseph's with
Meg.
