Harley and Gus confronted Daisy with her final notice to appear in family court for cutting school. Daisy claimed she would finally try to do better. Mel acted as Daisy's lawyer, and the judge confronted the teen about ditching school and driving to Chicago. Harley was stunned that Daisy took the car for the unauthorized trip. The judge explained that if Harley believed she could control Daisy, he would send the teen home. Harley claimed the Daisy needed more help than she could provide, so the judge sentenced Daisy to at least two months in juvie. Daisy asked to be put in lock-down immediately because she didn't want to spend a moment alone with Harley. Harley promised to come visit her daughter, but Daisy congratulated her mother on successfully getting rid of her.

Dylan fretted about a business meeting, but Reva assured he would be fine. Reva revealed that she didn't want to go back to work at Lewis, and Dylan accused her of avoiding Josh. Meanwhile, Josh wasn't sure he wanted a welcome home party, but Cassie insisted — and insisted that Reva be invited to the bash as well. Billy told Josh that he was ready to turn the family business back over to Josh. Cassie invited Reva to Josh's party at Company. Reva turned her sister down, explaining that she was fine with the way her last, tense conversation with Cassie had ended. Dylan told Josh and Billy that Cassie was with Reva. "And you left them alone together?!" Billy gasped.

A drunken Remy annoyed Coop at Company. Coop introduced Natalia to Remy and then left her alone with a restaurant full of customers (on her first day!). Cassie and Wanda arrived for Josh's bash, and Wanda griped that it didn't look like much of a party. Josh arrived, and Reva soon followed, giving Josh a long, lingering hug. Dylan probed Josh about Cassie and Reva, but Josh assured that he had picked Cassie and he loves her. Dylan was unconvinced, claiming that Josh and Reva had a once-in-a-lifetime love. Josh made a speech, announcing that he wasn't returning to work at Lewis. Wanda was upset, but Josh assured she would love working for Billy. Rick and Remy clashed over Rick's affair with Beth. Natalia chided Remy that acting out was no way to honor Tammy. Gus and Harley arrived, and Natalia called Gus "Nick." Harley wondered if they knew each other. Meanwhile, Cassie asked ghostTammy if it was wrong to smile and have fun.

"Hello, Alan," greeted Josh on Main Street. "You're alive and I'm free. Happy spring." Beth introduced her male personal trainer to Alan, and Alan fired him on the spot. "If you're going to be by my side, you have to get used to boundaries and limitations," Alan warned and handed Beth her itinerary for the rest of the day. Meanwhile, Reva confessed to Cassie that she never stopped loving Josh. "I don't care how you feel," spat Cassie. "How dare you!" But Cassie's anger didn't stop Reva from confiding that she had already confessed her feelings to Josh: "I told him that I had never stopped loving him. That I wanted him back. That I would never stop wanting him back." When Josh called Cassie, she didn't tell him that she was with Reva. "I've done enough sacrificing to last a lifetime," claimed Reva and Cassie made it clear that she wouldn't step aside either. Cassie told Reva it would be better if Reva wasn't in the wedding party after all. (Duh!)

Jeffrey coached Ashlee on her testimony for her sentencing. Coop was bummed that Jeffrey didn't want him to serve as a character witness because he wanted it to appear that Ashlee was alone in the world. Coop said Doris wouldn't show up at the hearing, implying that he had tampered with her vehicle. Ashlee came face-to-face with Josh and apologized for letting him go to prison. Josh offered to testify on Ashlee's behalf. "I forgive you," he said. "It took you a while, but you did the right thing." A grateful Ashlee surprised him with a hug. Ashlee was sentenced to three years in juvenile hall. Josh made Ashlee promise not to waste her second chance. Alan looked on as Reva watched Josh walk by. "What a guy!" snarked Alan and spilled to Reva that Josh helped Ashlee get a lighter sentence. Alan wondered why Reva wasn't fighting for Josh. "Reva Shayne can do anything," he claimed. "At least the old one could....What did they do, cut your guts out when they cut your cancer out?" Alan accused Reva of losing her edge. Reva said if she wanted Josh back she could get him. Meanwhile, Josh and Cassie discussed Ashlee's sentence. Josh explained that being in prison made him more forgiving. Josh claimed they had a lot to look forward to, but Cassie looked troubled. Josh apologized for shutting her out while she was in prison, and Cassie confessed to following Alan and threatening Beth while Josh was locked up.

Frank chided Buzz for sending wedding invites by e-mail. Buzz promised that the rush wasn't because he and Olivia were planning a shotgun wedding — Buzz simply wanted to give Olivia everything she wants. Frank wondered if Buzz was moving up the wedding date because of Jeffrey. "[Olivia] needs to know that she's loved," Buzz deflected. Meanwhile, Ava told Olivia that she wants Coop back because she still loves him. Olivia agreed to help and asked Ava to be her maid of honor. Olivia greeted Buzz with a kiss and convinced him to make Coop his best man instead of Frank, hoping to help Ava reconnect with her ex. Ava offered to not take part in Olivia and Buzz's wedding if her presence made him uncomfortable, but he assured her that her participation didn't bother him. When Ashlee arrived to say goodbye to Coop before turning herself in for juvie, Olivia guilted her into leaving so as not to ruin Coop's happiness on his dad's big day. Jeffrey chided Olivia for her behavior and sent Coop after Ashlee. Buzz saw Jeffrey leave in a huff following his argument with Olivia.

Reva rehearsed a speech for Josh about their making love, noting that "things could get very messy." Suddenly, Josh appeared and said he liked things messy and kissed her deeply...then Reva woke from her daydream at the prison. As she tentatively stepped toward the real Josh, Cassie leaped into his arms and kissed him. They were surprised to see Reva there. Josh wanted some normal food, so he hugged Reva and shook her hand. Cassie thanked her sister for "being there" for Josh.

Josh greeted RJ with hugs, while Reva returned to her room at the Beacon alone and slugged Champagne directly from the bottle. On the verge of tears, she went through a box of photos, breaking down when she came to a drawing Shayne made of "Mom and Dad." At that moment, Josh was looking a drawing RJ made of "Mom + blank." RJ asked if it was okay to right "Dad" under Josh's image. Josh scribbled it in, and RJ said "Thanks, Dad," and hugged him. Josh kissed Cassie long and deep. The weeping Reva moaned, "I'm so much better than this," while swigging Champagne (from a flute this time). She phoned up Marah to tell her the good news. Meanwhile, Josh ran into Rev. Ruthledge on Main Street. Josh apologized for being brusque with him in the joint, and the reverend warned him not to waste his second chance. Cassie asked Ruthledge to officiate at their wedding — whenever that is. Back at the Beacon, Josh got a message from Billy, seeking help. Instead of going to his brother, Josh texted "Meet Me" to Reva — who met him at the lighthouse.

"Cassie doesn't know I'm here," he revealed, then asked Reva to make sure Cassie doesn't find out what happened between them, because he can't expect Cassie to understand. But Reva said she's not on the same page. "You love Cassie, and I love you," she blurted. She went to the prison to tell him she never stopped loving him, and they had made love because they both needed it. It wasn't fear, "It was us." Josh pointed out that she had pushed him away; he loved her the best he could. He had fought for her his entire life, but now he's trying to move on. She claimed she pushed him away because of the cancer and the veterans center, but "knew" he'd still be there — or she'd be dead. She never thought he'd find someone else to love enough to stay away. "I want something different," he confessed. He escorted her back to her room, then rushed inside when he heard her trip over the box of photos. He spotted Shayne's drawing and she made him keep it. "I'm gonna love you until they put me in my grave," she said while throwing him out. "And I'm going to love you just as long," he answered. She wanted him to be happy, even if they can't agree on how to make that happen.

Josh returned to Cassie, embraced her and they made love. Meanwhile, Buzz visited Reva (with wine) and asked her to come to his wedding to Olivia. He reminded her, "the world really is yours."

A wrong number awakened Josh and Cassie, who noticed Shayne's drawing and was troubled. Later, when Josh turned on the radio and heard about Ashlee's hearing, he didn't blame her. Cassie, however, was angry. She decided to go for a run, and ran into Reva in the hall. Cassie demanded to know why she gave Josh that drawing — unless she's trying to remind him of their marriage. Reva admitted she wants Josh to miss her. "I have never stopped loving Josh," Reva declared. When Cassie got angry, Reva cited her prison visit: "You were right to think it was inappropriate," she hissed, "because it was!"

Cyrus pulled a gun on Marina when she tried to leave, so she cried "Fire!" There was a knock on the door, and Cyrus forced Marina to answer it. Cyrus covered that she yelled that she felt like she was "on fire," not that there was a fire, but Marina put down his abilities as a lover. Cyrus kissed her and the man left. Cyrus escorted Marina to the warehouse to get his cash and forced her to lie to another police officer that Cyrus was a new recruit. Not buying her story, the officer returned with reinforcements. Cyrus escaped with Marina by pushing a stack of boxes on top of the cops. Once back at the motel room, Marina fainted.

Mallet told Rick that Blake woke up. While Rick tended to Blake, Mallet called Dinah and the kids. Mallet asked Blake if she heard what he was talking about, and she claimed that the first thing she heard him say was her name. Mallet filled Blake in on the town gossip since her coma. Meanwhile, Dinah urged Matt to mend his marriage by running into Vanessa "at the bedside of an old friend." Vanessa, Matt and Dinah all saw one another at the hospital. Vanessa told Matt that she misses him, but was put off when he received a mysterious phone call, presumably from the loan shark. "We are in such trouble. You may have forgotten that. But I haven't," she sighed. Rick explained to Blake, Dinah and Mallet that Blake would need rehab. Dinah offered to find her a nice facility, but Blake had other plans. She wanted to stay at "a place where everyone knows everything about each other — a place where there are no secrets," Blake said, looking meaningfully at Mallet.

On the day of his release, Josh asked to make a phone call from prison. Meanwhile, Cassie planned a dinner for his return. Josh called Cassie and assured her that he was really coming home. Billy visited Josh and blasted his brother for bedding Reva. "I know you two slept together and I think it's a recipe for disaster," spat Billy. Josh conceded that he made a mistake. After Billy left, Reva arrived to take Josh home. Meanwhile, Dinah saw Cassie on Main Street and spilled that Blake had woken from her coma. Cassie revealed that she had talked to Tammy, and she invited Dinah and Mallet to Josh's party, but Dinah suggested that Cassie slow down. Cassie explained that she finally understood Dinah's out-there behavior. Cassie fussed to Billy over what to serve at Josh's party.

In the warehouse, Dinah told Mallet that she planned to take flowers to Blake at the hospital. Mallet thanked Dinah for protecting him from Cyrus and reasoned that the crook was probably already on the other side of the world. Mallet sniffed that Dinah wouldn't have fallen in love with him if she had known his secret, and he explained that he didn't want his past to ruin their relationship. Matt called and asked Dinah to meet him, and Mallet agreed to take her flowers to Blake. Mallet kicked a box in frustration, and viewers saw that it was filled with cash. Matt gave Dinah a file of information that he dug up on Cyrus. Dinah assured that Vanessa was a forgiving woman — she forgave Dinah, didn't she? — so perhaps she and Matt would reconcile. As Dinah straightened Matt's room, he wondered why she was being so nice. Meanwhile, Mallet confessed his secret to Blake off-camera. "Talking to you is a hell of a lot cheaper than talking to a shrink," he said, and Blake opened her eyes, indicating that she could hear him. Mallet called for a doctor.

Cyrus produced a policeman's uniform to aid in his escape. Marina told Cyrus she'd rather see him in a prison jumpsuit. Cyrus leaned to kiss Marina wondering how long it had been for her. When Marina wouldn't answer, Cyrus wondered, "That long, huh?" When Cyrus once again brandished his gun, she challenged: "Just shoot me!"

Harley tricked Daisy into admitting that she borrowed a car to go to Chicago, but Daisy covered that she took the trip to visit an old friend. Daisy told Harley that she didn't want her fighting with Gus over her. Dylan and Harley agreed to let Daisy attend Buzz's wedding, and Dylan offered to buy Daisy a new outfit for the occasion. Dylan also purchased some mother/daughter jewelry for Harley and Daisy. Harley was concerned Gus hadn't called. "Forget about Gus," Daisy urged, assuring Harley she wasn't after Gus.

Gus stumbled upon a car wreck on Main Street. "Natalia," gasped Gus upon seeing the driver. Natalia called Gus "Nick" and each agreed that the other looked the same. She suggested their chance encounter might be fate. She pointed out his wedding ring and he noticed her lack of one. "Maybe you set the bar too high," she said of her single status. Gus confided that leaving Natalia was the hardest thing he ever had to do, and she sniffed that she had believed he left her for another woman. A police officer handed her a ticket and Gus offered to take care of it. Gus got a call from Harley and agreed to meet his wife. Natalia said if her car wasn't operational she would just take the bus back to Chicago. "See you in another 15 years," she said. Gus kissed her on the cheek and left to meet Harley. When Gus arrived at the Beacon, Harley was wearing a slinky dress. He interrupted her apology with a kiss. Meanwhile, Natalia took the waitress ad off the door at Company.
