RJ comes home and is surprised to see that the door is fixed. Cassie admits that Cyrus did it and asks him where he got his boomerang. He explains that an Australian gave it to him. She freaks when she realizes it must have been Grady and sends him upstairs to pack for his sleep over. Cyrus returns to check on the door. She rants at him about Grady approaching RJ. He suggests his brother was just trying to make amends. That doesn't go over well. He doesn't see the use of all the hate; it's only hurting her. If she wants her life back, she needs to stop hating. She will never forgive Grady so hate is all she's got, she explains. He tells her the boomerang is like her hatred: She can throw it but it will always come back to her.
"Well Cinderella, your fairy godmother has arrived," Blake announces as she interrupts Cassie cleaning her floors. She asks her out to Towers. Cassie claims she's busy. Blake tells her that she needs to get back into circulation before her moving parts forget how to move. Cassie can't resist. They go to Towers and Blake announces that they can't talk about any of the men who they've lost. Cassie won't drink; the last time she did she ended up having sex with a stranger beside the road. Blake wishes that would happen to her. Cassie doesn't ever want to be that desperate again. Blake does her best to cheer her up and Cassie finally orders a martini.
Later, they return to Cassie's and talk about the men Blake flirted with. They agree to do this more often. Blake leaves to return to her children. Cassie looks at the photos of her children on the mantel before going upstairs. As she cries, Cyrus arrives outside and begins fixing her eaves when he spots her. He goes inside and surprises her. He explains that he's trying to fix things. She gets it and believes that he really is a good guy but his brother... He looks for excuses but they only enrage her. If he wants to help her, he can take his brother and get out of town. Whenever she sees him, she just sees her dead daughter. After she storms away, he goes outside and slowly walks away.
Cassie calls for a locksmith to fix her door. No one can come today. Josh walks through the broken door and offers to fix it. She invites him in to talk about the divorce while she fiddles with the door. He sits down and they look over the papers. She's already signed. "I hate this," he says, but he understands it's best for both of them. He talks about how hard this is. "You've done this more than I have," she says. He offers to fix the door. She tells him not to and explains that they could never tell the difference between love and need. He wonders if that means she thinks he broke the marriage more when he was trying to fix it. They never had a honeymoon stage, she says; instead, they just had coping and, between Tammy's death and Reva's cancer, it was all about coping. Now, she needs time to herself to figure out who she is. He signs the papers.
Jeffrey goes to see Cassie while she is trying to fix her door. He informs her that he is building a case against Alan. She begs him not to put her through this again. He tells her that someone has come forward to testify and he will handle this. He vows to put Alan behind bars. She doubts it, but thanks him anyway. After he leaves, Cyrus comes to the door. He offers to have her door fixed. "Grady can do it," he gulps. She's furious at this suggestion. He pleads his brother's case but she won't listen. When she tries to open the door for him to leave, it breaks again. He offers his hand to fix it. She lets him fix it. He thought she was the forgiving type. She throws the divorce papers at him. "Is this because of what happened with us?" he asks. Partly, she says. She admits that she was a forgiving person once, but that part of her died with Tammy. He promises her that they can fix that.
Blake and Mel go to visit Cassie. They eat ice cream and talk about doing a beach trip. Cassie thanks them for trying to cheer her up. When she gets up, she spots her divorce papers poking out of Mel's bag. The women freeze up. Cassie insists that she is fine; she just can't believe that Grady and Alan are going to walk but she's sure Jeffrey did all he could. Blake wants to go out for martinis but Cassie says she has a doctor's appointment. She repeats to Mel that she is confident that the divorce is the right thing and it's a done deal.
As Cassie walks through the park, she runs into Daisy. She begins apologizing but Cassie storms off. Daisy runs after her and tells her that she was only trying to do what Tammy would have done; she gave Grady a second chance. "You need to get out of my face right now!" Cassie yells, accusing her of selling out her own cousin for a fling. Cyrus walks between them. He tells Daisy to go home. Cassie runs off. Cyrus follows. He catches up to her and she vents about everything and how Daisy gives her the same stupid looks that Tammy used to give her about Jonathan. They killed Tammy and now Daisy has the life that Tammy was supposed to have with Jonathan. "It's not fair!" she cries. He walks her home. She tells him to go. "I don't want you in my house. I don't want you anywhere near me!" she barks, slamming the door on him.
At the courthouse, Cassie is excused from continuing testimony. Grady stares at her, upset. She walks down. His lawyer tells him it's good to look upset. "I am upset," Grady admits. Josh follows Cassie as she leaves the courtroom. He asks her if she wants to get some fresh air before the conviction comes in. She just wants to go home and see RJ: He's who she needs to focus on now. As she leaves, Josh trails after her.
Josh follows Cassie to the graveyard. She tells Tammy that it's over and she only needs to worry about the future now. She just wants to spend every moment she can with RJ. Turning, she notices Josh. He admits that he was worried and followed her. She tells him not to worry and asks him if they can file for divorce. If they finish the paperwork today, she can start her new life tomorrow. He agrees to go along with it. She tells him their marriage wasn't a failure; he helped her get through her loss. She helped him find his faith, he says.
Josh and Cassie go to Mel and she draws up the standard papers. She thinks they are going too fast and suggests they seek counseling. Josh explains that they've already been to a counselor. Mel needs a reason to file. Cassie says they have "irreconcilable differences". Josh agrees that's what they have. Mel wonders how that can be. They explain that they aren't the same people who fell in love anymore. Neither expected it to end this way. They discuss the children. Cassie will retain custody but Josh will remain the adoptive father. Mel leaves to file the paperwork. Cassie thanks him for doing this so quickly. She just wants her time left with RJ to be happy. He drives her home and promises that he will be there to look after the children as much as he can. "I think Reva and I have a chance and I'm going to make a go of it," he informs her. She thanks him for telling her. He says he'll be around if she needs him and walks out.
