You Shouldn't be Alone With Him

Natalia sneaks up on Gus outside of Cedars. He pulls her into a kiss and starts peeking unto her coat. She unveils her new, Ava-inspired fashion statement. "Makes me wanna do very naughty things," he says, letting her hair down over her shoulders. Before they can go off on their date, he gets a call from the restaurant telling him that their table is gone. He's unphased; he already has an alternative plan. As he takes her off, Olivia appears in the doorway to watch them go.

Gus takes Natalia to the police station and surprises her by revealing that he has a picnic set up in the cells. They lay down on the floor and he pops the champagne so they can drink and remember when he got arrested while trying to impress her. As they start kissing, her phone rings: It's work calling to tell her to come in. After she leaves, Gus wanders off and runs into Olivia on the street. She tells him she's worried that Natalia might be jealous. He's not worried, he says, offering to walk her home. Meanwhile, Natalia returns her dress to Ava. Ms Peralta tells her that she will need a whole lot more dresses if she's going to keep Gus. She reminds her that Gus is a Spaulding and they're all the same. Natalia is somewhat bewildered and walks down the hall, bumping into Daisy who tells her all about her new job. Natalia smiles at her and tells her to take care of herself. As she walks away, Rafe calls Daisy. She's thrilled to hear from him and they set up a date to pick up a Christmas tree.

Why is it Always You?

In her room, Olivia isn't pleased to have one of her employees confronting her. Natalia tells her that she is off the clock right now and just wants to know the truth about her. Olivia's sure that she's heard all of the horror stories about her already. They're true: She is a 'maneater and a husband stealer,' she states, but, 'if I wanted Gus, he'd be mine by now.' As Olivia clears up her umbrellas, Natalia reminds her that she has history with Gus. Olivia doesn't know what she is so worried about; if Gus is happy with her, he wouldn't look elsewhere. Natalia says that he's not looking, but she's shoving it in his face. Olivia opens the door to let her out, reminding her that Harley is the one she should be worried about.

Harley has gone home to see her boys. They put up the Christmas tree all on their own. They tell her that they saw Santa peeing on the trees at the Christmas tree lot. She assures them that wasn't the real Santa. They start opening Christmas cards. The first one she looks at is from Phillip. 'You'll see me when I'm ready,' it reads. She locks the door. As she stares out the window and starts acting paranoid, Zach starts asking her why she's had so many husbands. She sends them upstairs and gets out her gun. When she looks out the door, she finds Natalia. She thinks that they need to talk about what is going to happen. Harley tells her that she doesn't want to spend Christmas talking to her ex-husband's new bride. After sending her off, she and the boys finish decorating the tree. When she climbs the ladder to put on the star, she starts having a panic attack. Cyrus arrives and sees that she's frozen in position. He tells the boys that they are going to play 'fireman' and helps Harley down while the boys hold the ladder. 'I'm saved,' she says, before Zach throws a glass of water on her. She sends them to bed. 'Why is it always you that's here?' she asks. He calls Marina and tells her that he'll be late. Harley tells Cyrus that she just wants to feel safe and secure. 'I'll stay here with you tonight,' he offers.

You Lose

Gus and Natalia are having lunch at Towers. He tells her about his plan to buy her a Christmas tree and asks her if they really won't be waking up together on Christmas morning. She reminds him that they are waiting until they are married...but she does want to set a date. It will be very soon though: She doesn't want to spend any more nights kissing him and then having to stop. After they leave, they go over to check on ballroom availability with Olivia. When Nat slips into the washroom, he tells Olivia that he wishes that she'd let him help her more. After sending her ahead, he makes an excuse to Natalia and tries to secretly slip away with Olivia. As Nat leaves the room, she spots them vanishing through the doorway. When she gets outside, she runs into Alan. She tells him that she's trying not to overreact to something she just saw. She asks him about Olivia; she got an 'odd' feeling from her today. Alan tells her that she can trust Gus but....he's the only Spaulding male that Olivia hasn't sunk her fingers into yet. Meanwhile, at Cedars, Olivia is upset about dying, but more upset about the prospect of Bill getting custody. Gus reminds her that he went to law school and can sort this out for her. When her doctor appears, he tells her that her test results aren't as good as he had hoped and her placement on the donor list isn't high. Gus tells him that he is Alan Spaulding's son and they bankroll this hospital so if there is a list for heart transplants, Olivia's name better be moved up to the top. Later, Gus runs into Alan on the street. Gus flatly tells him that he knows that he thought he had a chance with Natalia but he doesn't anymore. 'You lose,' Gus insists. Alan isn't so sure. Meanwhile, as Olivia returns home, Natalia is waiting in the hall with a few words for her.

I Don't Want Your Heart

Daisy arrives at the mansion looking for Rafe. She finds Natalia instead. Daisy tells her how worried she is about Rafe; they are the only people who can reach him now... She reminds Natalia of all the good she's been doing in her life and how much Rafe needs her to keep him on the right track. Natalia tells her that Rafe needs to work things out for himself, like he always has. Daisy reminds her of all the trouble he's gotten into in the past. The abortion comes up again. Becoming defensive, Daisy asks her if she has a cross she wants to press on her forehead to see if it sizzles. She knows that Natalia believes that she is evil, but she's not. After she leaves, Alan walks in on Natalia who tells him that Daisy is doing really well, just like the pregnancy never happened...but Rafe is alone in his room crying. Alan starts lashing out at Daisy, who he claims is a 'mutt' comprised of the worst elements of the Lewis and Cooper families. He also tells her that Gus doesn't know what he wants. When he leaves to take a call, Rafe walks in and instantly asks his mother to move away. He doesn't want her to marry Gus now: He abandoned them once and will again. Natalia insists that isn't the case; he can't keep changing his mind like this. He needs to stop his mood swings; she won't get hurt this time. 'You're wrong,' he says, walking out.

Rafe goes down to CO2. Daisy sneaks up on him and they smile at each other. She sits down and they tease each other. She misses when they were in juvie and they could really talk to each other. Meanwhile, Gus has returned to the mansion. He hugs Natalia and starts kissing her, asking her to go to Vegas with him and get married. She asks him if he's done something bad. 'Working on it,' he says. They exchange 'I love yous' and kiss some more but she breaks away to answer the phone. She tells Gus that she's been called into work and has to go. When she leaves to get dressed, he calls Olivia to check on her. 'I'm amazingly calm,' she says. That sounds good to him. After a little chat, they hang up. Alan comes to her door. He demands to know how things are going with Gus. Why hasn't she seduced him yet. 'When you turn it on, Natalia doesn't stand a chance,' Alan says, knowingly. She assures him that it's not going to be a problem; Gus is a great guy and everything will be fine.

My Life

Olivia has collapsed on the floor when a shadow comes over her. She wakes and finds someone staring down at her. 'Phillip!' she calls out at their blurry face. It isn't him though— it's just Natalia. She helps Olivia up. She has a terrible headache and starts searching around for Emma. She freaks out before Natalia finds a note saying that Emma has gone to the library with Ava. Natalia tells her that she needs to go to the hospital. Olivia wants to check on Emma, but Natalia sends her over to Cedars. Rick examines her. She has a bump on her head and a slight injury to her neck. He can understand why she is so worried about Phillip— he kidnapped his kids once too— but he's more worried about her suddenly collapsing. She keeps anxiously talking about Emma so Rick promises her that if Phillip tries to take her, he will have to go through him first. When he leaves to run some tests, she impatiently paces around, making calls. Eventually, she runs into Beth in the hallway. Olivia instantly accuses her of helping Phillip to attack her. Beth is baffled but insists that she had nothing to do with this. Beth tells her that Phillip sent her child a present as well, but she hasn't told Rick about it. Olivia becomes even more worried but Beth tries to suggest that Phillip might have changed. 'You're a lot smarter than that!' Olivia says, unbelieving. When she launches into another set of accusations, Beth storms off.

Boss Lady

At the mansion, Gus and Natalia are looking around for Alan to pop up. Gus is afraid that his father will have an aneurysm when he finds out the news. Alan strolls in and asks what news that is. 'Should I start calling you "dad"?' Natalia asks. Alan throws his arms up and congratulates them, hugging Natalia and welcoming her into the family with a kiss. That's a little too forward for everyone. Gus doesn't remember his father welcoming Harley like that. 'I didn't want her in the family,' he reminds him, but he does want Rafe and Natalia to be Spauldings. Gus tells his father that Natalia and Rafe will be taking the Aitoro name and moving out. He leaves for work and Alan compliments Natalia: She must be a very strong woman if she's going to let Gus spend every day working with his ex-wife. Later, Alan offers to take her to work, although he doesn't understand why she works. She likes to work. He lays into Gus again and she stops him; she knows that this isn't about Gus, it's about him and his feelings for her. She hopes that he can accept that Gus is her past and her future too.

Olivia arrives at Towers were she finds Gus sitting at the bar. He tells her that he just had to tell Harley about his engagement. They start talking about how they only ever planned to get married once. She starts talking about how worried she is about Phillip and then congratulates him on his engagement, which genuinely seems to touch him. Later, Gus grabs Natalia and takes her out to the balcony. He giddily tells her that he got his first congratulations on their engagement. He wants to take her out: They haven't had a date in twenty years. As he rambles and starts recalling their first date, Olivia stands in the hall listening and smiling. Gus and Natalia begin kissing until she reminds him that she has to get back to work. Meanwhile, Olivia goes through her messages, erasing them. When she walks into her room, she collapses on the floor.
