Cold and Calculating

Gus returns home, still looking for Harley and finding only Daisy. He asks for her help tracking Harley down. 'You broke her heart; you don't deserve to find her,' Daisy says, shaking her head. She's never seen her mother so upset. He appreciates that she's looking out for her mother but she doesn't know the whole story. He refuses to explain anything more. Suddenly, he gets a call from another cop telling him that Rafe and Daisy were caught shoplifting but Alan got them out of it. Gus heads over to the mansion, finding Natalia with Alan in his office. He confronts his father about buying Rafe out of shoplifting. Alan protests; Rafe didn't shoplift, it was Daisy. Rafe just did the honorable thing in standing by her. A frustrated Gus sits down and takes some ulcer medication. Alan explains to Natalia that Harley likes to have Gus running around looking for her; she always has to be the center of everything. Gus gets up and asks where Rafe is. Alan says that he's gone to see his friends. Gus knows that Rafe doesn't have any friends. They're sure that he must be with Daisy at the house. As Natalia and Gus rush out, Alan shouts after them: 'I'm sure that she's a responsible lady. She must have shoplifted them some condoms!'

Rafe arrives at Harley's. Daisy is happy to see him. Gus was just there and left angry. She's sick of everyone telling them what to do. They sit down on the couch and start to kiss. He tells her that she can't do things like shoplift again. They're just lucky that Alan got them out of it and his mother didn't find out. Gus and Natalia arrive while the kids turn on the video games to cover everything. Natalia wants to know why her son never told her about the shoplifting. Gus sends Daisy back to her grandfather ay Company. Rafe expects a lecture from his father and he gets one. He doesn't want his son going to Alan: He wants him coming to him. Spotting the watch which Alan bought him, he demands that he give it up; he can't let him be rewarded for being devious. They take him back to the mansion and Rafe says that he only likes the watch because it was a gift from his grandfather, something he never had before. As he walks away, Gus assures Natalia that he really is a good father to Harley's kids. Teenagers are different though...she thinks that he's doing a good job. Meanwhile, Harley calls Daisy and updates her on Dylan's recovery. Daisy tells her that she just saw Gus and he looked miserable.

Falling in Slow Motion

At Towers, Natalia tells Alan that she appreciates everything he's done for her, but she needs to make her own way. She is going to apply for a job as a waitress. The manager tells her that they are fully staffed. Alan steps in to offer help, but the manager turns him down. She leaves to check somewhere else. Once she's gone, Alan slips the manager a few dollars and thanks him for turning her down. Later, Alan and Natalia sit down to dinner. He tells her that her talents are wasted as a waitress. Now that she has Gus... She cuts him off, reminding him that Gus and Harley are far from over.

At Towers, Gus finds Natalia. They start to talk over what happened. She suggests that there are plenty of people to blame for what's been going on. He feels like he needs to take responsibility and asks her about where Harley and Dylan might be. She doesn't know where she is, but she knows why she left. 'Harley knows that we slept together,' she tells him. They go outside and she nervously explains what happened while he was away. She is sure that if Harley loves him, she will forgive him. He's sorry that he pulled her into this and he won't let anything happen to her, no matter what happens between he and Harley.

When Natalia returns to the mansion, Alan tells her that he is looking for an assistant, someone to pass on his knowledge to. She thinks that he should hire one of his children or grandchildren. He will, when they're old enough, but he sees grit and determination in her and... before he can go any further, Remy bursts in and drags her out. After this, Alan goes to Harley's and offers Gus his help. He thinks that his son should wake up and leave the melodrama with Harley behind. Gus is still determined to find his wife. Alan leaves, reminding him not to throw his last chance with Natalia away, particularly when Harley may be caught up living her own fantasy with Dylan.

I'm not Mr Alexandra Spaulding

At the mansion, Natalia cries and apologizes for being unable to turn Gus away when he came to her. Harley is shocked that Gus actually slept with her. Does this mean that Natalia is going to start fighting for him now? She would never go after a married man; it's against everything she believes in. 'But Gus was yours first so you decided this would be an exception?' Harley angrily asks. She doesn't believe that any of this was a mistake. She is sure that Natalia came to Springfield with a plan. Natalia swears that she didn't, but she admits that she had thoughts of Gus being a father to Rafe. She tried to put all of that aside when she found out about Harley. Although she apologizes profusely, she reminds Harley that this was not all her fault. 'You're right about that,' Harley says. When Natalia brings up what's going on between her and Dylan, Harley grabs her by the shoulders and starts to shout that she has no right to bring that into this. 'That man [Gus] is everything to me! He is my heart and soul...he would always be faithful to me,' Harley cries. Natalia tells her that Gus said what he did with her was a huge mistake. The only thing that he could think of is how hurt she would be. Harley feels like she's lost something she'll never get back: Trust. Natalia tells her to go to Gus and give him a chance to explain; he really loves her. Harley doesn't want to hear this from her; she need to hate her, not have her being nice.

Left alone, Natalia sits in the dark until Rafe arrives and turns the light on. Seeing how upset she is, he asks her what's wrong. She takes her son for a walk and shows him a picture of Gus. He was her first love; that's why she's been so strict about he and Daisy; she knows how intense first love can be. He tells her that she deserves more than just him in her life; if Gus is what she wants, she should go for it.

The Right Thing

At the mansion, Rafe wants to see his father. Natalia tells him that she and his father had a bit of a disagreement and he needs to spend time with his other family. Alan walks into the conversation. He asks her why, if what she said is true, Gus left town alone and Harley is glued to Dylan's side. As his father, he's worried and wants to know where Gus has gone. Rafe tells him to back off and leaves to visit Daisy. Alan is surprised that Natalia will let him go off with a Cooper, they 'do whatever they want and blame it on us'. She doesn't want to talk about Harley and the Coopers, but Alan reminds her that she is already the other woman.

At home, Harley searches around for clues when Alan wanders in. She asks him where Gus is. He tells her that Gus is very upset with her and has turned to someone else: Natalia. She's surprised by his strategy; he used to be more subtle when he wanted to manipulate her. 'I'm older now. I don't waste time,' he quips. He lists all of the offenses she's made against Gus, kicking his son out, cuddling up with Dylan etc.. She keeps telling him that she and Gus are committed to each other. 'Don't say I didn't warn you,' he states as he walks away. Harley heads over to the mansion to talk to Natalia. She didn't come to fight, she just wants Natalia's help. Alan is trying to turn them all against each other and break up her marriage, she explains. They need to be strong and not give in to him. Alan has already made it sound like they slept together, but Harley doesn't belie that Gus would ever do that. Natalia is silent at the suggestion and looks away. Harley quickly realizes that Alan was right.

This Can Never Happen Again

Gus' phone vibrates as he and Natalia begin making love on her couch. Although she hates to admit it, this is what she really wanted. It makes her feel like they're young again. As she recalls their time together as teenagers, he stares off and holds her hand. 'I hate that we ended...but now I know that we never really did,' she says, kissing him again. 'This can never happen again, ' he tells her. As they dress, he tells her that he was angry and they shouldn't have done this. She isn't sorry and refuses to believe that he is either. 'I'm not the guy that does this,' he says. Now, nothing can be the way it was. As he tries to forgive Harley for what he believes she's done, Natalia can see that he'll never be able to. He needs to leave and tell his wife everything. Later, Remy arrives and she tells him what happened. He's sure that she is going to be hurt because Gus will never leave his wife. She isn't trying to steal Gus away, but he is the love of her life.
