I Don't Feel so Good

A hospital orderly checks Edmund over. Once he's satisfied that the patient is still unconscious, he walks out. Edmund's fingers immediately start to twitch. When the orderly returns, Edmund grabs him and utters: "Saint Marks!" before falling back into unconsciousness. Meanwhile, back in Springfield, Josh goes to rehab to visit his brother. Billy doesn't think that Josh is looking too good himself. He starts to explain what's been going on with Will; he just confronted him and it's only made him look like a jerk. "There's definitely something weird with that kid," Josh states, but there is also something "off" with him. He wonders if he is just feeling guilty for having a good time with Reva and then projecting his guilt onto Will. Later, Josh goes over to the church to talk to his council. After the meeting, he gets a surprising call from Edmund. "Will...pushed..." is all that Edmund can say. As Edmund loses consciousness again, Jeffrey appears in his room and appears to disconnect his IV.

You Lose

At the ordination ceremony, Edmund tells Will that everyone is after him. Cassie is the worst, however, and he will have his revenge on her. 'No! You can't hurt my mother!' Will cries, outraged. Edmund insists that he is just trying to protect him. Will's heard that before; that's what Alonzo told him, but he showed him. Down below, Josh is confirmed into the church. After some applause, he tells everyone that he is honored and — suddenly, he's interrupted when Edmund's body falls from above and right in front of him! Josh starts calling out for Rick and Will runs around screaming. Jeffrey and Reva shoot each other worried looks. As an ambulance arrives, Beth finds Rick and asks him where he vanished to. Alan interrupts to ask if Beth needs a ride. Rick asks him to take her back to Towers. 'It would be my pleasure,' Alan says, leading her away. Meanwhile, Jeffrey tries to convince Reva that it's a good thing Edmund's dead. Anyway...it feels like time to have a drink. 'Three or four,' she says. As they walk out, Cassie worries about how to shield Will from this as much as possible.

When Edmund arrives at Cedars, the doctor there tells Rick that he has to stay away; they have a history and he needs to step back now. As Rick turns around, Mallet pops up and tells him that this doesn't look like an accident; he'll be collecting statements from everyone involved. Rick runs off to look for Beth as Josh and Cassie arrive. They leave Will so they can give Mallet their statement. He slips away to Edmund's side and tells him that he wouldn't let him hurt his mom. Cassie runs after, as does Mallet, who tries questioning the scarcely conscious man. Before he can speak, a nurse chases Mallet out. In the corridor, Mallet starts asking Will questions until Cassie and Josh lead him away. Later, Mallet returns to them and asks them if they know where Jeffrey may have been dragging Edmund. They aren't helpful and just want to take Will home. When they get home, Josh tells her that he's making some calls and will be looking after this. None of this has gone the way he planned; all he wanted to do was protect the family. Will watches them from around the corner. When Josh goes off, Cassie grabs her phone and calls her sister: They need to talk about Edmund right away.

Good Night, Sweet Prince

'Don't worry Edmund: We're not going to murder you...not until after Will's pageant,' Jeffrey jokes to Edmund as he stares down at the breakfast that Reva has plunked down before him. Reva and Jeffrey start arguing and Edmund sneaks out. One of the guards promptly pushes him back through the front door. 'Can't blame a guy for trying,' Edmund smirks. Meanwhile, at Cassie's, Josh is trying on his ministerial robes but they don't seem to fit properly. Will comes out, baffled to see Josh staring at himself in the mirror. He asks Josh to help him adjust his crooked wings. He does and then Will straightens out Josh's robes while Cassie and RJ watch and smile. Will starts to wonder where his uncle is. Uncle Edmund soon arrives with Jeffrey and Reva behind. Will sits down with his uncle who hands him something to read at the end of the pageant. He instructs the boy to read 'the plea for mercy' aloud while looking at Reverend Josh and crying.

Cassie and Josh are telling Will how proud they are of him before they send him off to get ready. Cassie gives Josh a kiss and thanks him of letting Edmund be there for Will. At that moment, Edmund is taunting Rick and staring at the medical bag he carries. Jeffrey and Reva watch and worry that Mr. Winslow will try to run. He tells her that they already have his capture planned out. 'An abduction in a church? Great way to start the holiday season!' she quips before Reverend Ruthledge begins the ceremony. Everyone sits down as Will walks out to proclaim: 'Behold! I am the angel of the Lord!' All of the other little angels and shepherds come out on stage with him and start to sing O Little Town of Bethlehem and recount the Christmas story. Edmund makes faces at Reva and Jeffrey and a woman shushes Alan and Rick while they fidget over Beth. In the middle of the pageant, one of Jeffrey's men rushes in and they grab Edmund. As Eddie is dragged out, Will calls out to him. Ruthledge comes out and thanks everyone before announcing that they will soon be ordaining pastor Josh in a few moments.

Edmund is dragged down to the street by Jeffrey and his goon. He starts to taunt Jeffrey about just being a stand in for Josh and points out how Cassie has chosen a man so different from him. As he imagines how miserable Jeffrey must really be, Jeffrey just smirks before telling him that their deal has changed: Edmund will be standing trial and will be executed; they've made sure of it and provided the courts with all of the doctored evidence they need. As Edmund starts to rage, Jeffrey turns his back and walks away.

Back in the chapel, once the applause dies down, Will rushes down to search for his uncle. Josh admits that he is gone; he did some bad things and had to go back to San Cristobel. Will is furious and Josh tries to clam him. Reverend Ruthledge takes Will away for photos and Cassie starts to freak out about Edmund vanishing like this. She goes to her sister for help, but Reva just tells her to let it go: 'Edmund is gone.' They all know what this means. Josh starts to panic; now he's complicit in sending an innocent man to his death and that was never what he wanted. As he is about to run off and stop this, Reverend Ruthledge stops him to remind him that the ceremony is about to start. Josh starts to feel terrible and tells Cassie that this was never what he wanted. Jeffrey walks through the door and says that it's done. Josh tries to call it off, but it's too late. Jeffrey shrugs it off and says that Edmund isn't redeemable anyway. Josh can't let it go: He has to get up in front of God and if he doesn't solve this problem, then he is just as unredeemable as Edmund is. As Will becomes more upset about his missing uncle, Josh tells Cassie to cover for him while he runs off to try and save the former prince.

At the ceremony, Ruthledge comes up to the front of the church to introduce Josh to the congregation. As he is sworn in and Cassie testifies to his goodness, Edmund watches from above, as does a drunken Billy. We see Reva and Jeffrey both rush up a flight of stairs. Will finds his uncle alone. He tells the boy that they are all after him. Cassie is the worst, however, and he will have his revenge on her, Edmund vows. 'No! You can't hurt my mother!' Will cries, outraged. Edmund tells the boy that his mother is a selfish liar, but this only makes him angrier. Edmund insists that he is just trying to protect him. Will's heard that before; that's what Alonzo told him, but he showed him, 'showed him good.' Down below, Josh is confirmed into the church. After some applause, he tells everyone that he is honored to accept his charge and will do his best to ---- but he's interrupted when Edmund's body suddenly falls right in front of him!

I Thought I'd Be a Better Angel

Reva's getting fed up dealing with having Edmund in her living room. She decides that they should have a drink. He suggests that she makes a better couple with Jeffrey than she ever did with Josh. Josh is boring but Jeffrey has the morals of...well, someone like her. She tells him that she knows that he knows about Beth's baby. He's not surprised that she's involved in all of this and trying to sneak her way into Josh's life. She insists that she is only trying to protect her sister. He finds that hard to believe. He also finds it hard to get enthusiastic about what Jeffrey has planned for him....he really just wants to help Cassie, he promises again.

At home, Cassie is sewing the wings onto Will's angel costume. He tries rehearsing his lines and asks her if they can have uncle Edmund over to help out. The boy becomes upset again when Edmund's imminent departure comes up. Cassie calls Beth to ask about James and discovers that the boy dropped out of the play because he fell off the stage. Turning to Will, Cassie wonders why he never told her this. None of this is news to Will, he just didn't mention it. Cassie suggests that they go and visit James. Will isn't interested and goes up to his room to rehearse. When the door opens, he excitedly runs to see if it's Edmund, but it's only Josh. Disappointed, the boy goes upstairs. Cassie tells Josh what Beth told her. Josh tries to reassure her and calm her fears about how Will will react to losing his uncle. He calls the boy down and tells him how sad James must be about not being in the play. Maybe they should visit him...Suddenly, Edmund arrives. The boy runs to him and they sit down to rehearse. Reva reminds him that her guard is outside and then talks to Cassie and Josh about Edmund's 'departure'. Cassie gives Reva a drink and thanks her for all of her help. Nervously, she tries to smooth over what will actually happen to Edmund so that Cassie won't figure it out. She's sure her sister must be happy to be rid of Edmund. Josh walks Reva out and she wishes him good luck on his ordination. He's just looking forward to being rid of Edmund, he admits.
