Reva has a proposal for Jeffrey, Josh goes after Chris again, Harley finds out what Daisy has been hiding.
The attractive young woman from the gym tracks Cyrus down at Company. She tells him that she runs an import-export business for antiques and jewelry. He knows a lot about those things and how to acquire them, he says. "Why do you think we're here?" she asks, offering him a fistful of cash.
At home, Daisy is disturbed that her mother is making her yet another PB & J sandwich. Harley needs to save money so they can afford a graduation dress for her. Daisy tells her not to waste money on a dress she doesn't want for a ceremony she won't be going to. Harley offers to bribe her if that will work. She slips some cash into her daughter's hand. Daisy takes it without a word and walks out.
At Cassie's, Josh wakes up and goes downstairs, surprised that he's slept so late. Cassie begins searching around for napkins as he tells her that he can't remember the last time he slept so well. She pulls some muffins for the outreach committee out of the oven. He taste tests them and they kiss. "I know we still have a long way to go but this morning I'm not angry at all," he says. "That's good," she smiles.
Josh stalks around The Beacon when he discovers that Chris Boyle is staying there. He follows him inside, cornering him and threatening him. The man is confused and disturbed. "She's my wife!" Josh screams as Cyrus ducks out of the elevator and runs into the struggle. He tells Josh to punch him instead. Josh punches both of them in the face and storms off. Cassie runs in screaming. As Chris steps into his room, Cassie whispers to Cyrus, "Are we okay?" He thinks they have a problem. They apologize to Chris and beg him not to press charges, insisting that Josh is just under too much pressure. Cyrus assures him that they have everything under control. Harley arrives, saying that she's heard there was a problem. Cyrus tells her that they have it under control. Cassie runs off to look for Josh.
Reva goes to police headquarters to get a ticket to Daisy's graduation from Harley. She wishes that Reva would actually convince Daisy to go to the ceremony and explains that she has no intention of bringing Cyrus. "Things are really good between me and Jeffrey," Reva says. Her life is happy now, but that doesn't make the past less important. "No, it doesn't," Harley agrees.
Harley and Cyrus are in the elevator. He holds an ice pack to his face while he explains what just happened. She offers to take him for some first aid. He was in prison once; didn't he ever learn to duck a punch? Cyrus wasn't looking for a fight, he insists. She suggests that he take a hot shower and pulls him into the washroom. Looking in the mirror, he sees the mark on his face. He can't believe Josh actually punched him. She's sure that he was just understandably outraged at Chris. "He must not like you either," she jokes. After he's showered, she helps him into bed. He asks her to join him, but she leaves to get more ice. When she walks down the hallway, she runs into another mother and begins talking to her about graduation. Awkwardly, the woman informs her that Daisy can't go to graduation because she was suspended. Harley is shocked. She returns to Cyrus and tells him that she has to go. "I really did want to stay with you," she admits. She kisses him and thanks him for helping her friends. "I'm proud to be your..." she trails off.
Cassie is at home, calling around, searching for Josh. He walks through the door. She thought that things were better. So did he but he saw the guy and, suddenly, he couldn't stop himself. She confronts him for hiring her friends to spy on her. "You slept with another man!" he reminds her. Cyrus gave him the guy's name and he tracked him down to confront him. He talked to him and felt better, but that was before he thought he would ever return to this town again. She offers him her phone to check all the numbers that have called and promises him that she is committed to him. He believes her but that won't stop the pictures of her and another man in his head from forming. "I cannot do this right now," she says, walking out.
Reva meets with her granddaughter at a picnic table. She shows her the chart that Jolene made of her life. Daisy looks it over. "Wait a minute: You were married to Alan Spaulding?" she asks. She was in a coma at the time, Reva explains. Daisy wants a life like hers, but Reva doesn't think that's a good idea. She starts telling her granddaughter about all of the desperate and bad decisions she's made and the many things she's done, like being a gold-digger and breaking up marriages for money. "If you want to work on my movie, you have to go to graduation," she says. Daisy doesn't think that's fair. She needs to learn that life is not fair, Reva laughs.
Natalia arrives in Olivia's room at The Beacon. She sees all of her pills on the floor and assumes that something is wrong.
In his room, Jeffrey is tying up his tie when Reva shows him the little heart she made him. He chuckles when Natalia suddenly calls to tell him that Olivia has vanished. She suggests that he call Ava. Getting off the phone, he kisses Reva and leaves.
Jeffrey meets with Natalia in Olivia's room. He feels bad that she is having to deal with all of Olivia's problems. She begins calling around to check on Emma. They track Olivia and Emma down at the courthouse. Olivia watches as her daughter visits the court on a school trip. Natalia helps her up and takes her home.
When Olivia and Natalia arrive at home, Emma hurries to her mother's arms and Olivia can't stifle a smile. The phone rings and Natalia answers. It's Frank. Natalia assumes he wants to talk to Olivia and hands her the phone, but he only wants to talk to Nat. Smiling, Olivia tells her that he's a good guy and she should be living her own life. Natalia smiles and leaves to see him. Once she's gone, Olivia takes out a photo of Gus and stares at it.
Reva sits on a bench near the water when Josh walks by. Observing the marks on his hands, she asks him if he was punching Satan. She tells him that he should try using his left fist once and awhile. They begin recalling his fights with Billy. No one had ever punched someone out for her before; she thought it was romantic... until his nose started bleeding on her. After Josh leaves, she stays and watches elderly couples walk by.
Harley storms home and kicks her daughter off the phone. She confronts her for being suspended from school. Daisy explains that she was caught for selling fake IDs. Harley's baffled that no one even tried to contact her about this. They did but Daisy just forged her name on the letter they sent. It was right after Gus' accident so she didn't want to dump this on her too. Harley wonders what all of this means; will she even graduate? Her daughter shakes her head and begins to cry.
In his room, Cyrus cleans up his face and gets dressed as Cassie arrives at his door. She's worried that things are getting out of hand. He doesn't think she needs to worry. He's sure that Chris Boyle won't be back: Who would return to a town where the minister can beat you up? He offers her a beer and she nervously takes a swig.
Josh returns to The Beacon and stakes out Boyle's door, preparing to apologize. As Chris returns with someone following him, Josh hides around the corner. Looking over, he realizes that it isn't another woman he's secretly bringing into his room - it's a man. Josh is confused.
Reva returns to her room with Jeffrey. She tells him that she can't do the casual thing anymore. She needs to know that they have a future together. "Marry me Jeffrey?" she asks. He smiles, reminding her that they aren't Romeo and Juliet. They're just the "What the Hell! Couple": Let's do it, let's be a couple, let's live together - what the Hell! That's always been their approach. He tells her to ask again. She does. "What the hell? Let's do it!" he proclaims, holding up the heart she made him. They begin to laugh and she jumps up to throw her arms around him and give him a kiss.
