Old Mattessa House: Josh and Reva kiss and grope on the sofa; Josh can't believe what's going on and she tells him not to question it.  Outside, Alan is asking Cleva about Josh's involvement in the cloning business.  Cleva says she knows nothing about it; Alan suggests they go inside and ask Josh. 

Diner:  Drew and Jesse enter mentioning how they like the Diner better than Company.  Drew can't believe that Michelle was so rude to her about her father dying. Jesse wonders if Drew misunderstood.  Drew tells him that Michelle offered her condolences - but she knew it was all phony.  Anyway, Drew thinks she knows Michelle better than Jesse does, because she grew up with rich girls like Michelle - who always get what they want. Michelle walks up and catches the end of the conversation.

Spaulding mansion:  Phillip and Harley arrive, and he insists they're all going to have calm rational conversation.  Inside Beth is telling Ben that she doesn't want Phillip to come back to her out of obligation.  Ben hugs Beth, as Phillip and Harley walk in.  Beth tries to explain, Phillip is sarcastic.  Harley looks uncomfortable.

Lighthouse twirl

Beth reminds Phillip that Ben tried to help.  Phillip mentions the public spectacle and shoves the newspaper at Beth.  Beth walks away reading aloud, as Ben yells at Phillip that the whole "spectacle" is Phillip's fault because he was shooting his mouth off about it in public. Harley looks on in discomfort.  Ben tells Phillip that he's stringing Beth and Harley along at the same time.  Phillip says he can take care of his family and tells Ben he has no place in the issue. Ben gives Beth a peck on the cheek and leaves.  Phillip gives Beth grief about Ben, and tells her to think about Lizzie instead.  Beth yells back that she is thinking about her daughter and that she refuses to sit down with "her" (Harley) and discuss her daughter.

Diner: Michelle asks to speak with Jesse alone and Drew excuses herself.  Michelle explains that Jesse pretending to be Carlos was the most incredible thing anyone had ever done. Jesse thinks she's singing a different song.  Michelle explains how difficult it was adjusting.

Former Chez Mattessa:  Reva asks Josh to make love to her in their bed.  As they head upstairs, the letter to Sean falls out of Reva's pocket.  Alan starts to head inside, and Cleva pulls him back outside saying that she and Josh were in the middle of something so Alan should come back later - and besides they don't see enough of him anyway.  Alan sarcastically says that Josh mentioned how much he missed Alan and Annie.  Cleva agrees and says Annie wasn't that bad. Alan doesn't think the comment is funny and says something isn't right.

Upstairs - Josh and Reva begin making love - Reva tells Josh how much she missed him.  Josh tells Reva he missed her too.

Diner: Michelle reminds Jesse of how close they used to be.  Jesse says he never really knew what was going on in Michelle's mind.  Michelle says she was wrong and selfish to leave him, but she thought it would hurt more if she stayed.  Jesse mentions what Drew said about the phony sympathy speech.  Michelle is incredulous.  An extra comes in and says that a truck driver ran over someone's motorcycle and Jesse rushes out.  Drew comes back wanting to know if Michelle finished her conversation.  Michelle says she was sincere about Drew's father - Drew says that she knows that, and Michelle realizes that she lied.  Drew admits it and says she doesn't want Jesse getting back together with Michelle - she wants Jesse for herself.

Ben's office:  Ben arrives to find Griffin and Ross waiting for him.  Ben laughs and wonders if he gets a last meal or blindfold.  Ross says he's there on behalf of the Bar Association Ethics Committee ; Ben is sure Ross signed up to get him - Ross says he's been on it for years.  Ross and Ben trade barbs, until Griffin stops them saying that Ben has been charged with misconduct. Ross says his client is suffering because Ben slept with her. 

Spaulding Mansion:  Phillip rides Beth about her affair with Ben, and Beth tries to accuse Phillip of doing the same with Harley.  Beth tries to convince Phillip that she didn't sleep with Ben to help her case; Ben helped her protect Lizzie - "by letting you plead guilty to a crime you didn't commit?", Harley chimes in and Phillip agrees.  Phillip wants to know what would have happened if they hadn't tried to find the truth - would it have helped Lizzie? Harley chimes in again and Beth tells her not to talk about Lizzie. Harley says the lie was killing Lizzie, and Phillip agrees.  Phillip says no one will take Lizzie, or hurt her anymore; he'll make sure Lizzie knows she has her parents' love and a safe home.  Beth doesn't see how that can happen with Phillip spending time with Harley - Lizzie will just think the world is full of liars.  Harley shakes her head.

Halftime

Former Chez Mattessa:  Cleva tells Alan she was trying to be nice, and let bygones be bygones.  Alan doesn't buy it and wants to know what's going between Cleva and Josh; Alan says he knows Josh cloned someone and he wants to know if the clone died.  Alan says that Michael told him the clone died.  Cleva says the idea of cloning is ridiculous: you'd have someone out there they you would have to feed,  clothe and love.  Alan says the clone would be incapable of any kind of human connection - Cleva interrupts that it's not true and "she" would love people. Alan asks about "she?" and  Cleva jokes that she talked to Josh about cloning her.  Alan gets irritated and says he'll find out what's going on and storms off.  Cleva goes into the house saying it's getting too risky  - "there can only be one of us."

Upstairs, Josh and Reva have made love. Reva tells Josh that he can't imagine how it feels to be in his arms again; she goes on to compare Josh's looks and temperament to Shayne's. Josh gets uncomfortable that she's talking about the children as if they're her own.  Reva says they are her children - and Josh knows it because no one could have made love to him the way she just did.  Josh still thinks Reva is dead.  Reva tells him again how she survived on the island and that Sean helped her.  Josh tells her to stop and gets dressed; Reva tells him that if the clone knew what she was telling him the children would be in danger.  Josh still thinks the kids are fine - Marah called him from camp and storms out to go for a walk.  He stops outside the door as Reva yells after him, then rushes away.  Reva calls the camp and asks the director to call Josh and tell him that the kids never arrived. Cleva comes in and cuts off the call.

Cleva is angry that Reva told Josh; but Cleva is convinced that Josh didn't believe it. Cleva says it's just her and Reva from now on.

Ben's office:  Griffin says he's tired of the snide remarks and backbiting between Ross and Ben.  Griffin tries to understand why Ben would sleep with Beth.  Griffin says that Ben is a good lawyer, but he's so self-destructive that he couldn't help him if he wanted to.  Griffin tells Ben that he's out of a job effective immediately; he tells Ben it's nothing personal, shakes hands and leaves. Ben decides he better clear his desk and knocks everything to floor.  Ross says it's about time someone brought Ben down.  Ross tells Ben that he regrets what happened, but he put his mother's feelings above Ben's and he's sorry, but he'd do it again.  Ross admits that he knows Ben made a pass at Blake, and that the current situation was nothing compared to what would happen if Ben did that again.  Ross leaves, telling Ben to "bring it on". Ben laughs wickedly and pulls the video tape out of the desk drawer wondering if Ross is "ready for this."

Spaulding Mansion:  Phillip tries to turn the conversation to Lizzie again. Beth is clearly irritated and Phillip tries to be calm.  Beth points out that Lizzie is sensitive and perceptive, but the happy family act won'' convince her.  Harley pipes up that Beth should be grateful.  Phillip says that they're not the only divorced couple who had problems to work out; Beth agrees and says that she is going to deal with it by moving out.  Harley points out that Beth will be in much more trouble with Ben on the sidelines.  Beth is clearly irritated, as Harley points out that the justice system might use her as an example. Harley tries to get Beth to calm down and agree that Lizzie is in trouble - Beth is sarcastic.  Phillip gets angry and starts yelling.  Lizzie comes downstairs screaming for Phillip to "stop yelling at Mommy".

Lizzie screams that she hates Phillip and Harley and says that Carl is upstairs again.  Phillip tries to comfort Lizzie, as Harley tearfully looks on.

Diner: Michelle asks Drew if she really thinks she has a chance with Jesse.  Drew says she'll squash Jesse's feelings for Michelle; Michelle had her chance and blew it, Drew doesn't intend to do the same thing.  Jesse comes back to the door and motions for Drew to join him.  Michelle says if Drew wants a fight, she's got it.  Drew and Jesse leave with him talking about his motorcycle.  Josh walks up and stops in front of the diner, remembering what Reva said to him. Josh wonders aloud if it could be true that Reva is alive, then walks away.

Ben's office:  Ben puts the tape in saying he will make Ross regret taking him on.  Ben watches the tape.

Out in the hall way - Ross calls Blake saying he wanted to talk to the woman he loves.  Blake quips "and did you?". Ross says her line was busy so he called Blake instead.  Ross and Blake exchange "I love you's".  They chat briefly about the boys - then Ross tells Blake about the Beth Raines meeting. Blake wonders what's going on and Ross tells her Ben slept with Beth.  Blake looks distraught.

Spaulding Mansion:  Beth reassures Lizzie.  Harley tells Phillip she's leaving because he needs to spend time with his family.  Phillip is upset, but Harley assures him Lizzie doesn't know what she's saying.  Phillip says they'll work everything out and Harley leaves.  Lizzie gives Phillip a mean look from the sofa - Harley watches from outside.

Former Chez Mattessa:  Josh comes back and asks if it's really true? Is it really "you"?  Cleva turns around and says, "yes, it's really me."
