Angie says, "Exactly. Cecilia is a traitor, which means that she'll spill any possible secrets that we could have, and that could take us down and eliminate us all. Do you want that to happen? To lose Andrea or Alejandro? I didn't think so." Carol sternly replies that she is merely using Alejandro, which Angie quite recently.

Miguel listens on, and decides to talk to Cecilia, who still wants nothing to do with him. He asks her, "Why are you here, betraying your friends and loved ones?

I feel completely useless and hopeless, I don't see anything else for my future anymore besides killing Karie Morgan, and that is therefore my destiny." CJ tells her that she has a bigger destiny that only that, and she can just fend off Karie for good, not kill her. Aimee walks into the room, asking if she can talk to Karie again soon.

I'm afraid Cecilia is a member of Pointe. Angie and her got into a bitter fight, and had a major falling out, and Cecilia betrayed us." Thomas later arrives at the center, and Joanna leaves and tells Ruby to get better soon. Thomas enters the room, but Ruby shuts down and doesn't want to talk to him. Thomas says, "I'm so sorry, you were right about Raquel... she's the one that fed the news to the press, I should've believed you. I removed my divorce petition, as I don't want to divorce you anymore, I only want to help you." Ruby detests the statement, saying he is detrimental to her recovery, and only drags her down and stresses her out, and that she wants the divorce. Thomas leaves, and tells her to get well soon, and that he loves her, and will fight for her.
 * Angie arrives at Carol's house to talk to her, with Alejandro opening the door. He says, "She doesn't want to talk to you, ever. Please, just go."

In reality, I'm Jesse Drew Martinez, but to everyone else, I'm Jay Hughes, and it will stay that way. If you even think about revealing my identity, I'll kill you instantly, no matter of what mother wants." Alejandro fires back saying, "I could just reveal you now and report you to Michael, but I won't, because unlike you, I have loyalty."

He says, "Yeah, I'm alive, and I have been this whole time. Ran out the opposite way just as planned. I saw you kissing CJ, and now you're engaged to him, when you're still married to me. I guess I never gave a wedding present, did I?" She looks puzzled, and shakes her head no. He pulls out a gun, and says, "Well here, he's the present of a lifetime", and she says, "Please, no.... please don't shoot me." He subsequently shoots her, and she falls into the dock, with her phone left on the docks as he flees away.

I could never shoot Angie, and the idea of me being thought as the shooter is just devestating, almost a betrayal, CJ." She looks at Mercedes and says, "Why is she here? Back again to terrorize us?

Ruby says, "Of course, once you want somebody else, you try to sell out the woman before. Did it with me when the news of your affair broke out, why should I be so surprised?

This isn't what life is about, life's too short to hold a grudge, especially as one as petty as losing a best friend." Karie says, "Well, obviously you don't know what she has done. She took away your aunt Kendall, she broke your heart, she ruins lives, Andrew, you gave a gift to the world."

My kids father, that's another story... he's really dead. Thomas isn't the father of my two sons or my third baby, my husband is.

If I broke off the engagement, I'm not sure how he would go on. That isn't love, and I don't want to live in a loveless marriage, I want to be happy with someone I deeply care about, not by somebody I'm married to due to guilt." Farrah begins to cry, and says, "Guilt is a terrible thing. I almost lost Anthony due to my guilt from Josh. Josh is dead now, and I'm the cause of his death. It wasn't the rope that killed him, it was the pain that did it." Anthony listens in on the conversation, clearly feeling guilty and upset. Anthony walks in, and says, "Farrah, I know you don't want to get married, and I accept that, but I can't just be your fiancee, I want to be your husband, to love and protect you.

We can use her to our own benefit, and maybe she'll join our side again, we just have to be very polite, and very persuasive, and with you knocking her out, we're not off to a very good start, are we?" Cecilia shrugs, and says, "I'm not helping you or saying anything, so do what you want, I'm gonna stay loyal to my true self, and I'm not gonna choose a side, I'm not in this war, so I'm not going to say anything."

Mercedes begins crying and says, "Look, you don't have to like me, and I don't expect you to, but I'd like some respect. I've turned my life around, I'm a completely different person. I cured a person of cancer and I brought someone back from the dead but they're in so much danger they can't even go back to their family. I've gotten some real pain in my life and I don't need or deserve the added stress from you constantly yelling at me into the mix, so just leave me alone and respect me.

Raquel says, "My husband and my kids... we had an amazing life... and then I got hooked into it by Karie... she threatened to reveal my affair with Thomas to my husband, although he's probably already heard it by now...

You need to go home with your boys." Raquel says, "I would love to, but I have my morals. My husband is fighting for someone, and I can't just leave someone in yuor condition alone.

Anthony says, "Our engagement was anything but loveless, but we've been seperated for so long... even due to you. I don't blame you, I'd ought to thank you. You saved her from Pointe and you saved her from death." Mercedes begins crying, and admits that she was already cured of her cancer after I took her. The member of Pointe Raquel.. she's the one that cured her. I took Farrah and kept her away because I wanted my own redemption story.. it was eating my alive keeping this secret. I had to right wrongs, and Farrah was out of it, and doesn't remember anything about it.

I can deal with it." Raiyanna visits CJ, and confides in him her worries for Carol. CJ says, "After Alejandro died.. she said she was okay, but I'm really not sure.

 * Mercedes and Michael have another secret meeting, which Joanna witnesses. Mercedes says, "Look, initially, I thought this project would be great.. I'd get to be a hero, but this is wrong.

I'm going to tell their family, and if you even try to come after me.. like you did with Meghan and led to her first miscarriage, I will expose you to Joanna." Michael is later shocked to find Joanna standing there, having heard the entire conversation. Joanna weeps, saying, "I trusted you! And you've kept two secrets... even three?

You showed me I need to live my life in hope, not in fear or it being ruined by some psycho group." Emily is shown holding both Karie and Miguel at gunpoint, calling 911 in the process.
