accuses him of saying this so Blake won't say he raped her. Ben goes back to Beth and tells her he
knows a few secrets about Rick but can't tell her what they are. He's not even sure if he'll tell Rick. Rick
tells Phillip that he is going for temporary custody of Kevin. He's excited that he'll have a chance to
watch his son grow up. Phillip asks him if he's doing this for Kevin or himself. Rick is surprised Phillip
would ask that. Phillip offers to call a truce with Beth and be friends. She tells him she can't be his friend
right now. Rick confronts Ben again and tells him he's glad Ben's mother didn't have to raise him. This

lets Rick have some time alone with Kevin. Rick tells Kevin that it's time to let him go. Ben walks in and
realizes that Annie told him the truth. Meanwhile, Blake doesn't like Ross's idea to give Rick joint
custody. She feels that she is losing everything as punishment for the mess she has made of her life. Ross
