Ross asks them all if they know anybody who knows more about what the kids are doing in Chicago. Jim decides it's time to call Max. He and Buzz arrive wanting to know what's going on. The parents question Max about where the kids are and he tries to cover for them. He finally admits that they had a plan to copy CDs and sell them so they could go to a concert in Chicago. Jim is angry with Max because he let Susan go alone with older kids. Max gets angry with Jim and tells him he would have been angry if he'd went too. He thinks he can't win with Jim. Ross talks with the FBI and informs everyone that they plan to make an example of the kids. He says that not only will the kids be charged with piracy and copyright infringement, but the parents will as well.

Cassie can't believe that Marah and Shayne are involved in the CD scam. Richard says he'll make some calls but has other things on his mind right now. She says that she was trying to put their problems out of her mind. She tells him that she could never not trust him but the first thing he did was believe she had an affair. He tells her that he loves her and asks her what he can do to make this up to he. She says she doesn't know. She tells him that she was moved around schools and foster home when she was young and became fearless. She told him the only thing she was afraid of was a game of trust the teacher would make the kids play. She tells him that you had to trust that the other person would catch you when you fell back. She says that she finally found someone she could trust to catch her and he dropped her. She tells him that he dropped them. She tells him she needs time alone to think and doesn't want to sleep with him. She leaves and comes back inside and tells him she loves him and could never stop. She says aren't they lucky to be so in love and leaves. Edmund arrives later with a plan to find out the paternity of Cassie's baby. He thinks she should have amniocentesis even though there are risks. Richard informs him that he knows he's the father of the baby and that the doctor in New York was a fake. Edmund can't believe it and says he's sorry. Richard assures him that whoever set him up will have hell to pay.

Friday, December 1

Richard tells Cassie that he has some business to attend to before they return home to San Cristobel and she wants to know what difference it makes if he finds answers because the damage has already been done. Edmund arrives and Richard leaves for his business. Cassie asks Edmund if he has ever seen Richard this unhappy and Edmund says no. She asks him if it was him that tried to undermine hers and Richard's relationship. He says no and tells her that he thinks he is the target of this conspiracy. He explains that he thinks that someone is trying to eliminate him by driving a wedge between him and Richard by making this look like his fault. Cassie tells him that he is not that important and Edmund tells her that she is naive. Edmund gets a call from Jim and he explains that he can't come to San Cristobel this weekend because of the trouble with Susan and the FBI. Edmund apologizes for his behavior at Thanksgiving and tells Jim that he can reschedule his trip. He offers his help with Susan and Jim thanks him. Meanwhile, Beth helps Lizzie get ready to be an angel in the Christmas play. Jim says that he is saving some front row seats for them and Beth sends her to check on the baby. Beth tells Jim how blessed they are and Jim gets upset about Susan's actions. Beth assures Jim that everything is going to be OK and Jim admits that he is getting used to the idea of another new baby. He tells her about his talk with Edmund and she is uncomfortable.

Josh prepares breakfast for Olivia and she is upset about how their Thanksgiving was ruined with the FBI. Josh is concerned but he tells her that his mind is on something bigger today. She says that she is "pulling a Reva" but bringing Sam to town. He tells her to look between the coffee and the waffles and there is a ring box sitting there. She is excited and slowly opens the box. She tells him that the ring is perfect and he puts it on her hand. He asks her again to marry him and she says yes. They go to the bedroom and the kids arrive. They think that nobody is there but Josh and Olivia come out of the room. He tells them all to sit down and asks them about their trip.

Reva shows Noah the list of everything that the FBI has confiscated and she is livid. He tells her that she has underestimated what he can do and he offers to look into it. Noah is curious about what happens next and she says that her life is in a mess right now. She tells him that she is happy to be there with him and he asks if she is just waiting around for the next "Josh and Reva reunion." (WE ARE!) She says no and explains that she and Josh have both used and hurt people in the past but now they are both ready to move on. She tells him that she doesn't want to hurt him so she wants to be sure of her feelings. Noah tells her that she is full of herself and explains that he can handle her. He tells her to play fair and says that there is a chance that she is evolving into a lady that is able to share her life with someone besides Josh Lewis. The doorbell rings and it is Richard. Reva is still angry about him not trusting Cassie but he asks to come in anyway. He says he's there to see Noah not her. Richard explains what happened and that somebody set him up. He asks for Noah's help in finding Roarke. Noah agrees to help and Reva is upset to hear that Richard needs the agency's help too. He explains that they ran a background check on Roarke but nothing turned up unusual. Josh calls and tells Reva that the kids are back. She says she'll be right over and they start to leave. She asks Richard if he's taking Cassie back to San Cristobel and he says yes. She wishes him luck.

Josh calls Phillip and tells him that the kids are home. Harley wanted to talk to him but Phillip hangs up before she can. Phillip is very angry at Susan but Harley thinks they should remain calm. She wants him to let her and Jim handle Susan. Phillip says he's tired of Susan's attitude but agrees that tearing her head off won't help. He promises to do his best but thinks she really wants to lay into Susan herself.

Josh asks the kids how their trip went and they say it was cool. They tell him about some of the places they went and he asks if they had enough money. They go on and on about the trip but Sam senses something is wrong. They talk about the colleges they visited but say there wasn't many people there because of the holiday. Josh says it's a shame there weren't more people there to see them ride up in a limo. Sam knows they're toast. Ross and Jim arrive and Susan gets worried. Phillip, Harley, Reva and Noah arrive and the kids start to wonder what's going on. Olivia offers Reva some coffee and she notices the engagement ring. Reva comments that it's a nice rock. Reva thanks the kids for showing Catalina the American lifestyle. The parents explain to the kids that the FBI came and took all their CDs and computer software. Ross wants to know what happened and Sam admits it was his idea. He talks about how the record companies are censoring people from sharing ideas. Ross asks about the money and Shayne tells him it was $3500. Tony admits that it wasn't that much because he never sold the CDs. He says he gave them his own money to impress Marah. The parents want to know what happens now and Ross says that the minors will go to juvenile court while the adults will be prosecuted. He says that NuGround has had their music pirated before and are going to take it out on them. Josh asks if Ross will help them if it comes to that and Ross says they'll need God, not a lawyer.
