She thinks that James will be the future of Spaulding and he tells her that Phillip and Beth and their children should be there. Claire offers her help because she's already made an enemy of Harley.

Phillip storms into the mansion angry with Alan. He tells him he'll see him in hell before he hurts his family again. Alan tries to deny having anything to do with the picture being in the paper but Phillip doesn't buy it. Alan thinks he's just upset because the truth is Beth and James are Spauldings. Phillip suggests that if Alan wants to keep what little family he has left he'll stay out of it. He runs into Beth while leaving and asks if Jim saw the paper. She says he's handling it well but Harley isn't. Phillip tells her he just spoke with Alan so there's no need for her to. She says it's time she fought her own battles and goes inside and tells Alan he is evil. She says the only reason Phillip hasn't walked out on him is because of loyalty. She reminds him that not too long ago he wanted her out of the family just like he's doing with Harley now. He says that was a mistake that he's trying to correct. She can't believe his nerve and tells him that she's married to Jim now. He compares Jim to Bradley and thinks she should protect Lizzie from him. He says that Beth is drawn to strong men to protect her. He tells her that if she ever needs help, she can come to him. He doesn't want her to risk the children's safety. He's glad she came over and they had their frank discussion. Beth tells him that if he messes with her family, she'll make sure the only contact he has with his grandchildren will be a Christmas card. Later, Beth goes home to find Edmund and James asleep on the couch. She asks Lizzie how he did and she tells her pretty good for an amatuer. Beth watches them sleeping and smiles.
