Ryan and Annie went to Kendall and Zach's home to see if Spike could join them at the park. Kendall reminded Ryan that Spike was at music camp. Annie freaked out when she heard that Spike went away to camp, because she felt it was Kendall's way of keeping him away from her. Kendall insisted that Spike's music education and her feelings for Annie had no correlation, but Annie was not convinced. Kendall coldly told Annie to leave her house. Annie warned Kendall not to dismiss her and lunged at Kendall. Zach and Ryan grabbed Annie and stopped a fight from ensuing.

Kendall pulled Ryan to the side and declared that Annie was crazy. Ryan protested that Annie was under a lot of stress and needed support. Kendall urged Ryan to commit Annie to a mental hospital. He pleaded with Kendall to ease up on his wife. Kendall was worried that Annie might take her angst out on Spike. He promised that he would not let anything bad happen to their son. Kendall said that she would make a deal with Ryan: if she eased up on Annie, then he would have to make sure that Annie was never alone with Spike.

Zach talked to Annie privately. He tried to relax her because she looked very tense. He asked her to open up and tell him what was wrong. She explained that there were three people in her marriage, Ryan, Greenlee, and herself. She was distraught because she felt that Ryan loved Greenlee. Zach assured her that Ryan was remaining loyal to his marriage. He reminded her that Ryan wanted to renew his marriage vows. Annie then saw Ryan and Kendall talking across the room. Richie's ghost appeared and began to antagonize Annie. He told his sister that Kendall was trying to turn Ryan against her. He said that the only way to stop Kendall was to make her "road kill."

Ryan and Annie were about to leave when Kendall announced that Spike could spend the night at Ryan and Annie's home once he returned from camp. Ryan was grateful, but Annie looked annoyed. After they left the house, Annie told Ryan that Kendall was up to something. Ryan was fed up with Annie's paranoia and yelled at her to stop.

Greenlee called Aidan to tell him not to come home for a while because she was planning a surprise. Tad overheard Aidan's conversation with Greenlee and laughed after his friend hung up the phone. Aidan wondered what Tad found funny. Tad said that he wished Aidan's honeymoon phase would last forever. Aidan asked Tad if he was happy in his marriage and he replied yes. They then toasted each other.

As Greenlee made fondue for Aidan, Jake moved his stuff out. She asked why he was leaving. He thought that Greenlee and Aidan needed alone time, since they were newly married. She asked him to have a glass of wine with her. They both sat together and ate some of the fondue. Jake confessed that he wanted to leave Pine Valley. Greenlee urged him to stay. He stated that Pine Valley did not need him. She disagreed and told him to stay and face his fears, instead of running away from them. He gave her a kiss and left.

Erica was giving Carmen a makeover. Erica encouraged Carmen to start dating, so Carmen divulged that she had dinner with Jack. Erica laughed and said that Carmen's business dinner with Jack was not a romantic encounter. Just then, Jack entered. He brought papers over for Erica to sign, but when he saw Carmen, he gave her a warm hello and a big smile. Erica looked concerned by Jack's demeanor with Carmen.

After Jack left, Carmen asked Erica if she still loved Jack. Erica seemed uneasy with the topic as she recalled the many memories she had with Jack. First, she remembered all of the romantic times they shared, like dinners and trips. Second, she recalled his rigidity and stubbornness. Carmen commented that Jack was the perfect man and Erica was the perfect woman, so they belonged together. Erica affirmed that their relationship was over. Erica said that she noticed Carmen and Jack were both glowing when they saw each other. Initially, Carmen tried to deny her feelings for Jack, but eventually admitted that she was interested in him. Erica warned Carmen that Jack always dated women to make her jealous. Nevertheless, Erica gave Carmen her blessing to date Jack.

Jack visited Greenlee. As they drank wine and ate fondue, they discussed their love lives. Greenlee gushed over Aidan. Jack was pleased to see his daughter very happy. She inquired about Carmen. He admitted that he had a crush on Carmen, so Greenlee urged her father to ask Carmen on a date. Jack planned to officially ask Carmen out.

Greenlee realized that she ate all of the fondue and drank all of the wine with her two guests, Jake and Jack. So, she put on sexy lingerie and sat on top of the table. When Aidan came home, he got excited to see Greenlee scantily clad and he immediately kissed her.

Jesse told Angie that Cassie was correct in her criticism of him; he was not a good stepfather. He felt guilty that he supported Frankie and not Cassandra. Angie assured Jesse that he was a good father to both of her children. He wished that he acted like a father, not a cop.

Angie went to see Cassandra in her room. Cassandra was packing her suitcase and Angie looked alarmed. Cassandra announced that she was moving back to Paris to be with her father. The teenager explained that she did not feel like a part of the Hubbard family. Angie cried as she begged her daughter not to leave. Cassandra stated that she loved her mother, but could not stay in Pine Valley. Jesse entered and Cassandra informed him that she was leaving. He understood and said that he would speak to the DA to make sure that she could leave the country. Cassandra asked if she could see Dre and Jesse said yes. Cassandra was grateful and rushed off.

Angie blamed herself for Cassandra's departure. Angie felt that she tried too hard to mold Jesse, Frankie, and Cassandra into the family members she wanted them to be. Angie realized that she needed to let them be true to themselves. Jesse told his wife to lean on him for support.

Cassandra met Dre at BJ's. Cassandra divulged that she was moving back to Paris and Dre was shocked. He pleaded with her to stay. She explained that she was not "Hubbard enough" to stay in Pine Valley. Dre suggested that they run away together, but Cassandra did not think that he was serious. He said that he would really flee town if it meant he could be with Cassandra. Cassandra did not want him to live as a fugitive, but Dre insisted that it was his choice. Cassandra agreed to run away with him and they kissed.
