She tells Mindy if somebody starts asking questions, to play dumb. Mindy offers her a loan, but Tangie says that's how she got in trouble in the first place. Mindy says it's ok. Josh asks Tangie what's up. Tangie says she wishes she'd been surrounded by family like Josh is. She could always move on and be who she wanted. She says she made a lot of mistakes.

Ed's- Bridget says it doesn't matter if hart comes back, she gave up Peter because Van and Billy were good parents. Dylan asks Vanessa who told her about Hart being the father.

Gilly tells him to come back into the office because she's waiting. Gilly tells AM she came for her promise. Cutter listens in. AM says he needs time to convince Alex, but in the meantime he can put her in charge of WSPR. Gilly says she hopes he's not leading her on on bothe the business and personal level because she deserves better. She says Roger was sorry and Alex will be too. She leaves. Holly's- Ed asks what's going on. He asks Eve why the hell she came over. Holly says her gun is gone. Ed asks Eve if she took it. She walks out and refuses to answer.
