At the farmhouse, Olivia and Natalia are in the kitchen getting everything ready for school for Emma. Olivia is nervous for Emma because her big family presentation is today. She was working so hard. Natalia knows. Emma hid herself in her room practicing. Natalia says she has a special treat of cookies for Emma for a treat. Olivia smiles. Emma shows up. Olivia questions if Emma wants help with her project. Emma says no it's fine. It's a surprise for them. Just then the honk of the car door. Olivia has tears in her eyes as she watches Emma leave. Natalia questions. Olivia says she's not made of stone. She's proud of Emma. Natalia says she is as well. Natalia hands Olivia a cookie as well. Olivia laughs.

Mallet and Marina are at the house preparing for work. Mallet suggests something different than Chinese food tonight. They always get Chinese on Tuesday what about something different. Marina agrees but is distant as she drinks her cup of coffee. Marina says she knew that Mallet couldn't have children when she married him. Mallet gets up and says that they will figure out a way to have a baby. There are other options. They just have try. Marina agrees. She's sad as she heads off to work. Mallet calls out and says he'll bring something else back for dinner. Mallet then pulls out his phone and says that he wants to make an appointment with the doctor to talk fertility tests.

Remy and Shayne are talking in their room. The phone rings. Shayne doesn't even look but says he's not talking to Josh. How ? Remy sees that Josh has called nineteen times already. Maybe if.... Shayne says no way. Josh has to stop going behind his back and using his friends. Remy looks guilty. Remy told Josh that Shayne would figure it out. Remy is sorry for deceiving Shayne. Shayne is fine with how he is. He also doesn't need to work with Christina anymore. Shayne is fine. Remy looks at his friend.

Dinah is working her butt off at the gym when Christina comes in. Christina says that Dinah is going to work her out of a job. Christina explains that she's the trainer at the gym. Dinah continues to pump iron. Christina remarks that she's seen Dinah around with Remy. She had no clue they were so close. Dinah says she's just buddies with Remy. They were roommates a long time ago. How does Christina know Remy? Christina lies and says she's just good friends with Remy. Christina questions who all the work is for? Dinah says that she's doing it for herself. She doesn't have a guy right now. Christina says that Remy has a great friend named Shayne Lewis. Shayne is just starting to work on PT with Christina. Dinah covers her shock. Christina leaves. Dinah continues to pump iron and proceeds to drop a dumb bell on her foot because she's distracted by Shayne's news.

Only love .....

Emma arrives at class in school with her report. The teacher tells all the children to sit down and get ready for their big presentations. If they get scared just take a breath and continue on. Emma smiles at her table as she touches a picture that she drew of herself, Olivia and Natalia in the kitchen together.

Olivia and Natalia are at the farmhouse. Olivia is trying to help Natalia put dishes away. Natalia tells Olivia to go and rest. Natalia is supposed to be doing the hard work around the house. Olivia says that her heart is much better now. She can help out like lifting the laundry bag. Olivia is going to do laundry? No but that is not the point. She could do it which is the point. They are all adjusting to living together. Emma loves it. It's a good home for all of them. Olivia says she has to go to work and check on some stuff. Olivia says she will not tell Natalia I told you so when the plates fall and break on the floor. Olivia did warn her though. Natalia laughs. Natalia says fine then she is not going to mention the fact that Olivia still has toothpaste on her lip. Olivia is aghast and brushes it away. She can't help but laugh. Natalia reminds Olivia to get a warmer jacket if she's heading outside. It's out there.

Remy finds Christina back at the gym. She met his friend Dinah. She seems nice. Remy says enough with the chit chat why is Christina blowing off the MCATs which are today. Christina says she's not ditching them. Remy says hogwash. Christina says she can't very well leave her job. She has to have someone take over her shift. Remy says hogwash again because he just chatted with the assistant manager. Christina has the day off. Why does he care? He knows because she's scared of failing again. She has to have more faith in herself. Christina looks at Remy.

Dinah is grimacing at Cedars as she talks to a nurse. Dinah just needs to rest her foot and put some ice on it. She just sprained her foot with the dumbbell. Dinah thanks the nurse as she hobbles away. She almost falls over because of trying to walk with a sprained foot and high heels. She starts to fall but is caught by Mallet's strong arms.

Shayne is outside the SPD when he sees a guy manhandling his girlfriend. Shayne tells the guy to stop. He tells Shayne to buzz off. This is not the time to be a hero.

The next scene has Marina saying she'll take care of this one. She knows him personally. What is it this time? Disorderly conduct provided he keeps his mouth shut this time. Marina looks down at Shayne sitting in his chair.


At the school, a boy is finishing his presentation. The teacher asks if there is any questions. Nobody puts their hand up. Now it's Emma Spencer's turn. Emma says what makes her family unique is her two mommies. She shows a presentation. All the students and teacher are surprised.

Olivia is at Company with Frank. She challenges him to a friendly game of poker. They can donate all of her winnings to Natalia's charity. Frank says he can see she likes being room mates with Natalia. Olivia says no it's a disaster. Frank says that is hogwash. Olivia says it's horrible. She has to say prayers and grace at dinner. Olivia can barely tolerate it. Frank laughs realizing that Olivia is joking. Olivia says that Emma loves being at the house. She can't take Emma away from Natalia either. Olivia says it gets even better. She's getting better and stronger so she can move out. Frank can see that Olivia does not want to do that at all.

At Cedars, Natalia is picking up Olivia's medication when she sees Rick. She calls him Dr. Bauer. Rick laughs and says that is his dad's name. Natalia can just call him Rick. Rick says he can imagine that Natalia can't wait for Olivia to leave the house since she's getting better. Natalia says no. She loves having Olivia around. Does she want to go? Did she tell Rick something yesterday? Rick says no. Rick says that he's known Olivia for a lot of years. She was married to his best friend Phillip for a lot of years. Olivia likes the finer things in life. She's extremely high maintenance and loves all the baubles. She must hate living the low life on such a small farm. Rick says he remembered when Frank and Olivia were together. Frank is a regular guy and Olivia hated the basic life. Olivia is a high maintenance woman. Rick says of course she will not tell Natalia that because Natalia needs the money for the rent of the farm. Natalia says it's more than that or at least she thought. Rick says it's not right that Natalia is taking advantage of Olivia's generosity. Rick leaves. Natalia is stunned.

Christina is really pumping iron at the gym as Remy looks on. Christina say does this look like a scared woman. Remy says that it's a good front but still a load of hogwash. Christina doesn't want to fail again. She was studying and she had a good to honest panic attack. Remy says that Christina knows the information backwards and forwards. All the good that did last time, she failed right. So what she's not going to do it to spare herself the disappointment? Remy says that his wife is no quitter. Christina says then it's a good thing they are getting divorced right. Remy says wrong. She signed the financial aid papers not the divorce papers. She signed the papers he put in front of her. Right. Christina is beyond furious. Why because he wants his wife to have the money to go to medical school? So what they have to stay married a bit longer. Christina is beyond pissed and leaves with Remy following behind her. She has a test to take care of.

Marina takes the cuffs off of Shayne at the SPD. What is wrong with him? She's known him since they were in diapers. He went away and comes back on the day of her wedding. He doesn't even bother to congratulate her. What is wrong with him? What was he doing? That guy was manhandling his girlfriend. They were having a fight. A discussion. Shayne says it was a lot more than that. Why does he care? Couples have fights. It happens. She can call his family for him. He does have one phone call. Shayne says Marina can call the whole phone book. He's not talking to anyone about this. Marina says that there was more than that fight. Shayne wanted to get into trouble. Marina says she can't deal with this. She starts to leave and tells Shayne not to do anything more stupid. Marina leaves. Shayne puts his stuff in a bag. He pulls out the picture of his girlfriend and looks at it before he puts it in the bag.

Dinah tells Mallet at Cedars that she's sorry for bumping into him. He doesn't have to take care of her. Mallet says that is his job even when it comes to ex wives. Dinah smiles. The nurse comes out and says that the doctor will be seeing Mallet soon. Dinah is stunned because she realizes that Mallet is chatting with a fertility doc which means he and Marina. Mallet tells Dinah that he and Marina are trying to have children. Dinah is stunned.

Frank look at Olivia at Company. This makes no sense. She's getting better but she hates it? Olivia says that she moved in with Natalia so she could take care of her. If she's not sick anymore, it means she and Emma can move out. Is that why she's staying at the farm? The only reason. Emma loves the farm and actually so does Olivia. They like living there. It's a real home. It's the first place where they've felt like they belonged. Frank smiles seeing that it's good changes for Olivia as well living there. Natalia is good at making a home. If that is all she was good at then she'd be married to Frank. Frank really has no clue does he. Natalia is so much more. She isn't just a mother and waitress. She's a smart independent woman. She just needs to be pushed. Natalia is a smart capable woman. Olivia describes how when Natalia first came to work for Olivia all she did was get the dry cleaning. What did Olivia do? She pushed her and said that Natalia was going to do more. Natalia was ticked but she was soon doing staff meetings alone. She's incredible at it. Frank needs to see not what Natalia just is but who she can be which is so much more.

Shayne is close to the jail at the SPD. Marina says that this is his last chance. She can call Josh for him. Shayne again says no way. He would love a pizza though. Marina says funny. He doesn't want anyone there. He's fine. Marina pushes Shayne into his cell. He's going to have her help whether he likes it or not. Marina steps out and locks the door. Shayne looks at her.

It's awkward between Mallet and Dinah at Cedars. Dinah can see that Mallet must really love Marina if....he's going to try to have children with her. Mallet says that Marina will be an incredible mother. He wants to give that to her. Mallet is willing to look at all options to make it happen. Dinah is impressed. Marina wants a family but she still married Mallet knowing he couldn't have kids. They .... It wasn't in the cards for Dinah and Mallet. Dinah will find Mr. Right. He's out there for her as well. The nurse comes out. He can see Mallet now. Mallet heads in. He asks Dinah to wish him luck which she does. Mallet leaves. Dinah's phone rings. It's Marina. Marina needs her help with Shayne. Shayne needs someone here with him at the SPD. Will she come? Marina looks over at Shayne.


Emma shows pictures that she has drawn of her family. The teacher thanks her and tells the children that even though Emma's family life is different they should still be respectful. Do the kids have questions? The kids ask and Emma says she loves having two mommies. It's a lot of fun. Emma smiles at all the questions.

Olivia returns home to the farmhouse. She looks at picture of Natalia and then touches the rosary. She smiles. Just then Natalia comes in. Natalia says she has to say sorry. She's sorry for taking advantage of Emma because Rafe is not home. She shouldn't be doing that. Olivia says she's the one who is sorry. She barged into Natalia's home. Natalia could have just helped her at the hotel but she opened up her home. Natalia is sorry she's keeping Olivia away from her real life. Emma loves living at the farm and so does Olivia. Olivia doesn't want to leave. She wants to stay. Can she stay? Of course. This is her home. Natalia wants both of them to stay. Olivia and Natalia hug.

Christina works on the MCATs. She writes the answers down quickly. Remy paces outside just as nervous for Christina.

Shayne is in jail at the SPD when Dinah shows up. Marina called her? Dinah makes the crack that Shayne must love the SPD. He's there so much. Shayne tells Dinah she needs a hobby other than him. He suggests knitting. Dinah questions why he can't figure out why this is not about him. Can he just let her help him? Shayne looks at Dinah.

Olivia is sitting in the living room when Natalia brings a box of tissue in for both of them. Who would have though that they would both love living together as a family. Olivia has tears in her eyes. What is it? It's not just Emma. It's Olivia as well. She loves having a home. Emma rushes in. The presentation went so great. Everyone loved it. She has a piece of paper for them. It's an invitation to family night at the school. Olivia smiles at Natalia. Natalia suggests hot chocolate to celebrate.

Christina leaves the school pissed off at herself. She just blew through the test and probably failed again. Why did she do that? Remy tells Christina that she passed. She knows that better than anyone. Christina realizes that Remy purposely pissed her off. Well if she's thinking about him then she's not thinking about her nerves for the test? Christina is ticked. Remy suggests something warm since it's so cold outside.

Mallet and Marina are at Cedars. They find out that it's a no go with kids naturally. Mallet can't do the work. Marina say she's fine. Mallet is devastated. Marina says there is other ways right. The doctor says there is. The doctor hands Marina some pamphlets. They both knew it was a long shot. Mallet is fine but it's not over. They are going to find a way to have a baby.

Dinah and Shayne look at each other at the SPD. Shayne tells Dinah to buzz off. Dinah agrees. She heads out. The guard says it's weird that Shayne has not even bothered to call his girlfriend yet. Girlfriend? There is a pretty picture of her in the personal effects. Dinah is stunned. Dinah takes out her phone. She and Josh have to talk.

Preview - Shayne is in jail and Reva is across from him. Josh arrives. Reva says that Shayne wasn't going to talk to him so she figures she can stay across from him until he does. Josh and Reva start arguing. Shayne tells them to stop. Mallet then throws Josh in jail. Why is he doing that? The Lewis clan is a pain in the butt.
