Dinah walks out of Company with some coffee and sees Matt. Dinah asks how her sister is. She wants to help Maureen. She tried to call the other day. Matt says that Maureen is seeing a counsellor to work through her problems. Dinah says that Maureen needs her family. Dinah can help. Matt says no. Dinah will talk to Vanessa about this. Matt says fine. Dinah warns Matt he’s going to be real sorry if he doesn’t let Dinah help.

Reva is at Cross Creek cursing when Shayne walks in. Reva says she’s fine. It’s just been one of those days when nothing goes wrong. Reva says her son looks great. What is wrong? She’s pregnant and has cancer. Shayne tells his mom to lie down. He will go get her a cup of tea. Reva says she’s fine. She says that her son just got on his feet. Well she can take care of him when she’s had the baby and is not fighting cancer. Shayne looks a the front of the Springfield Journal “ Prince Edmund has returned to town” .

Edmund is in the cemetery standing in the snow. Josh shows up. Edmund says there is something comforting about a graveyard. It’s peaceful. What is sad is that he has no clue where his own daughter is buried. Josh is sorry for that. Is he? Josh explains that it was a lot for them to take in that Edmund was back. Then they found out that he was Lara’s father. It was a shock. Edmund never leaves town under the best of circumstances. Josh is sorry that Edmund lost Lara. Josh has no clue the pain he would feel over losing a child. Edmund thanks Josh for his compassion. Josh then warns Edmund that he will do everything in his power to protect his son and keep him safe. Edmund understands.

Jeffrey knocks on Shayne’s door but finds no one there but Dinah. Jeffrey says that Dinah’s place was his next stop. When Shayne found out that Edmund was Lara’s father, there was this look between them. What was the look about? Dinah thought that Jeffrey was going to ship Edmund off to prison and keep an eye on him. Jeffrey is still keeping an eye on Eddie. When he’s done whatever he wants to do then Jeffrey will ship Edmund back out of town. Dinah says that is a bit hard right now because Jeffrey is so wrapped up in Reva. Jeffrey says yes because Edmund is wrapped up in her life. Reva will be happy if Shayne is happy so Jeffrey is going to make that so. Dinah can help. Jeffrey tells Dinah no.


Bill and Billy are back at the Beacon after traipsing through the woods. Billy tells his son to go off in the woods during the summer next time. Billy got a cold from the cold weather. How is Bill doing? He’s better. Bill picks up Roxie. Billy says good. Bill can go make it up to Lizzie then find a proper size pooch. This is of course as Billy is petting and laughing with Roxie.

Lizzie meanwhile is in the mansion looking at a picture of Bill. She hides it when Cyrus enters. Cyrus says that he was tailing Coop Bradshaw who was very boring. Beth doesn’t think so. Cyrus says he wants more of a challenge. He wants to be indispensable to Lizzie. How is she today? As opposed to yesterday when she he turned her proposition down. She needed someone and he was there. Lizzie says he wasn’t there. That was the problem. Cyrus says maybe next time. Lizzie says not likely that it will happen again. She hopes he had a good look yesterday with her guard down because it will not happen again. Cyrus leaves the room for a moment. Lizzie pulls out and looks at the picture of Bill.

“ Only ….”

Bill thanks his father for coming after him. He thanks him for the help. Billy questions if Bill is alright now. He’s fine. He’s been through a lot. He’s put everyone through a lot the last bit. Billy says it’s his job to worry about his son. Bill says he doesn’t make it easy for his father. Billy agrees. Bill pushed everyone away with his doubts including Lizzie. He’s sorry he did that to Lizzie. Billy says that Bill can still fix it. It’s not too late. Billy leaves. Bill plays with Roxie.

Cyrus returns to the room with a glass of orange juice. Cyrus says it was not easy to walk away from Lizzie. Lizzie smirks because he wanted to be a gentleman. Cyrus is sorry that he upset her. He just wants to be indispensable to her at work. Lizzie says she’s fine. She’ll live. Cyrus wants more from the job. He wants more of a connection with her. He thinks they can do great things together. Lizzie says he can do that by getting Beth out of this cougar mode with Coop. Cyrus wants a more challenging job. Lizzie walks over to the table to grab a glass of coffee. Cyrus accidentally bumps into her dumping his glass of orange juice on her. He’s so sorry. He can help her clean up. Lizzie says she has to go and change now. Cyrus is really sorry. Lizzie leaves. Cyrus snoops around her desk and finds the picture of Bill and Lizzie. He places it in his pocket.

Dinah is still talking with Jeffrey. Edmund has an agenda. Jeffrey says he may but Lara is his daughter. That was proven. Jeffrey is going to keep an eye on him. Reva is happy as long as Shayne is happy. Eddie can stay in town if he can help Shayne with his grief.
At Cross Creek, Reva laughs at the fact that her son is helping her out with his bum leg. She can help him when she’s feeling better. Reva says she’s too tired to argue now. Shayne says he’s sorry his mom is so stressed. Reva says that life is full of coincidences. Reva can deal with Edmund if he can help Shayne with his grief over Lara’s death. Shayne says that Edmund does want to more about Lara then he’ll leave maybe Shayne should talk to him. Reva says do that if it will help him. Shayne has no clue. Reva tells Shayne to do what is right for him. If talking to Edmund helps then do it then Edmund can crawl back under that rock he came from.

Edmund tells Josh how he had all these plans when he found Lara. Now he has to plan the death of his child. Josh has dealt with loss before. So what Edmund heard is true. Cassie has left for Hawaii. She’s happy. Reva is married to Jeffrey? Edmund never would have seen that one coming. Josh says that things change and you move on. Edmund thought he would not change but he found Lara. It’s the reason he’s around now. Edmund has all these questions about his daughter that is why talking to Shayne is so important. Shayne is Edmund’s last link to Lara. It’s why he can’t walk away yet. Josh gets that. Edmund can talk to Shayne about Lara but if Edmund hurts Josh’s son then the bet is off. Edmund will be sorry be the day that he steps back in Springfield.

Reva is sleeping on the couch when Shayne looks at the newspaper again. He rips it up seeing the stress that Reva is under because of it.


Bill finds Daisy at Company. He went up a mountain to find Phillip in the hopes that it would help keep Alan away from Lizzie. Daisy says that is so romantic. Bill tells his niece that he hit his head again. He’s had a bit of a concussion which is the downside. The upside is that he has all of his memories back. Daisy is swooning at the news. She’s so happy for Bill and Lizzie. Now they can get back together. Bill says that they have a long road to get Lizzie. He’s not sure if he deserves her anymore. Daisy says that he is over thinking this way too much. What did Lizzie say when he told her the good news? He hasn’t actually told her yet. Lizzie will want to hear this. She will then see the devotion and that Bill has for her. She’ll be swept of her feet. Bill thanks Daisy for believing in him.

Reva helps Shayne put on his jacket at Cross Creek just as Jeffrey and Dinah return. Reva is not impressed to see Dinah at all. Reva says she’s seen way too much of Dinah the last bit. Dinah asks if she can go somewhere and talk with Shayne for a moment. Shayne and Dinah step outside. Shayne tells Dinah that he is going to go talk to Edmund about Lara. Dinah says that is a huge mistake. Shayne needs to do this. Dinah again tries to warn Shayne. Reva is beyond stressed out because of this. Shayne has to keep his family safe from Edmund. Shayne is going to go and chat with Edmund then it’s over. Edmund can leave then all be happy. Shayne starts to leave. Dinah stops him. Reva watches her son and Dinah. She wishes that Dinah would find a new playmate and just leave Shayne alone.

Shayne attempts to explain to Dinah about Edmund. Reva is beyond stressed. Shayne is going to ask Edmund to leave. Dinah says that Edmund is not a simple landmine that Shayne can just diffuse.

Lizzie tells Cyrus they can head out later. She’ll meet him in the study. Cyrus leaves. Bill questions Lizzie and Cyrus? What is up with that? He likes her. She likes him. It’s simple which is a nice change. Why is he there? He wants to tell her something. He went out of town to find… .Lizzie and Cyrus? Cyrus is a con man and a player. He’s a cad just ask Alexandra. Lizzie says everyone deserves a second chance. She gave Bill how many chances. Bill then sees the pink leash. He remarks that belongs to Roxie. Lizzie must still care. Lizzie lies and says that she actually was planning on messenger it to Bill. She doesn’t want Roxie or Bill back. Cyrus and Lizzie will be heading out soon. She has to get ready. Is there anything else? Bill says no. He just wanted to make sure that she is o.k. She’s fine. Bill leaves. Lizzie looks in the mirror and fixes her hair.

Cyrus sees Daisy at Company. He’s looking for Grady. Company is not one of Grady’s favourite spots. Has Cyrus check out the mayor’s office? Cyrus can’t still wrap his head around that concept. Cyrus says that he had a job for Grady. Daisy says she can help. She’s always needing extra money. Cyrus says that actually it would not work for her. It involves his work with Lizzie at Spaulding Lewis. How is that work? Cyrus smirks. It’s interesting. It’s hard to describe. Daisy can’t believe that Cyrus is making a move on Lizzie now. Daisy goes off on Cyrus. He can’t keep coning women. First Marina, then Harley and Cassie and now Lizzie? He needs to stay away from Bill and Lizzie. Daisy leaves. Cyrus is shocked by Daisy’s outburst.

Shayne tells Dinah he can handle Edmund. Dinah says that is not easy as he thinks. Shayne hides his feelings behind a wall like Dinah. They have great intentions but they usually backfire on them. Think about it. Edmund will start pushing Shayne about his love for Lara and Shayne will crack and make a comment. All heck will break loose then. Shayne leaves. Dinah calls out. Reva rushes over to Dinah. Reva saw that exchange. What happened? Dinah says she may need Reva’s help. Does Reva have a car? Dinah is going to need it.

Bill is at Towers trying to figure out Cyrus and Lizzie when he sees Matt enter. Matt was supposed to meet Josh but that go delayed. Matt saw Dinah earlier. How is Bill? Bill says that a lot is going on right now. Matt says if Bill needs to talk he’s a good sounding board. Daisy shows up. Coop told her about Maureen’s problems. Daisy can talk to Maureen and scare her straight if Matt wants. Matt says thanks then leaves. Daisy asks what happened when Bill told Lizzie that he had his memory back? She didn’t believe him. He didn’t tell her because he found her there with Cyrus. They were upstairs….in her bedroom. Daisy is ticked at Cyrus. Bill climbed a mountain to help Lizzie. That has to count for something. Bill says that if he told her she would just think it’s another lie. Daisy says not necessarily. Bill has no proof that he has his memory back. He has to prove to Lizzie with his actions that he has changed. Bill has a lot of work to make that happen but he knows what he has to do.

Dinah arrives outside the Bauer cabin. She goes up to the front door. She calls out Shayne’s name and opens the door which is unlocked.

Edmund is sitting in his room at the Beacon when there is a knock at the door. It’s Shayne. Shayne says he’s there lets talk and then Edmund can leave. Edmund says that Shayne is definitely Josh’s son. Where is his manners? Shayne notices the paperwork on the table. Edmund says that they are all from Lara. Edmund tells Shayne to tell him what he knows about Lara. Did she like her work? Did she have friends? Yes and yes. What else? Edmund wants to know everything Reva has cancer again. Does Edmund not realize that? Edmund doesn’t want to fight. He wants to know about his beautiful daughter who is gone again. Lara was full of such hope and joy. She couldn’t walk away from her father even when she found out what type of man he was. She had hope for him. Can Shayne have a little compassion for a man who lost his daughter.

Dinah looks around the cabin but there is no Edmund or Shayne. Dinah pulls out her phone. There is no service out there. Reva says nobody knows where they are. Shayne is not there. Reva lied to her. Reva laughs. Dinah has done her fair share of lying in the past. Reva just bent the truth a little is all. Reva knows what it is like to bottle up her feelings. Shayne will not tell Reva or Josh about Lara. If Edmund can get Shayne to open up then that is a good thing. Shayne needs to talk about Lara. Reva tells Dinah to sit. There are books on fishing and knitting to read. It’s her choice. She is not going to see Shayne until he talks. Dinah shakes her head.

Matt and Josh are in Company when Billy shows up. Billy orders all sorts of goodies for Bill. Bill is staying at Towers. He can get all this food. Billy wants to do this for his son. Bill explains that he went on a trip with his son and Bill is back. Bill had a breakthrough. He’s not the one who kidnapped Lizzie. Billy got his son back finally. Josh says he used to be that close with Shayne. He wishes he had that closeness back.

Lizzie is in the study looking for her picture of Bill that Cyrus hid. Cyrus enters and asks how it went with Bill. Lizzie is sorry she had to use Cyrus that way. She had to do something drastic to get Bill leave. She was lying for a good cause. Cyrus has done that before. Cyrus is proving how indispensable he is. Lizzie questions if she will ever see Bill again and not feel that sadness in her heart. Cyrus is not sure but if she ever wants to talk. She can use him. Lizzie says it’s nice to have a friend. Is she looking for something? It doesn’t matter now. It was just a picture. Lizzie leaves. Cyrus pulls out the picture and crumples it in his hand.

Josh arrives at Cross Creek and finds Jeffrey. Josh has just talked to Edmund. Edmund is not going anywhere until he gets answers about Lara. Reva is not with Josh? No. Jeffrey is getting worried because at this time of day Reva always has a rest. She’s not answering her phone and Jeffrey is really starting to get worried. This is not good.

Dinah tells Reva that she is crazy. Reva saw Dinah fighting with Shayne. Dinah has no clue when to just leave Shayne alone. Dinah tells Reva that Shayne can’t tangle with Edmund right now. He’s a huge raw nerve right now. He’s not in a good place. Dinah would never hurt him. Shayne is her first friend that she’s had in a long time. Dinah needs to go find Shayne now. Reva says she can’t do that. The car is not working. Is Reva kidnapping Dinah? Reva says she is not. She called a service and they will be there in one hour. Just long enough for Shayne to talk to Edmund. Shayne is a grown man. He needs to figure this out himself. Dinah says that is right but Edmund is still Edmund.

Edmund understands that there is a lot of bad blood between him and the Lewis family. Shayne agrees with that. Edmund says that there is Lara now. Edmund says they can help each other. Shayne can’t do that. Shayne pulls out Edmund’s suitcase. Edmund says that Shayne has to see this. It’s a letter from Lara. Probably her very last words. She tells Edmund of her love for Shayne. Can Shayne really turn away from the letter?

Preview: Edmund says that Shayne has not lost a child. He has no clue how it feels. Lara saw the good in her father. Reva and Dinah are arguing. It was bad luck that Dinah was the one that found Shayne in Germany. Dinah collapses.
