Simone and Roger appear at Greenlee and Leo's door, only to discover that Mary Smythe has arrived. Simone had started to confess and apologize for her and Roger's affair, but some quick thinking on Roger's part turns the 'secret' into a surprise engagement party for Greens and Leo. Mary is overbearing and snooty, trying to manage and rearrange everything in Greenlee's life, including her bathroom towels. Greenlee says that Mary and Simone have lots in common since they both majored in journalism in college. Mary makes a comment to Simone that she would be happy to rewrite anything that is giving her trouble. Roger pulls Mary aside and wants her to back off of Greenlee and to quit trying to make over her whole life. The phone rings and Mary answers it. It is Vanessa, acting like Rosie, and she is delighted to finally talk to Mary. She makes flattering remarks about Greenlee and when she tells Mary that she works for MGM, Greenlee figures out who is calling. She grabs the phone and has a cryptic conversation with 'Rosie'. Rosie leads Greenlee to believe that she is out of Oak Haven and looking at the loft through binoculars. She makes additional comments about finishing Greenlee off and singing at the wedding. After Greenlee hangs up on her, she screams at Leo that it is all his fault for going and visiting her and treating her like she is normal. They then inform Mary that Leo's mother Vanessa is a psycho, and is committed to Oak Haven. Leo finds out that Vanessa is still locked up, but Trey managed to get her phone privileges restored. Mary is aghast to find out this information. She develops a headache and Roger drives her to the Valley Inn. As Greenlee walks them to the car, Simone promises Leo that she is done with Roger for good. He is skeptical. Simone leaves and Greenlee comes back in. Leo tries to convince her that he is only speaking with his mother so that he can find out where the drug money is. When that whole mess is over, he promises to take her anywhere in the world that she wants to go.
