Tad informs Opal & Krystal that he is getting married to Cara. Opal is shocked and Tad assures her there is a good reason for this. Tad asks them to both keep this secret because Cara's life on it.

The immigration agent calls Amanda and wants to meet with her to talk about Cara. Amanda doesn't know why. He brings up that Amanda is the person that informed them about Cara. Amanda claims they have the wrong number. He says to meet him at ConFusion in 15 minutes and if she doesn't show up, he will find her. Amanda is upset and Jake comes up behind her and hugs her. Jake offers to take her out for a coffee at ConFusion and says he won't take no for an answer.

Liza is glad Colby's okay. Colby says she's fine and Liza can go now. Liza knows she doesn't want to talk to her or look at her but wants to try and explain.

Erica tells Jack she was upfront about why she didn't go to Greenlee's wedding but she thinks Jack didn't want her to be there. Jack apologizes and says he loves her too much to ever hurt her. Erica feels the same way. Jack asks why this keeps happening and thinks something has changed. Jack brings up that they don't have a wedding date. Erica thinks that's different than if they get married at all. Jack thinks it's a possibility. Erica says she's the only one fighting for them. Jack claims she's just fighting to be in control. Jack says someone's going to call their wedding off and thinks that Erica wants to be the one to do it.

Opal wonders what Tad gets out of the marriage. Opal thinks Tad is cutting himself off from having a real family. Tad says it's about family, loyalty, and saving someone's life.

Cara gets that Griffin hates the idea. Griffin wonders how this will help her get over Jake. Cara thinks it could be good for them to be a part of a family.

Krystal asks if Tad has thought about their daughters, having a stepmother. Krystal doesn't think they can handle it. Tad says he's asking her for Cara, Jake, and himself to pretend that they are in love. Krystal asks where this is going to take place, who's going to move in with who.

Liza just wants her to understand and where they were at when this happened. Liza says they were both in horrible places and just wanted to comfort him. Liza says it just happened and then they both knew they made a mistake. Liza holds back tears and says there's no words because she knew how Colby would feel since her mother did the same thing to her.

Erica tells Jack she loves him as much as she ever has maybe more. Jack says he loves her too but that's never been their problem. Erica asks what the problem is and why they are postponing the wedding. Jack says Caleb obviously has feelings for her. Erica tells him that her association with Caleb is practically non existent.

He exits as Amanda covers her face in frustration. Jake walks up and catches Amanda getting coffee after all. Amanda thought he was in surgery. Jake says he got out and early and asks what she was doing with the immigration guy.

Griffin starts asking questions about Cara that Tad will need to know. Cara stops him and says they don't have time for this. Griffin asks if they are going to get married in church. Tad says not a chance but Cara says absolutely.

Amanda tells Jake that she was just trying to convince the agent how in love Tad and Cara were. Amanda says that she called the agent since she was feeling bad for wishing Cara would disappear so she hoped she could make up for it. Jake thanks her. Amanda says she just wants to help since she wouldn't forgive herself if anything happened. Jake tells her that it isn't her fault. He kisses her and goes on back to work.

Cara gets that they haven't worked out all the details yet. Tad knows they have catching up to do. Tad thinks they should have a signal to answer each other's questions. Griffin shouts that it's not a game. Griffin says if they mess up in front of anyone else, it's over. Tad says the stakes are too high so they have to make sure their stories are perfect.

Asher says she didn't do anything wrong. Colby cries that she loved Damon so much. Asher hugs her as she cries.

Krystal tells Jack she isn't sure why she's taking this so hard since her and Tad have both dated other people but getting married is bigger. Jack asks if Krystal loves Tad. Krystal says not like that anymore, but she depends on him to be there when she wakes up and help with the kids. Krystal says it is all going to change. Krystal laughs and says the truth is that she's scared of being alone. Jack tells her that sometimes she can be with someone and still feel awfully alone.
