Cara says yes and she wants him to know how grateful she is. Cara kisses Tad. Tad responds by saying he wants a divorce. Cara asks if he's serious. Tad says not a divorce but maybe a serious step back because if the marriage is only based on gratitude then it's time for plan B because he wants a lot more than that.

Cara reminds him that she's not in danger because of him.

JR tells Marissa it should be funny that he's taking love advice from a lesbian. Marissa didn't realize JR and Bianca had gotten so close. JR says Bianca wasn't happy or encouraging it at first but then she saw how much he changed and how much he loves her. JR says first it was about him but now it's about her and their family.
