At Towers, Edmund gives Cassie a beautiful necklace. Cassie wonders if Edmund gave her the necklace because she told him that she loves him. Cassie says she didn't expect him to give her anything in return. Edmund says okay and starts to take the necklace from Cassie. Cassie stops him and says that doesn't mean she doesn't want the necklace. Cassie apologizes to Edmund for taking so long to admit her feelings for him. Edmund says she did take a long time but she said the words when she felt she was ready to say them. Cassie and Edmund kiss.

Philip tells them that he heard Olivia's voice outside his room. Alan and Rick think Philip is hallucinating again and gently push him back in his room and get him back in bed.

At the museum, the ladies search for information on Marianne Caruthers on the internet. The search fails to give them any information because there are too many women with the same name. Danny calls Michelle and tells her the Mayor will not be running for reelection. Danny asks Michelle to come home to help him decide if he should run for Mayor. Michelle smiles and says she will be right home. Michelle tells Marah and Marina that her wish for Danny is coming true. The ladies want more details but Michelle says she will tell them later. Michelle tells them to keep working on the mystery and leaves. Marah tells Marina that she feels like she is blaming Josh for something that he may not have done.

Olivia says she needed to grieve privately. Olivia cries and says she must find Philip to tell him the news.

Olivia worries that Philip won't be able to handle the news.

At the hospital, Philip is desperate to get out of the hospital. Philip explains to Rick and Alan that he won't be able to get better at Cedars because it's filled with reminders of Olivia and the baby. Alan suggests to Philip that he go to Ravenswood hospital.

Rick assures Philip he is just doing what he needs to do in order to get well. Philip tells Rick he can't take one more loss in his life.

At Danny and Michelle's house, Bill paces back and forth making plans for the campaign. Danny tells him to slow down because he hasn't made his decision yet. Michelle arrives and Bill goes to the kitchen so Danny and Michelle can talk. Danny tells Michelle he isn't sure being Mayor is his dream. Michelle tells Danny that his dream was to get out of the mob life and make amends for all the hurt that Carmen caused. Michelle tells Danny he has done that for the people of Fifth Street and being Mayor is just an extension of his dream. Michelle and Danny kiss and Danny yells for Bill to come back because he has made his decision. Danny tells Bill that he has decided to run for Mayor.

At the Museum, Marah finds old newspaper clippings which talk about the museum exhibit. In the article a man named Horace Caruthers is quoted as saying that the first responsibility is to the artifacts and the exhibit, not to old curses. Marina finds an invitation to the museum gala which also lists Brandon Spaulding as one of the guests. The ladies are even more puzzled by this mystery and how the clues fit together. Carrie arrives to help the ladies organize their clues. The ladies begin asking Carrie rapid fire questions. Carrie tells the ladies that Marianne Caruthers, the exhibit and their fathers and Grandfathers, are all connected. Carrie asks the ladies what all three of the ladies have in common. Marah and Marina start thinking of this but miss the most obvious thing. Carrie tells them that all three of their names begin with the letter M. Carrie implies that their names begin with M because of Marianne. Marah explains that her name is a combination of both her grandmothers names. Marina says that her parents named her and they didn't know anything about Marianne. Carrie suggests that sometimes adults have ways of doing things that their family doesn't know about at all.

At Towers, Alan sees Olivia and is relived that Philip wasn't imagining things this time. Alan explains Philip's condition to Olivia. Alan says that it will do Philip good to see Olivia and the baby before he goes to Ravenswood. Olivia struggles to find the words to tell Alan she lost the baby. Cassie tells Edmund she can't understand how Olivia can be so strong. Cassie is reminded of the baby she and Richard lost.
