They brainstormed to try to come up with somebody but couldn't. Blake called Olivia over and asked her if she knew of anybody they could fix Phillip up with. During their conversation, Olivia gave hint that Alan and her were thinking about having a child and Reva caught it. Reva asked Olivia if she had time for a child. Olivia pointedly reminded Reva of how she wasn't there for her own children.

Alex had a meeting with Gus to give him an idea on how to get Zach back. The idea was for Gus to marry Harley. Gus got angry and told her that WHEN (not "if") he marries Harley it will be on HIS time table, not the Spauldings'. Later when Alex saw Harley at the Beacon, Alex informed her of what she told Gus to do. Harley was shocked and said she's not ready for marriage. Harley told Alexandra about Alan and Olivia's plan on having a baby and Alexandra said "Over my dead body" and went off to confront Olivia. When Gus came to the Beacon, Harley went up to apologize for what Alexandra did saying "that ridiculous idea of us getting married. Gus replied, "Why is it so ridiculous?"

Eden went to see Carmen in jail. Carmen informs her that she knows she pushed Ricco off the roof and the REAL reason why..not for revenge but to shut him up. Carmen told her that Ricco didn't die right away when she pushed him off-Carmen's "boys" found him and Carmen held his bleeding head in her hands while he uttered his last words. Carmen told Eden if she makes the evidence against her disappear, she won't make Gus's life come crashing down.
