Bo pulls Taylor up at the roadblock and Mitch jumps into the back seat (brandishing a gun). She tells Bo that she is going to see her boyfriend in Lakeview (buy don't they just have the most imaginative names here?). Bo asks her to take the saw horses back and goes to put them in the back seat of the car. She manages to stop him and send him off home and then drives Mitch out of town.
Nikki gets back to LaAlamain, just before Aunty Viv tops herself. The kid then decides he wants to help himself to some of her poisoned brew. She manages to knock him and spill it before it makes it to his mouth. Nikki goes upstairs to get changed and Viv heads upstairs where she has another turn with her heart.
John makes it to the hot springs, just in time to see Marlena dive under the water. When she doesn't surface, he panics, disrobes and dives in. He comes up but he still can't see her, so her dives under again.
He comes up the second time with Marlena in his arms. She's a little surprised when he tells her he didn't see her come up and was frightened for her. The sexual tension as they are so close gets too much and the begin to kiss hungrily. Eventually, John regretfully (and most irritatingly) pulls himself away. He says that they should get out before they do something they will regret. They get out and dry themselves. Marlena puts her negligee and robe back on and John his robe. John apologises to her for what just happened, but she tells him that it was her fault. She tells him she willed him to come down to the pond. She explains that she heard him and Rebecca laughing, and she knew when it stopped that they would begin to make love, and she couldn't bear that so she had to get away. She knows him so well, she knows his body, she knows how hot he gets after making love and she knew he would go to the window to get some air. So she went down to the springs and she knew, if he saw her there, he would be drawn to her. He has been so good about the whole thing, and she has done nothing but push him away. She pushed him into someone else's arms, and the moment he was there, she couldn't bear it. So she wooed him back, she seduced him back and she is so ashamed of herself. He tells her it is not her fault. He tells her that nothing ever has, or will, take away his love for her. She asks about Isabella. He tells her he loved Isabella with all his heart, but it didn't take away his love for her. Marlena asks him if he can point out Isabella's star. He does and she tells Isabella that they were just having a 'moment' but that they will be fine. Eventually they decide to go back to the resort, but as they do, they hear a noise in the bushes and realize that someone has been watching them.......
