Cass is preparing for his last-ditch dinner with Kathleen. Without her there is no reason to try to escape the hangman.
Felicia and Zane returned from the mountains.
Mac is playing the stock market with wild abandon. Rachel returned and he received her with relief and tears saying that everything was all right now that she was back. He asked why she'd come back. She told him Liz had called. Mac flipped out slightly and said everything was all right and asked her to dance. He flirted with her shamelessly. She took it in fun; he took it in earnest and asked her to marry him. She played along all unsuspecting and said yes. He told her to set the date. She said April fools. He raved and raved and said they should have children. She mentioned Amanda and Matthew and he said they were lovely names.
Neal has boat plans. Nancy dropped by for her mail. He got her to confide her troubles. She gets upset over Chris' work. Nancy got a credit card in the mail. She wants to break it in. She asked him to help her out. He said he was booked up. She said thank you thank you thank you and rushed out confusing him no end.
Cass is going to behave himself. He has to prove to Kathleen he loves her. Wally assures him she loves him. He blames himself for all the screwups along the way. Kathleen is more important than avoiding the guillotine.
Broken Wings. Fleeing Cass is hard but staying with is too painful.
Felicia leapt up on a chair. Zane picked up Florette, a skunk with whom he has a certain rapport. She called him a skunkophile. Knock knock. Zane: oh, that must be the bear. I'm trying to teach him to knock. Felicia: oh, you are. A bear that knocks. Zane: course I'm trying to get him to phone first, but you know. Enter Lily. They're thrilled to see her. She's got to leave tomorrow. She hopes Kathleen won't. Zane says Edouard is a snake. Felicia hopes Cass' dinner works.
MJ got upset to see Kathleen's suitcases ready. They're leaving tonight. Kathleen's not telling Cass. She wants to hurt him so he'll give up. She admits she loves him. MJ told her to call him.
Liz apologized to Rachel for overreacting. Mac brought them flowers and took Rachel home. Neal was delighted to see her. Rachel went to unpack. Neal and Mac talked about the boat plans until Mac flipped out and whispered that he hadn't told the papers but the insurance investigators knew where the treasure was. Neal was interested. Mac told him to keep it under his hat. "I hope you have a hat."
Kathleen refused. MJ yelled at her. Kathleen resents it. She screamed back. She cried and said this was difficult and she needed her support. MJ gave in. They love each other. Edouard arrived to take Kathleen. She agreed to call Cass to say goodbye.
Cass has high apple pie in the sky hopes. He left to pick up Kathleen before the phone rang.
Neal tried to pump Mac further. Mac started raving about books, in particular "Atlantis — A New Theory out of China." Neal sent him to answer a supposed call from Rachel so he could phone Fayez. Something's afoot.
Kathleen and Edouard left although he was willing to wait. She told MJ to tell Cass not to call. The devoted sisters. Best friends.
Lily gave Felicia Passion's Progress [by Felicia Gallant] in Chinese. She loves her life although it's so hectic. She thinks Zane's swell. She can't be back for the wedding.
Chris found Nancy waiting in his loft with cream of mushroom soup and an early birthday present. A watch. [This girl is going to run up such the credit card bill.] She rented some movies and a VCR and bought popcorn. He's on call but they might get lucky.
Lily and Quinn miss Grant but life goes on.
Cass got to the McKinnons' and chattered incessantly. When Kathleen was not in evidence MJ confessed Kathleen had gone. Cass was confused. He decided against trying to stop her at the airport in favor of following her to California. MJ convinced him to wait a little.
Felicia and Zane are upset about Kathleen's flight. Zane insists they let them fend for themselves.
Neal rushed to the mine. Fayez told him that Ramirez had escaped and run deep into the mine beyond the point where it was safe and met with an Accident. He's dead. Neal is annoyed. No more accidents.
Rachel's worried about Mac. He just doesn't like to be separated from her.
Nancy and Chris pretty much ignored the movie. He had just made the delightful discovery that she tasted of popcorn when he was beeped.
Broken Wings. Cass stared disconsolately at his dinner and said he'd meant everything he'd said to Kathleen and would never give up.
Edouard and Kathleen are on the plane. Broken Wings. Kathleen stared out the window. Cass appeared in it.
