Traitor. Turncoat. Rat. That's our Neal. And a dead man. A lot of fuss and M. Garbon screaming KILL HIM.
Jake decided Neal might need help and thought he should go up. Vic told him not to go.
Felicia decided it wasn't a movie and got worried. She saw Larry Ewing through the binoculars and asked where Zane was.
Zane is in a bad way. He croaked, "Felicia."
Catlin told Clarice about his great time with Sally. She is worried. He asked what was wrong. She told him she was afraid because Larry was on a top secret assignment. He said he'd go to police headquarters. Sally came in as he was leaving and he left her in charge of Clarice.
Neal escaped and ran to the police. He said Washington wanted M. Garbon alive.
Vic refused to let Jake go without her.
Marley feels fear again. She decided to call Catlin.
Felicia and Wallingford returned to the property and found Zane hadn't been and gone. Their note is untouched. Wally said they shouldn't get in the way of the melee. Felicia is worried about Zane. Wally was persuaded to take Felicia back to look for Zane although Zane can take care of himself.
Vic has pinned her faith on Neal. Jake agreed to wait 10 minutes before killing the head maniac. Vic asked him if he was going to tell Marley nothing had happened. He pointed out nothing had. She wishes she didn't have to love him or he didn't love Marley or maybe both. Why Marley? Why not me? He said she pushed too hard. She said she'd lost more than she gained when she became Victoria Love: she lost him.
Marley got Catlin to admit that the police were up to something. The feds are involved and it must be the treasure. She's sure Jake and Victoria are involved. Peter forbade her to go with Catlin.
Terry found Jake and Vic and shepherded them out to M. Garbon. He dragged Victoria out as a hostage. He asked for Neal in exchange. Neal offered himself up. M. Garbon said he'd changed his mind and had decided to kill Victoria too. Jake shot.
Marley fainted in Peter's arms. She came around whimpering please let it be over. The feelings are gone. She has to see Jake.
Victoria is all right. Jake wants to call Marley. Larry has questions for them but Jake is upset having just shot a man. Shooting M. Garbon was however a good thing. Vic said she knew he'd shot Garbon for her.
Clarice chopped onions furiously. Sally assured her it wasn't her fault that Larry was in danger. Clarice regrets having made him sleep on the couch considering he might die.
Vic told Jake he loved her very much. I don't think he believes it. Neal told them Garbon was alive. He suggested they go out sometime. She said he scared her because he did things too well. He denied being a playboy. Jake melted away somewhere. He accused her of having stolen the jewels to save the Love mansion. She said she wished she were the fascinating woman he believed her to be. He said they were very much alike, adept at living two lives. She said he scared her because she'd believed he was really going to kill them.
Larry was less than pleased to see Catlin crawling around. He showed Neal to him as a fed. Catlin accepted it at once having suspected Neal of double dealing for ages. Neal handsomely allowed that he'd been afraid Catlin would blow his cover. Catlin was delighted to see Jake and Victoria [especially Jake]. Larry told him to give them a lift. Neal told Victoria [discreetly] that they'd be asking her questions by and by. Be in touch.
Felicia confided her fears in Larry. Lieutenant Simpson lured Larry away with whispers in his ear. Felicia was certain they pertained to Zane. Wally reassured her. She and Wally started a search on their own against his better judgment.
MJ called the Loves with the news that Jake and Vic were safe. Peter asked Marley if she weren't a little worried — she cut him off saying she trusted them. He said that would seem remarkable in anyone but her. She's angry that Jake and Vic were close friends as children but only because Peter's dastardly father kept her from her twin.
Jake and Victoria returned home. On the doorstep she kissed him and said "to the victor the spoils."* Once the door was opened however it was Marley in Jake's arms. Victoria was left to sulk elsewhere. Marley wept. Jake assured her he'd always be there.
Clarice was relieved to hear that Larry was all right.
Neal doesn't want another assignment.
Wallingford found Zane.
* Is Jake a spoil?↩
