Kathleen threw everyone out. They decided Cass deserved the clout but Felicia suspects or hopes Cass has a reasonable explanation. Rachel doubts it. MJ the eyewitness doubts it.
Cass told Cecile yesterday had been a turning point in his relationship with Kathleen. Cecile: let me guess. How about: you just couldn't believe you were engaged to someone who was so hopelessly middle class. Cass: no, not at all, Kathleen has edited some big magazines , when I met her she was living in NYC. She's -- sophisticated. Cecile: Oh, yeah, right. But deep down underneath the girl's just a tacky redhead from the south side of Bay City. Cass: Cecile, you don't even know her, really. Cecile: I'm not saying there's anything WRONG with being that way. Just wrong for you. Cass: no, wait a minute. Cecile: all right. She would have made the perfect little wife. Be a mother 2.3 times. Be a whiz at changing diapers and shopping the malls. But that's not you, darling, that's not what you need. Cass: Kathleen and I had a very different relationship. We never once went to a mall. Cecile: well she's not STUPID. She was waiting until AFTER she got married. LIVING for the day when she could sign your name to a revolving charge account. Cass: buying golf clubs for Father's Day. Cecile: a shag rug for the playroom. Cass: an electric lawn mower. Cecile: a food processor. Cass: and then one day -- a STATION WAGON. Cecile: Oh, horrors . That is not my Cass Winthrop. That is an outrageous violation of everything you stand for. Cass: maybe you're right. She drove the thing home, saying all married men turned into their fathers in law. Understandably shaken by the thought of being a Vince, Cass encouraged her mauling of him. For a moment. He said this show gets rated X when I say it gets rated X.
Peter persisted. Michael took offence. Peter showed him a letter saying that the Love money would be released as soon as the proper documents have been filed . Michael said the man who had signed it was a fraud but left it in Peter's hands.

Adam advised MJ to talk sense to Samuels . Mac dropped by for Rachel and offered Kathleen anything her little heart desires. She evaporated wanly. Cass assured Gloria he had no reason to desire escape. He said he was over Kathleen. She's welcome to her civil servant. He suggested they all party on the yacht. She rushed off to see to it and reassure Cecile. Cecile was lulled to a certain extent . Cass emerged eager to party. And create new memories. She said she wanted him now. He said she didn't want just him.
Peter refused to believe Michael . Michael advised him to try to find out who owned the bank. Bridget appeared and Michael took her aside for a chat about Reginald. Bridget knew him. She was relieved when he died. He frightened her. he was merciless when he didn't get his way.

Cecile presented Cass with a gold necklace as a pledge of faith.
Rachel is mad at Cass. Mac turned tail and fled as Brittany arrived. She told Rachel Peter was cold and mean and secretive all of a sudden. She's scared.
Michael promised Donna he'd restore Victoria to her soon. She's afraid he'll leave. He said he couldn't stand what she'd intended to do to Jake and it was likely he would. Necessary but not necessarily easy.
Cass and Cecile are stepping forward into their glorious future together. The necklace is a piece of the crown jewels of Tanquir. A symbol of her trust. He snapped the chain and said he was in control.
Kathleen told the Lindquists to sell her ring for St Mary's school.
