We begin at the country club, where Martin is pressing Bill for information about what happened after he left yesterday’s meeting.
“The less you know, the better,” Bill tells him, reminding Martin that he isn’t the only person facing potential consequences.
Bill then asks Martin to point out the busboy who’s been harassing him. More specifically, “I need to see that bastard’s face.”
Per Bill’s instruction, Martin later confronts the busboy, who wastes no time getting to business. “You got my money?” he asks, setting up a meeting the next night at River Bridge. “Make sure to come alone. If you try to pull anything, the deal’s off and you’re front-page news.”
That’s when Martin takes charge, telling the busboy to meet him at the casino instead, because “that’s where the money is.” Otherwise, no deal.
Hayley’s Health Crisis
Meanwhile, Hayley arrives at the hospital with Dani, the later of whom remains unconvinced of any alleged emergency. “The only thing she’s pregnant with is her fantasy,” Dani informs Ashley upon admittance.
When Ashley says that stomach pain could be a sign of a miscarriage, Dani drops this instantly iconic line: “This is a miscarriage of justice!” Cue the slow clap.
Ashley brushes off Dani’s claims, reminding her that pregnancies are extremely hard to fake with modern hospital technology, before calling Bill to alert him to Hayley’s hospitalization.
Bill arrives, grateful to Dani for bringing Hayley to the hospital — but his gratitude could be short-lived. Ashley reminds Dani that if Hayley really is having a miscarriage, Bill will be furious with Dani for introducing so much chaos into the situation.
The good news — at least for Hayley and Bill — is that there is a baby, and he’s fine. Since Bill wasn’t there for the ultrasound, Hayley says she asked the doctor to email them a video of their growing baby boy. Cramping is apparently normal in the early stages of pregnancy, and Hayley says she couldn’t be better.
She does, however, admit to a bout of paranoia. She confesses to seeing Bill’s car at Dani’s house and confronting her over it. “Dani keeps telling me that I’m going to lose you,” she says. “Why did you go see her?”
Bill says he was just there to tell Dani that he chooses Hayley — and he blames Dani for creating the stress that led to Hayley’s cramping. He’s ready to rip her head off, but Hayley tells him not to give Dani the satisfaction.
Eva Offers Ted Some Words of Wisdom
Ted visits Eva at the hotel, claiming that a medical emergency pulled him away earlier. She can tell he’s lying, and she’s OK with not knowing everything he does, but she insists that he tell Nicole.
“You have to show her that you are worth trusting,” Eva says. “If Nicole finds out that you’re still keeping secrets, you could lose her for good.”
Nicole Warns Andre to Stay Away From Dani
Things are also tense at Nicole’s house, where she summons Andre for an important edict: “Stop sleeping with my sister. You both knew it was wrong. And if you didn’t, you should have.”
But Andre doesn’t back down. “Just because you don’t approve of something, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong,” he tells his aunt, who alleges that Andre took advantage of Dani’s fragile emotional state to seduce her — an act she deems “unconscionable.”
Andre defends himself against Nicole’s predatory accusations. “I don’t do manipulation,” he says. “If a woman is with me, it’s because she chose to be.”
Nicole fires back, telling Andre that he has earned his reputation as a no-strings-attached playboy, and he should have known that her sister was off-limits.
Andre says he’s been good to Dani, helping her through a difficult time, and he’s wondering why Nicole is even getting upset. Nicole calls Andre a short-term solution to a long-term problem, and it’s time he and Dani realize that.
Ted Tries (and Fails) to Come Clean
Nicole’s next visit comes from Ted, who takes Eva’s advice to heart and decides to come clean.
“Do you know how insulting it is to realize how weak you think I am?” Nicole says. “I am your partner. Keep secrets from the world if necessary, never from me.”
That’s when things get… complicated. Ted tries to tell her about the Martin situation, but she thinks he’s there to tell her about Dani and Andre sleeping together. “You’re too late, Ted,” she says. “Dani finally confessed.”
This triggers a full-blown fight, with Nicole furious at Ted for lying yet again. He says that Duprees screw up sometimes, just like any other humans, and she needs to start treating them with the same understanding she shows her patients.
“Everyone’s terrified of letting you down,” Ted tells her. He says he kept his affair with Leslie a secret for the good of their family, and she needs to accept that his love for her hasn’t changed.
“We are so far apart on this,” Nicole tells Ted, to which he replies, “Come down off your pedestal, princess, and maybe we won’t be.” Oof!
Is Hayley Lying?!
Back at Garland Memorial, Dani offers her condolences on the end of Ashley and Derek’s relationship, suggesting that the newly single nurse find some fulfillment outside of the hospital. “Someone tall, dark and handsome,” perhaps?
Right on cue, Andre arrives to tell Dani that he was just interrogated by Nicole. Bill then comes out of the room to thank Dani for helping Hayley and the baby, rubbing their happiness in her face.
“I can’t thank you enough for looking after my new little family,” he says, telling Dani that he’s off to spoil Hayley “for the rest of her life.”
That’s when the real bomb drops. After everyone has left the hospital, Ashley notices that Hayley’s ultrasound isn’t in the system — only to learn that Hayley apparently declined having one done! Could Dani be right? Is Hayley lying about being pregnant?!
Kat and Tomas’ First Time Hits a Snag
For Kat and Tomas, it’s finally time for a trip to the bone zone… or is it?
Kat tells Tomas that she’s ready to have sex, and that she’s never been more sure of anything in her entire life, but it doesn’t seem like he’s on the same page. After pulling away from Kat after hearing “something,” Kat finally asks him what’s going on.
“Can we talk about this before we go too far?” Tomas says — you know, the romantic words every girl wants to hear during sex.
Tomas assures Kat that she did nothing wrong, but he doesn’t want to pressure her into doing something she isn’t really ready to do.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, and I’m really sorry, but I can’t,” he says, suggesting they go for a walk first. Kat doesn’t understand why Tomas is suddenly making this such a big deal. “The only thing I regret is telling you I was a virgin,” she tells him. “I have waited months for this moment. I want you so much.”
Still, Tomas is worried that getting this wrong could mess things up between them for good. He says he just wants to do right by her, which means leaving.
Back at her hotel room, Eva is indulging in one of her fantasy romance novels… while also thinking about Tomas. “Not yours!” Eva tells herself. “Go find somebody who can be.”
Shockingly (to no one), Eva ends up at Uptown… with Tomas. She sees him drowning his sorrows at the bar, seizing the opportunity to flirt up a storm, but he wisely chooses to walk away instead of giving into temptation.
