The Richard's
Caitlin explained to Olivia she will be going to San Francisco with her and will not be going away with Cole. Olivia tried to convince Caitlin otherwise, but Caitlin said it was final. Caitlin realized that Cole would never change. Going away with her mother was the only way she knew to sort out the mess.

Olivia frantically called Bette and asked her to warn Cole about Caitlin's plans.

Richard's Communication Group
To Ben, Meg, and Gregory's dismay and astonishment Annie claimed to be the new partner in the Liberty Corporation. Annie's father left his shares to her in his will. Their meeting was disrupted when Gregory received a phone call from Caitlin, who told him she is going to San Francisco with Olivia. Gregory hurried out. Annie boasted she was finally going to be Ben's partner even if it wasn't the type she had mind. Annie explained she had plans of her own starting with corporate downsizing. This threat to Meg's job prompted Ben to remind Annie that Meg works for Gregory and her job is safe. Meg asked to speak with Annie alone. Ben happily obliged and sarcastically wished Annie good luck.

Meg warned Annie to stay away from her and Ben. None if the stunts that Annie pulled has split Ben and Meg up. Annie admitted she no longer has designs on Ben as she has bigger fish to fry (Gregory). As Meg headed out the door, Annie called out "hey, Maria". Meg was shocked. Annie taunted Meg that she would never be anything but a poor Maria substitute. Meg didn't back down from Annie.

Later on, Annie stumbled onto an interesting piece of paper when rifling through Gregory's desk. This inspired her to give Tim, who is still in Kansas, a call. Annie let Tim know that Meg is back in Sunset Beach. They both declared that they are through chasing Ben and Meg. Annie buttered Tim up by suggesting she missed him. She claimed that if he wanted to get somewhere then he needed to come back to Sunset Beach and team up with her. Tim was not so sure. We found out that Annie's ulterior motive for getting Tim back to Sunset Beach was that he has stock in the Liberty Corporation. The piece of paper Annie had found was a list of stockholders. Tim has just enough to tip things in Annie's favor.

The Beach
Ben and Meg took a romantic stroll on the beach. When they stopped, Meg reminded Ben he was standing in the exact same spot where she first saw him. They liken their first meeting to the Sunset Beach legend. It was only fitting that they were back at that same spot. That was where Meg's adventure began. Ben added it is where they can begin again.

The Java Web
Vanessa and Michael discussed their problems about the cabin burning down and not having their weekend together. Vanessa suggested to Michael that maybe the fire was arson. Michael thought the idea was ridiculous as who would want to burn the cabin down. Just then Virginia comes over to their table. She reminded Michael that she is will to help repair the cabin.

Michael excused himself because he had to go work on some cabin reparations. Vanessa mentioned she could come over and see him later. Michael explained that wouldn't be a good idea because she would just distract him.

Virginia and Jimmy looked for information on Vanessa on the Internet.

Cole's
Elaine found Cole packing up and realized that he was leaving. Cole promised he would return to Sunset Beach one day, but he didn't know when it would be. Elaine doesn't understand because she thought he was happy. Cole claimed he was happier than he had ever been because he felt rooted to people and a place. He must leave so that he and Caitlin can be together. Elaine told Cole not to blame all of his problems with Caitlin on Gregory and Olivia. Cole admitted that he should have known his past would come back to haunt him.

Bette burst in and interrupted them. She impressed upon Cole that Olivia had just called her and he needed to hurry over to the Richard's and stop Caitlin from leaving with her mother. Cole was confused because he thought Caitlin was going away with him, but he quickly leaves. When Elaine wanted to know what Bette was up to. Bette claimed to know nothing. Elaine demanded to know if Olivia and Gregory are behind everything.

The Richard's
Caitlin thanked her family for supporting her.

Gregory was pleased that everything was going as planned. Olivia was horrified. Gregory explained that the ends justify the means. He told Olivia the doctor in SF already knows about their plan.

As Caitlin and Olivia were saying goodbye, Cole showed up and started banging on the door. He begged Caitlin not to do this to him.
