__________________________________________________

Brooke, Hayley, and Maddie:

Brooke is losing it, Hayley tells Maddie that she's gonna be the prettiest girl at the wedding except for the bride. Maddie says her Mommy was a bride and Brooke drops her glass of water.

Edmund and Mateo:

Edmund tells Mateo at SOS that the wedding date they've chosen is August 23rd. Mateo says that's awfully close to Maria's memorial service. Edmund tells Mateo he thinks this year they shouldn't do the memorial service. That they should just let it go.

Mia:

She lights a candle in the chapel for her son's birthday, wishing him everything good in the world. She also prays for Liza's trust and Jake walks in, telling her he's sorry for not believing in her.

Tad, Liza, and Adam:

Liza tells Adam the tape won't interest him, he asks if they're hiding something from him and she makes up a lame lie that they're looking at audition tapes for WRCW. When Adam begins to push play Liza yells at him that he can't do that.

Mia and Jake:

Mia's not up for forgiving him, they fight a little. She leaves him but he grabs her and tells her that when Adam's involved he's not able to be objective and he tells her about Adam letting him think Colby was his daughter. She tells him she understands about losing a child but that doesn't exactly make it better that he told her she was betraying her sister and siding with Adam. Jake tries to sympathize with Mia every time she sees Trey it must remind her of the child she gave up for adoption. She tells him that's totally different. Mia tells Jake he's right not to trust her. She tells him she's lied to him again and again.

Tad, Liza, and Adam:

Adam wants to know what is so secretive about the tape and Tad gets him out of the room. Tad goes along with Liza's plan and talks to Adam about how "fragile" and unstable she is right now and not to grill her. He asks for Adam to let him handle it and Adam says hell no.

Edmund and Mateo:

Edmund tells Mateo he thinks they should celebrate her life but not the anniversary of her death anymore. Mateo's angry that Edmund thinks he gets to choose for Maria's whole family. Edmund tries to explain to Mateo that remembering her death isn't what Maria would want and Mateo asks if this new insight is because of Brooke. He tells Edmund that Maria has three sisters, a brother, a mother, and two children and that they're not ready to just forget Maria, not now, not ever. He storms off.

Brooke, Hayley and Maddie:

Brooke pretends it's the jitters. Hayley tells Maddie that Maria had the jitters too but you get them because you're happy. Maddie asks if her angel mommy will be at the wedding. Hayley tells Maddie that she has two mommies and how lucky she is.

Brooke flashes back to the plane crash and saving Maddie at Maria's request. A painful memory.

Hayley's still talking about Maddie's new family and Hayley sees Brooke is losing it and sends Maddie away. Brooke tries to pretend it's nothing. Hayley says she knows what's scaring Brooke.

Tad, Liza, and Adam:

Adam tells Tad to stay out of it and goes back into the room where Liza was. By this point she has switched the tape and is playing a little nutty. He pushes play.

Mia and Jake:

Jake asks what she has to be sorry for. Mia tells him Trey's not the father and she lied to him so she wouldn't have to tell him the real story. She tells him he's trying to trust her so she wants to be honest with him. He tells her it's none of his business, it's the father's business since the father has ALL the rights. (Um, excuse me Jake, I realize this is personal for you but the mother has AT LEAST equal rights, thank you) She tells him her son's father never even knew he had a baby.

Edmund and Mateo:

Edmund tries to explain to Mateo that he will never forget Maria and he doesn't need to celebrate her death every year to remember! He swears to Mateo if he could bring Maria back he would do anything. He tells Mateo he's sorry and wants the family to be okay with not celebrating her death every year. He tells Mateo Maria would want him to be happy and that he is now because of Brooke. He asks Mateo why he is so upset, he wasn't when he was engaged to Alex. (God I miss Alex. I love Anna but Alex's story was so not finished and she was SO cool!) Edmund explains to Mateo that he needs a clean slate when he marries Brooke and he'd hoped he'd understand. Mateo tells Edmund to wait a sec.

Brooke and Hayley:

Hayley says Brooke doesn't have to say what's bothering her, that it's Maddie constantly bringing up Maria. Brooke says Maddie should and needs to talk about her mother and that she would never stop that. Hayley says though that it's hard to have a constant reminder of Edmund and Maria's life together. Brooke tells Hayley that's not it, it's that she's overwhelmed with getting things ready for the wedding. Hayley begs Brooke to talk to her before she goes over the edge. Brooke tells Hayley Maria's back. Hayley asks what she means by that. Brooke asks Hayley how she can marry Edmund knowing Maria's back. Brooke tells Hayley that everyone's gonna know Maria's alive and Hayley interrupts, thinking Brooke's just losing it, and tells her to sit down. Brooke tells Hayley she's lost Edmund and Hayley tells Brooke the only way she'll lose Edmund is if that's what she chooses. Brooke says Hayley doesn't understand and Hayley does her cute, "Oh! But I do. The only way Maria will come back is if YOU bring her back." (Oh how true those words are unfortunately) Hayley thinks Brooke is just going through pain for the same reason she lost it once she married Mateo the second time. She thinks Brooke's making it all up like she did when Raquel came back and that Brooke is feeling all this inside her because deep down she doesn't think she could be happy. Hayley explains that she did that and that's how she felt and that it was wrong to feel that. That Brooke DOES deserve to be happy.

Edmund and Mateo:

They grieve together a bit over Maria. Mateo tells Edmund that he lost a sister yes, but Edmund lost a best friend, mother of his children, and his wife. Mateo tells Edmund Maria would want him to have a life and so does he, so what Edmund wants is find.

Mia and Jake:

Jake can't get over the fact that she made this decision on her own and that she took away all the father's rights. Jake tells her she's just like Adam Chandler.

Tad, Liza, and Adam:

It turns out to be Adam and Liza's wedding and that she didn't want him to see it because she knew he wouldn't understand. She wanted to ask Tad if he ever thought she could be as happy as she was on the video and that she knows she can't. Liza tells him she's lost it and that she will never be the same. Adam tells her she is the same and that she will be all right. She tells him he knows it's not true and she tells him to admit it.

Brooke and Hayley:

Hayley tells Brooke everything will work out for her and Edmund. Hayley holds Brooke and tells her she deserves it. Hayley leaves and Brooke calls and tells her detective to call off the search, but they say they've already found her.

Mia and Jake:

Mia tries to explain to Jake but he will hear nothing because she took away the father's rights. Jake tells Mia she did the same thing Adam did, switch the paternity of the baby so the father would have no rights. Mia tells him she knows how hard it was for him to lose Colby but that's not what she did. He doesn't believe her.

Tad, Liza, and Adam:

Adam asks Tad for some privacy. Adam tells Liza it's his fault what she's been doing, that he's responsible. He tells her he pushed her too hard too fast, that she wasn't ready but he wanted her back so much he pushed her too far. He asks her to forgive him and she says he doesn't even have to ask. He holds her and tells her that even though Colby's mother can't be there for her right now, her father always will be. He tells her to take as much time as she needs.

Mia and Frank:

Mia bumps into Frank Hubbard, her baby's father! He's now a doctor there at PVH. OOPS!

Adam:

Again he sets a little thing up to make Liza think she's even more nuts.

Liza and Tad:

She goes to him and tells him she will never let Adam take her daughter. He tells her the surveillance tapes are blank so they can't prove Adam set Liza up.

Edmund:

He goes to Brooke's house, she's gone!

Brooke and "Maria":

Brooke goes to Nevada to find Maureen Gorman and she's in the hospital where Maureen works. She sees someone who looks just like Maria from the back and goes to her, touching her shoulder. The woman turns around and isn't Maria. Brooke apologizes and excuses herself, thinking it was all in her mind...just as Maureen DOES show up. Maureen/Maria looks up at Brooke, looking a little angry but she recognizes her...hmmm.

That's all! Killer ain't it!
