Cassandra and Mason are still in the park and Mason can't understand
how in the world a portrait of Ted could be there. Julia calls David and
tells him her feelings as the wedding comes closer and Angela walks in.
She is being sarcastic about David's affair with Julia. Warren calls
Lionel from Alaska and tells him that he'll be back today. He asks
Lionel to get Cassy to the newspaper office tonight as he wants to talk
to her. Lionel tells him that Cassy is in San Francisco because she is
marrying Mason. David speculates Angela's attitude about the case. He
can't understand why she still hasn't been approached by Warren's lawyer
for a testimony and he can't understand her intentions. Cassandra and
Mason are at Julia's hotel room and Warren calls. Mason picks up the
phone and they argue. Cassandra grabs it and she tries to stay calm
although she is ready to burst in tears. Suzanne and Katrina talk about
Cruz and Lionel comes. He tells them that Warren is coming back tonight.
Angela comes and he hides it from her to get her nervous. He tries to
learn something from her but Angela sees what he is up to. Cassandra
takes out her wedding dress and Mason comes. She hides it so that they
will have no more bad luck. They start to talk as Cassandra is very
nervous and doesn't feel happy at all with the way they'll marry. She
always dreamed a big ceremony with family and friends but she can't have
it as everybody's opposed to this wedding. Angela has left her
sunglasses at the office so Lionel jumps to the opportunity and goes at
her place. Angela and David talk as if he is not there about his
apparent intentions and David tells him that if he continues to throw
unfounded accusations he will sue him. Mason and Cassy ask Julia to
check the portrait too and Julia confirms that it looks like Ted. Suzanne
calls and leaves a message for Cruz, full of hope. David starts
questioning Angela's involvement in the shooting and he blames her of
being the killer! Warren is back and Katrina and Suzanne are delighted to
see him. Angela comes and they talk. They both need some company so they
make love in the paper's office.

Warren and Angela are half-naked in the office and they talk about their
no commitment deal. Cassandra and Mason call Suzanne and ask her if by any
chance she has painted a portrait of Ted. After she tells them she
hasn't, Mason is sure that Eden is the one who's painted it. Warren
talks with his lawyer, who is determined to clear him, about the case
and they both realise that it's very difficult to prove his innocence.
Mason postpones the wedding once more in order to find Ted. Cassandra
tries to find a way to get married in spite of that but Mason tells her
they'll do it once they find Ted. Julia calls David and tells him that
the wedding was postponed and David tells her that Warren has returned.
Although their views on Warren and Mason are completely different they
somehow seem to connect. Casandra tells Mason that there may be a
symbolisation in the portrait as in the background there is a chinese
building. Dash tells the Raymonds he won't be working for them anymore
and taking a basket full of food he goes to the newspaper's office and
eats with Katrina. He tells her that from now on he will be working more
hours in the hospital. Julia tells Mason and Cassandra that Warren is
back to Santa Barbara and Cassandra is full of questions, supposedly
because she is concerned if he will try anything to stop their wedding
again. Mason points out to her that as far as everyone else is concerned
they already are married so there is no chance that Warren will try
anything. Angela returns home and has a fight with David. Warren's
lawyer comes and starts questioning her involvment in the case. He goes
on and blatantly asks her if she was sleeping with Warren the night of
the shooting. David asks for some time to talk with his wife. Angela
admits on having an affair with Warren and although David is angry and
hurt, he tries to help her by saying that she should be very careful of
what she'll say as the lawyer will probably try to make her look as a
suspect. Suzanne is let down as she feels there is no hope for her and
Cruz. Katrina tells her that it was Eden's wish for them to get together
and that's the reason why she used her personality. Cassandra, Mason
and Julia find the man who sold the painting and ask him for information
about the woman who's painted it. The man doesn't know anything but
tells them that the background is not Singapore or any other exotic
place but Chinatown. They all leave to look for Ted.
1832
Mason, Cassandra and Julia return to the hotel but Mason leaves to
show the seller of the portrait a photo of Eden. Angela and David talk
and she wonders why he continues to support her even though he knows the
truth. David suggests that she admits the truth in public. Warren's
attorney tells her to start talking because she will have to be prepared
to face Mason in court. He stages a trial rehearsal to show her how
rough it will be. C.C and Santana talk about the redecoration of the
study and Rosa comes. She talks to Santana and warns her to stop acting
like the queen of the house because Sophia is still around the corner.
Still, Santana is ready to live her new position in full. Cassandra and
Julia talk and Cassy talks to her about her feelings for Mason. Julia
doubts that she will make Mason happy but doesn't show it to her. In the
trial rehearsal, Angela admits everything but the whole thing inevitably
leads to another fight with David. Rafael asks Rosa out but Rosa plays
hard to get. She throws him out of the house as he gets more and more
persistant, but once he leaves she smiles showing she finds him very
sweet and charming. The dealer identifies Eden and Mason immediately
calls C.C to tell him he's on the track of both Eden and Ted. Santana
and Suzanne talk and while Suzanne admits being in love with Cruz, Mason
calls and tells her that he has a new lead for Eden. Suzanne tells him
that she used to live in Chinatown and maybe Eden is living there too.
Angela makes a last effort to make David change his mind but David
decides to pack his things and move out before the end of the week.

find a tube of paint. Cassandra, alone in the hotel room, is drinking
and looking at her wedding dress tells to herself to be happy. Julia
after David's request asks Mason to stop the investigation for Marilyn's
death as a personal favour. Mason tells her he will but only if she is
willing to give him another chance. Julia tells him to go to hell and
leaves.....

stay. Santana and Rosa fight as Rosa tells her that she is about to make
the same mistakes. Santana blames her that she approved her old affair
with Channing and Rosa admits to that. Santana is determined to claim
her place among the Capwells. She then goes and talks with C.C about his
fight with Sophia. Santana wants to prove to him that he is wrong about
her so she decides to talk to Sophia herself. Lionel finds Sophia at the

In Julia's hotel room, Mason questions Julia about David's
sudden departure. He confesses to her that jealousy wells up in him every
time he sees her with another man. Mason hypothesizes that their apparent
feelings towards each other is the real reason David decided not to stay in
San Francisco. Mason then asks Julia to at least admit that they still
love each other.
In C.C's bedroom, Santana notices C.C observing her and continues her game of seduction. She turns around and acts surprised to see him standing in the doorway.
Warren is asleep in his office and has a nightmare about the trial. Mason is the prosecutor and he accuses Mason of plotting to kill him, trying to stop his wedding to Cassandra and even drags his affair with Cassandra into the list. Angela steps up and says that Warren should have killed Mason when he had the chance. Mason's voice booms in the background "Guilty of Murder!!" as Warren screams for his innocence. He wakes up in a fright and ponders the outcome of his fate.
Julia tries her best to get rid of Mason. He asks her if she thinks that he'll never be truly happy if he marries Cassandra. Julia does not know how to even respond to his question. He rationalizes that Julia wants to see him married just so that he can get a divorce the moment a beautiful woman comes along. Julia retorts that she doesn't know how his mind works and that is the reason their marriage failed. Mason confesses that their marriage ended because he was overwhelmed by their feelings which led him to make stupid mistakes, but he never stopped loving Julia, and that he wanted their marriage vows to last forever. Julia questions his sincerity this time round. Mason vows to make Cassandra happy and that he is truly lucky to have found someone who loves him in spite of all his shortcomings. Julia wishes him well and asks him not to "tempt" her. She confesses that she will always be tempted no matter how angry she is, and that she will always care about him, but not enough for her to marry him. Mason heads for the door, but counters that the reason Julia won't marry him is because she loves him too much. With that, he is out the door with a chuckle, leaving Julia frustrated.
At the Santa Barbara Conscience, Craig visits Katrina to update her on the search for Ted and Eden. He comments on Dash's job interview for the free clinic.

In Mason's room, Cassandra is on edge and snaps at Mason. Julia arrives shortly to inform them that Cruz has mobilized the entire police force to look for Eden. Mason comments that it is so ironic that Eden is trying so desperately to be found, and yet doing her best to stay hidden.

He says that Cassie understands how important this is to him and heads out the door, with Julia and Cassie closely behind.
