AT THE HOSPITAL: Maria, Carmen, Ricardo, and Antonio spent some much needed quality time together. Maria was happy to be "back." She told Ricardo that she really likes Gabi (much to Carmen's dismay). She couldn't believe Antonio was a Priest and asked him why he converted. Carmen was adamant that Maria will be with Ben, that they love each other, always have, and always will regardless. Maria put her mother in her place, saying that Ben and Meg belong together now, and that she is glad he found someone during her missing years. Visiting hours were over but Maria asked Ricardo to stay a minute. She asked him why he hates Ben so much when they were such good friends. Ricardo replied that he blames Ben for her "death." Maria insisted that Ben did all he could to save her; he was not at fault. Ricardo was still not so sure...

Francesca (who is clueless as to what she is talking about) went along with Annie's accusations. Annie, sensing that Francesca is clueless, asked her a trick question. When Francesca gave the wrong answer, Annie left. Francesca was even more curious as to what the two were hiding and hatched a new plan.
BEN'S HOUSE: Meg packed as Ben walks in. When he questioned why she is leaving she replied that she can only stay if she knows that Ben loves her, and only her. When he didn't answer, she continued to pack. He asked her what he can so to make her stay. She asked him one question... if she asked him to forget about Maria, never think about her, never see her again, could he do that? When he didn't give her the answer she was looking for, she left.
