Summary: Bonnie confesses to killing David Lockhart, but Mimi thinks there is more to her story…Chelsea starts her new job and makes Nick jealous in the process…Willow allows Shawn and Belle make a daring escape, infuriating Philip in the process.

At the Cop Shop…
Bonnie is in with Roman confessing to killing David Lockhart. Roman comes out and informs Mimi, who is shocked. Roman tells her that Bonnie confessed to everything…saying he was drunk, smelling of perfume and they got into a fight and she killed him with the fireplace poker. Mimi asks about Conner and we learn that he has gone back to the juvey ranch. He tells her that Bonnie is going to be processed and booked for murder. Mimi pleads with Roman but he tells her that her mother needs a good lawyer now…his hands are tied. Mimi asks to talk to her as Roman is going to talk with the DA. Mimi tells Max that she had seen her dad drunk before and knew he cheated, but had never seen him lay a hand on Bonnie. Max tells Mimi he has an idea, but it is a longshot. He asks her about the ring and says that if he did hit her mom, there may be some DNA on it. He goes to find the guy who has the ring and have it tested. After he leaves, Mimi goes to see her mom and demands to know the truth. Bonnie tells Mimi she had no choice but Mimi isn’t buying it. She wants to know why she put the Civil War uniform on him and how she built the brick wall…all by herself. But Bonnie says she has always been the queen of odd jobs. Mimi asks WHY did she go on letting her think her dad was alive as she cries. She tells her that Max is working on something to help and explains, but Bonnie says let it go…she did it…she killed him and she will go to prison where she belongs…for Mimi to just drop it. She explains that she stole the ring when she was working at the hospital and gave it to him as a gift…it is a dead end…forget it. Mimi demands the truth but Bonnie tells her she is guilty and she will get what she deserves. Mimi begs her to tell her what she is hiding, is she protecting someone else? Bonnie yells it’s her…no one else. Roman returns as Bonnie tells him to take her and book her and get it over with. Crying, she tells Mimi she loves her…please understand…as Roman takes her away.

Meanwhile at the Hospital…
Nick is working in the lab as Dr. Reibert comes in, startling Max causing him to break something. Nick swears to him it isn’t a problem that Chelsea will be working there but needs to talk to him about something else. The doctor tells him he may be smart when it comes to math and science, but when it comes to women, the is the dumbest guy in the world. He tells Nick to pay attention and he is going to teach him a few tricks when it comes to women. Nick doesn’t want to hear it, saying if any woman heard the things he was saying, she would be offended. Reibert says he was only trying to help, but Nick doesn’t want his help. On his way out, he tells Nick to try and not break anything else. After he leaves, Max comes by, yet again startling Nick (as he drops something else, lol). He gives Nick the ring and explains what is going on and Nick promises to check it out. He (nervously) asks Nick if he has seen or talked to Abby and asks him to tell her ‘hi’ from him.

At the Java Café…
Abby is there working on her laptop when some guy (Jed) comes over and start talking to her (he is a new guy at school) but Abby isn’t really impressed with him. Chelsea comes bustling in complaining about her Calculus class, is rude to Jed and tells him to leave. She tells Abby, yes the guy is cute, as she gives Abby a hard time…as Jed just stares at Abby. Abby points out that Nick could help her with Calculus…in fact, he would dress up in a wig and dress and take the class for her if she asked him to. She reminds Chelsea that Nick owes her and would do anything to make it up to her, but Chelsea says she wants nothing to do with him and keep him as far away as possible…but plans on making him squirm and plans on using her new boss to do just that. (She refers to Reibert as Dr. McBeautiful). She notices the time and says she has to get to work and rushes off. As Abby is getting ready to leave, Jed comes back over and starts talking. He asks her for a ride to the mall and when she sees his friends watching and laughing, she becomes suspicious and informs him that she is involved with someone else. He tells her he wasn’t trying to hit on her, but she says she knows what kind of games guys play…and he can just go back and tell them that he struck out and leaves.

Back at the Hospital…
After Max leaves, Chelsea shows up for her job and rushes over to Dr. Reibert and starts openly flirting, saying she is eager to learn and is sure she will learn so much from him. She talks about her not doing well in calculus and he offers to help her out. He takes her to show her around the hospital as Nick seethes. Later, they return as she continues to flatter him in front of Nick. He asks her out to dinner and she accepts. As they leave, she glances back over her shoulder at Nick.

Back at the Cop Shop…
Max returns as Mimi tells him that she is sure that Bonnie is hiding something and they have to figure it out before it’s too late. She thinks there is more to her story and that perhaps she is protecting someone else. Max thinks she needs to get out of there for a while, so she suggests they go back to his place. He says he has to go to the garage, he has a pile of work waiting on him. She volunteers to go and help, but he tells her no. She says she will go back to his place and wait on him. After she leaves, he calls Abby, leaving her a message, telling her he will be at the garage if she wants to drop by and say hi.

On the Ship…
Belle is a bundle of nerves as Shawn tries to calm her down. Philip is in the hall watching their door when Officer Stratton comes to take Shawn to the brig. Shawn tells Belle they have to keep it together. He thinks he can distract them while she makes a run with it with Claire. And she asks WHERE will she go…they are on a ship? Stratton tells Philip he is there to take Shawn and orders him to his cabin but Philip refuses. As they knock on the door, Shawn tells Belle he has an idea. They go in and Belle tells Stratton that Philip has been harassing them and that Shawn is in the bathroom with Claire. Philip rushes over and knocks the door down and they wee the air vent cover is off, thinking that Shawn took Claire and crawled through. They rush off to find him as Shawn crawls from under the bed with Claire. After they are gone, Shawn and Belle sneak out with Claire and run into Willow. She tells them that Philip is paying her to help him and reaches for the fire alarm. Up on deck, Philip and Stratton are looking for Shawn and find the officer that Shawn attacked and realizes it was a set up and rush back down. Back downstairs, Shawn and Belle plead with Willow to let them go and she laughs saying GOTCHA! She tells them to go…and she will tell Philip they said goodbye, laughing. Philip and Stratton return and search the room, realizing that they are gone. Shawn, Belle and Claire are up on deck as he tells her that there is only one way off…they have to jump. Philip finds Willow, asking if she has seen them and she tells him that they just left and he blows a gasket, railing at her. Stratton tells him he is going up on deck to look for them as Philip tells Willow he will deal with her later. She laughs, saying she can’t wait and returns to her cabin. Belle tells Shawn they can’t jump, Claire could get hurt, but he swears they will be okay, they have no choice. He tosses their things down to the raft and asks Belle if she is ready as he takes Claire. With a deep breath, they jump…as the previews show…

Marlena (to Kayla): I am talking about the person we need to save from Steve…

Nick (to Chelsea): Why would I do that?...(Chelsea): Like all immature world-class losers…you are also a spiteful jerk…

Philip (to Willow): You have nothing I want…(Willow): I have Shawn’s baby…I owe you Philip…and I always pay back my debts…

Shawn (to Belle, on dry land): Belle, where is she?...(Belle): I don’t know…I lost her!!...

And the credits roll…
