While exercising Ricardo's legs, Michael is surprised to see how much stronger his patient's calf muscles have become. Gabi and Antonio are flustered when a new officer at the precinct house assumes they are a couple. A suspicious Maria continues to give "Ben" the cold shoulder. Meanwhile, Tess grows increasingly jumpy as she hears Tim's voice whispering accusations at her from every corner of the room. Ricardo convinces Michael he's not even close to walking again. Later, Ricardo tells his physical therapist how Gabi insisted on taking out a million dollar insurance policy on his life. After her scream brings Maria, Derek and Benjy on the run, Tess claims she just had a bad dream. Later, out of Maria's earshot, Derek orders a trembling Tess to pull herself together or else. Ricardo has a hairstylist give him a cut which closely resembles Antonio's. Afterwards, Ricardo dons the clerical clothes and collar he stole from the rectory. Maria confronts "Ben" with the accusations hurled by Meg.
