Maria starts the day at Carmen's, upset that her mother sees trouble in the cards. Maria refuses to believe it, insists that everything is wonderful since she and Ben have reunited.

Derek admits that he "took care of" Ben in Seattle and returned in his place. Tess hauls off and slaps him across the face for sleeping with Maria. Derek dismisses her jealousy, reminds her that their plan hinges on Ben and Maria reuniting, and he's just making that happen. Tess insists that Derek impersonating Ben wasn't part of their plan—just as Meg and Maria appear in the doorway—what plan?
