Abigail starts to leave and Chris asks her to stay. She asks him if that was another lie to try to win her over. Chris denies this and tries to tell his side of the story and that she didn't even use her real name and maybe if she did, he would have known who she was. She tells him that she told one little lie and now he thinks that all the lies that he told her is the same. She tells him to just leave her alone, she doesn't want to see him anymore.

She hands him the necklace and says that she was going to bury it, but he paid money for it, so he can have it back. He takes the necklace. He says that he has something that belongs to her and digs the horse charm out of his pants pocket. She shakes her head that she doesn't want it. Chris puts the two items together and says that they should be buried together. He lays them down along with the air freshener from his cab and puts the brick on top of them.

The lady that was behind Abigail comes over and says that she has missed her flight. Abigail apologizes for taking up time at the counter. The lady asks her if she would like to share a taxi to Manhattan. Abigail says sure but she has to warn her, she doesn't have the best of luck with cab drivers. The two leave and go to a diner to have dinner. At the end of their dinner, Abigail tells the lady that she will pick up the tab because the lady has made her first day in New York less scary. The lady tells her that she is nice for doing that and she says that she needs to call her office and will be right back. After the lady walks away, she does not go to the phone, she runs out of the diner. Abigail asks the waitress for the check and she opens her purse to get her wallet. She starts to frantically dig in her purse and the waitress asks if something is wrong? Abigail tells her that her wallet is missing. She asks the waitress where the phone is and the waitress points to it on the wall. There is no lady to be found. Abigail asks the waitress if the lady that was having dinner with her went to the restroom. The waitress has no idea where the lady went.

Ben refuses to go along with Denise's scheme, explaining that they need time to decide their future. Denise is disappointed when he insists that their getting married won't solve the problems they've been having. She later collapses in Camille's arms and tells her John is out to ruin her life.

Abigail's Good Samaritan follows her into the coffee shop and irks her when he says she's too trusting. Hal convinces a still-wary Barbara to let Jennifer follow her dream.

Katie is warming up for the news at the anchor desk, when Chris arrives at WOAK. He asks her if there have been any new developments in finding out who shot those photos of him and Molly.

Barbara tells her to calm down, and lets her know how anxious she is to show her around New York. Meanwhile in New York, the waitress at the coffee shop that Abigail is holding up in wakes her up, and tells her that unless she orders something else than hot water, she is going to be kicked out of the restaurant. Back at Barbara's, Will comes downstairs and says he doesn't feel good. Jennifer thinks he is faking because he doesn't want them to go to New York.

Bob enters the kitchen, and Kim tells him that John is taking Denise to court that afternoon. Bob tells Denise that is must be really trying for her, considering that she has just called off her wedding to Ben. Kim is upset that Denise did not tell her that important piece of information, and doesn't know if she can trust Denise to be honest with her at all times. Denise begs Kim to go to court, but Bob says that he thinks they should stay neutral on this subject. Kim agrees, saying that she can't go to court and vouch for Denise, when Denise cannot always be honest with her. Denise realizes that the only person she can count on in Andy.

Chris doesn't want to do it, until he realizes the fare is Jennifer and she is going to the airport.

Bryant and Abigail discuss the reason why she is in this mess in the first place. Abby doesn't reveal any information, but Bryant is able to figure out her story pretty closely. Abby tells him that her life is looking up, because she has a friend who is coming to help her out, and bring her some money. Bryant snaps her back to reality, by telling her that it takes a lot of money to get a place in New York, so she better be prepared to learn to live on the streets for awhile. She freaks out when she sees a big bug on the floor, but Bryant calmly picks it up, and offers it to her to eat as a good source of protein. Abby is thoroughly grossed out, tells Bryant that he is out of his mind, and runs out.

Kim tells her that even though she appreciates Katie's concern for Chris, this is a battle he needs to fight on his own. Jennifer gets the meeting place address from Abby, and writes it down on a pad of paper. As they finish their conversation, Chris comes in and feigns that his CB is not working and he needs to use the phone to get in touch with his dispatcher. When Jennifer leaves to go out to the cab, Chris takes a pencil and rubs it over the pad of paper. The paper reveals that it was Abby that Jenn was talking to, and they are meeting in New York.

The judge is ready to declare that Denise has forfeited her right to a hearing when Andy stands up and requests a postponement. When Kim has to step between Andy and John the judge agrees to delay the start of the hearing for 3 hours. Abigail avers that the best thing about New York is that there's no Chris Hughes there.

When Jennifer leaves for a photo shoot Abigail crawls into bed. Kim talks John out of calling the police--let Andy find Denise, she argues. Lily is nonplussed to learn the Australian man is actually an architect. When she hears from Lucinda that the contractor is unavailable, Lily demands to know who he is. He introduces himself as Simon and explains he saw her notice in the paper--he's there to pick up his letters.

Lily apologizes for having read them when she reveals she thought he'd be much older and asks for proof that he's the rightful owner. Simon explains the letters were written by his great-grandfather to a woman identified only as "My Beloved." Lily is intrigued when he hints it's a tragic story, that the woman was not his great-grandmother, and asks him to tell her more.

Chris hovers over Abigail as she sleeps and decides she needs her space but promises to stay around as her "guardian angel." He places a daisy on her pillow before slipping out.
