Nico sits in an alley playing his guitar but is interrupted by some thugs who take his guitar. The thugs tell Nico that they heard he has been staying at the Santos place and wonders whether he is too good for them now. Nico explains that it is just a job. The thugs then tell him that he should be able to handle things then. When Nico wonders what they are wanting him to do, they tell him that they want him to make sure that the fashion show does not happen. The thugs tell Nico that they are tired of Santos and his richy-rich friends coming around on his turf changing things. Pressing Nico against the wall and banging on Nico's guitar, they are insisting on knowing whether he can handle the problem. Nico doesn't want to get involved, but the thugs threaten to take care of it their way, which would be a whole lot worse. Nico, not wanting them to handle this, tells them that he's got it.

Michelle finally finds out who has been moving her furniture around when she hears noises and comes downstairs with a flashlight. She finds an elderly woman in her room, and she begins to complain about the arrangement of the furniture. Michelle starts to back up calling for Danny to come down. She starts to head upstairs, but when she returns with Danny, the lady is gone. After Michelle tries to explain what happened, she begins to wonder whether Danny thinks she is crazy. Danny tells Michelle that he thinks she was dreaming. In the meantime, Nico comes home in a bad mood. Danny tries to question him about his mood, but Nico doesn't have anything to say. Michelle tells him that it looks like Nico needs to talk and tells Danny to try to talk to him again. Danny walks over to the couch and only gets one word out - Nico - , before he leaves the room. Michelle talks him into chasing after Nico.

Marah runs into Tammy at Company. Tammy was waiting for Joey. Marah tells Tammy that she has feelings for Sandy, but Sandy doesn't feel the same way. After a brief visit, Joey shows up to meet Tammy. Joey is surprised that Tammy isn't mad at him. This is the first time they have seen or talked to each other since they got in trouble. Joey apologizes to her and tells her that she deserves so much better than a dirty old shed, and he invites her to a ball. Before she has a chance to answer, Joey comments about how her Uncle Edmund came through for them, and continues to tell her that Edmund has pulled some fast ones in the past. Tammy tells him to shut up, and tells him that her Uncle Edmund is off limits. Joey apologizes, and Tammy tells him that she is just so tired of her uncle getting a bad rap for something he did in the past. Joey seems to understand since he is having trouble with the bad rap business. After Joey leaves, Marah and Tammy join tables again. By the conversation, Marah begins to wonder whether Tammy has had sex with Joey. Tammy tells her that sometimes she wants to, but other times she wants to wait. Marah tells her not to take things a step further than she wants to. Marah then begins to tell her that when it is the right time, she will know.

At the Beacon, Tammy begins to question Edmund about balls. Edmund seems to think that she should know all there is about balls, but Tammy reminds him that she has never went to a ball with a date, only as a child. Looks like Tammy wants some dancing lessons. Edmund tells Tammy to call Joey and accept his invitation and explains that he will be her dance instructor. Edmund turns some ball music on and asks Tammy for this dance. As Edmund dips Tammy, Cassie walks in surprised to see how well things appear to be going.

Reva finds Sandy breaking into the Lewis safe. Reva begins to preach how her daughter befriended him and her husband hired him, and she refuses to hear any kind of explanation as to why he is stealing from them. Reva begins to wonder whether this was his plan from the beginning. Sandy comments that she isn't much of a psychic and tells her that if he is going down for this, he will take her whole family with him. Reva doesn't quite understand how he could possible threaten her family, but sitting on the desk in between the two of them is a laptop with Jonathan Randall's account. Reva walks around to the other side of the desk and mentions that she is calling Josh. She starts to dial but gets side-tracked when she sees Jonathan's account on the computer screen. Sandy claims that he didn't pull it up, but Reva doesn't believe him. Reva instantly wants to know how he knows her son. Sandy tells Reva that he knows Jonathan from boarding school and claims that Jonathan sent him there to see what his family was really like. Sandy claims that he only wanted a little cash to get back home and would have paid them back. Reva doesn't believe Sandy and then notices a tattoo on Sandy's skin that she envisioned was on her son. Sandy tells her that she is jumping into conclusions. Reva calls Jonathan's adoptive mother. Reva asks her when the last time she saw Jonathan was. Since Jonathan is supposed to be in another country at boarding school, it has been a while. She then asks her if Jonathan has a tattoo, and she describes it like the one Sandy has. Sandy is in the background demanding she hang up and tells her to stop being his fairy god mother. Reva remembers when she told Jonathan as a child that she would be his fairy god mother if he wanted her to. Reva begins to get teary eyed and puts her hands on Sandy-Jonathan's cheek. Reva begins to explain how she felt after leaving Jonathan in San Cristobel and tells him that she has always wondered what he was like and whether she made the right choice. She continues to tell him that every year on his birthday, she would walk to the lake and watch the sun set and imagine that her son was on the other side of the lake, and she would blow kisses in hopes that he felt those kisses. Jonathan tells her that he felt the kisses. Reva begins to shake in amazement that he just admitted he was Jonathan. Jonathan explains that his nickname is Sandy from hanging out at the beach. Jonathan begins to get angry with Reva and tells her that he did not have a good life, and his adoptive father was brutal and wonders what kind of selfish person would leave a child to deal with that. Jonathan begins to explain that he didn't have plans on staying, but he became friends with Marah, and then Shayne had an accident. Reva then begins to realize that he was leaving town because his sister fell in love with him. Reva apologizes and tells him that if he can't forgive her, he can take the money, but she really wants him to stay.

At the Santos house, Nico goes to answer the door, but no one is there. All he found was a fashion show flyer that had been spray painted. Nico picks it up and as he begins to head back inside, he runs into Danny; so he had no choice but to show it to him. Danny claims that he is not surprised but was hoping that he wouldn't have to deal with something like this. He continues to explain that the fashion show is bringing jobs and publicity to the area and doesn't understand why everyone wouldn't want to support this. Nico explains that progress in this area scares a lot of people and they worry about their businesses and homes. Danny seems to think that Nico already knew about the disinterest of the fashion show by the Fifth Street residents. Nico admits that he ran into some people who want him to side with them in stopping the fashion show. Nico tells him that he wouldn't help and the flyer was their way of letting him know that they are handling it anyways. Danny wants names, but Nico tells him that he is not a nark, and these people took him in when he had nobody. Danny wants to know names in order to trust Nico and to know what side he is really on. Danny tells him that he has to tell him and stop letting these people run his life and do what is right. Danny tells Nico that his parents died because people kept quiet and looked the other way.

When Danny explains his situation with Michelle, Nico reminds him that he had his mind on a prize, but he has nothing; and when his stay is over with him and Michelle, no one will trust him. Danny tells him that he has a way for him to help without betraying these guys. Nico agrees to give it a shot.

Marah gets defensive but her conversation is interrupted with the woman when she hears Remy coming back. She turns her back on the woman and begins to explain to Remy that she is glad he is back because of this woman who . . . guess what? Isn't there anymore.

Marah had been expecting him at the site. Jonathan tells her that he will be there, he's just running late. Marah asks him to stop at the museum to pick up her portfolio for her. After he hangs up, he tells Reva that he will stay under two conditions. 1. He wants to tell Marah himself that he is her brother. and 2. He wants to wait until after the fashion show because he doesn't want to spoil the most important night of her life. He feels that if he can't make things right between him and Marah, then he can't make anything right here. Once Jonathan leaves, he goes straight to the museum.

At the museum, Jonathan finds Shayne in a deep sleep and begins to talk to him like a good friend, someone he could use in his life, a brother. Moments later, Josh arrives which wakes Shayne up.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey and Beth have a sexy encounter backstage. During the show, a couple of near disasters are averted -- Marah having to don one of her own dresses at the last minute, Alexandra being convinced not to chicken out wearing a particularly outré outfit -- but otherwise the night is a spectacular success, and that includes worries about security, which Danny, Gus, Harley and Nico have taken care of.
