Julie and Frank are chatting.  Frank nags her about the martinis she's
drinking.  He tries to get her to accept a ride home, but she wants to stay.
He leaves to take his mom home, promising to be back.  He leaves and
Chris returns.  He tells Julie he's heading out to be ready for tomorrow.
She decides that she should also leave so he won't be one up on her the
next day.  He offers to give her a ride, because she's on her bike and it's
supposed to rain.  Mike reminds her that Frank is coming back for her,
but she's leaving with Chris - her good friend.  Frank comes back and is
upset that Mike let her go - since she's had more to drink tonight than any
other time in her life (how does he know?)  At Julie's, she lays on the couch
and discusses her father and how great he is.

Meanwhile, Frank is pacing at his house and gets a beer.  He hears Chris
coming up the stairs - he asks if Julie is okay.  Chris says yes, she just
needed a ride home.  He leaves an irritated Frank.

 Jake tells Danielle that he's throwing her out.  She tries to change his mind.
He says (what Frank should have said to Julie) that she lied to him about
being starving actress, having no one else, coming to PC for him, but he's
supposed to believe that she was telling the truth when she said she loved
him.  He points out the door, and tells her to use it.  She refuses and says
if she goes, Rex will do something terrible to him.  Jake isn't scared.  She
tells him that Rex will frame him for the kidnapping - but Jake tells her that
he was being held at gunpoint at that time.  He tells her to quit blaming Rex
and take personal responsibility.  The phone rings - Danielle gets it - it's
his mom, and she's very upset.  It turns out that an IMS agent, Rex Stanton,
told them they are going to be deported.  Mom admits to Jake that they are
illegal aliens.  Danielle tells him that now he has to be scared of Rex.   Jake
is angry and, showing the stubborn streak present in my Polish family, tells
her that Rex picked on the wrong family.

Rex interrupts the lighthouse crew.  Rex tells them he's getting attached
to his family.  Their talking wakes Serena and she comes out.  Lucy goes
and gets iced tea and stands at the table pouring it.  Rex comes from behind
her and gets a glass, thanking her.  This makes her flash back to the mystery
man grabbing her from behind before the nurses ball to tell her about Serena.
Serena heads to bed and Rex leaves.  Lucy tells the others her impression.
They decide that the three of them are a formidable team and Scott says he'll
do anything to protect Serena.  (Cliffhanger)
