Tom and Margo attend Shannon's Halloween party at the castle. The next morning, Margo finds a half-dressed Tom hanging a mobile for the baby in the closet they are converting into a nursery. They talk about the baby and the election that day. Margo then heads to the station where Hal tells her about the skeleton found in the moat of Duncan's castle. It belongs to Lucky Dolan, a cohort of the Falcon. Meanwhile, Tom meets Joe Bailey at the meeting at the capitol and learns that he is there by special request of the man who will speak at the meeting, an Interpol agent known only as Agent M. As the meeting starts, Tom is surprised to discover that Agent M is none other than his mother's beau, Earl Mitchell. |

Meanwhile, Tom learns a lot about the case from Earl who's been on the trail of the Falcon for several years.

On a dark, rainy night, Margo warns amateur sleuth Lisa to stay away from the castle, but is unable to stop Barbara from heading out there. Tom convinces Earl to let him warn Margo that there are explosives beneath the castle. Realizing that Barbara could be in danger, she grabs Brian and they head out to the island in his boat. Along the way they discuss the irony of rescuing Barbara after everything she's put them both through. They arrive just after Hensley Taggert is shot after trying to rape Barbara. Brian runs to check on Beatrice while Margo heads into the tunnels (flashlight and gun in hand) after Taggert after hearing the full story. Left alone again, Barbara is approached by a mysterious stranger in a monk's robe. He says "hello Barbara" and we see that it is James Stenbeck. |

Lyla is worried that Tom and Margo aren't letting their feelings about losing the baby out. She is correct as both work hard to protect the other from their feelings of grief and guilt and instead put on a happy face. Margo focuses on January when Tom will be DA and she will be back at work and Hughes and Hughes, crusaders for justice, will be on the job together. After Tom leaves her room, Margo breaks down. Outside the room, Tom collapses in grief in Craig's arms. He opens up to Craig saying that he thought losing the first baby was the hardest thing he'd ever been through, but this is worse after all the months of planning and expecting the baby. Dr. Samuels suggests that he and Margo see Dr. Micheals. While Tom thinks that would be a good idea for Margo, he insists that he is doing just fine. James stops by with his condolences, but Tom lays into him, blaming him for the loss of their first baby. Tom finds it ironic that after all of the evil James has done, he has a son. Margo opens up to Craig. She tries to pretend it is better that she isn't a mother, that she'd be a lousy one anyway, but her laughter quickly turns to tears and she breaks down in his arms. Later, Dr. Samuels tells Tom that Margo may never be able to carry a baby to term. |

They report that as Margo drifted off she said that next time they would have triplets and be right back on schedule. Tom heads to Bob and Kim's where he sees babies (Chris and Dani) everywhere he turns. Tom tells Kim the bad news and wonders how he will tell Tom. When she calls, he pretends like nothing is wrong.

She tells her mother that she and Tom are adults and they will deal with the situation in their own way. Tom and Margo cuddle on the sofa and make plans to start going to the gym when she gets home.

Earl identifies the coin as a Scottish ruckel while Margo wonders questions Jester's suicide, thinks it is abit too neat. Lyla and Tom put an end to the cop talk. Earl confides in Tom that the Falcon has closed up shop but he, like Margo, doesn't believe that Taggert was the Falcon. He suspects either Duncan or James. Margo interrupts and thinks Earl should leave the detective work to the pros. Margo again starts going over the case and Lyla asks Tom to put an end to it. He says this usually works and starts nuzzling her neck. It works. Later, John drops by and worries with Lyla about their daughter. He suggests to Margo that she see Dr. Michaels, but Margo doesn't think she needs a shrink. Bob is the next concerned party to drop by. Just back from Europe, he wonders about Margo's plans to go back to work soon. When he departs, Margo snaps when Lyla once again shows her concern, while on the porch Bob tries to get Tom to face up to what they lost. Tom would rather focus on what he and Margo still have. He finally admits to Bob that he feels responsible for what happened and that he's trying to protect Margo from having to feel his pain as well as her own. He eventually breaks down in Bob's arms. When Bob tells Lisa what happened, she hopes that it will help him be honest with Margo, too. But they realize that Tom and Margo probably chose to stay at Lyla's because all of the comings and goings would mean they would never be alone and never able to talk. Tom and Margo do find some quiet time as they bed down in Lyla's living room, but Lyla is disappointed as she hears them discussing cooking lessons and the fact that they don't want to change anything in their lives. When Margo does ask Tom what he talked about with Bob, he lies and says us and how having each other is the most important thing in the long run anyway. |
