Each character confronts a truth in their life, and each of them commits an action which cannot be undone.

David investigates Kelly's past, unsure of what he’s hoping to find.  Can he assuage his doubts, or will he always fear that she wasn't the woman he thought she was?

An argument with Liam propels Hannah towards Andy, but their unexpected moment of intimacy is interrupted...

Belle's ex-husband Neil walks back into her life and tests her loyalty to Maya, on the night when Maya needs her most.  Gail finally tells Henry her true feelings about their relationship in an explosive confrontation which dissects their marriage from its very beginnings.  Will Gail stay true to her commitment to Henry or will she finally make a decision for herself?
