Will tries to take over for Barbara. He takes phone calls and messages for her. She finally wakes up. Lily and Kim arrive with a lovely bouquet of flowers. They are from Lucinda! In a rage, Barbara knocks them to the floor! Lily apologizes for the flowers as Will and Gwen begin cleaning up the mess. Kim consoles Barbara, telling her that they need to have a memorial service to honor Paul and allow them all to move on. Gwen and Will agree but Barbara isn't sure. The couple leaves to get other clothes but Kim stays with Barbara. Outside, Lily apologizes to Will and Gwen again for Lucinda's flowers. She tells them that Jade has left town, surprising them. Gwen and Will leave. Lily goes inside. Kim is trying to nail down a list for the service but Barbara isn't sure who to invite. She can't concentrate on much of anything except Paul. Lily leaves.
At home, Will and Gwen talk about their friends, both quietly mourning the loss of Paul. Gwen begins to feel sick, worrying Will. She tells him it's just stress or a bug but he worries anyway. Will calls Barbara to decline going to the memorial. Gwen takes the phone, telling Will that they need to be with his family now. He doesn't like the idea but goes along with her. They take a recent picture of Paul to Barbara's. She loves it. Kim and Lily come out, asking about food and coffee. Guests begin to arrive. Meg is first to arrive, with Craig. Barbara can't belive it!
Glad to be home without Cleo, Gwen asks Will if they can just stay in their house - alone! - forever. He would like to but tells her he has to go because Barbara's been leaving messages for him for days. Gwen hugs him tightly. He kisses her. They are interrupted by Jade. She asks to come in and Gwen invites her inside. Jade surprises them both by apologizing and thanking them for telling the police about Cleo so she wouldn't get in even more trouble. She tells them how great they have it and apologizes for all the trouble she has caused. Gwen and Will are stunned. Jade leaves.
Will and Gwen arrive at Barbara's but hesitate before going in. Barbara comes to the door and wraps Will in a hug. She tells him about Paul's accident, stunning Will. Barbara tells him about the accident, reliving it moment by moment. Will holds her hand as they talk and Barbara asks them if they will stay with her for a while. Gwen promises they will stay. Will gets Barbara to go and rest. When they are alone Will breaks down a little, wondering what has happened to his family. Gwen comforts him, promising to stand by him and his family through the ordeal.
Maddie falls along the trail, twisting her ankle badly. Frantic, Will helps her stand and they continue down the trail. They get to the theatre and find Luke. He gets Noah and they call the cops. Will hears the music and realizes Gwen is distracted. He goes inside as the CD begins to skip. Maddie, Luke and Noah join them and they all realize it is really Cleo on stage! She sees them and runs off stage. Will follows. Cleo gets to the gate but it's locked! Will catches up and demands she tell him where Gwen is. Cleo tells Will and Gwen will be fine but she won't - because he broke her heart! She tells Will that she is impersonating Gwen because she doesn't want to be arrested. Luke approaches them. Cleo still won't tell them where she took Gwen. "I can be just like her," Cleo whispers. Will asks her to love him enough to tell him where Gwen is.
Gwen and Jade are fighting the ropes, trying to get free as the train gets closer and closer. Gwen realizes the train horn isn't as loud as before and they realize it's going a different direction. Instead of feeling relived, Gwen is more worried because another train could come along at any second. Jade suggests they begin trying to free only one of them; Gwen agrees, as long as they free her first. She doesn't trust Jade to stick around to help her! When she realizes that there is only one knot left in Jade's bonds, though, Gwen decides to free the other girl first. Another train approaches and they hurry to free Jade. They finally get her arms free and Jade unties Gwen's arms. They both begin working on their ankle bonds; Jade gets free first but they can't get Gwen's knots undone. Jade runs off, telling Gwen she'll be right back. She returns because she couldn't find a signal to stop the train. The girls realize the train is getting closer this time. They hear Will yelling for them and Gwen begins hollering back at him. Jade runs to direct him to the tracks and Will takes off. He has a pocketknife and cuts her loose as the train rounds the bend! They clear the tracks as the train rushes past.
Will, Gwen and Jade arrive back at the theatre as the show ends. Andy Williams introduces her and she takes the stage. The audience loves her and she begins to sing. Andy Williams comes back on stage and asks Gwen to sing a duet with him! They begin to sing "What the World Needs Now Is Love". Backstage the police haul Cleo off in handcuffs. Jade walks in and Luke hugs her, glad she is safe. Will takes a giant bouquet of flowers to Gwen on stage. From the corner, Gwen watches Cleo being taken away.
Along the nature trail, Cleo ties an unconscious Will to a downed tree, apologizing to him for how far she is going but sure that he will understand once they are together permanently. She tells him she'll take care of Gwen so they won't be bothered ever again. "I'll come back to you, my sweet," she says, kissing his cheek. She takes the gnome and leaves Will tied up. His cell phone starts ringing, waking him up, but he can't get to it in time. He fights against the ropes to get the phone open. He can't get the ropes undone and begins yelling for help. Maddie comes running from the trail and helps him get free. She asks where Cleo was headed but Will doesn't know. He is dizzy but insists on leaving right then. He heads back to the trail and Maddie follows.
Cleo and Will run into an engaged couple considering the Wilderness Church for their wedding. The couple leaves. Cleo asks Will if he would like to be married at the same church; he doesn't understand where she is going with it and tells her that he already had the perfect wedding with Gwen. Gwen calls and asks Will to meet her before the show. He agrees. Will leaves the park, in a hurry. Cleo reluctantly follows. In her hotel room, Gwen finds out she is expected to attend a reception and won't have time for Will! She is upset but goes to change. Will walks in, hearing the reporter tell Gwen what a huge star she is going to be. Will agrees, telling Gwen that she will be a huge star. She tells him about the Titanic gig and asks him to come with. He declines. Cleo likes the idea, though. Still, Will doesn't want to go. Cleo volunteers to stay with him. Gwen notices Cleo's garden gnome and Cleo tells her it is for luck. The reporter interrupts them, taking Gwen away to the meet and greet. Before he can leave, too, Cleo asks him to come with her for a surprise! She takes him into a wooded area and asks him to look at the beauty in front of him - her! Will doesn't get it and tries to go back to the hotel. Cleo cons him into staying with her. They sit down and Cleo moves closer. She asks him to help her name the gnome and comes up with Bashful. Will begins to get nervous when Cleo gets even closer to him. She tries to kiss him and Will holds her back. "It's okay because I love you," she says, still trying to kiss him! Will is stunned and tries to set Cleo straight. Cleo is too far gone to listen to him, though. She suggests that he leave Gwen for her because she is the better woman. Will gets mad and tells her that he is completely in love with Gwen and she can't change that. Cleo gets nervous because Will is so adamant. As she talks, Will recognizes some of the things she says as what Jade read in the diary. He realizes that Cleo was behind the accident and calls her a lunatic! He says he is going to the cops to turn her in! Cleo swears that she stayed with him to make sure he was okay after the accident but Will doesn't care. She reminds him of all the things he has done for her - buying her sodas and the gnome - and is crushed when Will says those things didn't mean anything to him! Cleo begins arguing with Will, explaining that she is a better partner than Gwen. Will walks away, angering Cleo. She runs after him and clonks him on the head with the gnome. "Now look what you made Bashful do," she says.
Gwen, Will, Noah, Maddie and Cleo arrive in Branson. Noah is taping the whole thing. Cleo gets a little giddy in front of the camera, but turns serious and says Branson will change all of their lives! Maddie talks a little bit but quickly grows tired of the camera; Cleo doesn't. One taste of the camera and she wants more! She begins hogging the spotlight. A few fans come by and ask for Gwens autograph. Cleo asks Will if he'll go upstairs with her to unpack but he turns her down. Gwen's fans leave and she and Will head inside to have some alone town. Cleo watches them. She goes upstairs and begins unpacking. She pulls a sexy nightie from the bag, remembering Gwen asking her to do anything she can to keep Will busy. In her imagination, Will comes out of the bathroom wearing only a towel. He carries her to the bed and kisses her. Cleo snaps out of the daydream when Will and Gwen walk in, surprised to see her in their room. "I thought it would save money to bunk up with you guys," Cleo says! Will and Gwen are a little stunned and tell her it won't work. They suggest Cleo bunk with Maddie and Noah. Cleo is crushed. When Will and Gwen turn to leave Cleo shows her the fruit basket left by the hotel. Gwen doesn't really care. She and Will leave quickly. Alone, Cleo begins packing Gwen's things. She takes a bite of fruit and then throws it against the wall. Noah and Maddie walk in, concerned that Cleo doesn't want them there. She covers but Maddie is catching on that Cleo wants more than they know. Noah tells them they're wanted at the theater, which will cut Gwen and Will's alone time, making Cleo happy. Cleo brings a few different changes of clothes for Gwen to try. She asks Will to help her track down Gwen's favorite lozenges but he turns her down. Cleo leaves. A few minutes later, Andy Williams arrives to welcome Gwen to the show! Gwen and a stage hand begin scoping out the stage. Noah and Maddie are in the background waving at her. Cleo and Will are sitting together in the audience. One of the reporters asks Andy when he can have a one-on-one with Gwen. On stage, the music begins and Gwen begins to sing. In the audience, Cleo clasps Will's hand! After the song, Andy tells Gwen what a great job she did and tells her she'll be great that evening. Will and Cleo talk about Gwen's star power. The reporter approaches Gwen for an interview but before they can really talk, Gwen is pulled away. A few minutes later, Gwen has time to meet with the reporter and they begin the interview. He compliments her on her singing and asks about the future. Cleo and Will walk in and Cleo tries to put some distance between Will and Gwen. It doesn't work. Will joins Gwen and asks her to lunch but the reporter puts the kibash on that - he needs to finish the interview. Cleo offers to help her with wardrobe options. Will asks Cleo to leave. Alone, Will tells Gwen to take things slowly and offers to get lost so she can have a bit more breathing room. Outside, Cleo is writing in a new journal. Will calls her and she throws the pages in the trash. He invites her on a sightseeing tour of Branson - just the two of them! They leave. The interview continues and the reporter asks Gwen why he's never heard of her before. When Gwen's cell rings again, he keeps her from answering it!
