It's an emotional day for father and son as Shayne prepares for his final baseball game as an amateur. Josh gives Shayne Reva's letter, and they share a heart to heart. Shayne admits he's in love with Marina and asks if Josh sees her as a distraction. Josh says if it's right, Marina won't be a distraction; she'll be part of Shayne's big plan. Later, Shayne wonders what's keeping Marina. Edmund strolls through the lobby of the Beacon sporting a radical new look: jeans, sneakers, and baseball cap. Jeffrey spots him and bursts out laughing. Edmund explains that he's going to the game. Everybody in town is talking about the big game, including the Coopers. In pain and frightened, Ben calls Marina. Feeling sorry for him, she rushes over. Later, when Marina realizes he manipulated her into coming to visit, Ben declares she is the only one he wants. Meanwhile, Cassie is curious about Tammy's date, Joey Lupo. At the Beacon, Alexandra recognizes Jeffrey from somewhere but can't place it. She is horrified when Jeffrey hints he is considering reopening the stalker case.

At the game, tipped off by Ben, Lizzie "innocently" lets Shayne know that Marina is at the hospital visiting Ben. Meanwhile, Jeffrey accuses Cassie of being a bad mom by not meeting Tammy's juvenile delinquent date. Tammy wants Cassie to give Joey a chance. The game is about to begin.

Wary of Tammy's date Joey, Cassie makes a call to another mother to check him out. Cassie isn't thrilled that Joey is meeting Tammy at the after-party.

But Edmund makes it clear that Joey had better be a good boy, and they are able to go on their date. Later, Cassie and Edmund gaze at the stars. Frank wants Darci to steer clear of Eden.
