Plot Overview

Billy Joe complains to Justin about the crazy schedule he has for Ace High. Ashley isn't happy to learn from Paige that T.J. discussed her finances with Paige. Adams tells Hannibal that he has lost Renquist. While Miles is holding a gun on Ruby, Lurlene sneaks up and knocks him out and then is afraid she killed him. Justin convinces Billy Joe that eventually he will reap the rewards of working hard now once the Marshall Miracle race car is in action. Ashley tells Paige she can't diversify her portfolio. Ruby and Lurlene hide Miles in the kitchen when Gretchen arrives. Paige tells Nita that after Dennis she didn't know if she could give herself to a man again but with T.J. it is so easy to because he is comfortable. Ruby tells Gretchen she and Lurlene dropped a vase and then rushes her out of the apartment. Allison tells Justin that she has Reena's trust after introducing her to Martha Austere and Justin thinks he will be getting her oil leases. Ruby and Lurlene put Miles in a laundry basket. Ashley gets mad at T.J. for telling Paige about her personal affairs. As Ruby and Lurlene are about to get on the elevator with the basket they run into a man getting off the elevator. Justin is in shock when he realizes that Allison made the deal with Mrs. Austere for Reena. Ruby and Lurlene dump Miles out in the alley and then pour bourbon on him and leave. Paige tells T.J. the next time he needs a sounding board about the Marshall affairs to find somebody else. Justin tells Ashley that Allison introduced Mrs. Austere to Reena and they made a deal. Someone breaks into Ruby and Lurlene's apartment and looks in the trunk but it is empty. Ruby and Lurlene load Beau into the back of the pickup and then decide to head out to the old Arroyo near Marshall Village. Ashley is surprised Allison would help World Oil instead of the family and tells Justin that she will get to the bottom of it. The police find Miles and the gun on him and take him in. Ruby gets upset with Lurlene for driving like a maniac on the old Arroyo road. Ashley and Allison argue over Allison's loyalty being with World Oil instead of the family. Billy Joe is bothered by the fact that Nita is spending so much time designing and wanting eat at Maggie's instead of being a wife and mother. Hannibal calls Ashley and mentions seeing Gregory and Ashley tells him to stay away from Gregory but Hannibal hangs up. Ruby and Lurlene find a spot to dump Beau and then realize the tailgate is down and Beau is gone.
