Tim tells Meg that he tried to tell her that he had found out about Maria, but when he came to tell Ben, Ben made him fall down the stairs, and when he tried to tell Meg, she told him that she wasn't interested in anything that Tim had to say. Meg tries to explain to Tim that they never would have worked out because he has too much emotional baggage about growing up with alcoholic parents, and that he needs to learn that you can't lie and cheat your way into being loved. He promises that he will never lie to or cheat her again. When he finds out that Annie told Maria that she was married to him, Ben tells her how she "drowned" five years ago.
