Carolee talks with Toni, who tells her about Billy's visit and his concerns. Carolee insists that Toni is misreading the situation after Toni takes responsibility for the problems between Carolee and Dan because Dan is upset by Toni's presence. When Toni decides to speak with Dan herself, Carolee is emphatic that she not. Mike stops by Martha's house with ice cream for Toni. Matt finally tells Maggie that Nick has ended their friendship. Now that his head is together, Mike declares his love to Toni. She replies that she thinks she loves him, too, though she's not a girl who commits herself easily. After Toni informs Mike of Matt's decision to end the lithium project, Mike starts to rush off to confront his father, but he stops himself from impulsive behavior.
