Cassie is still trying to detain Richard who gets by her and through the palace. Richard comes into Reva's room and finds the picture of Jon and puts it in his jacket pocket still thinking it is Shayne.
Beth is still harassing Jim until he spills the whole plan to save Reva from the Prince and about the explosion. He asks her time and time again to go back to the hotel and he would meet up with her as soon as he could but she wouldn't leave. After she was convinced about what Jim was telling her, she wanted to stay and help him. He pulled her by a guard to get her to the exit and dropped the remote device that set off the explosives that made pandemonium break out at the ball. Beth "fell" and retrieved the device. The guard informs Cassie that Princess Catherine has disappeared. Richard is upset and looking for her. Meanwhile Edmund has a gun pointed at Reva. She tried to negotiate with Edmund while she leaves her bracelet behind for Josh to find. Shortly after, Josh finds the bracelet. He and Olivia know they are on her trail.
