Monday, June 18th:
Julie Whitmore describes a sexy dream to her fiancée Ivan Carlisle and we learn they haven't had sex yet, because she was almost raped in college. But all that will change after their wedding the next day. At the Carlisle family video game business, Spyder Games, Natalia Carlisle is trying to get her father, Boris Carlisle, to approve her idea. He's extremely aloof until his oldest son, Dmitri, arrives. Later at Spyder Games, an old friend of Dmitri's, Francisco Torres, sneaks into Boris' office after hours and logs on to his computer. But Natalia finds and confronts him. He explains he's just looking for Dmitri, and as they talk, there's definite chemisty going on. Meanwhile, Cherish Pardee, Daphne Wallace, and Taylor Jones are at Come-Ons Boutique. The store is in bad shape physically, and Daphne learns that Boris Carlisle owns the building. When Sasha Carlisle is arrested for unpaid parking tickets, Boris and Dmitri arrive at the police station to bail him out. Lt. Pardee--Cherish's father--is outraged that Sasha's parental influence is so lax. Cherish is devastated when her father forbids her from attending the Carlisle wedding as Sasha's date. Sasha shows up later at Come-Ons, where he and Taylor kiss passionately. They've kept the affair quiet because he's 16 and she's 23. At Ivan's bachelor party, Boris makes a speech and toasts Dmitri instead of Ivan, which causes Ivan to leave in a huff. Boris gets on the phone and tells someone not to be late, then leaves mysteriously. At the end of the night, we see a black Mercedes, then hear sickening thuds and see blood splatter onto the windshield. Was someone just killed?

Tuesday, June 19th:
It's wedding day for Julie and Ivan. Everyone is worried, however, because Boris is missing. Meanwhile at Come-Ons, business is hurting due to the building's conditions. Daphne wants to confront Boris, so she, Cherish, and Taylor decide to sneak into the wedding reception. Back at the church, Ivan is upset that his dad is blowing off his wedding, but they start the ceremony without him. At the reception, Daphne is caught by the security guard. Dmitri comes to her rescue but doesn't reveal who he is. He baits Daphne to reveal her true feelings about Boris and the rich Carlisle family. Sasha and Taylor pretend not to know each other, but meet up in the maid's closet for some hot sex. Cherish almost walks in on them, but turns away when she sees her father walk in. What's he doing there? Cherish and Daphne make a hasty exit, and Daphne is floored when Cherish reveals Dmitri's identity. Meanwhile, Natalia and Francisco are about to kiss when they're interrupted. Julie and Ivan leave the reception to have sex, but before they can do the deed, Dmitri interrupts with horrific news: Boris is dead. Lt. Pardee tells everyone that Boris was found dead in his car, having driven off an embankment. The police think it's a clear-cut DUI, but Dmitri doesn't think it was an accident. When he finds a Moby CD case in the car, Dmitri is certain someone else was there--he knows his dad would never listen to Moby. He gets on the phone and tells someone to help investigate, while Francisco eavesdrops. Natalia pretends to be upset by the death, but when she views Boris' body alone at the coroner's, she smiles wickedly and says, "I hope it hurt."

Wednesday, June 20th:
The morning after the wedding and discovery of Boris's body, the reporters are all over the story. Not wanting to be alone, Sasha slept at Taylor's the previous night, and suggests that he should move in. Taylor gently lets him down, saying it wouldn't work because of the age difference. When Francisco learns of Boris's death, he has a flashback of dealings he had with Boris. It's unclear what business they had, but it was obviously something Francisco didn't want to do. Meanwhile, Cherish's Hispanic friend, Rocio, arrives to take Cherish to school. Cherish wants to stay and comfort Sasha. Rocio is worried, knowing how much Lt. Pardee hates Sasha and the entire Carlisle family. Back at Taylor and Daphne's, Sasha hops in the shower just as Daphne walks into Taylor's bedroom, just missing seeing him. Not knowing of Boris' death, Daphne tells Taylor about her meeting with Dmitri, then says she's going to stop by the house and apologize. Before Taylor can tell Daphne what happened to Boris, she leaves. Moments later, Cherish stops by while Sasha is in the bedroom, and Taylor throws a towel-clad Sasha and his balled-up clothes onto the fire escape. Daphne comes back in and Cherish tells Daphne about Boris. Daphne feels horrible and thinks Dmitri will never want to see her again. Back at the mansion, Dmitri tells Francisco that he must find out what really happened. Francisco gently tries to dissuade him from digging too deep. Later on, Julie breaks down to Natalia because she can't find Ivan: He went out for air last night after hearing the news and never came back. We discover Ivan's been at Boris' office drinking. Later, Natalia shows up and urges him to go home to his wife. But he can't go home and says to himself, pained, "What have I done?" What is his dark secret? Meanwhile, Natalia wants to talk to Ben Raymond, Boris's lawyer, about her father's will. Back at the house, Julie sees Dmitri fingering the Moby CD case, and asks if it's Ivan's--she noticed his copy was missing. Dmitri is starting to suspect Ivan.

Thursday, June 21st:
Sasha comes home, and Dmitri demands to know where he's been. Sasha tells Dmitri he doesn't owe him any answers. At the boutique, Taylor circles a picture of Dmitri in the paper, showing us she's got designs on the eldest Carlisle boy. Daphne tells Taylor she wants to apologize to Dmitri, but Taylor convinces her to let things cool off. Taylor calls Sasha, who asks her to go to the funeral with him tomorrow, but Taylor turns him down. Moments later, Cherish shows up to comfort Sasha. He asks her to accompany him to the funeral, much to her delight. Meanwhile, Julie is extremely relieved when Ivan returns. But she's still upset that he never called, and he tells her he was out driving around. She asks if he wants to start their marriage by keeping secrets from each other, and he apologizes. At Spyder Games, Natalia arranges a meeting with Ben Raymond, Boris's lawyer, to learn the contents of her father's will. Francisco stops by, and Natalia is forced to downplay the meeting, saying she'll meet Francisco another time. When Ben shows up, Natalia asks him to read the eulogy at their father's funeral. Expertly reading Natalia's real motives for the meeting, he implies she's getting short-changed in the will, and that he and Natalia can go over the details at his lake house later. She agrees to meet him. Later, Taylor "runs into" Dmitri at the gym, where she shamelessly flirts with him. But Daphne is the woman in his sights. At the funeral, the Carlisle clan is present, plus Julie, Francisco, Merna and Ben. Ben starts his eulogy and begins to think about Natalia and what's coming up at their meeting later. It's too much for Ben, and he collapses. Is he dead?

Friday, June 22nd:
After the funeral back at the house, Sasha can't believe Ben just had a massive stroke. This puts off the reading of the will, so Dmitri says he's extending his stay in Fort Kent, much to Natalia's chagrin. Sasha and Dmitri are still at odds too. Natalia is worried about the will now that Ben is out of commission. We see Francisco try to slip into Boris' study, but he's thwarted by Julie's presence. What's he looking for? Later, Dmitri asks Francisco to keep an eye on his sister--he doesn't trust her. Dmitri is also suspicious of Ivan's behavior. Ivan denies anything is wrong, saying he just needs time. Julie confides in her friend, Ashley, that she and Ivan haven't had sex yet. Meanwhile, Ivan is looking into a one-way flight out of the country. Before he can book the ticket, Francisco stops in for a chat, and Ivan confides that he's not sorry Boris is dead. Dmitri, on the phone with Bernice from Fish River Properties, describes to her the woman he's looking for. Bernice thinks it's Daphne from Come-Ons Boutique. Later, Bernice stops into the boutique and Daphne says she won't pay anymore rent until she's reimbursed for repairs. It's obvious that the business isn't doing well--Daphne is broke. Bernice tells Taylor she thinks Dmitri will stop by the boutique, and Taylor pays for a spa treatment for Daphne to get her out of the store. Taylor then gets dolled up for Dmitri. Unfortunately for Taylor, Daphne, looking gorgeous, shows up shortly after Dmitri arrives. At the office, Natalia is with her assistant Todd. Todd is a genius with game design and secretly worships Natalia. She explains to him she's got to get her hands on that will and see what's inside. Natalia goes to the law firm and meets another lawyer, Cecil Donohue. Later, Julie, taking Ashley's advice, joins Ivan in the shower, and they make out. But he's fantasizing about someone else…Francisco! We now know why Ivan isn't happy in his new marriage. He's gay!
