Monday, July 16th:
The next day as Sasha sits in the house, waxing nostalgic over his tryst with Taylor, Dmitri shows up and says he's come back to Fort Kent for good. He plans to work at Spyder Games. Sasha matter-of-factly tells him he quit school. Dmitri drags Natalia into the study and asks how she can let their brother quit high school. She says he should follow his dreams, but Dmitri is concerned Sasha will end up some deadbeat trust fund brat. Sasha, having heard all this, walks in and says he's going back to school. He wants them to stop fighting and wants to get Dmitri off his back. Later, Ivan tells Natalia about last night's fiasco with Julie. Ivan told Julie he got sick from food poisoning, but when he starts chowing down at breakfast, Julie accuses him of lying. Plus, the couple ate the same thing last night: chocolate and strawberries. Natalia again comes to Ivan's rescue, saying they catered in bad shrimp salad at work yesterday. Even Todd got sick. Julie is still skeptical. At Daphne and Taylor's apartment, Lyle and Daphne are getting to know each other. Lyle discovers that Taylor lied and told Daphne their father was a dentist and they grew up in Alexandria, Virginia. Lyle says he's spent some time in Paris, trying to be an artist. When Taylor walks in, she nearly explodes. Lyle makes some breakfast as Taylor attempts to discover what Lyle told Daphne. She wants him to leave, but when Lyle shows Taylor the naughty photographs of her and Sasha, she's torn. Lyle says he knows that Sasha is a Carlisle and he wants in on the riches. Taylor slaps him, but we know her hands are tied and she's going to have to let Lyle hang around.

Tuesday, June 26th:
Cherish and her father fight about her relationship with Sasha. Lt. Pardee forbids her from seeing him or hanging out at Euphoria. Sasha invites Taylor to Euphoria for his encore, but when she stops by, Dmitri and Daphne walk through the door. Sasha and Taylor pretend that they don't know each other. Daphne finds out Dmitri lives in L.A., and she's sad to learn that he'll be leaving. Later, Sasha and Taylor start to make love in the Come-On's back room. Daphne and Dmitri stop by the boutique, and Daphne spots their two sets of legs in action. She quickly hustles Dmitri out of the store. Back in Ben's office, Natalia hides under the desk as Cecil walks in. She watches, repulsed, as he blows up an inflatable doll and calls it "Natalia." After he leaves, Natalia finds the will--on DVD. She heads to Boris' office to watch it and learns that Boris left equal shares of his assets to Dmitri, Ivan, Sasha and...the Fort Kent Tree Frog Foundation. And, he adds, it's his decree that Natalia will never run Spyder Games.

Wednesday, June 27th:
At the boutique, Taylor hustles Sasha out the back door, then faces Daphne and says she's having an affair with a married man. On his way out, Dmitri runs into Sasha in the back alley. Dmitri sees lipstick on his collar, but Sasha tells him to mind his own business. In her office, Natalia imagines she's talking to Boris and confronts him. She starts choking him, then snaps out of her reverie and realizes she's choking her assistant, Todd. She coerces him into altering the will with high-tech editing equipment before the reading. Meanwhile at the mansion, Francisco finds Boris' checkbook and removes several check stubs with his name on them--made out for thousands of dollars. He runs into Dmitri and tries to convince him to stop investigating his father's death. The next day, Dmitri calls Daphne for a date. Taylor tries to convince Daphne to take things slow. Taylor then tells Sasha they need to cool it after their close call, and Sasha asks her to marry him. Dmitri gets called back to L.A. for an emergency, and they move up the reading of the will--to 5 p.m. that day. Natalia practically jumps out of her skin. Will she and Todd finish altering the DVD will in time?

Thursday, June 28th:
Taylor dismisses Sasha's marriage proposal, but Sasha tells her he loves her. He leaves for the will reading, and Cherish stops by, just missing him. Taylor promises to smooth the Sasha situation over with Cherish's father. At the house, Ivan is glum about the reading and doesn't think he'll get anything. Meanwhile, Natalia and Todd are desperately trying to finish editing the will. They're out of time, and Natalia grabs whatever they have and heads to Cecil's office. She just manages to sneak the DVD back into his desk before the others arrive. There's a surprise guest at the reading--Ben, who's in a wheelchair. He has poor motor skills and can't speak. They all watch the will, and Todd's editing is flawless. They re-worded Boris to say that all four kids get equal shares of the company and that Natalia is to run the company forever. Everyone is shocked because they knew Boris disliked Natalia. Ben freaks out but is unable to verbalize his anger. It looks like Natalia gets away with it until Cecil says he's just discovered a codicil, a document that's dated after the will and supersedes anything in it. What does it say?

Friday, June 29th:
At Fort Kent High School, Cherish and Rocio are studying together when a popular jock, Alex Peters, comes by and asks Cherish on a date. When she turns him down, Rocio gets angry, knowing it's because of her unreciprocated feelings for Sasha. Cherish later changes her mind about the date, but before she can tell Alex, Sasha walks in and says he won't cause more problems for her and her dad. Cecil reads the codicil in which Boris states that should he die before Sasha turns 21, he wants to make sure that the family estate isn't sold. Natalia is relieved. Back at Spyder Games, Todd has changed Boris' office into Natalia's, and she's thrilled. When an angry Francisco stops by, she apologizes for standing him up and the two tear each other's clothes off as Todd watches on his computer via hidden camera. Back at the house, Ivan downloads some male pictures before making love to his wife. At the boutique, Taylor gets a mysterious phone call that leaves her upset and shaken. Dmitri must fly to L.A. immediately and leaves a note for Daphne, but Taylor finds the note and destroys it. Lt. Pardee reveals the official news: Boris' death was ruled a DUI. But Dmitri is still skeptical.
