At the country club, Martin thought he heard the busboy say what color his money was. The busboy said he asked if he was ready for the check. Vernon wanted to know why Martin was upset. Martin said he was starting to hear things. He told Vernon that he thought he heard the busboy ask him what color his money was. Vernon said that was what was said that night. Martin wondered if the busboy really said what he thought he heard. He also wondered if the busboy was the one who said it. Vernon said that wasn’t possible since he hired someone to keep an eye on the guy after he took the settlement money and left the country. At Orphey Gene’s Andre ran into Naomi. Naomi told him about her father. While they were talking, they talked about Ashley and Derek. Andre said he felt bad talking about Ashley and Derek’s problems behind their backs. Naomi said it was okay since they were trying to make their relationship work. Andre pretended to be happy when Naomi said Derek planned to propose to Ashley. Naomi thought it was too soon. She said Derek’s accident messed with his and Ashley’s emotions which made them decide to move in with each other.
Ashley was shocked when Derek pulled out the ring. Derek said they didn’t have to elope that night. He just wanted to make it official that they belong together. Derek said the ring would tie them together. He asked if Ashley would wear the ring. Ashley turned down his proposal because she wasn’t ready. Derek wanted to know why she didn’t want to get married. Ashley said it didn’t feel right. She said when they moved in together, a voice in her head told her they didn’t do it for the right reasons, so she decided to listen to the voice now. Derek said he heard a voice in his head saying that she was playing him. Ashley said she was being honest and told him he was just as unsure about them as she was. She assured him that she wasn’t waiting for a better option and wasn’t looking for one. Derek told her they should both look for better options. He left her in the bar. Andre showed up at the club. Ashley told him that Derek proposed to her but it felt like an ultimatum. Andre said Derek was a hothead, but he would calm down and realize the mistake he made. Ashley didn’t think so. She felt her future walk out when Derek left. Joey met Vanessa at the casino. Vanessa ripped into him for seducing her on the same table where he was cheating her husband at cards. She thought he wanted his hands on her real estate agency. Vanessa said he needed a reputable business so he could do his dirt. She thought he was going to use her business to launder his money. Joey told her she didn’t have any bargaining power. He reminded her that she owed him a lot of money. Joey said he cared about her more than Doug did which was why he came up with a proposal. He said she would arrange real estate deals for him and the commission would pay off Doug’s gambling debt. Vanessa told him all she had to do was ask. She said she didn’t want to be his partner and not his mark. Joey told her she was overplaying her hand. Vanessa told him she would use her connections to shut his illegal activities down for good. She said she liked him so there was no reason for them to go to war with each other. Joey agreed to her terms, and they ended up having sex. Martin was still suspicious of the busboy and attacked him on the way out. He asked the busboy why he was talking to him, what he wanted, and who he was.
