In just three weeks, Luc will be forced to leave the country unless he gets a new visa. Just in the nick of time, a letter arrives from the State Department. Luc is legal! Feel free to let out a big old "whoo hoo" right about now. We did! Gotta love the government! Well, in this instance, at least.

Kitty wants Kevin to go to some campaign events with her, even though he reminds her that he does not work for her. Nevertheless, good brother that he is, Kevin agrees to join her at a rally. A chorus of boos fill the air once Kitty is introduced. The folks in the audience are upset about something. They chant, "America for Americans." So much for that whole melting pot theory.

There have been unsubstantiated reports that both Kitty and Robert pulled some political strings to keep Luc in the country. Kevin discovers that a woman named Trudy from his old law firm found out he called an old immigration law friend. She started a blog about how their actions are taking jobs away from Americans. Kitty tells Kevin to write a statement to help settle things down, even though he doesn't work for her.

Some sleazy paparazzi (we know, that's redundant) harass Sarah and Luc outside the house. Apparently, Sarah has been dubbed the Pasadena Cougar. We have to admit, it's kind of catchy. Anyway, the entire blogosphere is screaming for Luc's visa to be revoked. There's also a "Free Luc Laurent" website. Unfortunately, it's a site that wants to "free him from the claws of the oversexed housewife." Sarah presumes that's her.

Most of the things being said on the Internet are complete lies. But Luc reveals that one unsavory tidbit is true. He was once associated with a brothel his uncle owned. He didn't do anything wrong, but there's no denying that he will be found guilty by association.

The media storm surrounding Luc pressures the powers that be to revoke his visa. Remember how we said you gotta love the government? We take it all back. Sarah and Luc say goodbye to each other at the airport. But before he can make his way through security, the cavalry arrives. And by cavalry, we mean Kevin and Kitty.

Kitty says they still have three weeks to fight this. The battle begins with an impromptu press conference to a slimy cameraman who tailed them to the airport. Kitty gives a good speech that draws applause from others in the terminal. It also takes the World Wide Web by storm. When the press conference ends, Sarah and Luc share a passionate kiss to celebrate the fact that he's not going anywhere just yet.

Nora doesn't want Dennis York to contact her kids, so she meets with him as part of a preemptive strike. She says, "Dennis, I don't know why you want to buy the company so badly, but it's not going to happen." York begs to differ. He tells Nora that she will convince her kids to sell him their shares. If she doesn't, he'll tell them what happened. What could this guy possibly have on Nora?

Holly finally tells Rebecca that she lost all her money in a Ponzi scheme. Now, if you remember, Rebecca has about two million dollars she received from William's estate. She asked Nora to hold it for her until she figured out what she should do with the money. Now she knows. Rebecca tells Nora that she wants to give the dough to her mom and Ojai.

Nora freaks a bit when she hears this, but promises to do whatever Rebecca wants. But it's obvious that Nora's head is spinning during a meeting with Holly, who says that she plans on accepting her daughter's offer. Nora makes an impromptu trip to Seattle to visit Tommy. She wants him to convince Sarah to sell her shares. Again, what could York know that has Nora so anxious?

Things have gotten worse between Tommy and Julia, but he still doesn't want to go back with Nora. He feels that everything bad that's happened to him stemmed from Ojai. But after a heart-to-heart with Nora, he agrees to help her convince the others to sell their shares. Tommy says, "I guess it's time for me to come home."
