BEN'S HOUSE: When Tess announced that Maria was Benjy's mother, Meg accused her of lying, and Maria said that she thought that she'd remember having a son. Tess and Ben took Benjy upstairs, where Tess revealed that Benjy has a sketch of Ben, drawn by Maria, and that Benjy knows that it's a drawing of his father. Tess told Meg, Maria and Ben that she is Benjy's nanny and that they've been living in Seattle. She claimed that Maria had told her that she was going back to Benjy's father. Ben asked why she didn't go to the police when Maria disappeared. Tess said that she did call the police, but didn't get very far. All that turned up was that the last name Maria had been using, Rodriguez, was an alias. Ben asked how Tess could find Maria if the police couldn't. Tess showed them an article that Dr. Estrada had published in a medical journal and said that she was able to put the pieces together. She gave Ben the missing persons report from Seattle and a report from a private investigator she had hired to track down Maria.

When Hank, Joan, Sara and Casey come to see Ben and Meg off, Meg tried to shoo her family out quickly, but Benjy came downstairs before she could get rid of them. The Cummings watched while Benjy called Ben and Maria his parents.
