Jan-Feb  l  March-June  l  July-Sept  l  October-November  l  December

March 13:  As Julian struggles to get to Duke, Sean and Anna try to figure out who the mole is that's providing Julian with information.  Anna's particularly disturbed that her handwriting was replicated.  Later when Katherine's wedding planner asks Anna to write down her home address, Anna realizes she's the mole.  Robert, who's with Duke, pretends to be in Washington working on Duke's case.  His bride-to-be knows he's hiding something from her when he calls and talks to Anna.  Robert later arrives and makes the announcement that he's been kicked off of Duke's case due to his personal involvement. When the wedding planner rushes off, he and Anna confirm their suspicions.  Unnoticed, Katherine observes their closeness.  Julian becomes upset over the change in plans.  Meanwhile, Robin and her classmates dig around Spoon Island looking for arrowheads.  Larry Ashton, who's taken them over in his boat, is intrigued by the large piece of blue glass that Robin finds.  The kids look around for more pieces.  Despite Anna and Katherine's not-so-subtle hints, Robert insists on accompanying Robin and Anna home.  He deflects Katherine's statement that he's avoiding her.  Mary pleads with the upset bride not do anything rash.  At the Lavery home, Robert shocks Robin and Anna with the news that they will be going into hiding during his wedding to Katherine, which Scorpio believes will be the perfect cover.  He also plans on arresting Julian right before the ceremony.  Anna and Robin try to talk him out of the plan, insisting it'll hurt Katherine's feelings but Scorpio states there isn't another way.  Robin's not happy about not getting to be in the wedding party. The trio hug before he leaves, all sad to know that soon they'll have to part. Though Anna reassures him that she trusts him, Robert warns her, "And don't go getting creative on me, please." They shake hands and kiss before he departs.

March 14:  Anna's thrilled when Lewis calls to tell her they were able to match the partial fingerprint on the gun that killed Olivia.  It matches Julian Jerome.  Luckily, she rushes over to Robert's office because she arrives to find Julian looking at closed file on Robert's desk.  Sean's arrival is a relief to Anna, who's trying to dodge Julian's questions.  Donely, holding another file, lies that the test proved that a cop shot Olivia.  Julian's relief is obvious and Anna takes the opportunity to follow through with Robert's plan and invites Julian to be her date to the wedding.  He accepts and leaves.  When Anna remarks that Julian looked like a cat that ate the canary, Sean comes back with, "Oh yeah, and I hope he chokes on it."  Colton then bursts in, has a fit when he's told that a cop shot Olivia and rails at Sean and Anna.  After his departure, a guilt-ridden Anna is upset about lying to him.  Sean warns her they can't afford complications now, too much is at stake.  He tries to cheer her up by asking her if the name "McCloud" would work for a new alias for the Lavery family.  Anna smiles and says Duke would love having a Scottish name.

March 15:  At the Lavery house, Sean again tries to convince Anna that not tell Colton the truth is best for everyone.  Anna's also upset about how Katherine's going to react to everything. Robin enters and asks how they're going to escape without everyone noticing they're not at the wedding.  Sean and Anna realize that's a weak point in their plan.  It's agreed Anna and Robin will become sick, so Robin starts pretending to cough.  At the chapel, Robert confesses everything to Katherine, who's relieved he's not backing out of the nuptials.  She's thrilled that Duke's alive but about the part of the wedding switch.  "I'm going to use the wedding as a cover because Julian expects them to be there," Robert explains.  "Now, can we forget about all these notions about my ex and I being an item?" he quips.  Later, at the Lavery house, there's a small reception in honor of the upcoming wedding.  Tiffany and her cameraman film the event, including Rowdy and Robin showing off her newly found piece of glass.  Privately, Rowdy presents Robin with a gift and asks if they can go out on a date.  Anna's absence is noticed by many.  She's off at Colton's, trying to explain what happened.  She confesses about the shooting and tells him it's important that Julian not know they've caught him.  Colton's still distraught over Olivia's death.  When Anna returns home, Katherine corners her and the duo hug.  Robert and Sean then force Anna to confess she told Colton.  They're not happy, worried that Colton will do something rash.  "I told you not to do anything creative!" Robert grumbles.  They then rejoin the party and toast the happy couple.  When Sean's toast fails to win Robert's approval, Anna chimes in, "I want to wish you so much happiness... and a love that goes on forever and knows no boundaries."
