Sunset Beach : Season 2 Episode 229

Ben told Meg they were spending the day together -- in Santa Barbara -- so they could be alone. Meg thanked him, but Ben sensed something was wrong. She admitted she had an argument with her father. Ben suggested they stop by the Cummings house on the way to Santa Barbara. Maria overheard Ben mention that Meg's fight with her father was about Maria. Later, Maria left another message for Pete Valente. Carmen brought Maria's favorite dishes, even though Gabi was making Thanksgiving dinner. Ricardo accused Carmen of not accepting Gabi, but Carmen insisted she only did it for Maria.
