"Ryan carried Greenlee into the hospital, only to be told by the nurse behind the desk that he had to take a seat and wait his turn. He tried to impress upon her that it was an emergency, but the nurse stubbornly refused to listen to him. When Joe Martin passed by, Ryan grabbed him and begged for his help with Greenlee, who was standing next to Ryan, looking dazed and wobbly. Joe realized right away that there was something terribly wrong with Greenlee, so he ordered the nurse to call Maria and tell her to meet them in an examination room. Maria was in her office, arguing with Zach about his outlandish attempt to free Ethan by shooting at Ryan and Greenlee. She was interrupted by a phone call notifying her of Greenlee's admission to the hospital. She rushed out, leaving Zach behind.
In the exam room with Joe, Ryan, and Greenlee, Maria asked a series of questions in an attempt to determine what the cause of Greenlee's headaches, odd behavior, and blurry vision could be. She and Joe decided to order an MRI immediately. Greenlee panicked, worried that Maria suspected a terminal brain tumor, but Ryan calmed her down. When she prepared to get in the MRI, Greenlee again experienced a moment of panic at the thought of being enclosed in the device. She begged Ryan to get her a newer model, one that was opened, but he pointed out that it was not something that was easily done.
With great trepidation Greenlee got onto the MRI while Ryan promised to wait just outside the room, watching her the entire time through the window. In the hallway, Ryan sought reassurance from Maria that Greenlee would be fine, but all Maria could say was that she was trying to rule out the possibility of a tumor. He relaxed for a moment and shared with her his belief that Zach was the person who had shot at him earlier that day. He noticed instantly that Maria didn't seem surprised and commented on it, but before it could go further than that, they heard Greenlee begin to yell to let her out of the MRI.
Maria and Ryan rushed in, and Ryan quickly calmed Greenlee down then insisted on staying with her during the test. Maria and the technician were reluctant but relented when it became clear that Ryan would not leave his wife's side. During the second MRI, Ryan comforted Greenlee with uplifting stories and reassurances of his deep love for her.
While Maria was gone, Zach made a phone call to find out the status of Ethan's case, to no avail. He responded to a knock at the door and found a stranger standing there, holding a large envelope, asking for Maria. Zach asked if he could help, but the gentleman refused the offer, saying he had to see Maria in person.
Maria walked in a few moments later and was immediately handed the envelope by the stranger who told her, "You've been served." The envelope contained divorce papers. She immediately let Zach know that discussion about her pending divorce was off limits. When he asked after Greenlee's health, Maria used the opportunity to once again urge Zach to come clean to Ethan about being his father. Zach was adamant in his decision not to say anything, clinging to the argument that learning he was a Cambias would ruin Ethan's life.
Adam tried to convince Krystal to tell him the truth about the letter. He asked her if Bess was his granddaughter or if there was a possibility of a grandson who had perished in the helicopter crash. He pulled out every weapon in his arsenal to get the truth from Krystal: lies, manipulation, and even bribery, to no avail. Krystal refused to disclose anything to him. She even went as far to tell him that she was 100% certain that Bess was his grandchild and that the letters Babe had written were nothing but a pack of lies because she was the one who had put Babe up to writing them. It had been an attempt to get Bess away from J.R. and his father. Adam was livid and stormed out of the cabin.
Awaiting the judge's entrance into court for the special hearing Olivia had set up, Ethan tried to convince Kendall to press charges against Greenlee for running her over. Kendall flatly refused and instead tried to convince him that Greenlee was unwell. Ethan wasn't concerned, but he was unable to change Kendall's mind. Once the judge entered, everyone took their seats. Olivia made a compelling argument to have the charges dismissed, but the prosecution insisted that the second shooter was most likely a copycat who might either be seeking publicity or attempting to help free Ethan. The judge decided to let the charges stand but reduced the bail, which allowed Kendall to use her shares in Fusion as collateral for bail.
Kendall took Ethan back to her place and handed him a set of keys. She was quick to let him know that although she would like him to stay with her rather than at the run-down motel, it was more for practical reasons than romantic ones. Ethan accepted her offer. They sat down to enjoy some caviar and Champagne as well as a kiss, but Kendall pulled back. She told him that the last time they'd been together, they'd been saying goodbye, but they weren't anymore. She was worried that they were doing nothing but complicating their relationship, which might, in the end, ruin everything else between them. Ethan listened to her concerns then convinced her to take a chance with him.
After reading a newspaper headline about Ace Buchanan's kidnapping, which showed a picture of him, a man in a diner looked over to the table where Babe and Jamie were seated with James. He saw enough of a resemblance between the picture and James to go over to their table and make small talk before asking more probing questions about James. Introducing himself as Charlie Dibble, the town's magistrate, he took a seat at the table and told Babe and Jamie in no uncertain terms that he planned on ascertaining whether James was really their son before letting them leave town. Babe, hoping to throw off suspicion and garner "family loyalty," pretended that she was a Dibble from Georgia and claimed that they might be related. Her plan flopped miserably.
Jamie quickly devised a scheme to pretend to be an angry husband who was outraged that someone would question whether the baby was his or not. He accused Babe of cheating on him the night James had been conceived, saying it was with a man named Steve whom she'd left with for an hour during a jamboree. Babe played along as the offended wife who'd done nothing wrong and insisted that the baby was her husband's. They went back and forth, weaving their story, until Charlie Dibble was put into a position where he felt obligated to take back his words and suspicions in order to prevent the couple from breaking up. While they shared a dance to their "special song," Charlie Dibble left the diner.
Moments later, Babe and Jamie decided to leave, as well, before he changed his mind and returned. As Jamie was at the diner counter, he glimpsed the newspaper that Charlie Dibble was reading and learned of Paul Cramer's death. He tried to hide it from Babe when she joined him there but was unsuccessful. Babe wondered aloud who might have killed Paul. Jamie replied, "Who cares? He's dead, let's get a move on.""
