""What did you say?", Liza asks Adam, shocked. Adam tries to back-track, but it's too late, Liza has realized the truth. She was only accusing him of switching Colby's stem cells, but Adam didn't realize that and blurted out the truth that Colby is his daughter, not Jake's. Liza is very quiet, almost too quiet, as Adam explains why he did it, because he loves her and he wanted them to have a perfect life together. He knew that they would find their way back to each other and when they did, he didn't want her to be carrying another man's baby. I did what was best for us, he claims, and asks for her forgiveness. But what about everyone else, Liza asks, starting to show a bit of anger, what about Jake and Ruth and Joe, don't you think this will hurt them terribly? Adam doesn't really seem to care, suggesting that Jake can now go off and start a family of his own, as if Jake won't be devastated to learn the truth. This hurts Liza even more and when he tries to claim again he did it because he loves her, she tells him it's a lie, he did it for himself. He wants a child to mold in his own image, to be his piece of immortality. He did it before with Dixie when Brooke couldn't have a child, and he's doing the same thing now, Liza accuses. Adam denies it, unable to see that he's done anything, he did everything out of love. You don't love me, Liza tells him, what you did to me was rape. Adam is shocked speechless by her accusation.

At B.J.'s, Hayley is sitting with Jake and Colby and anxiously waiting for Ryan to arrive. She doesn't understand why he hasn't called or left a message. She's also worried because Mateo is out there somewhere in a really bad mood and hopes he doesn't run into Ryan. She and Jake finally decide that Gillian and Ryan are not going to show up and both of them go over to Tad and Dixie's house where the whole family is gathering.

Still at the boathouse, Mateo picks up a pumpkin in a fit of rage and hurls it, almost hitting Adrian, who has just arrived. Mateo tells Adrian the whole story about Ryan and Hayley at the Dillon house and how angry he is at Ryan for manipulating Hayley. Adrian suggests that even though Mateo loves her, maybe he isn't what she needs right now, in the same way that he didn't love Belinda in the way she needed to be loved right now. Mateo's not convinced and wishes Ryan were out of their lives for good.

In a replay of yesterday's scene, Gillian is driving way too fast and Ryan is begging her to slow down. Suddenly, a figure in black appears in front of the car and Gillian slams on the brakes and swerves to avoid it. When we next see the car, a telephone pole is leaning on top of the car and sparking wires are everywhere. Gillian has been thrown from the car, but Ryan is still trapped inside. The figure in black looks at the scene, then disappears without trying to help. Gasoline drips from the car as sparks continue to fly. Ryan comes to and calls out for Gillian. He reaches out his hand, but can't feel her, and soon passes out again.

At Tad and Dixie's, Opal is dressed up as a fortune teller and is entertaining Junior, Jaime, Amanda and Petey. Junior asks her if she believes there are things in the woods and she tells him there isn't anything there except fuzzy woodland creatures. Junior slips and mentions being in the woods that night, which the adults pick up on right away and ask what they were doing there. They are forced to explain that they were out in the woods looking for the bottle cap man and Amanda mentions that she saw a witch. Janet looks a little strange while they're talking about this, but assures Amanda that she must have seen another trick-or-treater, there are no such things as witches. Amanda's not convinced and is worried the witch is waiting outside for them. Opal thinks Junior is so worried because of his dream about Ray Gardner, and assures him that Ray is dead and buried and can never hurt him. Tad quietly comments to Dixie that the only one that hurts Junior is Adam. Adrian arrives at the party, followed closely by Hayley, Jake and Colby. Hayley still has a bad feeling about Ryan, which only gets worse when Adrian mentions what a state Mateo was in when he saw him at the boathouse. Amanda and Janet leave, with Amanda looking around nervously for the witch. As soon as they are gone, the figure in black appears on Tad and Dixie's porch and heads off after Janet and Amanda.

Mateo pulls up at the scene of the accident. He first sees Gillian lying on the road and because of all the spilled fuel and sparks, pulls her further away from the car. He then looks in the car to see if anyone else is in there and spies Ryan. In his mind, he remembers the conversation he just had with Adrian about how much better his life would be without Ryan in it. As Mateo ponders the situation, Ryan wakes up and stretches his hand out toward Mateo, asking him for help."
