"Kendall pronounces herself the welcoming committee as she snaps pictures of Ryan carrying Greenlee across the threshold. Well, the committee is actually her and some friends and family waiting on the other side of the door. Not wanting to "steal their thunder," Kendall lets the new couple make the announcement. Greenlee tells the guests to give a "warm Pine Valley welcome to Mr. & Mrs. Ryan Lavery." The announcement is greeted by stunned stares and total silence. As they recover everyone thinks it's a joke until Simone vouches she was there. Jackson wants details. Ryan and Greenlee oblige. Ryan thanks Kendall for helping them spread the joy. Ryan tells the crowd he and Greenlee got married to make themselves happy and if anyone's not supportive of that, then "there's the door." Jack hugs Greenlee and tells her if this makes his daughter happy then he's happy. Kendall asks to be the first to kiss the groom. She plants a kiss on Ryan's cheek and wishes him and Greenlee all the best. Bianca pulls Ryan to the side and asks how he could marry Greenlee when he's in love with her sister. "This is not about me loving or me not loving Kendall," Ryan tells Bianca. It's about the stable life he wants and can not have with Kendall. David pulls Greenlee aside and offers to help her get out of the marriage. No sale. Greenlee tells David she's happy and for him not to make her choose, "'Cause you'll lose." Someone proposes a toast to the bride and groom. David stops it throwing his champagne flute to the floor and saying he'd rather drink crushed glass than toast this marriage. Furthermore, David starts a betting pool saying they'll be in divorce court within a year. Kendall has taken all she can and asks JR to get her out of there. Tad and Liza meet on the balcony and leave together to get coffee.

JR takes Kendall to the boathouse. Kendall thinks she's lost it but JR says she showed her true colors and took back the power. She showed she can take anything and keep smiling, JR says. They commiserate they've both had their hearts broken by someone they "thought they loved." Kendall asks JR what Babe did to him. JR eventually tells Kendall everything Babe did and his whole plan for revenge. He asks Kendall if she thinks he's heartless for marrying a woman he doesn't love. Kendall tells him no, not when he's fighting for his daughter. Kendall even offers to help JR if there's anything she can do.

At the restaurant, Liza asks Tad if they can start over. Tad doesn't buy that Liza had nothing to do with JR finding out about Babe's bigamy. Liza explains she was at the house to pick up Colby when JR came into the study because he'd found the annulment papers all by himself. Liza calls it karma. Tad calls it B.S.

The party continues breaking up. Bianca and Maggie take off together. Reggie tries to tail along but the girls leave him behind. Stuck there, Reggie resorts to harassing the bride and groom. He asks Greenlee when she is going to start spitting out little Ryans. Jack tells him he's out of place asking such a question, but Ryan tells him it's okay, they've discussed it. With that, Greenlee provides the answer saying they both want a big family but babies are on hold until they settle into married life. The balance of the guests leave so Ryan and Greenlee can get on with "honeymoon stuff." After everyone is gone, Greenlee wonders aloud to Ryan whether anyone bought them being a bonafied married couple. Ryan tells her some of them did and decides he needs a drink. Ryan pours a single malt for he and Greenlee and makes one more toast. "To team Lavery," Ryan says, and he and Greenlee click crystal.

Edmund has a good day in physical therapy. Aidan "races" him back to the room. Opal awards Edmund a bedpan as a trophy for winning the "chariot race." Anita joins the fun. She tells Aidan a nurse named Tory calls Aidan "the hot Brit" and that Tory would like to buy him dinner anytime. Some present aren't sure she's Aidan's type so they go down the list of what he looks for in a woman. Rich or poor, blonde or brunette . . . the list is so non-specific as to include all females. Well, evidently all except Tory. Aidan refuses Anita's fix-up offer. Opal, Anita, and Aidan leave the room. Alone, Maria and Edmund promise each other they'll never let anything get in the way of the amazing love they share.

Back at his house, David is extremely angry. He throws some stuff around then sits down taking a vial with a red cap in one hand and tapping it's cap with the other hand as his mind spins an undoubtedly evil scheme.

Babe finds Krystal holding a toy at the crash site and suspects something is wrong. Krystal makes the excuse that she's there mourning for Bianca's baby and to ask the baby's forgiveness for hardening her heart against Bianca and not wanting her to be Bess' godmother. Now, Krystal says, she accepts that Bianca being Bess' godmother is a blessing. At first Babe believes her mom but wonders why she tried to sneak off, why she didn't want her along. Krystal tells her she just didn't want to stir up memories because she's so near the crash site. As Babe accepts this and turns to leave memories overcome her. She remembers the crash and running through the woods the night before. Krystal tries to stop Babe from remembering more. Before Krystal can drag Babe away, Babe remembers Paul telling her after the crash it was her baby that went in the river. Then she remembers giving birth and Paul congratulating her on her new baby boy. Flashes of moments and things that did not make sense ever since the birth roll through Babe's mind confirming her worst fears. Babe turns to her mom with tears rolling down her cheeks and says, "It was mine." Krystal asks what she thinks was hers. Babe tells Krystal it was her baby boy that was lost. Babe realizes Paul's kidnapping comment at the hospital was aimed at her, not Bianca. Babe also realizes her mom already knew. Krystal swears she didn't but Babe thinks of all the toys that have gone missing from the toy box and realizes her mom was bringing them to the crash site for her lost baby. Babe nails her mom dead on about everything then begs Mom to tell her she's wrong. Krystal is speechless. On her knees, Babe rubs the ground and says, "I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy," before breaking down in her mom's arms. A little later and all cried out, Babe raises her head from her mom's chest and asks her what she's going to do."
