"Bobby introduces himself to Pearle, one of Erica's co-workers, but Erica quickly comes over and interrupts. Pearle assumes that Erica and Bobby are romantically involved and leaves them alone. Bobby jokes that Erica ruined his fun for the evening and then informs her that Anita isn't coming to visit him, thanks to Aidan. When Erica asks him if he thinks Aidan saw her, Bobby says it is not likely or else all of Pine Valley would be after her. When Bobby brings up who his wife is, Erica's face goes blank. She doesn't even notice Puggy interrupting, and tells Bobby he should catch a flight and go straight to hell! Erica rushes to her room and starts to pour herself a drink. Bobby bangs on the door and lets himself in with a master key. Erica calls him a liar for not admitting his relationship to Palmer and his father, Cliff Warner. She thinks he is after her, just like everyone else in Pine Valley, so now her cover will surely be blown. Bobby tells her there is no conspiracy and takes her drink from her. Erica asks like a child, throwing a temper tantrum because he took her drink, and then her entire bottle of alcohol. Bobby tells her that she can't drown her problems in booze and if he means nothing to her, then she should throw all of it away. Of course, Erica won't and her problem isn't alcohol, it's all the liars she keeps getting deceived by. Erica tells him to leave, but before Bobby goes, he reminds her that he is the only friend she has left who genuinely cares about her. Bobby walks out and when Erica turns around, she sees the shadowy figure she believes to be her father, standing by the dresser, shuffling a stack of cards in his hand. Erica tells him that if she gets the high card, he has to leave her alone forever. The figure hands the cards to Erica, she cuts the deck, and shows she has a queen of hearts. The figure shows her his card, a king of spades, making him the winner.

Anita, sporting an new sexy look, goes to see Aidan, where she barges in after he opens the door. Anita tells him that she wants to be more fun and stop being so dull. When she suggest Aidan take her to a club, Aidan says he would rather talk about what is on her mind. To avoid the subject, Anita starts asking Aidan a series of questions, with responses that include something you would expect to say to those survey folks who bother you at night, such as "agree" or "strongly agree" and so on. For her first question, Anita asks Aidan is he thinks she is pretty. Aidan says, "strongly agree." Her second question is if Anita would be a good lover in bed and Aidan says, "strongly agree." Anita kisses Aidan, but pulls away suddenly, feeling foolish and completely embarrassed. She begins ranting about how much Bobby has hurt her and that it's not fair he gets to cheat and deceive while her heart is breaking inside. Aidan gives her a hug and tells that she knows what she has to do. Anita thanks him for his kindness and goes to see Livia Frye, where she says she wants to file divorce papers.

Ryan is asleep on the couch, dreaming of Kendall's most recent striptease. When Greenlee leans over and says his name, he kisses her, thinking it is Kendall. When he wakes up and realizes he is kissing Greenlee, she walks away and asks him who he was dreaming about. Ryan pretends that he doesn't remember and Greenlee retorts that whoever it was might cause some problems in there relationship. Ryan thinks that Greenlee's "problem" has to do with the no sex clause in their pre-nup. Greenlee admits that she is nervous about their first public appearance together as Mr. and Mrs. Lavery at Babe and JR's wedding. After all, they have to act like a real couple, including showing some public affection. Ryan tells her she has nothing to worry about.

When Krystal walks over to join the others on the terrace, Derek Frye and his crew show up, asking to speak to Babe about a homicide. Dereks adds that he thinks Babe can provide some background information on the victim, who may have died in Atlantic City. When the crowd asks who the victim is, Derek tells them it is Paul Cramer, which brings total silence and shock to everyone. JR immediately rushes out to get Babe and they go back to the terrace. Derek tells Babe about Paul's disappearance and ask her why she called him that morning, asking to speak to him right away. Babe says that Paul always caused trouble for her and she wanted to make sure he didn't ruin her wedding day. She tells Derek about their brief marriage as well. JR and Adam admit they didn't like him either. Tad says no one liked him and blurts out that Paul threatened to take Bess from Babe. Bianca and JR are both surprised and Bianca assures Babe the she won't let anyone take her baby from her. Derek asks her why she thought Paul would kidnap her child. Babe admits that she was scared. When Derek asks if there is a chance the baby is Paul's, Babe quickly tells him no and she can prove it with her paternity test. As soon as Derek and his cop crew leave, JR demands to know why Babe didn't tell him about Paul's threats. Babe said that if JR had handled the situation, he would be in jail. Krystal takes Babe to go get dressed, JR calls Tad out on his second lie, and walks off. When JR and Bianca are alone, Bianca tells him that she wants to talk to him about Bess. Babe is frantic in her room and thinks that Bianca's behavior to protect her is a sign from God to tell the truth. Krystal twists it around and says with Paul's disappearance, maybe that is sign from God as well. Maybe it is a sign for her not to tell because her main threat, Paul, is gone. Babe doesn't know what to do, but realizes she has to do something.

Kendall asks Babe why she called Bess "Miranda" and Babe stutters that she sometimes call Bess by her middle name. She uses her name, Arabella, as an example, but Kendall still pressures her for more answers. Babe admits that she feels guilty her baby survived and that she would never call Bess, "Miranda" in front of Bianca. Kendall starts recanting the horrible night of the plane crash and how brave Babe must have been to deliver Miranda. When Kendall brings Babe getting help, she sputters out that Babe called her "ex-husband" for help and Paul is the only person who really knows the truth about that night. While Kendall continues to talk, Babe turns away, showing how nervous and scared she is. Kendall even admits to Babe that she knows about her first marriage to Paul. Babe is shocked, but Kendall assures her that JR is her friend and her secret is safe. JR comes in and tells Babe he needs her on the terrace. Kendall asks for more time with Babe, but JR dismisses it. Kendall offers to watch Bess until Babe comes back and they leave. Kendall walks over and looks closely at Bess. She recalls telling Ryan that when she first saw Bess, it was like looking into Miranda's eyes. Suddenly, it hits her and when Ryan and Greenlee walk in, she blurts out that Bess is really Miranda! Of course, Ryan thinks Kendall is pulling another stunt, but Kendall tells him this is not about their marriage. It is about Miranda. She explains that she heard Babe call Bess "Miranda" and when she asked her why, she just fumbled over her weak excuses. She brings up the fact that at the crash site, Paul first told JR his baby died, but when Adam and JR threatened him, he immediately said Bianca's baby is the one who died. Kendall says that Paul must have changed his story because he was scared. Greenlee begins to see Kendall's point and tells Ryan that Kendall isn't plotting this time, she really believes the baby is Miranda. Kendall also brings up that before Bianca truly accepted Miranda's death, she heard her baby crying and took Bess, thinking she was taking her own child home. Greenlee tells Ryan that the worst thing to happen is everyone hates their guts for being wrong -- nothing new for them. Kendall says she doesn't care whether they believe her or not, she is going to tell Bianca her baby is alive."
