"At the altar with Bianca holding Bess, Babe tearfully spoke about the ordeal she and Bianca had gone through in the cabin the night of the storm. She said that together, she and Bianca would grieve the loss of a child. Babe said that while she was the lucky one who had been handed the baby that had survived, she wouldn't turn her back on Bianca. She told everyone that while Bianca was Bess's godmother, she wanted her to be the baby's mother too. Babe went on that she wanted Bianca to be there when Bess took her first steps, said her first words, walked down the aisle to get married, and when she had her first child.
Kendall couldn't sit through it any longer and went off. She blurted out that after everything Babe had done, she didn't deserve a happy ending. Bianca tried to calm her sister, but Kendall walked to the front, still trashing Babe. Krystal stood up with Babe, and JR tried to get Kendall to leave. Ryan stepped forward and led Kendall out of the ceremony.
Babe was visibly shaken and asked JR why she wouldn't have her happy ending. JR looked at her coldly and picked up Bess to comfort her. The minister restarted the ceremony, and Bianca reached out to hold Bess. JR just glared at her until Babe gently told him to hand the baby to Bianca. The minister christened the baby Elizabeth Miranda Chandler while Bianca held her, smiling. Babe and JR watched, one with guilt and one with distrust.
In Adam's office, Ryan tried to get Kendall to calm down, but she just ranted about Babe's lies and that Babe was just playing Bianca and JR. Kendall said that it was all Babe's fault that Bianca didn't have her baby. Finally, Ryan shut her up by saying she wasn't really angry at Babe; she was angry at him. Kendall turned on him and demanded that he help her work through it then because he was the only person who knew her. She ordered him to admit he had only married Greenlee to hurt Kendall.
Ryan said he had married Greenlee because he could have the life he wanted with her, "I can breathe. I don't have to explain myself to her. I don't get grilled. I don't get tested," he said. Kendall asked what had made him decide Greenlee was the one and probed what feelings he had for Greenlee. Ryan said it was love. Kendall said, "Oh, you mean like you love French fries? Like you love your pet?"
Ryan told her he wanted off the merry-go-round and headed toward the door. Kendall stopped him and apologized, saying she didn't know what was wrong with her. She begged Ryan to help her before she wrecked what was left of her life. Ryan told her to drop the act and find someone else to work over.
Kendall bad-mouthed Greenlee again and said Greenlee didn't love Ryan like Kendall loved him. She said she knew that Ryan still loved her, too, and that their love was too strong. Ryan said it was all lies, games, and tricks, and said, "No, thanks." Kendall cried, "I'm the one you want. You'll come back!" She grabbed Ryan, planting a deep kiss on him.
When the ceremony ended, Babe and Bianca played with Bess until JR approached and said it was time for Bess's nap. He picked the baby up, and Bianca apologized for Kendall's behavior. Babe said Kendal was still stressed out about losing her niece. Babe hugged Bianca while JR just glared at them. Bianca pulled back and said there was no way she'd intrude on their family.
"I love Bess as her own little person, not as a replacement for Miranda," Bianca said. Bianca turned to join Maggie, and Babe tried to talk to JR, who ignored her and took Bess to the nursery. Krystal joined Babe and said how proud she was of Babe -- and that it was the best compromise.
Liza strolled over to Tad and made some very snide comments about the Carey women. Tad just snapped, "Not today, Liza," and walked away from her. Mary walked over to Greenlee and said that Kendall had staged her tantrum to get Ryan alone. Greenlee said she trusted her husband.
Babe and her mother went upstairs to Babe's bedroom. Babe said she just hadn't been able to tell the truth about the baby and that she loved Bianca, but she loved JR more. Meanwhile, JR was in the nursery with Bess. Jamie entered and said that at least everyone knew for sure that Bess was his child. JR ignored him. Jamie said not to let Kendall get to him.
JR very angrily said no one would ever take his child and that she wasn't a pet to be passed around. Jamie said she was Babe's child too. JR coldly said he knew she was Babe's too. The baby fussed, and JR went to her.
Jamie told JR that everyone was downstairs, waiting for him and Babe to start the party with a dance. JR told him to take his place; he was going to take care of Bess. Jamie thought that was very strange but went downstairs. Adam entered with the nanny and told JR how proud he was of how JR had handled everything. JR told the nanny to take Bess down to be fed and to make sure Bianca and Kendall were nowhere near her. She left with Bess.
JR told Adam there was one more thing he'd like to do that day: "Kill my bride." Adam lectured JR on behaving like a loving husband so as not to tip Babe off. JR said he didn't know how long he could do it, and his father said he had to be the perfect husband. JR said he had more interest in being the perfect father.
In her room, Babe told her mother that what she had done was selfish, and it would haunt her forever. Krystal told Babe to bury the guilt and never do anything less than love Bess with all her heart and soul. Babe promised to spend her life making Bess and JR every shade of happy. Krystal said she was Bess's mama in every way that mattered. Babe said she could live with the guilt and Kendall's anger because she had done it for JR. They went downstairs to the party.
Mary found Greenlee and harassed her about Ryan and Kendall. Greenlee didn't seem concerned at all and said again that she trusted him. She walked away, and Jack stopped her, voicing his concern about Ryan and Kendall. Greenlee tried to reassure him that she was happy with Ryan, but Jack was still worried about her.
Liza found David, who knew right away she didn't want to just chit-chat. He said she wanted to talk to him about Tad, but she said no; she wanted to talk about the mother of the bride. She asked how long he'd been sleeping with Krystal, and David realized she was hoping he had cleared the field for her to get Tad. David was very amused. She asked him where Krystal was, and he quipped, "Probably with Tad," much to Liza's disgust.
Babe looked around for JR, who finally showed up. He kissed her, and they began to slow dance. She asked if he was angry with her. JR barely looked at her as he said there was no need for her to apologize for wanting to help a friend. Then he told her how gorgeous she looked and that he couldn't wait to get her alone. He dipped her, and Babe giggled happily.
The music sped up, and Babe and JR fast danced. Bianca and Maggie stood to the side and watched. Maggie said she wasn't happy with the way JR was behaving, but Bianca blamed it on Kendall. Maggie said Kendall needed an off switch. Bianca said Kendall hadn't just lost a niece; she had lost Ryan too.
Bianca asked ,"Does love ever turn out the way it's supposed to?" Maggie replied, "Good question," and looked longingly at her friend. When the music sped up, she asked Bianca to dance, and they headed out to the dance floor. Greenlee sat at the side and watched all the couples. Then she got up to look for Ryan.
Jamie found Tad and told him he thought JR was freaked out because Babe wanted to share Bess with Bianca. Tad wasn't very concerned and told Jamie that they would work it out the way married people did. Brooke joined them, and Jamie asked her for a dance. Tad stood alone and saw Krystal in the doorway, looking ready to burst into tears. She saw him and ran off.
Tad followed and found Krystal sobbing in the secret tunnel. She screamed at him to get out, but Tad refused and wanted to know what was wrong. They argued, and then Krystal became short of breath. Tad lifted her in his arms and headed out of the tunnel."
