"As he returns to his cabin, David is on the phone trying to put a rush on his latest set of DNA results. Almost immediately after he finishes his call, JR shows up and demands to know the truth about what Krystal is hiding. David refuses to budge, but JR wants to know what Krystal will get if David keeps her secret. David continues to put him off, hoping that he would give up and leave.
Not easily swayed, JR keeps up the verbal jabbing, finally resorting to a topic he knows David will respond to: Leora. JR starts to rant about how David is just jealous and wants revenge because while "Bess" survived, David's daughter didn't. Hitting its mark, David's temper flares. David threatens to tell the whole truth, and acknowledges that the truth would show JR more pain and revenge than he could ever imagine. JR unflinchingly challenges David to spill the secrets. However, after a moment where David recalls some things said at the infamous party, he decides to keep the secrets for now.
Infuriated, JR tells David that it doesn't matter if he is Babe's father or not - he is to stay away from him, his house, and his baby. Barely containing his rage, David shoots back a jab or two before JR takes off.
Back in town, Krystal and Babe have a heart to heart in the park. Krystal says that she will bear the brunt of the fallout once David reveals the truth about the baby. Babe, visibly upset, doesn't want her mother to have to stand alone. Krystal then tells her that they can't hurt her if they can't find her - she is planning to leave town before the truth comes out. Krystal feels it's important that Babe to act as shocked as everyone else and that she must stick to the story once Krystal is gone. By doing so, she can keep her marriage to JR intact.
Babe tells Krystal that she is the best and bravest person that she knows for being willing to give up everything that she has in Pine Valley for her. Krystal responds that there really is no choice - she will do anything to protect the love and life Babe has found with JR. A love like that, Krystal says, you have to protect at all costs. Babe asks how, if that's true, she can leave Tad behind.
Krystal tells her that she doesn't have a choice in that either - and that after the truth is revealed, Tad will hate her more than anyone else. Knowing that it will be best for everyone, Krystal stands firm in her resolve. They decide to head back to the house so that Krystal can start packing.
When they arrive, Babe makes a beeline for the safe and drags Krystal with her. She says that because Krystal is being so selfless and is giving up so much, she wants to help her to get started. As Babe is pulling a pile of money out of the safe, JR walks in and makes a quip about needing to see identification before allowing a withdrawal like that.
Erica pours a drink, but before she can ingest it, there is a knock at the door. She finds Bianca on the other side, intent on having an open and honest conversation. After telling her that she is glad to have her home, Bianca learns from Erica that she may have never come back from Vegas if it hasn't been for Ryan. Bianca wants to talk about the reasons that caused that, no matter how painful. Erica tells her that no one in Pine Valley really needed her - and that Bianca made that clear shortly before Erica left. Bianca admits that she pushed Erica away, but reminded her that when she stole the baby, and her mind was breaking - the first person she wanted to see was her mother. She wanted to go someplace safe, where the baby would be safe and she wanted to baby to meet her. The only problem was that when Bianca came looking, Erica was nowhere to be found.
Erica apologizes for all of the pain that Bianca had to go through, and for leaving her alone with that pain. She starts to say that if she had one wish, she would bring Miranda back, but Bianca stops her. Bianca says that things like that are so easy to say and so impossible to do. Instead, Bianca tries to explain what the pain was like, and how going to therapy has helped her deal with the pain.
Almost as if she can't deal with that, Erica repeats how she stayed in Vegas because she was shut out. Bianca tells her that she did that to herself. She shocks Erica by then telling her that besides the fact that she was not drunk - at the moment - nothing had really changed with Erica since she left.
Bianca says that Erica never hears what people are actually saying to her - she only hears what she wants. Erica interrupts and says that Bianca has it all wrong - and that she does hear. The thing that she hears loudest of all from her and Jack is how she disappointed them - and now that she is back, she's an even bigger disappointment.
Bianca suggests that since it had been so helpful for her, Erica should consider seeking therapy. Absolutely sure that she isn't in need of such things (because she shouldn't have to pay someone to tell her how she feels), Erica refuses. Frustrated, Bianca walks out. Once alone, Erica is drawn back to the drink she poured. She picks it up and contemplates drinking it, but then suddenly turns and smashes it against the wall.
Over at Fusion, Ryan calls Kendall on her outrageous behavior, towards Greenlee and in general. Greenlee tries to blow it off and dismiss the whole situation, by Ryan is not giving up. He wants to know if Kendall intends to keep up the high level of hostility. Greenlee, ever supportive, leaves the room so that Ryan and Kendall can work everything out on their own.
When she leaves, Kendall tells him that she won't keep up the heated atmosphere - because she can't take it anymore. Ryan tells her that it doesn't really matter what she feels because that won't change the way things are.
Just then, George Milligan (Head Counsel at Cambias) walks in and asks if Ryan and Kendall intend to make a habit of jetting off to Vegas and locking themselves in a hotel room together. Ryan wants to know what he wants and why he has been spying. Kendall starts to explain that they were out there to help her mother but Ryan says that she doesn't own him anything.
Milligan gives a line about how he is following up on the investigation by the SEC, and he swears he is looking out for Mrs. Lavery's best interest but Ryan doesn't buy it. When Milligan starts to argue with him, Ryan threatens to fire him. Milligan returns the threat by saying that Ryan shouldn't do that. Ryan counters by saying that he has more than enough ammo to fire him without much trouble at all, and escorts him out.
Alone again, Kendall says that she will keep their secret but can't handle seeing their marriage every day. Her solution is to quit. Ryan, disbelieving, doesn't think that will solve anything. Kendall informs him that she intends to not only leave Fusion, but also leave Pine Valley altogether. She will sign her shares over to Greenlee (since she has everything anyway). She tells Ryan that just like he had to clear out the chaos in his life, she has to do the same thing.
Greenlee comes back into the room, and Kendall informs her of the news of her impending departure. Then, Ryan gets a phone call, and asks Kendall not to leave yet. Once he is gone, Greenlee questions Kendall's sincerity. Admitting that honesty must be refreshing for Greenlee, Kendall attacks her once again by saying that she knows Greenlee is in the marriage for more than business. Greenlee thinks a moment, and then admits that she hopes Ryan will fall in love with her. Ryan walks in just as Kendall tells Greenlee that she knew her plan all along.
Kendall takes off, but not before telling Ryan that she hopes they understand why she isn't wishing them a long and happy life together. The elevator arrives and Kendall is gone. Stunned, Ryan stands in the empty foyer. Coming up behind him - Greenlee asks him to be honest: he doesn't really want Kendall to go, does he?
On the bottom floor, as Kendall exits the elevator, she runs into a handsome guy, which causes her to drop her box of things from the office. She blames him, but he says she wasn't exactly looking where she was going. He then says he is looking for someone and is hoping she can help. Before he can finish asking, Kendall says she knows he is looking for Ryan.
Back at the cabin - David receives the faxed results from the DNA lab."
