"Bianca and Zach spoke after the dedication ceremony. She questioned his motive for donating money to the center. He boiled it down to good business but she thought there was more to it. Zach said that her words had moved him and that he too had lost someone who needed him. Bianca visibly relaxed and Zach said he hadn't really dealt with the loss yet, or the feeling that he should've done more for this person. Bianca said she could understand. He said maybe he was trying to find absolution. Bianca thanked him for sharing but said it still didn't explain his fascination with her mother or sister. Zach said he met Erica in Vega and that she was beautiful, funny and terribly sad. He said she had spoke about Bianca, Kendall and Miranda and that she loved them all very much. He said he met Kendall when she was looking for Erica and that was all there was to them. Bianca asked if he followed Kendall to Pine Valley. Zach said he was on his way to a new casino and Pine Valley was just a convenient place to stop. But that now it felt like there was a reason for him to have stopped here. He said that when he heard Bianca speak at the dedication she touched him and he wasn't easily touched anymore. He started to leave but Bianca stopped him and said he was welcome to work with them for the sake of the center and the sake of whoever is missing in his life. She went back to find her friends.
Ryan continued questioning Maria about her relationship with Zach. She admitted that they were lovers, but that was a lifetime ago. Ryan pushed for more information and called Zach a jerk, which ruffled Maria's feathers. She got defensive when she told Ryan he was digging into her life. He said he wouldn't do it if it wasn't important. Maria finally told Ryan how she and Zach met, he had picked her up outside Vegas when she was hitchhiking. She said that the second they met "It was electric, it was beautiful and we never spent another minute apart." But then she explained that it made David crazy that she was involved with someone and he made up the story about her killing someone. She believed David and so she ran away from Zach without an explanation. Ryan said Zach was there to win Maria back but she said no, that he knows she's Maria not Maureen now. Ryan asked how Edmund felt and Maria said she hadn't told him anything. Ryan said he'd run a background check on Zach and came up with absolutely nothing and that it freaked him out. He wanted more dirt on Zach but Maria said they had made a pact not to discuss their pasts. Ryan said she had thought she had a reason to keep quiet but wondered what Zach's reason was. Maria said Zach was a decent person and there was no reason not to trust him. Ryan still didn't agree with her and walked away. Maria started to return to the dedication site but found Zach standing in her way. He told her they didn't have to work together on the foundation board, they could do it by fax and email. Maria thanked him and said she was ok with working with him just as long as he understood how "I feel or don't feel." Zach said she had made it perfectly clear. Maria went on her way.
At the groundbreaking site everyone but JR and Adam stood in horror as Lt. Perry arrested Jamie. Reggie told the cop he had the wrong guy as he tried to lead Jamie away. Tad stopped him and the cop threatened obstruction of justice. Lt. Perry said they had a sworn statement from Seth the drug dealer that Jamie bought drugs from him to "get a lady friend in the mood." Jamie yelled at JR that he was turning into Adam as the crowd went wild. The cop led Jamie away and Tad said he'd meet him at the station. Krystal told Tad she knows he loves both boys but that she has to look out for Babe. "I'll be praying for Jamie" and walked towards Babe as Brooke joined Tad. She was livid and demanded that Tad tell her everything he knew. Tad began to tell her what had been happening. Reggie went over to Lily and Jack. Jack told Reggie not to be a street hero when Reggie said he had to help Jamie. Reggie agreed then went to where Danielle and Maggie were talking. They discussed how JR bought Seth. After hearing everything Tad had to say, Brooke was concerned that Jamie might be guilty because he still loved Babe. Tad said sadly "Either way, I lose a son." He and Brooke left for the jail. Babe walked up to David and asked for an apology because he was wrong about JR. JR joined them and David told him his wife had such a sweet soul and wondered what they did to deserve it. He then said he wouldn't apologize. JR turned to Babe and said as long as she knew the truth he didn't care what anyone else said. He led her away to take her back home. Krystal told David to just admit he was wrong. David said he wished he was wrong. Krystal said "You just saw which boy got arrested!" David replied "How difficult do you think it is for a Chandler to get around the law?" Bianca joined Maggie, Danielle and Reggie. Reggie told them they would have to take down JR themselves and they left together. Maria returned and found Edmund. They kissed and decided to go home. Zach watched as they left happily. Adam, Opal, Palmer and Joe all began arguing about which boy was the guilty one. Adam and Palmer sided with JR, Joe and Opal believed in Jamie. Joe pointed out that JR had a drug history and Jamie didn't. He and Opal walked away from Palmer and Adam.
Kendall ran into Ryan and asked if he had seen her "guest." Ryan said no and then asked if she found him to be smug. Kendall said no and began to walk away. Ryan stopped her and said he had to tell her something that she needed to hear. Kendall listened as Ryan said that Zach came to Pine Valley for a reason and that there was guaranteed fallout for people he loved, "and you'll regret your role in it." Kendall asked "Do you think I brought him here to spite you?." Ryan just snarled "Consider this fair warning. Remember all the lives you destroyed with the last man you brought into town." He left Kendall standing in shock.
In Lt. Perry's office Livia and Jamie sat at the desk across from him with Tad and Brooke standing behind them. Livia argued that the cops were believing a known drug dealer over a kid with no record. She demanded the cuffs be removed but the cop refused, saying they had a search warrant and found a bag of drugs in Jamie's apartment. Livia asked if they had fingerprints and the Lt. said forensics was working on it. Livia asked Jamie if he had friends over, if he had a landlord with a key, if he had a roommate. Jamie answered yes and Livia said there was reasonable doubt. Tad told him to take the cuffs off and Lt. Perry stood up and said there was one more detail to look into. He took Jamie out of the room. When Lt. Perry returned Derek Frye was with him. Livia tried to get him to let Jamie go but he handed Tad a stack of papers, saying "This was on Jamie's computer." Tad looked at the stack and said "Oh my God!"
In his cell Jamie sat on the bed looking lost. David walked up to the bars and Jamie told him to go away. David said he was there to help prove JR put the gun in Jamie's hand and pulled the trigger.
At the Chandler mansion Babe and JR sat down in the living room. She was very upset and wondered how she could've missed the signs about Jamie. JR pretended to be upset too and said he didn't see it either. He claimed that Jamie was obsessed with Babe and wanted her so he could "best his big brother." She felt bad because she could usually trust her instincts about people, and said she didn't want to be a person who couldn't trust others. JR said he would help her get that back eventually. "You trust me right?" he asked. Babe snuggled against him and said "With my whole heart and soul." She went to see Bess and Adam came in. He and JR discussed the plan they had and Adam said he was impressed with JR.
Maggie, Bianca, Danielle and Reggie went to Maggie's apartment. When they went in they found the police had been there searching for something. One cop was still carrying something out and told Danielle to leave before her father found out where she was. She went outside with him and got information from him as the other 3 started picking up the apartment. They argued more about who was guilty, with Bianca being the only JR defender. Danielle returned and told them the cop told her they had found a "stash", the same pills that got Babe sick. Maggie wouldn't believe that they were Jamie's and Bianca stuck up for JR. She said they had sworn not to become like their parents and she was sure JR would never stoop to this. Reggie and Danielle said the drugs had to have been planted by JR. Maggie was horrified, "Last night we let him in to wait for Jamie!." Bianca said he was never alone. Maggie asked where the drugs were found and Danielle said stuffed between the sofa cushions. Maggie said "Right where JR sat!." Bianca still tried to defend JR but Reggie told her she was just too sweet. Maggie wondered why they took Jamie's computer too."
