"Jonathan serves Greenlee and Ryan dinner and the couple jokes about Jonathan's unlikely cooking skills. Jonathan brings out a sizzling rigatoni, and Greenlee and Ryan seem to like the dish. Their meal gets interrupted when Kendall stops by for visit. She immediately starts bashing Greenlee for their loss of $100,000 in cosmetic products. Greenlee admits to her mistake and Ryan seems shocked she didn't tell him. Kendall suggests that Greenlee resign for lying and pay the loss out of her pocket, until Jonathan fesses up. He tells Kendall and Ryan that he made the mistake and he should be the one to get fired. Kendall happily agrees and leaves, with Greenlee trailing behind. When Greenlee goes outside, she tells Kendall that she's not upset about Jonathan's mistake; she is upset about Jonathan rejecting her again in the bedroom. Greenlee even gloats that Ryan is falling in love with her. Kendall tells her to keep dreaming and leaves. Back inside, Jonathan explains to Ryan that he lacks hands on experience and he should leave. Ryan tells him he is not going to fire him because it is one mistake and sometimes with all Fusion's drama, it can be hard to get the job done. Jonathan doesn't want any take-outs. He says that if was at any other workplace, he would be out in a heartbeat. Ryan tells him he isn't at any other place, he is with he and Greenlee's company. Jonathan seems shocked to get a second chance and goes to clean the kitchen. Greenlee comes back inside and finds Ryan sitting alone in the dark. He thanks her for covering for Jonathan and then kisses her on the forehead. When he says Jonathan seemed to act strange, Greenlee informs Ryan about Kendall's attempt to get Jonathan in bed for round two. When Greenlee says she is going to bed, Ryan doesn't move. He says he will up later and continues to sit in the darkness with his thoughts.

Adam asks Brooke why she wants to discuss JR, when Jamie is the one behind bars. At first, Brooke defends Jamie, but then she breaks down, saying that if she had taken Jamie's obsession with Babe more seriously, then he would not have gone to such measures to win her. Adam hugs Brooke with a smile, although Brooke looks as though she is going to be sick in his arms. Mary waltzes in, shopping bags dangling on both arms and when she sees Brooke, she immediately begins to apologize for Jamie's unfortunate lock-up. Adam takes Mary to the side of the room and when they begin to argue, Brooke pulls out a mini-tape recorder from her purse. She tries to find a good spot to put it, but is distracted when Mary leaves and Adam turns his attention back to her. Brooke stuffs the recorder back in her purse and asks Adam if they can go somewhere else more private. Adam takes Brooke to the library and then goes to check on some tea. When he leaves, Brooke tries to find a good spot again, but drops the recorder on the floor behind the desk when Adam comes in. They resume talking about Jamie and Brooke asks him if he could find out anything about Seth's lawyer. Adam agrees and then Mary barges in, reminding him about a party they are going to attend. They begin to argue and Brooke stashes the recorder behind a statue on the bookshelf. Shortly after, she leaves and thanks Adam for his kindness. When she leaves, Adam tells Mary that he knows she is scheming him and wants to see how far she will go. When Mary asks why, he says that he admires Brooke because she will do anything to save and protect Jamie.

Babe tells Jamie that she never meant to lead him on, and Jamie quickly tells her that what is happening to him is not her fault. She should be blaming her husband, not him. Babe tells Jamie that if he going to continue insulting JR, then she is leaving. When she begins to walk away, Jamie asks how Bess is doing. Babe answers that Bess is fine and that JR loves her so much. When Jamie asks Babe if JR shows her that he loves her, she doesn't answer. Jamie rambles on that JR never talks about their future, moving out of the mansion, constantly ignores her, and she usually has to ask for attention. Babe accuses Jamie of stalking her at night, "I mean, how else could he know all of those things?" Jamie says he doesn't have to stalk her because he knows JR and they both know he has changed. He tells her that JR has the "look" back, which means he is scheming revenge on his next prey. His eyes get cold and hard and he looks right through you, not right at you. Babe says that JR would not want to get revenge on her, but Jamie disagrees that after all of the lies she has told him, JR has more than enough to bring her down. Babe still will not accept Jamie's theory and tells him that JR was right about his obsession with her. Jamie tells Babe about the fake emails and that at one time, he could have wrote them, but he didn't. He got over her because he wanted her and JR to be happy. Now he cares about her as a friend and he cares about Bess too. Bess says she will take care of Bess, but Jamie brings up JR again. He tells her that with JR in the way, she won't be in Bess's life at all. Babe tells Jamie that she hopes he can get the help he needs and rushes off. Jamie prays to God that he help Babe before it's too late.

JR is obviously thrown back by seeing Tad at in the padded room. He immediately tries to cover his tracks by saying that he would never throw Babe in there; he just wanted to see how far Adam would go. Tad does not believe JR and offers him a lifeline? a way to be saved before it's too late. "OK Tad, save me then," JR says. Tad tells him that JR is a great person because he was raised by Dixie but can't get any further because JR refuses to talk about Dixie. Then Tad reminds JR of all the horrible things Adam did to Dixie to keep JR away from her. "You have a choice to make," he tells JR. He can either be like Adam or be his own person. JR says he has a great marriage. Tad doubts that and reminds him reading books on divorce law only one week after he was married. Tad tells him that if he didn't frame Jamie, then he can help find the real person who did it. JR does not bite and constantly compares himself to Jamie. JR thinks that Tad never thought of him as a real son because he was not as good as Jamie. Tad tells him that he loves him and Jamie equally; he will always consider JR to be his son. When JR asks Tad what he would do if he was guilty, Tad says he will still be next to JR, supporting him and still loving him. JR does not seem convinced, tells him and Jamie to rot in hell, and leaves.

Tad and Brooke meet in the park. Tad tells Brooke he is proud of her for using the tape recorder and actually hugging Adam. Unfortunately, he thinks it is too late to save JR.

JR is sitting with Bess, telling her how much he loves her. Jamie is in jail, thinking of Babe. Both men have the same horrible vision of JR throwing Babe out of the house, with nothing left but her screams echoing against the walls and fists beating on the door. Then JR goes to pick up Bess, who stops crying, and tells the evil mommy is gone forever."
