"At the Chandler mansion, Reggie and Maggie tell everyone (Adam, JR, Brooke, Tad and Jamie) that Lily overheard Adam and JR talking at the groundbreaking ceremony. Lily heard something incriminating, according to Reggie, and everyone needs to hear it. Jamie insists that Babe be present, moments before she walks back into the living room, wearing a red sweater.

Fearing what Lily could say, Adam becomes overly argumentative and JR follows his lead. They bait all the other "trespassers" into heated arguments. Between the red sweater and the noise being created, Lily starts to get anxious and counts down to try to alleviate her panic. Babe tries to help by telling Lily that she remembers them talking and reminding her that the baby was fine. She also takes off the sweater. Knowing that they have set in motion a diversionary tactic, Adam and JR continue to make the situation escalate.

Finally, Lily sinks to the floor and screams for everyone to stop talking. Instead of abiding by her wishes, JR puts the sweater back around Babe's shoulders and Adam exacerbates her anxiety by continuing to talk in close proximity. Then, Adam tries to touch her. Lily loses what control she has left and she screams and runs out of the house. Reggie and Maggie start to go after her, but before they leave, Reggie turns around and repeats what Lily heard: "Whatever else I have to do, I'm getting Babe out of my life. She's lost that baby." Asking if that sounds familiar, Reggie shoots an angry parting glance and he and Maggie take off. Babe turns a wary eye towards her "devoted" husband.

Adam and JR try to sound as if they are really worried about Lily, and make out the confrontation fiasco as another desperate ploy by Jamie to prove that he didn't drug Babe. Brooke and Tad aren't having any of it, because they know that Lily can't lie, and Reggie wouldn't. Jamie begs Babe to believe that what she heard was the truth. Instead of complying, she orders Jamie and his parents out. She warns them that if they don't stop harassing her, she will call the police and get a restraining order.

Once they leave (with Adam trailing to make sure they do leave instead of lurking around and spying), Babe confirms to JR that she will do anything to keep them away from her because they won't stop trying to split them up. JR ignores her pledges to stay by his side because he really wants to know why Lily would think there was something wrong with the baby.

Babe brushes the question aside and offers to give JR a massage to relieve his tension over what had just happened. Before she can make a romantic thing out of it, JR tells her that he has a headache.

Meanwhile, in the walls, David and Krystal face off. David is hell bent on saving Babe from JR but Krystal is reluctant to believe that JR is anything but loving and devoted. David tells her that he plans on hiding in the secret tunnels until he has something that can prove JR's position one way or another. He can't do it without Krystal's help but she is initially unwilling. She accuses David of trying to make everyone as miserable as he is, and she threatens to tell everyone his plan. David warns her that if she does, he will tell everyone the truth about MiraBess.

Krystal flips out and goes through her regular spiel about David not being a good father because he would rip Babe's heart out and tear her to shreds if he took the baby away from her. David responds that he is trying to save her life - not destroy it. He is certain that if JR is following in Adam's footsteps, he will take everything that matters to Babe away from her - and then he will shut her out of the life he has created for he and the baby. He goes on to say that if he revealed the truth about the baby, he would tell everyone that he alone knew the truth and opted to hide it. Krystal tells him everyone would hate him for that, but David notes that it's nothing new. Krystal tells him that Bianca still loves him and stands by him - and that he should not put himself in a position where he would single-handedly save one daughter, while decimating the "other."

Krystal still wants to believe in JR, but backs down a bit when she realizes how much David is willing to sacrifice for Babe. She tells him that if he is right about JR, and JR is really pretending, there is no way that he can save Babe. David reminds her that even though Krystal kept the secret about the baby, when Babe found out, she survived. Working together, they can help her get through anything.

Krystal agrees to help him, and heads out into the main house to get a pillow and blanket. She runs into Babe, fresh from the confrontation, and tries to comfort her. Babe says that she is fine - and that she lets JR's insults and hateful words just roll off of her. She tells Krystal that love doesn't come close to describing what she feels for JR - and that she would die for him.

Visibly concerned (especially armed with the knowledge she got from David), Krystal suggests they have a heart to heart, but Babe is en route to get medication for JR's headache. She goes back into the living room and tells JR that she really meant "till death do us part" when she married him. To solidify that promise, Babe suggests they go work on making a new baby. Stoically, JR agrees.

At the Valley Inn, Bobby and Anita reconnect in their hotel room. Moments later, Bobby's cell phone rings, and fearing that it's Zach on the other end, takes the call. It's actually Kendall, and she informs him that she has the $200,000 and she is sitting in the hotel restaurant. Bobby starts to blow her off, but Kendall threatens to tell Anita what he's considering and why. Bobby agrees to meet with her.

He gets off the phone and apologizes for being called away, but tells her that it's a client. Guilt written all over his face, Bobby appears to want to do anything BUT meet with Kendall. Reluctantly he goes, but with promises of something sweet when he returns.

He meets Kendall, and she tells him that the job of bedding Greenlee should be easy. According to Kendall, Greenlee's been living like a nun, and is ripe for some action. Bobby thinks that there is genuine love involved (Greenlee's for Ryan) and that the "job" might not be as easy as it looks. Kendall continues to taunt him about needing the money, and Bobby gets irritated at her insinuations. He calls off the deal, saying that he could probably get the money from Greenlee (with the knowledge he has about Kendall's scheme) with much less grief that he is getting from Kendall.

At first, Kendall stalls, but then, believing she knows Greenlee's mind, offers her cell phone to Bobby. Instead of taking the phone and placing the call, Bobby says he is considering his options. Disbelieving, Kendall just urges him to just take the deal. Just then, Anita walks in, and Bobby thinks he is caught.

Kendall jumps in and says that they are silent business partners, but she doesn't do a great job of being quiet. She invites Anita to join them in their celebration of their business deal, but Anita has been called to the hospital for help in the ER. As a show of complete trust, Anita is fine leaving Bobby to meet with Kendall after she is gone.

Before she leaves, a note is delivered to Bobby which says, "Time's running out. Replace the money tonight or lose everything. He plays it off as nothing to Anita and sends her on her way. After she is gone, Kendall reminds him that she will blow the cover off their "agreement", so he confirms the deal.

Back at his apartment, Jamie is frustrated and wants to know what their next move is. Brooke tries to talk him out of it, but both Jamie and Tad remind her that when doing what she believes, nothing stops Brooke from getting what she wants. Recognizing that same trait in her son, Brooke agrees that it would be best to support Jamie rather than go against him.

Jamie confesses that David is hiding out in the tunnels of the Chandler mansion (and he is responsible for Jamie being discovered). Although the alliance is pretty close to unholy, Tad and Brooke agree that it would be good for David to be the eyes and ears, as it would keep Jamie out of trouble. They also agree that it seems JR really has become Adam Jr. They note that they know have to play the game the Chandler way - no rules at all.

Reggie and Maggie arrive at the park, still looking for Lily. As they run off to a different part of the park to find her, Lily emerges from behind some bushes. The voices are still loud and conflicting in her head, but they are slowly fading away. Just when she has herself convinced that everything is okay, she needn't be scared, and she should call out to Reggie, a red light starts flashing. She gets anxious and scared again, just as headlights flash on her face and car breaks squeal to avoid hitting her."
