"At Ethan's announcement that Michael Cambias's body was missing from his grave, the room fell silent. Bianca was horrified as Ethan accused Ryan of taking the body. Ryan denied knowing anything about it and mentioned that Ethan was less than a truthful guy. Kendall stood up for Ethan and said she believed his story. Erica was disgusted by this. Palmer told Ethan to leave quietly but he demanded to know where his uncle's body was. Ryan said it was buried beneath 50 feet of garbage in the Pine Valley dump. Most of the room snickered at this and Ethan was angry that they found this funny. Erica told him that Michael Cambias was evil and that the good people of Pine Valley wouldn't let him lie in consecrated ground. Ethan ordered Ryan to tell him who did this but Ryan claimed he had no clue. Palmer stepped forward and said he did it and told Ethan to run along. Zach told Ethan to show some respect to the baby cousin they were honoring with this fundraiser. Greenlee realized that the two thousand dollars Ethan had borrowed from her was used to exhume Michael's grave. Ethan said he'd do what ever it took to find out who he is. Bianca stepped up and asked to speak to him alone. She took him into a private room . Zach got in Ryan's face and they argued about Ethan. Zach stormed off and Greenlee joined Ryan. She asked if he was mad that she loaned Ethan the money. Ryan said he would've done the same thing. Greenlee wondered what made Kendall "join the other side." She told Ryan to follow her outside to the gazebo for his daily surprise. When they got outside to a beautifully lit area, Ryan saw a tennis racket and a note. He read the note, which said he had "won" a year's membership to the tennis club at the casino. Ryan was thrilled and asked if they were going to play singles or doubles. Greenlee grinned and said doubles of course because they make such a great team. Inside the casino Kendall started to follow Ryan and Greenlee but Erica stopped her. Erica told her that she was addicted to hurting people who had hurt her, "You need a good belt of payback, but it's never enough." She said what worried her most about Kendall's behavior was what she was about to do to herself. Kendall tried to play it off but Erica was right on the mark. She tried to get away but Erica grabbed her arm and told her not to go, she would only look desperate. Kendall said she was desperate, she had to "save Ryan." Erica told her the game was over. Kendall told her that Ryan thinks he's falling for Greenlee and that she couldn't have him looking at Greenlee the way he used to look at her. Erica asked "You've hatched a plot? How is Bobby Warner involved?." Kendall was surprised that her mother might know about the scheme involving Bobby. Erica said she heard Kendall call Bobby and just put it together. She said she hoped Kendall would realize that if something was meant to be it would happen, without pain. Out in the gazebo Greenlee asked Ryan where her "surprise of the day" was. Ryan admitted that he hadn't purchased anything but he did have something. He walked over to her, put his hand gently behind her head and began kissing her passionately. Greenlee responded by putting her arms around Ryan.

Bianca and Ethan sat down in a private room. He was still very angry and blamed everything on Ryan. Bianca told him not to shred Ryan. She explained how Ryan signed over the entire Cambias estate to Miranda without hesitation. He questioned why Ryan was back in control and Bianca said she forced him to take it all back. Bianca said Ryan was a good guy but the question was, was Ethan? She tried to explain what Michael Cambias did not only to her but to the whole town. Ethan said he does have a conscience and that he has nothing to do with what his uncle did. Bianca said it would never be easy to be a Cambias in this town. Ethan apologized for disrupting the fundraiser and started to leave. Bianca said "Wait! I want to look at your face some more." Ethan asked if he reminded her of Michael. Bianca said no, but maybe she could see her daughter in his face. She studied him but then said she wasn't sure because she'd only seen Miranda for such a short time. Ethan said he was sorry and that it must be so difficult to never see your baby's face again, "although my birth mother seemed to manage it." Bianca smiled and said she sometimes saw Miranda's face in the oddest places. She asked Ethan to stay so she could get to know him better. Ethan said he wouldn't expect anyone to be pleased to have him be there.

Zach and Palmer discussed the casino and Bobby's work there. Palmer was impressed that Bobby had done so well. Palmer started to leave and Zach asked if he wasn't going to take his glass of champagne with him. Palmer looked at the glass on the table and said it wasn't his, it was Ethan's. Then Palmer left. Zach took out a napkin and wrapped it around the glass, taking it with him into his office. He stood in front of a wall with pictures of many of Pine Valley's residents on it. Then he placed a phone call, saying "There's been a change for this evening. Cancel the show. I've got something much more entertaining!."

Babe told JR she was pregnant and JR blurted out "Impossible!" Babe asked if there was something he knew about her body that she didn't. JR back-tracked and said she had just gone off the birth control pill and was surprised that it could happen so quickly. Babe giggled and said she was just a fertile turtle. JR tried to pretend he was happy. Adam and Krystal walked in and Babe told JR to announce their good news. JR could barely choke out the words. Adam wondered if it was a false alarm and Babe said she didn't think so. Adam tried to act thrilled while Krystal said nothing. Babe finally asked her mother what she thought and she pretended to be excited. Adam and JR said they had to get ready for the fundraiser and walked back in the house. Krystal said "I thought you were going to wait until you were sure about JR?" Babe admitted that she was lying to try to catch JR. She said she'd talked to Jamie and was having doubts about JR's honesty. Krystal was not very enthusiastic about the plan and wondered how long she could pretend to be pregnant. Babe admitted she hadn't thought it all out. She said JR was really smart and might figure it out quickly. She said she kept Bess to make him happy but wondered what she should do if he's really the dog everyone says he is. Krystal replied "If it turns out he's bad news, are you prepared to give the baby back to Bianca?" Babe said there would be nothing stopping her from giving Bess back. Krystal reminded her it might mean jail time. Babe said she deserved it but didn't know what she'd say to Bianca. She said she had to get ready to go. Krystal said she was staying home, she didn't trust the nanny with Bess. Adam and JR went into Adam's office and he scanned it for listening devices. When he determined it was all clear he and JR discussed the situation. Adam said he thought JR had been putting birth control pills in Babe's morning juice. JR said he hadn't missed a day. Adam said this would alter their plan a bit. JR said he couldn't stand the thought of Babe incubating his son. Adam's eyes lit up and JR said Babe was sure it was a boy. Adam said first thing they had to do was get Babe to a doctor to find out for real. He told JR to keep his "mask" in place and it would get easier. JR said his game face was cracking. Adam said if they welcomed Adam Chandler the third into the family it would all be worth it. JR smiled and said "A son! Maybe there is an up side!" Adam advised JR to show Babe the time of her life now and then he could enjoy pulling the world out from under her later. JR remarked "I didn't realize there was so much to being a Chandler!" Adam answered "Being us is a full time job!.""
