"Jamie calls Reggie, Danielle, and Maggie to visit him at the hospital. Thinking he's bored, they arrive bearing good cheer and smuggled chocolate chip cookies. Instead, Jamie wants them to smuggle something out - him. Jamie tells his friends that Babe is suspicious of JR, and he is afraid for her to go after him by herself. Jamie asks them to help him help Babe. "No," Maggie exclaims, "She made her double espresso. She can wake up and smell it all by herself." Everyone tries to convince Jamie he's not up to playing hero right now. After all, he just had his guts sliced out. Dani sees things differently and chimes in it's the perfect time. Think of the romance factor, a wounded Jamie rescuing his princess. Reggie still says Jamie is not up to a rescue so he will do it himself. Reggie asks Dani if she's up for another round of punking. She agrees so long as she's not the target and doesn't have to wear funny clothes. Maggie stays to make sure Jamie doesn't try to take off. Instead he convinces her to help him. She goes to get his shoes. Before Jamie and Maggie can make their get away, Reggie and Dani return wearing doctor's coats. Dani proclaims that as many people as she's been able to save, Jamie was just beyond her skills. They cover Jamie with a sheet like a corpse. Maggie walks along side wailing like a grieving widow as they wheel Jamie toward the morgue, or the nearest exit - whichever comes first.
Edmund finds Maria in the room full of candles Zach had prepared for her. He confronts her about Zach, and she realizes he knows about their past. Indeed, she says that's why she had not told him, because it is the past and means nothing to her any more. Angrily Edmund demands she stop lying to him. He just saw Zach leave the room. Maria wants to go somewhere else to talk about it. "Why? Too many memories?" Edmund snaps. That's a good thing to him. Maybe it will help him get to the truth. Edmund asks Maria to look him in the eye and tell him she doesn't want to have sex with Zach. She can't because she does and admits it to Edmund. But it's Edmund she loves she tells him. So she didn't go through with it because of him, Edmund thinks. "No," Maria tells him, "I almost went through with it because of you." We don't even sleep in the same bed any more, she tells him, and it's not just the sex she misses. It's the intimacy, the holding, the laughter and pillow talk. Edmund says that's not enough for him. If he can't make love to her the way he used to, he says he can't settle for just holding her. "What are we going to do?" Maria pleads. "You have no idea what it's like," Edmund tells her. "I have no idea because you never tell me anything," Maria reminds him. Maria begs Edmund to share with her, to give her a reason not to walk out the door. She accuses him of being so holed up in that chair he no longer cares about her feelings. Maria pleads for Edmund to come back to her. He says he can't. So she asks him to let her come to him instead. She wants to recapture their love no matter what it takes. Finally Edmund reaches out to her. Maria comes forward. Edmund caresses her face and they share a tender kiss. As they hug one another, Edmund tells Maria how much he's missed her.

Babe leaves Bianca alone with Zach to further discuss their plan and the reasons behind it. Bianca gets him to go along with it, not just for her sake but for Miranda's as well. After all, without Babe, Bianca might never have gotten to hold Miranda at all.
Babe finds JR and acts tipsy. She says she's only had two drinks while holding up three fingers. Besides, it's okay since they found out she's not pregnant after all. She asks JR not to be mad at her for drinking and for not being pregnant. JR swears he's not upset with her. He suggests he take her upstairs to make love. Babe turns him down saying she'd rather stay and party some more.
Babe and Bianca take a suite. Bianca calls room service and asks them to hurry. "Mrs. Chandler needs it right away," she tells the steward. While they wait, David rings the room with test results for Babe. The same birth control pills that were in the orange juice were also in her blood.

Ethan arrives at the door of the VIP room. The door guard tells him he's not on the list. Adam steps forward and assures him it's merely and oversight. Ethan is his guest. Adam invites Ethan to his table, gets him a drink, and begins buttering him up as only Adam can. Flattery aside, Ethan wants to know Adam's real motives and why he is so willing to help him prove his lineage. Even though he doesn't get a straight answer, Ethan refuses Adam's help and tells him he won't help him get Chandler Enterprises back from Cambias either if that's what he had in mind. Ethan politely thanks Adam for the drink and takes his leave. JR, too, is curious as to what Adam has in mind. Adam tells him if they help Ethan prove his identity then he will have to help them get Chandler Enterprises back or else he will be very, very sorry. Zach saunters into the room interrupting the father and son confabulation. He tells JR that if he had a beautiful wife waiting for him upstairs in their best suite with a thousand dollar bottle of their finest champagne, he wouldn't be sitting in the VIP room shooting the breeze. JR's eyes light up at this news. He can't believe he's getting this lucky. He promises Zach to go upstairs and check things out. JR and Adam ease the door to the suite open expecting to find Babe in bed with another man. Instead they find Babe and Bianca naked beneath the covers lip locked in a lover's embrace.
While looking for Bianca, Ethan runs into Zach. Going into protective mode, Zach comments about him being Bianca's guest. Recognition comes over Ethan's face as he realizes Zach is the man he saw in the cemetery while searching for his uncle's grave. He wants to know why he was there. Zach suggests he's asking the wrong question, "Why would I care?" Ethan still wants to know why he was there. Zach tells him he was just visiting the grave of a friend. The tension in the air causes Ethan to ask Zach if he wants him to leave the party. No, Zach wants Ethan to stay and promises a killer of an ending."
