"Ryan is frustrated that he still has three more days in the hospital and he wants Greenlee to break him out. She agrees to do so if he can pass her test: get up out of the bed and stand on his own, cross the room to her and undress her. Ryan is up for the challenge, but when he is conscious again, he quickly finds out that when he tried to stand, he passed out. Greenlee champions him for trying, but insists that he has to complete his stay at Pine Valley Hospital.
A few minutes later, Anita pokes her head in to check on him. Seeing them on the floor, she thinks that she may be interrupting. Greenlee quickly clears that misconception up by simply implying that Ryan was trying to be some sort of hero. Understanding completely, Anita helps Greenlee get Ryan back into bed. Once he is all reconnected, Anita insists that he leave the gymnastics for after he gets better, and takes her leave.
Out in the general area, Anita runs into Aidan. She goes into overdrive about how much she wants to buy a house with Bobby. Aidan is skeptical because of her out of place enthusiasm, but she tries to assure him that she is sincere. She asks for his opinion on the houses that she has printouts on, and he picks out a few. He notes positive aspects, but Anita shoots them down. Aidan tells her that he knows what the real problem is.
He says that he doesn't think that she is really ready to buy a house. She insists that it has been her dream for years to plant things in a place that she will be at long enough to see them grow. Aidan doesn't doubt that, but he doesn't believe her when she says that the time is right. He reminds her of a conversation they once had, the "Should-ing All Over Yourself" talk. Basically - there is difference between what you actually want, and what you "should" want because it will make those you love happy.
Anita has been guilty of doing that before, and Aidan wants her to consider everything carefully before diving headfirst into this decision. He looks at the houses once more, and while she stares dreamily at him, picks out one that he believes is perfect for her.
Aidan stops by to visit Ryan and ask some questions, and finds Ryan locked in yet another loving embrace with his wife. Aidan suggests leaving, and Greenlee quickly agrees. Ryan, however, wants to hear the questions. Aidan promises to be brief - but he says they are important, as the answers may help him find Ryan's shooter. Ryan insists that he will be as helpful as he can, but under one condition: when Aidan finds the shooter, Ryan wants one hour alone with him. Aidan agrees. While they hash out theories on how Zach and Ethan could be involved, Greenlee gives Ryan an alcohol rubdown (that she learned about from a documentary). To say the least, her diversionary tactics distract Ryan and Aidan is doing most of the hypothesizing. Eventually he decides to give up, as he can probably reach more viable conclusions without watching the lover's dance in the hospital room.
Once he is gone, Ryan wants Greenlee to lock the door and get in bed with him. She doesn't want to be responsible for ripping his staples out and reminds him that he always says the prize is worth the wait. Agreeing, Ryan notes that he still can't wait to finally consummate their vows.
Greenlee worries aloud that she might smother him - as she has a tendency to go overboard sometimes. She makes him promise that he will tell her if she is getting out of control - but Ryan can't imagine that ever happening.
At the Frye apartment, Reggie and Dani are pretending to work on the mystery surrounding Babe's side trip to Llanview. Derek walks into the living room and clears his throat to stop them from kissing. He declares that it is his day off, and he plans on relaxing and working on his model boat. Unfortunately, the knock at the door interrupts everything.
Dani opens the door and JR comes barging in. He demands that Derek arrest David for kidnapping his father. Derek wants proof but all JR has is David's taunting and suspicions that David might be telling the truth. At the very least, JR wants Derek to question David.
Before he goes to do so, Derek asks JR some questions about Adam's disappearance. After finding out that he vanished the same night that Ryan was shot, he notes that it is possible that Adam was involved in the shooting and then disappeared. JR thinks it is preposterous, and that Derek is intentionally trying to shirk his duties as an officer of the law.
Derek finally agrees to take time on his day off to do JR's bidding. JR says that he wants to go along, but Derek insists that he stay away. As a compromise, JR insists on staying at the Frye apartment until Derek returns with answers. Reggie and Dani are more than happy to keep him company.
With the chief gone, Reggie taunts JR by asking questions about being an EWG - an Entitled White Guy. JR pretends to be clueless - but Reggie lays it out for him. JR makes demands and expects everyone to be at his beck and call...he can tell people to go to hell - without actually saying the words. JR continues to blow him off so Reggie tries to get down to business.
Reggie tells JR that he wants to take Dani someplace nice - between Pine Valley and Llanview. His hope is that any and all information that JR may divulge will shed some light on Babe's trip and help them figure out the whole truth.
At the hospital, David deduces that Kelly did not have her baby in the hospitals in Pine Valley or Llanview. Krystal thinks this is a solid lead, but David said that there are too many variables that could be introduced. They need more than Babe's intuition to ascertain Ace's true parentage. Suddenly, Krystal looks pale, and she says she doesn't feel well. She passes out and David catches her.
Krystal wants to leave but, intimating that the stress of everything that is going on as the cause, David wants to keep her there. Krystal admits that she still blames herself and that she wishes they could all go back to before the wheels of deception were set in motion.
Just then, the door to David's office opens, and a man walks in. After greeting each other, David introduces the man as Gilly McMinn, and says he may be their savior. Gilly had once been a patient of David's whose heart had stopped 4 times on the table. David saved him, and Gilly is forever indebted - and will do anything he can to help. David gives him the paperwork on Ace and Kelly and asks him to do a search throughout the nation to see if Kelly had a baby anywhere during the floods a few months back. He agrees to do so and takes his leave.
Krystal then calls the Chandler House to speak to Babe and finds out that she is over at Tad's house. Visibly upset, she worries that without a support system, Babe may slip up and reveal the secret to Tad. Krystal gets ready to take off when David says he is going with her. Krystal doesn't even bother protesting, but as they start to leave, Derek Frye shows up with questions for David.
Krystal can't wait for David, so she heads over to Tad's alone. When she is gone, Derek tells him that JR has filled him in about David's bragging regarding being involved in Adam's kidnapping. Derek needs to know if there is any truth to it, and initially David says that he is guilty. After waiting a moment to let that sink in, he clarifies. David says that he is guilty only of taunting JR and that he really has no idea where Adam is. David goes on to say that the law has failed to keep Babe safe: JR drugs Babe and the charges don't stick; JR kidnaps the baby and no punishment is handed down. JR is not afraid of the law - and that gives him more time to torture Babe.
When David heard that Adam was missing, he decided that he would try using the disappearance as a way to torture JR. David points out that since he started trying to rattle JR's cage, JR hasn't been bothering Babe - and that's exactly what David wants most.
Satisfied with his answers, Derek heads home to enjoy the rest of his day off. When he gets back to his apartment, he tells JR that there is no news to impart. JR swears that David gave him details and that should be enough proof to lock David up. Derek doesn't agree - simply because there needs to be hard evidence to back up the claim.
Angered, JR says that he will get the FBI involved. He insists that Derek can do more than he is, but because he chooses not to, his badge is one the line. Unafraid, Derek invites him to take whatever means necessary to find his father. He blows off JR's attempts at threats as JR leaves, and he and Reggie briefly bond over how Derek handled the situation. Dani looks on disbelieving, and teases them for it even though they try in vain to deny what happened.
Babe, having been called over, arrives at Tad's place to find out what he needs. Tad proceeds to get down on one knee, which startles Babe. She thinks he is kidding and tells him that while flattered, Krystal would be upset if she accepted his proposal. Tad, still very serious, offers her a ring box. Unsure of what to do, Babe asks what is inside. Tad tells her that he is offering her anything that she wants, anything in the world - if she would just tell him the big secret between her and her mother.
Tad confesses that all he wants to do is marry Krystal and make Babe his stepdaughter. Babe is all for it, but Tad says that there is a problem. For a reason unbeknownst to him, Krystal will not say yes to his proposal. The only reason he can come up that would explain her reaction is that she really doesn't love him.
Babe assuages his fears, and tells him that Krystal really does love him. Tad is still unsure, and asks about David's involvement. He admits that it drives him crazy that David is the one that is in on the secret, but Babe insists that there are reasons. Tad really doesn't care what the secret is or the reasons why they won't tell him. All he knows is that there is nothing in this world that could make him change how he feels about Krystal and he will do anything, give Babe anything to find out how to break through the barricade over Krystal's heart.
Krystal shows up and lays into Tad for trying to pump information out of Babe. Tad wryly admits that he was actually trying to bribe her, but Krystal doesn't see the amusement. She says that she gave Tad an answer - but he tells her that what she gave him wasn't good enough. She informs him that he wouldn't get any other answer from her until she was ready. She doesn't want or need his help and he needs to stop sticking his nose in where it didn't belong. He tells her that she should have known that he was going to try anything possible to get her to just say yes.
Moments later, David shows up. Having finished his chat with Derek, he needs to speak to Krystal and Babe. Tad watches them exchange another secret glance and demands to know what is going on. No one's giving in, however, and one by one they file out of the Martin house, leaving Tad alone with his frustrations.
Back at the hospital, David reveals that there is no record of Kelly giving birth to Ace anywhere in the country. Babe is ready to celebrate, but David warns that it is just the first step. They still need more concrete evidence. Just then, Anita comes in to deliver some more test results. As she lays them down, she sees the file with Kelly's picture on it. She says "Mrs. Heinz" out loud, and this puzzles the other room occupants.
David asks Anita if she knows the woman in the picture, and Anita confirms that she does. She said that she was a patient in the hospital a few months back, right before the flooding. David asks what floor she was on, but Anita is concerned about breaking doctor/patient confidentiality in front of Krystal and Babe. David tells her that it's okay because the case may involve fraud and the police may have to be notified. He implores her to tell him everything that she knows about the woman in the picture.
Anita tells them that it was a sad case because "Mrs. Heinz" had a stillborn baby. Babe and Krystal stare at Anita as the words come out of her mouth, too shocked to react."
