"Bianca arrives at Kendall's distraught over what JR has done and asks for her help. Kendall is less than sympathetic and tells her no. Bianca is shocked at Kendall's reaction and realizes at that moment just how much animosity Kendall has for Babe. She asks her why and Kendall explains that ever since arriving in Pine Valley, Babe has shown herself to be nothing but a liar and a user. Bianca points out that Kendall doesn't have room to talk, that she too has been known to be guilty of doing both. Sensing there's more, Bianca pushes Kendall to tell her what is really behind her dislike of Babe. Kendall tries to explain that she's concerned for Bianca; her attachment to Bess and her involvement in Babe's life is unhealthy but Bianca won't be swayed. She tells Kendall that she is Bess's godmother and that she will not think badly of Babe, who also had saved her life. Kendall finally breaks down and confesses that the day of Bess's christening she, Ryan, Greenlee, David, and Tad believed that Bess could be Miranda. So much, in fact, that Tad had a DNA test done which later revealed that Bess was Babe's child. Bianca is stunned but won't be dissuaded. She points out to Kendall that her quest to help Ethan is no different then her own quest to help Bess. Realizing she isn't going to convince Bianca to drop it, Kendall relents and agrees to help but only on one condition. That Bianca talks to Zach and gets him to admit that he's really Alexander Cambias Jr, Ethan's father. Bianca is taken aback and asks Kendall where she had gotten such an idea -- and more importantly how she could try to strike such a bargain. Kendall tells her about Ryan's theory and then explains that while she loves Bianca, she could care less about Babe and her marital woes. Although she doesn't understand her sister's reasoning, Bianca agrees to Kendall's bargain. As she is leaving Bianca turns to Kendall and asks her what made her think that Bess could be Miranda that day of the christening. Kendall tells Bianca that she overheard Babe call her Miranda then goes on to tell her that Babe explained it by claiming Miranda was Bess's middle name and that she sometimes called her that.

She tells him about her husband filing for divorce and gaining full custody of her daughter but Kevin is too busy to give her more than token sympathy. He tells her that he'll get in touch with her later then leaves. Upset, Babe leaves as well and ends up at a Llanview nightclub where she runs into a half-drunk Paul Cramer. He tells her to leave and not return to Llanview but Babe, fed up with him and still distraught over everything else, snaps and tells him that she knows that he took her baby and gave him to his sister Kelly. Taking advantage of Paul's momentary silence, Babe forges on, telling him in vivid detail what she has pieced together regarding that night he stole her son. She then tells him that before he rots in hell, she'll make sure he tells everyone what he did and that everyone will know him for the monster that he is. Paul smiles and agrees. He weaves a story about Babe realizing her son had perished in the crash and insisting that he give her Bianca's child. Babe is further shocked when he tells her that everyone will believe him given her history of lies and deceit since arriving in Pine Valley. He goes on to tell her that he'll claim she blackmailed him by refusing the sign the annulment papers if he did not go along with her plan. Babe then points out the one flaw in his story: Ace.
