"Bianca goes to Tad's place to talk to him about the DNA test that he performed on MiraBess. In talking, they revisit how she took MiraBess from the hospital because every voice in her screamed that the baby was hers. She said that everyone but Tad thought that she was crazy.
She goes on to tell Tad that she had to let herself believe that the baby was hers at first. She feels that if she had accepted her child's death right away, she really would have gone crazy. Tad understands completely, as he let himself believe for a long time that Dixie and his child weren't dead. He said that there was no body - so therefore, there was no proof. He clung to the hope that one day she would just walk into the house, their baby in her arms, and they would laugh at the mistake that had been made.
Tad stops in the recounting of his story because he sees a look on Bianca's face. He can tell that there is something more that she needs to say. When asked, Bianca takes a moment to choose her words and then tells him that since the accident, she had let herself believe that Babe had mistakenly been given her daughter.
She goes on to tell Tad that if anyone else had done the DNA test but he and his father, she would probably still believe to this day that Miranda was alive. However, because she trusts them and believes that there wasn't an opportunity for anyone to tamper with the tests, she has to accept the fact that Miranda is really gone.
They wrap up their conversation, as Bianca says that she needs to go unpack. Tad mistakenly thinks that she moved again, but Bianca corrects him by saying that she has been living out of boxes since Miranda died. She realizes that now it is time to move on with her life - without her daughter. Tad offers up his son as someone who will help her get things settled in her new place, but Bianca thinks Jamie has enough on his mind. They agree, and she takes her leave.
At the Chandler mansion, Brooke holds a gun trained on Adam in his bedroom. Adam refuses to take her threats of shooting him seriously. He tells her that force isn't necessary to get his attention and invites her to join him between the sheets.
Downstairs in the living room, Kendall tells JR that she supports him in his decision to fight for sole custody of MiraBess. She tells him that she knows where he is coming from, and believes that the baby belongs with him. She tells him that if he needs someone to count on, he can call on her. He thought that Adam was his only ally but she tells him that if he needs a friend, she will be there. He asks about what would happen if he needed more than a friend.
Back in the bedroom, Brooke reminds Adam that she has killed a man before - but he returns the favor and says that she was acquitted of the charges. She admits the only reason she went free is because her actions were in defense of her child against a horrible man - and she is doing the same thing now. She demands that he hand over the disc that implicates Jamie in the murder plot against JR.
Back in the living room, Kendall turns JR down, and he manages to accept it with grace - for the moment. He reminds her about the crush he had on her a few years ago. She remembers that time, and she remembers the kiss. He tells her that he knew what he wanted then - and he knows what he wants now. He confesses that at the time, he found out that it was her birthday and he bought her two dozen yellow roses. She doesn't remember them and he explains that he never gave them to her. He had every intention of delivering them, but when he showed up at her apartment, he saw her through the window, kissing Aidan. He threw the flowers in the dumpster because he didn't think he stood a chance. Now, however, he doesn't think Aidan could hold a candle to him.
JR closes the physical gap between the two and Kendall gets more and more nervous. He tells her that she smells good and tries to lure her into being seduced. She tries to reject his advances but fails miserably, and gives into the kiss.
Meanwhile, Brooke's hostage session is interrupted by a phone call. Having just said goodbye to Bianca, Tad wanted to check up on her. She tries to tell him that it isn't a good time and leave it at that, but Tad is not so easily dismissed. She finally admits where she is and what she is doing, and abruptly ends the call. As she tucks her phone back in her purse, she tries to convince Adam to hurry up and hand over the disc.
Just then, Mary walks into the bedroom, seduction on her mind. When she turns around, she sees Brooke with the gun and freaks out. Adam tries to calm her down but Mary screeches that Brooke is planning to shoot him with the gun. Brooke, annoyed, quips that she is open to suggestions on who she should shoot. Adam, still amused, tells Mary that he has everything under control and that she should leave.
Just as JR asks Kendall if she is interested in how great they could be, Mary careens into the room and interrupts. JR tries to dismiss her, but she tells him about Brooke being upstairs pointing a gun at his father.
A few moments later, Tad, JR and Mary all burst into Adam's bedroom. Tad tries to tell JR to leave and to take Mary with him. Horrified at what he has walked in on, JR initially refuses to leave them alone with his father, who is facing down the gun barrel. Adam convinces his son that he will be all right, so JR reluctantly goes.
Once gone, Brooke returns to making demands for the DVD. Initially Adam toys with her, but he eventually acts as though he has no choice, and retrieves the disc from his dresser. Brooke starts to break it but Adam insists that either he or Tad do it, as she might hurt herself. Brooke wonders aloud why it's so easy. Tad chimes in that there are probably many copies of the disc. Adam confirms this and tells her that she could shoot up the house and still not find them all.
Brooke, enraged, tries to lunge at Adam so that she can throttle him. Tad manages to hold her back, as Adam looks on in glee. Adam then tells her that he could call the cops on her and have her tried for attempted murder - or she could help convince Tad to give up information on Liza and Colby. After not getting a response, Adam announces that he will find his daughter without the information - and that he will have Colby back, just like JR now has his own daughter.
Once Brooke and Tad return to Chez Martin, Brooke admits that the real reason she wanted the disc was not to destroy it - but to get a clear picture of the would-be hit man. Tad points out that Brooke has to worry about Mary because she saw Brooke pointing the gun at Adam. Brooke doesn't think it will be a problem to buy Mary off, but worries about what JR would say. Tad assures her that JR is not a credible witness. Just then, Tad becomes lost in thought.
After a few moments, Tad tells Brooke that there was something Bianca said earlier about Miranda that was nagging in his brain. He thinks that it is an important piece of the puzzle that they are putting together, but he doesn't quite know exactly what it is. Just then, the computer beeps - and it seems they have a match on the photo of Rod, the man supposedly paid off to kill JR.
Jamie finds Babe praying at the little chapel in the woods. Concerned about her, Jamie asks her to fill him in on what happened. Babe tells him that because of her choices, she is in over her head. She thinks that she has gone so far that even God won't forgive her.
Babe tells Jamie that she doesn't believe she will be able to convince Paul Kramer to tell the truth about his role in the baby switch. Jamie says that he wants to take care of Paul, and make him pay for all of his wrongdoings. Babe warns Jamie to stay out of it. She tells him that she has never stopped feeling bad that he went to jail for her, and ended up hurt. She doesn't want it to happen again.
She goes on to tell him that in addition to everything else, she has gotten him into more trouble. Jamie admits that he knows about the DVD that JR and Adam created to make it look like they hired a hit man.
Still sensing there is more that she has to confess - Jamie coaxes her on. She finally tells him that the worst of her sins is that she kept "Bess" from her real momma - Bess is actually Miranda, Bianca's daughter. A moment passes, and then Jamie tells her that he already knows.
Babe asks Jamie why he didn't tell her before that he knew the truth, and he tells her he had to make sure the pieces fit. He'd had such a hard time wrapping his head around everything that was going on, and he couldn't take the chance that he was wrong.
He asks her how she figured out that her baby was alive and being raised as Ace Buchanan. She told him that it was actually the chapel itself. She said that she came her to ask God and her baby for the strength to tell Bianca the truth and give up MiraBess. When she left, she took a wrong turn and ended up in Llanview. At first, she thought it was a horrible mistake - but then she ran into Kevin Buchanan and his baby boy.
After seeing him and getting to hold him, Babe knew in her heart that it was the baby she thought she lost. Jamie asks why, after she realized the truth, she still didn't say anything. She confessed that she really wanted to - and was set to run and tell Bianca immediately. What stopped her was trying to find a way to keep her son away from JR.
Jamie wants to know the whole story - and so Babe recounts how the most special day of her life, the birth of her first child, is merely fragments with jagged edges in her memory. She tells him that she remembers the storm and the flood and being stranded in the cabin. She knew that she needed to get help once Bianca went into labor and started losing a lot of blood. She remembers going for help and finding her way to David's cabin and making the fateful phone call.
She goes on to say that she did talk to Paul, and had hopes that he could come rescue them since he had the MediVac helicopter. Soon after he hung up on her, her own contractions started, so she needed to make her way back to the cabin.
After that, her memory gets spotty. She remembers being back at the cabin and Paul delivering her baby. After that, she doesn't remember anything until after she was at the hospital. She remembered thinking something was wrong when people told her that she had a beautiful baby girl - especially since the baby she was holding didn't look anything like the baby she thought she'd given birth to.
However, with JR beaming over the birth of his little girl - coupled with him telling her that her memory of having a boy must have been a dream - convinced her that the little girl was hers. Jamie questions when she started thinking that there really was something wrong. She tells him that it was because of his dad. She told her mom that Tad had done the DNA test, and Krystal became more upset than Babe thought she should be. Krystal took off, and Babe followed her undetected.
Krystal went to the crash site, and while Babe listened, Krystal admitted that she had tampered with the tests. Upon hearing that, a flood of memories that Babe had buried deep inside welled up and spilled over. She realized at that moment that she had to give the baby that she thought was hers back to Bianca - but then didn't.
Jamie asked why and Babe said that she was forced to choose between her husband and her best friend. She now realizes that she set up Bianca for a lifetime of pain for a marriage that was a joke and a man who didn't love her.
Jamie asks who tampered with the DNA tests, but with just a look, he knows it was Krystal. Babe is quick to take all the blame on herself - saying that Krystal did what she did to protect her daughter from the pain of losing her baby. Babe admits that she could have righted the wrong many times since then, but didn't - so therefore, the blame lies squarely on her shoulders.
Jamie tries to convince her that Paul Cramer should be blamed - but Babe says that she can't trust that Paul will admit to what really happened. She tells him that Paul has a story all planned that makes it seem that Babe couldn't accept the death of her child, so she stole Bianca's to remain a Chandler.
Babe says that she knows Jamie hates her, and that he wants to run and tell Bianca the real story immediately. But first, she wants to know if he will do her a favor. She asks him to keep the secret for a few more days so that she can figure out a way to keep her son safe from JR. She then realizes just how much she is asking for, and takes it back. She tells him that she realizes he must hate her, and that she has no right to ask him for anything. Jamie corrects her and says that he doesn't hate her, but rather the things she has done. He says that he understands that she had her reasons. He knows that she will give Bianca her baby back - and believes that she is courageous for that.
Ethan shows up at Zach's condo and sees the lights on inside. Believing that Zach is home, he pounds furiously on the door. So consumed and preoccupied by his rage, he fails to notice that Zach is actually standing in the shadows watching him. After watching for a few moments, Zach slips away without tipping Ethan off.
Some time later, Kendall returns to her condo and finds a very drunk Ethan sitting outside of Zach's front door. She convinces him to come into her place so that she can sober him up, and prepare him to deal with the hangover he will most likely have the next morning.
Once inside, Ethan tells her about his theory: that Zach Slater really is Alexander Cambias Jr., but for some reason, doesn't want to admit to it, or claim Ethan as his son. Until Zach does that, Ethan is left hanging, as he has no other straws to grab that will prove his true identity.
Zach shows up at Bianca's apartment. She tells him that he looks really stressed and he agrees that he is. She asks if it has anything to do with the theory floating around about Zach being a Cambias.
Bianca tells Zach that Alexander Jr. didn't seem like the kind of person that would turn his back on his son - and since Zach hasn't claimed Ethan, he couldn't be Alex. She tells him that she learned a hard truth today - that she had been living in a fantasy world, and that she needed to face the truth, no matter how messy or painful. She tells him that whoever her really is, he needs to own up to it - and claim it. Zach promises that he will tell Ethan and everyone the truth tomorrow.
Back at her condo, Kendall says that without hard evidence, Ethan doesn't have anything to go on. She suggests that he sleep off what he drank. After they both sleep, she promises him that she will help him make everything right. Ethan questions her ability to do so when everything feels so wrong.
Later, after Zach is gone, Bianca unpacks a few things. As she does this, she suddenly hears a baby crying, and says Miranda's name. Tears well up in her eyes as she questions aloud why she can't let her little girl go.
Back in the Chandler mansion, JR is trying to comfort a crying MiraBess by rocking her and telling her that she is safe.
Jamie tries to soothe Babe's rattled nerves by saying that they would find a way to make everything work: Miranda would be given back to Bianca, and Babe would be able to keep her son far away from JR. Babe thinks that sounds wonderful, but she she believes she is all out of miracles. Jamie tells her that they will just have to kidnap Ace and run away with him."
