"Bianca stops by Maggie's to see how she is handling the news that Jamie and Babe are leaving town together. Maggie admits that she's not taking the news too well. As Bianca gives Maggie a comforting hug, Jonathan watches from the sofa. Minutes later, Jonathan excuses himself to go out and get ice cream giving Bianca and Maggie some time to talk privately. While discussing Jamie and Babe's departure from Pine Valley, Bianca confides to Maggie their real plans. Maggie is surprised to learn they plan to kidnap Bess but better understands why they are leaving. Jonathan then returns with both a bottle of champagne instead of ice cream and news. He makes a toast to the 'fake Cambias' being behind bars which draws Bianca up short. She had no idea that Ethan had been arrested. She begins to defend Ethan to Jonathan but quickly realizes the uselessness in that so she leaves. Alone now, Jonathan makes a few comments about Bianca to Maggie which she objects to. During the argument, Maggie goes to the door, opens it and demands for Jonathan to leave. He doesn't. Instead he asks Maggie if she would prefer to be in Bianca's arms as she was during the hug they shared. Maggie is speechless.
Kendall and Erica run into each other in the hallway outside of Bianca's apartment. They enter Bianca's apartment together where Erica questions Kendall about her comment in the hallway, that she was there for help. When Kendall tells Erica about Ethan's arrest her reaction is not unexpected..."Well three cheers for the Pine Valley police department." As they argue back and forth the conversation drifts from Ethan to their mother/daughter relationship. Erica begs Kendall to please let her help her stop making the same mistakes over and over but Kendall insists that she doesn't need it. Erica is persistent. She tells Kendall that while she failed her and Bianca once in the past she is not going to let that happen again. Never. As Erica looks at a picture of Bianca, Babe and Bess, she reflects out loud how she wished things had turned out differently, referring to Miranda's death. Kendall becomes visibly upset with talk of Miranda and sets the picture down telling her mother that she can't share her feelings about Miranda. Just then Bianca walks into her apartment, surprised to see both her sister and mother there. She asks if she has forgotten a girl's night out or something. Kendall tries to leave, saying she was just passing by but Erica stops her and informs Bianca that Kendall is there for what she calls help but what is actually aiding and abetting. Kendall isn't amused however she does stay after Bianca tells the both of them that she could use the company. Kendall shares what has happened with Ethan and Bianca agrees with her that he's innocent much to Erica's dismay. As the three women discuss their failings and Bianca points out that together they are unbeatable the conversation once again drifts to Miranda. Kendall becomes quite agitated and insists that they stop talking about her since nothing can bring her back.
Adam storms into his living room, outraged that no one has been able to locate Colby. JR, with Bess on his lap, listens to Adam's tirade until Adam picks up the phone and says "If I can't have my child then neither can Tad Martin." JR asks him who he is calling to which Adam replies "Alfred Vanderpoole." He intents to have him get the evidence against Jamie and Babe in the safety deposit box. JR warns him that if he wants his brother then Adam will have to go through JR first. Adam is momentarily stunned but he quickly recovers and accuses JR for falling for Jamie's tricks to manipulate him through their brotherly bond. JR ignores Adam, insisting that he leave Jamie alone. In an attempt to change JR's mind, Adam starts attacking JR, pointing out what Adam sees as JR's weaknesses but to no avail. JR is steadfast. The argument is interrupted with the arrival of Brooke who lets Adam know that not only can he not hurt Jamie anymore but that the disc he was threatening to use to have him thrown in jail is no longer in Adam's possession. Adam is enraged especially when JR calmly thanks Brooke and sees her to the door. Adam begins to share a piece of his mind with his son but is immediately shut down when JR tells him that with the help of the $10,000.00 Jamie stole from Adam's safe and the large payoff JR gave him, Jamie has taken Babe and left town. Adam smiles, even more so when JR points out that Brooke is completely unaware of her son's departure from Pine Valley.
Krystal and David arrive in Llanview where the election night celebration for Governor Brooks and Kevin Buchanan's victory is in full swing. Not seeing either Jamie or Babe in the crowd they decide to split up. Tad follows Krystal while David goes in the other direction. Jamie and Babe walk out of the elevator moments later. Jamie is dressed in a campaign T-Shirt and both are wearing straw campaign hats in the hopes of blending in with the rest of the campaign volunteers. As they try to decide what to do next, they spot the nanny and Ace heading towards the elevators they have just exited. Babe becomes upset that the nanny has Ace up so late and around so much noise but Jamie reminds her that they have a game plan to stick to and she needs to focus on that. After the nanny enters the elevator, they watch the floor indicator above to see which floor it stops at. While waiting for their own elevator, Babe spots David as he exits one. Babe grabs an unsuspecting Jamie and kisses him using their hats to further conceal them. David walks past them mumbling "Get a room" unaware that it was Babe and Jamie. Meanwhile, Krystal ends up backing into Tad and promptly berates him for following her. Tad questions why she is in Llanview and Krystal tries to lie, saying she's there to see a friend. He then asks her if the friend is the ex-wife to the Lt. Governor, Kelly Buchanan. Krystal sticks to her story, traps Tad behind a cart full of heavy luggage and makes a quick escape from him. A short while later, Jamie and Babe are upstairs in the hotel corridor. Jamie shows Babe the bottle of sleeping pills he intends to lace the nanny's drink with and assures Babe that soon she'll have Ace. A short while later, Jamie is at the hotel door where the nanny is staying with Ace with a glass of drug-laced champagne on a tray in his hands. He tells her that Kevin had sent him up with the glass as part of the celebration but the nanny is reluctant, fearing it might be a set up to see if she's a fit nanny. Jamie eventually convinces her to let him in and then to drink the champagne. Feeling a bit dizzy, she tells him that she has a few phone calls to make and goes into the other room after Jamie assures her he will see himself out. He quickly removes a piece of tape from his jacket and puts it over the door latch so that he can return to the room later and let himself in without a key. Meanwhile, Krystal finds Babe in the hallway waiting for Jamie. She immediately confronts Babe about her plans and begs her to reconsider, reminding her that what she and Jamie are planning is a felony and will result in a state wide manhunt. Babe feels the risks are worth it and won't be swayed. Realizing that she is not going to talk her daughter out of leaving town with Jamie after kidnapping Ace, she says goodbye to Babe. When Jamie joins them she makes one more attempt to reason with him but to no avail. Down in the lobby, Tad confronts David. He tells David that he plans to get to the bottom of things and be with Krystal in the end. They trade barbs until David is able to knock Tad unconscious with a suitcase and prop him up against a wall so that he looks like someone who had passed out after imbibing in a bit too much champagne."
