"In the morning, Edmund continues to ignore Maria's pleas to be more open about making their marriage work. Maria tells him that their behavior is not good for the children and asks him to see a marriage counselor. Edmund says he has already spoken to his lawyer and will be filing for divorce. Maria is stunned and Maddie, now a teenager, comes downstairs to get ready for school. Maria leaves to get Maddie's jacket and Edmund tells Maddie that things between him and her mother are bad. He says that they are having problems that might not be fixable. Maddie explains that she knows things are bad because of the fighting and that they sleep in separate beds. Maddie leaves to catch the bus and Maria sensing her uneasiness, asks Edmund what he told her. He says he told them the children have to be prepared for what is going to happen. Maria thinks not-she says that their marriage can be fixed and it is best not to jump to conclusions with the kids. Maddie misses the bus and Maria takes her to school. Edmund makes a phone call and asks for the person to come to his home.
Zach is in his office, trying to contact Olivia when Ryan walks in, saying that he owes him an apology. Ryan tells him he misjudged Zach-I mean, he isn't trying to steal Ryan's power by using his Cambias' name and even denied Ethan that he was his son. Ryan pulls out a gun, a match to the gun that shot him, and Zach takes it as a threat. Ryan says he not threatening Zach, just trying to make him see the weapon that almost ended his life. He also mentions that Ethan has been arrested for attempted murder. Ryan asks him why he has not left town yet. If he is waiting for Maria, Ryan says he has no chance.
Ryan leaves and meets up with Aidan, who asks if he got anything on Zach. Ryan says no, but agrees there is something more and if Ethan isn't the killer, he shouldn't take the fall for it.
When Maria returns, she tells Edmund that Maddie was very upset. The doorbell rings and when Maria gets it, it is Zach. Edmund tells her he asked him to come over and pick her up. "She's all yours," he says to Zach.

Babe, Jamie and James (Ace) picnic outside as they continue to flee from Pine Valley. When Jamie realizes Babe seems to be distracted, he asks her what is wrong. She tells him that she is just thinking of how Bianca is finally getting to hold Miranda and knows the truth about her. Babe envisions Bianca coming to JR with happiness and him simply handing over the baby to her. Babe gets saddened because Kevin and JR both lost their children. Jamie says Kevin probably knew James was not his. Even though JR has done hurtful things to them, they both feel saddened for the loss they assume both men are experiencing. They hear police sirens and hope that the police pass them. But they don't and Babe and Jamie watch as the lights get closer.
JR clutches Miranda closer to him and tells Bianca, "You can't have her." Bianca tells him she is there to see Babe. JR tells her Babe left with Jamie, but Bianca can't believe it.

Bianca sees a letter in JR's hands and when she goes to snatch it, he pulls away. He tells her that it is not her business.

With Babe gone, he says that Bess will need a mother figure in her life. Bianca says Bess needs her mother, not her. JR agrees, but tells her that he knows how much she loves Bess and wants her to be a part of her life. Bianca seems a bit cautious, but is happy that JR wants her back in Bess's life.
