"Bianca was sitting at the boathouse, flashing back to the time when she'd sat there with Maggie, telling her that no matter what happened in life, she and Babe would always be connected because of what had happened at the cabin. Just then, Krystal showed up, and Bianca asked if she'd heard from Babe. Having heard nothing, Bianca confessed that she finally understood why Babe had left town.
Krystal, afraid that the truth had come out, asked Bianca not to be angry at Babe. To the contrary, Bianca was more worried. She told Krystal that she knew about Paul Cramer harassing Babe once upon a time and had no reason to believe that he had ever stopped. When she'd heard about his murder, Bianca had been certain that he had put Babe in between a rock and a hard place. She knew that Babe had had no choice but to kill him and leave her baby behind while she'd gone on the run. She also knew that if her theory was correct, Babe could never return to Pine Valley.
Krystal, impressed that Bianca was still sticking up for and standing by Babe, despite all that had happened, had to give her a hug. She told Bianca that she was the best thing that had ever happened to Babe. Bianca corrected her by saying that she ranked second only to Babe's baby. Krystal couldn't agree more.
After Krystal left, Bianca retreated into her reveries. She recalls another time with Maggie at the boathouse, when Maggie had convinced her to jump into the freezing cold water with her. She smiled at the memory but was again returned to the present by another interruption. This time, it was Maggie.
Bianca thought that Maggie had pulled an all-nighter, but Maggie corrected her. It turned out that Jonathan had needed to get up early, and she hadn't been able to get back to sleep. She offered to leave if Bianca was having a private moment, but Bianca insisted that she stay. She told Maggie that she had just been thinking back to some of their times together, and they laughed about times gone by.
Then, Maggie said that she had to be honest with Bianca -- she knew that her interactions with Jonathan hadn't been the easiest thing to deal with. Maggie said that she felt bad about it, but Bianca insisted that it was not her fault. Maggie said that she was, in part, responsible, because she'd told Jonathan that she was in love with Bianca.
As Bianca sat there, slightly stunned, Maggie explained that Jonathan knew her feelings were completely one-sided. She also noted that Jonathan's problem was not about Maggie loving another woman, but more about not coming first in her life. Maggie told Bianca that Jonathan did indeed come first, and that she knew she came first in his life. There was no doubt, or they wouldn't be living together.
Bianca and Maggie agreed that they each wanted the other to be happy -- and then Maggie questioned why Bianca was still in Pine Valley. Puzzled, Bianca asked where else she would be. Maggie told her that she'd thought Bianca would have gone to Poland to be with Lena. Certainly, before, Bianca had had a good reason to stay: Babe and Bess. With them gone, Maggie was confused as to why she hadn't gone yet.
While they were driving down the road, playing games and talking, Babe turned to Jamie and said that it was time to face the truth: he could be her brother. Jamie practically choked on some candy he had been eating and wanted to know what she was talking about. Dreamy as ever, Babe said that by that time, the truth was out, the shock had worn off, and Tad had to be on his way to forgiving Krystal for what she'd done. Given how much they loved each other, they might have run off and eloped, which would mean that Jamie was Babe's stepbrother.
Calming down after that explanation, Jamie told Babe that he had felt a lot of things on a lot of different levels for her since their initial meeting. Feeling like her brother, however, was not one of them -- and he didn't want to start feeling that way. Babe took that information in, and then mimicked the sentiment. Jamie asked where she wanted to go with the feelings she was having, and after a moment, she asked him if he really wanted to know.
Jamie indicated that he did, so Babe told him that she wanted to go somewhere that she could take her son to the park and not be afraid that someone was going to snatch him. She wanted to go somewhere that they could relax, build a life together, love each other, be safe, be a real family. Jamie, completely taken in, said that he could provide her with everything she could ever want and more.
Babe and Jamie stopped for a moment so they could get out and stretch their legs. She told him that it was funny how she had grown up with next to nothing and had always thought that someday, she would be happy. However, back then, her idea of happy included having the things she'd thought she'd been missing. As it turned out, being married to J.R., she'd had all the things she'd thought she'd needed. However, here she was, back in a used car, traveling across the country, and she couldn't be happier.
Babe thought of the ideal again and how great it would be if Tad and Krystal were married at that moment. Babe turned to look at Jamie and was forced to see his skeptical expression. She asked if he thought they had decided to wait, and Jamie told her that he thought Tad and Krystal would get married when hell froze over.
Jamie told Babe that not only was the truth really important to Tad, but Tad had also lost a baby himself. The fact that Krystal had engineered the events that were still keeping Bianca and her baby apart just made everything worse. Babe, still trying to be positive, said that since Jamie had forgiven her, there was still hope. Jamie said that if it weren't for what Krystal had done, the truth would have come out a lot sooner, and they could have all gotten on with their lives. However, as it stood, if Tad never forgave Krystal, she only had herself to blame.
Babe told Jamie that it had been her idea to keep the lie going -- so there was no way that Tad could blame Krystal for everything that had happened in the aftermath. Jamie didn't think it would make a difference. He knew his dad, and it would take him a long time to forgive Krystal's lying -- and even longer to forget.
At the cabin, David was sleeping on the couch when there was an awful banging at the door. He stumbled over and turned on the light. He looked out the window and saw that Tad was the culprit. Deciding that he couldn't deal with Tad so early in the morning, David turned the lights off with the intention of going back to bed. Not so easily cast aside, Tad broke the door in.
Tad informed David that once he'd discovered that his computer had crashed, his phone had been cut off, and his tires had been slashed, he'd known that David had been responsible. David told Tad that his search for the kids was officially over. Tad shot back that David was free to try his best, but there was no way that Tad would stop looking for Babe and Jamie. David advised him that he might want to rethink that because David was willing to go to any lengths to prevent Tad from tracking Jamie and Babe down.
Tad wanted to know the extents David would go to so that Tad would call off the search -- and further, how he felt about never seeing his child again because of the choices he had made. David said that he wanted the kids to stay as far away from Pine Valley as they could, until it was safe for them. He told Tad that if his only options were not seeing his daughter, and seeing her locked up, there really was no choice. Tad asked about Bianca, and when the time would come that she got to know that her baby was safe. Just then, Krystal walked in and said, "The time is now." She knew that Bianca had waited too long.
Krystal told David and Tad that she had run into Bianca down at the boathouse, and David was immediately alarmed. He asked her what she had told Bianca, and Krystal calmed him by admitting she'd said nothing.
Tad explained David's foolproof plans for keeping the kids safe: have them stay away from Pine Valley until someone else was convicted of Paul's murder. All would be well and good because Bianca would have her baby back in the end, but Tad wondered how David would explain why it had taken so long. Ever ready to offer up someone else's soul, David said that he would blame it on an inept lab tech. He would say that the tech had screwed up before and was the one handling the DNA test that Joe and Tad had performed. Because of this newfound "knowledge," David would say that he'd had the presence of mind to do yet another test, and that was when he'd found out the truth.
Krystal didn't think that David's idea was a good one. Bianca continued to grieve, yet she didn't know that her daughter was alive. In addition, she told them about her run-in with Adam and how he had said he would hunt Babe down and make her pay if he found out the letter was actually the truth.
David still thought that was the best thing, and Tad revealed that David had a secret agenda -- to never see the kids again if that was what needed to happen. Shocked, Krystal announced that his scenario would never happen.
Tad once again questioned if Krystal had any kind of conscience or moral fiber, but Krystal had had enough with the slams on her character. She was well aware of his opinion of her but also said that he was no saint. Tad announced that he wasn't trying to stake the moral high ground but rather wanted to make a point. Neither she nor David seemed to lose any sleep over the fact that while they'd been trying to keep their daughter safe and happy, they'd ruined many lives. He went on to say that regardless of who'd given birth to what kid, kidnapping was always wrong. Tad was done with it -- he was going to do whatever it took to make things right.
Tad said that, eventually, Babe and Jamie would have to face the consequences for their actions. David and Krystal, however, thought the most important thing was that they keep "Ace" away from J.R. Tad questions why, considering that the baby was J.R.'s, as well. David started to tear into Tad, questioning his concern even though J.R. wasn't his. David suddenly realized that with Dixie as his mother, that made "Ace" Dixie's grandchild. David inquired as to whether Tad was ready to sacrifice both their children just for Dixie.
Anger all over her face, Krystal asked Tad the same thing. Disbelief on his, Tad told her that she had never really gotten him while they'd been together. He then turned to David and told him to do his worst -- he would not stop until he found the kids.
Erica greeted Jack at the airport, and she immediately wanted to talk about how things were going with the plans for the benefit concert. All Jack wanted was a welcome home kiss and to take her back to his place.
A little while later, at the Montgomery residence, Dani and Reggie were kissing up a storm on the couch. Reggie broke away first and said that he was ready to take their relationship to the next level. He wanted to know if she felt the same. A hesitant Dani waited a beat and then said that she was ready, as well. She asked if he had protection, and he confirmed that he did. She grabbed him by the hand, and they headed back to his room, slamming the door after them.
Just then, Jack and Erica walked in the front door, preparing to get intimate themselves. Jack decided that he wanted to check on the kids before they got too involved. He went back to Reggie's room, knocked once, and then opened the door. He was alarmed to find the teens in a compromising position.
Jack stormed back into the living room, hot under the collar about what he'd seen; he was about ready to blow. Erica tried to reason with him, saying that he'd walked in on Reggie and Dani doing what Jack and she had been about to do. Jack didn't want to hear that, as they were adults and thereby had different rules. Erica insisted that the best way to deal with them was to treat them like adults.
A few moments later, Reggie and Dani trudged into the living room, expecting the worst. Erica surprised them by asking Reggie what he wanted to do for Thanksgiving. After a few minutes of back and forth banter, Reggie's nerves finally got the best of him. He asked Jack if there was something he wanted to say. Jack was the next to surprise him by saying he wanted Reggie to do all the talking.
Reggie made up some sort of wild story to explain what they had been doing in the bed, but, of course, neither Jack nor Erica was buying it. He also told them that while Jack had been out of town, Dani hadn't been there any later than 8:00, and he swore by it. Just then, Lily walked into the room and told Reggie he shouldn't do that. She showed Jack and Erica pictures that she'd taken of the teen duo kissing in various places in the apartment. She apparently had just taken pictures of the stuff she hadn't understood, so that it could be explained later.
Reggie was shocked that his moves had been caught on film, and Dani feared that she would be grounded. She asked Jack if he was going to call her father, but Jack said he would leave that honor to her. He instructed Reggie to help her out and share the blame. Knowing that Derek already had a case against him, Reggie tried to back down, to no avail.
A little while later, the men talked in the bedroom, and the women talked in the living room. Jack told Reggie that he was disappointed in him because he had trusted Reggie, and the trust was broken. He had thought Reggie could be responsible -- not just about sex, but about taking care of his sister and the apartment while Jack had been gone.
Reggie then admitted that he really thought he was falling for Dani and wanted to move their relationship to the next level. Jack told him that if he was trying to do all of that while sneaking it all under his father's nose, he was still not ready.
Out in the living room, Lily asked Erica questions about the pictures. She said that while Dani wasn't dressed like the "hot girls," she looked ready for sex. Dani, completely embarrassed, started to leave, but Erica wanted her to stay. She asked Lily if she could have a moment alone with Dani, and Lily agreed and left the room. Once Lily was gone, Erica called Dani on being a virgin and on her fears that Reggie would change his mind about how he felt for her if he found out.
Dani clued Erica in to her thought that she was a loser for still being a virgin. Erica dispelled that myth and said that just because she respected herself enough to choose wisely, that didn't make her a loser. Erica told her that making love, especially for the first time, should be special, with someone a person cared about. Just then, Jack and Reggie emerged from the room, and the two star-crossed lovers were face to face once again.
Later, Reggie walked Dani out, and they confirmed that everything was still okay with them. He told her that he really cared about her, and relieved, she said she felt the same way. He offered to walk her home, and they left.
Back inside, Jack wanted to pick up where he and Erica had left off, and Erica quipped that perhaps his apartment had seen enough action for one night. Jack admitted that he just didn't want her to leave. Erica told him that she didn't plan to go anywhere.
Greenlee and Ryan showed up at the hospital bright and early to get the test results from the MRI. Maria met up with them and gave them good news: physically, Greenlee had a clean bill of health. Their happiness was short-lived. Ryan asked what other tests they could run, because they obviously knew something was wrong. Maria said there weren't any more tests, as there were no physical indicators that gave her reason to do so. However, she would like Greenlee to consult with a staff psychiatrist.
Greenlee was initially adamant about not seeing the psychiatrist because she was not crazy. The last time she'd seen one had been after Leo had died. That doctor had wanted her to jump out of a window. She was afraid of what this one might ask her to do. Ryan asked Maria if he could have a few minutes alone to talk to Greenlee. Maria had rounds, so she opted to do those and check on them later.
Once Maria was gone, Greenlee immediately told Ryan that there was nothing to discuss. She was not crazy, so there was no reason why she needed to see a psychiatrist. She started to march out of the room, but he caught her by the arm and pulled her back to him. With just a look, he showed her how worried he was and how everything that he was doing was because he loved her and just wanted her well.
Greenlee said that she would take a bunch of herbs or try some sort of Zen meditation to fix whatever was wrong with her. One of her real fears finally showed through: if it turned out that she really was crazy, she felt she would have no choice but to walk away from Ryan.
Ryan said that the way he was trying to take care of her then was the same way she'd stood by him when he had been recuperating in the hospital. She thought it was different -- the bullet was the problem in his case; hers was a big unknown. She worried that taking one pill might not work. Ryan countered by asking, "What if it does?" He asked her to give in and get treated, not only for herself, but for them as a couple.
As luck would have it, the psychiatrist was available to see Greenlee that day. She finally acquiesced and decided to give the doctor a try. Maria thought it was a good idea and said she would check in with them later. Greenlee checked in with her hubby, to make sure he was okay, and he was.
Back in the car, Babe told Jamie that she was starting to get a bad feeling. If things hadn't worked out with Tad and Krystal, perhaps things were not as beautiful as she'd thought in Pine Valley. She wondered what would happen if Bianca hadn't been reunited with her daughter.
At that moment at the boat house, Bianca told Maggie she still felt like Babe and Bess needed her. Not able to explain it, she felt like she was on the edge of something, but she was not quite sure what it was. She thought that if she could just talk to Babe, everything would be all right.
Back in the car, Babe asked Jamie to pull over immediately so she could call back to Pine Valley. Jamie wondered what good that would do, but Babe insisted that if things didn't work out as planned, she needed to do whatever she could to fix it."
