"Brooke surprises Adam in his office with the news that Bianca is in critical condition after falling from JR's hotel room balcony and that JR was in the room with her at the time. Adam is shocked. Brooke then lets him know that she is determined to get to the bottom of things and find out what Adam is keeping from her but Adam stubbornly refuses to tell her anything unless she provides him with information on where Liza has taken Colby. Brooke isn't intimidated. She tells Adam that unless he cooperates with her, she will become his worst nightmare. She reminds him that she is the owner and editor of Tempo Magazine and she will use every means at her disposal to uncover "every speck of dirt and dust bunny" that he has hidden beneath is priceless Oriental rug. Adam seems unfazed until she threatens to investigate JR as well. Seeing the look of almost panic that crosses his face, Brooke quickly realizes that she has struck a nerve. That Adam is worried that maybe JR is responsible for Bianca's fall. Adam threatens her that she's gone too far when she gives voice to her observation. This time it's Brooke who seems unfazed by the threat. She warns him that he has 48 hours to comply with her demand for information or she will begin publishing front page articles on Bianca's fall and will continue to do so every single day for as long as it takes until the police realize that JR might have had something to do with Bianca falling from the balcony.
After a phone call from a distraught Kendall who tells both Ethan and a visiting Jack that Bianca is in the hospital in critical condition, Ethan decides to join her in Florida. Zach however has other ideas when he sees Ethan leaving Kendall's. After Ethan ignores his warning not to leave town opening himself up to possible charges, Zach follows him to the airport where he once again tries to talk him out of leaving. Zach finally resorts to threatening to notify airport security that Ethan is out on bail and attempting to flee jurisdiction. Ethan tires to impress upon Zach why it's important for him to join Kendall and Bianca but while Zach sympathizes with his desire to let Bianca know how special she is, he remains steadfast in his determination to keep Ethan from leaving. Ethan, realizing he won't be able to board the plane hands Zach the ticket and leaves. He returns home to reflect on the moments he and Bianca had shared when her kindness deeply touched him. At the airport, Zach makes a call to Florida to ensure that Bianca is well taken care of and her family's needs are met. He orders the person on the other end not to let them know he has made the arrangements. He also orders an investigation into what happened in the hotel room when Bianca fell.
Jack, after leaving Kendall's goes home to tell Reggie and Lily what has happened to Bianca. Reggie's emotional upset quickly turns to anger which in turn upsets Lily quite profusely. Jack and Reggie do their best to calm her down by asking her mathematical equations, giving her something to focus on. After Lily is calm she tells Jack that she doesn't want Bianca to die. Shortly afterwards, Jack talks to Erica on the phone and gets an update on Bianca's condition. When he offers to fly to Florida, Erica tells him no. She explains that she is planning to fly Bianca home to Pine Valley and that when she does she would like to talk to him about all that is going on. Jack reluctantly agrees to wait until she returns to Pine Valley.
Erica slaps Krystal and blasts both her and David for their roles in what transpired during Bianca's stay in Florida. She pretends as if she does not believe the claims about Bess being Miranda. Tad quickly shuffles a confused Krystal and David into a nearby room away from Erica and more importantly an unsuspecting JR who is standing by with Bess in his arms closely watching the scene unfold. Erica asks Kendall to follow JR when he excuses himself to go get Bess some juice. Kendall is somewhat taken aback by Erica's insistence. She questions her why she's behaving so strangely so Erica, rather than tell Kendall the truth, tells her that her nervousness stems from JR being the last person with Bianca. Kendall is shocked at the implication of the statement. She assures Erica that JR had nothing to do with Bianca's fall. That it was nothing more than a tragic accident. After updating Jack on Bianca's condition, Erica sits down with JR and Kendall in the waiting room and assures JR that she knows Bianca's fall was nothing more than an accident. She then asks him a favor of him...to take her, Bianca and Kendall home to Pine Valley in his private jet. JR agrees to the request.
In a hospital room, Krystal and David are desperate to find out what is going on. Why JR is still under the impression that Miranda is his daughter Bess. Tad tells them that it no longer concerns them and then he questions what they are doing at the hospital. Krystal insists it was to see how Bianca is doing and to ensure that she and Miranda are reunited. Tad informs them that things had already been decided and that plans are being made to get Miranda, Bianca and JR back to Pine Valley where a DNA test can be conducted that will confirm once and for all that Miranda is Bianca's daughter. Tad is quite clear in that both David and Krystal's help is no longer appreciated or wanted. David questions Tad as to what his intentions are regarding JR and the truth about his son, James being alive. Tad is speechless. He accuses David of only coming to the hospital to find out if JR is still a threat to Babe not out of concern for Bianca. David denies being there for any other reason than Bianca. After Tad leaves, David encourages Krystal to leave as well but Krystal refuses. Just then, Erica walks in and let's them know that she isn't through with them just yet."
