"JR asks Jackson, Erica, Tad and Adam if something has happened to Bianca and when they tell him about her condition, he offers to help in any way that he can. Erica tells him he can help her by giving Bess to her. JR says that he is not going to take his daughter to the hospital on Christmas Eve. Tad tells JR that he has some bad news and everyone, except Adam, pipes up to tell him that Bess is really Miranda. Erica tells him about the new DNA test, which proves the child is not Bess. When JR brings up the other test, Tad says it was wrong and tampered with. Erica says that a blood sample was taken from Bianca and Miranda. JR realizes that Adam took Miranda to get the test done and tells him "you did this." JR even tells Adam that he plotted with all of them - his daughter in exchange for Colby. Adam tells him that he made no deals with them, he just needed to know the truth. Next, JR blames Jamie and Babe, saying they all schemed to hurt him. Jackson tells JR that the DNA results with stand up in court and technically, they don't need his permission to take her. JR goes and slams the doors, saying they will have to kill him first before they take Miranda away. Stuart walks in and asks to speak to JR alone, even though he can sense it is a bad time. At first, Adam protests, but Erica says Stuart might be their last hope. Stuart and JR go outside to talk, where Stuart urges him to help Bianca and let go of Bess. Stuart tells him that sometimes it is worse to hold on tight than to let go.

JR comes back and tells them he will go get Miranda. When Jackson tells him he is going with him, JR protests and asks to say good-bye to her alone. Tad informs him that he will at least wait outside the door because everyone is scared he will run away. Jackson adds that the house is being completely watched by security as well. JR goes up to Miranda's room and grabs her baby bag. He tells her that he knows a secret way to get out of the house and they leave.

Jackson gets a call from Maria and she tells him that Erica needs to come to the hospital. Jackson tells Adam to get JR because they need to go. When Adam gets upstairs, he sees that JR and Miranda have disappeared.

Tad goes outside and talks to Dixie. He says that he does not blame her if she is disappointed in him, but he had to do what he felt was right. He says he does not know how to help JR, but to please show him how.

Maria is tells Zach that Erica needs to make some tough choices because Bianca's body is shutting down. She leaves the room and Edmund wheels by. He comes inside and Zach leaves. Edmund tells Bianca that she has to find her way back to the people who love her.

Opal and Palmer fret anxiously in the waiting room. Opal even bugs Palmer to do something for Bianca because of his extensive resources, but Ryan reminds her that there is nothing he can do. Maria comes out and asks for Erica, but they say she is not there. Maria pulls Greenlee aside, asks her to contact Jackson to see if Erica is with him and tell them to get to the hospital immediately. Ethan comes over to the crowd inquiring about Bianca's condition. Reggie tells him that from the look on Maria's face, it isn't looking good for Bianca. Lily says that she needs to get Bianca a miracle and when Ryan, Ethan and Reggie try to explain to her that she can't just "get" a miracle, she becomes confused.

Lily goes into visit Bianca after Edmund leaves. She tells her that she wanted to bring her a miracle, but that she was not sure where to get one, so she wait with her until a miracle shows up. She tells Bianca that sometimes, it feels safe when you are alone and perhaps that is what she is doing. She says that it is better to be a part of the world, no matter how scared you are. Lily reaches for Bianca's hand and holds it tightly. She then takes Bianca's hand and touches it to her face. When Lily realized that the sensation of someone touching her skin didn't frighten her, she asked aloud if it was miracle. Then she repeated, "I'm not frightened" over and over again as she continued to rub her face with Bianca's hand.

Kendall asks the Reverend how he knows Bianca and he tells her that she came by last year, deeply troubled and looking for something. When Kendall asks him how he knows they are sisters, he says that she has the same search and look in her eye that Bianca had last year. He tells Kendall that they discussed Miranda and that Bianca did not think she could love her. He notes that Bianca learned what God knew, which is that children need love and they don't carry the sins of their fathers. Kendall sarcastically thanks him for his advice and says that he messed up Bianca's life. She goes on to blast the power of prayer and calls it "useless." The Reverend asks Kendall what the opposite of faith is and she says fear. He tells her not to give up on her sister, but to reach out to her with her faith, not her fear. The Reverend tells Kendall he has to go and save "someone's soul." In an instant, he is gone. Kendall gets on her knees and prays. She says over and over again, "I believe."

As JR loads Miranda in a car, the Reverend appears in his passenger's seat.

Soon, people start flowing into the hospital's church, all saying prayers for Bianca."
