"Erica drops by to visit Bianca and Miranda. When she sees her daughter, she's immediately concerned. Bianca explains that she didn't have a good night and, she notes as she sees JR walk up behind her mother, it seems her day isn't improving. He's there to ask Bianca for help with the custody hearing. Bianca wants nothing to do with JR or his custody issues. She remains adamant on the point despite Erica's best efforts to convince her that JR is just as much a victim of Babe's as Bianca herself was. Bianca doesn't see it that way and tells JR in no uncertain terms that she will not be a party to anything JR plans nor will she allow him to use her as the club that he beats Babe over the head with. JR tries to convince her to testify in court that Babe admitted that the DNA test David orchestrated confirmed that JR was his son. When Bianca tells him to leave, JR tells her that she forced him into his next move. He calls someone forward and has Bianca served with a subpoena. After JR leaves, Erica tries once again to talk to Bianca about testifying on JR's behalf. Bianca continues to try to explain to her mother that she doesn't want to be involved in any of it. Erica becomes slightly alarmed when Bianca indicates that she has some understanding in what motivated Babe. Erica doesn't share her daughter's views. She wants to see Babe and her parents pay for what they did to Bianca and she promises to do whatever it takes to make certain that they do. Bianca assures her mother that she does not condone or forgive Babe for keeping Miranda from her but she doesn't want to waste any more time dwelling on it or seeking vengeance for it. Erica corrects Bianca, telling her it's not revenge that she seeks but justice. They also discuss JR's actions on the night of Bianca's fall. Erica questions Bianca about exactly what JR did, specifically pushing her and intentionally trying to hurt her. Bianca admits that she doesn't know if JR tried to intentionally do her harm but she does know that he had every intention of taking her daughter and leaving with her.

Kevin goes to the jail to talk to Babe. When he shows her a recent picture of her son, Babe refers to him as James. Kevin is quick to correct her, telling her that his name is Ace Buchanan. He goes on to tell her that he's there to convince her to give up all rights to Ace in exchange for leniency in court. Babe refuses to consider it despite Kevin's best efforts. He leaves empty handed. Later, as Babe studies the pictures of her son, the guard announces that she has another visitor. It's Bianca.

Adam sneaks up behind David and renders him unconscious with a small stun device he has in the palm of his hand. He tries to lift David but is interrupted by Krystal. Krystal quickly picks up a club and threatens to 'split Adam's head open like a melon' Adam drops David onto the snow covered ground. She demands an explanation for the act of lunacy. She is baffled by Adam's bizarre behavior when he suggests that among other things the drugging and the time Adam was stuffed into a crate and shipped off to the ends of the earth have knocked a screw loose in his head. He goes on to tell Krystal that he's doing nothing more than pulling a similar prank on David and that it's all in good fun. Krystal can't believe her ears especially when Adam orders her to grab David's legs and help him load him into a nearby crate. Rather than help, Krystal demands answers. Adam's true intentions are revealed when he calls out for Winifred forward. Winifred, it seems, was hidden behind a grove of trees video taping the entire exchange. Adam reaches for the camcorder and asks Winifred to wait for him in the car. As soon as she's out of hearing range, Adam tells Krystal that he had the tape made for a good reason. Zach Slater's security tapes prove that David was responsible for Adam's disappearance but the tape that Adam made would go a long way in helping David when he goes to court to face charges for the crime. That the tape clearly shows Adam admitting that the disappearance was nothing more than a long line of pranks that he and David have pulled on each other over the years. In exchange for the tape that would in effect make David a free man, Adam wants the DNA results, certified, that David conducted on their grandson. Just then, unbeknownst to Adam, David comes to and springs on Adam. After a brief tussle, Adam once again explains why he's there and what he wants. Neither David nor Krystal are interested in making a deal.

Waiting for the elevator outside of Bianca's loft, JR receives a call on his cell phone. He rushes off to a park where he finds his son and his nanny. A woman has supposedly fallen through the ice prompting the bodyguard Kevin hired to run to her rescue. JR pretending to be a concerned bystander, calls 911. While the nanny's back is turned away from her charge, JR takes the opportunity to try to get a DNA sample. Unfortunately though, Kevin walks up just then and tells JR to get away from his son "Ace." When the bodyguard returns it's revealed that the incident on the lake was nothing more than a ruse. Kevin fires the bodyguard then turns his attention back to JR. He tells him that he can take all of the personal DNA tests he would like but they will never hold up in court. Only a court ordered DNA test would. JR leaves but not without first warning Kevin that he will get his son back.

Jonathan stops by to talk to Greenlee who is less than thrilled to see her brother in-law. He suggests that he's there to help her relationship with Ryan. He continues along that vein by confessing to her that he had always viewed Greenlee as the biggest threat to his relationship with Ryan but that after the previous night he realizes that she wasn't. That Ryan finally convinced him that nothing can come between the two brothers and if anyone, including Greenlee ever tried, then Ryan would always chose Jonathan. Greenlee raises an eyebrow at that bold statement but wisely doesn't challenge it. He goes on to admit that he has an anger issue and when a woman makes him angry he lashes out. Greenlee finally speaks up when he announces that he and Maggie are getting married. She quips 'You smack her around and she wants to marry you?'. Jonathan is clearly annoyed by the observation but decides to switch gears. He presents her with what he calls a peace offering. A breakfast complete with juice from her favorite place. Greenlee looks at the offering as if it were a coiled snake ready to strike but rather than reject it outright, sits down as he serves himself. She refuses to touch any of it though. When Jonathan insists that she try some Greenlee "accidentally" spills the juice all over the food. Jonathan realizes it was intentional and grabs Greenlee's arm as she prepares to fetch some towels to clean up the mess. He acts offended that she continues to believe that he's the one who poisoned her. He lets go of her wrist and warns her that the truth about who hired Aidan will come out. He goes on to inform her that at that very moment Ryan is interrogating Kendall about Aidan's investigation and who was behind it. Greenlee is a bit rattled but tries to hide the reaction. When Jonathan once again switches tactics and tells her that all he wants is to be friends, Greenlee tells him that Ryan gave his word that Jonathan did not poison her and she took his word for it so they should just leave it at that. Jonathan isn't quite pleased but says "Fine."

Kendall is startled when she wakes up to find Ryan sitting on her bed next to her bidding her a "Good morning sweetheart." She stammers that Ethan had just left a few hours earlier. Ryan could care less about where Ethan is. He's there to confront Kendall about Aidan's investigation. Ryan suspects it's all about revenge; Kendall hired Aidan to dig up dirt on Jonathan in the hopes of making Ryan pay. Kendall is offended by the accusation and becomes angry as Ryan warns her to lay off Jonathan or live to regret it. She challenges his certainty that Jonathan is innocent of drugging Greenlee and framing her for it. She goes so far as to suggest that he's using Ryan. He completely dismisses the idea and tells her so. Kendall realizes at that moment that, contrary to what he told Greenlee, he still believes that Kendall is the person responsible for drugging Greenlee. She reminds him that she was the one who saved Greenlee's life the night she was on the roof of Fusion which prompts Ryan to tell her to stop using that as her trump card every time questions arise about her own possible guilt in poisoning his wife. They argue back and forth until Ryan finally begins to plead with Kendall just to drop the investigation on Jonathan. Kendall tells him fine, that she will, then orders him to leave her place - to go home to Greenlee and start making the family that they plan on. Ryan though, isn't through with her. He demands to know once and for all if Greenlee, despite having promised to take his word for it, was also behind the crusade against his brother. Kendall refuses to answer him. She instead insists that she needs coffee and proceeds to make it. Ryan becomes impatient with her and insists on an answer. Kendall, fed up with Ryan, once again orders him to leave. She opens the door as Ryan once again asks her if Greenlee was in on hiring Aidan. Just then Greenlee walks up and tells him that she'll answer the question."
