"Unbeknownst to Greenlee, Ryan took his bike out riding all night to clear his head. She is in the midst of making panicked phone calls to hospitals when her husband walks in. She quickly gets off the phone and rushes to him, exclaiming how worried she was. Ryan acts as if it's no big deal, and says when he does it again, he'll call. She is flabbergasted that a repeat performance is even an option. After a moment, Greenlee apologizes again for trying to make a baby with him, without his consent. She then tells him that taking off without letting her know and making her worry is not a fair tradeoff. After being met with silence, she asks if they can go back to the good part before she messed up. Still offering up no answers, Greenlee gives up and starts to walk away, frustrated. Ryan calls out to her and apologizes, saying it wasn't his intent to try to get her back. Her temper tamed slightly, she turns around and tells him that the therapist called while he was gone. Ryan, agitated because the doctor wasn't able to help Jonathan, tells her to throw the message out. Greenlee reminds him that Jonathan fooled everyone, and that it might not be such a great idea to close the door on therapy. Ryan flips out and he demands that Greenlee stop trying to fix him. Greenlee reminds him that he once said that he needed help to work through his problems, but Ryan insists that he changed his mind. Still unwilling to abandon the idea, Greenlee tells him that he needs to deal with what happened, and she says that she knows she can help him. Ryan then suggests that it's her that has the problem, and that her mission to save him is a way to avoid focusing on her own issues. Greenlee admits that she is still hurting over everything that went down, but she refuses to let Ryan turn everything around and lay it all on her shoulders. Ryan tells her, with a note of finality, that if she doesn't have a problem, then they don't have one as a couple.
Shortly thereafter, Greenlee storms back into the living room with a tray and starts to clean up the food from the night before. Ryan interrupts her to apologize, saying that riding around on his bike for hours does so much more for him than lying on a couch in a doctor's office. Greenlee apologizes again, saying that she just doesn't want their conflicting ways of dealing with tragedy to break them up. Ryan swears that they will be fine - they just need to accept that they are going to make different choices to make it to the same goal. Just then, Greenlee notices the bruise on his face and his scratched up hands. She asks what happened and Ryan immediately goes on the defense again, backing away from her and not allowing her to examine him. Again, Greenlee tells him that she just wants to help, and again Ryan shuts her out by saying he needs space, not someone smothering him, or a shrink or a baby.
Greenlee reenters the living room and finds Ryan staring thoughtfully out the sliding glass doors. She attempts to be helpful and asks if she can get Ryan something to eat. Still exceedingly touchy, he tells Greenlee that he needs space and sleep. Taken aback, she tells him she won't stop him from getting what he needs. He asks her to stay in the living room while he sleeps in the bedroom, and she agrees. After he storms off, Greenlee decides to give Ryan a taste of his own medicine, and takes off without a word.
Brooke shows up at Wildwind, much to Maria's dismay. She has some new papers for the estate that she needs to drop off. Upon seeing how she is dressed, Brooke asks if Maria plans on attending the ceremony that evening, where Edmund will be posthumously given a humanitarian award. Maria admits that she had forgotten about it, mainly because the event will be extolling Edmund's virtues. Maria forces a cheerful tone into her voice as she talks about how great the evening will be, and how much she looks forward to choking out a speech filled with gratitude for her lying, vengeful husband. Just then, Maddie enters the room. She regards her mother with disdain and then brightly greets Brooke with a smile and a hug. Maddie then starts to ask Brooke about buying something with money from her share of the estate. With Maria looking on, Brooke tells the youngest Grey that even though she is the trustee, approval is still needed from her mother. The doorbell rings, and Maria announces that Maddie is well aware of the rules, and then goes to answer the door. With her mother gone, Maddie pleads her case for a new computer. She says that the one she has is old and that it doesn't have the components needed for her schoolwork. She also says that she spends a lot of time at her friends' houses because they have more state of the art machines. Brooke is taken in, and says that she will look into the details. As Maria rejoins them in the living room, Maddie flounces out, announcing that Brooke has agreed to buy her a new computer. With her daughter gone, Maria's temper starts to boil to the surface. She informs Brooke that she bought Maddie a new computer last month, and that what the teenager really wants is something that will burn DVDs. Brooke tries to explain that she wasn't aware of that information, but Maria doesn't want to hear it. She demands that Brooke leave and stay away from her kids. Brooke acknowledges Maria's anger, but informs her that she will not be held accountable for Edmund's actions and decisions before he died. Despite Maria's surly remarks, Brooke tells her that it hurt her just as much as it hurt Maria to watch someone she loved turn into someone unrecognizable. Unmoved by her passionate speech, Maria slings a few more disparaging remarks her way. Frustrated, Brooke put the paperwork on the table and says that if Maria can't make the ceremony, she can find someone to accept the award for Edmund. Maria tells her that she thinks she can make it, as well as think of some nice things to say.
Before Brooke can leave, Maria brings Maddie down to the living room so that they can all talk. Brooke informs Maddie that she knows the truth about why she wants a new computer, and that she doesn't like being played for a fool. She tells Maddie she won't be getting a new computer and Maddie is furious. She sarcastically thanks her mother and storms back upstairs. After they are alone again, Maria asks that all future estate business be handled by fax or messenger - anything to keep Brooke away from the house and the family. Brooke responds that she will comply with Maria's wishes as much as possible, but that if her duties as trustee require her presence, Maria will just have to deal with it.
Tad visits Krystal at the prison, and she warns him that he can't talk to the warden about providing better protection. Tad brushes her concerns off, determined to change the situation. Just as she starts to launch into another speech as to why his plan is a bad one, the warden comes in. She is none too pleased at being summoned and gives him two minutes of her time, with the stipulation that it not involve Krystal's case. Tad quickly drops two keywords, and knows that their meaning will give him all the time he wants. Tad offers to discuss what he knows in the warden's office, but she doesn't crack that easily and swears she has nothing to hide. Initially, Tad mentions a mail order company that hires ex-convicts, but she explains that away as legal easily enough. This is something Tad knows, but he also knows that she has managed to procure a convertible, a condo in Costa Rica and a secret bank account in the Grand Cayman. He then tells her that while he doesn't blame her for skimming money off the top, she should be concerned that "someone" will call the newspapers and the IRS and expose her. Defeated, the warden sits and asks what Tad wants from her. He tells her that he wants Krystal outfitted with more protection while she is a prisoner. The warden is unsure of how to do that, but Tad tells her he has already put the wheels in motion. In an hour's time he'll make a phone call, and a friend of his on the prison board will fax a letter that Tad drafted to her office. The letter contains some suggestions as to how she can comply with his wishes. With nothing left to say, the warden takes her leave and Tad rejoins Krystal at her table. She starts to inquire as to what he'd just done, but Tad tells her that she would be better off not knowing. Further, he assures her that all of her problems are taken care of. He tells her that there will be extra guards watching out for her and she thanks him with a hug. Almost immediately, she tries to nudge him out the door, under the guise of not keeping him from his life outside or any woman that might be waiting for him. Tad assures her that he is fine where he is, but before he can completely convince her, David walks in. He strides over to Krystal and lays a lingering kiss on her. When she finally manages to break it off, she asks David to step away for a moment so that she can say her goodbyes to Tad. Once he does, she apologizes to Tad for making him witness that. She tries to convince him that through all that has happened, she and David have started to grow closer and fall for one another. Tad doesn't believe her because he knows that when she is nervous or lying, she chews on her lip - and she did just that through the story. Krystal immediately confesses and says that her greatest worry is that he will miss out on the love of a lifetime because he is carrying a torch for her. Not swayed from his emotions, Tad just takes his leave before he is hurt anymore. Krystal stops him briefly to thank him, and then watches him walk out.
Upset at how things ended with Tad, Krystal starts to lash out at David. He stops her, reminding her that they are on the same side. She apologizes, blaming it on a bad day. She informs David that Tad didn't believe a word that she said. David tells her that there is only one thing left to do. Krystal thinks he means that they should bag the whole act, but David tells her that they should stop acting and make it real. Krystal doesn't think it could work, but David thinks it will do her good to have something else to think about besides Babe and dodging attacks on the inside. This reminds David that he has a former patient who has the power to influence the prison board. He believes that he can lean on this person to get things to change. Krystal takes the opportunity to tell him that Tad already took care of everything. Slightly amused, David quips that Tad is amazing and that he'd probably bring someone back from the dead for his next trick. Suspicious, Krystal asks what that is supposed to mean, and David dismisses it.
Di wanders into the study at the Chandler mansion, picks up something on the floor, and spots a photo album as she places the item on the table. She sits down with the album so that she can get a better look, but is interrupted by Adam shortly thereafter. He demands to know why she is in the study snooping, and who she really is. Adam bans her from entering the study again, and then explains that he doesn't think snooping is one her duties as nanny. Di insists that he read the situation wrong - and that she only wanted to see what JR's mother looked like. Adam tells her that he doesn't trust her, and Di fires back, citing that it is ludicrous to come to such a conclusion just because she was looking at pictures. Adam clarifies and says that she has been entrusted with a family treasure, and he would feel more comfortable if he knew more about her. Understanding as much, Di tells him to feel free to look at her references, and notes that JR seems to be pleased by them. She then asks if it is really her that Adam doesn't trust, or if it's JR. Miffed, Adam runs down a brief list of what is expected of her in the capacity of nanny to his grandson, and what is not. Di apologizes for being so confrontational, but she says that she takes her job very seriously and she tends to lose it when her integrity is questioned. Adam is unconvinced that she has any integrity, and Di feels the need to explain what kind of information she can glean from pictures that will help her do a better job. Adam tells her that all of the extraneous things she thinks she can help out with are none of her concern - that all matters concerning the emotional well-being of JR and his son would be handled solely by Adam. Taking her turn at being offended, Di points out what a wonderful job he has done to this point.
Jamie is working on a motorcycle at the shop when JR comes in and tips it over on his brother. Then, leaning part of his weight on top of the bike, he demands that Jamie make Tad stop spreading lies about Dixie. Completely in the dark about what has been going on, Jamie tells his brother as much. Just then, Babe comes into the shop and demands that JR let Jamie up. She backs up her menacing tone by grabbing a metal tool and threatening to beat him over the head with it. JR dares her to do it, telling her that he might have to climb over the bike to get out of the way. Babe doesn't back down and says that she will make good on her threat and call it self defense, because he was attempting to kill Jamie. She then tells him that after she does that, she'll take that information to the courts and regain custody of their son. Briefly considering that possibility, JR gives one more slight push down on the bike and then releases it completely. Jamie slides out from underneath the bike and starts to go at JR. Barely containing himself, he announces that since JR couldn't kill him in Florida, perhaps he was going for another ambush today. He invites JR to bring it if he still wants in on the fight. Jamie pulls him arm back, with every intention of knocking his brother out, but Babe stops him. She tells her fiancé that if he follows through, JR will find a way to use it against her with Child Services. Jamie backs off and tells JR he has 30 seconds to leave the premises. JR shoots back that Jamie has just about as much time to call his dad off from spreading lies. Making a threat of his own, JR promises that if Tad isn't stopped, JR will come back and knock his brother's brains out. After he leaves and Babe is sure that Jamie is okay, she verbalizes her fears about JR's mental state. Jamie tells her that this outburst is different because it is fueled somehow by his mother.
A short time later, Adam goes after Di again, suggesting that perhaps she is a reporter looking for the latest inside scoop on the Chandler family - or perhaps a deranged fan who followed the custody battle in the papers and forced her way in to get closer to the family. Di insists she is just a hard working woman, trying to do her job and trying to fit in as best she can. Adam tells her that he has a problem with the hired help being so confrontational, but before he can move in to try to draw blood again, JR enters the study. He mocks his father by asking if his problem with Di is that she didn't immediately click her heels and say "Yes sir." Adam tries to win his son over to his side by telling him Di was snooping. Di immediately comes to her own defense and reveals that she was looking at a photo album. JR gives Di permission to look at whatever she wants, precisely because he wants her to get to know the family. Adam, perturbed by his son's flippant attitude, asks to speak with him privately, but JR feels there is nothing to discuss. He announces that he is happy with Di in her current position and notes that, more importantly, his son is happy with her. He gives his father the option of dealing with Di as the new nanny, or taking his frustrations elsewhere.
With Adam gone, JR and DI look over the photo album together. She asks a few questions, and then JR apologizes for his father's behavior, noting that Adam hates it when he's not in control. Di lets it all go, having come to that conclusion already. She apologizes for rocking the boat, but JR assures her that it's not a problem - he likes that she wants to get to know the family. He then regales with a story from his youth, and Di notes that she sees a lot of Dixie in JR.
Tad returns to the headquarters of the PI agency and finds his son reading the file he started on Dixie. He admonishes his son for violating the confidentiality of the files, but Jamie pays little attention, opting instead to ask why his father didn't tell him what was going on. After Jamie explains the events of the day, Tad apologizes for JR. Jamie isn't worried about it, feeling that he can handle anything his brother can dish out. He simply wants to know everything that is going on, and Tad tells him that everything to know is in the file Jamie just read. Jamie tells his father that JR believes Tad is responsible, and Tad tells Jamie that he believed Adam was behind it all. Knowing now that neither scenario is true, Jamie wants to know if Tad thinks there is any truth to the story. Tad tells Jamie that after the Jane Doe met with the doctor, the trail goes cold. He also tells his son not to jump to conclusions because it's still a long shot to think that Dixie is still alive - but Jamie knows that Tad has been considering the possibility. He also knows that if Dixie is alive - everything will change.
Stuart is gardening out on the patio when Babe calls to him from the bushes. She tells him that she had to make sure that Little Adam was okay, and then tells him about the incident between JR and Jamie at the shop. Stuart assures her that JR would never do anything to hurt his son, but Babe is still worried. She asks if Stuart could check on the baby, just to ease her mind. Stuart happily agrees but as he turns around to do so, they see Adam at the door. He tells Babe that she has just a few seconds to explain why she is on his property - or he will call Child Services to have her visitation revoked. Stuart tries to defend Babe, saying that she loves her son and shouldn't be punished. Adam tells his brother that by staying, he is making things worse, and Adam is getting angrier. Wanting to avoid that situation, Stuart goes into the living room. When they are alone, Adam asks again for an explanation. Babe relates the day's events to him as well, and Adam is skeptical - thinking it just another way for her to try to get custody. Just then, JR joins them on the patio, demanding to know why Babe is there. She tells her ex-husband that after the stunt he pulled, she was worried about the safety of their son. JR tells her that Little Adam is just fine, and that he loves his new nanny. Babe wants to know who was hired just as Di walks out to join them. Babe immediately recognizes her and can't believe her eyes. The Chandler men are curious as to how they know each other, and initially Di says they traded a few words at a bus stop recently. Unable to believe that she would make light of what really happened, Babe volunteers the rest of the story - she tells Adam and JR that someone is trying to kill Di.
Maria arrives at the ceremony, and immediately grabs a glass of champagne. She sees a poster of Edmund's face and mutters unkind things about the man she once loved."
