"Babe is concerned that JR tried to seduce Amanda, who protests that JR is not her type. Jamie points out JR has changed since Amanda left town. Amanda confessed that she was naïve at first, but JR made it clear he wanted her and seemed to hold over her head the tuition he paid on her behalf. Jamie said that JR's family motto is "The end justifies the means." Amanda said, "I am a pro at dealing with the twisted, I've had plenty of experience." Amanda explained to Babe about her mother – that Janet was mentally ill. Amanda said Janet never intentionally set out to hurt her, and her dad would have stopped it if he could have accepted it. Babe & Jamie offer their support and friendship. Jamie offers to take JR apart if he puts a hand on her. Amanda hugs Jamie and says if she needs him, she'll come running, with a mischievous smile on her face.

Tad shows up at the Chandler mansion, wanting information from Di, saying he can't verify some details of her previous employment. Di wanted to put everyone's suspicions to rest, and said to ask her anything. When Tad said he had met somebody in Germany that knows her, Di faints. Tad and JR rush her to the hospital. In a private moment, Tad asks Dr. Joe to run a DNA test on Di – and tells him it's to determine whether or not she's Dixie.

Tad explains his investigation and thinks that Di could be Dixie. Dr. Joe refuses the DNA test, saying he ran one on Bianca's baby and it backfired on everyone. He told Tad to get her consent. Tests showed Di has a kidney infection. Dr. Joe said it could be serious if the patient had one kidney removed. "Do you mean like Dixie?" Tad asks.

Simone and Ethan are on a dinner date at the Valley Inn, and both appear to be having an enjoyable evening. That is, until Kendall walked in. Kendall said Zach was dropping the lawsuit to regain Cambias Industries. She apologizes about the way things ended, and said it was a way out of the pain and confusion for her.

Privately, Simone tells Kendall she will walk away from Ethan. Kendall said it was over, that there was no way he'd forgive her, and gives Simone her blessing. Returning to their table, Ethan and Simone share a flirtatious chat. Simone orders a week's worth of dinners to go, and gives Ethan the bill.

Kendall returns alone to her condo and reminisces about the romantic moments with Ethan. In a brief, but poignant scene, she quietly weeps.

David and Greenlee run into each other unexpectedly at the falls where Leo lost his life. Greenlee is still angry with David for his involvement in the baby switch, feeling he neglected her when she was in trouble because Babe's needs prevailed. David said no matter what happens, they still have two things in common – Leo, and coming to the falls when they want to feel close to Leo. David convinces Greenlee agrees to confide in him, and she tells him about Ryan's life-changing decision. She talks about her wishes for a baby, her plans and dreams. Those dreams are gone, and she feels Ryan betrayed her. David said if there is any chance Ryan might misdirect his anger, maybe it's for the best. Greenlee says Ryan's self-loathing will destroy their marriage.

David says there's a way he can give Greenlee the child she wants. Greenlee misunderstands but is quickly calmed by David's explanation. He said that when Ryan first came to town, and was broke, he made some extra cash by making donations to the local fertility lab. David tells her there is a strong possibility that the clinic still has his frozen sperm.

Ryan goes to Zach's casino, although it has not yet reopened. Zach asks if he wanted to return to the scene of the crime where his brother tried to kill him. "No," Ryan says, "I want to make a killing of my own." Zach's money is his target, and Ryan wants to play blackjack. Zach points out that Ryan has had a losing streak lately. Zach said it's tough when you can't turn to family when you need them, and it's too late for your brothers to pitch in, and offered to play a couple of hands in their memory. Ryan says, "Do you want to commemorate your dead brother too, your father, and Ethan – he's pretty much dead to you too, isn't he?" Ryan says when Zach married the woman his son loved, it was like handing Ethan a rifle and painting a target on his head. Zach says, "That reminds me, I've got something for your family album," and produces security DVD taken before Jonathan apparently took the shot at Ryan. Ryan destroys DVD player in fit of rage. "I take it you don't want the disc," Zach says.

Zach and Ryan begin to establish some common ground. He tells Ryan, "It's something to learn that the brother you loved and looked out for and protected your whole life betrayed everything you believed in." Zach continued his advice, saying some men can't be fathers. "I learned something else -- you can't wish away the fears and the sins of the family because they became a part of who you are now – part of your blood, part of your bones, a part of your DNA. Eventually, they're going to rise up to the top and you're going to infect everything you touch and everything you love." Ryan asks what if you take action, if you fight, can you control your own fate? Zach tells him, "I think the way to protect the people you care about is to put a big wall, cut your self off. No one gets in; no one gets hurt.""
