"Tad searched for anything with Dixie's fingerprints and asked Jamie if he had anything. When Babe questioned Jamie about the phone call, he replied, "He's onto something, or someone." Babe immediately lashed out at Jamie about keeping bike parts in the apartment. She told him to "dump your bike parts wherever you want the same way Tad dumped Mama in prison." Because Tad hadn't been to see Krystal in prison, Babe feared that her mother was going to automatically get dumped. When Jamie explained that Dixie had been a great mother to both him and JR and that he wanted her back, Babe accused Jamie of not liking Krystal and stormed off to work.
Tad sorted through boxes stored at the office he shared with Aidan, looking for anything with Dixie's fingerprints. He explained that he had taken Di's compact from her purse to compare prints, and Aidan agreed to help. The two sorted through mementos of Tad and Dixie's life together. They finally found a snow globe, which Aidan said would be a perfect surface to test for prints. It did produce a clear fingerprint, and the comparison proved it matched the print on Di's compact.
Unannounced, Erica arrived at Maria's, accusing her of wrecking peoples' lives. She urged Maria to go to Zach and tell him he was making a mistake by marrying Kendall. Erica said Maria had to know that Zach loved her and that he had married Kendall as a gesture for his son's sake and to get Maria's attention. Maria said she was having so many problems with her kids that they had to be her priority.
After Erica left, Maria went through Maddie's computer and asked Sam for his sister's password. He refused, but Maria convinced him to look through Maddie's email because she thought the girl might be in trouble. He did and, surprised by what he found, showed it to Maria.
Erica went to Kendall's condominium and ran into JR outside. JR told Erica about Kendall's agreement to get Chandler Enterprises back for JR, but the deal had fallen through when Zach had dropped the lawsuit. JR told Erica how much he cared for Kendall, and Erica asked JR for his help in breaking up "that sorry excuse of a marriage." In return, Erica said she would get Chandler Enterprises back for him. JR agreed.
Kendall asked Zach why they should stay married, with all the reasons they had for staying married gone except for the gaming licenses, which could be handled with a simple contract. She added that they were never going to be a real couple. Kendall admitted that Zach was protecting her from the "L" word and asked him if he had married her to avoid Maria. He described his relationship with Maria and admitted she was his one true love.
Zach received a page and went to a motel, believing he was meeting Maria. Instead, he found Maddie, who ripped her clothes and screamed for help, saying Zach was hurting her.
JR and Amanda had another altercation -- he said if she made one more mistake, she was going to ruin the whole plan, referring to flirtation with Aidan. Amanda assured him she was still working on breaking up Babe and Jamie. JR issued the challenge for Amanda to stay out all night with Jamie. She immediately called Jamie and pretended JR had been following her at the beach and said she was afraid. Jamie rushed to assist her. Amanda pulled out all the stops to seduce Jamie."
