"Tad interrupted Adam's phone call and said that he had some information about Di that couldn't wait and affected JR. JR entered, walking next to Di, and said that he knew Tad was talking about his mother. JR told them that he had no time for Tad's stories and took Di upstairs to rest. JR and Di went into the nursery and he told her that he had missed her. Di told JR that it was time she told him how she knew Tad, but JR said he did not care and knew Tad was up to something.
Di tried to blurt out that she had been lying, but JR interrupted her and told her that it did not matter. JR said that when he had gotten custody of his son, he had thought he couldn't trust anyone anymore, until she had shown up. JR left, and when Di started singing to the baby, Stuart entered and helped her finish the song. Stuart told her that JR missed his mother; she had been his balance between good and bad in life. He added that they had been good friends and had always been able to cheer each other up.
Stuart admitted that a sadness had settled over the family since she had died, and it made his days even lonelier, especially because Marian was gone for two weeks. Di told him that he would be fine, and he agreed. Stuart said that when Dixie had died, everyone's worlds had started to fall apart.
Adam did not understand how Tad could be right. After all, if Di were Dixie, "why would she lie?" he asked. JR overheard and told Tad that Dixie was dead, and Di was the nanny. Tad told them both that he had lifted Di's fingerprints, and they had matched Dixie's. Tad told them about taking Di's compact and matching the prints to something Dixie had touched.
JR refused to see the evidence, claiming that his mother would never stay away from him for so long if she were alive. She would have gotten in touch with him and not lied about it, he said. Adam started to believe Tad, and when JR accused Tad of faking the prints, Tad was baffled. JR said if he had ever cared about him, Tad would stop messing with his head. Tad said that Dixie was alive, and he could barely believe it.
Adam tried to console JR, but it did not help. JR started lashing out at his father. He accused his father of conspiring with Tad to get Colby back and said that Di should get a DNA test. JR told Tad to get out of his life, but Tad said not to ignore the evidence. Di walked in and told them that she had heard the yelling then admitted that she was Dixie.
Simone went over to Greenlee's with the items Greenlee had requested, but Greenlee opened the door before Simone could knock. Ryan stepped out and asked what was going on. Greenlee told him she and Simone were planning the next publicity campaign, and Simone noted, "Good thinking," which nearly blew their cover. Ryan left to do some work, and Greenlee scolded Simone. Greenlee asked for Simone's Social Security number and checkbook because the clinic would ask for both before they inseminated her with Ryan's sperm.
Simone gawked at Greenlee and said their plan was not going to work. Greenlee stepped out, dressed like Simone, and said that instead of stealing the sperm, she was going to pretend to be Simone. Greenlee headed over to the fertility clinic, where the nurse who had almost thrown her out the other day greeted her. Pretending to be Simone, Greenlee told the nurse that she was single and wanted to be artificially inseminated.
Greenlee was taken into a room to speak to a specialist. She handed her the necessary paperwork that needed to be filled out and told her the type of man she wanted to be the father of the child, describing Ryan, without revealing his name.
Ryan went to Fusion to find Greenlee, but Simone said Greenlee was gone, and she did not know where. Ryan could tell Simone was lying and asked her why she was covering up for Greenlee. Simone ignored him and started asking him about the blonde woman he had met at the club.
Zach handed out some information to his employees at the casino, which was up and running. Kendall walked in and handed him his gaming licenses. Zach thanked her, although Kendall was less than happy about how she had needed to flirt with the "scumbags" to get his license. Zach offered to give a kiss, then a car, for what she had done, but he realized something else was bothering Kendall. She told him that nothing was going on with her life, but Zach told her that being alone got easier over time. Kendall disagreed, citing all of her experience in life.
Ryan walked into the casino, and when Zach refused his gambling offer, Kendall took his bet. Ryan told her that he and Greenlee were doing great and were still married. Kendall was not sure that Greenlee had forgiven him because of her desire to have his child. Ryan tried to get Kendall to see that Greenlee understood, but Kendall wouldn't change her mind.
Kendall wagered that they gamble all of their money that Greenlee wouldn't give up on having Ryan's child. Ryan won the first round of cards, but Kendall said he wouldn't be so lucky with his marriage. He walked off angrily and knocked over a chair. Zach walked back in, and Kendall scolded him for not rushing to her aid sooner. Zach said that the way to get to Ryan was to prove him wrong.
Erica went to visit the new fertility doctor, Dr. Madden. Erica said that she would like to find a woman who wanted to have a child but could not conceive and that they could give a child to. She told him that New Beginnings was a way to give hope to the cheated and ignored women in America. Erica told him that he could be a guest on the show and help a woman who wanted a child but was unable to conceive. She said that it could give other women hope.
Dr. Madden thanked Erica for the offer but said it was not the right time to publicize his practice. He offered to help her in a year or two, but Erica brushed him off and asked him to consider her show. She asked for a tour of the clinic, and Dr. Madden called the nurse to give her a tour. Erica and the nurse passed Greenlee, who was looking through a book of donors. Greenlee squealed with glee when she finally narrowed it down to three descriptions fitting Ryan, just as Erica walked by. Erica was shocked to see Greenlee there in costume and asked her who she was supposed to be.
Maria asked Sam why he was opposed to going to California, and he told her that he loved Pine Valley. He said that he understood that she wanted to move because of Maddie's ridicule, but it was their home. Maria said that relocating would solve the problems. Sam said she was the problem, not Zach or their father's death. Sam said that when they had thought she had died, it had destroyed Edmund inside, even if he had pretended to be brave.
Eventually, they had grown numb and had adjusted to the fact that Maria had died, and the pain had begun to heal when Brooke had happened along, Sam said. He said that he liked Brooke and had been happy when Maria had returned, but it had been hard because she had not remembered them for a long time. Sam said that Maria had her life with Zach and that her disappearance didn't matter. He was honest with her and said that he wanted to stay in Pine Valley to learn more about his biological family, the Martins, not to get revenge on her.
Maria realized that if she made Sam go to California, he would just run back to Pine Valley. Sam admitted that he would and that he needed to stay in Pine Valley and figure some things out. Maria hugged Sam and told him that she was not sure she could leave him."
