"Amanda arrives at the apartment and finds Jamie on the couch, working on a carburetor. With Babe nowhere around, she holds out two beers as a signal that it's time for some fun. Amanda continues to try to seduce Jamie without letting him know about her ulterior motives, but Jamie ignores all of her moves. He tells her that she should go off to the beach and hang out with some people who might have a bonfire going. Amanda tells him that she's not ready to meet any new guys, and that she should really stay home and hit the books. Jamie asks what she's studying and she coyly tries to make him guess. Finally, she tells him that she's studying anatomy and that he should help her with the specifics. Continuing to ignore the innuendo, Jamie tells her that there is a big difference between knowing the inner workings of the human body and that of a V6 engine. Amanda confesses that cars are better than bodies because they lack hearts. Jamie asks who broke hers, and Amanda says that there isn't much to tell. He was her first, she thought he was the one, and he thought she was one of 10. She then asks Jamie why guys cheat. Jamie admits that he knows people that have done it, but he doesn't know why. He then says that it will never happen in his relationship with Babe because they have a level of trust and respect that they maintain. Amanda admits that she hopes the next guy she dates is more like Jamie - and he tells her that while she may not meet Mr. Right the next day, she'll get over the guy that broke her heart fast. Then she asks how many people he had been with before Babe, and how he knows that Babe is the one.
Babe visits Krystal at the jail with great news. Krystal thinks she's got the one up, and announces that she knows Dixie's back. Babe surprises Krystal by telling her that while she is right, the good news is that Dixie and Tad aren't back together. Krystal, unbelieving, listens as her daughter reveals part of a conversation she had with Tad that told her he wouldn't be reuniting with his one true love. She follows by saying that even David agrees that Tad and Dixie are taking separate paths in life. Babe wants Krystal to hang on to the hope that she can be with Tad someday, but Krystal tells her that hope does her no good in prison. Even though things seem rough now, Krystal believes that Dixie and Tad will work through things and be more in love than ever. She tells her daughter that she has to want that for them. Babe wonders why her mother would do that when it seemed like the people involved don't want it. Krystal considers this for a moment, and then simply notes that she knows Babe is just trying to make sure that she is happy. She then tells her Baby Girl that she can make her happy by telling her everything about Dixie, including what she looks like. Babe reminds her that Dixie was masquerading as the nanny, and that there was a picture of her in with the photos she brought last time. Krystal is sure she didn't see her, so Babe looks through her purse to see if she has another. She finds one and hands it over, and Krystal is stunned at what she sees. She briefly flashes back to her friendship with Di in the prison, and the look on her face makes Babe worry. Before she can explain her thoughts, the guard comes up and tells Krystal that she has another visitor. It's after hours, so she can only have one at a time. When it is revealed that Tad is her other visitor, Babe is more than happy to go. As Krystal quickly hides the picture that Babe gave her, Tad brings over a care package for her. He starts describing the contents, but when he looks up and sees the look on her face, he asks what's wrong. She tells him that they need to talk about Dixie. Tad tries to distract her by talking about one of the movies he brought to her, but Krystal will not be swayed. Finally, Tad relents and asks what she wants to talk about. Krystal reveals that Babe informed her things weren't going well between him and Dixie. Tad notes that she shouldn't be surprised - because he already told her that he wasn't going to forgive Dixie for what she had done. Krystal then asks a few more questions, trying to figure out why everyone believes that Dixie has returned, despite the fact that she looks and sounds different. Tad grudgingly answers her questions, and then says that none of it matters because she made it clear what she came back for, and he is out of the picture. He tries to go back to talking about frivolous things, but she has one more question for him: Will Dixie's return have a good effect on Babe's situation? Tad thinks it might be possible but isn't 100% sure. He knows that the woman he knew and loved might have had a shot at awakening JR's conscience, but the woman who came back is completely different. Krystal then starts to tell him that she knows who Dixie really is, but before she can, the guard calls time and comes over to escort Tad out. Krystal tells Tad to come back and visit soon since they have a lot to talk about, and Tad agrees. Once he leaves, she pulls out the picture of Di again, and flashes back on a couple of scenes, realizing that Dixie's return was David's doing.
Back at the apartment, Jamie assures Amanda that quantity is of no consequence when dealing with matters of the heart. Amanda applauds him for being able to commit to Babe, especially when there are so few guys that would be willing to do that at such a young age. Jamie tells her that Babe makes it easy. Amanda's tone seems as if she is about to let it go, but then she says that he needs to be sure that he knows what he's giving up. Trying to put her limited anatomy knowledge to "good" use, she talks about all the parts of the body that he will never be able to touch on another woman. Jamie tolerates it for a few moments, but when she starts to go too far, he grabs her hand and tells her to knock it off. Amanda reverts right back to her innocent stance and asks what she did wrong. Jamie calls her out on her flirting and says that it ends now. Just then, Babe returns home and happily greets them. Moments later, after seeing the looks on their faces, she asks who is going to tell her what is going on.
Di asks JR why he is at David's cabin, but JR is much more concerned with finding out what the deal is between his mother and David. David, playing the role perfectly, insults JR and then notes aloud that the younger Chandler is always sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. JR corrects him by saying that if it involves his mother, it is his business. JR demands to know the truth about what is going on, and David is all too happy to give it to him. Although Di tries to keep David quiet, he refuses to be silenced and for once, JR is glad. David deftly spins a story about his connection with "Dixie": that he knew she was alive and that she contacted him about 9 months after her accident. He claims that while everyone was mourning JR's mother, David was with her, holding her hand. JR considers this for a moment, and then declares that David is a liar. His proof is that David was just as surprised to see her as everyone else has been. David insists that his surprise was solely because he couldn't believe she was in Pine Valley. He offers to let "Dixie" explain, but all she wants to do is get out of the cabin and go home. Instead, the boys continue to verbally spar, with David announcing that the reason "Dixie" can't come up with anything to say is because she cares about her son's feelings. On the other hand, David could care less and is perfectly willing to tell JR exactly what he thinks. JR asks his mother to deny what David is saying, but once again, David interrupts and demands that JR not lay the blame on Dixie, but rather on himself, and all the men in her life. David tells JR that everyone always wanted Dixie to make their lives better and happier, while David was the only one concerned about Dixie and her well being. JR still believes that David is to blame - because he should have told everyone that she contacted him. Di says that the situation was complicated, but JR doesn't need her explanations. He reminds David that Dixie wrote a letter saying that she wanted to get back together with Tad and be a family again. JR believes that David was so furious that Dixie chose Tad instead of him that he had to exact his revenge somehow - and keeping Dixie from her loved ones was the way to do it. David calmly informs JR that Dixie was adamant that her survival be kept from her family. Di pleads with JR to leave with her so that they could talk things over in private. David, unable to stay quiet, urges her to tell her "son" the truth in the now, instead of making him wait. JR agrees, and says that he wants to hear, in his mother's own words, why she chose to play things out the way that she did. Di is flustered and searching for words, creating a brief pause in the flow of the discussion. David stomps all over her moment and tells JR that their deal was only that he leave her in Europe, come back to Pine Valley and never breathe a word about her still being alive. JR explodes because David dared to defy his wishes. David, unflinching, blasts JR for not recognizing his mother's return for the miracle that it is. He tells JR that if he, Tad and the rest of Dixie's family can't treat her with the love and respect she deserved, he would gladly take the role. Fed up, JR silently walks out of the house. When he is gone, David starts strutting about the house, full of himself for playing the role. He tells Di that she doesn't have to thank him, and infuriated, she slaps him across the face. As he recovers, she asks why he had to be so mean. David tells her that the nastier the lie, the quicker JR and the rest of Dixie's loved ones will take the bait. Di, disgusted once again by David's tactics, questions how Dixie could have ever loved him. David, exasperated, reminds her one more time that the only things she knows about the story is what he has told her - and that from where she stands, she has no right to question or doubt anything. Di, unwilling to buckle in the face of his anger, shoots back that the stupidest thing Dixie ever did was get involved with David. She then storms out of the cabin.
A short time later, Di finds JR at the boathouse, and she immediately tries to explain why she contacted David but not the rest of the family. She tells him that she knew that she could contact David and walk away again, but that she wouldn't be able to do that with her son. JR muses for a moment and then says that when he dies, it will be because of all of the lies people told him. Di swears that she loves him with all her heart, but JR admits that he is finding that harder to believe the more times he hears it. Di admits that she has asked him to excuse a lot of her behavior since she came back, and this time is no different. She asks if he can find a way to get past this latest transgression.
Back at the cabin, David is standing out on his deck nursing a drink when the phone rings. He comes inside, picks it up and finds Krystal on the other end. She asks him if he could visit tomorrow, but David tells her he is wrapped up in something and can't make it. She simply tells him that she has seen Dixie, and it's a hard face to forget. She says she will see him soon and hangs up, leaving a bewildered David hanging on the other end of the line.
Simone is on the phone with someone interested in Fusion products when Tad arrives. He tolerates this but for a moment, then takes the phone and hangs it up, severing the connection. She is shocked, but intrigued as to what is so important. He tells her that he is not in the mood to pour his heart out - more like a 'go somewhere, do something to blow off steam' mood. Just as he's running suggestions by her, Ethan walks in. Having heard everything, he invites himself along on their trip. After a flustered moment, Simone asks Ethan to give her a few minutes alone with Tad, and he obliges and heads into the back. When they are sure he is out of earshot, Simone tries to get Tad to spill anyway, but he just offers a rain check. Just then, Ethan comes back, and Tad takes that moment to make his getaway. He tells her to have a good time, tells Ethan to be nice to her, and goes to call the elevator. Once they are alone, Ethan offers to take Simone on a 5-star date including a limo, champagne...and a night of gambling at his father's casino. Simone's mood turns cold and she goes over to the phone. Ethan is taken aback that she wants to call Tad back and go have fun with him. Completely unaware of his faux pas, Simone has to explain that her idea of a good time does not include anger and revenge toward his father and new stepmother. She reveals that while she comes off as a ditz, she's not blind, and she's not into playing those kinds of games. Shocked that someone took the bull by the horns and put him in his place, Ethan dejectedly skulks out of the offices while a disappointed Simone watches from her perch on a desk. A little while later, as Simone holds the phone and berates herself for sending her date away, a motorized toy truck rolls into the office, laden with board games. Ethan soon follows, on a scooter, offering a different set of games to play for the evening. Simone rifles through the stack until she finds one that she would be good at. She breaks out some alcohol, and the game is on. A while later, Ethan and Simone are bent around each other, their hands and feet on different colored dots on the board. Ethan tries to make a move and hurts his shoulder. Simone offers to massage it, but Ethan quickly shows that he is faking and simply wanted an intimate moment with her. After some small talk in which he assures her that they will one day soon make love, they lock into a kiss.
Kendall starts to take off from Zach's office, bound and determined to save Ryan. Zach is nowhere close to allowing her to leave without finding out her game plan. She doesn't really have one, and Zach warns her that she may not be able to handle Ryan in his current state of mind. Kendall isn't scared, believing that she is prepared for whatever Ryan can dish out. Zach continues his warning by saying that while she may be able to handle screaming, Ryan might not stop there. Kendall isn't convinced that Ryan would do anything to her, but Zach doesn't think the situation is so easily dealt with. He proposes that they sit down and figure out a better, safer alternative - but Kendall doesn't think that she has that kind of time. With Ryan on the brink of disaster, and Greenlee about to do whatever it takes to save Ryan and her marriage, she tells her wary husband that if he isn't going to help, he should stay out of her way. She starts to leave, but Zach insists that he's going with her. She asks why, since Zach has made it more than obvious that he doesn't like Ryan and has no reason to want to help. Zach confirms that he doesn't like Ryan and couldn't care less what happens to him. However, he clarifies, he has a vested interest when Kendall is involved because there is the possibility that he could lose a business partner. He intends to protect that interest at all cost. Realizing that things will end badly if Zach jumps into the fray, Kendall decides to take a different tack. She tells her husband that she will enlist the help of people who actually care about Ryan. She stalks out, and after smiling to himself at the scene just played, he follows her.
Greenlee lies awake in bed, while her husband sleeps somewhat peacefully next to her. She turns over and she hears all of the words that were spoken by various people that warned her against having Ryan's child. She rolls back over, waking Ryan up, and asks him if he will tell her how he really got hurt. At a loss, Ryan asks what Greenlee wants to hear. She confesses that she talked to David, and Ryan latches on to that as an opportunity to write off his bruises. Greenlee is concerned about the altercation, but Ryan tells her that they have gotten physical before. Still seeing the worried look on her face, Ryan asks his wife if David told her that Ryan would be just like his brothers. Greenlee is hesitant to admit it, but Ryan already has his answer. He tells her that for once, David might be right, but she refuses to believe that. She then tells him that David informed her that Ryan had also been in a completely different fight. Ryan tells her to forget about David because they will be okay. A short time later, with the lights out and the duo lying side by side again, Ryan sleeps fitfully as he has a nightmare. In it, although Ryan believes he fixed everything and tells his wife so, she still mysteriously disappears. Kendall and Simone appear before him, refusing to let Ryan get close to Greenlee so that he won't hurt her anymore, and his father and brother take turns appearing and disappearing, always in possession of Greenlee. Then, Jonathan and Greenlee alternate saying "You said you loved me", and then Greenlee ends by saying, "And then you killed me." It's at that moment that Ryan awakens from the nightmare, completely freaked out. He checks to make sure he didn't wake Greenlee, gets out of bed, quickly gets dressed and leaves. When she hears the doors shut, Greenlee reveals that she had been awake the whole time.
Back at Fusion, Simone and Ethan are interrupted before things can get too deep when Kendall comes bursting into the offices, requesting Simone's help. By the look on her face, she is none to happy about the scene on the floor. When she finally regains the use of her voice, Kendall tries to belittle the scene but Simone won't have any of it. They trade barbs a few times before Ethan stops them and tries to nicely ask what Kendall needs help with. Angered, Kendall refuses to divulge the details, instead insisting that she would go off on her own to save Greenlee. She stalks out to the elevator just as it opens, and Greenlee emerges. Simone joins them in the foyer, and Greenlee tells them that when she heard Ryan leave, she got up and followed him. Eventually, she lost him so she thought she would come to them for help. However, after saying it out loud, she is convinced that she is overreacting once again, and decides that she is just going to go home and go back to sleep. As Ethan looks on, Kendall stops Greenlee, admitting that she knows where Ryan really goes and why."
