"Adam attempts to apologize for starting the current uproar over Di's true identity, but at first JR doesn't seem to want to hear it. As they count down the minutes to when the DNA results will be returned, JR realizes that if they come back in Adam's favor, his father will be the only parent he has left. He notes aloud that he can't afford to lose Adam, and Adam returns the sentiment. JR then muses for a moment at how his father's choices in women have improved (Adam kicked Mary to the curb, and JR noticed that lately, he had been spending more time with Brooke), and then Adam asks if they can get back to talking about their relationship. JR notes that he thinks Adam put everyone through the shredder for fun - and that after the results come back proving that his mother is alive, moving day will be arriving sooner than Adam expected. He tells his father that perhaps a new female friend could give him a child that he could train to be evil - because JR, his only son, is planning to follow in his siblings' footsteps by finally moving out of the house.
Di proclaims that she really is Dixie, which seems to endlessly tickle David. He announces that he is in awe of her - because he has finally figured out how the fake he hired to play the role could actually turn out to be the real thing. David thinks that he knows why Di is betting on DNA results that could land her back in jail, but before he can be specific, she cuts him off. She tells him that the only lie is that he was the mastermind who figured everything out. She reiterates that she is really Dixie and refuses to back down. She wants him to face the fact that she doesn't need him anymore but he keeps pushing - saying that if she waits too much longer, he won't be able to help her anymore. Di says that she forgot how good David was at putting on the pressure until his target caves. She refuses to let him win, saying that if he is skeptical about who she really is, he'll just have to wait for the results to come back. He tries to shake her one more time by stealing her memory with Tad and saying that the stars really say 'David and Dixie Forever', but instead of the desired effect, she is furious and storms out of the garden.
After noting that she has the worst timing when it comes to breaking up with him, Tad confirms Krystal's decision - that they are simply over, with no discussion. Krystal follows by telling a stunned Tad that they were never really together to begin with. Although she says her decision has nothing to do with Dixie, Tad doesn't believe her. She outlines the kind of man that she wants in her life - that once-in-a-lifetime love, where she is first, last and everything to her man. Tad insists that he feels that way for her, and that there is no way that she can tell him how he feels. She tells him that she can see through him - right down to his soul - and even though he doesn't want to admit it, he loves Dixie too much to ever stop. Fed up, Tad announces that he is tired of hearing her "expert opinion" on his so-called relationship with Di/Dixie. He tells her that she is dead wrong when it comes to her take on his feelings for her, but he refuses to push. He won't ask her to marry him again. He wishes her luck in finding the happily ever after that she is looking for and walks off. Once he's gone, Di approaches Krystal from behind and calls her a fool. As she wipes her tears away, Krystal tells Di that there is no way that things with Tad could have worked. As far as she is concerned, Tad always has been and always will be in love with Dixie. The question that remains is if Di really is Dixie back from the dead, or if she's a con artist. Krystal further notes that even if Di turns out to be a fake, Tad's heart, though beaten and bruised, would still go on loving Dixie. Di tells her that she knows Tad was building a good life for himself before she came back, and that she has no intention of stepping in and ruining anything for Krystal. Krystal confesses that she saw Di and Tad in the garden earlier - and that she saw sparks still flying from the two of them. Though they may not want to admit it, Krystal believes that Tad and Dixie are still in love with each other. Irritated, Di notes that while she tried to help Krystal on the inside, it is impossible to help her on the outside. Krystal tells her that the only thing that matters is who she really is. Krystal warns Di that if she isn't who she is claiming to be, and she destroys Tad, all bets are off - Krystal will come after her and destroy Di for what she did. Krystal storms out of the courtyard and on opposite sides of the wall, both women tearily stare off into space, reflecting on everything that changed in their lives that night.
Babe thinks that Jamie's return to the house means that he has forgiven her, but he corrects her quickly. He wants to work out where they went wrong. Babe tells him that she didn't feel that she had a choice when it came to whether or not she could reveal the truth about Di. Jamie tells her that she had a choice - trust him or not. He wants to know when he became the enemy. Jamie tells her that he understands crossing the line when it comes to protecting your family, especially when he did that very thing so she could hold on to her son. She tells him that she couldn't risk letting him in, only to have him turn around and tell his father everything. She admits that she kept the secret because she couldn't risk anyone finding out before Krystal was released. She follows by saying that the Carrey and Martin rulebooks are very different, and she knows that hers is hard to deal with. She also uses this as the reason why she wanted him to walk away. Jamie explodes when he hears that, and demands that she never bring up him leaving again. He tells her that just because they have problems, the solution is not to walk away - at least, that's not his solution. As he's telling her that the only one who would walk away would be her, JR shows up. He misinterprets what he heard and thinks that his brother is finally dumping Babe. He goes off on a rant about how he has prayed for the day that his brother stopped thinking with his tool belt and recognized Babe for who she really is: a lying tramp. As he goes on, Jamie walks over to a side table and finds a pad of paper. He writes a note and hands it to his brother, asking him to read it aloud. JR does so, and realizes that Jamie formally relinquished all of his rights to Phoebe's estate. Babe asks whether he is sure he is doing the right thing, and Jamie assures her that he is fine with it. JR asks what he should do with all of Phoebe's money, and Jamie tells him to donate it to an organization that helps troubled boys - so they don't grow up to be like JR. JR wonders what it will take for his brother to wise up, and Babe looks on, wondering aloud how JR turns hot and cold so easily. Jamie explains that although JR was nice to her earlier by letting her spend more time with Little Adam, he is incapable of doing so around Jamie - because he's always trying to win. However, this is one game that Jamie knows JR will lose because he will never dump Babe. JR, trying to be glib, rips up the note and tells Jamie the money is still his and will be waiting for him when he comes to his senses. He walks out, once again leaving the young couple alone.
In the study, Adam makes a call, attempting to get a progress report on the DNA tests. He leaves a harsh message demanding that someone call back. As he slams the phone, David appears, agreeing that the waiting is hard. Adam wants him to go but David insists that he has news Adam will want to hear - about Di, Dixie and DNA. As with any kind of investment, Adam wants to know what he will get out of David's secret. David refuses to divulge anything until Adam is on board. Knowing that what drives David is the chance to get JR to give Babe a better visitation deal, Adam refuses to play. David retains his poker face, saying that there is one more chance - and that knowledge is power. Adam, believing that the DNA test will end the charade, declines. David intimates that all is not as it seems before taking his leave. Adam's alone time is short-lived as Tad enters the library. He asks Adam if there had been any news about the tests, and Adam is forced to admit that he is still in the dark. Tad starts to leave, but Adam asks if he wants to press charges once it is proven that Di Kirby is a fake. Tad is unwilling to jump to any conclusions or decisions until the tests come back, and Adam thinks that shows weakness. He tells Tad that Dixie brought that weakness out in him - and in JR. He vows to rid his son of that giving streak as soon as the tests come back. Tad follows by saying that there are a number of things that should be done to Adam for all of the pain and heartache he has caused as a father, husband, brother and human being - and then follows the path David took moments before.
Jamie tells Babe that they are never over, and he hopes that she gets that. She says that she does, apologizes again for holding out on him, and they seal forgiveness with a kiss. As they do, Tad walks in from the courtyard and interrupts. They regain their composure and Babe asks where her mother is. After a moment's thought, Tad tells her that Krystal is on her own. He announces that not only is the wedding off but that according to Krystal, it was never on. David, overhearing from the hall, can't stop himself from joining the small group and commenting. He revels in the fact that Tad got dumped, and offers his very insincere hope that Dixie pans out for Tad - lest he be completely out of luck. Tad summarily ignores David, choosing instead to ask why Jamie came back. Jamie admits that Babe and the test results are what drew him back into the Chandler lair. Just then, Krystal makes her way in from the courtyard, and Babe goes to her, explaining that Tad told them the news. Krystal insists that she will be fine, but it is tested when Di comes into room moments later. Uncomfortable silence ensues until JR comes in from the hall, asking where his mother had been. She tells him that she just took a walk, and then falls silent again as Adam comes in from the study. The silence is broken when the doorbell rings, and Adam volunteers to get it. JR intercepts him and answers the door himself. As they all wait with bated breath, moments slide by. Then, Aidan enters the living room with an envelope and announces that the test results are in.
Greenlee confirms a stunned Ryan's worst fears - that she is having a baby. While he tries to wrap his brain around the news, Greenlee explains that she went to the fertility clinic and that's how she got pregnant. She reminds Ryan about what he said in the gazebo - that he wanted to let go of his past and embrace his future...that the ghosts of his father and his brothers were gone. She pleads with him to see that their child can only bring them good, and that they're future is brighter because of it. Ryan insists that he can't be a father, even if she got pregnant with the help of an anonymous donor. She reminds him of days gone by, when he first got to town and made donations for extra cash, and confirms that she went to that center because of that information. Ryan is still mired in disbelief because firstly, he doesn't think that his donations would still be good, and secondly, he didn't think that Greenlee could just walk in and request it. She informs him that while there is no shelf life - he is correct on the second point. She confesses how she broke in and stole three samples that matched his profile, had them tested and got inseminated. Because it took on the first try, Greenlee feels that it was meant to be. With his anger boiling just below the surface, Ryan reminded her that she promised, on their love, that she would never get pregnant. She corrects him and says that she promised to never have any child but his - and she kept her promise. Still reeling, he confirms one more time that she is actually carrying his child.
Kendall charges into her husband's office, with him following closely behind. Before they tune into the VIP suite, Zach notes that there is no sound. Once the picture comes up, Kendall can tell immediately that Ryan has been informed. They both can see that Ryan is none too happy. With their eyes locked to the screen, Kendall begs Ryan to be happy about the news and reach out to Greenlee. Zach tells her that she is hoping for too much, and she fires back, saying that because he screwed up as a dad doesn't mean that Ryan will. Kendall continues to plead with Ryan from the wrong side of the camera. She is astonished that Ryan's face remains blank, and muses aloud regarding the reasons why. Zach steps in and explains that his expression is merely the calm before the storm.
Greenlee apologizes to Ryan for dropping another bomb on him, especially after all he has been through. She explains that she started from a place of love, and that is what gave her the courage to go through with her plan. She tells him that she knows it will take him a while to get used to the idea, and to get to the place where she started, but she has faith that he will succeed. She talks about the things that they will get to do together and the things they can plan, all with tears brimming just behind her eyelids. As Ryan stands there speechless, she grabs his hand and places it on her stomach.
Ryan stands there for a moment, and as Kendall and Zach look on, Kendall holds out the hope that Greenlee is getting through to him. Her hope is short lived as Ryan yanks his hand away and asks his wife how many times he told her that he was not equipped to be a parent. He tells her that the choice he made (in having a vasectomy) was so that they would never have the conversation about expecting a child. He thought that she accepted it, and she agrees that she did...but that his choice justified the choice she made. To stave off the rage, Ryan takes one of the pills that David gave him, but Greenlee tells him that they are unnecessary. Ryan explains to her that he is fighting against the rage for his life, and for hers. He is absolutely certain that a child will open up the door to that rage and he can't allow that. He tells her that the only solution is that she terminate the pregnancy. Greenlee can't believe the words that are coming out of her husband's mouth and says as much. She continues to refer to it as their baby, but Ryan says that since she made it by herself, it is hers and hers alone. He then tells her that she has a choice - either she gets rid of it, or he's leaving.
From the office, Kendall can tell that Ryan and Greenlee are in trouble and she wants to go in and help. Zach tells her that Ryan will only go over the edge if she barges in, but Kendall swears that she isn't afraid of him. Zach tells her that she should be, and that if anyone should go into that room, it should be him. Back in the room, Greenlee tells Ryan that not only does she intend on carrying the child to term, she is not going to let him walk away from them and cheat himself of the chance to prove that he is better than his father and brothers. She tries fervently to convince him that having the child is the only way, but he tells her that she ruined everything. She asks if things were really that fine when he was going to fight club, and Ryan tells her that he was getting better every day. She continues to tell him how great their life will be together, but this only makes him angrier. Unwilling to relent, Greenlee tries to get close to Ryan, all the while saying that he can't make her kill their baby and she won't let him leave. Ryan's anger boils over and he grabs her and pushes her back against a dresser. As a panicked Greenlee stares at a man she barely knows, and Kendall and Zach look on, Ryan pulls his fist back, threatening to hit his wife if she utters one more word."
