"Adam and Krystal continue to fight in disbelief about the validity of the marriage certificate. Adam tries to convince both himself and Krystal that it's all a joke and decides that he is going home. Krystal won't have any of it because she wants them to get things straightened out before they leave West Virginia. Adam attempts to blow her off and starts to walk out the door, but there are a slew of townspeople that witnessed the moonshine contest the night before standing right outside their door. Soon enough, Adam and Krystal are informed that not only are they legally hitched, but that Adam promised everyone in the bar a trip to New York City and a huge reception in Central Park. The newlyweds make one last attempt to deny it, but the man who married them informs them that if they don't want to believe his word, they can watch the video tape. Grudgingly, Adam accepts what is and tells the reverend that his lawyers will be in touch with all of townsfolk regarding the trip, and that his lawyer will want the video tape. He kicks the reverend out, calls himself an idiot and is rewarded with a cheek pinching from his new bride. Adam insists that they will have to end the marriage as soon as possible. He needlessly reminds her that he'd done it before, and he promises that she won't feel any pain when it's over. Coyly, Krystal asks where he got the idea that she would want to get a divorce. Taken completely aback, Adam can do little more than stare at her in abject horror. She lets him stew in it for a moment, and then has a good chuckle at the look on his face. He's able to relax but for a moment, for she says that she would give him a divorce - but only after he signed over half of everything. Infuriated once again, Adam stumbles over what wretched word he wants to call her. She plays wife and tells him to grab her bags because she'll be waiting for him in the car.
Tad returns to a darkened office and starts to settle in at the computer with his file on Kevin Sturgess. Before he can start, he hears something move in the storage space. He takes out his gun and goes to investigate. When he confronts the culprit, he is treated to an ear-piercing scream. Amanda reveals herself as the source and proceeds to unfurl herself from her hiding place. She then apologizes for being in the office, and explains that she came looking for Aidan, but was too afraid to wait outside. She broke in, but when she heard Tad's footsteps she got scared and hid. Tad tries to understand, but simply says that she can leave a note for Aidan - and that she should be fine at Myrtle's. Amanda reveals that she still thinks there is a chance that the people who killed Aidan's source might come after her. She also tells him that she is still spooked about seeing a dead body. Tad tells her that if she sticks around, she might see more. He then tries to drag her out the door so that he can get some work done, but she resists, still wanting to talk about her feelings regarding seeing a dead body. She tells him that it wasn't until she saw the girl in the alley that she realized how horrible murder was, and how much that made her think about her mother's crimes. She admits that she is worried that people perceive her as the daughter of a crazy person. Tad assures her that, at the very least, he doesn't think of her that way. She then segues into an important question: will he change his mind about that if Jamie decides to start getting serious about her?
Mimi, still in her wedding gown, wraps up a phone call in which she asks to be called only when there are updates. When she is done, she turns to see Slater approaching. He tries to be flip by asking about her honeymoon plans, but Mimi is all business and all she wants to know is where she can find Julia. Zach avoids the question and asks how her task force is doing with their investigation. Mimi assures him that they are fine and proceeding as planned - but that it would be helpful if people like Zach didn't get in the way. Zach assures her that he is trying to help - and always has been. Mimi insists that that the only way he can help is by either revealing where Julia is, or convincing her to turn herself in. Zach somewhat resents the implication that Julia is some kind of criminal, especially since Julia has been trying to help the police as well. He thinks Mimi and her task force would be better served by going after the guy at the top. Mimi assures him that they will, but that Julia might have information that they need. She goes on to tell him that she won't stop hunting for her, and that for his interference, she will watch him like a hawk. If he makes even the slightest infraction, she will swoop in and send him to jail for a stay that isn't very nice. Zach, unmoved by her threats, tells her that her task force is missing a very important connection with Kevin Sturgess. Mimi catches Zach up to speed by telling him that they have been trying to get Kevin extradited for a while now with no luck - so his employees wasted a lot of money if that's what they went after. Zach senses that there is something Mimi is holding back and he presses her for it. She finally gives him the lowdown: police in Thailand found Kevin dead that very morning. Zach thinks that Kevin's death rests on the task force's shoulders, but she fills him in about Tad's visit to Thailand, and how he wasn't very quiet about it. She believes that if the man in charge thought anything was amiss, it would have been because of that. Disturbed by the news, but saving his ire for the man in question, he instructs Mimi to find the man in charge - or he will do it himself. He leaves Mimi to her own devices, but she doesn't have long to stew in her own juices, as her phone rings moments later. When she answers the phone, she receives news she has been waiting for, and takes off.
A startled Julia talks nervously with Del, trying to figure out how to deal with the fact that he has uncovered her hiding at the Chandler mansion. Del quickly reassures her that no one knows she is there. He then asks after his sister, and Julia tells him that Dixie went out to get Julia her life back. She then quickly revisits the question of how Del gained entrance to the room. He tells her that there are still people that don't believe in Dixie, and so when he heard a noise he had to check and make sure everything was all right. He then tells her that she can trust Dixie - because if Dixie said she would help, she will. Julia asks if she can trust Del to keep her secret, and his curiosity is peaked: what exactly is Dixie doing for her? Julia tells him that Dixie chose to keep her in the dark, for her safety...so she can't tell him where Dixie went or who she was meeting. However, Julia continues, she feels that Dixie is resourceful and can take care of herself. Unconvincingly, Del says that he isn't worried about his sister. To distract himself, he offers to go get them some food. After assuring her one last time that he will keep her secret, and that she can trust him, he heads downstairs. While she waits, Julia daydreams about a time in the future where she can do something simple like meet her family for dinner in a public restaurant.
Dixie meets up with Garrett, a.k.a. The Dragon, in hopes of getting him to drop his plans for Julia. Skirting the issue, Garrett simply tells her that he is glad that she feels she can still trust him after all this time, and leans in for a kiss. After a moment, she breaks it off, and he comments how beautiful she still is. She takes it as a compliment, as she learned everything she knows about getting what she wants from him. He insists that he only showed her what was already there. She then makes a comment about how she got too old for him and that's why she was handed off to Kevin Sturgess...that once a girl becomes a woman, she is of little use to him. With a dark grin, Garrett notes that there are so many young girls that need special attention from him. They take a brief skip down memory lane, ending with a light discussion of his current relationship. Di notes that he is completely safe now, especially since he married the head of the task force that's looking for him. She pleads with him to let Julia go - but Garrett tells her that Julia's fate is sealed: she will join her husband, and it's all her fault. He then switches the topic back to her, trying to review what she's been doing since they last saw each other. He commends her on her choice not to sell Kevin out to save herself. Di admits that the alternatives to a year in jail were much worse. She drags the subject back to Julia by reminding Garrett that she and Kevin are the only people that could hurt him. She thinks that since he let both she and Kevin live, he could certainly extend the same courtesy to Julia. Garrett says that Julia has made one mistake too many, and can't let her live. Di doesn't give up pleading for Julia's clemency. Garrett asks why Julia means so much to her, and she explains that not only has Julia been in a living hell for almost a decade, the death of her husband was punishment enough. In addition, she tells him that Julia means something to the people Dixie calls family, and she has to try for them. He asks why he should do her this favor, and if doing so would guarantee her silence. She assures him that he has her silence regardless of the outcome of their meeting. He seems pleased, and then asks her to tell him in detail about the letter she wrote - the one with his name in it. She tells him that the letter is buried deep, but that she needed some insurance after the attempts made on her life. He asks if she really wants to play that kind of game with him, but she notes that they have been playing it for a while. She tells him that they both have lives now, and that they deserve to live them in peace - as does Julia. Garrett skips the last reference and confirms that if he tells Pine Valley that she isn't really Dixie - but rather Dixie's half-sister - she will reveal who he really is. Di doesn't want things to end that way, so she asks him to forgive Julia all her transgressions one more time - as a personal favor to her.
Dani and Reggie continue to stand on the roof of the Fusion offices, but Dani is confused why Reggie is still hanging around. Reggie tries to convince her that he wants to help her out by being supportive, but Dani runs down the list of all of the things she's done, all of the stunts she's pulled, and cites them as reasons why he shouldn't care. She reminds him that he already made it perfectly clear that they are no longer dating, so he is absolved of all responsibilities. Reggie won't be pushed away so easily, so Dani then questions how he could believe her so easily when her own mother doesn't and even she questioned herself. Reggie confesses to a stunned Dani that he loves her, that he never stopped - and that's how he knows that she is telling the truth. Dani can't deal with their relationship issues when so many other things around her are in a shambles. Reggie agrees that they can talk about their relationship later, but refuses to leave her alone to deal with her mother and Garrett. He reminds her that she has friends she can count on, but Dani laughs, wondering aloud how her friends can help her. She tells him that the only people that really know what a pervert Garrett is are her and Josh, and further notes that the creepiness beneath Garrett's smooth exterior goes unnoticed until it's too late. Dani then starts to blame herself - thinking that she must have done or said something that invited Garrett to do the things he did. Reggie tells her that what happened is not about her - they happened because Garrett has a sick need for control. Dani wonders why she was the chosen one and not some random other girl. Reggie doesn't have an answer for that. The only thing he can tell her is that regardless of how bad things seem now, he will be by her side, supporting her. She thanks him for all he is willing to do for her, and he tells her he just wants her to know that he understands how she is feeling now, and her emotions behind everything that she did. She reminds him that she can't really think past today, let alone fix everything else that went sour for her. He tells her to call on him if she needs him, and she promises that she will.
Tad starts to question Amanda about her relationship with his son, but Zach interrupts by barging into the office and immediately threatening Tad. Scared out of her mind, Amanda scurries out of the office, unable to take anymore talk of killing. Tad relishes her absence for a moment, and then demands to know what caused Zach to make an appearance. Zach fills him in on Kevin's death, and berates him for handling his questioning in Thailand with such a lack of finesse. Zach blames Tad for the murder, and insists the same fate will not befall Julia. Tad agrees, and Zach is quick to question him about Dixie's current whereabouts. Tad is confused as to how Dixie's location is connected to his interview with Sturgess, which was completely unrelated to the Julia case, and how that could have brought about his death. Zach tells Tad that he blew Kevin's cover, and now Dixie is the only link left to the man in charge. Tad insists that Dixie doesn't have any information that can help Zach, but Zach announces that they both know it isn't true. Tad asks that Slater to just let him handle it, but this only angers Zach - especially considering that Kevin died because of Tad. He tells Tad that he made a promise to Julia, and that one way or another, he would get the name out of Dixie.
Garrett tells Di that while she was one of his greatest success stories, Julia represented a failure - so whether or not she could hurt him is irrelevant. He then tells her that if he would grant a favor of this magnitude, he would do so only for her. He agrees to think about her favor, and would let her know when he reaches a decision. She asks if there is any way for her to keep in touch, and he hands her a business card and tells her to use it any time. She grabs her purse and starts to go, but at that moment, Mimi finds them. Di falls right back into the role she is playing, and apologizes for the fact that she and Tad couldn't make the wedding. She then explains that she just told Garrett how lucky he and Mimi were to have found each other. Di notes that she has to leave, tells Garrett that it was nice to meet him, and leaves the new bride and groom alone. Once Di has left the area, Mimi tells her husband that something big is going down.
A short time later, alone on the dock, Garrett places a call, and says to the person on the other end that they needed to talk about Julia Santos.
Di arrives back at the Chandler estate to find officials in her room, arresting Julia. Di insists that they let her go, but before they can say anything, Julia unleashes her rage, believing that Di ratted her out."
