"Tad and Di stop by and visit Jonathan at the penthouse under the guise of Di giving him a gift, thanking him again for saving her life. He invites them in, only to hear that Adam Chandler was talking about him, saying that Jonathan hadn't changed since his surgery. The tone in Jonathan's voice changes, as he notes that neither Adam nor his son should talk, as they are the bad ones. Tad informs him that Adam is someone that he always tries to steer clear of, and tells Jonathan that maybe he should adopt the same policy. Then, as Jonathan opens his gift, Tad introduces the idea of an interview with Brooke on his heroics as a way to find out if he knew who Brooke was. Jonathan denies any knowledge and enjoys his new gift, unaware. Next, Di tells him that she is starting to remember what happened at the lake, and that she was beginning to think it wasn't an accident. As he listens, Jonathan's face darkens. He starts to think they are implying that he is really the culprit rather than the hero, and he asks them to leave. Although they try to explain that they were really just trying to jog Di's memory, Jonathan remains highly agitated and practically pushes them out the door. Tad manages to give Jonathan his card before leaving, telling him that he can call any time if he thinks of anything. Once alone in the penthouse, Jonathan flashes back to Janet's visit, where she suggested that they didn't get all of his tumor, and that he is responsible for all of the bad things that have been happening. Then, Erin comes home, toting a bag of groceries. Still needing time to sort through everything, he tells her that he is going for a walk and quickly exits.
Di and Tad make their way to the park to try to figure out what Jonathan's reaction could mean. They believe that either he is guilty, or he is upset because everyone thinks he is guilty. Tad thinks that there may be something he is overlooking that connects Joe, Brooke, Opal, Adam and Krystal to each other. Just then, Aidan calls and confirms that his mother, father and ex-wife were all taken from the hospital - their cars are all still there, and that's where their shoes were found. Unfortunately, Aidan reports that nothing shady was caught on camera. Tad ends the phone call and shares the information with Di. They try to think of someone who could be the culprit. Di thinks it could be Dr. Madden, especially because he had been researching the Martin family. Tad agrees that it's a possibility, but notes that his gut tells him no. He thinks that the guilty party was organized - and insanely so. Di offers David Hayward up as another alternative. Tad admits that while David is smart enough to pull something like this off, there are several things - among them, not wanting to torture his daughter by kidnapping her mother - that make David an imperfect fit at best. Tad thinks a bit more, and then remembers that his father has the same kind of cell phone - and that they both have a GPS feature. He calls the company and explains who he is, what he wants, and that it's an emergency. He confirms that they will call him back on his cell once they get a location. Di then tries to get him to brainstorm some more, but before she gets very far, he drags her out of the park.
At the Chandler mansion, JR argues via phone with a detective in an effort to get an investigation started into the disappearance of his father and stepmother. After he abruptly ends the call, he turns to a worried Babe and tries to reassure her that the best people are working on the case, and that their parents will be found soon. Babe starts to go up and check on their son, but JR convinces her that it would be pointless. She relents and confesses that the worrying is sending her over the edge - especially because of the fact that besides her son, her mother is the only person she has. Tenderly, JR tells her that she has him too. Babe calls him on it, insisting that he is only saying that to calm her down. JR, almost pained by the admission, tells her that he loves her...that it's always there, even though his actions most of the time make it hard to believe. He then tells her that everything will work out - everyone will be found, and then they will run back to their island getaway so that they can get married. He believes they can have what they always wanted: them together, and in love. Guilt-ridden, Babe tries to convince JR that he doesn't want to make that kind of commitment to her. He tells her that he has seen her for who she really is: someone who believes in miracles so much that she will put her heart on the line time and time again in the hopes of getting just one. He then says that he wants to be the person to give that to her, and he believes that they can make it work. All he needs to know is that she is still willing to go on the journey with him. He goes on to say that he is really invested in the idea of having a family again, one where their son sees them getting along instead of forcing him to split his time between two feuding sides. Unable to take anymore, Babe interrupts him and says that she can't marry him without telling him the truth.
In the back of the truck, Adam and Krystal declare their love for one another, and seal it with a kiss. Opal takes notice and alerts Brooke and Joe by singing her own version of a kids' kissing jingle. After indulging in a few more moments of face time, Adam tells Krystal that they should go on a honeymoon, now that they are open and honest about their real feelings. Krystal thinks that the kids should decide since she thinks they should go on the honeymoon as well. Adam is a little befuddled at first, but finally gives it up to the old "if you can't beat them, join them" adage.
A short time later, the gas starts to wear off and Krystal and Adam break off mid-kiss, bewildered. The card players continue on merrily for a moment longer, and then start to realize that they'd been playing nonsensical games. Joe is able to inform the group that they had been the victims of laughing gas. Krystal swears that she didn't mean it when she told Adam she loved him. He shoots back that she did, and just didn't want to admit it. They all wonder again who would be crazy enough to subject them to such treatment.
Amanda begs her mother to confess anything that she may have done recently. Janet tells her that she does things for her every day, and that she will fill her in if she promises not to cry. She then completely avoids the subject, and instead starts discussing frivolous things like changing her hair color so that she can be more beautiful to Amanda. Dismayed, Amanda asks if her mother had been taking her medicine and getting her check ups. Janet refuses to confirm or deny Amanda's implication, choosing instead to gaze into the mirror. Although Amanda tries to drag her away, the frumpy reflection staring back warns Janet not to say much more, lest she clue her daughter in, thus helping herself back into jail. She lies to Amanda, telling her that the mirror no longer talks to her. Amanda tells her mother that a lot of weird things had been happening, and that she just wants Janet to be safe. Janet insists that she has always taken stellar care of herself, and then quickly notes that she needs to leave because of a flight leaving in an hour. Amanda, trying valiantly to hold back her tears, nods mutely as her mother hurries out of the apartment.
Jamie returns home and Amanda asks after where he'd been. He tells her that he saw his dad first, and found out that in addition to Krystal and Adam, his mother, grandmother and grandfather were also missing. After that, he tells her that he spent time with Aidan reviewing hospital security tapes. Horrified by the news, Amanda falls back into an old habit that helps calm her nerves: baking. She then notes that whoever kidnapped all of those people had to be crazy. Jamie appreciates her concern, and she tells him that she cares about him and hates seeing him so worried. Jamie then says that if it was just Adam, he would understand because he has made many enemies while obtaining his riches. The rest, however, don't make any sense. Amanda wastes no time in agreeing.
Tad shows up at his son's apartment, and Jamie asks if there have been any updates. Tad quickly tells him no, and stalks over to Amanda. He grabs her and tells her that he has hit a brick wall in his investigation - so if she knows anything or has any ideas about what is going on, she'd better confess.
Back in her secret hiding place at the warehouse, Janet plops down a gigantic container of oatmeal, much to the dismay of the reflection. She explains that it's her punishment for almost spilling the beans to Amanda. The reflection tells her that she hopes oatmeal is brain food because Janet needs some help figuring out the next step...unless there is something she already knows but hasn't shared. Completely dismayed, Janet admits that she doesn't have any ideas and then she picks up a toy model not unlike the truck her captives are housed in. She plunges it into the oatmeal, and after a split-second, she is aglow with inspiration.
Adam starts the blame game by insisting that the whole ordeal was masterminded by Krystal and Palmer. She dismantles his theory easily, but that doesn't ease the fighting. Then, they hear someone get into the cab of the truck, and they start to bang on the adjacent wall, begging to be let out. In the cab, Janet laughs quietly to herself. She starts the truck and drives off, singing about how her good fortune is their bad luck. She stops a short time later, and quickly exits the truck. She sees it sinking, which fills her with glee. Her unhappy passengers, realizing what is happening, start to scream again, begging once more to be let out.
Zach is sorting through his messages in his office when Julia shows up. She tells him that she is seeking the answer to one simple question: does he want Kendall's baby? Zach tells her that he wants what Kendall wants, but he knows that's not what Julia wanted to hear. She clarifies by saying that she wants to make sure that his bad feelings for Ryan wouldn't cause any problems - for anyone. Zach assures her that he is not a threat to Ryan unless Ryan positions himself as a threat to Zach, or to anyone Zach cares about. Julia asks if he'd like to up the ante to ensure calm waters. Zach assumes that he will need to participate somehow. Julia admits to as much, but says that for the moment, his job is just to convince Kendall that she is not the enemy.
Having just been proposed to by Ryan, Kendall tells him that she is not up for any mind games. Ryan tells her that since she is carrying his baby, it only makes sense for them to get married. Kendall blows it off as a joke and Ryan acquiesces, but he follows by saying that he needs her not to remarry Zach. Kendall reminds him that he has no say in her personal life, and Ryan agrees - but he also needs to make sure that any decision about the fate of their child will not be made without him. Kendall tries to reassure him that she would never make a move on that front without talking to him, but Ryan believes he has every reason to be worried. He briefly alights on betrayals of the past - how Kendall tried to expose him and Greenlee as frauds when he handed half of Cambias over to his ex-wife, or when she slept with Jonathan. Kendall swears that all of those kinds of things were when she was in love with him and are far in the past, and that she is a different person now. She swears that Ryan can trust her with the baby, but Ryan believes that he can't - and tells her that he won't. Kendall is appalled that Ryan could think so poorly of her, and he apologizes, saying that he is just reacting to the bizarre situation they are stuck in. He then admits that he talked to Livia, and while he signed off on all of his rights when he became a donor, he agrees that he should get her promise of inclusion in writing. Before Kendall can begin to process that latest nugget of information, she catches her heel on a wire and almost falls. Ryan catches her, and after she assures him that she is all right, she admits that she's been more klutzy lately. Ryan is momentarily lost in thought, and is only brought back to the here and now by Kendall blithely asking him to marry her. He snaps to attention (which is what she wanted), and then he apologizes. He starts to tell her the crazy thought he was having, but Zach interrupts. He insists that Ryan go on with what he was about to say, but his mere presence makes Ryan's guard go up. Sensing that the hounds were beginning to circle, Kendall tells Ryan that now would be a good time to leave. Ryan agrees, with the proviso that they pick up the conversation later. He takes his leave, and Kendall knows that Zach wants the scoop on Ryan's visit. She says this aloud, but Zach acts disinterested, saying that it was her personal business with her ex. She disregards his statement, and tells him that Ryan wanted to ensure his legal rights to the baby - and that she is inclined to give him what he wants. Zach tells her that he will support her choices, because her instincts have been right for as long as he's known her. She thanks him, and then he literally sweeps her admittedly tired self off her feet and takes her to bed. After getting her into pajamas and tucked in, Zach kneels by the bed, kisses her hands and tells her that he loves her. She thanks him for being so good to her - so patient and honest.
Ryan rushes into the penthouse, completely distracted, and heads for the phonebook. Erin notes that both of her brothers seemed to be preoccupied. Ryan promises that he will check in with Jonathan as soon as he gets back, and she is shocked that he is leaving again so soon. She asks what's wrong, and he tells her nothing - at least, someone had better hope there is nothing wrong. He tells her that he has a hunch about something involving his son, and he needs to check it out. With that, he takes off.
David shows up at Wildwood, and Julia seems amused at his presence. She asks why he felt the need to stop by, and he tells her that it's been a long time since someone so smart, beautiful and sexy not only made him laugh, but showed him such a fantastic time. He moves in close and asks if she would be interested in seeing if their amazing night was an anomaly - or a taste of more to come. Without letting her answer, he closes what's left of the gap between them and kisses her. It lingers for a minute or two, and then Julia breaks away, saying that although she likes persistence, tonight won't work. Although he can't hide his disappointment, David tells her that it's fine, and that he thought he would give it a shot. He tells her that he will try again another time, and leaves Wildwind the way he came. Julia turns around and looks into the empty sitting room for a moment. Then she runs after David and asks him to stay so that she doesn't have to be alone."
