Di scolded Aidan for not believing her earlier about T and her friend, Annie. Aidan apologized and asked if she knew where Annie was. She did not know.

Kendall screamed out thank God! They hugged intensely and Ryan picked her up! Meanwhile, Zach walked in and saw this. He assumed they got good news from the test. He congratulated Ryan and grabbed a bottle of champagne. Kendall said this was the best day ever. Ryan stated there would be many more to come. Kendall agreed that the day they caught JR for murdering Dr. Madden would be amazing. Zach looked at her grimly, but proceeded with his toast. He raised his glass and toasted Kendall, Ryan, and Spike. Ryan added the ConFusion opening. Kendall added a life without fears, doubts, and suspicions.

Babe stood in David's cabin with the receiver in her hands. She proclaimed it was exactly what the police were looking for in her home. This made Babe accuse her father of killing Dr. Madden and planting evidence to frame JR. David was confused and inquired what the evidence was. She told him he always wanted to be a good dad and this was his chance. He denied any involvement in the murder. He then explained the receiver belonged to his ex-wife, Anna, and was property of the Pine Valley Police Department. He asked when she would stop defending JR and reminded her of all the times he lied to her. He then said the real question was who she was going to believe, him or JR. Babe admitted she had doubts about JR. Babe said she was torn. If she left JR and he was innocent, it would be the worst mistake of her life. On the other hand, if he was guilty, she could not imagine living and procreating with a lying murderer. She said she needed to know who killed Dr. Madden. David claimed he knew and sadly announced it was not JR. He claimed Zach did it, even though he had no proof. Babe thought David wanted it to be Zach, so he could have Dixie to himself. She asserted she only wanted the truth. David said she could rely on him. Babe retorted he was only out for himself. He clarified he wanted to help her. She yelled she did not believe him or anyone else! Babe ran outside and began to cry!
Krystal and JR were in Little Adam's bedroom. JR had the CD in his hand and asked for Krystal's help. He explained someone was after his family and the only way to stop them was to fight back. Krystal was confused about JR's weapon, the CD. JR then let her listen to Dr. Madden's final words. She was astonished over the content, especially Josh being Erica's son. She asked how he got the CD. JR told her it was planted and Babe hid it so he would not get in trouble. Krystal was annoyed JR found the CD against Babe's wishes. Then, she asked who he thought set him up. JR thought many people had motive, such as Zach, Ryan, David, and especially Erica because of Josh. Krystal suggested he let the police handle this. JR told her they were the same because they would do whatever it took to protect their family. At first, Krystal was skeptical, but JR persisted this protection was warranted. He even swore on his son's life he did not kill Dr. Madden. Krystal seemed convinced and asked who did it. JR did not know. He continued to state his case. He believed Erica and Kendall would never let up on Babe and the CD would ultimately shut them up. Nevertheless, he was worried Babe would be angry if he went public with the CD. He asked Krystal what to do. Krystal said, "I know how to skin this cat." Regardless, JR sensed she was against going public. Krystal clarified she was against people hurting Babe. She encouraged JR to light the fuse and run like hell to protect his family. JR implored her to help Babe understand and she agreed. She also said the fallout would be terrible, but he should pull the trigger and destroy Josh.
Josh walked into Joe's office to find Joe and Jeff inside. Josh announced he was giving his notice. Joe asked if he was sure. He affirmed he needed to take the job in Geneva and leave Pine Valley. Then, Josh confessed he made the mistake with the asthma patient, not Julia. He said he purposely blamed Julia and admitted his behavior was unacceptable. Joe agreed, but believed Dr. Madden's murder clouded Josh's judgment. Jeff asked if they could do anything to make him stay. He reiterated his need to go and apologized for letting them down. Joe urged Jeff to tell Josh. Josh inquired if it was about the hospital. Jeff said it was not and made Josh promise to see him before he left.
Josh walked into Erica's office. She was surprised to see him. Josh explained he came to say goodbye and told her about his new job in Geneva. She asked if he could leave when there were so many unanswered questions involving his father's death. He said at first he wanted to find the killer more than anything; however, after finding out the awful truth about Dr. Madden, he no longer cared. He believed the further he went, the less chance he would have of becoming his father. Then, he apologized to Erica and turned to leave. Erica yelled for him not to go! She reminisced about the first day he confidently walked into her office and announced himself as her next producer. Erica said she did not want to see that Josh disappear. He stated it was an act and he was really a fool. Erica asserted he was not like his father. Josh disagreed because he carried his genes. Erica said Dr. Madden fooled many people, so he should not feel badly. Josh maintained he did not fool Erica. He then asked her to say goodbye to Kendall and his brother, Spike, for him. Josh joked he probably had hundreds of other siblings all over the world. Finally, he sincerely apologized to Erica for all his wrongdoings. Erica said it was not his fault. He said he was sorry again. Erica said she knew and he left. Afterwards, Ryan came in. He revealed the good news to Erica. Erica was glad Spike had the father he deserved. Nevertheless, she looked upset. Ryan asked her what was wrong. She told him about Josh's departure. Ryan stated this was what she wanted all along. Erica was aware of this, but regretted how wounded Josh was, due to his father. Ryan assured her Josh would be fine. Erica explained she wanted to give Josh a good father, like Kendall gave Spike. On the other hand, if she gave him a good father, she would also be giving him a mother who never wanted him born. She knew Josh loved his mother dearly and did not want to take that away. Ryan agreed it was a tough choice, but felt it was Erica and Jeff's decision alone. Erica admitted she desired a relationship with Josh recently, but was still conflicted. Ryan reassured her she would make the right decision. Erica told him to go home to Spike. He said he missed his son already. They hugged and Ryan said he would always be there for her. Erica said Spike was very lucky and Ryan left. Jeff then walked in. Erica stated she already knew Josh was leaving town. Jeff asked, "Do we tell him or not?""
