"Little Adam told JR, Colby, Krystal, and Natalia that David had been in the mansion. The boy stated that David put him in the nursery when the lights went out. JR was convinced that David should be a suspect for his father's murder. Krystal claimed that she talked David out of hurting Adam, but JR did not believe her.

As Jesse questioned Zach about Adam's death, Ryan entered the mansion. Ryan was furious because Jesse did not tell him that Emma was missing. Jesse said that he issued an Amber Alert, but Ryan was not satisfied. Ryan wanted to search for Emma; however, Jesse had Ryan arrested for helping Zach kill Adam. Ryan denied the accusation. Jesse reminded Ryan that he stated Zach was at the hospital, when he was really at the mansion. Zach told Jesse to let Ryan go, but Jesse refused. Jesse then arrested Zach for Adam's murder.

JR was distraught because his father was dead and Tad was injured. Jesse said that he felt terrible for shooting Tad, but he had to concentrate on Adams' homicide. Jesse proceeded to interrogate JR about Adam's death. JR explained that he saw David outside of the mansion. JR knocked David over the head with a rock and stole his gun. When JR entered the mansion, Krystal was holding Adam at gunpoint. Once JR entered the mansion, Krystal dropped her gun and ran into the backyard.

JR thought that Annie should be a suspect for his father's murder. Jesse asked when JR realized that Annie was in the mansion. JR explained that he was drinking when someone, a woman, threw water in his face. Soon after, he saw Annie and grabbed her. JR was too intoxicated to restrain Annie, so she got away. JR mentioned that Annie could not have thrown the water in his face. He wondered who the mysterious woman was.

Krystal asked Jesse how he was feeling about shooting Tad accidentally. Jesse said that Tad was in surgery, but he needed to focus on the murder case instead. Jesse interrogated Krystal about Adam's death. Krystal said that she was angry with Adam for blackmailing her. She explained that Adam pointed a gun at her when she entered the mansion. Krystal removed the gun from Adam and pointed it at him.

Krystal said that she dropped the gun and ran into the backyard when JR entered the room. She was fearful of JR because he was drunk and mad. She then noted that she saw David in the garden. She lied and told Jesse that David left the mansion.

Jesse asked Krystal if she killed Adam. She looked into Jesse's eyes and said, "No." Jesse noticed that her shoes were muddy and asked her to remove them for evidence.

Little Adam fell asleep in Adam's office. Scott picked up the boy and placed him on the couch, so he could rest comfortably. Scott noticed that Colby was crying. He hugged her and tried to console her.

Scott and Natalia talked about Adam's death. Scott could not believe that his uncle was dead. He thought that there would be a void in the family, since Adam had such a strong presence. Natalia wondered what would happen to the company. He revealed that Adam wanted to leave the company to him, not JR. She warned Scott that he could be at the top of the suspect list, due to the inheritance. He told her that he did not want the company.

Kendall told Erica that Adam was killed and Erica had no reaction. Kendall wondered why her mother did not seem surprised. Erica reminded her daughter that Adam received death threats on a daily basis. Kendall asked her mother if she had been at the mansion. Erica claimed that she was at the yacht club, taking a bath. Kendall noticed mud on her mother's shoes and urged her to clean them.

Kendall received a phone call and then informed Erica that the police requested Kendall's presence at the station. Kendall further stated that the police arrested Zach and Ryan, but she did not know why. Erica asked if she should call Jack. Kendall said it was unnecessary because she assumed Zach already had a lawyer. Erica said that she wanted to call Jack on Kendall's behalf, not Zach's. Kendall said that she did not need a lawyer, and left.

Kendall saw Zach when she arrived at the police station. He smiled as he asked her about Ian. She told him that Ian was doing well. Zach told her that he confessed to the murder, which stunned Kendall.

Jesse interrogated Kendall. She was impatient and wanted to get back to the hospital, so she could be with Ian. Jesse stated that he needed to question her because he did not think that Zach had told him the truth. Kendall then had a flashback. She recalled pointing a gun at Adam, but before she could pull the trigger, she saw Zach pointing a gun at Adam, as well. She dropped the gun and ran into the garden, where Ryan found her and told her that Ian was alive.

Jesse stated that he could not find Kendall in the hospital after Ian coded. Kendall claimed that she never left the hospital. He asked if anyone could corroborate her story and she said no.

Kendall saw Ryan at the police station. He told her that Emma was still missing. Then, Jesse told Ryan that he was free to go. Jesse stated that the FBI and Interpol were searching for Emma. Jesse warned Ryan not to interfere with the search.

A police officer informed Zach that his lawyer had arrived. Zach stated that he did not call a lawyer. Then, Liza appeared before Zach with a briefcase in hand.

Krystal met David at the hospital. She asked him if he killed Adam, and he said no. She informed him that she gave him an alibi, so Jesse would not know that David was in the mansion at the time of the murder. She further informed him that Zach confessed to the crime. Krystal then asked David if he still loved her. He replied, "Of course I do."

David checked on Ian and told Kendall that her son was gaining strength. David then noted that Zach did a great thing by killing Adam.

Scott and Colby were in the library when Scott noticed a bag on the floor. Scott opened the bag and appeared mystified by the contents.

Ryan returned to his penthouse and played a message on his answering machine. The message was from Annie. Annie told Ryan that she had Emma and that their daughter was safe. Annie stated, "Something is going on." Then, Ryan heard a gunshot and Emma screamed. He realized that Annie and Emma were at the mansion when Adam was shot.

Jake told JR that he needed to identify his father's body for the death certificate. Erica offered to go with JR. They entered the morgue and JR looked at the body. JR looked confused and exclaimed, "That's not my father!"

Annie and Emma were in a room in the mansion. Emma slept while Annie sang her a song. Next to Annie were empty bottles of medication. Next to the bottles was Adam, unconscious on the floor!

David told Opal, Krystal, Jake, and JR that Tad was out of surgery. David noted that the neurosurgeon performed a miracle and removed the bullet from Tad's brain. Everyone was relieved, but David warned everyone that Tad was not out of the woods. David explained that the bullet was lodged in Tad's frontal lobe, which could affect his personality, amongst other things.

Opal was deeply concerned for Tad. Angie told Opal to focus on affirmative thoughts. Angie urged Opal to remember Tad at his best. Jake heard Angie's comments and laughed. Jake quipped that Tad's libido was still intact. Angie, Opal, and Jake laughed as they recalled "Tad the cad."

Angie, Opal, Jake, and Krystal visited Tad. Tad opened his eyes. They encouraged Tad to speak. Tad laughed hysterically and everyone was relieved."
