"Krystal nervously flitted around the Martin household in an attempt to make sure everything was taken care of before she left. In soothing tones, Tad said that he was certain that when the test results were returned, Krystal would find that both Marissa and Little Adam had escaped inheriting David's disease.
Colby caught up with her mother at the hospital and apologized again for all of the horrible things Colby had said the night before. Colby was amazed that Liza wanted to see her at a time when Colby really needed her. Colby realized how wrong she had been when Bailey showed up with Stuart and thanked Liza for agreeing to meet up with them.
Upon waking, Marissa asked JR if he was still feeling the effects of the chemotherapy. JR said that he felt better and asked how she was feeling. Marissa said that her mood was dependent on whether or not she had inherited her father's disease. JR told her that since Little Adam had escaped that fate, he believed that Marissa would as well. JR tried to get out of bed so that he could prepare to accompany her to the hospital. Marissa told JR that he should stay home and rest, but JR said that there was no way he would let Marissa go to the hospital alone.
Jake was able to spend a few moments of quality time with Trevor before Amanda joined them in the living room. Jake put the baby down in his crib, took one look at Amanda, and immediately reassured her that Trevor would get a clean bill of health. Amanda reminded Jake about the overwhelming odds Trevor faced, but Jake reminded her that Trevor was a pro at achieving victory in daunting situations. Jake took Amanda down memory lane and reminded her that although she hadn't initially wanted to be a mom, he was certain that she could no longer picture her life without Trevor.
David left another in a series of messages for Amanda and told her that she could call him anytime if she wanted. He mentioned that he was between treatments but felt good. He asked her to kiss Trevor for him, ended the call, and walked into Greenlee's room. David was surprised that she was awake and worried when he realized that she'd overheard his conversation.
Greenlee asked what kind of treatments David was getting, and David tried to spin a tale that would satisfy her curiosity. Greenlee saw through his smoke and mirrors and asked for the truth. David asked if there was a possibility of Greenlee letting go of her inquisition, and Greenlee reminded him that she didn't have much else to do. David admitted that he hadn't told Greenlee the whole truth, and she wasn't surprised. He asserted the importance of not letting anyone find out the truth.
Greenlee guessed that David had convinced Amanda that he was being treated for a horrible disease and asked how poorly David had painted his future. When he didn't respond, Greenlee knew that David had told Amanda that he was dying. David tried to deny it indirectly and asked why Greenlee would think he would do such a thing. Greenlee had gotten to know David pretty well over the years and said that David wanted to suck Amanda in.
Without any input from David, Greenlee figured out David's master plan and asked how he would handle explaining why he didn't die. David said that miracles happened and pointed to Greenlee's case as an example. Greenlee figured that David ultimately wanted forgiveness but said that because of his past, success would be hard won. Greenlee offered to help, but David told her that he didn't need it. Greenlee brushed off his denial and said that saving his life was the least she could do after he saved her.
David said that he didn't need to be saved, but Greenlee insisted that David needed something big to gain the kind of redemption he was looking for. David said that he didn't want to drag Greenlee into his problems but when she kept pushing, David told her that things were more complex than she knew. Disheartened, Greenlee begged David to be completely honest with her.
JR showed up at the hospital and took a moment to catch up with his sister. Annie interrupted them, and Colby turned on the charm to make sure that Annie still believed they were on the same page. Colby's goodwill brightened Annie's mood, but the effect didn't last long after the young girl went to check on Adam. JR tore into Annie for putting Adam in the hospital, and Annie had to force herself not to lash out. Instead, Annie told JR that he needed to focus on Adam instead of the bad blood between them.
Scott arrived shortly thereafter, and he, Annie, and JR filed into Adam's room. Adam thanked everyone for visiting, but JR wasn't in the mood to deal with his father. JR started to leave, but Adam begged his son to stay. He revealed that the doctor needed to operate, and he didn't feel like he had much time.
Adam told everyone that he needed a pacemaker, and everyone was worried about what would happen if the device didn't help Adam the way it was supposed to. Adam assured the group that he had no plans to die, as he still had some issues that needed to be resolved. He told his family that his upcoming surgery made him think about his life in a new way.
Adam encouraged the Chandler clan to turn over a new leaf and embrace each other instead of fighting. He told Colby that he wanted her to find something that would make her happy and said that whether it were a career or falling in love, he just wanted her to have her own life. JR scoffed at the claim because Adam had never shown his son that desire. Adam agreed and said that he regretted the choices that he'd made with JR.
Adam was clear about his hope that JR would find a way to be his own man beyond the Chandler name. Adam moved on to Scott and assured the young man that his search for a place to belong was over. Adam said that Scott should call Pine Valley and the Chandler family home. The doctor interrupted and told everyone that they needed to prep Adam for surgery. Both Colby and Scott hugged Adam before they left, but JR just regarded his father quietly and then walked out of the room. The doctor asked Annie to exit as well, but she refused to leave Adam's side.
The medical staff worked around Annie, and as they left the room to head down the hall, Annie made Adam promise that he would survive the surgery. After Adam was wheeled away, Scott showed his support by wrapping Annie in his embrace. Unnoticed, Colby watched the interaction.
After Stuart's appointment, Liza took Bailey and her son over to Tad's for lunch. Bailey said that Stuart needed a nap, so while Bailey was upstairs, Liza and Tad shared some face time. Damon emerged from Tad's basement and interrupted them, and Liza was amused that Tad had hired Pierre and Damon to paint the house. When Bailey returned to the main floor, she was pleasantly surprised to see her boyfriend.
Damon accompanied Bailey back upstairs so that he could see Stuart, which gave Liza and Tad some additional alone time. Liza told Tad about running into Colby at the hospital and her fear that Colby felt replaced by Bailey. She pointed out that she hadn't had to deal with feelings like that when everyone lived in the same house. Tad suggested that the best solution would be for Liza to buy a big house that everyone she cared about could live in, and he rattled off the proposed occupants. Liza said that Tad had omitted an important person and indicated her last choice with a kiss.
Pierre emerged from the basement in time to see Damon descend the stairs with Bailey. Enraged, Pierre insisted that Damon was worthless and tried to fire him. Tad stepped in and covered by telling Pierre that Damon had convinced Tad to paint the whole house. Delighted at the extra income, Pierre quickly changed his tune and thanked Tad and Damon enthusiastically.
Pierre and Damon went back to work, and Bailey decided to take Damon's car and head home. She thanked Liza and Tad for all they had done and encouraged Liza to take advantage of the romantic momentum Liza had built with Tad. Once the room cleared, Liza and Tad briefly considered being a little more discreet about their attraction but soon discarded that notion and locked into a passionate kiss.
Liza and Tad's passionate make-out session was cut short when they realized that they could be interrupted at any moment. Tad's solution was that they go out on an official date. Liza was delighted and quickly agreed. They sealed their plans with a kiss.
Marissa, Krystal, Amanda, and Jake met with Angie and were delighted to find out that neither Marissa nor Trevor had inherited David's disease. Amanda thought that Jake should be happier, but instead, Jake was curious. Given that a person with David's condition had an 85% chance of passing it on to their children, one of the three should have tested positive. Jake thought the tests were proof that David was lying.
Marissa said that she didn't think that David would be so malicious after he found out that she'd lost both of her adoptive parents. Amanda and Krystal, however, realized that Jake was right, and were incredulous that even David would stoop that low. They attempted to posit reasons why, and Jake thought it had to do with David trying to get Amanda's attention. Marissa tried to process the information and thought that there had to be something that they were missing. Marissa then asked if there was a chance that David wasn't Trevor's father.
Amanda said that she had assumed that JR was the father, but when she'd had her sonogram, the timing had lined up with when she'd been with David. Jake said that they needed to do a DNA test to be sure and said they would need samples from Trevor, JR, and David. Marissa went to find JR, and Amanda worried that David being out of the country would hamper their process. Jake asked if David had cleaned out his locker, and Angie was sure that he hadn't. Jake agreed to break into the locker to find something with David's DNA on it.
Krystal told Angie that she should be grateful to Trevor, as David's obsession with the little boy had ruined their marriage. Krystal wondered how different all of their lives would have been if they'd known Trevor's true parentage from the beginning. Jake interrupted them after he had retrieved a hairbrush from David's locker. Angie took the brush and said she would have it processed right away.
Marissa located JR and told him that both she and Trevor had escaped inheriting David's disease. She said that because of the statistics, it was likely that one of them wasn't David's child. She told JR that there was a possibility that he could be Trevor's father.
Jake and Amanda had a chance to reconnect while the DNA tests were being run. Jake said that if it turned out that JR was the father, Trevor would finally be safe. Amanda lauded Jake for his continued efforts to protect Trevor. Amanda thought that Trevor had always been able to sense that commitment. After a moment, she suggested that perhaps Jake was Trevor's father after all."
