"The Martins and Chandlers gathered at the hospital to await the start of JR's procedure. As they wished they could thank the anonymous donor, Colby rasped that Annie, who was on a massage table somewhere, couldn't care less about what the family was going through.
Nearby, Brooke realized that Annie was JR's private donor. Adam admitted it, but he made Brooke promise not to reveal it, because he didn't want anyone to prevent JR's transplant. Brooke worried about Adam's health, but he claimed that she was being overprotective. An insistent Brooke said that she knew about Adam's health problems. Shrugging, Adam claimed that he'd had a bad year, but he was fine. Brooke stated that the last thing JR needed was for Adam to be admitted right alongside JR.
Dr. Kahn arrived in surgery garb and announced that the procedure would soon begin. She explained to JR's family that the days following the procedure would be critical to JR's recovery. Dr. Kahn left, and Marissa worried that the transplant wouldn't work. Tad and Krystal encouraged Marissa to stay positive. Colby asked Adam if the donor was still in the facility, because she wanted to thank the person. Adam reassured Colby that he'd find a way to express the family's gratitude.
Aside, Marissa thanked Krystal for being there. Krystal replied that it was what mothers did. Though Krystal knew that she had to earn that title, she was proud to be there for Marissa. Sighing, Marissa wished she could be strong, like Krystal; however, Krystal praised Marissa as a loving wife and a wonderful mother. Marissa said that Krystal didn't have to "earn" anything, because Marissa knew that she could count on Krystal.
As the staff prepped JR for surgery, Marissa thought of being in his arms. While holding each other, they both believed that they could take on anything after battling cancer. Nearby, Scott commented to Colby that nothing had been the same at the company without JR. In her mind, Colby thought of convincing JR to live at the mansion.
After leaving a message for Liza, Tad thought of JR presenting Tad with a father's day card, which read, "To Tad, my other father and the reason I'm standing here right now." Tad thought of telling JR how strong he was for overcoming his setbacks.
Brooke remained by Adam's side as he watched JR through the hospital window. Adam asked Brooke to check on Annie, because he didn't want to leave JR's side. In Adam's mind, he thought of asking JR to return to the family business. Adam thought about being with JR and saying how much he believed in JR.
The family huddled outside the glass doors of JR's room as the transplant procedure began. Suddenly, JR convulsed, and Dr. Kahn yelled that JR's airway was constricted. Adam cried out for JR and lunged forward, but the family held Adam back. The medical staff grappled to hold JR down, and Dr. Kahn pressed an oxygen mask to JR's face.
At Jake's house, Ryan demonstrated how he could track Greenlee from his GPS as long as the phone that he'd planted on her was active. Citing Greenlee's location, Ryan and Jake wondered what Greenlee could possibly be doing at Erica's new place. Ryan wanted to charge over there, but Jake worried that Ryan would alienate Greenlee. Ryan left anyway, because he couldn't let David slip away.
At Erica's penthouse, Greenlee erupted into laughter at the sight of a bound and sulking Erica Kane. David was no longer there, but Erica was certain that he'd left Greenlee a clue to his whereabouts. Erica suggested that she and Greenlee work together, because they both wanted David to get away. Greenlee, who had no intention of collaborating with Erica, claimed to be there for a laugh and to wipe away David's incriminating fingerprints.
As Greenlee snooped around, Erica tried convince Greenlee to work with Erica. Greenlee spotted some red roses behind Erica's chair. Beneath the vase was a note and a key. With her back to the roses, Erica asked if Greenlee had found what she'd been looking for. Greenlee sneaked the note into her pocket and showed Erica the handcuffs key that David had left. Greenlee considered tossing out the key, but Erica reasoned that they should act like adults. "This child likes you right where you are," Greenlee decided, placing the key on the coffee table.
Greenlee left, and Ryan entered Erica's apartment to release her. Erica disparaged Greenlee as David's dirty accomplice and relayed that David was desperate for cash. Ryan explained that he was tracking Greenlee with his GPS, and he hoped she'd lead him to David. Ryan's phone vibrated, and, upon checking it, he cited that Greenlee had gone to the hospital. Erica insisted upon accompanying Ryan on his pursuit of David.
In a hospital corridor, David paused to observe Krystal hugging his daughter. He slipped into Angie's office and took a false bottom out of the desk drawer. Beneath it lay stacks of cash and a passport. David hastily stuffed the items into his pockets.
Later, disguised as a priest in glasses, David met up with Greenlee in the hospital chapel. She suggested that they hide out somewhere in Pine Valley; however, David waved his passport and indicated that he was getting as far away as possible. Greenlee didn't want to leave town, but David declared that she didn't get a vote in it, because he was going alone.
Greenlee insisted that her marriage vows gave her a vote. She wanted him to stay, so that they could fight together, just as they'd planned. David stated that he'd married her to protect her, not drag her down. Greenlee countered that she and Marissa needed him. David replied that he hadn't asked much of her in their marriage, but he had to insist that she honor his decision.
Greenlee heard a phone ringing in her purse. Upon retrieving it, she saw Emma's name on the caller ID. Greenlee figured out that Ryan had planted a cell phone on her, so that he could trace her. David stated that they didn't have much time, since Ryan could be on his way. David thanked her for giving a "damn" about him. He hugged her and promised that he'd be back.
When Erica and Ryan arrived outside the hospital chapel, they heard Greenlee inside bickering with Jake. Erica and Ryan entered, and Greenlee quipped that the gang was all there. Greenlee claimed to be schooling Jake on friendship, but Ryan suspected that Greenlee hadn't been at the hospital just to talk to Jake. Jake left, and Erica asked where David had gone. Greenlee pretended not to know anything, and she snickered that it hadn't taken Ryan a long time to run to Erica's rescue. Greenlee tossed Ryan's phone to him and left.
In the corner of a dank, concrete place, David removed his glasses and lit a match. He sank to the floor, and with a defeated expression, blew out the match.
Jesse stopped by the hospital to tell Angie that David might finally be going down. He explained that Ryan and Jake had enlisted Gayle to get the dirt on David, who the police were searching for at that moment. Jesse figured that David was too worried about his own "ass" to go after Angie. Jesse noted that his wife seemed unsettled, and she said that he'd caught her at a bad time. She claimed that she needed to get back to work. Angie kissed him and strode off.
Later, Jake found a sullen Angie in her office. He wondered why she wasn't more excited about the developments with David Hayward. Angie stated that she'd taken her job to protect the hospital from people like David, and Jake reasoned that she was the best person for the job. Angie asked what about Jake. "What about me?" Jake quizzically responded.
Angie reasoned that Jake was qualified, and he had a much stronger stomach for the job. Jake thought she was giving up, but Angie said that she just wanted out of the lies and political games. Jake asserted that she'd had to play David's game in order to win, but once she finally defeated "Dr. Evil," she'd be free. Angie grumbled, but Jake said that nothing he could do would change that she was chief of staff. "See you later, Chief of Staff," he said and left.
Later, Angie smiled upon reading a card attached to some flowers that Jesse had ordered for her. Jesse called to say that he'd wanted to let her know that he was thinking of her. Angie asserted that she should be sending him the flowers. Jesse figured that she had more on her mind than JR and her job, and Jesse promised to be there for her, if she wanted to talk. Torn about revealing the truth behind her troubles, Angie grimaced."
