"Mateo entered Raquel's bedroom in search of Max. He sat Raquel down for a heart-to-heart. Raquel again told her still-husband how worried she was about Max being lost while in Hayley's care, again saying that Hayley is incapable of taking care of their son. Matt agreed to honor Raquel's wishes regarding Max's care, but warned her that she better not have set Hayley up to look bad. Raquel said she would never use Max as a weapon. Matt questioned Raquel's explanations of what took place, vowing to find out exactly what happened in the snowstorm---even if it meant asking Max what happened. Raquel said she didn't want Max to be "traumatized" by talking about his disappearance. Raquel's evasiveness made Mateo suspect that Raquel was had made up the lost-in-the-storm saga. He pressured Raquel for the truth and she finally admitted that she had lied. She poured on the guilt by saying that while Hayley and Mateo live in a castle and have money and power, Max is the only thing she has in her life. She also admitted that the concocted runaway story had been designed to help her keep custody of Max. Raquel offered her apologies and begged Matt to try to understand why she'd lied to him, gut Matt told her he didn't even want to look at her. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the castle, Hayley blasted Trevor for telling Mateo the truth. Trevor, however, defended his position, saying that he was only doing what was best. Hayley calmed down and realized that her uncle hadn't set out to cause trouble and forgave him. After Trevor left, Hayley played pirates with Max. Suddenly, Mateo burst into the room looking very angry. He told Hayley to pack their bags, because they're "outta here."
Jake arrived at Tad's office and begged Tad to try to talk Liza out of marrying Adam. Tad told just because he had donated his sperm to Liza didn't mean that he could stop Liza from marrying Adam. Jake claimed that he was afraid that Adam would hurt Liza again, but Tad sensed something more than that. Tad asserted that Jake was really about Baby Colby---not Liza. Jake admitted that he doesn't want Adam raising Liza's baby. Jake said he had tried to remain detached, but when Adam informed him that he and Liza were getting married, suddenly he felt like he couldn't let go of the baby. Tad offered sympathy and said he hoped Liza would be able to change Adam into a good father. Jake showed Tad the baby's ultrasound picture, and Tad commented that Baby Colby had Jake's chin.
Meanwhile, Adam led a pregnant Liza through a mall, her eyes covered so as to not ruin the surprise. They arrived in front of an upscale baby boutique, aptly named "The Baby Boutique." After having a talk about Adam's role in the baby's life, Liza and Adam happily shopped for "their" baby, music-video style. Liza thanked Adam for the shopping spree, and tenderly kissed him in the mall.
Dimitri walked into Pine Valley Hospital and saw a very distraught Myrtle. She told him that Erica had been in an car accident. David told them that Erica sustained quite a bit of injury and lost a lot of blood, but that she came through the surgery okay. Then a nurse informed them that Erica had some severe injuries to her face, and that they were not able to perform plastic surgery right away. Erica laid in her hospital bed, with half of her face covered in bandages. The nurses murmured to each other that, "it's a shame. She had such a pretty face." Vanessa ran into David in the hall and commented that she found it curious that David had sustained only a few scratched while Erica had severely injured. Myrtle went in to see Erica while Dimitri stayed outside and asked the nurse questions about skin grafts and plastic surgery. Erica awoke and discovered that she was in the hospital. Still dazed, she looked at Myrtle and asked her what had happened."
