Tad had stretched out on a chapel pew to sleep, but he was awakened when Dixie's glowing hand stroked his head. Tad smiled, saying that he'd known that she was there. Dixie said it was a dream, but a disbelieving Tad knew that she'd been around for days. Tad figured that she'd heard his pleas, and she'd returned JR to them. Dixie stated that she didn't have power over life and death; JR just had more life to live, and he'd live it.

Dixie asked Tad to watch over JR, and Tad assured her that he would. When Tad said that he missed her, she said she missed him, too, and she enjoyed watching him with Kathy. Tad responded that he saw Dixie each time he looked at Kathy. Dixie had to leave, but Tad asked her to stay longer. "I'll see you again-in the stars," Dixie said and faded away.

Elsewhere in the hospital, Angie released Annie, who claimed to be humbled by her experience. Annie remarked that JR would live, thanks to Annie. Later, Brooke approached Angie with concerns about Adam's health. Brooke wasn't interested in seducing him, as Annie feared, but Brooke felt that he should take it easy. She recalled that he'd been his best while married to her, and Angie advised Brooke to do all that she could to help Adam, despite Annie.

Dr. Kahn informed JR's loved ones that he'd pulled through, but they still needed to monitor him closely. Dressed in hospital garb, Marissa and Adam visited JR to say that the whole family had been pulling for him. JR weakly murmured, "AJ..." Marissa said that Opal had taken AJ home, but he'd be back. "Mom..." JR uttered with a distant look in his eyes.

JR described seeing a white light while he'd slept, and Dixie had been with him. Colby fussed at him for scaring her, but she was glad that he'd made it. JR spotted Annie in the hallway, and Colby told him not to worry; she'd get rid of Annie.

Later, Angie arrived to evaluate JR, and he inquired about his donor. She reminded him that the donor wished to remain unknown. JR understood that, but he wanted to know because the person had saved his life. JR peered into the hall. His eyes met Annie's, and she turned away. Angie refused to break confidentiality and asked that JR respect the donor's wishes.

Once Angie left, JR told Marissa that the donor had helped, but the whole family had saved him. The family had fought for him, and he'd fight for them, too. JR fell asleep and dreamed of Dixie, who bid him a poignant goodbye. Standing at her glowing door, she sang, "You Are my Sunshine," and he smiled in his sleep.

When Colby entered the corridor, she told Annie, Adam, and Brooke that the sight of Annie might kill JR. Adam suggested that Annie go home to rest. Annie balked that Adam was trying to get rid of her, even after what she'd done for JR. Colby asked what Annie had done for her brother. Everyone crowded around as Annie stammered that she'd been by Adam's side. Tad intervened to pull Colby away for Damon's trial.

Aside, Adam told Annie that Colby might not know what Annie had done; however, he did, and he'd never forget it. Adam asked Brooke to take Annie home, but to Annie's surprise, Brooke advised Adam to go and rest with Annie. Brooke stated that JR would be there when Adam returned, but Adam looked uncertain.

At home later, Annie was happy that JR was recovering. A shaken Adam reeled at the thought of losing JR. Adam sobbed that he didn't think he could go on if JR died. Annie petted and consoled her husband.

In the cemetery, David sneaked out of a crypt, and visited Leo's grave. David spoke about missing Leo and marrying Greenlee to protect her from Ryan. David said he didn't really want to leave town, but he had no choice. He told himself that Greenlee would be fine.

At Fusion, Jackson arrived to see Greenlee. Because of David's newest troubles, Jack assumed that his daughter wanted him to draw up annulment papers. Greenlee insisted that David and she would be together, but she needed Jack's help. She asked Jack to represent David, but Jack flatly refused. Undaunted, Greenlee pledged to find another lawyer.

Jack tried to reason with his daughter, but Greenlee staunchly defended her husband. Jack warned that she could be charged as an accessory for helping David flee, and Jack swore she'd get hurt if she stood by David. Greenlee countered that Jack had said the same about Ryan, but Jack claimed that Ryan and Greenlee actually loved each other. She responded that she couldn't be with Ryan for the same reason that Jack couldn't be with Erica: self-preservation.

Jack said that he didn't trust David. Greenlee implored Jack to consider the request for her sake, but Jack declined. She attempted to threaten him; however, he said that, no matter her threats, he was still her father, and he wouldn't help her stay with David.

Jack left, and Greenlee went off on Randi for not rushing Erica to fax something. Madison offered to track Erica down, and Randi stormed off. Madison sympathized with Greenlee's spousal choice, because Madison had married a ruthless district attorney, who'd eventually died. Greenlee shooed Madison back to work, and someone approached Greenlee with a call about a roses delivery. Upon answering the phone, Greenlee heard David on the line. He asked her to meet him. "I'm with Leo," he hinted.

When Greenlee arrived at the gravesite, she called out two police officers who were hiding in the bushes. As she berated them for following her, they received a robbery call and took off. David approached, and Greenlee hugged him. They discussed how the police had been hounding her, and he apologized for dragged her into it. Greenlee insisted that she was the reason that he was in trouble, and she'd find a way out of it.

David laughed when she said she'd asked her father to represent David. David thought her father was right about an annulment, but Greenlee insisted upon sticking by David. David planned to lay low until the heat was off, and she expressed her desire to help him. He considered that he might need her help with something after all.

Back at the Chandler mansion later, Annie proposed that Adam and she have champagne, but he said that Brooke was right: he needed to rest. A whiny Annie asked what about her needs. She said she'd only made it through the procedure because she'd imagined him holding her in the end. As Adam hugged her, David watched from the door to the secret passageway.

At the police station, Ryan and Jesse discussed how Greenlee had helped David give Ryan the slip at the chapel. Jesse said that David had locked the chaplain in a closet and stolen his clothes. Jesse had put up roadblocks and grounded David's pilot. Ryan figured that David was hiding someplace that no one would think to look.

Later, Jesse went to Leo's grave, where he blasted his officers for losing Greenlee. Jesse picked up a chaplain's collar and proclaimed that David had been there. Jesse threw the collar at the inept police officers.

Ryan met Jackson at ConFusion, and Jackson expressed his outrage that Greenlee had wanted him to defend David. Ryan figured that she was using David just as much as David was using her, but Ryan had the perfect plan to break up their alliance. Jackson and Ryan agreed that Greenlee was using David to keep Ryan at bay, and Ryan decided that he would end the stalemate by giving Greenlee exactly what she wanted.

After Greenlee got home, Ryan arrived. She tried to slam the door on him, but he said that he was there to offer her a deal. Ryan realized that she wanted him out of her life, and he was willing to let her go for good-if she'd give up David.

At the Martin house, Liza prepped Damon for court. Hill called Damon, and when he got off the phone, he told Liza that he'd taken her advice and called his mother. Hill had said she'd attend the trial, but his father had talked her out of it. An emotional Damon said that his father had written him off after Bailey had gotten pregnant, but his mother had at least agreed to send money for Liza's legal fees. Liza remarked that all kids needed their parents, but Damon replied that it was a good thing that he wasn't a kid.

When Damon went to change, Liza researched Hillary Miller on her cell phone and saw the name Hillary Wilson. Liza called Tad to meet her at the courthouse to talk about Damon's mother. Damon returned downstairs, and Liza stared at him strangely. He asked if something were wrong with his clothes. Liza dismissively said he looked fine, and they left.

Tad and Colby met Damon at police headquarters, and Colby conveyed that JR had awakened. Damon and Colby exchanged lingering stares, and Tad pulled Damon aside to make sure that Damon understood that he had to be genuinely sorry in front of the judge. Tad reasoned that it was the only way that Damon would get his "narrow butt" out of trouble.

Later, Liza and Tad met in a corridor. Liza said that she'd done some research on Damon's mother, Hillary Miller, and learned that Hillary's maiden name was Wilson. Tad wondered if Liza were trying to say that Damon's Hill was Tad's Hillary. Liza affirmed her belief that Damon was the son of Tad's lost love, Hillary Wilson. Tad looked dumbfounded at Damon, who glanced back expectantly.
