Kat took Kendall to an abandoned bar to get her opinion about buying it. Kendall suspected that Kat had ulterior motives, and Kat confessed that "Tom" had asked her to get Kendall out of the boardinghouse while he planned a surprise. Kat noted that Kendall didn't seem pleased, and Kendall said that she was married to someone else. "If a guy like Tom came into my life, I'd be ass over boots for him," Kat replied. Kendall said it wasn't meant to be.

They saw a rat, and Kat decided that the place wasn't a good buy. Kat said that Kendall's life was none of Kat's business, but Kat was a hopeless romantic. As they turned to leave, Kendall imagined that Zach and she sat in a booth, toasting to their love and her return.

At the boardinghouse, Aidan grabbed a bottle upon hearing someone outside. When Tad entered, Aidan lowered the makeshift weapon, and Tad joked that he wasn't thirty. After looking around a bit, Tad announced that Zach wanted Kendall home. Aidan assumed that meant the murder charges had been dropped, but Tad explained that Zach had grown concerned about Kendall's dependence upon Aidan. "Zach's paranoid," Aidan concluded.

Aidan felt that the safest place for Kendall was with him, because the Feds crawled all over Zach. Tad asked to see Kendall, and Aidan responded that she wasn't there. Tad decided to wait, but Aidan advised him not to. Aidan explained that Kendall was vulnerable, and she missed her children. Tad thought that was even more reason for her to return home.

Aidan reasoned that Zach and Kendall were too emotional together, and their emotions would cause them to blow everything. Aidan advised Tad to report to Zach that Kendall was doing fine, but she'd stay with Aidan, who was rational enough to protect her.

When Kendall returned to the boardinghouse, she saw Aidan on the floor with a blanket, dinner, and candles. Kendall seemed confused by the romantic setting, since they'd agreed that nothing would happen between them. Aidan said he was trying to apologize for making her feel uncomfortable. He claimed that he'd transferred his feelings for Greenlee onto Kendall.

Over wine and dinner on the blanket, Kendall said she also thought of Greenlee. Aidan stated that Greenlee had let another man take her away, and Aidan hadn't gotten over it. Kendall said that she'd taken Greenlee from Aidan, but he replied that no one was to blame for Greenlee's death. Kendall pulled Aidan toward her, saying she needed another hug.

Later, a tipsy Kendall joked about getting a tattoo as Kat had one, but Aidan said that Kendall was fine the way she was. She said she liked the whole bonding thing, and left to get more wine. Kat entered, and cooed endearingly at the picnic site. Aidan stated that he needed to speed things up. He handed Kat an envelope full of cash, saying that he needed her help.

At the mansion, Adam reviewed the surveillance footage again, and JR stormed into the house, angry that Adam had left JR a message regarding custody of Little Adam. Adam said that the message had been a ruse to get JR to the house. Adam showed JR the computer screen, paused on Annie and Scott's kiss. Adam stated that JR had been right about everything.

As father and son watched the video, JR advised Adam to kick the traitors out, and get the marriage annulled. Adam asked JR to reconcile their differences, but JR refused to be a replacement for the traitors. JR suggested that Adam either confess, or learn to live with his cheating housemates and a child that probably wasn't his.

At the Yacht Club, Ryan talked to Erica on the phone about Scott denying sleeping with Annie. Zach overheard Ryan say that they only needed to plant doubt in Adam's head. Zach said that they'd better act quickly, because Kendall was returning home. Ryan argued that Zach couldn't possibly protect her. Zach revealed that he'd protected Kendall before by paying someone to take her place in prison while she hid in a secret room at their house.

Ryan figured that had been the reason that Kendall had refused visitors in prison. Ryan said that it was still too risky, and Adam would confess in a matter of time. Zach rasped that he was out of time, and he should have handled things himself. Ryan sarcastically guessed that Zach would have choked the truth out of Adam. JR walked up, saying that choking wasn't required.

JR said that Adam was close to crumbling over a video of Scott and Annie kissing. Ryan figured that a confession was imminent. JR said they'd get their truth, but it would gut Adam. JR strode off, and Zach said that he'd believe it when he saw it. Ryan implored Zach to be patient. Zach gave Ryan two hours to get a confession, or Zach would get it his way.

At Zach's house later, Tad arrived to say that he'd found Kendall, but he hadn't taken her back because he might have been tailed. When Tad said that he hadn't actually spoken to Kendall, Zach grew upset, insistent that Aidan had done something. Tad said it wasn't Aidan.

After Annie bailed Scott out of jail for drunken and disorderly conduct, she explained that she'd convinced a suspicious Adam to destroy a security disk of Annie and Scott kissing without watching it. Annie wanted to get their stories straight, since they were close to getting everything they wanted. Scott decided to return to Chicago, where there would be no more lies or moments of weakness. Annie implored him not to run out when Adam and she needed him.

When Scott and Annie arrived at the mansion, Adam noted that they'd been gone all night. Annie explained that she'd bailed Scott out of a drunken predicament with the police before the press caught onto it. Adam claimed that Scott's deed was detailed on the laptop, and he wondered if Scott had considered what it might do to the family. Annie looked at the laptop, and blanched when she saw footage of Scott and her kissing. Annie stammered that Adam had lied. "And you thought you were the master of deception in this house," Adam replied.

Adam bellowed that he'd told Scott to keep his lips off Annie. Adam theorized that it was Scott's revenge for Stuart's death, but Scott claimed that he'd never hurt Adam. Annie said that the kiss had meant nothing, and Adam would see Scott and her on the video talking about how much they loved Adam. Adam seethed that she'd never loved him, and the baby was Scott's.

Scott and Annie implored Adam to believe that they'd never slept together. "A fake pregnancy, a fake miscarriage, and now you want me to believe in a fake child?" Adam asked. Annie offered to take a paternity test in a few months. "A few months? I can't stand looking at you now!" Adam raged. Adam regretted listening to Annie over the others, and ordered both of them to leave his house by the time he returned. Adam slammed the door on his way out.

Annie pleaded with Scott to help her. She felt that Adam loved her, but he was hurt. Annie planned to use the truth to fight for her family. Scott replied that after she'd told so many lies, the truth from her sounded like "the granddaddy of all lies." Scott said that they'd screwed up, and it was over. He stated that Annie had gambled on too many lies, and lost everything. "The saddest part of it is, nobody gives a damn," he barked, and left.

Annie cried, staring at the video camera. She spoke to it as if it were Adam. She confessed that she'd lied about everything, but loving him. She'd wanted to protect him after he'd pulled the trigger, but she couldn't erase it. She'd hoped that their family would give him the courage to forgive himself for it. Annie vowed to tell their child that its parents had real love. Just then, Annie gasped, clinching her stomach. She writhed in pain, falling to the floor.

Adam went to Erica's, and when she opened the door, he said it was time for Kendall to return home. Erica retorted that Kendall should never have had to leave in the first place. A distraught Adam said he was ready to confess to killing his brother. Erica sarcastically wondered if he expected a pat on the back after he'd let her daughter take the blame for his crime. Adam realized that he should have gone forward sooner. Erica ranted that she'd broken the law for Adam's family, but he'd left hers to hang in the wind.

Adam explained that he'd chosen to believe Annie because he couldn't let himself consider that he'd done something so monstrous. He chuckled, saying that the baby wasn't even his. He stated that the baby had been his only redeeming quality; it had been an honor to Stuart and the biggest lie of all. Adam said he'd just wanted to tell Erica how sorry he was.

Erica attempted to hug him, but he pulled away, walking to the door. On the threshold, he said the only thing left was to do something he should have done long ago: admit that he'd killed his brother. Ryan entered, saying that Adam was going to the police at that instant.
