Amanda thought that David wanted to try to conceive their second baby the old-fashioned way. In turn, David thought that the suggestion had been Amanda's. Amanda quickly rejected the idea, and David insisted that she'd misread his intentions. David said that while Amanda might hate the night that they conceived Trevor, she would never regret it. Meanwhile, Jake tried to call Amanda again, to no avail.

David took Amanda back to the night that Trevor was conceived, but they had drastically different recall. David first asked if Amanda would always look for David's ulterior motive, and then asked if she knew of Jake's real agenda. Amanda decried David's attack on her marriage and said that she didn't have to be on the defensive.

David told Amanda that he didn't want her in his house any longer than she had to be, because he didn't want their children to see Amanda miserable. He told her that the sooner she gave him another child, the better, because Amanda could go back to living happily in the Martin house. Amanda then decided to take a walk to clear her head.

Amanda returned from her walk, just as frustrated as when she left. David tried to be comforting and said he understood her frustration. Amanda cried and repeated that she just wanted to conceive so that she could get back to Jake. David asked again if she wanted to try the old-fashioned way. Amanda resisted out of loyalty to her husband, but David said Jake would never have to know.

Amanda said that she would always know that she'd betrayed Jake, but David said that she shouldn't look at the situation that way. David told her that the conception would be out of necessity, not carnal lust. He continued to rationalize it until Amanda was about to agree. Amanda demanded that David swear on their son's life that Jake would not find out about the indiscretion, and David did as asked.

Amanda tearfully agreed to the conception attempt so that she could get back to her life more quickly. David made some comments that were hard to take, so Amanda told David that he needed to be quick, and that he couldn't look at her during the attempt.

Aidan softly brushed Kendall's hair as she slept. As she awoke, Kendall seemed confused by Aidan's proximity. She got up and launched into a series of tidbits about her husband. Aidan realized what he'd done and apologized. He told her that he'd been concerned about her lack of eating and sleeping. Kendall insisted that she would be okay -- as soon as Zach got in touch with her via the chat board.

Aidan went downstairs and was pleased to find out that Kat had been able to intercept all messages between Zach and Kendall. Kat then checked in to see if Aidan still wanted Kendall, despite how devoted Kendall was to Zach. When Aidan said he did, Kat tried to explain that the best way to make Kendall fall out of love was through jealousy. She asked who Kendall would least want Zach spending time with, and when Aidan offered up Liza's name, Kat prepared to get to work.

Aidan gave Kat details about the tryst between Zach and Liza and said that although it happened while Zach and Kendall were divorced, it was still a sore spot. Kat asked if Liza was still around, and was almost gleeful when Aidan revealed that Liza was Kendall's lawyer. Armed with everything she needed, Kat wrote a message that was guaranteed to spark Kendall's jealousy.

Kendall threatened to throw the laptop out of the window if she didn't get a message from Zach. As if it heard and understood, the computer displayed a message from "Zach. " As Kendall read through it, she became more and more upset that Zach and Liza had spent the night together, albeit as friends. Aidan showed up with a bottle of wine and two glasses, took one look at Kendall, and asked what had happened.

Kendall shared the message she received from "Zach," and went on a rampage about how horrible Liza was and all of the bad things that could happen while she and Zach were separated. Aidan encouraged her to push those thoughts aside before they drove her crazy. Kendall asked for a few moments alone, and Aidan granted her request.

Aidan went downstairs and Kat offered to play a game of cards to pass the time. Aidan wondered what they were waiting for, and Kat promised that he would know it when he heard it. Upstairs, Kendall read the message from "Zach" again, and then closed the laptop in frustration. She swore that she was done with Liza and Zach and went to lie down. She immediately dreamed of an ultra-romantic get-together which ended with Liza and Zach in a liplock. Kendall awoke with a start and rejected that image.

She got up, read the message a few more times, and then flashed back to her dream. Enraged, she threw her glass against the door. On the other side of the door, Aidan was pleased at the sound, as he knew the messages had finally eaten through Kendall's calm exterior.

Zach stormed into ConFusion and when he spotted Liza and JR, he made a beeline for their table. Zach insisted that JR leave with him, but JR acted as if he didn't know why. Zach noted that JR needed to go to the district attorney's office and relate the story of how Adam killed Stuart.

JR noted that he couldn't tell the DA anything because he hadn't seen Adam pull the trigger. Zach was unfazed and said that JR needed to do the right thing. JR said that if he threw his father under the bus without first-hand knowledge, he would be no better than Adam. Zach told JR that nothing mattered except getting Adam to confess.

Zach decided to try to rough JR up a bit, and thought that would make the young man change his mind. The bartender tried to step in, but Liza loudly insisted that everything was okay. JR wrested himself from Zach's grasp and made it clear that he would not do Zach's bidding. JR walked away, and Zach started to take his frustration out on Liza. She refused to entertain Zach's drama and managed to ignore him until Zach claimed that Liza was back on the Chandler payroll.

Zach started to leave the club, but Liza wouldn't let him. She demanded that Zach sit down for a few moments so that they could talk strategy. Zach grudgingly did as asked. Almost immediately, Zach realized that he needed to apologize for his insinuation that Liza was a traitor. Liza said that she understood his frustration and desire to give a mother back to her boys. Zach agreed and then said that he also needed his wife.

Annie walked slumped over into the Chandler living room and told Adam and Scott that she thought she had lost the baby. Adam called emergency services and Scott helped Annie to the couch. While Adam was on the phone, Scott asked Annie how she planned to pull off a miscarriage. Scott pointed out that faking one wouldn't be easy, but Annie felt that she could improvise.

Erica and Ryan were with Jake at the hospital when the call was received about an emergency at the Chandler house. Jake instructed the nurse to prep the room and when she left, Erica was amazed that Ryan had so precisely predicted Annie's moves. Jake said that if Annie were lying, they would find out.

Jake stepped away, and Erica prematurely started to celebrate Kendall's homecoming. Ryan tried to temper Erica's joy, and pointed out that they still needed Adam to confess. Erica knew that Ryan was right, but admitted that she couldn't help being happy that Kendall would get to see her sons grow up. Erica then asked if they needed to update Zach, so that Zach wouldn't get into any unnecessary trouble. Ryan told her that given recent history, they wouldn't be able to keep Zach out of hot water.

Adam ended his call, and Annie was immediately apologetic. Adam told her that the only thing they needed to be concerned about was Annie's health. He told her that he called an ambulance, and Annie was alarmed. She told her new husband that she didn't need to go to the hospital. Despite her protests, Adam told Annie that he would feel more comfortable if she was checked out by medical professionals. They heard the sirens, and Annie's agitation increased. Scott belatedly told Adam that he should listen to Annie, but it was too little, too late. Adam instructed Scott to let the paramedics in, and, helpless, Scott did as his uncle asked.

Adam and Annie arrived at the hospital, and after a nurse got Annie settled into a bed, the nurse took Adam away to tend to paperwork. Scott took the opportunity to consult with Annie. He told her that he would figure out a way to keep Adam out of the room when the doctor examined her. By doing so, Scott told her that the doctor would be bound by confidentiality and wouldn't be able to tell Adam that Annie had never been pregnant. Grateful, Annie told Scott that they were more than family and that she didn't know what she would have done without his help.

Erica found Adam in the waiting room and feigned concern for Annie. Adam didn't fall for it, and attempted to dismiss Erica. Scott showed up and once he saw Erica, he told Adam to leave and spend time with Annie. With Adam gone, Erica attempted to use her act on Scott, but Scott was no more a fool than Adam.

Scott asked what Erica wanted, and Erica very clearly stated that she wanted the charges against Kendall dropped. Scott started to walk away, but Erica stopped him in his tracks with her note of surprise that Scott turned out to be more like Adam than Stuart. Scott told Erica not to mention his father, but Erica said that there was no way to do that while discussing what Adam did. Scott tried to explain why he had banded together with Annie to protect Adam, and Erica realized that as long as Adam was around, it would seem like Stuart was, as well. Regardless, Erica drove here point home and said that no amount of pretense would reverse what had happened to Stuart.

Jake stopped into Annie's room and said that he'd gotten a rundown from the paramedics. Annie told Jake that she knew from experience that she had miscarried. Ryan marched into the room at that moment and said that Annie should let a doctor decide what had happened. Annie demanded that Ryan leave the room. Instead, Ryan asked for two minutes alone with Annie, and Jake practically bolted out of the door.

Ryan admitted that he had lied to Annie about her ability to conceive a child, and said he was surprised that she was so easily taken. Annie asked what Ryan wanted, and Ryan told her that she had done all of his work for him. Once Jake did the exam and realized there was no baby, Annie would be forced to admit her lies and she would eventually have to reveal that Adam was the real shooter.

Annie attacked Ryan for what she perceived to be Ryan's obsession with making Annie miserable. Ryan claimed that he was doing what he needed to do to protect Emma. Annie decided to air Ryan's laundry list of misdeeds against her. Despite the recount, Ryan said that Annie didn't know him at all. Ryan also said that Annie didn't have any concept of what it was like to care for someone unselfishly. Ryan told Annie that the truth would be revealed and she would have nothing. Irate, Annie launched out of bed and physically attempted to silence him. Suddenly, Annie stopped and passed out cold.

A short time later, Erica and Adam met up again, and Erica revealed that during a heart-to-heart with Scott, she had told Scott what he needed to hear. She then asked about Annie, and when Adam responded with silence, she assumed that Annie had lost the baby. Adam thought that Erica would rejoice, but Erica managed to hide her joy. Instead, she said Adam would need to brace himself for what was about to happen.

Zach told Liza that he needed to leave, but before he could get out of ConFusion, Erica found him. She was able to update him on what had happened with Annie, and said that once Adam found out that the pregnancy had been a lie, there would be nothing to stop him from confessing. Zach smiled at that note, as he realized that Kendall would be able to return home.

Adam got to Annie's room and was alarmed to find his wife on the floor with Ryan simply watching her. Adam called for help, and when Jake arrived, with Scott on his heels, Ryan maintained that Annie was acting. Jake asked Scott to help him get Annie back in bed, and then demanded that everyone leave the room. Ryan was the last one out, and Jake briefly turned to Ryan and said that Annie was really unconscious.

Jake was there when Annie woke up and told her that he was able to complete her exam. He told her what he'd found and then Jake went to the waiting room. Erica and Zach arrived just in time to find out that Annie hadn't miscarried -- she was actually still pregnant.
