In Annie's hospital room, Jake confirmed that Annie was pregnant. According to Jake, Annie was approximately four weeks into her pregnancy. While Scott and Adam celebrated the good news, Annie, Zach, Ryan, and Erica stepped into the hallway. Zach suggested that perhaps Adam wasn't the father of Annie's baby. Ryan was curious if Zach was implying that Scott and Annie were having an affair. Zach told Ryan and Erica that he had a DVD, which showed Annie and Scott "making out." Zach also revealed that the DVD contained footage of Annie and JR kissing.

Erica was disgusted; she called Annie a "lying tramp." Zach confessed that, to be fair, Annie had not been married to Adam when the DVD had been made. Zach, Ryan, and Erica decided that they had to prove to Adam that Annie was using him. They didn't think that they had to establish that Scott and Annie were having an affair; they merely had to plant the seeds of doubt. They put their plan into motion when they spotted Adam leaving Annie's room.

In Annie's hospital room, Adam confessed that he suspected that the baby was a boy. Annie was curious if part of the reason that Adam wanted a son was to replace JR. Adam explained that he hoped that a new baby brother would draw JR back into the family fold. Adam recalled the special bond that he had shared with Stuart. Adam had been disappointed that Scott and JR had never developed a similar closeness. Scott didn't want Adam to blame himself for JR and Scott's lack of a relationship.

Annie assured Adam that they would do things differently with the new baby. Adam decided to talk to Jake, so he asked Scott to remain with Annie. Ryan slipped into Annie's room moments later. Annie was livid because Ryan had scared her into believing that she couldn't have children. Ryan asked Annie if she was serious; he claimed he had simply been calling her bluff about the faked pregnancy.

Annie smugly reminded Ryan that she was pregnant and that she had an ultrasound to back it up; she was confident that it was "over" for Ryan. Ryan clarified that he would never give up; everything that Ryan had done had been in order to keep Annie away from Emma. Scott was stunned that Ryan considered Annie a threat to Emma. Before Ryan could respond, Annie revealed that she and Adam had filed for custody of Emma.

Annie promised that Ryan would lose Emma forever. Ryan smiled, but did not respond. After Ryan left, Scott and Annie absorbed the news that Annie was truly pregnant. Annie and Scott realized that they could have harmed the baby if they had gone through with Annie's plan to take a tumble down the staircase. Annie was happy that Scott had refused to help her.

Annie was thrilled that everything was "coming together." She was overjoyed that she finally had a family, which included Scott. Scott suggested that perhaps he shouldn't be part of Annie's family. Annie appeared alarmed as Scott revealed that Erica had suggested that he was using Adam as a replacement for Stuart. Scott believed that he needed to take a step back, in order to deal with his father's death. Annie begged Scott to reconsider; she claimed that she needed him.

Scott insisted that Annie was fine; she had Adam to look after her. Annie wondered who would look after Adam and the baby. She reiterated that she needed Scott to help her watch over the family.

Adam was barking orders at a nurse when Erica approached him. The nurse fled while Erica tried to calm down Adam. Erica's efforts were unsuccessful; Adam blamed Erica and her "goons" for nearly causing Annie to miscarry his baby.

Adam told Erica that if she had any shred of decency, she'd leave Annie alone for the sake of the baby. Erica wondered how Adam felt about his other children. Adam insisted that all of his children meant a great deal to him. Erica reminded Adam that his children had moved out and that they had very little contact with him. Adam believed that they would all return one day. In the meantime, Adam took comfort in the knowledge that he had Scott.

Erica was amazed that Scott had remained in Adam's home despite knowing that Adam had killed Stuart. Adam insisted that Stuart's death had been a terrible "mistake." Ryan approached as Adam assured Erica that Stuart would have wanted Adam to move on with the new baby. Ryan took the opportunity to praise Scott for being a better person than Ryan. Ryan confessed that if he'd been in Scott's shoes, he would have wanted to avenge his father by hurting Adam as deeply as he had been hurt by Adam.

After Adam left Ryan and Erica, he went to Annie's room. Adam stopped short when he saw Annie reach out to Scott as she revealed how much she needed Scott in her life.

At the boarding house, Kendall recalled the email that she believed that Zach had sent. As the words of the email drifted to her mind, Kendall's anger grew. The idea of Zach spending time with Liza prompted Kendall to throw glassware across the room. In the hallway, Aidan eavesdropped on Kendall. He smiled with satisfaction as he crept soundlessly away from the door.

Moments later, Aidan found Kat sitting in the parlor. He told her about Kendall's reaction to the email that they had sent. Kat was delighted that their plan had worked. They briefly discussed their next step and then Aidan returned to the bedroom. Kendall apologized when she saw Aidan enter the room; she explained that the shattered glass on the floor had been a result of an "accident."

Aidan asked if Kendall was okay. Kendall didn't know how to answer Aidan's question. She had been convicted of murder, she was on the run from the law, she hadn't seen her family in ages, and her husband was spending time with Liza, a woman he had once slept with, so things seemed far from okay to Kendall. She also couldn't understand why Zach had sent her an email to tell her that he had spent the evening with Liza; it seemed odd to her.

Aidan suggested that perhaps Kendall should send Zach an email to let her husband know how hurt she had been by his message. Kendall agreed. She typed it up and then read it out loud. Kendall feared that she sounded like a "lunatic," so she decided not to send it. However, Aidan persuaded her to change her mind.

The email went to Kat, not Zach. Kat reworded the message and then sent the email to Zach. Later, Aidan slipped into the parlor to express his concern that the emails wouldn't be convincing. Aidan didn't want Kendall to figure out that Zach wasn't sending the messages. Kat assured Aidan that she knew what she was doing. She was confident that Kendall would eventually turn to Aidan for comfort.

At home, Zach read the email that Kat has sent in Kendall's name. The message was filled with glowing comments about Aidan and how Kendall and Aidan were enjoying picnics together and sharing blankets. Zach's imagination ran wild as he envisioned Kendall and Aidan snuggled together in a big bed. Zach pushed the image away and then typed a response to Kendall's email. Zach revealed that Annie was pregnant and that Adam remained tight-lipped about Stuart's murder. Zach promised that they had a plan in place; he was hopeful that Adam would confess in the near future.

When Aidan received Zach's message, Aidan quickly deleted the email and then typed up a replacement to send to Kendall. Aidan's email was abrupt and a bit accusatory. After Aidan sent the message, he waited a few moments and then went to the bedroom.

Kendall was furious as she read the email that Aidan had sent minutes earlier. Aidan pretended to be concerned as he asked Kendall what was wrong. Kendall claimed that Zach was shutting down on her. The tone of Zach's email suggested that Kendall had struck a nerve by mentioning Liza. Kendall confessed that she wished her ordeal were over; she desperately wanted to go home. Aidan knelt in front of her, in order to offer her words of encouragement.

Kendall rubbed Aidan's arm while Aidan stared deeply into Kendall's eyes. To Kendall's surprise, Aidan quickly stood up, announced that he couldn't "do this," and then left the room. Kendall didn't understand what Aidan was talking about. A short time later, Kendall found Aidan in the parlor.

Aidan admitted that the boarding house reminded him of the time when Zach and Greenlee had been trapped in the mineshaft. Aidan explained that he feared things were getting complicated between him and Kendall. Kendall tried to reassure Aidan that everything would be fine, but Aidan remained troubled. Eventually, Kendall realized that Aidan feared that they might end up having sex with each other again.

Zach left Jesse an urgent voicemail message; Zach feared that Kendall was in trouble.

Amanda seemed resigned to sleep with David. Tears filled her eyes as she got in the backseat of David's car and then waited for him to join her. Amanda's emotional state remained fragile after David and Amanda had sex. When they returned to the front seat of the car, Amanda demanded that they leave immediately. David reminded Amanda that they had to wait for the tow truck to arrive. Amanda felt sick.

Amanda's guilt, over sleeping with David, was compounded when Jake called David looking for Amanda. Amanda held back her tears as she took the phone from David. Jake assumed that Amanda and David were at the clinic. When he offered to pick up Amanda, she quickly explained that she and David were about to leave. After Amanda ended the call, David assured her that Jake didn't suspect anything.

Amanda wasn't comforted by David's words. As she looked away from David, Amanda dissolved into tears. She wondered how she would ever be able to look Jake in the eyes again. David promised Amanda that Jake would never know what had happened unless she decided to tell him . David assured Amanda that once she held their new baby, Amanda would realize that it had been worth it.

When David and Amanda arrived at Wildwind, they found Jake waiting. Jake immediately sensed that Amanda was upset. David tried to cover for Amanda, but she didn't appear to appreciate his efforts. To everyone's surprise, David apologized to Jake. David promised that it had never been about Amanda. According to David, he had hoped to create a new life for himself in the most expedient manner possible. Jake had no idea how to respond to the confession, so he opted not to say anything.

After David left the room, Jake asked Amanda what had happened at the clinic. Amanda pretended that she had misunderstood the question; she claimed that she didn't want to discuss the procedure. Jake clarified that he wasn't asking about the artificial insemination. According to Jake, Amanda and David were "acting weird." Amanda explained that it had been a weird day; she had made a baby with a man that she didn't like.

Amanda didn't want to answer any more questions, but Jake was curious why David had suddenly apologized to him. Amanda suggested that it was because David felt as if he had won. Jake pointed out that if David had won then David would have Amanda. After Jake left, Amanda began weeping.

David entered the foyer, holding Trevor in his arms. Amanda wondered how she could betray Jake as she had. David handed Trevor to Amanda as he told her "You're doing it for your son."
