Nick carried Bridget over their threshold to celebrate the conception. Bridget said he was confusing customs, but Nick suggested that she enjoy the ride. He carried her into the bedroom to show her a gift that he'd gotten her. Later, Bridget modeled her new pink, plaid pajama set. Nick said it was what mothers wore. He tossed her onto the bed, smothering her with kisses.
Bridget and Nick discussed Sandy's demeanor at the insemination. Nick wondered if Bridget had noticed that Sandy had pulled away when he'd tried to hold her hand. Bridget asked Nick not to take it badly, because Sandy was a woman going through a womanly thing.
After the couple made love, Nick gave Bridget another gift. It was a baby calendar. "To mark off the days," Nick cheerfully said. He gave her a pen with a bow on it, saying that they could start with that day, even though things weren't official. Bridget tossed the pen aside, stating that she didn't want to jinx it. They kissed, believing it would happen.
At the hospital, Whip was shocked to see his cousin Agnes in the surrogate's room. Sandy seemed displeased by his arrival, and Whip wondered why. He said that she'd dropped out of sight, and hadn't returned his phone calls. He recalled that they used to be close when he'd worked at Forrester, and she'd bartended at the Breeze. "Agnes..." Whip said. Sandy demanded that he call her by her new name. Whip wondered why she'd changed her name to Sandy, and asked what it had to do with her carrying a baby for his boss.
Just then, Jackie and Owen entered. Whip pretended that he'd just met Sandy, and remarked that she had an interesting past. Whip noted that Sandy and he had a lot in common, and prompted Sandy to agree. Jackie expressed her gratefulness for Sandy's sacrifice, and said that Sandy had become a member of the family.
After Jackie and Owen left, Whip pressed Sandy to tell him why she'd disappeared and what she was doing back in L.A. as a surrogate for his boss. Sandy said that the Marones had chosen her out of a pool of surrogates. She insisted that she was there to help them, not take advantage of them. A tearful Sandy hoped that she was pregnant, and asked what could be more beautiful for them or for her.
On the set of The Catwalk, Stephanie hurried Pam through an autograph signing. Ann called Stephanie to announce that her plane had landed. Not wishing to impose on her daughters, Ann opted to take a taxi from the airport. Stephanie insisted upon picking Ann up, but Ann mysteriously said that she needed to do something, and she'd call her daughters later.
Ann took a cab to Paradise Cove. She told the driver that she'd been there once with her daughters, and it had been one of the most special days of her life. Ann strained to exit the car, and the driver thought that she was a little frail for her outing. She paid the driver, and headed to the pier.
After enjoying the view, Ann called Stephanie, and said that she'd made it to paradise. Stephanie wondered if Ann had been drinking. Ann reminded Stephanie that Pam and she had taken Ann to the pier the last time Ann had been in L.A. for Christmas. Ann said that she was anxious to see her girls, and they agreed to meet her. After the call ended, Ann pulled a bottle of prescription pills from her purse, and emptied it into the water.
When Pam and Stephanie arrived, they spotted Ann at a table, wearing red. "She hates red," Pam stated. Ann appeared to be sleeping when they greeted her. Ann popped her eyes open, dazed, but happy to see them. Stephanie took Ann's hands, and asked what was going on.
Ann explained that she'd left Chicago for the most beautiful place she'd ever seen in her life. She realized that she'd been a constant nag during her first visit to L.A., but she'd been transformed the moment that she'd stepped onto the pier. She said that it was as close to heaven as she could think of. Stephanie asked where her bags were, and Ann replied that she had everything she needed in her purse.
Pam seemed confused by Ann, and flabbergasted to see her wearing red. Ann explained that she'd sworn off red because their grandmother had always made her wear it; however, Ann had decided that her mother would want to see her in it. Pam remarked that their grandmother had been dead for thirty years. "I'm dying," Ann replied.
Pam stated that Ann had been saying that all of their lives. Ann revealed that it was true that time. Ann felt that her end was near, and she wanted to spend the last of her time with her daughters in that place. Ann took their hands, and hummed. Pam and Stephanie looked upset and grim.
