Jessica and a despondent Antonio return to his apartment. She consoles him and urges him to use the Santos money to fight R.J., but he retorts that he doesn't want to use "dirty" money.

Antonio stops in at the diner just as Carlotta is closing for the day. He asks her if she supports his decision to use the money he inherited from Manuel Santi to hire a lawyer to help him win full custody of Jamie.

They tell her that Todd is alive and well, but that they had been waiting to say anything until they received word on Blair. Starr tells Dorian that she can tell how scared she is.

In the hallway of the police station, Kevin and Kelly have a bitter fight that is overheard by everyone else.

Adriana and Duke share a kiss at the diner, continuing to grow close as their families clash.

As Dorian, Viki, Kevin and Kelly await news on Blair, David takes a tired Starr home. She refuses to eat or sleep, she just wants news on her parents. David decides not to allow her to watch television and attempts to keep her occupied. At the station, a reporter tries to question Dorian about the custody of the Manning children in the event of Blair's death but thankfully, one of the policemen tosses him out. Todd and Bo finally return and are forced to share the news; the car was located but they were too late. Blair was in the car when it was crushed. Todd blames himself and Dorian quickly agrees, though she denies that her niece is dead. Kelly rushes out and is accosted by the reporter; Kevin comes to her aid. When Todd announces that he wants to see his children, Dorian forbids it which causes everyone to argue loudly. Taking the bull by the horns, Viki calls David and asks that he bring Starr to Todd's apartment.

Asa is disappointed when he learns that Todd has been found but he instantly becomes gleeful when he hears of Blair's presumed death. Too late, he turns to find Duke and Adriana standing nearby. An indignant Duke orders his grandfather to apologize but Adriana doesn't want to hear it, knowing that it would be fake. After Adriana leaves, Asa attempts to tell Duke that he's sorry but Duke doesn't want to hear it either. He suggests the old man try some compassion for a change, to put himself in Todd's shoes as he now has children without a mother. What if it were one of his own sons?

Kelly ends up at the cemetery with Kevin in close pursuit, offering to comfort her. Reminding him that she's dead to him, she turns and kneels at a tombstone. Kevin is shocked and moved to see that it reads Kevin Riley Buchanan, Jr. She needed a name for the death certificate, Kelly tells him, and suggests that he say good-bye to their son. He's sorry for not being there for her, he tearfully tells her, as well as for taking Ace from her and for having her need to think that a baby would help their marriage. He's sorry for a lot of things and asks her forgiveness. She asks for his and they bond in their saddened state. Someday they'll forgive each other, Kelly says, but they have to move on.

He and his daughter have an emotional reunion after which Todd breaks the news of Blair's death. Turning on her dad, Starr accuses him of killing Blair and wishes him dead because she hates him.

Antonio's concern for Jessica has mounted, and he goes to see Bo. Before Bo will fill out a missing person's report, he decides to try Jessica on her cell. When Bo reaches Jessica and discovers that she's fine, Antonio is confused. He invites Jessica to lunch, and they meet at the diner. A puzzled Antonio demands to know where she was the previous evening when he came to Llanfair. Jessica says that she was asleep in Viki's bedroom, and that she thinks she may have been sleep walking. Antonio demands that Jessica see a doctor, but she explains that she is just under a lot of stress due to her family's problems. She is confused when Antonio brings up the lipstick marks on her bedroom mirror, but decides that it must have been Starr's doing. Finally, she makes an agreement with Antonio: she will see a doctor if he promises not to get so concerned every time he can't track her down. He agrees to the deal, and reminds her that he is just worried because of her stalker. When Antonio steps away, Jessica is approached by the man she was talking to in the bar the previous night. He says he had a really good time with her, but she just stares at him blankly. She asks if she knows him, and he responds "You're joking, right?" Antonio comes up and grabs the guy, demanding to know who he is.

Viki brings Jack to Todd's apartment, and Starr takes Jack up to her bedroom to look at video games. Todd tells Viki that he is going to find Margaret Cochran and kill her.

When Daniel said the case was still open, Jen realized she was still a suspect. Nora arrived with cake. Nora asked Daniel where he was the night before. Daniel flippantly responded he was at a meeting. Nora did not believe him, but let the issue drop. Nora and Daniel helped Jen and Riley unpack. Daniel unpacked Jen's old printer. Since this model matched the printing of the killer's letter, Daniel wanted to take the printer in for testing. As Riley and Daniel argued, the printer broke. Daniel found a scrap of paper that was torn from a larger letter the killer wrote to Rex.

John was happy to see Evangeline at the hotel. Evangeline was angry about his conversation with Natalie. John believed Natalie was trying to help.
