A skeptical Margo leaves Mike's house after talking to Mike and Pilar. On the front steps, she tells Mike that she now believes Katie and that Mike should do the same. Pilar tears herself away from eavesdropping on their conversation to answer her cell phone. Russ is angry that there is an all points bulletin out for him because of the diversion he created at Pilar's request. He demands that Pilar bring him some money immediately to the alley behind Yo's diner. He warns her, "If I go back in the joint, you're going to be my date!" By the time Mike comes back inside, Pilar has finished packing. Mike insists that Pilar tell him where she was the night before when she disappeared during the night. Instead of answering, Pilar storms off, asking Mike, "How can you expect me to stay with you when you obviously don't believe a word out of my mouth?" She goes directly to meet Russ, tells him that she has money coming soon, and asks him not to give up after they have come so far. Unbeknownst to them, Simon overhears every word of their conversation. After Russ leaves, promising to go to the police if Pilar doesn't get money to him that very night, Simon comes out from hiding and grabs Pilar, telling her, "You're in a hell of a lot of trouble." Surprisingly, Pilar spits back, "Whose fault is that? It's about time you showed up!"

Meanwhile, at Katie's house, Henry tells Margo his theory that Pilar robbed him and Katie for money to give Russ. Margo tells both of them that she now believes Katie, and they hug before Margo and Henry leave. Mike comes to the door soon afterward and tells Katie that he has been wrong about everything.

The Mother Superior leaves Paul and Barbara in her office after telling them that she could never hand over a birth certificate without permission. However, as she walks out the door, she tells them that the certificates are filed by year of admission. Alone in the office, Barbara and Paul find Jordan's birth certificate, issued in Buffalo, New York, and see that James is listed as Jordan's father. However, the date is different from Paul's birth date, so they believe that Barbara could not be his mother.

Back in Oakdale, Jordan meets Jennifer for coffee and apologizes that their first days of being in love have been tainted by his troubles. They are interrupted by Detective Jack Snyder, who tells them that James Stenbeck is willing to talk to Jordan. Although Jennifer offers to go along, Jordan insists that he wants to protect her from a man as dangerous as James. The two declare their love for each other before Jordan leaves with Jack. Back in Barbara's suite, Jennifer becomes frightened for Jordan and leaves him a message on his cell phone, asking him to be careful. She imagines finding Jordan locked in James' cell, and herself locked in the room outside the cell. At the prison, Jordan greets James, whose back is turned.

After a nifty opening featuring James Stenbeck, Jordan meets James. James tells him that he has waited for this for a long time. He then asks Jordan, "You have questions?" "Yes," replies Jordan, "who am I?" James tells him that he felt like he knew him before he was born. James starts to tell Jordan the story he has concocted about his past. He tells him that he was closer to his Father than his Mother. When Jordan asks questions about his Father, James tells him that the man who was his Father was a very complex man. However, you have his curiosity and his ambition. He and I wanted the same thing. A son that loved him. Jordan is feeling as though he wished his Father wasn't dead. James gives Jordan the idea that perhaps his Father isn't dead. As soon as Jordan hears this, he is wondering why his Father hasn't contacted him. James says that he was just speaking rhetorically. What he really meant was that sometimes someone who has meant so much lives within us, even when they are not here. He asks Jordan if he is a good dancer. When James finishes talking, Jordan tells him that no matter what, he didn't feel special, he felt alone. James may have brought him to this place, to fulfill his destiny, but no thanks. Jordan is in love with Jennifer Munson. He is not an orphan anymore and he can make up his own mind not. James calls him "an ungrateful imbecile." "You want your son, don't you?" asks James, " then you better damn well take what I'm offering you. Jordan knows that James is threatening his son and tells him to rot in hell. Jordan tells him that he will no longer allow him to tell him what to do, how to live or who to love, and, if you come anywhere near his son, he will rip his heart out. Jordan threatens to take James down if he tries anything. James is overjoyed, thinking that his son has some spine. Paul walks in, and hearing James calls Jordan, "his son," thinks that Jordan knows. Jordan is perplexed, and asks, Paul, "What are you doing here?" Paul asks James if they planned this whole thing together. Jordan is mystified. He doesn't know what is going on. Paul blasts James and then wants to know why he forced his son into their lives. Jordan is knocked for a loop. "What are you talking about?" says Jordan. James apologizes to Jordan. He tells him he didn't want him to find out this way but, he is his Father.

Simon comes back with Katie's jewelry. She is grateful and happy.
