JR tried to set Bianca up with a date and suggested that they (JR and Marissa) make it a double date.

At ConFusion, Greenlee tried to get Emma to drop her bratty behavior. Emma brightened when she saw Madison and Scott. At Fusion, Greens snapped at Madison for letting some paperwork fall through the cracks. On Madison’s computer, Greens found a scrapbook about the baby that Mad was making for Ryan, leading to a nasty confrontation between the women. Scott brought Emma back to Fusion, where Madison consoled her. Greens insisted on taking her to ConFusion. Madison told Scott that the nice Greens was a goner.

In bed (fully clothed), Tad tried to console Cara. After updating Amanda on Griffin's escape, Jake left a message for Cara. Jake reached Tad to summon Cara back to the hospital. Cara and Jake met with the hospital board and Cara reported to Tad that she was in hot water with the higher-ups. "I'm out of a job,” she sighed. Jake clarified that Cara had resigned. Tad and Cara went to Krystal's and he tried to keep her spirits up. They worked on the crossword together. Jake and Amanda dined at the hospital. Jake was distracted by Cara's predicament, which Amanda picked up on. Amanda threw out her birth control pills.

Ryan, who had trailed Ricky to ConFusion, kissed Greenlee to avert Ricky's suspicions. Ryan told Greens that he was investigating Zach's murder and that all signs pointed to Ricky as the culprit. Greens struggled to hold it together. Ricky met with a wedding planner and referred to Kendall as his bride-to-be.

At Kendall's house, Griffin told her that he couldn't leave town with Ricky a free man. Kendall made Griff leave and Ryan and Greenlee stopped by. After their powwow, Greens went back to ConFusion and eavesdropped on Ricky leaving a gushy voicemail for Kendall. Ryan and Kendall went to the safehouse and met up with Griff. Kendall told Griff that Ricky would never hurt her because he's falling in love with her. Griff showed Kendall how to use a temporary paralyzer in case of a Ricky-related emergency.

At ConFusion, Greenlee grabbed Ricky and probed him about his past. Ricky excused himself, went home and told a picture of Diana that Kendall is "the one”. Ryan and Greens met back up and lamented Kendall's situation. Greenlee and Ryan discussed the possibility that because Ricky performed their ceremony, they might not be legally married.

Bianca urged Jack not to give up on Erica. Krystal and Jack met up for a meal and Jack was distracted by a woman across the room reading Erica's autobiography. Krystal and Jack had to part ways due to a staffing crisis at Krystal's. Jack went home and thought about Erica. Krystal soon arrived. Jack vented about Erica, then decided he wasn't going to let La Kane get him down.

Erica bickered with the disembodied voice of her captor. The captor beseeched Erica to eat. She said she would, provided it was on fine china and that she got to see her kidnapper's face. When the captor served her a meal from Krystal's, Erica jumped to the conclusion that Krystal was her captor. Erica then tried to escape again. She successfully picked the lock, and was stunned by what she saw when she opened the door.

Colby chatted with Maya at the mansion. Maya identified herself as a fan of Colby's video blogs. Marissa, JR and Asher talked about JR and Marissa's double date with Bianca. JR and Marissa left. A bunch of cartons were delivered. Caleb showed up and he deflected Asher's questions about what had happened in St. Bart's. Caleb said he was responsible for the delivery.

Marissa, JR and Bianca arrived at ConFusion and met up with Louise, the woman JR had set Bianca up with. When JR heard that Caleb was at the mansion, he bolted. At the house, Asher barked at JR to cut Caleb some slack. Bianca felt awkward trying to get acquainted with Louise. When Marissa went to talk to a returning JR, Louise speculated to Bianca that Binks is interested in Marissa. Bianca was shaken.

Asher went to Krystal's, where he watched Colby's new blog about Erica's bravery in being a runaway bride. Caleb came and thanked Asher for his support. He told Asher that it was time for him to let go of Erica.

At the penthouse, Krystal and Jack almost kissed but he pulled away. Embarrassed, Krystal ran out. Jack found a video of an interview Erica had done about her past weddings, which upset him.

Tad and Cara went to Krystal's and were aware that they were being watched. Kendall left the safe house with a message from Griffin to Cara. In the park, Kendall approached Cara with Griff's note. She told Cara that Griff had gone to Afghanistan to work with other doctors. Cara was sad. Kendall went home and told Bianca that Zach had been murdered and that she believed Ricky to be responsible. She told Bianca about her plan to entrap Ricky and Binks insisted on helping. Bianca went to ConFusion and found Jack drowning his sorrows. Bianca approached Ricky at ConFusion and told Ricky that things with Kendall and Zach had been far from perfect. Ricky's ears perked up.

Erica tried to escape but when she picked the lock, she was faced with a steel door. Erica told the captor that she was on a hunger strike. The kidnapper gave Erica a scrapbook about Erica's life. Erica tried to reason with her captor. The captor got nasty, telling Erica that she didn't know anything about him/her. Erica thought of a new plan to get the best of her kidnapper. Erica remained convinced that Krystal was holding her hostage.

In the park, Kathy and Jenny arrived and brightened Cara's spirits, which Tad was moved to see.

Jack went to Krystal's wanting to talk about their near-kiss. Krystal told Jack that she couldn't work for him anymore. He refused to let her quit.

Kendall went back to see Griff. Griffin made the point to Kendall that it would be hard for her to conceal her hatred for Ricky. Ricky called and Kendall made plans to see him.

Erica made another failed attempt to reason with her captor. La Kane gazed at her scrapbook. The captor told Erica that she would send Kendall and Bianca an e-mail from Erica provided that Erica tells her about the happiest day of her life. Erica told the captor about her romantic history before getting angry and reminding the captor that Jack would never give up on her.

Kendall made plans with Ricky. Griffin remained worried about her safety and insisted on following her. Kendall joined Ricky for a picnic in the park. A disguised Griffin kept watch. Ricky asked Kendall about her relationship with Zach. Kendall claimed that she and Zach had been on the outs. She and Ricky kissed. Griff made a noise; Ricky jumped back. Kendall made an excuse to leave and went to the safe house, where she berated Griffin for nearly getting caught. Griff barked at Kendall for kissing Ricky. Kendall defended herself, telling Griffin she knew what she was doing.

Asher told Caleb he was working on tracking down Erica. Over Caleb's protests, Asher hacked into Erica's e-mail. Caleb berated Asher, then followed him to the park to apologize to his son. Asher agreed to work for Caleb here and there.

Jack refused to let Krystal quit. Krystal came to Jack's on-the-job rescue. Bianca went to see Jack with an idea about how to reach out to Erica: a Web video. Bianca told Jack that she had gotten an e-mail from Erica. Jack reluctantly agreed to record the video.
