At ConFusion, Randi reeled as she and Frank discussed him having to redeploy to Iraq. He assured her of his love but she pulled away from his kiss. He insisted that he would return to her despite her fears. Angie and Jesse entered and Angie noted that they couldn't stop Frank from going back into combat. Jesse said all they could do was let him go. "All of you are crazy for thinking that this is okay," bellowed Randi, who then took off. Frank's parents tried to console him as he spoke of letting Randi go in order to spare her the pain of possibly losing him. Angie excused herself to speak to Randi and urged the girl to be patient and to stick with Frankie, "to give him something to come home to." Meanwhile, Frank argued to Jesse that him giving up Randi was akin to Jesse leaving town to protect him and Angie. Jesse countered that Frank was copping out. Angie returned to the table and she and Jesse decided to leave to give Frank and Randi some space. Randi rejoined Frank and told him that she loved him and would wait for him — but, she clarified, she wanted to marry him before he left.

Amanda asked Jake to help her with her baby quandary, noting that she wanted to find a loving family to adopt the child. Of David, she said, "He won't look for the baby if he thinks it's dead." She wanted Jake to assist her in faking a death certificate and mapped out her whole plan, which involved them leaving town together, him inducing labor, the baby being given up for adoption and them returning to Pine Valley with a counterfeit death certificate. Jake thought that the plan was insane but she begged him to consider it. He held her when she started weeping. Once alone, Amanda spoke to her baby, promising that she was going to find it wonderful parents. "I will do anything I can to keep you safe," she told the unborn tot.

David and Krystal consulted with his attorney about getting physical custody of Little A. Krystal balked when the lawyer proposed getting Adam arrested for kidnapping and she remained uncomfortable at the thought of painting JR as a neglectful parent. In the end, Krystal agreed to do whatever it took to keep Little Adam safe. She raised the issue of Amanda's baby again and David continued to insist that he didn't care about it. She demanded a legal document stating that he wouldn't pursue custody of the baby and threatened to withdraw her support for his custody bid for Little A if he didn't comply.

At the casino, Aidan confronted Pete about how he hacked into the Cambias system on Ryan's behalf. Aidan told Pete that he wanted Pete to continue helping Ryan, then report to him about Ryan's activities. Pete agreed when Aidan offered cash and his silence to Zach and Kendall. Aidan left and when Colby returned to the table, Pete told her they were going out for lobster.

At Fusion, Ryan covered that he'd been looking at confidential Cambias records when Kendall entered. She asked Ryan what was wrong with her that she wasn't fighting for her marriage. Ryan tried to convince Kendall that Zach was solely to blame for the problems in the Slater union. Kendall observed that Ryan genuinely hates Zach.

Jake was rude to Krystal when she tried to get an update on Amanda's condition. Krystal insisted that she had only divulged the true paternity of Amanda's baby because she was trying to do the right thing. Jake told her she was no longer welcome at the hospital. Back at Wildwind, David presented Krystal with the documents she had requested.

Zach read Bianca's letter to Reese in her room at the casino. Reese broke down in tears. Zach left and met up with Aidan downstairs. Aidan filled him in on his conversation with Pete. Zach asked Aidan what had made him sleep with Kendall. As Aidan struggled for an answer, Reese appeared in the doorway. Zach led her away and Kendall arrived in time to see it. "It's true, isn't it?" she asked Aidan. "Reese and Zach are having an affair." Aidan said that he didn't know. She opened up to Aidan about how she felt as though she had lost faith in her marriage vows even before her coma. Upstairs back in her room, Zach told Reese that he wanted to stay out of her life in order to protect her. Upset, Reese told him to get out now. He did. When someone knocked on the door, she thought it was Zach and apologized for kicking him out, explaining that she wanted him to stay but was scared to lose another person. But her visitor wasn't Zach, it was Aidan, who got an earful. He left without revealing his true identity.

At ConFusion, Colby urged Pete not to waste his money on her as they supped on an extravagant meal. Colby wanted answers as to the change in his financial situation and he said that he was exploring his options. Ryan arrived and Colby asked if his new boss knew about this. Pete approached Ryan and offered his computer assistance; Ryan turned him down and returned home to Emma, who asked him if he was working against "the bad people" who had hurt Greenlee. Jesse stopped by and told Ryan, "I think they found Greenlee."

Zach came to the house to kiss the boys good night. Kendall told Zach that she misses him. She apologized for having pushed him away and said that she wanted him back. When he suggested that it might be too late, she accused him of having slept with Reese. "I didn't," he said. "But I wanted to."
