At the Spaulding manse, Phillip checked in on Lizzie, who admitted she's still upset about what happened at Dinah's party, but she's ready to move on and start anew in her relationship with Bill. Then she expressed her gratitude to Phil for taking care of Grady, but informed him that there's no chance of a "do over" in their relationship. He understood. Meanwhile, on the roof at Towers, Shayne tried to talk an emotionally wrecked Dinah down from the ledge. She assured him that she's not thinking about jumping. He explained that he just wants to help her out and repay her for all of her assistance when he was going through a tough time. Dinah was touched and opened up about spilling the beans about her involvement in the kidnapping to everyone at the party. She considered skipping town, but decided not to run away from her problems.

After their confrontation with Alan, Daisy and Buzz approached Marina and Mallet's house. Daisy worried about telling her family about pulling a gun on Spaulding; Buzz agreed to keep it quiet. Marina was elated to see her granddad and hugged him. Then she introduced little Henry to him. Buzz was happy to have a great-grandson and promised to be there for the little guy, just like his uncle Coop would have. Daisy was miffed and pointed out to her family that the new addition to the family won't solve their problems with the Spauldings.

At the Beacon, Bill played with his new dog, Birdie, and pointed out how much he hates Dinah now. Later, he called Lizzie and the duo pretended not to know each other and set up a date. Lizzie was thrilled. Afterward, she had a little chat with Beth and encouraged her mom to assist Phillip with his trial, adding that it's the only way their family can move forward. Meanwhile, an angry Alan informed Phillip that Daisy tried to kill him and that he's called the cops on her. Frank entered and Alan demanded that he arrest Daisy. Phil told Frank to leave and promised to take care of Alan.

Bill showed up at the mansion to pick up Lizzie for their date. After they departed, the couple played cute and described themselves to each other. Then Bill pushed her on a swing. Meanwhile, Frank caught an emotional Beth reading pages from Coop's book. She admitted that she misses Coop and reads his book almost every day. Frank was stunned but sympathetic. He invited her over to meet baby Henry. Beth congratulated Marina and offered to help in any way possible. Beth choked up when Buzz revealed that the child's name is Henry Cooper.

Shayne and Dinah bonded over doing something normal and played catch together. They ran into Bill and Lizzie at the park. Bill lost his cool and demanded that his sis stay away from them. Dinah stood her ground, however, and tried to plead her case. Bill told Dinah she's not his family anymore and stormed off. Dinah broke down in tears and ran off, telling Shayne that she doesn't want him to see her like this and that she wants to be alone. Shayne tried to show Dinah that she's changed and admitted that he'd be upset if she wasn't who she is. They shared a tender moment and Shayne vowed to stand by Dinah through all the drama. She sobbed and they hugged. Shayne then reminded Dinah of all the good she's done for Mallet and Marina. They decided to pay the happy Coopers a visit to help cheer up Dinah. They all thanked her for bringing them baby Henry and invited her to his upcoming christening.

Daisy went to see Ashlee, who apologized for being the one to tell her about Grady. Daisy admitted she tried to shoot Alan because she wants to see him dead for hurting her family. She worried that she'd never see Grady again and said she feels dumb because her family was right about him, but confessed that she still loves him.

When Beth returned home, she told Phillip about her visit to see the Coopers and pointed out that they're looking toward the future. Beth finally offered to help Phil with his defense for the trial. Meanwhile, Lizzie encouraged Bill not to shut Dinah completely out of his life because they are blood and she'll never go away. She urged him to focus on starting over in their relationship for now but also advised him to give Dinah the chance to reconcile when the time comes.
