Today's Quarry Sex episode is brought to you by Ziploc Double Zipper bag! Blair p.o.'d Todd by arriving at his hotel door, while Tate boasted to Adriana that he could roll his own sushi. Rex walked in and demanded to know what the hell was going on! Natalie went to ask yet another Rodi's bartender — Billy — about who left with John. Meanwhile, John and Marty toweled off from the rain at her place. At a nearby table, Bo told Lindsay about Paige's new job, while Nora found Paige at the coffee shop and pulled up a chair. Having time to stop for coffee, Antonio continued to grill Cristian about what's going on with Jessica, who was screaming to Nash at the quarry. Nash tried to get her to leave, but Jessica shrieked that she couldn't go back to Llanview and that everything he'd said about them was right.

Marty insisted that John stay while his coat dries. They had some coffee, but John seemed antsy about the condition of his leather jacket, which Marty informed him would take HOURS to dry. Well, it doesn't have to be completely dry, he said, and then they exchanged a few more veiled comments about the wet jacket before he escaped the awkward situation. He thanked her for the coffee and she thanked him for helping her with Cole.

Rex was upset to see Tate and Adriana on the floor ... eating sushi! He claimed that he was just there to get an extra battery for his computer. Tate referred to himself in the third person as he talked about his new sportscaster job, and read a fortune that said something about winning the prize (presumably Adriana). Cool fortune, said Rex, but not as cool as getting one that says you're going to kiss an elephant on the lips ... or something. "Look out, Bob Costas!" Rex called out as Tate went off to his new gig. Done with the quips, Rex broke it to Adriana that he has to leave town for a few days to follow Todd. He'd promised Michael that he'll never let Tommy fall into Todd's hands, so he has to go to Chicago.

Natalie asked Bo and Lindsay if they'd heard anything about Jessica's whereabouts, but they weren't even aware that she was missing. Lindsay offered to keep Bo company while he sulked about Paige leaving. She remarked about how well they were bonding and reached for his hands, causing Bo to misinterpret her intention. Meanwhile, Nora tried to persuade Paige not to leave Llanview, telling her it was selfish to hurt Matthew like that. Paige interrupted a warm moment between Bo and Lindsay to tell Bo that she had decided to stay in Llanview.

Antonio became more and more enraged as he thought about Jessica running out on Jamie. When she wants to talk, she'll call, he tried to assure himself. Nothing's going to change her decision, remarked Cristian. Antonio demanded that his brother tell him what he knows, and Cristian blurted out that perhaps things would change now that Nash is leaving, leading Antonio to believe that Jess must have gone after Nash. As Cris was about to dish more, Antonio got a call about Jessica's empty car by the side of the road.

Jessica continued to sob and run her hands through her wet hair as she hollered to Nash that she couldn't lose him and that he was right about her marriage and Jamie's adoption. Nash listened intently as she explained that she needs to be with him. They hugged and she made him promise to never leave her again. They declared their love for each other, then got down to some serious lovemaking on top of a giant tarp.

Jessica couldn't bring herself to tell the judge that she wanted to adopt Jamie. A serious rainstorm started as Nash drove off into the night, gazing at a picture of Bree, while John and Marty ducked into Rodi's. The rain made Marty recall her days in Ireland. John admitted that he'd done some background research on her and knew she'd spent time there. Nash talked to Bree's photo and explained that him staying would be worse than him leaving. Jessica turned around to face Jamie and sobbed as she said she didn't deserve the little girl for a daughter. A stunned courtroom looked on as Jessica told Antonio that she couldn't adopt his daughter.

Paige told Bo about her latest job offer ... in Bhutan. There's a cholera outbreak, she told him, and she wants to honor Hugh's memory by doing something good. Matthew walked in as Paige told Bo that she committed to three months in Bhutan and would stay longer if necessary. Matthew was upset about about everything changing and went into a rant about people leaving, dying and/or burning his house down. Matthew was sent off to be entertained by a "video magazine" while Nora talked to Paige and Bo about what was going on. Paige tried to reach out to Matthew, but he remained angry with her.

Marty commented that Patrick thought Irish beer tasted worse in the states (smart man!). John pointed out that Marty rarely talked about her late husband. John said he could relate to Cole because he lost his own father and talked about a family friend, his father's partner, who helped him out. Marty suggested that perhaps John could help Cole in the same way, then cleverly brought the conversation around to his breakup with Natalie. John looked over at the pool table and recalled his times with Natalie. Marty challenged John to a game of darts.

The judge asked Jessica if she was certain about her decision and called a recess. Dorian asked Clint if this was a little bit of Tess revisited. Absolutely not, said Clint, and Natalie, Viki, R.J., Dorian and Clint got into a debate over the situation. Carlotta asked Cristian if he knew what was going on. Outside the courtroom, a compassionate Antonio was willing to listen to Jessica's doubts, but all she could say was their family is a lie. Everyone came out as Jessica babbled unintelligibly, and Antonio told them that she wasn't making any sense. She needs a doctor, Clint suggested, and Dorian offered her services. Jessica took one look at Jamie, made a quick apology and ran out. Natalie asked Viki why she let Jessica walk out like that. When she's ready to admit what's going on, she will, explained a sympathetic Viki.

John and Marty had a rollicking good time playing darts ... until one of Marty's darts hit the bartender in the butt! Marty admitted that her legendary dart status was not for accuracy. Marty apologized to the bartender and was grateful to not be banned from one of Llanview's only beer joints. Just after John and Marty left, Natalie came in and the bartender, Mac, informed her that John had just left with a lady.

The judge explained to Antonio that she put them on her docket as a personal favor and reprimanded him for letting this kind of behavior take place in her courtroom. Antonio asked Cristian why he and Jessica haven't been so friendly lately. Antonio lied to Jamie that Jessica was "sick" and didn't want Jamie to catch it. Even Carlotta could see that Jessica's outburst had something to do with Nash. Antonio seemed dumbfounded, but started to put two and two together and pleaded with Cristian to explain what was going on with Jessica.

Nash was driving along, telling Photo Bree that he wanted to live happily ever after with her and her mom, while Jessica got into her car, continuing to sob. She drove aimlessly as she thought back to her wedding day, when she argued with Nash, then replayed a string of memorable Nash/Jessica moments in her mind. She pulled over and got out of the car, sobbing in the pouring rain. Moments later, Nash saw her car, but no Jess, who was having a Level 5 meltdown at the quarry. She screamed her heart out as lightning flashed above, then turned to face Nash.

Still at the police station and not out searching for her son, Marty called Cole's cell and left another message. John suggested that she give her son a few hours to cool down. Marty came to the revelation that she doesn't know Cole very well at this point in his life. Meanwhile, Marcie tried to persuade Cole to audition for Oklahoma! but he said he'd rather be playing sports. Jessica showed up late to the mini-celebration at the diner. Jamie sent shivers up Jessica's spine as she sweetly whispered the word "Mommy" when Carlotta chatted about the adoption. Rex ran into Nash at Rodi's and commented on his choice of beverage.

RJ and Dorian shared a rare heart-to-heart at the courthouse. RJ asked why she was so serene and guessed that she must have her talons in Clint Buchanan. Dorian didn't lie, and said there was always an undeniable chemistry between her and Clint. RJ told her he was concerned about her getting hurt. What existed between Clint and Viki is dead and buried, declared Dorian.

At Llanfair, Natalie was concerned about Viki going to the hearing and running into Clint. Viki asked if Nat would consider quitting her job to avoid John, and Natalie admitted that she'd thought about it. Viki suggested her involvement with John might have led her astray from what was important: herself. Natalie assured her mom that while Clint was busy with Dorian, some other guy would come along and snap up Viki. Clint arrived seeking coffee, and suggested the three of them show up at the courthouse as a family. Viki asked if he and Dorian had a good laugh at her expense while she was on her worst date in history, and he guaranteed that no one was laughing. Viki informed him that their days of friendship — and him walking into the house without knocking — were over.

Marty grilled John about his conversation with Cole. She found it hard to believe that Cole would confide in a total stranger. John told her about the boxing incident at the gym, prompting Marty to ask if Cole was on steroids again. He said no, so she asked if there was anything else she should know about her son. He showed her the recommendation letter, which he'd somehow found time to write, and she was shocked to see that John McBain could string a sentence together! Marty thanked John for his help, and offered to repay him with a beer. "I never met a beer I didn't like," cracked John.

Cole told Marcie that if he couldn't play ball, he'd go crazy, but that he wasn't about to learn to sing and dance to be in a musical. But Oklahoma! has some of the greatest songs of all time, she argued, even demonstrating with her own rendition of the title song, which Cole quickly put a stop to. Meanwhile, Britney made it clear to Starr that she was going after Cole now that he's a free agent. Starr told Britney that she was ready to watch her "skanky ass" get shot down. Henry showed up to lend Britney his algebra books, and when he tried to defend Britney to Langston and Starr, they barked that Britney is not really his friend. Britney took things too far and brought up Starr's "rapist daddy." Starr countered with a slap across Britney's face. Marcie interrupted their latest squabble with the dreaded sign-up sheet and announced that Cole was planning to audition. Britney told a disappointed Henry that she couldn't work on the history project with him as she had promised — she had to learn her audition song for the school musical. Cole pulled Starr aside and asked if she was okay after her fight with Britney. When Marcie showed Langston that Cole and Britney had already signed up, Langston put her pen to the paper ... and wrote down Starr's name.

Nash told Rex that he was leaving town for good, and Rex seemed to think it was strange that he'd leave his daughter behind. Nash said he was looking out for "someone else" by leaving. Rex picked up on just who he was referring to, and noted that running away only causes more problems than it solves. Nash insisted that Bree would be better off with just two parents and not an extra one to confuse things. Rex admitted that his mom thought that once, too, but that didn't do him so good. Nash stuck to his decision and took off, so Rex warned him to drive carefully. "I hear it's gonna storm like hell," he forewarned.

Jessica gave Jamie a bracelet with her birth mother's name it, and Cristian presented her with a gift from him and Jamie — a collage of photos of Jess and Jamie together. Jessica seemed distracted and overwhelmed as she accepted the gift. Cris asked if this was what she really wanted, or if Nash made her happy. Jessica insisted that she wasn't cheating on Antonio and that there was never going to be something between her and Nash. She informed him that Nash was leaving Llanview.

Everyone convened at the courthouse, and RJ was thrilled to see Jamie, noting that she looked more like Keri every day. Keri would be happy that Jamie will have a good female influence, RJ told Jessica. Clint was surprised to see Dorian at the hearing. With all of her connections to the Vegas, she practically feels like Jamie is her grandchild, explained Dorian. Viki refused to accept Dorian's offer of congratulations. As Antonio and Jessica stood to face the judge, Antonio asked Jessica if she was ready. She hadn't been able to think about anything else, she told him. The judge asked Jessica to declare her intention. Jessica stammered, then shook her head. "I can't do this," she began to sob.

At the gym, Natalie ran into Marty, who was quick to apologize for interrupting her conversation with John the other day. Natalie said it didn't matter — they're broken up. Cole asked John for a letter of recommendation to play on the school baseball team. Starr freaked out at school over her breakup with Cole, and Britney overheard the news. When Rex saw that Marcie was with Michael, he claimed that he really needed to talk to Michael about a fight he'd just had with Adriana. Blair surprised Todd on the plane and informed him that she was there to help him find his baby.

Nash still couldn't get a straight answer from Jessica about her feelings for him vs. Antonio. Jessica refused to admit that she made a mistake by marrying Antonio. He tried to make her imagine what their life as a family with Bree would be like and to convince her that it's not right for her adopt Jamie. She told him that they'd been through this a million times, and that her decision is firm: She chooses Antonio. Well, then if her decision is made, he'll make his, Nash declared. The only way to make things better for all of them would be for him to leave, he said, even if that means leaving Bree behind. The only reason he'd stay would be for Jessica, he admitted.

After eavesdropping on Marty's exchange with Natalie, Miles asked Marty why she couldn't trust him with her problems. He then went on to explain that he didn't reveal the contents of the letter because it contained sensitive info regarding Todd's missing son. Marty was amazed to hear that Todd's son might be alive.

Marcie excitedly told Michael that she had to run to talk to the principal about the musical. When Marcie was gone, Rex told Michael about the clue that Miles got, and explained that it must be bogus because it sent Todd to Chicago.

John gave Cole some advice about sparring: Never challenge a guy twice his size. Cole talked about how he loved to be physical, no matter the sport, and John explained that's because of the endorphins and the "natural high" they give you and likened it to being a cop. Cole broke down and admitted that the only thing he really cares about right now is Starr. Not so great in the advice department when it comes to love, John continued to give Cole pointers on how to get involved in sports again, likening it to getting back his badge. When Marty saw Cole with John, she immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion — that her son was in trouble. Cole showed his mom the letter of recommendation, but wasn't willing to accept her apology and ran off. Marty lamented her changing relationship with Cole to John.

Britney implied that Langston was a lesbian because of her "pent-up passion" for Starr's plight. Marcie broke up the squabble. Britney informed one of her followers that Cole was finally free ... to date her. In class, Marcie could barely contain her excitement as she announced the upcoming musical, then had to explain the difference between the words "thespian" and "lesbian" to Britney. No one wanted to participate. After class, Cole asked Marcie for a letter of recommendation. She agreed, but under one condition, that he audition for the school musical.

Blair asked Todd where his new "girlfriend" Evangeline was. Todd made a Freudian slip about Blair playing "hooker," er, hookie, and told her he didn't need her help. Blair insisted that she was there for herself because Todd's son is also sibling to her own children. A dense fog delayed the plane's landing, giving Blair more time to get on Todd's nerves. When she suggested playing a game, Todd cracked about joining the Mile High Club with her. She was talking about mind games, Blair explained. Oh, right.

Michael told Tommy his story would end happily ever after, while Rex called Miles to press him about the information he gave Todd. As their plane prepared for landing, Blair told Todd that she sincerely hoped he'd find his son. Jessica challenged Nash to leave if that's what he thinks is best. She stiffened as he leaned in to kiss her, so he walked away, presumably for good.

Rex and Adriana basked in the glow of some morning lovemaking when they were rudely interrupted by Tate bearing breakfast. Clint called Dorian and thanked her for a great date, and suddenly Nash was in his living room asking for his help. At the diner, Carlotta was thrilled to hear about the adoption hearing that was schedule for that afternoon. Marcie told Michael that she was put in charge of the school musical, Oklahoma!, which had coincidentally always been her favorite. Blair tried to butter up Starr with breakfast and apologized for not being there for her daughter when she was breaking up with Cole. Layla showed up at Evangeline's door just as she was leaving for Chicago, then recalled how much fun they had in Chicago when a former client of Evangeline took them all over town. Todd soon followed to plead with Vange not to go to Chicago with him.

Jessica looked as though she were about to lose her lunch as Antonio rubbed her shoulders and beamed about the adoption. Jess requested a moment to "pull herself together" while Antonio went to talk with his mom. Carlotta seemed to notice that something was off with Jessica, who quickly bolted so as to evade further scrutiny.

Clint was less than thrilled about Nash's impromptu visit and stated that Jessica's life was no business of Nash's. Clint seemed surprised to hear the adoption was happening so soon, but reminded Nash that Antonio is Jessica's husband and adopting Jamie is the next logical step. As Nash continued to bug Clint about helping Jessica see what she was doing — adopting Jamie to cover up her true feelings for Nash — Clint wasn't having any of it. Clint advised Nash to do the right thing and step aside. Jessica walked in and wasn't happy to see Nash there with her dad. Clint left the two of them alone to talk.

Todd tried to convince Evangeline that it wasn't smart for her to go to Chicago with him. Layla agreed, arguing that she'd either get hurt by him or get hurt somehow on the trip. Evangeline told her sister to butt out, but Todd reiterated that he wouldn't allow Vange to put herself in danger.

Tate explained that he came by to share some exciting news. Rex joked that he's getting a stadium named after him! No, said Tate, he's been offered a job as a sportscaster for channel 7. "LLANVIEW LIVE!?!" screamed Adriana, as though it were MTV's TOTAL REQUEST LIVE. Tate gave Adriana a hug, practically giving Rex a coronary. When Adriana went off to take a phone call, Rex advised Tate to back off his girl. Tate said he could see why Rex is concerned, goading Rex into attacking him and making Tate look like the innocent party. As Adriana scolded Rex, Layla burst in to announce that Todd had a lead on his missing son. Rex was immediately concerned, asking Layla to keep an eye on Tate and Adriana while he went off to deal with Todd. Adriana told Tate that she blabbed to Rex about his interest in her, and Tate said it was no wonder Rex attacked him.

Blair told Starr how proud she was that she broke up with Cole to stop their families' sparring. Blair asked Starr to go easy on her father because he's been dealing with the loss of TJ and then revealed that TJ might actually be alive. Jack listened in from the doorway and overheard Blair tell Starr that their dad was going off to Chicago to look for his son and that Evangeline would be joining him. As soon as Starr left for school, a concerned Jack asked Blair if Todd was going to marry "Miss Williamson" and start a new family. Blair explained that nothing was going to happen between Todd and Evangeline and that his love for Starr and Jack was secure.

As Todd begged Evangeline not to jeopardize her career for him, Rex showed up and told Todd that he had to talk to him about his son. Todd explained that he got a clue from Spencer via Miles. Rex offered to go to Chicago for him, but Todd insisted on doing it alone. Evangeline tried to play the Blair card, but Todd said he didn't care what Blair thought either — he is going to Chicago and no one can stop him. Meanwhile, Marcie told a pensive Michael how she wished she'd had Tommy from the beginning.

Antonio's mami brought him breakfast, while he pushed it away, saying he was too nervous to eat. Carlotta asked if everything was okay with Jessica and Antonio. He admitted that things weren't the same since Tess. Meanwhile, Jessica yelled at Nash, reminding him of Tess. Nash explained that he was talking to Clint because he doesn't have a father of his own. He tried to get her to admit that she wishes she'd chosen Nash over Antonio and that the impending adoption is causing her to realize that more and more.

Adriana seemed distracted as Layla talked about Rex running off to help Todd. Rex rushed into the diner and asked to speak with Michael right away. As Todd's plane prepared for takeoff, a stewardess two rows back told Blair to buckle up.
