JR played nice to Babe and Josh in the nursery, claiming he was there to take his son to the park, but Babe told JR he wasn’t going to take Little Adam anywhere. She tried to throw Josh out; Josh spat that JR would only try to kill her again, then exited. Little Adam went off to have dinner, leaving his folks alone in his room. Babe accused JR point-blank of having tried to kill her and swore he wouldn’t get away with it. He tried to deny it, but she ticked off the evidence she’d accrued and he stopped defending himself. She asked if she should call the police. JR admitted to Babe that he loved her when he married her, but didn’t believe her when she said the sentiment had been mutual. Babe acknowledged that she had, at one time, intended to snatch custody of Little Adam from JR, but that she had genuinely fallen back in love with him along the way and scrapped that plan. JR had his doubts. Babe said she didn’t want to turn him into the police; she wanted him to help her fight for his survival and the survival of their marriage. She asked if he was willing to seek help. The answer depended, he implied, on what kind of help she was talking about. She wanted him to check into a substance abuse program to save their family. “Will you fight for us?” she asked, tears streaming.
Amanda tracked Jamie down during a study session and laid a kiss on him. A chipper Amanda explained that she was going to leave town for a while to serve as a surrogate mother. He had strong reservations. Josh interrupted their chat to talk to Jamie; Amanda was happy to leave. Josh reported to Jamie that Babe is in trouble because Jamie’s lunatic brother wants her dead. Jamie wasn’t willing to take Josh at his word.
Dixie approached Greg at the Valley Inn bar. She smirked that he had to give her what she wanted or she would ruin him. She informed Greg that she had proof that Josh is Erica’s son. “No laws were broken,” Greg insisted. Dixie was repulsed. When he refused to pony up Kate’s location, Dixie added that she also knew he’d been using his own sperm to populate the world. Greg replied that if Dixie brings him down, she’ll ruin her own daughter’s life by taking her away from the only parents she’d ever known. Greg then informed Dixie that Kendall is in a coma and that Erica already knows Josh is her son and made a case for her keeping quiet about Josh’s lineage in order to spare Josh pain. Dix seethed that Greg’s manipulation was not going to work on her anymore and he had 24 hours to get back to her with Kate’s location or suffer the consequences. After Dixie left, Greg summoned Tad to a meeting. “It’s about your daughter,” he told a confused Tad.
Erica reeled from Zach’s declaration that he is Kendall’s husband. Zach rushed in to see his bride after Erica informed him that she’s comatose. He stroked his wife’s face; she was relieved to hear his voice. Ryan pulled Erica out of the room to tell her something that she didn’t want to hear, which is that despite her protests to the contrary, Kendall loves Zach and vice versa…. Zach apologized to Kendall for having failed to protect her and Spike, but Kendall knew it was up to her to pull herself out of the coma. He rejoined Erica and Ryan and got the report on how Kendall’s accident had occurred. Ryan thanked Zach for getting Kendall away from Greg. Zach explained that he had separated from Kendall because she wanted to tell Erica alone that she wanted to raise her son with Ryan. Ryan’s eyes widened. Zach then described the situation at Greg’s ReGeneration spa and how Kendall came to realize that she loved Spike. Ryan broke down the “Kendall or Spike” conundrum for Zach.
As Julia tried to brush Kendall’s hair, Kendall fantasized about emerging from her coma and was distraught to realize she actually hadn’t regained consciousness. Before she came out of her fantasy, though, she watched Erica, Ryan and Zach discussing her medical options and Erica making the case for taking Spike early to improve Kendall’s chances.
Zach explained to Kendall that Erica and Ryan had agreed to the C-section, which horrified Kendall; she pleaded with Zach to stop them. “Save my baby!” she cried. Erica, meanwhile, assured Ryan that they were making the right decision. Zach said that whatever happens next is up to him. “I’m Kendall’s husband,” he revealed.
