David says no! She just floats back into his life and she wants him to just walk away? Where has she been? When did she get back? Di sighs it’s complicated, but Babe tells her dad that she’s been back for a while. Does he remember that nanny she told him about? David exclaims she came back for her grandson! They have a grandchild together! The nanny? She didn’t tell anybody, not him or J.R. or Tad? She trusted him when she left, and could have come to him. Di tells him she had other things to take care of, and still does. David notes she came back to town with a new face and new name, so why tell them now? Di tells him Tad found her; he can fill him in on the details. Tad says no; he lived it once, that’s enough, and she can take it from here. David declares he’s not letting her go again, at least not until she tells him everything.

Babe explains how Tad put it all together, that Diana was really Dixie and she had come home. David says she obviously didn’t run home to Tad, did she? No violins or heartfelt reunions? Tad doesn’t think she wants to have anything to do with Hayward either. David seems to remember the baby; his eyes light up as he says to tell him about the baby! Tad didn’t have any faith in her, didn’t think she could carry a child to term. They’re not together, so does that mean a custody suit? Di tells him to stop it—he doesn’t know what he’s doing, “There is no baby.” David exclaims she risked her life for that little girl—he’s so sorry! Di can’t talk about this with him now, but David points at Tad and says she left because of him. If he didn’t push her away, her daughter could be here today, right now! Babe leads David away and Di’s sorry, but Tad asks why? Hayward was always twisted, “You finally just bothered to notice.” J.R. says she didn’t come all the way back home to get a guilt trip about Hayward, “Suck it up and move on.” Tad agrees he’ll do that, but Di tells him not to go like this. She didn’t want to believe the two of them had drifted so far apart. Together Forever was their dream, too, not just hers. J.R. says she left; things changed. Di says she betrayed him, with David, and with how she came back; she takes her share of the blame. Tad asks if that’s why it took her so long to come home, because she was lugging that guilt all over Europe? It must have been a real problem getting connecting flights! J.R. says Tad wanted her back as much as he did, “Either act like it or shut up!” Di tells him to stop it! He should be angry with her, not Tad. She can’t undo what she’s done, but if she could bring them back together… “It’s never going to happen, Mom,” J.R. tells her. Tad asks if she sees what a warm, generous person he grew into when she was gone? Di says she let J.R. believe someone was dead, too, but he’s hugged her and called her Mom. It’s forgiveness, “Can’t you do the same for Tad?” J.R. says she fell off the side of a mountain. She went through surgery and therapy, and found her way home. Tad looked him in the eye and told him his infant son was dead. He decided he wasn’t good enough to raise him, and gave his son to his own son, the one he really loves; that’s what Tad did while she was gone. Winifred brings Little Adam back, explaining he was crying for his daddy. J.R. asks Di if she’s coming, and she says no, she’s going to stay here a little while longer; she’ll meet them at home. Alone with Di, Tad tells her to do them all a favor and knock it off. Either that, or get on a plane and go back to wherever it is she came from. Di insists he and J.R. need each other—she had to start somewhere! She sighs she can’t ask him to forgive her, and Tad asks if she means can’t or won’t? It doesn’t matter, because he doesn’t think the knife twisting in his gut is going to disappear any time soon! Di tells him to forget about her in all of this, but Tad says he tried and it didn’t take, but if she insists, he’ll give it another shot. Di protests he loves J.R., but Tad says it doesn’t matter anymore. A lot’s happened since she’s been gone. God knows, he could have used her help, but he didn’t get it. She should go home and hover over her grown son, but leave him out of any more of her miracles! He starts to go, and Di says he has always been such a stubborn jerk, but now he’s gone above and beyond! Tad tells her she doesn’t get it! Three years didn’t just change her, it changed all of them, and something tells him none of them are ever going back to the way they were before.
