Jamie comes in with a birthday present he wasn’t allowed to give Little Adam before. Di looks at J.R. as she says that was so thoughtful of him; she’s sure J.R. doesn’t have a problem with that. J.R. gruffly says he caught him at a good time, but Little Adam is taking a nap, so he guesses he has to open it. He tears the paper off to reveal a small, brightly colored football and calls it Strike Two, “Little Adam is all about soccer.” Di sighs they could start an argument over a blade of grass, and urges J.R. to just let Little Adam keep the football. J.R. gestures to a large vase and says if he makes it, the ball goes. If he misses it, he guesses Little Adam is the proud owner of one ugly football. Jamie tells him to go ahead—he sucks as a quarterback! J.R. takes the shot and misses, then grumbles that’s one more toy he’ll never play with. Now, he has something for him, a message to take back with him to that loser he calls “Dad”. Apparently, he’s been having a problem with his mother not being 100% upfront with him, “Remind him that one certain stepfather was an accomplice to two baby thieves and tell him that I think he’s a self-righteous jackass!” Di thanks him for trying to look after her, but it isn’t his problem and it certainly isn’t Jamie’s. Jamie says J.R. doesn’t care about her problem; he’s just jumping at the chance to throw Little Adam in his face. J.R. agrees he’ll bring his crime up every second of his pathetic life, just because he can! Di exclaims, “Okay, boys! What happened to you?” Just last night, they were sharing the baby, sitting down and talking! She tells them to stay here for just a second and they both ask where she’s going? Di smiles she has a surprise and leaves.
J.R. says he’s happy to have his mother back, she almost lost her life, “Don’t kill my buzz by hanging out here too long.” Jamie asks if he thinks he wants to spend a minute longer than he has to with him? The minute Dixie comes back, he’s gone! Di returns with a big plate of chocolate chip cookies, saying she baked them this morning, and they’ve got every kind of nut they can think of. Jamie and J.R. exchange glances, and Di tells them she’s just kidding—she challenges them to find one sliver of a nut in there! Jamie helps himself, and J.R. asks if she thinks a cheap trick like this is going to get them to go easy on each other? A couple of chocolate chips? He moves to the sofa next to his brother and says to save some for him! Di smiles as she watches them.
As Di snatches the last cookie from the plate, Tad arrives in time to see the happy family scene. Di tells the boys to stay here for just a minute; she and Tad have some things to hash out. They go outside, and Tad says he’s decided not to tell the family she isn’t Dixie. Di hugs him, sighing with relief as she thanks him, but pulls back, stunned, when he declares, “You are.”
