Babe protested that her mama wouldn't, but J.R. insisted she was confessing it to Adam right then; she thought she had to despite his trying like hell to talk her out of it. He asked Josh what he said to Krystal anyway? When Josh said he wouldn't let her risk her life for nothing, Babe took umbrage at his calling it nothing, and left with J.R. to support her mother.
MAYBE YOU CHANGED ME…
At Josh's loft, Bianca and Zoe weren't ready to let the night end; they went inside for more champagne. When Bianca wondered if this night could get any better, Zoe produced a decadent chocolate cake. She asked if Bianca had heard from Maggie, but apologized and called it awkward. Bianca said it was okay. They had no real contact, but she thought about her a lot and wondered how Maggie could have cheated on the person that she supposedly loved more than life itself? It changed the way she felt about her. Maybe being back here in Pine Valley changed her, too. Her family, her friends dead, hurt, threatened, "Or maybe it was you." She stroked Zoe's cheek, "Maybe you changed me." They were about to share a kiss when Josh came in and announced that Babe was with J.R., and things were about to blow sky-high. Bianca thought that was just what Josh had wanted, and again said he wasn't very different from Erica. Josh said if Krystal did leave the mansion, Babe and Little A would be right behind her.
PEOPLE AND THEIR DREAMS…
Ryan and Annie kissed by the fireplace at Wildwind and spoke about their dreams. Ryan spoke of his desire to invest in people and their dreams, kind of like a startup company he had once, only on a bigger scale. Annie's dream was to give Emma the best childhood ever, and Ryan wanted to help her make that dream come true. As things heated up, Jonathan came in; Ryan insisted it was all right, as he was about to leave. He did so, and Jonathan happily said he knew he was right to tell Ryan how she felt about him. Annie was horrified that he'd told Ryan, and thought it ruined everything because she no longer knew if he was falling for her or if it was just because of what Jonathan had told him.
DON'T DO SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET…
Adam was furious when Krystal admitted that the baby was Tad's, and guessed that she was never going to tell him the truth; Krystal agreed she never wanted him to find out. After overhearing them, Colby met Sean on the porch and worried that her family wasn't going to make it. She thought Krystal was for real; she finally really liked her. Sean called that a big mistake. It's all about parents, parental figures, what they want, and when they want it, "And if we're smart, we stay out of their way."
Adam called it priceless that Dixie had seen Tad and Krystal together, and noted she'd been right about being able to tell him something that would completely change his feelings for her. He shook with rage as he said she'd taken everything that mattered from him, including any feeling he ever had for her! Krystal insisted she loved him and knew his love for her could get him past anything; Adam asked if she really believed all the crud she was spewing? The night she was supposedly alone all night with Tad Martin, talking, he knew better but he wanted to believe her. As Krystal repeatedly proclaimed her love for him, J.R. and Babe came in. Babe realized it was too late, her mama had spilled to Adam. Adam pointed at J.R. and accused, "You knew. My devoted son, my namesake. You knew!" J.R. asked if he could blame them for not wanting him to find out? He told his dad he'd ruined his own life in so many ways, and urged him not to make the kind of mistakes that he did. Don't do something that he would regret. Krystal begged Adam to accept this; she, Babe and J.R. agreed it could stay in the family and no one had to know. Adam looked at all three of them before walking out of the room.
LOVE CAN'T EVER BE DUPLICATED…
As Tad searched the Internet for information about Krystal, Julia came to the office. Tad was upset when she passed on an invitation from Kathy to be her daddy date at a family picnic. Julia admitted she may have confused her because she told her that sometimes you can choose who your family is, "And she chose you." Tad thought that was too bad, "Because after everything I have been through, no child can ever, or will ever, replace Kate." Julia understood that love can't ever be duplicated, can never be like what came before or what'll come after. Tad admitted maybe it was just his need, but lately when he looked in Kathy's eyes, he saw Kate or Dixie staring back at him, and that was just too much to take right now. Julia sympathetically touched his cheek and said work was going to seem easy after this. Tad told her the problem was that you just never know what's going to hit you. He got a call and sighed, "Oh. It's you. Listen, I'm busy, I can't. Okay, shut up. Just leave me alone, all right? I'm on my way, but this had better be good."
Julia went home to find Annie sitting on the floor and staring into the fire. She sank down beside her, and Annie sighed that love was complicated. Julia agreed, "Yeah, it is, isn't it?"
A COMMAND PERFORMANCE…
When Colby said she couldn't give up on them, Sean told her you don't always have a choice. Colby plaintively sighed that she wanted her family. Sean held her, "I know."
J.R. looked on helplessly as Babe comforted Krystal. When the doorbell rang, he said he'd take care of this. When he opened the door, Tad walked past him into the house as he thanked God-was he all right? As J.R. told him this really wasn't a good time, Krystal saw Tad and asked him why he was there? Tad suggested she tell him. This wasn't his idea; it was a command performance. Adam came into the room, and Tad demanded, "Okay, you want to tell me what the hell this is about?" Adam gestured at Krystal as he replied, "Take your woman and the spawn you put in her and get the hell out of my house."
