After numerous unreturned phone calls, Jake confronted David about Amanda. David assured Jake that Amanda was fine and had been working to maintain a low stress level in case the procedure was effective. Jake revealed his conversation with Dr. Hines, and said that the doctor mentioned that she hadn't performed the procedure. David covered the truth and said that he'd told Dr. Hines that her services were no longer needed. Jake wanted to know why.

David concocted a story about a doctor who'd had twice as much success as Dr. Hines. Jake pelted David with questions, sure that something was amiss. David became more irate as Jake tried to figure out the missing piece of David's story. Jake said that he would ask Amanda, which happened to coincide with Amanda's arrival at the hospital.

David left Jake and Amanda to talk, and Jake implored his wife to be honest with him. Amanda said that the possibility of being pregnant with David's baby turned out to be harder to deal with than she'd imagined. Amanda's nervous demeanor led Jake to feel as though his wife wasn't sharing everything. Jake assured her that she could be completely honest.

Jake then asked why Amanda and David had decided not to use Dr. Hines. Amanda parroted the information that David quoted earlier, and Jake became more suspicious. He laid out the reasons why he thought there was something he didn't know, and as he did, Amanda became more and more uncomfortable. Jake then looked directly into his wife's eyes and stated that there had been no insemination.

Amanda continued to insist that she had been inseminated, but Jake was not convinced. Jake's questions sounded increasingly demanding, which made Amanda's nerves more frayed. Finally, Amanda said that she couldn't take Jake's badgering any longer. She told Jake that she didn't need his kind of help, and walked away.

Zach asked Tad why he hadn't taken Kendall home. When Tad hesitated, Zach wanted to know what Tad was hiding. Tad hemmed and hawed, so Zach thought that the problem was Aidan. Tad defended Aidan and said that Aidan was doing what he'd been hired to do. His impatience rising, Zach asked a final time about what Tad didn't want to say.

Tad tried to convince Zach that although Aidan was upset that Tad had tracked him down, Aidan had things well in hand. Zach didn't believe Tad's tale, and accused Tad of lying to protect his friend. Tad was curious as to why Zach felt Aidan would need protection. Zach clearly stated his belief that Aidan wanted to seduce Kendall. Tad tried to keep up the ruse, but eventually admitted that he hadn't seen Kendall.

Zach asked Tad why he lied, and Tad said that he believed in Aidan's attempts to keep the federal agents at bay. Zach demanded to know where Tad found them, but Tad refused to divulge any information. Tad said that if Zach pursued Aidan and Kendall without a plan, Kendall would end up in jail. Zach demanded that Tad leave, and called Rachel downstairs. Zach told the nanny that he needed to leave for a while. When Rachel went back upstairs to be with Ian, Zach retrieved a gun from his hidden safe.

Kat stopped by the house while Kendall was in the kitchen. Aidan handed her an envelope full of cash and she traded it for a small bag of an unknown substance. She wished him well with his plan and then left before Kendall spotted her. Aidan called out to Kendall, and Kendall stumbled back into the living room. They shared some small talk, and then Kendall decided that she needed more wine.

Kendall was able to clear her head enough to remember where she'd left the corkscrew. She went to retrieve it, and Aidan told her that he would pour her another glass. As soon as Kendall was out of the room, Aidan emptied the unknown substance into Kendall's wine glass.

Kendall returned, and she toasted Aidan over her renewed sense of hope and happiness. She noted that she couldn't wait to get back to her family, but said that she finally felt at ease with where they were in their journey. Kendall fell silent for a moment, and Aidan watched her closely to see if the drugs were starting to take hold. Kendall then said that she knew Aidan well, and knew what he was up to.

Kendall accused Aidan of trying to get her drunk, and said that it turned out to be just what she needed. Then, Kendall said she wanted to step outside for some air. She tried to stand but wasn't quite steady on her feet. Aidan propped her upright while Kendall proclaimed that Aidan had been her hero again. He was pleased when she decided that she needed to express her gratitude with a hug.

Adam visited Erica at the Yacht Club and apologized for what he'd done to keep Kendall on the run. As he opened the door and started to leave, he told Erica that he had no right to ask for her forgiveness. Adam said that he needed to put an end to the nightmare and confess. Ryan appeared in the hall and noted that he would make sure that Adam did as he promised. Erica called out to Adam before the men could leave and begged him not to confess.

Ryan was flabbergasted at Erica's request, but Erica quickly explained that she believed Annie needed to be the one to pay for the crime. Certain that Adam wouldn't have pulled the trigger if he had been in his right mind, Erica insisted that the cover-up was completely due to Annie's selfishness. Adam refused to let anyone else take the fall for the murder, and Ryan sided with Adam. Ryan assured Erica that Annie had already begun to pay for what she did. Adam ordered Ryan to contact Jesse and the district attorney so that Stuart's murderer could be arrested.

Annie made a tearful and impassioned plea for forgiveness towards the camera that Adam had recently reactivated. Her soliloquy was interrupted by sharp pains in her abdomen. She tried to get to the couch, but after a few steps, the pains became more severe and she collapsed to the floor. Moments later, Annie noticed that she was bleeding, but didn't have enough strength to yell for help.

Weak, Annie tried to pull herself across the living room floor to the phone. Meanwhile, Scott descended the stairs with a suitcase in hand. He looked at the closed living room doors, and briefly considered going in. He decided against that idea and swiftly left the house. Moments later, Annie fell into unconsciousness. Scott returned, and decided to check on Annie. He opened the door, and was shocked at the scene. He checked for Annie's vitals, and then called emergency services.

At the station, the district attorney approached Jesse and asked where he'd found Kendall. Jesse told him that Kendall was still at large. Confused, the DA wondered what Jesse meant when Jesse said that he'd found Stuart's murderer. Things became clearer when Adam, followed by Ryan and Erica, rounded the corner and said that he wanted to confess to his brother's murder.

Erica tried to call Zach, but was only able to leave voicemail. She and Ryan allowed themselves to be hopeful about Kendall's homecoming. They looked into the interrogation room, and Erica noted that Adam looked lost. She said that she wanted to help Adam, but Ryan reminded her that Adam had made it clear he just wanted the nightmare to be over.

Jesse started a recorder, and Adam immediately noted that he understood his rights and didn't need a lawyer - he just wanted to pay for what he'd done to his brother. The district attorney asked for a recount of everything Adam remembered from the night of Stuart's death.

At that moment, Natalia attempted to approach the interrogation room to tell Adam that an ambulance had been called to the Chandler house. Ryan discouraged her from interrupting, and explained why Adam had requested the meeting. Ryan said that the ambulance call was likely another stunt by Annie to prevent Adam from telling the truth.

Adam talked about how pieces of his memory from the night of Stuart's death had started to resurface, but in an illogical order. Before Adam continued, he asked for some water. Jesse excused himself to retrieve the water, and was surprised that Erica was still waiting, concerned. Erica reminded Jesse that she and Adam had been through a lot together, and said that she wasn't sure that Adam would survive everything that he stood to lose with his confession.

Paramedics took Annie to the emergency room. Upon initial evaluation, David said that Annie's bleeding was not typical for an early miscarriage. He gave directives to the other medical personnel and said that he wanted to rule out a tumor and aneurysm. As they wheeled her away, Scott asked David if Annie would be all right. David was unsure, but hoped that Scott had gotten her to the hospital in enough time.

Zach stopped by his casino and met with a dealer in an empty room. The dealer laid out cards as if they were about to play blackjack. Zach looked at the card that was face down in front of him, and saw an address written on the card. The dealer said that he'd almost lost Tad a few times, but eventually found out that Aidan and Kendall were at a rundown boarding house. The dealer then shared pictures the dealer had taken through the window. In the shots, Kendall and Aidan seemed to be in compromising positions.

Angered, Zach grabbed the dealer's shirt collar tightly and demanded to know if Tad had paid the dealer off. The dealer insisted that he'd only done what Zach instructed, that the pictures were taken from his car across the street, and that he had the negatives to back up his story. Zach released the man from his grip, and slowly left the casino.

Aidan suggested that Kendall needed to lie down, but Kendall resisted. She said that she wanted to go with the good feeling she had and said that the feelings made her want to dance. Aidan was hopeful that a few close spins would lead to something more, but his hope faded as Kendall started to talk about all the things she loved about Zach.

Moments later, frustrated, Aidan told Kendall that she needed to go to bed. Kendall was angry at being forced to do something she didn't want to do. Aidan felt he knew what was best and made her accompany him upstairs. When they reached the bedroom, Aidan wrested Kendall into bed. Kendall continued to call Aidan by her husband's name, and begged him not to leave her.

Furious that his plan had been a colossal failure, Aidan ignored Kendall's pleas and stormed out of the room. A short time later, Kendall descended the stairs and, without provocation, disrobed.

Ryan arrived at the hospital and found Scott in the waiting room. Initially, Ryan acted as though Annie had pulled another one of her stunts. Ryan quickly changed his tone when Scott mentioned how much blood Annie had lost. Ryan asked questions, but Scott told Ryan not to pretend her cared. Scott said that all of the pushing Ryan had done might have led to Annie's latest malady. Ryan insisted that he'd only been concerned with the truth.

Scott went home and found Lucrecia trying to scrub the blood out of the carpet. He sent her home and said that he would finish cleaning up. While he scrubbed, Scott had flashbacks of his father lying in virtually the same spot. After a few moments, Scott threw the scrub brush in frustration. He then spotted the red light of the hidden camera and went ballistic.

Scott ripped the recorder from underneath the liquor cabinet and threw it across the room. When he did, a DVD was ejected from the machine. Scott loaded the DVD into the laptop and watched Annie's tearful testimony and collapse. His cell phone rang and when he answered the call, he quickly asked about Annie's condition.

David emerged from surgery and told Ryan that Annie had lost the baby and still wasn't in good shape. David's pager went off and he quickly said that Annie was in trouble, then he ran off again.

Amanda found David and told him that Jake believed that she was raped. David told her that Jake would only find out what happened if one of them confessed. He tried to comfort her, but Amanda demanded that David never touch her again. Jake showed up and, having overheard part of the conversation, landed a punch on David's jaw.

Adam emerged from the interrogation room in handcuffs, but Erica stopped Adam before the officers could escort him downstairs. Erica revealed the news about Annie's latest hospitalization and the loss of the baby.

Zach arrived at the boarding house and when he looked through a window, he saw Kendall and Aidan locked in a passionate kiss.
