In Richie's office, Ryan, slammed Richie against a wall and ordered him not
to think about Spike — or even speak his name. When Richie revealed
that he'd done research on cochlear implants, Ryan reluctantly listened to
what he had to say. It turned out Richie had gathered all sorts of data on
the top doctors, the best time to have the surgery performed etc. Lavery
remained dubious, Richie remained glib.

Kendall slipped a handgun into Spike's diaper bag, saying Greenlee was going
to get what she deserves. When Zach proposed spending the day at the lake, a
flustered Kendall insisted that Spike had a can't-miss play date. A
persistent Zach suggested that they get together later on, but she claimed
she had too much work to do at Fusion. Talk turned to Greenlee, and Kendall
admitted that she feels the need to keep her guard up with her former pal.

Erica begged Jack to tell her what Greenlee said to him, but Jack maintained
that Greens is entitled to her privacy. La Kane shifted gears by
recommending that Greens take a glamorous job ... in Paris. Jack shot down
the idea, remarking that Erica is not going to run his daughter out of town.
Erica ominously predicted that unless Greenlee leaves town, their daughters
"are going to rip each other apart." When Jack wouldn't do what she wanted,
Erica left in a huff.

With Aidan's help, Greenlee found evidence that her viable embryos still
exist. As she wistfully watched children in the park, Aidan cautioned her
not to get her hopes up. He questioned how easily the information was
accessed, pointing out that Zach might be playing Greens. She vowed to get
the truth from Slater via Kendall. Pulling out her cell phone, Greenlee
immediately called Kendall, who chattered about the play date and added that
they'd meet in the park. Greenlee realized that Zach must be within earshot
and prepared to spill the beans, but Aidan grabbed the phone from her,
warning her that she'd regret it if she made the accusation to Kendall. Back
at the Slaters' residence, Zach put his hand on the diaper bag, and Kendall
barked at him not to touch it. She covered by claiming that she didn't want
him to see Spike's Halloween costume and exited. Back at the park, Aidan
explained to Greenlee that if they're right about Zach, tipping him off
might mean she'll never get the embryos. He urged her to play it cool.

At The Comeback, Babe was short-tempered with Annie, accusing her of turning
on her own brother. Annie warned that Richie is not the man he claims to be.
Babe announced that Annie's brother has a physical illness and recounted
finding the pill bottle he tossed in the trash. She handed the bottle to
Babe,
who scoffed that it might be a fake.

As Adam dined on a lunch of crab cakes at the Chandler mansion, JR boasted
that his launch is going swimmingly, but clammed up when his dad poked
around for information. The elder Chandler revealed that he knows about JR's
alliance with Zach and also figured out that Greenlee is somehow involved.
Adam cautioned that whatever JR's up to might backfire. An irked JR accused
his father of not wanting to see him succeed and departed.

After Richie made a remark about "making a move" against his sister and
Ryan, Lavery crowed that he has the ex-con's threat on camera. They were
interrupted by Annie, who barged in to ask why her brother didn't tell her
he's dying.

Erica charged in to Adam's living room, saying she needed to do something
"heinous" and needed his help since he's the only person "hateful enough" to
show her how. Meanwhile in the park, Kendall rearranged things in the bag
with the gun. When she heard a woman's voice say that she thought Greenlee
would be there first, Kendall looked up in surprise.
