Pete put the moves on Colby, who shot him down. Pete admitted to Colby that he'd lied to her about Scarlet being his girlfriend, that Scarlet was a call girl he'd hired to make her jealous. Pete told Colby that he loves her. "You're like a brother," she responded, much to his dismay. Pete tried to make Colby reconsider. A teary-eyed Colby told Pete that they could only be friends. He told her he couldn't do that and asked her to leave, which she reluctantly did.

At the Martin house, Tad interrogated Krystal about David. She insisted that JR was out of his mind on alcohol and that David had simply been helping her through a tough time. When Krystal mentioned the pills, Tad thought David had raped her. She assured him that that wasn't the case and blurted out, "David understands me." She told Tad that nothing had happened between her and David until Tad had left town. Tad blasted Krystal for throwing away their life together. Krystal said that men like Adam and David make her feel alive. He forced her to say out loud that she slept with David. Tad was convinced that David was using Krystal to hurt him. He made Krystal go with him to Wildwind. Krystal asked David to back up her account. "Tad doesn't want words," David observed. "I want you to get what you deserve," Tad nodded. He called David out on using Krystal to get back at him and to win custody of Little Adam. Tad wanted to know what would happen to Krystal once his plan succeeded. When Tad used Babe's name, David lost his temper and pointed a gun at his rival. Tad called his bluff and David lowered the weapon. Tad said that David couldn't take Krystal from him; he was giving Krystal to David. He walked out alone. Krystal broke down in tears.

At the Slater house, Reese and Zach marveled over what a long day it had been. Reese tended to Gaby and worried aloud that Bianca had left town to get away from her (Reese). Zach looked at Kendall's photo, which he put down when the phone rang, alerting him to the fact that Bianca had been in a car accident. Reese and Zach raced to the hospital. They were both thrown when Bianca was icy to them, and Binks accused Reese of having stayed behind to be with Zach. "You set me up?" gasped Reese. Bianca confirmed that she had never intended to go to Connecticut. "What's wrong with you?" snapped Zach when Binks asked if Reese and Zach were in love. They insisted that Bianca's suspicions were ridiculous. Binks was unyielding, so Zach left to check on his wife and Reese pleaded with Bianca to believe in her. Reese told Bianca that she couldn't live her life under Binks's constant, mistrustful scrutiny. "I know what I saw," Bianca hissed. "No, you don't," retorted Reese. Bianca said she was tired and turned away, resisting Reese's expression of tenderness toward her. Reese left and told Zach that Bianca was hurt and angry. Binks, meanwhile, wept in her sickbed and reflected on what had led up to her testing Reese and Zach. She received a note from Reese, who said she was returning to Paris. Bianca panicked and dashed out of her hospital room.... Zach returned home to find Reese snuggling Gaby and weeping. Reese told Zach that she can't leave her children. Bianca entered and apologized for being such an idiot. "I love you, I trust you," she said. They forgave each other and kissed.

Amanda went to Wildwind, frantic with worry about JR. David made her sweat a bit, then assured her that JR was alive. Amanda went back to the yacht, where JR was soused on the couch. "I can't go home," he slurred. She told him he could stay with her for as long as he needed. JR told Amanda about tying David to the piano and about telling Tad that Krystal is sleeping with David. JR moaned that perhaps he should jump off the boat. She told him to do it. "I am sick of you curled up with a bottle," she said. She thrust a bottle at him, which he poured out, swearing off booze once more. He told her that it helped to have someone who believed in him. They kissed tenderly.
