At the Hubbard house, Jesse tried to keep Angie calm. Brot arrived and reported to Jesse, Angie, Taylor and Randi that Frankie is still alive but that his hands had been crushed. "A doctor's hands are everything," sighed Angie, who was nonetheless grateful that her son was alive. Angie was eager to get to Germany to see her son. "He needs his wife," maintained Randi. Brot advised waiting to find out what the army advised. Brot volunteered to ultimately accompany Randi to Germany. It was clearly hard for Angie to accept that Randi was now the number one woman in Frank's life.

When Jake got home from work, Opal alerted him to the fact that Amanda had packed her things and left for the airport. Jake read the note that Amanda left for him, which said that she needed a fresh start elsewhere.... At the airport, Amanda saw a woman watching the telenovela that Jake had gotten her hooked on. Back at the Martin house, Opal beseeched Jake to stop Amanda from leaving. Amanda had flashbacks to the good times with Jake, then grew sad as she saw a dad playing with his wife and baby.... Amanda returned to the Martin house and told Jake that she had forgotten something: him. She admitted that she had run out of David-induced fear and that she wanted to keep her baby. Jake maintained that what he and Amanda had was stronger than anything David could bring their way. "I love you," he told Amanda. Opal was delighted when she walked downstairs and saw Jake and Amanda kissing passionately.

At the hospital, Kendall remained convinced that Ian's situation required their immediate action, and she wanted David to perform the surgery using the Chandlers' experimental valve. David got a call from Gayle telling him that Adam and Krystal were sitting together at the yacht club and that she had heard Krystal threaten Adam.... Scott approached Zach about the surgery and Zach informed him that Ian was not going to have surgery with the valve. Zach told Scott to take a hike. Kendall reported to Zach that there was no change in Ian's condition. Kendall begged Zach to believe that something good was in the offing for Ian.... Zach visited Ian then reconnected with Kendall, to whom he delivered the news that the New York surgeons aren't available to work on Ian. Zach expressed fears about the valve.

Krystal stopped by the hospital to see David. She told him that she and Adam had had an argument. David reiterated his desire to know what Adam is holding over her but she insisted it's something that she needs to handle on her own. They parted on testy terms. Kendall, meanwhile, informed Erica that David was refusing to do the surgery on Ian. Erica resolved to fix that and went to the Chandler mansion. Against Gayle's protests, she barged into the study to see Adam. She begged Adam to convince David to use the valve on Ian. She told Adam that he owes her and that she was calling in her marker. Adam came to the hospital with Erica to see David and, after they made an off-screen deal about what Adam would give David in return for David agreeing to do the surgery, David told the Slaters that he would do the surgery if they could reach an agreement about the valve. Zach and Kendall gave their consent and leaned on each other for support.

At the yacht club, Erica's arrival interrupted Krystal and Adam's heated confrontation. Krystal bolted. Across the club, JR apologized to Marissa for getting off on the wrong foot with her and thanked him for stopping him from taking a drink back at ConFusion. They agreed to begin anew. JR opened up to Marissa about his fears about Ian's health. Marissa shared her own sob story about her parents' death. Scott showed up and informed JR that the Slaters won't give consent to Jake to perform the surgery and that David won't perform the surgery with the Chandler valve. Marissa was amused by JR's dismissal of Scott.

Erica told Krystal that Adam had told her what he was using to blackmail her with. Krystal was dubious.

Adam returned home and told Scott and JR that David was doing the operation with the valve, after all. "What did you promise him?" JR demanded. "I did what I had to do," Adam hedged. JR instantly accused Adam of giving Little Adam to David.
