David shocked Amanda with the news that he wants to have another child with her, via artificial insemination. He offered to give her joint custody of both kids and to let her go back to Jake if she agreed. David exited and Jake arrived. Amanda told him what David had proposed and Jake, understandably, had a bad reaction. "You want me to get in line behind David to have a baby with you?" he seethed. A saddened Amanda returned home and confided in baby Trevor. Jake went to the hospital to confront David. He warned David that Hayward would not destroy his marriage. Jake then went to see Amanda and the baby, assuring her of his love. Amanda said she wanted to make the decision about the baby with Jake, but he felt that the choice was hers.

Aidan explained to Kendall how she could use online message boards to communicate with Zach. She decided to use a poetry site and was touched when Aidan knew a poem that was special to her and Zach. Aidan lamented that all he wanted was to love someone who loved him back. "You'll find someone," Kendall said reassuringly. Aidan's hand lingered on Kendall's.

A woozy Adam was grilled by Zach about what he had seen on the night of Stuart's murder. Scott came in and ordered Zach to keep his hands off Adam. He sent Adam upstairs and demanded to know what Zach was doing there. Zach told Scott that Adam had claimed to want to help Kendall but that it wasn't true. Scott pulled a gun on Zach, who remained calm.

At the penthouse, Ryan asked Erica for parenting advice while, upstairs, Emma threatened to tell everyone that Adam killed Stuart — if Annie kept living at the mansion. Annie stressed to Emma how important it is that she keep quiet about what she saw.... Erica got word that Annie never showed up to meet with the wedding gown designer. Ryan raced upstairs and caught Annie in Emma's room. Annie covered by saying that she had come to tell Emma that she was calling off the wedding. Annie headed home and heard Zach accusing Scott of protecting the person who killed his father. Zach hounded Scott and Annie told Zach that he would kill him unless he left. Annie began firing the gun. Security and Adam raced in. Annie said it had been an accident. After Zach left, Adam promised Annie that he was going to keep Slater away from her. Scott then berated Annie for firing the gun and she hissed that he needed to stay quiet about the killing. Scott warned Annie that Adam was on the verge of remembering, which he and Annie both agreed would kill Adam. Annie went to see a sleeping Adam, saying aloud that she couldn't marry him but loved him. "It's my turn to protect you," she said.

Ryan and Erica realized that Emma had blackmailed Annie into calling off her nuptials. Zach showed up and told them about the episode at the mansion. Zach got a call from Jesse, summoning him home. Aidan had tipped Jesse off to the poetry site, and once this info was relayed to Zach, he eagerly logged on. Zach found Kendall's message and responded with one of his own. In the church, a delighted Kendall received Zach's response. "You are with him in his heart," Zach had written.
