An awe-struck Cole watched Starr audition for the school musical. Starr saw him and stopped singing. Marcie said she'd give Starr another chance to try out, much to Brittany's chagrin. Starr realized that Langston had signed her up because she knew Cole had signed up. Cole explained that he agreed to audition in return for a letter of recommendation from Marcie. Marcie said Cole didn't have to audition. Cole left the room along with the rest of the teenagers. "A one-person show," Brittany sniped at Starr. Marcie asked the teens if they always followed Brittany's lead. Yes, they nodded in unison. "Now I'm the guy that ruined the school play," Cole said. Cole and Starr wondered if being in the same production would be the same as seeing each other. Cole announced to the pack of Brittany-followers that he changed his mind. He'd be auditioning anyway. Marcie wondered how this play would be interpreted by their parents. Starr explained that she didn't know how her parents would take it because they were hunting for Todd Jr. Marcie thought that was wonderful; no child should be taken from his/her parents. (Oh Marcie, Marcie, Marcie.)

Adriana and Tate started off to New York in a limo for Tate's appearance on THE VIEW. Adriana reviewed some possible questions for Tate. He confessed that he'd never been in love and that he wouldn't discuss his love life on the air. Adriana encouraged Tate to let the real guy out.

Bo told a disappointed Nora that their lead didn't pan out. He reminded Nora that they were dealing with terrorists, but assured her they weren't out of options. Talia asked about bringing Jessica in to help with the investigation. Antonio replied tersely, "I don't even know where Jessica is." Bo asked Vincent, Sean and Sean's grandfather for their help in finding the arsonists. Bo said the mayor asked them to keep the hate crime element out of the press. Bo didn't agree with the mayor's decision and asked them to be part of a press conference. "Are you talking about baiting them with our lives?" Vincent asked. Matthew also asked to be part of the press conference. Nora wasn't too keen on it, but Bo thought it was a good idea and gave a moving speech about fighting the terrorists. At the rally, Cris was surprised to see Nash, who was pleased as punch to tell him he was staying in Llanview.

Jessica and Nash feared Jamie had seen them kissing. Carlotta arrived and things became very uncomfortable. Carlotta said she'd stay and coolly invited Nash to leave. Nash reminded her that this was Jessica's home and threatened to call Antonio. Nash left. Jamie was about to tell Carlotta what she saw, but Jessica interrupted. Jessica asked Carlotta for a few moments alone and begged the little girl for forgiveness. "You mean kissing Nash. Was that the mistake?" Jamie asked an astonished Jessica. Jessica admitted she shouldn't have done that. Antonio came home. "Jessica's sorry about the court and the kissing," she told her astonished Papi.

Evangeline and Layla ran into Cristian at the gym. Vangie was surprised to learn from Cristian that Blair had accompanied Todd to Chicago. Then she hinted to Layla that she might be pregnant.

Calling from Chicago, Rex brought Adriana up to speed on how he had Blair and Todd arrested so they wouldn't find out any more about Todd Jr. Adriana hoped Todd would never find out that Rex was behind Blair and Todd's arrest. Tate dropped in on Adriana. "What did Rex do now?" he asked. Adriana said she was just frustrated with the manufacturer. Tate said he was going to be on THE VIEW today. Adriana was very excited for him and the thoughts of Tate hyping Exposed on national television. Tate convinced Adriana to accompany him to New York. While Adriana got ready for the limo, Rex called her. However, Tate turned off the cell phone and pocketed it.

Todd and Blair tried to talk their way out the Chicago police station. The cop on duty made it clear he knew about their respective rap sheets. "Bonnie and Clyde wouldn't have gotten off with a slap on the wrist," he said. Rex hung out at the station pretending to file a police report. The owners of the adoption agency showed up and Todd proceeded to tell them the story of Todd Jr. The owners listened and got the police to drop the charges under two conditions: 1. he was to pay for any damages, and 2. he was to leave Chicago. Rex seemed somewhat relieved (but he knows as well as anyone that Todd doesn't always do what he's told).

The Llanview High jocks teased Cole about signing up for the school musical. Starr asked Cole what was wrong. Cole replied, "What do you care?" Langston told Starr she signed her up for the school musical. The bratty girls sent Henry out to get coffees for them. Marcie explained that being in a school musical didn't mean they were geeks and she promptly added Langston's name to the list. Starr decided to keep her name on the list. Starr was the first to audition. "You are going to pay for this," she said to Langston and she went on to sing "Together" as part of her audition. Cole walked in and smiled while she sang.

Jamie asked to see Mommy. Antonio explained that he had lied about Jessica being sick. "It was wrong. Papa should never lie," he said. Antonio assured his little daughter that Jessica loves her very much. Jamie asked Antonio the question that all of Llanview is wondering: Does Mommy still want you? Antonio was called in to work. Jamie was afraid Jessica would be at home, but Antonio assured her that Jessica was at work and Jamie would be okay at the loft. Jessica made plans to tell Antonio the truth, yet again. Nash was happy to hear that. Jamie walked in on Nash and Jessica's goodbye smooch.

Jessica dreamt of her night of passion with Nash and then woke up and looked at a family photo where Antonio was the daddy. Jessica refused to take Nash's calls, despite his pleading voice messages. Nash dropped by Jessica's and was upset when it was clear Jessica hadn't told Antonio about their relationship. "You felt too guilty, didn't you?" he asked. Jessica explained to Nash, "I'm married. I'm already obligated," but quickly added that she still loved Nash. Jessica predicted that Antonio would be humiliated and furious with her when the truth comes out. Jessica added that she can't give Nash up and the two hugged.

Clint, Dorian and Viki went out looking for Jessica. Viki thought Jessica might be with Nash and that his influence on her might explain her odd behavior at the hearing. Clint admitted that Nash recently confessed being in love with Jessica. Clint didn't know if Jessica felt the same way. Viki reminded them that Jessica feared Tess' return.

A happy Nash took Bree home, hoping to start the beginning of a happily ever after with Jessica. "Today was a special day," he beamed. That happiness ended when Dorian, Clint and Viki came by demanding what he may be hiding about Jessica's whereabouts. He said he didn't know where Jessica was. Viki pleaded with Nash to let Jessica make up her own mind. Nash just smiled and said he had done that before she married Antonio.

Antonio asked a guilt-ridden Jessica why she hadn't called or if she had "any idea what you did to Jamie." Antonio continued to tell Jessica how she had rejected Jamie. "She thinks you don't want her, and you don't," he added. Jessica wept "she deserves better than me." Jessica added that she had saved Jamie today by not adopting her. Antonio laughed hysterically as Jessica attempted to explain her behavior. Jessica tried to tell Antonio about Nash but got nowhere near that reveal.

John dropped by Marty's to see if he had left his notebook there. Cole and Marty shared their family birthday tradition with John, who seemed quite comfortable with them. He began to tell them stories about his dad. Cole and John compared notes on their late fathers. "You know, Cole, when you are young you can't appreciate your father," John said. Cole asked his mother if she had been on a date with John. Marty denied dating anyone, especially John McBain. Cole said "one of us should have a social life."

Rex, who was following Blair and Todd's hunt for Todd Jr. birth records, called Michael with an update. Nothing had happened yet. To stop Blair and Todd from finding any evidence, Rex called the police and reported a robbery.

Marcie told Michael that she senses Michael is keeping something from her. John arrived to check on his brother. Michael was angry that Marcie had text messaged John behind his back. Mike left the apartment. John explained that Michael was always a worrier. Marcie didn't think the look on Michael's face meant he was worried about a patient. Michael returned and made up with Marcie.

John and Natalie had an awkward run-in at Rodi's. Natalie admitted being jealous of the time John was spending with Marty. John assured her it would take him a long time to get over Nat and start being with someone else. Asa interrupted and misunderstood the proximity of Natalie and John. Natalie said that no one was getting married and explained that the celebration Asa had been invited to was Jamie's adoption party. That, of course, was canceled, but no one remembered to let Asa know. Asa saw Nora and Lindsay chatting (or shall we say spatting) and focused his attentions on them. John and Natalie continued their uneasy conversation and agreed it would be hard to see the other out on a date.

A teary Marty told Cole she was afraid he was turning away from her. They talked about missing Patrick and both confessed to being angry at Patrick for leaving them. Cole didn't think Patrick would be too proud of him now. Marty didn't think that was true. Cole said he got a letter of recommendation from Mrs. McBain if he promised to audition for Oklahoma!. Marty thought that was a wonderful idea. However, Cole didn't think too much of singing in the school musical.

Starr tried to explain to Langston that she meant it when she split from Cole. Starr brought her up to speed on the Todd-searching-for-his-son saga and why she didn't want to upset her father by sneaking around behind his back. Langston mentioned that Brittany was going out for the lead in Oklahoma! but didn't add that she'd already signed Starr up on the audition list. It didn't hurt that Cole's name was already on the list.

Soaking wet but happy, Nash and Jessica agreed they would have to tell Antonio the truth about their relationship. Nash suggested they tell him together and tonight. "The sooner we can get on with our lives," he said. Jessica thought she should do it alone, because Antonio would be very angry with Nash, after all. Elsewhere near the quarry, Antonio began hunting for Jessica but failed to find her (them?). Jessica returned to the loft and looked quite guilty when Antonio walked through the door. Nash happily drove Bree off to his place, overjoyed that they'd finally be a family.
