Starr confessed to her parents that she was at the same party as Cole. Jamie asked Jessica if she and Bree would still be living at the loft when she returns home. Jessica covered by advising Jamie not to worry about anything but getting better. Jamie told Jess that she still wants her to be her mommy. Natalie found Nash at the hospital and asked what he was doing there. He insisted that he wasn't there to harass Jessica, he just wanted to see how Jamie was doing. "Send a card next time," Nat advised him. Natalie informed John that she quit her job at the station. Layla found her apartment door slightly ajar ... and Vincent sitting inside in the dark. Cristian confronted Evangeline about why she hadn't mentioned that she might be pregnant. He asked whether Evangeline was even sure that he would be the father, suggesting it might be Todd's.

Blair and Todd advised Starr to have fun at the party, but stay away from Cole. Starr told her father to be careful on his search. After Blair settled in for a nap, Todd received a call from Mrs. Bromley and wrote down some info on a notepad. Todd stroked a sleeping Blair's face before heading out.

At the party, Cole gazed at Starr from across the room. Clad in a straw skirt and two coconut shells, Britney was staring at Starr, too. Henry called Britney's cell and wondered about the noise in the background. She coughed and pretended to be sick. Langston overheard Britney lie to Henry and thank him for finishing the paper. Heather explained to Starr that she invited Starr and Cole when they were still dating, then pointed out some other potential hook-ups. Langston called out Britney on her deception. Britney countered by saying she'd blab Langston cheated on her mid-term. Starr and Cole both seemed miserable. Langston informed Starr about what Britney was doing to Henry. "Well, sometimes people will do stupid things when they like someone a lot," Starr commented, just as Cole approached.

Jessica seemed anxious in Jamie's hospital room. "We still need you," he told her. Jessica was saved by a call from The Sun office and told Antonio she had to go help out in Todd's absence. Jess ran off, and Natalie remarked to John how stressed her sister seemed.

Evangeline was upset that Cristian would even ask about her and Todd, but he felt it was a valid question. She tried to kick him out, but he apologized for not believing her and said whatever the outcome was, he would support her. Evangeline went to take the test.

Vincent told Layla he was there to make sure she was okay since there was a racist arsonist on the loose. They discussed Tate's move on THE VIEW, and Layla noted that the Exposed phones hadn't stopped ringing. Vincent pointed out that everything in Layla's life seems perfect — except that she doesn't have a boyfriend. "I don't need a man," she declared, prompting him to turn her words into song lyrics. He advised her to think about giving the men of Llanview a shot ... and to think about locking her doors.

John pointed out that it was kind of a coincidence that Natalie quit right after their awkward moment in the locker room. She said it had more to do with her and her future, like getting involved in Buchanan Enterprises. John said he thought she was making a big mistake by putting herself Asa's thumb, but she said she was actually excited about working for her grandfather. "As long as you're happy," he told her. "That's all I've ever wanted for you."

Langston threatened to embarrass Britney by "planting a hot one" on her at the party. Henry called again to tell Britney that he finished the paper ... and that he misses her. Langston then made another comment about "sucking face" with Britney if she didn't stop staring at Cole and Starr. Cole admitted to Starr that it felt right to be hanging out with her and asked her to dance. Starr was torn and admitted that she didn't know how much longer she could go on without giving in, but asked if it was really worth it. She started to walk away, then turned to face Cole as a ballad played and everyone watched.

Antonio flashed back to Jamie saying Jessica was sorry about the "court and the kissing." He thanked God for saving Jamie and bringing Jessica back safely. "I don't know what I would have done if I'd lost them," he said aloud. Meanwhile, Nash burst into The Sun offices to say he couldn't stand being without Jessica for another second. After some convincing, Jessica locked the office door and jumped Nash. They got down to business on Todd's desk.

Todd wandered around a dirty tenement building following the sound of a baby crying. Getting closer to the sound, he broke down the door (after knocking, of course!) and spotted a bassinet across the room. Blair sighed Todd's name in her sleep, just as a masked person stabbed Todd in the side and left him lying on the floor.

Evangeline and Cristian enjoyed a steamy encounter in the shower (and not just because of the hot water). Oops, turns out that was just a fantasy, as Layla interrupted his daydream and urged him to talk to her sister.... Vince ran into Vangie at the police station. When she almost forgot to take her briefcase, Vince concluded that something was bothering her and invited her to talk. He told her that he's determined to do something about the One Pure People attacks.

Nora told Clint that she's moving out of the Buchanan home. She insisted that Clint will be happy to see her go. Clint replied that he's going to miss her and Matthew; Renee and Asa said that the home will feel empty without family. The gang praised Matthew.

Natalie told Bo she wants to quit working at the police station. He pointed out that she's leaving because of John and urged her to give the decision some more thought. She insisted that she has and that she feels her opportunities are "challenged" there. Bo finally accepted her resignation, adding that he's going to miss her. After, Nat told Vincent that she quit. "It's about time," he said, though Nat was uncertain about what skills she has. Vince pointed out that she has her whole future ahead of her. Nat took his words to heart and came up with a plan. Later, Vince offered to help out Bo with the arsonist case. Bo urged him to let the cops do their jobs.

John and Marty went out for a drink. He was curt when she offered to get him a psych profile of the arsonist. She noted that he was agitated about something and asked if he'd like to talk. He explained that Michael won't open up to him about what's going on in his life, then accepted Marty's report. She slyly asked him about Natalie. He went right back to brooding. She promised to stop goading him and thanked him for talking to Cole. John was happy to help out with that and was confident that Cole would grow up to become a good person.

Miles met up with a professional escort, Jordan, to teach him how to pleasure a woman. She was a little surprised, but intrigued when he admitted to being a virgin. She promised to help him out. The first lesson? Foreplay, which in this case, involved slow dancing. "Ooh, Miles, you have amazing instincts," she purred. Miles was plagued with memories of his formerly deformed face. Next, she instructed him to undress her. He did, with her narrating the order in which her garments should be removed.... Renee was aghast when she got a call that there was a high-class hooker in the Palace.... Miles had a great time finishing up his "lesson." After, Renee ran into Jordan and told the escort that she'll uh, let her off the hook (no pun intended), as long as she doesn't show up at the hotel again.... Miles relaxed in bed, a goofy, satisfied grin on his face.

Todd thought of the picture he saw of his "missing" son. When Blair asked him if the baby reminded him of himself, he lashed out at her. Blair told him that he needs her right now and refused to leave him alone. She took a look at the photo and opined that the baby looks similar to how Jack looked as a baby. Todd didn't want her to forge a connection. He believed that he was failing his child. Blair kept pushing him to look at the picture, but he refused. He feared how the kid will turn out, given that crazy Margaret was his mother. Blair told him that he's a great father, but he credited Blair for how Starr and Jack have turned out. Blair listed all the reasons why he's a good dad. Todd asked her to be there when they find his child and take him home.

Natalie asked Asa for a job. He was thrilled to have her on board with his company.

Cristian ran into Evangeline in Angel Square and asked if she's pregnant. She told him to mind his own business, but he said it is if it's his child. He grabbed her bag from her and found her pregnancy test.

Adriana refused to share the limo with Tate, who accused her of overreacting to the situation. Rex warned Bo that he might have to arrest someone if Rex unleashes his anger on Tate. Rex informed Bo about Tate's declaration on THE VIEW and how he referred to Adriana as his Adriana. Bo asked if Rex listened to his prior advice on talking with Adriana and being honest about his fears, and didn't understand why Rex was so upset if Adriana explained that she didn't know Tate was going to have an outburst like that. Rex asked Bo what he would do if some guy was trying to steal Paige away, and Bo responded, "I would fight fire with fire."... Tate refused to let Adriana out of the limo, and Adriana told him about her stalker nightmare last summer. Tate then tried to make her believe she'd led him on by doing things like insisting on personally handling his fittings and going to Manhattan with him for THE VIEW taping. Tate also called her out on enjoying their kiss and all the attention he'd been giving her. He tried to make her feel worse by saying she'd treated him like a slab of meat to sell underwear while he went on national TV to talk about what a great designer she is. Adriana said she liked the Tate better when he was giving inspirational talks to high school kids.

Natalie opened her locker at the PD and gazed at a photo of her and John. Natalie and John shared an awkward moment in the locker room as John exited the shower, and Natalie declared that she knew how to prevent further run-ins. She said something cryptic about living in the present and pulled the photo of them off the door.

Dorian arrived late for her date with Clint at the Palace and found him talking to Viki. Dorian made a crack about the last time they ran into each other at the Palace, reminding Viki of her awful date with Doug. They traded a few barbs (Viki insulted Dorian's outfit!) and Viki went off to dine with Marty and Nora. Viki, Nora and Marty discussed their lack of male companionship. Miles sat at a nearby bar and overheard an attractive and busty blonde ask for someone's room number. Marty told the ladies that she'd never be able to get what she had with Patrick from someone else. Viki assured her that love can be terrific the second time around. Miles interrupted and complimented Marty on how beautiful she looked. After Miles left, Nora made fun of the way he doted on Marty. Again, Marty said no one else would ever compare to Patrick, and Viki advised her to see people on their own merits, not in comparison to her deceased husband. Miles eavesdropped as Marty rambled on about love and intimacy. They concurred that the last time they'd all had sex was with people who are now dead, so they toasted to sex with dead guys.... Dorian quipped that she understood Viki's need to see a psychiatrist, referring to her dinner with Marty. Dorian noted to Clint that they'd never actually spent the night together, even though they'd had "glorious sex." When would they make love? Dorian wanted to know. Clint offered to get the check.

Threatening a negligence suit against Antonio, R.J. tried to get Nash to help him out and reminded Nash that Antonio was backing his winery. "Don't make him lose Jamie, too," Nash pleaded. R.J. asked Nash what he meant by his comment. Nash gave a roundabout explanation that he and Jessica share a kid and sometimes that complicates things. In Jamie's hospital room, Antonio asked Jessica to stay with him, regardless of what she wanted to discuss the other day. He said he knew about Nash and that it's not her fault, and it became clear that they were talking about two different things. Paige interrupted to inform them that Jamie was expected to make a full recovery and would wake up soon, but might be suffering a retrograde amnesia. Antonio and Jessica hugged and Nash came over to tell them that was great news. "Don't pretend to be my good friend right now," Antonio glared at Nash. "I know what you're doing behind my back," then went on to say he knew how Nash tried to get Jessica to choose Bree over Jamie, and that he was the reason Jamie ran off. Antonio told Jessica he would make sure Nash never bothered her again. Jessica went to call her parents, while Antonio visited Jamie and found R.J. sitting by her bedside. Jess rounded a corner and was pulled by Nash into a kiss.... Jessica and Nash broke from their kiss. "Tell him," Nash instructed her, and she promised she would tell Antonio what was going on when Jamie was released. Jess went to Jamie's hospital room and Antonio said Jamie was getting better because they saved her together. Nash watched again from the window as Antonio hugged Jess.

Viki interrupted Clint and Dorian as they were leaving to tell them that she'd received a call from Jessica about Jamie. Miles asked a hotel employee where he could find some female companionship and handed him a bill, saying money was no object. Tate started to tell Adriana that he could do good things for her and her company, when he received a call from the editor of Fashionista who was interested in Exposed. "This is not Adriana Cramer, Tate Harmon's Adriana Cramer," she informed the person on the phone. But when they offered a cover story, she changed her tune. Bo and Rex discussed how to get Tate out of the picture when Natalie burst in and asked what was going on with Adriana and Tate. Rex ran off before Bo could further advise him on how to play his next move. Natalie informed Bo that she quit.

Cole commented that Mrs. McBain was going to have a stroke as she yelled on the phone to the school board about the pulled funding for Oklahoma! Henry interrupted Britney and her friend to say that he thought of a way they could attend Heather's Sweet 16 together. Marcie returned and explained that the school board couldn't pay for the rights to use Oklahoma! or any other play. Before everyone left the auditorium, Marcie thanked the students for their help and challenged them to the rise to the occasion. No one seemed to care, so Marcie used a little reverse psychology herself to lay a major guilt trip on the kids. Henry surprised Britney by coming up with a great idea: Write the show themselves! Starr volunteered Langston, suggesting that her poetry would be great for songs. Just moments later, everyone was reading photocopies of Langston's work and praising its musical potential. Langston reluctantly gave her OK for them to use the work.

The woman from the adoption agency, Ms. Bromley, said she was willing to share information on a particular adoption case, but only if Todd could prove that the child is his. Todd admitted to Mrs. Bromley that he'd never even seen his son and has no way to prove anything other than that he really cares about his son. Todd started to get angry so Blair stepped in, talking about the disreputable agency that sent her from foster home to foster home as a child. Mrs. Bromley was sympathetic as Blair explained how wrong it is to keep a child away from their loving parents. Blair was sweet as pie as she convinced Mrs. Bromley that she'd be doing the right thing by retrieving the file. She left behind a photo of TJ, which Blair handed to Todd.

Rex frantically called Adriana, while flashing back to Tate's display on THE VIEW, then threw his phone at the TV. Adriana was asked to sign a release for her unscheduled appearance on THE VIEW and seethed over how Rex would react to the footage. Jamie was rushed into the hospital and Michael attended to her. Cristian held an emotional Antonio back as he tried to intervene. Rex regretted throwing his phone once he realized it didn't work. "If that dumb jerk has hauled her off to his private batting cage..." he mumbled as he called directory information to reach THE VIEW. Meanwhile, Adriana reamed out Tate for parading her around on national TV like she was his trophy girlfriend. Tate tried to pass it off as a publicity stint. Adriana was especially furious because of how Rex might interpret the situation. Tate threw her for a loop when he claimed that everything he did on set was for real. Rex reached Adriana via the hotel phone and asked if he'd just been dumped. Rex accused Adriana of wanting "the Tate," and jumped up and down on his hotel couch as he asked what all that jumping was about. Adriana explained that it was out of her hands, and Tate asked to speak with Rex. "The Rex" requested to speak first. Rex threatened to doctor some photos that would ruin Tate, which seemed to rouse a little fear in Tate. Adriana and Rex smoothed things over, and Adriana headed to the limo. A dejected Tate replayed the footage while the production assistant informed him that he still had his mic on when he was arguing with Adriana. "You were fun," the PA commented. Adriana sighed and got into the limo.

Vincent showed up at the Palace and approached Viki, asking if she'd seen Natalie lately. Viki remarked how odd it was that Vincent had such an intense interest in her daughter, then balked when he asked if it was odd that Natalie was friends with a black man. He apologized, saying he was keyed up over the hate-crime arsons. They turned the conversation back to Natalie, and Vincent expressed his concern over Natalie's breakup with John. Natalie needs to focus on herself now, he declared.

Antonio cried and flailed around as Jamie was wheeled off to the trauma unit. Jessica, Antonio and Cristian sat outside wringing their hands as Antonio questioned how this could have happened. Carlotta and R.J. arrived after hearing the news. R.J. was livid to hear that no one was supervising Jamie when she left the loft. A guilty Jessica told R.J. that if he wants to blame someone, he can blame her. Playing the blame game is pointless, they all agreed. Paige arrived to deliver the good news that Jamie had pulled through, but Michael explained that she wasn't out of the woods because of pressure around her brain. Nash asked Jessica if he could stay, but Cristian pushed him aside. Meanwhile, Antonio told Jessica he needed her to be there. They agreed to not fight anymore, and Jessica stated that Jamie's all that matters now as Nash looked on.

After Mrs. Bromley left, Todd and Blair toasted beers to the potential good news. Blair offered to look at the photo first, but Todd seemed more concerned with Blair's history in horrible foster homes. It could be worse, Todd noted. "What if the people who adopted my son are turning him into ... me?" he pondered. Blair assured Todd that she would provide a good life for his child. Todd told Blair that Starr and Jack only turned out okay because of Blair, which she took as a compliment. Alone, Todd looked at the photo of TJ as an infant, while Michael called Blair to tell Marcie he loved her and would be home soon.... Antonio and Jessica's hands touched as they sat vigil over Jamie and Antonio whispered a Spanish lullaby. Nash watched from the window.

Tate prepped in the green room on the set of THE VIEW with Adriana by his side. He lamented not bringing something for good luck, and stunned Adriana with a big kiss on the lips. Meanwhile, Rex left a message for Adriana about what was going on in Chicago. After agreeing to leave Chicago, Todd told Blair that he wouldn't leave without answers regarding his son, and reminded her that he'd never let the law stop him before. Evangeline admitted to Layla that she might be pregnant. Cristian caught Nash hanging around Angel Square and questioned him about why he was still in Llanview. Antonio asked Jamie what Jessica meant when she apologized for "the kissing."

Cole bolstered Starr's confidence after her audition. Marcie sent Starr on her way as Cole began his audition, whose song was sung in the key of Michael Bolton. Starr stuck around to gaze at Cole, who wowed the audience and Marcie. Britney then nailed her audition song and Henry gave her a standing ovation. Marcie thanked everyone for their hard work and wished them luck. Henry excitedly talked about spending more time with Britney now that they'd be working on the play and going to Heather's Sweet 16 together. Britney got Henry to agree to help her with a paper and stay home the night of the party. If he helps her with the paper, she'll give him a "special thank-you," she promised. He ran off to the library, and Britney revealed to a friend her scheme to ditch the study session. Marcie then returned to the auditorium to tell the students that a lack of funding might prevent the show from going on.

Blair tried to talk some sense into Todd, arguing that there's no way they'll get more info on TJ from the adoption agency. Todd called Evangeline for some legal advice. Layla assumed Evangeline might be pregnant with Todd's baby, but Vange scolded her sister for jumping to conclusions. If there's any baby, it'd be Cristian's, Evangeline insisted, then admitted that there was this one time.... "It only takes one time," said Layla, and advised her to tell Cristian right away. Evangeline admitted that she didn't want Cristian to find out because she didn't want him to get back together with her out of pity.

Jamie told her daddy that "the kissing" refers to all the attention Jessica showers on Bree, but that Jessica explained it doesn't mean she loves Jamie any less. When Antonio left to take a call, Jamie asked Jessica if she loves Nash more than she loves her papi. Jessica answered that she loves Antonio and Jamie very much, then sent the girl off to play in her room. Once alone with Antonio, Jessica began to explain her reasons for not adopting Jamie, but Antonio wasn't hearing any of it. His patience waning, he demanded a straight answer. An eavesdropping Jamie shuddered at her father's raised voice. Outside in the square, Nash cryptically declared to Cristian that if he leaves town again, it won't be alone.

Tate was late to the stage as he apologized to Adriana for the abrupt kiss and said they'd discuss it later. Adriana nervously watched backstage as Tate told hosts Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck that there was someone special in his life — his first-grade teacher, and he wanted to wish her a happy 70th birthday! "But are you seeing anyone under 70?" the hosts asked. Tate then turned the audience's attention to the Exposed line, and the terrific designer who truly inspires him. The hosts asked for more info, like a name, and Tate yelled out, "Adriana Cramer!" He told everyone how she is talented and brilliant, then couldn't help himself and jumped up onto the sofa and screamed, "Adriana Cramer is the most incredible woman I have ever known!" Adriana covered her face in shame.

Todd accused Blair of going to Chicago to disrupt his search, but Blair insisted that she was there to support him. Todd stormed out, and found Rex outside the hotel room. Rex claimed to be there to offer his assistance. After persuading Todd to leave town and let him do the work, Rex left Adriana another message. A woman from the adoption agency showed up at Todd and Blair's door, saying she might have more information on the missing tot.

Tate couldn't contain his enthusiasm, and after some Tom Cruise-style fist-pumping, excitedly ran off to the green room to get Adriana and pulled her onto the set against her will. Rex was lying on his hotel bed and awoke to see his girlfriend on national TV ... and Tate introducing her to America as "my Adriana." Rex's jaw dropped as Tate summoned a shower of confetti onto the stage.

As Jessica and Antonio's arguing became more heated, Jamie sneaked out the back door. She wandered out into the square just as Nash told Cristian that he and Jessica are in love. "Antonio and Jessica are married," Cristian reminded him. "Maybe they still are," said Nash, as Jamie ran out and the sound of tires screeching were heard. In the loft, Jessica was about to confess to Antonio what happened at the quarry when she heard sirens and Nash burst in to tell Antonio that Jamie was hit by a car!
