Rex informed Dorian that he plans to marry Adriana no matter what she says. Dorian seemed impressed with Rex's tenacity and raised a glass to him being her potential son-in-law, but didn't give her blessing just yet. "First, I have a few questions for you," she announced, then subtly tried to talk Rex out of proposing by reminding him that he'd already had one failed marriage and had slept with Jen's mother, Lindsay. But Rex made a pretty convincing argument and Dorian realized that Rex had thought it all through. Dorian then asked if he'd thought about the ring and advised him to find a rock suitable for a Cramer woman. Dorian said it meant a lot to her that he asked for her consent and that Rex has her blessing. He gave her a really awkward, little hug before heading out. "I'm going to spend the rest of my life making Adriana happy," he swore before leaving.

Outside the Buchanan mansion, Natalie slapped Jared after he gave her an unwelcome kiss. Jared asked Natalie to listen to what he has to say, but Nash saw Jared manhandling Natalie and told her to get away. Nash made a veiled threat to Jared, but that wouldn't be Jared's final confrontation of the day. Later, Bo told Jared that he'll be checking out his story and warned Jared that he'll pay if he screws up anything for Renee and the Buchanans. "If I find out that you're not one of us, you're going to wish you were never born," Bo threatened.

Cristian arrived at the facility where Evangeline was staying and was horrified to hear from an attendant that she was "gone." Layla arrived to gather Evangeline's things and explained that her mother had obtained a court order and brought Evangeline back to Silver Spring, MD. Cristian told Layla that he'll always love Evangeline.

Meanwhile, Sarah and Adriana traded bad mom stories over shots at Capricorn. Adriana wondered if her mother would ever accept Rex, then guessed that something was bothering Sarah. Sarah admitted that she was miserable over Cristian and needed him to move on from Evangeline. Natalie and Jessica interrupted their gabfest with the news that Jared is a Buchanan. Sarah thought she was going to be sick, so Natalie suggested throwing some tequila on top of that queasy stomach. Nash, Jessica and Natalie sat down and Jessica wondered if Jared knew he was a Buchanan before he met Tess. Natalie couldn't even being to fathom that one. Sarah called Cristian and was upset when his phone went straight to voicemail. She buried her face in the bar as Natalie wondered where their tequila was.

At Langston's house, Starr berated Langston for letting Cole go off with the intent of telling the truth. Cole doesn't need people telling him what to do, said Langston, reminding Starr that it was Cole's decision to tell the truth. Somehow the argument suddenly became about Langston and Starr. "Everything that's going on is not fair!" Starr screamed before running upstairs. Starr soon returned from her "time out" and told Langston that she just didn't to see Cole screw up his life. Langston assured Starr that John would step forward and help keep Cole out of jail. Langston asked if Starr still hates her, and joked that she couldn't hate her "foster aunt." They giggled and ended up in a hug.

At the hospital, John tried to convince Cole to let him take the blame for shooting Miles, but Cole insisted on talking to Miles before agreeing to anything. Meanwhile, Roxy tried to entertain a recovering Miles with stories of her casino days. Miles interrupted and asked if there was a point to this whole story. Roxy began to explain that there was a purpose behind the story of her "lives and loves", just as Cole walked in and asked if he could speak with Miles. Roxy expressed her condolences to Cole and remarked that his mother had nice feet. "You can tell a lot about a person by their feet," she said. Once alone with Miles, Miles told Cole that he really did love his mom and never meant to hurt her. Cole said he shouldn't have shot Miles but Miles didn't want an apology. Cole explained John's offer to take the blame for Cole. Outside, Roxy asked John if he had a "congealed weapon" and told him to stay away from the man she loves, causing John to do a double take. Cole came outside and told John that even though it didn't feel right to hide the truth, he would let John take the blame for Miles's shooting. Meanwhile, Roxy tried to tell Miles how she feels about him but when she finally let out the words, he was already asleep.

A musical montage began as Jared took a drink and glanced at Asa's photo on the mantle, while Natalie drowned her sorrows at Capricorn and deleted Jared's contact info from her phone. Roxy gazed at a sleeping Miles in his hospital room; Cole returned to Starr a free man. Dorian cut Rex out of a photo of him and Adriana and put Dorian's face in his place, while Rex was at the jewelry store looking at engagement rings through the window. Adriana finished her shot and left the bar, just as John arrived. Cristian climbed into Evangeline's old hospital bed and curled up with her photo. John took shots at the bar and made a paper airplane with his bill, unintentionally sending it in Natalie's direction. She looked back at the bar and decided to join him. "Be my guest," he said as he poured her a shot. "You okay?" she asked, and of course, his reply was no. "Me neither," she said, putting an empty shot glass down next to his.
