Cole tried to convince Starr to run away with him, but she thought his idea was crazy and would never work. Starr reminded Cole that she now has a bodyguard, which will make it difficult for her to run. Cole tried to convince her that he wants to be a good dad and provide for a real family. Starr shared that she had run away in the past and "it was awful." Cole proposed to Starr, but she didn't want to leave Llanview and have the baby without her mother. Markko interrupted. "I just can't do it, Markko. I just can't," she said as she walked off. After talking to her Aunt Viki, however, Starr changed her mind and returned to Cole. "You are my family now," she insisted as she kissed him. "We have to leave tonight," he said.

Rex and Gigi argued over Jared. Rex recreated how Jared must talk to Gigi. Rex leaned in and looked into Gigi's eyes. He went in for a kiss, which Gigi slapped him for. "I was being Jared. It didn't mean anything," Rex claimed. Gigi accused him of trying to play her. Shane and Marcie popped in. Shane wanted to show Rex the second edition of his comic book. Rex saw that Evelyn Evil looked just like Adriana, as Marcie and Gigi looked uncomfortable. Rex didn't seem bothered by the resemblance between Ms. Evil and Adriana. Gigi told Marcie that Rex almost kissed her. Marcie asked if the almost-kiss "meant anything to you." Gigi didn't answer directly, but admitted in her charming, rattled way that she still cares for Rex. "I loved him then. I thought it had died," Gigi confided to her friend. "There's nothing I can do about it. I just have to try to get over it," she added. "I'm just some fling he had 10 years ago." Marcie told Gigi that guys stress out before they get married, and she thought the almost-kiss almost happened for a reason. Rex returned and Marcie left, thereby leaving them alone "to talk." Rex wanted to talk about Shane's father. "Why do you get all weird when I bring the guy up?" Rex asked. He confided that Shane told him he wants to know more about his dad. A flustered Gigi didn't know what to say. "It's not your business, Rex," she mumbled. Rex thought it was because perhaps Shane's father wasn't a hero after all. "It hurts too much," Gigi said as she left the office, barely able to breathe. Shane asked his mother what was wrong. "Nothing," she faked. Shane asked if it was okay to ask one question about his dad. "What was he like?" he asked. Gigi said she cherished every moment she had with him.

In Michigan, Brody pulled Adriana into a wild kiss. Dorian pulled them apart and Brody realized that she wasn't Gigi. Adriana thought Gigi would be thrilled to learn "that you are alive and well." Brody wasn't interested in going to Llanview to be reunited with Gigi and his long-lost son. Adriana showed him the comic book his son had made. Brody said he wasn't a hero. The soldiers who didn't come back, they were the heroes. Adriana sang Gigi's praises. Brody wondered if Gigi "had gotten fat." Dorian reported that Gigi was a stunning young woman. Brody wondered why Gigi wasn't "here herself." "Gigi thinks you are dead," Adriana explained. She said they were there for Shane and began to explain that they wanted to find out about medical benefits. "She needs some backup," Adriana added. Dorian promised Brody to cover all his financial needs if he came to Llanview. That clearly appealed to Brody. "Limo. Private Jet," he requested, his mouth watering.

Jared and Natalie kissed passionately in her office. Jared apologized, but the two started kissing again and he cleared off her desk for further action. Natalie started to undress him. However, Viki knocked on Natalie's door and that ended that. Viki and Charlie worried that something might be wrong, as Natalie didn't respond. She eventually spoke and Jared let Charlie and Viki in, but not before Jared had to wipe the lipstick off his face. Jared tried to explain what they had been doing when they arrived. The busted pair spoke in code. "I've been rethinking my position," she said cryptically. Charlie knew what they were talking about and he went after Jared. "Natalie, what just happened?" Viki asked. Natalie covered and said that Jared was a brilliant deal maker. Charlie told his son that a relationship with Natalie was out of the question. Jared insisted that wasn't true and they would be able to work things out. Natalie didn't want to discuss the Sun article with her mother. "What's the problem?" Viki asked. Natalie shared that she was worried about what Calvin Jenkins "could do to us." Viki agreed to meet with Calvin Jenkins to see if she could help BE. Jared returned to Natalie's office. "I lost my head and now I got it back," she said, avoiding eye contact. Natalie said she was heading home. "Sleep well," she offered. "You too, if you can," he quipped.

Starr ran into her Aunt Viki at the coffee shop. Viki hoped that Todd would get over his anger toward Cole. "Aunt Viki, I don't have six months," Starr declared. Viki looked curious as to what that really meant. Viki reminded Starr that her family should be the most important thing to her. Starr thanked Viki and left. Charlie found Viki and was surprised when she told him she was pretty sure she figured out what had been going on behind locked doors between Jared and Natalie. Viki explained (wrongly) that Natalie was very uncomfortable working around Jared.
