At the Chancellor Estate, Jill and Cane discussed Katherine. He noted that if Jill truly hated Kay, it wouldn't matter to her whether they were related or not. Jill argued that it's complicated. He asked if Jill will turn on him if the DNA tests say that he's not her son. Jill assured Cane that he's hers, no matter what. Still, she was sure that the results would come out in his favor. Meanwhile, Lily apologized to Nina for lashing out at her. She and Nina agreed to a truce, regardless of what the DNA test said. Nina then got a call that the results were in.

While with Jack at the G.C.A.C., Mary Jane suddenly zoned out. She explained that she was having a difficult day. Jack admitted that he couldn't get his mind off of a comatose Summer. He didn't have time to talk, though, because he was meeting with Sharon — to MJ's chagrin. After, Mary Jane thought back to her time in Genoa City; how Victor first brought her to town, how Paul suspected that he knew her, how Jack was surprised that she knew there was a portrait of John in the Abbott study. She then pulled out an invitation from Jack's wedding to ... Patty Williams! She wished Jack a happy anniversary.

At the hospital, Phyllis and Nick pleaded with Summer to open her eyes, while Victor called in a specialist from another city. He was willing to fly in a jet to get the doctor there as soon as possible. Nikki joined Phyllis and Nick and urged her granddaughter to wake up so she could see the Fourth of July fireworks. Phyllis blamed herself, stating that God was punishing her for everything she's done in her life. Nick reminded her that it was just an accident. After, Nick went to the chapel. Victor found him there; Nick broke down about Summer and about Jack being the father of Sharon's unborn child. Victor assured him that things would turn around and encouraged him not to give up hope. Nick then became emotional in front of Jack. Jack reminded him how strong Summer is.

Sharon tried to comfort Noah about Summer. She then told him that her baby is Jack's and admitted that she doesn't know what's going to happen with her and Nick. Noah was sympathetic. He joined Phyllis and Nick in Summer's room and also tried to get his sister to open her eyes.

Paul met with Heather at Crimson Lights. She informed him that an "anonymous source" (really MJ) believed that Summer's condition might not be an accident. Paul found it hard to believe that Phyllis would purposely hurt her child.

Murphy tended to Kay when she came home from the hospital. Nina then joined them with the DNA test results. Cane and Jill were confident that the results would prove he's her son. Lily found them at the coffeehouse and told them the results are in. Jill was eager to get it over with. And the results indeed stated that Cane is Jill's son. Cane requested that Jill be nice to Kay today; given her good mood, Jill agreed. Cane planned to take the Chancellor name. Alone, he called Langley and informed him that he took care of the "problem." Nina, however, still wasn't convinced and suspected that Cane got to the test somehow or got someone at the lab to switch it. Nina was determined to find out what happened to Phillip III's body.

MJ continued to sit in a daze and stare at the invite. There was a knock at the door. She was certain that it was Jack coming to wish her a happy anniversary, but it was Paul. He began to question her about Phyllis, but she shut the door in his face. After, she frantically downed some pills and dissolved into tears, then crawled into bed and snuggled with her kitty. "Make it stop," she pleaded.

Jack was eager to have a nursery built in the Abbott home, but Sharon told him that she's not ready to move back in. Jack didn't take this too well. "I've been pretty understanding with your ambivalence," he said. "Maybe you could cut me a little slack on my enthusiasm. I missed out on being any part of my own children's lives. I lived with that for a long time. I've just been given another chance. I'm gonna be there for our daughter. Hey, I'm pretty good with other people's kids. Maybe I could actually be a good dad to my own." Sharon replied that she wanted to do it on her own, but assured Jack that he'd be a part of their daughter's life.

Mary Jane flashed back to her life as a young Patty (when Kitty was still alive). In the fantasy she was dressed in a creepy, puffy bridal gown with a veil that covered her entire face. She recalled how she'd caught Jack having sex in his office with another woman (only in the fantasy all of the events took place outside in a garden) and miscarried their baby — and how she'd shot him. In the dream, she begged for her brother Paul to come and help her, then sank down on the ground and cried. Victor approached Patty in the fantasy and told her that he can make her the kind of woman who Jack would fall in love with. Sharon then appeared and taunted that Jack would never be hers. MJ awakened and vowed that Jack was going to love her, no matter what.

At the hospital, Nikki asked Paul why Heather was hanging around. Paul wondered if Nikki thought Phyllis could've hurt Summer on purpose. Nikki was horrified at the idea and insisted that Phyllis wouldn't have done that. Later, Heather had Detective Wallace take Phyllis into custody for child endangerment. A stunned Phyllis cried and insisted that she didn't purposely give her daughter peanuts. Nick and Victor planned to have Michael handle the case.

Cane and Lily looked forward to celebrating his life as a Chancellor. Meanwhile, Jill noted to Kay that in a way, the results made them family after all. Kay furiously replied that Jill practically left her for dead the day before and she didn't need family like that.... Nina went to Phillip's grave and sadly feared that she's never going to get any answers about him. Paul then arrived and told Nina that something was indeed wrong with Cane's blood test.
