At the trial Bianca Montgomery testifies that she feels Babe should be awarded full custody of her son. After closing arguments, Judge Turner calls a recess and informs the court that she will have a decision when they return.

During the recess, Adam Chandler tells Riley Colson to arrest Kelly for helping Paul Cramer kidnap Ace, but the DA tells Adam to go to hell. Adam threatens to pull all his financial support, but Daniel reminds him that the custody decision is in the judge's hands.

Babe tells Kevin and Kelly she can give them Ace. If she gets custody, she explains, she will make sure that her son gets to spend time with both of them. JR overhears and vows "No way in hell!" Kevin and JR argue; after JR storms off Babe apologizes, but Kelly understands that Babe once loved her ex-husband. Kelly and Kevin exchange meaningful glances. When court resumes, everyone waits anxiously for the decision.

At the gym, John reads about Cristian Vega in the newspaper and remembers his promise to keep Cris' identity secret. Antonio arrives and wants to know what John is hiding from him as Evangeline watches on. Antonio tells John he's worried because he can't find Jessica, but declines any help and leaves to look for her. Evangeline approaches John and wants to know why he's not helping Antonio, and he makes excuses.

While Natalie is at Llanfair with Starr and Jack, a yawning Jessica arrives home and sneaks upstairs to her bedroom unseen. She removes her heavy makeup and sexy clothes and crawls into bed with a smile on her face. Antonio arrives, urgently searching for Jessica, who dreams about drinking and flirting in a bar. When Antonio wakes her and asks where she's been, she looks confused and doesn't feel well. She says she feels hung over even though she didn't drink the night before. When he steps out to make her some tea, she picks up several pieces of paper off the floor. She puts them together and is looking at them with a horrified expression when Antonio walks back in.

Natalie has a heart-to-heart talk to Starr, who is taking her fear out on her brother Jack.

Bo, an injured Viki and Dorian return to Mrs. Bigelow's cabin. Dorian balks at treating Viki. Bo tells them that he doesn't see how Todd could have survived the blast. He calls for a forensics team and an ambulance for Viki while Dorian treats her, then returns to the cabin. Dorian and Viki argue bitterly when Dorian says that Todd got what he deserves.

Dorian calls David to tell him that Todd is dead and as a result, it will be far harder to find Blair. David isn't convinced that Todd is dead. A worried Dorian asks him to stay on the phone with her. Bo returns and shows Viki what he found at the explosion site: Todd's wedding ring.

Blair dreams that she is rescued by her mother, who tells her that Todd is gone. In her dream, Addie shows her a vision of her own funeral - and Todd's. Blair then sees a vision of an 18-year old pregnant Starr and a delinquent teenager Jack. Blair realizes that she needs to live for the sake of her children. She wakes up resolving to get back to them.

Evangeline realizes she left some important work places at John's place and is amazed when he gives her his keys. Van realizes she has misinterpreted the gesture when he tells her to return them next time they hook up.

Dorian and Viki arrive back at Llanfair and tell Starr about the explosion. While Starr cries, Natalie quietly leaves. Starr insists to Viki and Dorian that her dad is still alive, and Viki tells her they are all praying for that. In the snowy woods, an injured Todd struggles, and then loses consciousness.

In the wake of the custody hearing, J.R. Chandler shows up at the Buchanan mansion to take Ace/Adam Chandler III home to Pine Valley. As he confronts Kevin, the other Buchanan men enter the room to offer their support. Asa warns J.R. that the fight for custody is not over, but Kevin insists that it is. Duke also has words with J.R. and demands that he let the Buchanans say good-bye to the baby. J.R. says they can have fifteen minutes and goes outside to wait with the authorities. Nigel, Asa, Bo and Matthew take turns bidding farewell to Ace. Duke tells the boy that he will one day appreciate having Kevin as a father for the first year of his life, and then he prepares to leave Kevin and Ace alone. Kevin insists that Duke stay. As his older son looks on, Kevin bids a final, tearful good-bye to Ace. He tells the infant that he wanted nothing more than to protect him and hopes one day he will understand.

Meanwhile, Kelly and David have stopped at Llanfair where they encounter Starr. Starr updates them on Todd and asks about the custody hearing outcome. She vows that the family will have a huge celebration once Todd and Blair return home. Bo and Matthew show up at Llanfair, and Starr later confides to Matthew that she is afraid her father might really be dead. Matthew reminds her that she said Todd was indestructible, and Starr looks hopeful once again.

Bo gives Dorian and Viki an update on Blair. They deduce that the car that nearly ran them off the road when they were searching for Blair was probably Margaret's. Dorian cannot believe they were so close to her missing niece. Bo asks if either Dorian or Viki can remember anything at all about the vehicle. The ladies get into a verbal sparring match, but Viki is able to offer a solid description of the car. Bo phones the description into headquarters and demands that every available unit be on the lookout for the vehicle. David tries to calm an emotional Dorian, and Viki joins Kelly by the fire. Kelly fears that Kevin will never forgive her for perjuring herself on the stand, but Viki tells her that Kevin is already starting the process of making peace with the situation.

In order to make peace, Kevin has decided to go to the lodge for a couple of days. While driving there in a minor snow storm, he discovers a body that has just rolled down a snowy embankment and landed at the side of the road. Kevin stops his car and runs to the man's aid; he is shocked to discover it's Todd, alive but weak after the explosion at the cabin.

Blair continues to make muffled cries for help from within the trunk. Two hooligans arrive in the parking garage and proceed to steal parts off of the car. Because of their racket, they are unable to hear Blair. When a parking garage attendant approaches in the elevator, the thieves run off. The attendant discovers the vandalized car and phones his supervisor, who tells him to have the car towed. Blair hears the attendant say that by this time tomorrow the car will be flat as a pancake, and she begins her muffled screaming once again.

Antonio sees the latest note that Jessica's stalker left in her bedroom; it is in the shape of a heart and reads 'Jessica and Antonio Forever,' with the 'forever' visibly crossed out and replaced with 'never.' Jessica can remember nothing but coming home and going straight to bed, so Antonio concludes that the stalker must have actually been in the room with her. He demands that she move out of Llanfair immediately. Jessica reminds him of all the turmoil her family is facing and insists that she can't move out. She then breaks into tears and asks Antonio how he can still care so much for her after she accused him of Tico's murder. Antonio comforts her, reassuring that his love never wavered.

After Michael wonders how long it'll take John to screw up his relationship with Evangeline since all of their family members do the same, the talk becomes more serious. He's positive that he knows what Marcie wants and he's just not it. He can't be and do all of the things that she wants. At the same time Marcie talks to Jen as Jen packs up to move in with Riley.

She will not give up hope and she knows the adults found themselves in similar situations in the past.

As a cynical Natalie tries to drown her sorrows at Rodi's, Evangeline attempts to comfort her, even offering John as someone that Nat can lean on. If she were to lean on John, she'd want more than friendship, Natalie admits. She hastens to add that she said IF, and she certainly would never do that. Evangeline insists that she's no longer feeling threatened and really wants Nat and John to be friends. They have a lot in common and they've helped each other in the past.

Accusing Daniel of deceit, he swears that he didn't mean what he said at all. When Riley happens upon them and learns that his father is still trying to accuse Jen of murder, he loses his temper and orders Daniel to stay away from him.

An awkward Michael and Marcie run into each other but depart before saying what's on their minds.

Blair continues to hear the men talking about converting the car to scrap metal and fails in her attempt to attract their attention with the flashlight through the hole she spots from the trunk. She begins to panic when the flashlight goes out. Kevin miraculously spots Todd lying face down in the snow and manages to get him up and to his car. He's unable to place a call on his phone. It wouldn't be Todd and Kevin if they first didn't blame each other for their current situations in life. Todd is adamant about searching for Blair before they head back to Llanview.

Rex drops in on Jen and gives her a housewarming gift. He points out that he's matured since his time in jail and reminds her that he'll always be around for her. Jen walks him out when a suspicious Riley gets home and hides a gift of his own. Digging down into a larger box to hide it, he comes across a letter addressed to Jen. It's from Rex and it's a thank you for the money she gave him.

Evangeline returns John's key. Bo promises Nat that he'll have Cris' memorial plaque put back in place. She laments that she'll never fall in love again and hopes that Cris' love was enough to last a lifetime. He assures her that she'll meet the right person, just as Evangeline told her earlier.
