Tad returns to The Comeback and watches his family inside. He can't bear to tell them about Jake but finally goes inside.
Angie arrives, late, to the hospital. Julia tells them both about her job offer in Australia! She is very excited about the prospects there. Joe and Angie try to change her mind but Julia is certain that Australia is where she and Kathy need to be. Over coffee, Angie wishes Julia the best; Julia says she still loves Pine Valley but that there is nothing for her here anymore. Frankie walks in and Julia leaves.
In the waiting area, Julia asks Joe about possible replacements but he is distracted. He admits that a call from Jake is long overdue and he is worried.
Tad and Joe are having lunch at BJ's. Joe asks what is really going on with Tad. He says things are fine but Jesse returning from the dead has him thinking about Dixie. He is also worried about Robert. Joe says Rob is nothing like Ray and could be a good guy but Tad remains wary. Tad changes the subject to the kids and wonders if he'll ever find Kate. Joe reassures him, saying that he is a fine father. Tad realizes that his marriage to Krystal is strong even though it isn't a love-match like his relationship with Dixie. Joe leaves for work. Jesse calls.
Aidan shows up to Jenny's birthday party but Tad sends him away, saying there is a new case he needs to focus on. As he is leaving, Zach arrives. The two men eye one another but don't speak. Annie shows up just as Aidan is about to leave. He apologizes for showing up drunk and for blabbering on about things. He tells her to just forget everything. "Whatever," Annie says. She goes inside and Zach asks what is going on with Aidan. She shrugs off his interest. Krystal calls all the kiddos into the kitchen for ice cream. Opal and Babe are playing with little A. She tells Babe that Richie hasn't been the best houseguest but he isn't the worst either. She warns Babe to be very careful around Richie. Frankie arrives and Colby makes a beeline for him. She flirts and Frankie ignores her. JR and Adam arrive, surprising Babe. She corners JR and asks why he brought Adam; JR says he promised to play nicely. Across the room, Adam gives Krystal a gift: a blanket similar to one he bought for Charlotte! Krystal is touched but feels uncomfortable around him and hurries away. Annie sits down with Zach and tells him about the divorce papers. As they talk, Annie becomes emotional and wonders if tearing it up was the right thing to do. She brings up Greenlee, which leads to Aidan and she chatters on about his being drunk and mumbling about guilty feelings! Zach is intrigued. Annie tells him not to pay attention to Aidan's drunken ramblings because Kendall explained everything and it was very innocent. Just then Julia arrives with Kathy. She makes a beeline for Tad and they go off to find the cupcakes. Joe and Ruth watch them, wondering if he'll ever find Kate. Colby tracks down Frankie and asks why he keeps avoiding her. Calling her a kid, Frankie says he didn't kiss her back. Annoyed, Colby informs Frankie that she is no kid and that she helped deliver Jenny. Near the front door, Jesse is ready to skip out on the party but Angie tells him they can't leave early again. Just then Rob arrives. Tad wants him to leave but Ruth tells him not to overreact. She says Rob shouldn't be blamed for Ray's past sins. Tad agrees to let him stay but warns Rob that once the cake has been eaten he has to go. Rob goes over to Jesse and asks if they can talk about his time in hiding so that he can pass the information along to the movie producers. The cake is served. Tad grabs one piece, hands it to Rob and says he can go now. Rob graciously pretends that Tad isn't being rude. Tad turns to Jesse and wonders why Rob keeps hanging around.
Angie and Jesse return home and Jesse realizes the door is unlocked. He cautiously opens it. "Surprise!" yells Tad, Krystal, Colby, Frankie, Stuart and Joe. Tad explains that this is a welcome back party. Jesse and Angie are stunned. Colby asks Frankie how he is doing but it is obvious from the look on his face that having his dad back means everything to him. Dre arrives and Colby introduces the guys. Then, Robert stops in! Frankie tells Tad he invited him. Tad still doesn't trust him. Rob makes a beeline for Jesse and asks what his plans are. Jesse doesn't have any. Robert says he has been contacted by Hollywood about bringing the Papel investigation to the big screen; Jesse isn't interested. He asks about Robert's plans and he says he just wants to relax. Across the room, Krystal asks Frankie how he is getting along with Colby. Frankie says he misjudged her. Joe tells the group several stories about Jesse and then welcomes him home again. Stuart proposes a toast, too. He brings up Cindy and how Angie helped her. He wishes them the best for their second chance. Frankie is next. He talks about dreaming of seeing Jesse on a beach and how Dream Jesse gave him advice. He says he wants to be the same kind of dad someday and then asks Jesse to come with him to the beach. Colby leads Frankie outside as Tad makes his speech. She tells him goodbye and then plants a hot kiss on him. Before he can react, Colby walks away. Back inside, Krystal realizes that they are partying without Jesse and Angie. The party breaks up.
At the hospital, Babe and JR are stunned when Richie keeps threatening JR. Joe insists it is only the fever and takes them to get gowned up. Babe decides to play Florence Nightingale and bring Richie some soup so JR returns to see him alone. Richie is still woozy. JR says they all - Richie, Babe and him - need to work together or they'll never survive. He brings up Richie's threat and then asks what would happen if anyone found out Richie stole his bone marrow. Richie pretends not to care and eventually goes back to sleep. When he wakes, JR grabs a pillow and says, "You better start explaining, Richie!" Richie calls JR's bluff and JR angrily tells him to tell the truth.
In the hall, Joe assures Babe that Richie has an infection and a cold but that he should recover. She is relieved and thanks Joe. He asks about Tad, commenting that Tad has been unavailable lately. Not wanting to worry him, Babe says he is just busy with cases. Joe says he spoke with Jamie and Jake and they are doing well. Babe walks in to Richie's room as JR is holding the pillow over Richie's face. JR says he was just plumping Richie's pillows. Babe delivers Richie's soup, kisses his forehead and leads JR out of the room. JR looks back as Richie makes a gun with his fingers and pretends to shoot JR! Richie flashes back to the bone marrow transplant and swears that the next time JR won't survive.
In Richie's nightmare, JR says, "You owe me your sad, miserable life!" JR watches Richie intently, which unnerves him. He says JR will never be his conscience. JR begins talking about the marrow transplant, how Richie hit Zach and then locked him and Greenlee in the bomb shelter. Julia hurries inside as Richie's monitors begin beeping. Joe is right behind her. Richie is running a high fever; Joe wonders if he is rejecting the bone marrow transplant. The nightmare continues as Babe walks into his dream - and kisses JR passionately! JR says he has the girl now and Babe says she is tired of being played for a fool. Richie says he really can change but Babe doesn't listen. She walks out and JR says he should just die.
Babe arrives at Richie's hospital room. Joe says Richie may be rejecting the bone marrow. Richie wakes and begs her not to give up on him. He notices JR and threatens to kill him! Joe says it is just the fever talking but JR is still worried. Joe says they need to leave Richie to rest.
