"The 4th of July picnic was underway in the park. Danielle played teen drama queen and Derek only reminded her she could not see Reggie. Livia tried to reason with her to be more polite to her father. Reggie showed up behind a bundle of balloons so Danielle spilled on herself and left to go clean up. She and Reggie kissed and he said he'd sneak around and she promised to get Derek to change his attitude.
Edmund was on the phone with the FBI, still trying to stop the murder he overheard discussed on the phone. Maria urged him to not be upset by the lack of support and he explained it all to Derek, who agreed to take it on. Edmund wanted to leave immediately and search phone records, but Derek said he was only willing to file a report in the morning. Derek talked to Maria and offered sympathy. She was alone watching the fireworks and remembered watching fireworks with Zach in the past.
Livia explained to Anita that the divorce papers hadn't been filed and no one knows where Bobby is. Anita hadn't heard from him either. They wondered if he was just dragging his feet over the divorce. Anita couldn't help but worry and confided to Maria. Maria said she worries Edmund is focused on this phone call to avoid being with her and she keeps having old memories return. Edmund rolled by and Maria went after him and as they watched the fireworks together, Zach showed up.
Derek finally missed Danielle and was furious to think she was with Reggie. Livia tried to reason with him and to give both kids some credit.
In the hospital lobby, JR made a fuss over Ace and explained he and Babe had been expecting a boy, but had a girl instead. Krystal stared longingly after Kelly and Ace as they left. Tad thought she was having another panic attack.
Babe walked toward David and heard him tell Bianca that Bess needs her mother. Babe seemed stunned and asked Bianca to get her some juice and she asked David for enough time to go home and say goodbye to Bess. JR wheeled Babe out and Krystal begged David to make up his mind about telling. After David left, Tad asked Krystal to explain what was going on and said he knows she's hiding something. He also urged her not to expect paternal affection and interest from David for Babe.
David went home and sat alone, pondering his life and Babe's until Babe showed up to act like a loving daughter. She gushed about his view of the woods and lamented his lack of decorating. They hugged and grew close, until a knock at the door interrupted David's dream. Tad was at the door, suggesting he walk out of Babe's life for good. David accused him of being there about Krystal instead. Tad called David a sperm donor and again warned him to leave them both alone. David said he was going to go visit someone and Tad could follow him.
At Chandler mansion, JR clued Adam in on his plan to drug Babe and watch her throw herself at Jamie and how she'd nearly died. Adam was glad JR had covered his tracks and urged JR to get rid of Babe and Krystal. JR wanted to make sure he would win custody in a divorce battle and Adam promised his support to keep Bess.
In the nursery, Babe said goodbye to Bess and explained Bianca was her real mother and how she would not have survived the infection in the hospital if she'd known her baby was gone. Krystal watched from the door and hugged Babe when she asked why she had to lose two babies.
Downstairs, JR told Babe he had something important to tell her but was interrupted by the arrival of David and Tad. Adam tried to throw them out, but David insisted on giving everyone some big news. Bianca walked in just then and David looked uncomfortable."
