Asa and Kevin Buchanan are at Chandler Mansion talking to Adam and JR about JRs son. Adam tells them he knows it must be a shock to learn that Ace is really JRs son. Asa asks Adam how he has the guts to claim that Ace is a Chandler. JR says he is his son. Kevin says when Ace is found he will be with him because he has custody. Not if Kevin isnt around, JR says. Asa tells JR to take that threat back. Adam tries to calm the tension by offering everyone scotch. He suggests they settle this in a civilized way. Asa tells them they are not going to steal his great-grandson. Adam says the baby is a Chandler. Asa says Ace is a Buchanan. JR says his name is Adam Chandler III. Kevin says he sympathizes with JR for his son dying. JR says he didnt die. Kevin suggests hes in denial. He says theres no proof for what theyre claiming. They cant prove it because Paul Cramer is dead. JR hints that maybe Kevin had something to do with the murder because he knew the baby was stolen. Kevin asks JR if he thinks he killed Cramer and kidnapped his own son. JR says he doesnt care who killed Cramer. He just wants to get his son. Kevin says he knows JR has a police record, having been arrested for drugging his wife. Adam says that case was dropped. Asa says theres no reason it cant be reopened at the request of the lieutenant governor, Kevin Buchanan. Adam says it will take one DNA test. Asa says there will be no DNA test. Kevin says hell tell the attorney generals office to block any test. Adam says he can call his buddy the governor, who will listen to him. This may have to be tried in the court of public opinion, Adam says. The public will side with JR. JR says Chandlers fight to the death for their children. Kevin tells them to prepare to die.
