Krystal tells him she could gut him with a pool cue for following her there. Adam says he was there first. She doesn't need to be there, he says, as he fired her. He doesn't need her to dig up dirt on Dixie so she can leave. Krysal says she has as much right as he does to be here investigating her. She is taking care of her grandbaby.

He says there are times he wishes he could go back to when he confronted a fork in the road and take another one. He tells JR he's always free to make another choice. He says that can be done by admitting mistakes and forgiving and forgeting. JR asks what if you can't. Stuart says then you can't expect different results.

A man named Willie walks in and tells the bartender he's buying Krystal's drink. Krystal smiles, gets up and walks with him to a table. They met earlier in the day and arranged to meet here tonight. Krystal tells him she was afraid she got stood up. Willie says he's been waiting for her his whole life. Krystal tells him she's writing a romance novel based on a fictional town like Crow Hollow. She is even going to name a character after Willie. She asks him to spill about all the secrets in the town. She's particularly interested in the oldest family in town, the Hunkles. Willie refers to the Hunkle boys, but Krystal says she's more interested in the girls. She asks what happened to the girl born whose birth was not certified. Willie says she's alive and kicking and leading the most amazing life.

Inside the bar, Amanda talks to Aidan about Kirsten, about how she got fixed up that morning then ended up dying like that.

He asks Di to give him just a lead that he can work with. He asks if Kevin Sturges has a part. Di says Kevin is not the main man.

Dani gets out of the shower and reaches for a towel when Garret walks into the bathroom and startles her. She drops the towel and Garret stares at her.

Garret stands on the other side of the door, looking like he is aroused.

JR asks Jamie why he's here with Babe. Jamie tells him to go to hell, both of them and walks out. JR asks Babe what Jamie wanted. She says it was none of his business. He says as executor of Jamie's will it is very much his business. Babe says Jamie came to tell her she was an idiot for treating JR like a human being.

Derek tells Mimi that it looks like a professional takeout on Kirsten. Mimi frets that she let her get away. Derek says this is no way to spend the night before her wedding. He urges her to go home. Mimi says she wants to make sure Julia is all right. Derek says if he comes up with anything he'll call her.

Amanda tells Aidan she might be in danger. She asks if she could stay with him tonight. Aidan says no. She asks if he doesn't care she could get killed. He says she's not the target. Jamie approaches and tells Aidan to back off. He tells Amanda she doesn't need Aidan as she's with him.

Willie tells Krystal that the Hunkle sister is a friend of the president of the United States and has a secret office there and is on a top-secret mission. Krystal tells him he's lying and urges him to tell the truth. Willie says if his stories are exciting she might use them in her book. He says if there was a little girl he never heard about her.

Later, Krystal tells Adam she's trying to dig for more information about Dixie but not having luck. She suggests they give up the idea that she's a Hunkle sibling. Adam says he knows she is and he'll prove it. Their conversation leads to bickering until a bar patron asks them if they want to join the moonshine drinking contest. Krystal says count her in, and Adam agrees as well. They begin drinking shots.
