Inside, Josh blasts his father for turning on him. Greg tells Josh that he’s become spiteful and vicious. Josh says he’s siding with Erica over him because of his crush on Erica.

In an upstairs room, Tad has just told Erica that Josh is her son. Erica says Josh is her formal employee and is not like a son to her. Tad says Josh is not like a son, he is her son. Erica asks if it’s a full moon or if someone spiked his punch. She says he’s not making any sense. Tad reminds her that when he’s told her things in the past they have always been true. Erica remembers that he was the one who told her that Miranda was alive. Tad says Josh is her blood son. Erica says she was there both times she gave birth and she had two girls. She asks him what’s wrong with him and tells him to snap out of it. She won’t listen to any more of this. Tad says it’s a fact and he can prove it.

Greg tells Josh that he’s the only one he cares about. Josh says he has a sick fantasy that Erica cares for him. Greg says he wants to see to it that he doesn’t get criminally charged for drugging Erica. Josh asks him how he could do this to him. Greg tells Josh he doesn’t belong here, on TV or around Erica. He needs to leave town. Josh tells Greg he blew his life. Greg says he gave him life and he gave it back to him tonight.

She asks Amanda if she broke out of jail. Amanda tells Janet she had to find her. She wants Janet to get help and she has to come with her. Janet picks up a large wrench and says it’s her job to teach Erica that she can’t hurt her Amanda. Amanda says she’s out of jail because of Erica. She says they all believe that she didn’t drug Erica and think that Josh did it. Amanda says if they get out of here and lay low, no one will have to know that she did all of these bad things. They could even pin them on Josh.

Kendall tells Zach that she knows what he wants to say. That he never meant to hurt her and if she needs time, he’ll still love her and wait for her. Zach says he will. Kendall tells him she doesn’t need to wait for her. She’s done with him and that will never change. She walks over to Ryan and asks him to dance with her. Ryan asks if this is a revenge dance. Kendall says she hates both he and Zach, but she hates Ryan one less dance than Zach.

Janet tells Amanda that all those people who hurt her need to learn and see what a wonderful person she really is. Amanda says they are already on her side now. Janet says they could turn again. She says they are heartless fiends who don’t deserve her forgiveness. She puts the wrench on a pipe and starts turning it. Amanda says there are a lot of innocent people upstairs and calls her mother insane. Janet glares at Amanda and asks her what she said about her.

Babe asks Jamie why he is abandoning his prenup. JR says he freaked out and his dad went all Chandler on him. He realizes he needs to grab onto life or he’ll become bitter. Babe tells him yes, she will marry him. They kiss. Dixie smiles and covers her face with her mask.

After their dance, Ryan tells Kendall that someday she’ll understand why he did what he did. Kendall tells him he should have stayed away when he was pretending to be dead.

He asks Lily for her word that she’ll stay away from Jonathan.

Tad asks Erica if she remembers the termination of her pregnancy and how she felt uncomfortable with Greg. Now she knows why. Erica asks if Greg harvested her eggs while she was under anesthesia and created a child without her knowledge. Tad says Greg is not Josh’s biological father. Erica realizes that Greg has sperm banks all over the place so they would never know who the biological father is. Tad says they do know. It’s his brother, Jeff Martin.

Back at the ball, Adam and Palmer pass each other without speaking. Ethan finds Kendall, who lambasts him for teaming with Ryan to destroy his father and calls him a jerk. She says in case he forgets, she doesn’t forgive quick, and in the case of him and Ryan, it will be never. Ethan says that’s OK as long as she never forgives Zach as well. He says Zach will only hurt her with more lies and more betrayal and it’s good that she’s rid of him.

Simone finds a sullen Zach outside and tells him she knows why he did it. She says it was because of love. She says she hates that Ethan hates him, especially since Zach admitted he doesn’t hate Ethan. Simone says she would fix it if she could but it’s not up to her. She says it’s up to ... Zach walks away without a word. Simone finishes her sentence, saying it’s up to Zach.

Erica tells Tad that this is insanity. Tad says Josh was born seven months after Erica’s abortion appointment. Erica no longer wants to talk about this. She says she has guests downstairs and money to raise. They’ll discuss this later. Tad tells her that he doesn’t think Josh has a clue about who she really is. Erica tells Tad to leave it up to her.

Lily tells Jack that she can’t promise something she won’t keep. She wants to see Jonathan. Jack tells her she can’t make that decision. Lily asks if he’s saying that because she has autism spectrum disorder. Jack says yes. Lily tells him that he has lied to her.

She says he’s in love and he has to deal with it. Adam says he would rather deal with her. She conned her way into their family and pretended to be Dixie. Now she has ruined JR’s life. Dixie is listening around the corner and appears aghast at what she’s hearing.

Babe tells JR she has two surprises. The first is a kiss. The second is an envelope she hands him. She tells him this is her prenup. JR thinks she’s joking but Babe says this is for real. She says if it doesn’t work out for them, joint custody is the way they have to go.
