Jack says that he wanted to say a prayer for Greenlee, but nothing came out. Jack says that he knelt on the bank and put his hand in the water and it was so cold that it hurt. Jack says that all he could think was that pain was the last thing that Greenlee felt.

Kendall points out that she never said that Zach should forget about Gabrielle. Zach says that he will always think about Gabrielle.

Zach says that Kendall can either fight it and keep pushing him away or not, but it is her choice.

Krystal says that she has been seeing Amanda and David together a lot lately. Krystal says that yesterday at the hospital, it seemed like there was more to it than Amanda volunteering. Amanda says that David was making it very clear that he doesn’t approve of her moving into the mansion because it might confuse Little Adam. Amanda says that David is wrong about that because JR is all about his son and making his life picture-perfect. Krystal says that it is cleared up and that she has to get back to work.

JR says that they already went down that road right after Babe died. David says that it is about the opening tonight in Babe’s honor. David says that he believes that Babe will be there in spirit and thinks it would mean a lot to Babe if they could show some common decency instead of the usual petty differences and squabbles. David promises to put aside their differences and try to get along for tonight at least. Adam comes in and tells David to take his claws off JR.

Frankie comes in and says that the place looks great. Amanda asks Randi if she can steal Frankie for a second. Randi says that she has banners to hang and says not to keep Frankie for too long.

Aidan says that Ryan has custody of Emma right now and he doesn’t want Emma to get hurt. Annie says that she would never hurt Emma. Aidan tells Annie to look at the way she just acted and says that Ryan isn’t sure that she wouldn’t snap in front of Emma and that is why he wouldn’t let her come yet.

Randi tells Frankie that they should go change and get back there. Frankie and Randi leave.
