Scott takes her to go see the gatehouse. As they start to leave, they run into Marissa as she arrives. Madison exits to wait for Scott and give him a moment with Marissa. Marissa asks Scott if Madison is the reason he's been dodging her calls.

Tad and Dixie arrive at ConFusion and sit at their table with candles and sparkling cider. Dixie pours them a drink and they toast to their first date this time around. Tad laughs again at her outfit and says he can't get over it. Tad tells her he's interested in more than just a date. Dixie is too but wants to take it slow. Dixie talks about getting hot in the chicken suit and Tad laughs at her. Dixie says she has to take off the suit so Tad helps her take it off. Tad can't take it off as the zipper is stuck.

David and Cara go walking in the park. David offers to take her to dinner. Cara says she has to do something. Cara states that she could be a dying woman. Cara shows David a trouble doll and explains that each one represents her troubles. Cara shows him one that represents cancer. David reminds her it only might be cancer. Cara points out another one that is for missing her brother and another that represents not having a living situation. Cara shows him the last one is for family and the children she probably will never have. Cara tells David it's his turn. David tells her that he doesn't have any troubles and his life is perfect. Jake and Amanda walk up with Trevor and Jake calls it a blatant lie because David has at least a dozen troubles.

Cara's phone rings and it's the hospital. Cara wonders if her results are in.

Amanda rejoins Jake and Trevor and sits down. Trevor goes to play as Jake and Amanda talk. Jake says he can't believe that Cara hasn't seen through David yet. Amanda calls Cara lucky since she can at least have a baby. Amanda says she's sorry but Jake tells her that he understands if she's angry. Amanda says she's lucky because she has Jake and Trevor. Jake knows it's not easy to remember it. Amanda wants no more pity. Jake tells her to just talk to him. Amanda thinks every symptom of early menopause is a reminder that she can't have any more kids. Jake thinks they can still have the big family they always dreamed of.

Cara finishes her phone call with the hospital and tells David that it wasn't her test results. Cara asks David to lie down with her on the ground and look at the clouds.

JR says he will never stop because Marissa won't let him see his son. JR tells Marissa that her worst idea was trying to fight him. Marissa exits and JR asks what is wrong with Colby.

Dixie brings up that it's Opal and Krystal's house too. Tad tells her that Opal will be thrilled. Tad then informs Dixie that Krystal is moving out. Dixie says she's sorry to hear that.
