Bye-bye, Babe!

At the hospital, Krystal breaks down when Jeff tells her Babe is gone. She asks Adam and then JR to fix this, to bring Babe back, but neither can do anything. Adam asks for a sedative but Jeff won't give her anything because of the pregnancy. Tad comes over to help Adam with Krystal. "I understand what it means to have your heart ripped out," he tells her. Krystal turns to Adam who holds her close. JR watches them, obviously torn up over Babe's death and struggling over what to do about Krystal's secret. Julia comes to take Krystal away. Jamie goes to JR, asking him to say something - anything! Does he want to see Babe? Jamie asks when JR turns away. JR's wanting to leave angers Josh, who sees it as another betrayal of Babe. Erica tries to calm Josh, asking him to go home with her, Bianca and Kendall. This only makes him more angry as he doesn't believe any of them are upset over Babe's death. "I am done with this whole damn town," he yells and leaves the room. Erica follows him. Across the room, Ryan confronts Kendall about her safety. He believes she is the only target left for the killer. "Ryan, stop trying to scare me, please!" she says. Ryan doesn't give up, he tells Kendall she can stand by Zach but if she does, she better leave Spike with him!

Josh tries to confront JR, but Tad interrupts them. Adam tells JR that Babe is alive but critical and pulls him away. Bianca, Kendall and Zach arrive. Learning Zoe was there soon after the attack, Tad pulls Zoe away to ask question her. Josh goes on the attack, this time against Zach. He could have saved the women - all he had to do was leave town! "If I thought it would have made a difference I would have left," Zach says. But Josh doesn't believe it. Zach should be in that hospital room, not Babe! Zach leaves the waiting area and Josh tells Kendall she has to leave her husband. Erica arrives, thankful Kendall and Bianca are safe. Erica immediately tries to convince Kendall to leave the country - she and Bianca will come with her! Kendall interrupts. She isn't going anywhere. She's staying with Zach!

Jack arrives, along with Ryan and Aidan and Ryan immediately confronts Kendall. What has she done with Spike?

The news stuns Kendall. Across the room, Jack asks Zoe what Babe talked about before the paramedics took her away, but Zoe can't remember anything except Babe wanting little Adam to be protected.

He stays in the back of the room, crying. Di leaves the room, angry that they couldn't catch the killer before he got to Dixie. Aidan takes her in his arms and holds her while she cries. As JR takes Dixie's hand, she appears and her spirit squeezes his shoulder, then moves to Jamie. Her spirit can't find Tad in the hospital. Babe brings JR his mother's bracelet and, crying, he puts it on Dixie's wrist. "I love you, Mama," he says.

Josh takes Kendall for a walk to calm her down. Jack and Derek discuss the suspect list and Zach takes Tad aside, telling him that under the influence he told Josh about Greg's death. Everyone comes to attention when Derek takes a call from Adam - he orders officers to the Chandler mansion immediately. Josh streaks out before Derek can tell him the attack wasn't on Babe.

Somebody's Watching!

Tad tells them Zarf isn't the only suspect and then leads Jeff away to give Jack and Erica time to talk. Alone, Erica begs Jack to tell her everything he knows about Zarf. Does he believe Zarf did it? Derek interrupts; he is convinced Zarf is the killer. Jack disagrees, he doesn't know if Zarf is the Satin Slayer but he will do everything he can to find out.

He is sorry for pretending the gifts were from him and wishes he had sent them because they made her happy. Jack is lonely without her and wants a second chance. Erica is flustered, does he really think it's possible? Jeff returns to the terrace and a saddened Jack says no. He doesn't really believe they can make it back!

Meanwhile, on the terrace Erica shakes off her mood and asks Jeff to dance.

A door closes, a door opens

Babe goes to see Erica and complain about Josh. "I need you to get Josh to leave me the hell alone!"

Erica isn't very willing to be of help and suggests that it's not Josh's fault because Babe is a vixen. Erica has "no sympathy" for Babe, and doesn't believe that Babe really wants Josh to leave her alone. It's the "signals" Babe is sending! Just then, Erica answers her door, and it's Jeff, who sweeps her into a passionate kiss.

Erica sends Jeff away, and Babe questions her about the messages Erica is sending. Erica, as expected, thinks the rules apply to others not to her. "You really ought to be nicer to me," counters Babe. "With very little effort I caould be calling you mom." Erica is horrified at that.

After Babe leaves, Jeff returns to Erica's. Jeff says that they've talked enough, and that it's "time for action."
