Opal finds Palmer and Petey at home. Palmer sings Petey's praises until Opal tells him about Petey's obsession with Colby. Palmer grounds him! Petey runs upstairs. Opal worries that grounding Petey won't stop his romantic inclinations. Petey sneaks back downstairs after Palmer leaves. He watches Opal and then leaves the house. Opal brings out her Tarot cards and does a reading. She gets worried and tries to find Petey but he is gone!
Petey and Palmer are having lunch at the Valley Inn. Pete tells a few jokes and says he wants to stay in town for a while - and not go to Harvard! He says he needs time to find himself. Adam arrives and sides with Pete on the time off plan, upsetting Palmer. Pete and Adam go to the bar while Palmer takes a call. Petey chats up Adam about Chandler Enterprises. Adam says they need to talk about the girl Petey raped at school! "I didn't rape anyone," Pete says. Adam says he did and he'll make sure Pete goes to jail for the imaginary crime - if he doesn't fall in line with his plans! He tells Pete to stay far, far away from Colby.
Down the hall, Opal and Ruth talk about how they'll baby Tad when he comes back to them. Opal notices Palmer sitting alone down the hall and goes to him. They exchange barbs but then Palmer reaches out and takes her hand, letting her know she isn't alone.
Opal calls Erica at the prison to update her on the happenings in Pine Valley. Realizing that Erica sounds very lonely, Opal talks about Spike and Ian for a bit. Later, she meets Palmer at The Valley Inn; he isn't interested in her schemes to get Erica out of jail. Palmer reads an article about Warren Buffet, which gives her an idea. She grabs Palmer's phone, looks up the billionaire's number and then drops the phone in his drink! Opal leaves. "Would somebody get me a real drink?" Palmer hollers! Outside, Opal calls Mr. Buffet and blames Adam for Erica's troubles. He agrees to visit Erica in prison and to talk to the judge about lessening Erica's sentence.
Erica meets Palmer at the Valley Inn. She tells him about her insider trading troubles. Palmer says she shouldn't be surprised that Adam won't help her. He asks about Samuel and Erica swears she is going to take him down! He makes Erica feel better by telling her how strong she is. Palmer leaves. Erica calls Val and asks him to call all of her employees together for a meeting. Next she calls Jack and leaves a message, asking him to help her fight the charges!
Erica is the first to arrive at Adam's surprise wedding shower for Tad and Krystal at the Valley Inn. Adam offers to get her a drink but Erica turns him down and begins looking for Marshall. When Marshall arrives Erica leads him to their table. Colby is next to arrive; Adam asks about Sean but Colby doesn't want to talk about it. Erica sees Adam walk back in, hurries over to him and asks him to rescue her from the horrible date. He agrees and Erica returns to Marshall. Adam calls Barry and begins to create a scene next to Erica's table. He hangs up and tells Erica that their "business deal" is imploding. Marshall is confused and Erica asks if they can postpone their date. He agrees and leaves. "I owe you," Erica says and Adam asks her to marry him again! Palmer walks in and says that will never happen again! They begin arguing. Erica tells Palmer she can handle Adam. "Watch your back," Palmer says and leaves. Erica tells Adam he must have lost his mind. Colby returns as Adam tells Erica that he is turning over a new leaf; Colby explains how Adam planned the surprise reception. Erica wonders what he is really up to. He won't admit to anything. Erica decides to leave but Adam stops her at the door. Krystal, Tad, JR and Babe arrive and Colby leads them inside. Kendall and Zach are close behind. Adam walks in last and offers a toast to the newlyweds! Krystal and Tad are not amused and ask what Adam's real motives are. Krystal stands up to leave. Zach and Kendall wonder why they were invited. Adam follows Krystal and has everyone else locked inside the dining area - so he can get some alone time with Krystal!
At The Comeback, Tad, Opal, Del and Jamie help Krystal and Babe christen the new bar. JR hands Del a mop and tells him to get to work. Derek arrives to check things out. Babe promises not to open until all of the paperwork is complete; Derek tells them not to worry, he is only there to help out! The crew gets to work. Palmer arrives, excited to see the new place. She congratulates Krystal on her new business and on dumping Adam. They pour drinks for everyone and start the party. Amanda arrives to join the party. She pulls Babe across the room but before she can tell her about JR, he arrives and interrupts them! Tad continues to tell Babe and Krystal that they need to have the place checked out. Krystal heads behind the bar, telling stories of her past while Del fixes the beer taps. When Opal suggests they all try some Del-Lightning, Palmer suggests they leave before she gets really frisky! Jamie realizes Tad has gotten quiet and asks what's on his mind. He begins talking about Kate, who would be turning 5 soon, and wonders where to go next. Julia arrives and tells them about Spike's party and Tad heads to the bar to get her a drink. Jamie asks if she is okay and Julia wonders why everyone keeps asking her that! She mentions getting ready for Kathy's 5th birthday party. At the bar, Derek tells Krystal he has always like her and is obviously a little bit tipsy. They begin to flirt a little bit and talk about their failed marriages. Derek leans across the bar and kisses Krystal! Adam arrives and quietly comes inside, not believing his eyes! Babe finally gets back to Amanda, who decides to keep her night with JR quiet!
Inside, Palmer pours a scotch and offers Adam a drink. He drops his bombshell about Krystal selling off all of her jewels. Adam pretends not to care, but when Palmer goes on to tell him that Krystal is going to be rich once the divorce is finalized, Adam gets angry. "She didn't love you. You were just a bank account," Palmer says. Angry, Adam tells Palmer that no one has ever loved Palmer the way that Krystal loved Adam! He tells Palmer to get out. Palmer doesn't leave and asks Adam why he tossed Krystal out when he is still in love with her. Adam doesn't answer and again tells Palmer to leave. He does and Adam is alone. With tears in his eyes, he remembers some of the good times with Krystal. JR arrives, telling Adam that soon he will be a party o one. Adam heads upstairs, JR goes to the parlor. Amanda finds him there and kisses him!
Tad arrives at Krystal's condo, wondering why she called him. Krystal says she needs financial advice - like how to get rid of the jewelry Adam gave her! She wants to sell everything off so she can start new. Tad asks why she needs money, but Krystal won't tell him. Tad offers to help her sell everything off. Krystal pulls out all the jewelry, telling Tad what they all mean. An estate saleswoman, Susan Pritchard, arrives to inventory the goods. Susan gives a price that floors her, cuts the check and then leaves. "This is it!" Krystal exclaims, but still won't tell Tad what she is up to. Tad leaves and meets up with Susan a little later. They talk about the deal. Palmer turns when he hears them and toasts their deal. "Helping Krystal is great," he says, "but sticking it Adam is better!"
At the Pine Valley Hospital, the EMTs wheel Adam in. Joe asks Jamie a few questions and then takes over from the emergency workers. "Is my dad okay?" Colby asks as they all look on, worried about Adam. "Krystal," Adam murmers. Stuart stays with Colby while Babe and Jamie go back out to try to track down where the signal from Amanda's cell phone is coming from. Palmer comes downstairs to ask Joe about Adam. "No heroic efforts. Let the devil take his soul," Palmer exclaims! Joe tells him it's tempting but he has to uphold his doctor's oath. Palmer leaves. Adam wakes and is annoyed to see Joe taking care of him. He demands a "real doctor" but Joe ignores him. In the hall, Stuart talks to Marian about losing Adam. JR's apathy about Adam's condition angers Colby. Marian asks her to be understanding about JR and to not blame herself. Colby returns to JR's side and asks him to support Adam; Joe comes to the hall and Colby shows him the unfilled prescription, believing she is to blame. Joe assures her that she wasn't at fault because Adam had a heart attack, not a stroke. Stuart heads inside to see his brother. "It's going to be okay," Stuart says, apologizing for being angry with him lately.
