On the terrace at The Comeback, Ava tells Amanda she isn't doing a good enough job of "handling" Ava - because she isn't being mentioned in any of the tabloids. Amanda could care less about Ava making it into a magazine and tries to concentrate on the next Fusion shoot but Ava goes right back to talking about how she can get into a tabloid. A waitress arrives with drinks, Ava wants alcohol but Amanda won't let her have any because she's underage. She gets angry when Ava keeps going on about her own "problems" instead of concentrating on Fusion and the campaign. Ava grabs a shot of tequila off a passing waiter's tray and downs it! Ava heads inside to dance. She grabs a guy she remembers from the photo shoot; he could care less. Ava pushes it and he walks away, telling her he won't be wasting any more film on her unless she's dancing naked on the tables! She takes him literally and begins to undress. Just as she is stepping on to a table, Krystal pulls her down and tells her to keep her clothes on. She goes back to dancing with the rest of the crowd. At the bar, Tad gives Aidan a new P.I. project to keep him busy. Ava notices the photographer taking quick shots of his friends and becomes annoyed because he won't pay any attention to her. Amanda tries to get Ava to leave but she won't. Instead, she grabs Amanda and kisses her! Cameras begin flashing all over the bar!
At Fusion, JR watches Amanda and Babe run ragged trying to keep up with the sales calls for Fusion Green. Seeing him, Amanda goes to talk to him and asks him to stick around for Babe. He asks Babe is little A can go on an overnighter on his new yacht with JR and Amanda. Babe isn't sure because little A has been sleepwalking. JR makes a joke about little A sleeping in a life jacket, which annoys Babe. She settles on a day trip - as long as little A is home for dinner! Ava's new manager, Andy Conway, arrives to announce Ava's arrival - she walks in glammed to the nines and posing with every step. "Is that Paris Hilton or a pole dancer?" Amanda mumbles. Babe and JR are equally stunned by her appearance and her manager, who has supposedly gotten her several movie auditions - they are really porn roles! He tells Babe that Ava being the face of Fusion is too limiting; Babe takes offense. He shows her the contract, which Babe immediately tears into pieces! Angry, Ava lashes out at Babe, who tells Amanda to deal with Ava. Andy tells Ava she can't tear up his contract but when Babe shows him the contract Ava already signed with Fusion he realizes he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Ava tries to stop Amanda from escorting Andy out but he leaves anyway. Ava can't believe it but Babe doesn't take any grief from her - she tells Ava that she has two choices: stick with Fusion and possibly become a real star or follow Andy and wind up in the gutter! She manages to calm Ava down by showing her some "success stories" from Andy's stable of girls - none of them are the kind of successes that Ava envisioned. Babe explains that she needs a friend and a manager and suggests Amanda for the role. Neither Ava nor Amanda like the idea but she - and JR! - talk them into it. Ava leaves; Amanda asks JR to walk her out. At the elevator JR asks Amanda about Ava's contract but she doesn't know much. Amanda leaves.
Jonathan and Ava arrive at the yacht club. A few photographers follow them in and Ava plays up to them. She becomes slightly annoyed when she sees JR and Amanda arrive and the photographers begin paying more attention to him! JR sends the photogs on their way and they return to Ava, who plays up to them once more. She turns to JR and asks how he likes to be famous. A photographer follows her and asks for a joint photo. He declines, but Amanda encourages him to do it, after all Ava's 15 minutes will be over soon. Ava wonders what that means and Amanda tells her she'll figure it out. The photographer begins shooting the two of them; Amanda rolls her eyes. Ava returns to her dinner with Jonathan and thanks him for putting up with all the madness surrounding her. Jonathan doesn't say anything about the way she makes herself ultra-available to the press. They kiss. When their meal is served Ava asks Jonathan if she should get a manager. He becomes worried when she tells him she spent her entire first paycheck on the outfit she is currently wearing. Ava asks him about Spike and Ryan, apologizing for focusing on herself rather than his family problems. Jonathan likes the distraction that Ava offers, however, and tells her so.
Across the room, JR can't concentrate on Amanda because of Ava. Annoyed, she reminds him that before he helped out Ava he managed to lose his entire fortune trying to get back at his father. Ava and Jonathan kissing across the room takes his attention again. When JR goes on about Ava and how the press keeps sticking them together because of the drug bust, Amanda gets even more annoyed. Amanda decides it's time for The Relationship talk but JR balks. She asks about dating other people, making JR wonder if she wants to get back together with Jonathan. Amanda sets him straight about her friendship with Jonathan. She leans across the table, giving him another option for their relationship. They both start laughing. They get up to leave and JR realizes Jonathan has gone. Seeing Ava practicing her autograph he makes a smart comment; Amanda pulls him out of the club.
Jack takes over from Derek with the media, asking them to back off so the police can take care of things. Behind the media line, Jonathan asks Amanda about her relationship with JR. Upset and worried about him, Amanda wonders why he didn't just walk away. Tad arrives and heads straight to Jack, along with Babe, Krystal, Colby and Sean. Jack blames JR for the situation. Derek tells Tad about Ava helping with a drug bust and also blames JR for getting involved. Annoyed, Tad tells them they should never have chosen a public beach to do a drug sting. Krystal asks Colby to leave but she won't budge. Babe asks Tad how things really are and he admits he doesn’t know. Sean asks Jack if this is part of the way they are going to clear him and Jack admits it is. Bereft, Jonathan asks Amanda what he'll do if Ava doesn't make it out alive. Jack and Derek have a private confab, hoping that JR and Ava will make something happen that will save the day. Talking to Krystal, Babe worries that JR won't make it out okay. She is worried, not only because he is in danger but also because he has been acting like two different people for a long time. Spotting Amanda, Babe goes to talk with her, reassuring Amanda that she will be okay. Adam shows up and asks Jack to let him through. Derek and Jack pull the tape so he can pass and Adam immediately goes on the attack wondering how many of his family members are on drugs. Jack outs Adam as the source behind Sean's arrest and he turns to Tad, blaming him for the whole situation! Derek goes after Adam and Jack pulls him back as Adam continues arguing with Tad. He becomes even more angry, then has a sharp pain and nearly falls over! Colby rushes to his side.
Derek hangs up from talking to Lenny. Tad asks for details; Jack and Derek ask him to just be calm. Lily arrives, very worried about Ava, whom she saw on the news. Jonathan talks to her, telling Lily that Ava was part of a sting operation. When Colby tries to play nursemaid, Adam angrily tells her to back off. Krystal steps in and tells Adam that he needs to see a doctor - and leave his daughter alone. Adam won't listen. Krystal opens a bottle of water and offers it to him. Finally, Adam opens up a little because of his worry over JR. Amanda and Jonathan begin arguing about JR - again! Telling Jonathan that she still thinks Ava is trouble Amanda tells Jonathan that she may also be good for him! Sean and Colby talk to Lily about Ava's actions to help the police, extremely proud of what Ava did and hoping she'll get out okay. Babe returns to Amanda, who admits she is really scared for JR. Babe reaches out to her. In tears, Amanda tells Babe that she has her moments when she wants to hurt JR but mostly she has fun with him and cares about him. The crowd hears a gunshot from inside the shack!
Derek pulls everyone back from the shack as Lenny walks out of the shack, pushing Ava ahead of him! JR is right behind and holds up the gun, telling them the situation is over! Police officers rush to take Lenny into custody as the Chandler and Martin crew head straight to JR. Ava immediately begins posing for the cameras until Jonathan pulls her back and hugs her tightly. Jack tells her Lily is there. Ava turns to see Lily holding out her arms. The girls hug!
Derek gets through to Lenny, who demands a plane. Amanda vents on JR, telling him that he is the reason Ava has been taken hostage. JR doesn't believe her, saying no one could trust Ava to be part of a drug sting. Amanda asks him to leave with her. JR turns and sees Jonathan who tells him he'll be in big trouble is Ava is hurt! Derek gets back with Lenny and manages to talk to Ava who tells him to do whatever Lenny wants. Angry, Jonathan confronts Derek. Jack sets him straight and Jonathan walks away. JR approaches them and asks them to let him help. Derek refuses and orders him off the beach. Jack and Derek realize the media has just arrived but neither answers their questions. JR goes back to Amanda. Noticing that he is acting really weird Amanda tries to distract him but JR takes off running toward the shack! He gets inside but that only angers Lenny even more. JR and Ava begin arguing immediately; JR tries to concentrate on Lenny and offers him a way out of the mess. Derek calls Lenny back, telling him that JR went in on his own. He tells Lenny they just need a little more time to come up with the plane and Lenny hangs up. JR promises to get him out, reminding him that the cops won't supply him with a plane. JR suggests that Lenny sneak out the back while he talks to the cops through the door. He even offers Lenny money but Lenny doesn't like the idea. Outside an officer tells Derek that they heard through a boom microphone that JR is now a hostage too!
JR and Amanda meet up at the yacht club. Seeing his happy mood, Amanda thinks he has found the ransom money and gets set to start spending. JR bursts her bubble, telling her the money is still missing. Annoyed Amanda asks what the all-fired hurry was to get her there and he shows her a picture of a yacht. Thinking he bought a yacht, Amanda gets mad. JR sets her straight - he didn't buy the yacht, he is yacht-sitting for a friend. He asks Amanda to help him christen the ship right then. She agrees and they set off for the docks.
On the beach Ava tries to finish the deal but Lenny won't exchange any money until he searches for the wire. Worried, Jack tells Derek they need to pull Ava out but Derek convinces him to let Ava do her thing. Back on the beach, Ava plays up to Lenny, calms him down and he pulls out the drugs! Before they can complete the transaction JR and Amanda interrupt them. JR realizes he knows Lenny from the old days and Amanda wonders what Ava is doing there. Ava tries to get them to leave but JR and Amanda won't go. Listening, Jack tells Derek they need to intervene. Back on the beach JR outs Ava as the one who set up Sean with a drug bust. Lenny gets worried. Amanda tries to pull JR away, realizing that they've obviously interrupted something but JR won't leave. Lenny grabs Ava as Derek orders the cops to move in. Lenny finds the wire as Derek and the cops round a corner. JR and Amanda move away, Lenny hauls Ava behind some driftwood as Derek tries to get him to make a deal. Just then Jonathan walks up! Jack holds him back as JR tries to calm Lenny down. The dealer waves a gun, still holding on to Ava. He backs away, taking Ava to a shack on the beach. Inside, Lenny talks to the cops through the microphone, telling them to call him on Ava's cellphone!
