Birthday Party Fun!

Krystal is shocked that JR has lost Tad and everyone worries where he could be - and if he'll miss his entire party. Erica asks Aidan where Tad may have gone but he doesn't have a clue. As they all discuss Tad's whereabouts, he sneaks into the bar without anyone noticing. He orders a drink from Wes, who begins to laugh. Zach and Kendall arrive and Tad finally steps up from his perch in one of the booths, announcing his arrival. And the birthday fun begins! Babe starts up a few games, first up is Guess The Year - based on Tad's different haircuts! Opal and Ruth win the game and a few rounds of free beer! Julia walks in and greets Jonathan and Ava. She asks about Jamie and Jonathan makes a quick exit. Babe sees her and they talk about Jamie a little. Meanwhile Zach and Erica are showing the crowd pictures of Ian and Spike. Opal brings up Cochlear Implants, making Kendall uncomfortable. Jack arrives at the party, interrupting a hot kiss between Jonathan and Ava. He apologizes for getting her involved in the drug bust but she could care less; Ava believes the bust made her career and thanks him! They all go inside and Aidan distracts Jack with questions about Greenlee. Seeing the tension between Jack and Erica from across the room, Tad asks Erica what the deal is now. She tells him about the new talk show, which is hilarious for Tad. Jack interrupts as Erica asks Tad for a kiss. Tad leaves. Babe and Josh are talking about Greenlee, both wondering where she is; Aidan and Amanda are taking advantage of a few free drinks at the bar. She asks him about Di and he changes the subject to poker, hoping to get a game going. Krystal gets a few birthday tributes going and the crowds talks Tad's greatest hits. JR introduces an email tribute from Jamie in Africa. Krystal takes centerstage with a song. Tad looks around at the room full of friends as Krystal begins to sing "Our Love Is Here To Stay". Kendall talks to Babe and Amanda about Fusion and Ava butts right in with her two cents. Kendall basically tells her to get lost. Ruth walks up and asks about Ian and Spike, excited about the prognosis for both boys. Kendall cuts her off when she brings up Cochlear Implants, saying she has another doctor in mind. Meanwhile at the birthday-boy's table Joe, Opal and a newly arrived Ruth are regaling Julia with stories of Tad's past. Sean and Colby listen in and she learns that Tad and Liza used to be an item. She can't believe it and asks Tad what really happened. Colby asks about Tad's other lovers but Tad clams up. He tells Colby he is much happier not being Tad-the-Cad. Kendall goes to Zach, tells him she has to leave to express some milk for Ian. He says he'll go to but Kendall tells him to stay behind with the boys and the poker game and gets Julia to drive her. Julia and Kendall leave. From outside, Greenlee watches the party go on. She starts to go inside, hesitates but finally decides to go inside. Aidan catches her on the way in and accidentally hits her ribs. Inside the party is beginning to break up. Tad joins Krystal at the bar and they talk about Jenny for a bit. Tad kisses Krystal and it turns passionate. She pulls away and neither knows what to think about it. They go their separate ways.

Happy Birthday, Tad!

Outside The Comeback, Ava suggests a quick trip to New York to hit some of the hotspots. Jonathan turns her down, telling her it's time for a night out of the spotlight. She reluctantly agrees. Opal, Ruth and Joe are helping Krystal and the others finish up the decorations for Tad's surprise party. Wes, a new bartender, arrives and Krystal introduces him around. Babe offers to give Wes the grand tour. Meanwhile, Amanda and Colby wonder if Tad is prepared for the night ahead. Krystal isn't sure but is fairly confident that JR will get Tad there on time. She sees Jonathan and Ava and invites them to join in the party. They agree. Krystal stuns Ava by thanking her for the publicity that surrounded The Kiss, but warns Ava that she doesn't want any publicity tonight! Amanda can't believe Ava has been invited and warns her to keep her distance! Babe interrupts them, telling them to get over themselves, then she takes Jonathan and Amanda to finish up some decorating. Colby walks over and thanks Ava for helping to get Sean cleared of the drug charges. Ava shrugs off her actions. Josh walks in and talks to Joe about the family, still unsure of how to react to the big Martin clan. They find common ground in talking about Jamie. Joe hugs him. Ruth is creating Tad's favorite breakfast with Krystal - cereal and candy bars! "His dentist must be a rich man," Krystal says. Opal and Krystal talk about old times and karaoke nights from the past. She thanks Opal and Ruth for raising Tad the way they did.

Erica arrives at the party, hoping she hasn't missed the surprise. Tad isn't there yet. They see someone coming, hit the lights and hide. JR comes in - alone! Everyone wonders where Tad could be.

Moving Day!

Angry, Amanda goes off on Ava for the kiss. Ava doesn't want to hear it, telling Amanda that she is the smart one in the situation. Tad and JR pass by, wondering what the argument is about but not stopping. Inside, Tad and JR tell Krystal and Colby that Jamie is on his way to Africa. He asks Krystal about the rest of the party and she shrugs it off. Colby and JR want details, too, but Krystal isn't talking. JR does a quick Internet search and finds out! He heads outside to see the girls, telling them he wants a seat for the next show! Amanda turns her anger on him while Ava laughs. Amanda tells him to bug off so they can talk. He leaves. Ava believes her trick paid off - because she has people talking again. "You think this is all real?" Amanda asks, telling Ava that no one is really interested in her yet and if she keeps it up she'll burn out before she even hits celebrity status. Ava doesn't believe her. Telling Amanda that she is in control and she has the power, Ava tells her handler that she doesn't need anyone telling her what to do or how to do it. Amanda thinks Ava is fooling herself. When Ava suggests that Amanda is simply jealous of her, Amanda packs up her things and leaves, telling Ava that she isn't going to be her handler any more!

Tad tells Colby all about Jamie's Africa trip, obviously proud of his son but already missing him. JR returns, telling Tad that Ava may have done a brilliant thing by kissing Amanda. Krystal, Colby and Tad tell him he's wrong. Tad leaves. At the bar, Krystal wonders what they can do to cheer Tad up. As they talk Krystal gets a bright idea - to throw him a huge surprise birthday party tomorrow!

All The Angst In The World

Colby and Krystal talk about Ava at The Comeback. When Krystal defends Ava Colby is surprised, especially because of the way Ava is reacting to all the attention. Krystal isn't worried, certain that Ava will come back down to earth really soon. Greenlee arrives, tells Krystal to take her keys and keep the drinks coming. She then instructs Colby to call her a cab when she can't remember her name. Kyle delivers the first drink and Krystal thinks twice about what Greenlee obviously has up her sleeve. She just wants to drink, though, and tells Krystal why - that Spike is deaf and it's her fault! Greenlee starts to drink. When she finishes that one, Greens asks for another but Krystal shuts her down. As she goes off on a tangent about wanting another drink, another patron takes notice of her. Krystal doesn't give in and serves Greens water. The patron, Wheeler, introduces himself to Greenlee. He offers her a ride home after a tequila and beer chaser. She takes his offer. They begin to drink together and he invites her back to his place! Greens head to the bar and orders another drink from Kyle; he reluctantly begins to pour but before she can drink, Aidan walks in! He tells her she has had enough but Greenlee doesn't think so. She chugs the drink and turns back to Wheeler!

Across the room at her table, Ava meets with a shady manager who promises everything from a movie career to her name up in lights. Ava signs with him! She makes fun of The Comeback and the fact that she once worked there as the manager plays up to her. Colby listens in from another table, and when Ava begins to downplay JR's part in the ordeal she steps in, calling Ava a liar! When Ava makes like she is the only one with problems Colby bursts her bubble by telling her the kind of hell the Lavery's - including Jonathan - are going through with Spike.
