Ryan is napping when Annie awaken him. She is worrying that Emma just might be Tad's child. Perhaps he was her sperm donor? Could that be the reason why Tad's DNA matches Emma's? Emma wakes up and says she was having a dream about her "other mommy."
Annie is upset by this, and after Emma is put back to bed, begins to wonder if her memories about Emma's birth can be trusted. Maybe it is possible that her baby died and Madden gave her Tad and Dixie's daughter? Ryan does his best to convince her not to second-guess herself. While discussing the definition of chimera, they discover the rare medical condition of "chimeraism."
Erica's big night.
Annie is home with Emma. She's worried about the DNA test, but Ryan is there to comfort her—and to baby-sit Spike, since Zach and Kendall are at Erica's party. The sexual tension is thick between them, and it's uncomfortable when she mentions Kendall.
Facing the truth in Pine Valley.
Annie refuses to agree to a DNA test—even when Dixie points out that she could have done one when she had Emma. Dixie's desperate, reminds Tad. Just one test, begs Dixie. Annie's upset and says that she feels like she's losing her mind. Ryan shows Tad and Dixie the door.
Why won't they leave us alone, Annie asks Ryan? She says she won't respond to Dixie or Tad. But she realizes that the look she saw in Dixie's eyes is the same one she had when she thought she'd lose her child.
Dixie tells Tad that she thought she'd be with Kate at the end of this day. He insists that David is evil and that she has to cut him off completely. He tells Dixie that without a DNA test he may never know whether Emma is Kate.
Dixie is distraught over everything that's happened, and especially sorry for the role she played in keeping Tad from his daughter. She pulls Kate's baby cap out of her purse, and offers it to Tad.
Annie and Ryan show up at Tad's front door. She announces she's willing to allow the DNA test—now.
Emma comes home:::
Ryan and Tad burst into David's cabin, looking for Emma. Tad logs onto David's computer, searching for clues. David comes home suddenly, and they demand he tell them where Emma is. He laughs at them.
Dixie is still at the airport, trying to decide whether or not to leave on the private, untraceable charter David arranged.
After she talks with Emma and realizes how much the child loves her mother, Dixie brings Emma back to Annie. Erin and Jonathan are enraged and want to call the cops; Dixie tells Annie that she was "so wrong." Annie sends them away, so that she can talk privately to Dixie, who admits that she considered taking Emma. She tells Annie that after being with Emma and hearing her talk about her Mommy, she realized that she already has a mother who loves her. No matter what any DNA test shows, Emma already has a mommy. She swears that she will never take her from Annie again. At that moment, a shocked Ryan and Tad walk in. Dixie promises to stick to her word, but begs Annie to let them DNA test Emma, so Dixie can know whether or not her daughter has been found.
Tad and Ryan get the news at David's, and Tad assures him he won't let him hurt Dixie. David taunts Tad, and calls him stupid for not believing him. After they leave, he's upset—murmuring that Dixie was "so close" to getting what she wanted.
Josh's first day at Chandler Industries.
There's a stalemate between Annie & Ryan and Tad & Dixie about Emma's whereabouts. Annie is getting agitated, but Dixie insists she knows nothing. Aidan has searched all night, but has come up dry. While they're talking, Dixie takes off. Annie wants to rush off after her; Ryan convinces her to stay at home with Erin and Jonathan.
Tad and Ryan come to Zach and Kendall's, searching for Dixie, but she's at David's, talking with Emma/Kate. Then she turns to David and asks if he has any idea of the chaos he's caused. He tells her there's a private jet waiting for her, along with new identities, ready to take her anywhere she chooses. She doesn't want to leave Tad; David says the only way she can have a future with Kate is to forget about him. From this moment on, it's entirely her choice. And surprise—though he did this for her, he's not coming with her.
Krystal tells Adam the truth.
Tad urges Dixie not to give up home—Ryan and Annie burst in and tell her that Emma is missing. "They've taken my little girl?" says Dixie.
Annie thinks Dixie has stolen Emma, but she denies it. Tad suggests that there's a plot between Ryan, Annie, Erin and Jonathan to spirit Emma away.
Annie swears she'll never give up Emma to anyone.
Emma wanders out of David's guest room, asking if her mommy is there yet.
Dixie has another day in court.
Ryan and Annie beg Dixie and Tad to call off the DNA test, before the hearing begins. Jack is petitioning the court to request a test on behalf of Dixie and Tad. He claims that Dixie was very ill post-delivery, and that Madden took her baby to New York and placed her with Annie. Dixie insists she was conned into giving up her child, and has searched the world looking for her. The DNA test is her only option.
Livia is representing Annie, who angrily insists she gave birth to Emma. Jack gives the judge a copy of the other DNA report. The judge reviews it and sees that it shows that Annie isn't Emma's bio mother. Ryan tries to chime in, but the judge isn't willing to help him.
Annie explains that Emma's father was an anonymous sperm donor, but that she is the mother, and the DNA results must be wrong due to a lab error. Livia calls in a surprise witness, the labor/delivery nurse who was present at Annie's delivery of Emma. She also has a copy of Emma's newborn baby footprints, which match Emma's current footprints.
Tad reminds the judge what a devoted mother Dixie has been, and how she's never stopped looking for Kate. An anguished Annie tells him that Emma's her daughter, and belongs with her.
The judge denies Dixie's petition. As they leave the courthouse, Tad tells her they'll "do what they have to do." When everyone has left his chambers, the judge calls CFS and recommends that they investigate Annie.
Erin and Jonathan are at Annie's home, discussing the case, and how different their lives would have been if they'd had parents as devoted as Annie.
When Annie and Ryan get home to tell everyone the good news and see Emma, they discover that she's gone.
My father or my husband?
Tad confronts Annie and Ryan, presenting the DNA test. He knows she's not a match. If she's not Emma's mother, who is? Annie says she can't explain—but that Emma is her daughter.
Ryan tells Tad that medical records are confidential—how did Tad get Annie's? Tad asks Annie to try to understand what Dixie is going through—looking for a child that was taken from her. He's going to help Dixie find the truth—not matter what it takes.
Tad assures Annie that a DNA test will eventually take place, whether or not Annie wants it. And if she's not Emma's biological mother and also didn't adopt the child, she may not have any legal right to Emma. They're going to leave, says Aidan, but they'll be back. Ryan says that until they get some real proof, they'll get no help from him.
