At the bar, JR is giving Wes a lesson on good champagne. Wes could care less and orders a couple of beers. JR asks for the bill and Del gives him the total (almost $500). He pays. Del tells Wes to watch out for JR because he always goes home with the sexy girls! Del delivers Wes's beers and he turns to go back to the table. He calls JR "Junior" and tells him to lighten up. JR turns to Ava's table, curious about how she is doing with Jonathan. He listens in as Jonathan tells Ava that working with JR is a huge mistake. Jonathan warns her that JR will mess things up; Ava tells him that JR's name carries a lot of weight. She kisses him and then sees JR watching them. Ava leads Jonathan out of ConFusion. At the bar, JR reminds himself that Ava is business - not pleasure!
Ava and Jonathan return to Wildwind and make love.
Babe walks in to Wildwind and overhears JR and Ava. Annoyed, she barges in. JR takes a call and leaves. Babe goes straight to Ava and tells her to get away from JR and stay away from him! She angrily reminds Ava that she can't enter into a contract with anyone - not even JR - without Fusion's consent. She goes outside next and tells JR to back off! He explains his new idea, saying it's a bonanza for Fusion and Ava because it will be a beauty network surrounding Ava. Babe doesn't buy it. From the door, Ava is listening in, hoping to get a lowdown on JR's plan. JR goes on about helping Ava get back on her feet, stopping the crazy tabloid-grabbing activities. Ava can't believe what she is hearing. Babe doesn't believe him for a second and orders JR to come clean or she'll go straight to Kendall and Greenlee. JR convinces Babe to keep the idea under wraps, promising that he won't do anything without her approval first. JR goes inside to find Ava is really impressed with how he convinced Babe. "So how long will breaking my contract with Fusion take?" she asks. JR tells her to get the cash to start the business from Jonathan - fast - or it will never happen!
We’re at Wildwind and JR is having it out with Ava and Jonathan. He’s being typical JR-cocky and Jonathan’s having none of it, kicking JR out on his tush. But Ava stops JR from leaving the grounds at the last moment, asking for some alone time with Jonathan first. Jonathan makes it clear – he wants Ava to have nothing to do with JR. “Trust me to handle this,” Ava says. He tells her to be careful with JR. “Piece of cake,” she says, and calls JR back in to the room. Jonathan leaves. JR starts trying to tell her that his offer has been rescinded, but Ava doesn’t believe it. Has JR met his match?
At Fusion, Babe’s getting decked out all in sexy black. Amanda guesses that Babe’s got a date. Babe admits that she’s going out with Wes, which she tries to pass off as nothing serious, but admits that he’s cute. Girly squeals erupt as Kendall enters. Hugs all around. “Fusion’s really Fusion again!” Amanda says, thrilled to have Kendall back. Kendall tells them that Ian should be coming home soon and when catching them up on the latest news, lets them know that Annie won’t be in anytime soon. Di shows up, having been asked by Kendall to come for a staff meeting. She tells them that the meeting will be about Greenlee. “I will not let Fusion be torn apart, so I’ve called a cease-fire,” she explains. The girls are shocked, skeptical, and none-too-happy. Kendall assures them that things will work out fine and that she and Greenlee will never be friends again. The girls show Kendall the newest tabloid on Ava. They’re unhappy, but when Babe and Amanda suggest that they drop Ava, Kendall and Di want nothing to hear about it. Greenlee enters and overhears the conversation, then steps in. “Ava is Fusion Green,” she says. “She stays.”
Back at Fusion, things are a bit uncomfortable with Greenlee’s presence. Brrr! The girls are super-cold to Greenlee, but they try to keep it about business, still bantering about whether Ava should stay or go. The girls are split and the ultimate decision falls to Kendall and Greenlee. Oddly, they agree. Ava stays. Kendall tells Babe that she’s got to be the one in charge of Ava from now on and Babe is incredulous. “I thought I was doing a good job here, and now you want me to be Ava’s babysitter?!” The crowd disperses, leaving Kendall and Greenlee alone. Greenlee, seeing an opportunity, whips out a few gifts for Kendall’s boys. Kendall asks to be alone. She sits at her desk with the stuffed animal Greenlee gave her, looks at it wistfully, and tosses it in the trash.
Back at Wildwind, Ava and JR are still facing off, Ava giving JR a run for his money in arrogance. JR tells Ava that Jonathan refused his business idea. JR tries to backdoor things, asking Ava, “Don’t you think Jonathan owes you?” Ava catches on and tells JR that she knows he’s the one who planted the tabloid story about Jonathan. JR cops to it, but brushes right past it. He tells Ava that she’s going to benefit from his idea, leading her to believe that she’s going to be bigger than Paris and Nicole. She’s buying into it, and JR really gets going. He’s speaking Ava’s language now, and all that talk of money and fame must be getting her hot because she plants a long, slow kiss on him. They part, and, flustered, JR asks Ava if she’s in. “You want me to cheat,” she says, “And I’m not going to do it!” Now it’s Ava’s turn to laugh, telling JR that the kiss was just like her kiss with Amanda, it meant nothing. She tells JR that she won’t cheat on Fusion. But JR pushes hard, saying Babe will do everything he wants. Oops! Babe’s at the door and overheard him. Not cool for JR who’s about to find out exactly what Babe will and won’t agree to.
Julia, Jonathan and Kathy are making Ava comfortable on the sofa. Julia and Kathy leave for school. When they leave, Ava throws a pity-party, believing her career is over because of the surgery and the tiny incision the docs had to make to save her life. "You need to suck it up!" Jonathan says. She brings up JR, saying he knows exactly what she needs. This makes Jonathan angry and he says JR is only looking out for his own needs. Ava could care less, as long as her face is the face JR is exploiting - and the face making the money! - she'll do anything. Jonathan changes the subject to her pregnancy fears and swears that he'll take care of the protection from then on. Ava takes that badly, thinking that he doesn't trust her to take the pill (even though she just admitted that she doesn't always remember them). She wonders if he doesn't want kids or if he doesn't want kids with her. Jonathan swears that he'll never have kids because of his past. "It's bad enough I'm Ryan's crazy brother. I won't be some kid's crazy father," he says. Ava tells Jonathan not to worry about his past because he isn't that guy any longer. Jonathan, though, can't forget what he did and insists that he won't father a child. JR arrives, shows them the latest tabloid headline - which shows Ava and Jonathan in a hot embrace with the headline "Beauty and the Beast". He says he is no longer interested in working with Ava!
Ava passes out and Lily freaks. Joe tells her if they don't get Ava into surgery, she will die! Since Lily is her closest relative, Joe says Lily can authorize the surgery. Ava wakes and tells Lily not to give the go ahead. Joe tells her exactly what could happen without surgery; JR says the same thing, but not as nicely. Lily begs Ava to sign the forms and get the surgery. She hesitates and JR says he'll just go with another model - who isn't dead! - to fulfill his business plans. Annoyed, Joe interrupts them as they talk business and tells Ava surgery is now or never. Jonathan arrives and Ava asks for his advice. He asks Joe about the different options but there are none. He promises to be with her through the whole thing and then gives her the forms to sign. She can't because of the pain but tells Lily to go ahead and do it. The orderlies wheel her up to surgery. When Ava is out of earshot, Jonathan confronts JR about why he is there at all. JR defends himself, saying he ran in to Ava at Fusion. Jonathan tells him to leave. In the hall, JR is hounded by a slew of paparazzi. Joe orders them all away. JR catches up with them, points out Jonathan and makes sure all the photographers know exactly who he is. They already do and are planning to do a big reveal once interest has peaked. JR warns the photographer not to wait and tells him that one of the Chandler companies will beat them to the punch. Then, he gives them another tidbit of info - that Jonathan was once married to Lily - Ava's lookalike sister.
Ava is nearly falling over from the pain. JR thinks she's just putting on a show and turns to go. She orders him to stick around - or she'll tell everyone that she is pregnant and the baby is his! JR carries her in to the hospital, moaning and groaning and screaming in pain. Julia meets them and asks Ava to explain the pains. She leaves to set up a room as Dr. Joe arrives. Ava describes the pain, swearing she isn't on any kind of drugs. JR throws out the pregnancy possibility. Joe wheels her off to another room as JR realizes that Ava isn't faking the symptoms. After examining her Joe says Ava isn't pregnant - she has appendicitis and needs an operation right now. She doesn't want an operation and starts to freak out. JR listens from the door and tells Ava to stop fighting the doctors! She won't back off. Joe leads Julia out so they can conference, leaving JR to reason with Ava. He actually gets through to her, saying she'll die if she doesn't have the surgery. He brings up his plans for her and all the money involved, making her forget about the pain for a bit. Another screaming pain doubles her over but Ava still won't agree to surgery. Lily walks in, upset. Ava tries to convince her sister than things aren't that bad. Julia pulls JR out of the room as Lily begins running down what could happen to Ava without surgery. Ava explains that when she was a kid she had a bad fall and had to go to the hospital for stitches. Her mother basically dropped her off and left her with the nurses - alone! "I won't leave you with strangers," Lily says and holds Ava's hand. Another screaming pain comes and Ava loses consciousness. Joe and Julia come in, followed by JR, as Lily freaks out.
