Real Name: Cornelius Smith, JR |
Frankie is trying to relax after a hard day at the hospital when Colby finds him in an empty room. He says he wants to be alone but she won't leave until he tells her how to help Adam. Frankie says there is nothing she can do until Adam admits he has a problem. "What's it like when your dad dies?" she asks. Frankie says it isn't as strange has finding your dad alive after 20 years. Frankie says she has to accept that death happens. Colby brings him coffee, calling Frankie a hero and layering on her praise. He tells her to stop because she's just a kid and he's a grown-up professional. She tells him about Adam's demands that she attend Wellesley but says she can't leave Adam now. Frankie is paged away.
JR and Babe arrive at the hospital. They hear him yelling for a "real" doctor when Frankie tries to help. Angie goes inside as Adam is berating Frankie, and tells him to calm down. Angie returns to lead them inside so they can all talk to Adam about his latest episode. JR says Adam is at fault because he didn't follow doctor's orders the first time. Angie cuts in and asks what Adam has been doing lately and Colby chimes in that he has been lounging around in his jammies most days. Angie turns to Adam and asks what is really going on with him. He admits that he thought he was having a heart attack and it's happened before. Angie says he is likely having panic attacks. He angrily says he isn't afraid of anything and then has another attack! Angie medicates Adam and while he is feeling no pain says he has to do something to deal with the stress in his life. Colby goes outside with Frankie, who warns Colby that Adam needs to take the stress diagnosis seriously. Back inside, Adam tells Krystal, JR, Colby and Babe to get out. JR and Colby stay with him but Krystal and Babe leave the room. They commiserate about not being able to leave the Chandler men behind. Back in the hospital room, Colby and JR offer him a deal: if he'll follow doctor's orders to the letter, they will stop being so hot-headed and stressful for him. Angie returns and gives Adam the name of a psychologist who can help him. Adam wads up the paper and tells JR to take him home. Krystal grabs him and begs him to try the psychologist. He runs his fingers along his jaw and then tells JR to drive him home.
Angie is about to leave for work when Jesse distracts her and leads her back to the bedroom. They are sharing breakfast a while later when Frankie comes out of his room and says it is time to find his own place. Angie asks him to stay at home for a while but Frankie won't stay. The conversation turns to work and Jesse jokingly says he is going to relax and let Angie and Frankie bring home the bacon for a while! Frankie says he could go back to the police force and Angie gets upset. Robert stops by, so both Frankie and Angie leave for work. As Jesse cleans up the breakfast things, he tells Rob he looked over the files he had and he believes the real Papel set up Rafael. Rob says that Jesse should look into things a little harder. They brainstorm together and Jesse decides there is only one place that the kidnappers couldn't have looked to find what they want - his grave! Rob doesn't understand until Jesse says that they buried a coffin and there could be a clue inside. Rob says they should go to the cops but Jesse doesn't want anyone else to know. Rob offers to help.
Frankie and Angie are working in the Emergency Ward when a man is brought in after a terrible car accident. Frankie sees all the blood and freezes up; another doctor takes his place. Angie goes to Frankie and they watch as the other doctor works on the man and his wife cries in the background. Frankie says the man on the gurney could have been him! Angie says it wasn't him and he needs to let Iraq go. Frankie brings up Jesse, saying that he can't let Iraq go any more than Jesse can let police work go. She realizes he is right. Just then the EMTs bring in Adam. Upset, Krystal goes straight to Angie and begs her not to let anything happen to Adam!
Angie returns home and is very upset to find that Jesse is busy working on Robert Gardner's Papel file! She angrily asks why he can't forget about Papel. Jesse yells that he doesn't have closure yet. Angie begs him to put the past away and focus on the present and the future. Jesse, though, wants to know why their past was taken from them. Frankie returns home and listens for a second. Then he says he can't let the past go either! Frankie and Jesse tell Angie that they aren't 100% safe until they know what Papel was after for the past 20 years. Angie points out that whatever Papel was looking for is obviously not with them so it shouldn't matter. Frankie and Jesse try to convince her of the danger but she storms out. Frankie brings up his time in Iraq. Upset, Frankie tells Jesse about a young kid he found, beaten on the street. He was so worried about the kid that he didn't check him for weapons and once he was inside the compound the kid killed three soldiers and then committed suicide. Jesse says Frankie has to let it go. Frankie can't forgive himself and begs Jesse not to tell Angie because he is afraid the knowledge would turn Angie against him.
Aidan shows up to Jenny's birthday party but Tad sends him away, saying there is a new case he needs to focus on. As he is leaving, Zach arrives. The two men eye one another but don't speak. Annie shows up just as Aidan is about to leave. He apologizes for showing up drunk and for blabbering on about things. He tells her to just forget everything. "Whatever," Annie says. She goes inside and Zach asks what is going on with Aidan. She shrugs off his interest. Krystal calls all the kiddos into the kitchen for ice cream. Opal and Babe are playing with little A. She tells Babe that Richie hasn't been the best houseguest but he isn't the worst either. She warns Babe to be very careful around Richie. Frankie arrives and Colby makes a beeline for him. She flirts and Frankie ignores her. JR and Adam arrive, surprising Babe. She corners JR and asks why he brought Adam; JR says he promised to play nicely. Across the room, Adam gives Krystal a gift: a blanket similar to one he bought for Charlotte! Krystal is touched but feels uncomfortable around him and hurries away. Annie sits down with Zach and tells him about the divorce papers. As they talk, Annie becomes emotional and wonders if tearing it up was the right thing to do. She brings up Greenlee, which leads to Aidan and she chatters on about his being drunk and mumbling about guilty feelings! Zach is intrigued. Annie tells him not to pay attention to Aidan's drunken ramblings because Kendall explained everything and it was very innocent. Just then Julia arrives with Kathy. She makes a beeline for Tad and they go off to find the cupcakes. Joe and Ruth watch them, wondering if he'll ever find Kate. Colby tracks down Frankie and asks why he keeps avoiding her. Calling her a kid, Frankie says he didn't kiss her back. Annoyed, Colby informs Frankie that she is no kid and that she helped deliver Jenny. Near the front door, Jesse is ready to skip out on the party but Angie tells him they can't leave early again. Just then Rob arrives. Tad wants him to leave but Ruth tells him not to overreact. She says Rob shouldn't be blamed for Ray's past sins. Tad agrees to let him stay but warns Rob that once the cake has been eaten he has to go. Rob goes over to Jesse and asks if they can talk about his time in hiding so that he can pass the information along to the movie producers. The cake is served. Tad grabs one piece, hands it to Rob and says he can go now. Rob graciously pretends that Tad isn't being rude. Tad turns to Jesse and wonders why Rob keeps hanging around.
Angie and Jesse return home and Jesse realizes the door is unlocked. He cautiously opens it. "Surprise!" yells Tad, Krystal, Colby, Frankie, Stuart and Joe. Tad explains that this is a welcome back party. Jesse and Angie are stunned. Colby asks Frankie how he is doing but it is obvious from the look on his face that having his dad back means everything to him. Dre arrives and Colby introduces the guys. Then, Robert stops in! Frankie tells Tad he invited him. Tad still doesn't trust him. Rob makes a beeline for Jesse and asks what his plans are. Jesse doesn't have any. Robert says he has been contacted by Hollywood about bringing the Papel investigation to the big screen; Jesse isn't interested. He asks about Robert's plans and he says he just wants to relax. Across the room, Krystal asks Frankie how he is getting along with Colby. Frankie says he misjudged her. Joe tells the group several stories about Jesse and then welcomes him home again. Stuart proposes a toast, too. He brings up Cindy and how Angie helped her. He wishes them the best for their second chance. Frankie is next. He talks about dreaming of seeing Jesse on a beach and how Dream Jesse gave him advice. He says he wants to be the same kind of dad someday and then asks Jesse to come with him to the beach. Colby leads Frankie outside as Tad makes his speech. She tells him goodbye and then plants a hot kiss on him. Before he can react, Colby walks away. Back inside, Krystal realizes that they are partying without Jesse and Angie. The party breaks up.
Frankie and Colby convince JR that he needs to see a doctor because he still is not feeling well. Once at the hospital, Angie takes over JR's case. Frankie takes Colby aside and asks how she is doing; she says she can't sleep and keeps thinking about what might have happened in the hangar. Colby asks how he is coping. Frankie tells her about his time in Iraq, saying it helped him cope with the danger in the hangar.
In the hospital room, JR tells Angie that he'll be fine one minute and the next can't hold his head up. He tells her about the kidnapping and she wonders why he didn't go to the police; he says they wouldn't have believed him. Angie looks at the wound on his hip and says it has become infected. She sets him up with tests but says things will go faster if he can figure out who took him. JR is resting when a few memories come back to him! Angie returns. JR's fever has spiked and he is rapidly becoming dehydrated. He asks for Babe as Angie calls for help. Frankie and Colby return. Colby is very worried; Angie tells her to call the family.
Babe arrives at the hospital and goes straight to JR's bedside. He holds her hand and says he feels better already. Angie and Frankie return to check his vitals. JR's fever is still very high. Angie shows Frankie the wound and says they need to know who hurt him and what exactly they did very quickly.
