Lightning Strike!

Jake and Amanda follow Taylor back to the yacht but she hides. Amanda asks Jake what is going on and he says Taylor confided in him about something hurtful and that she needs a friend. Amanda is struck by his kindness and says she understands. She says she has two strong shoulders to help, too, and kisses him. Jake carries her to her bedroom. Taylor comes out of hiding and sits down heavily.

I've Done Horrible Things!

Taylor is surprised that Jake has been standing there while she was lost in imagination. She stutters and tells him that Amanda will be right back. As she turns the lights back on he asks her if she is alright. She says that she is and they make small talk about the music, the room set up and her foot. Taylor brags to him that Amanda has put a lot of thought into the details of the night. Jake notices her uniform hanging up and wants to know if she wishes that she would have gotten a call to duty instead of Frankie. She informs him that she does and that she would be more than happy to go(…)unlike Frankie. Taylor tells Jake that Frankie made a commitment to serve. Jake stresses that Frankie has already fulfilled his obligation and that he doesn’t have to go back. Taylor recognizes their difference of opinion and changes the topic of conversation. She tells him that she has been all cleared by the doctor and he wants to know why she isn’t on her way back to Iraq yet. Taylor tries to convince Jake that she is perfectly capable of going back and that she is an experienced soldier. She tells him that she doesn’t need to talk to people and that she doesn’t need help. She gets upset and screams that she should have never told him about Brock because now he just looks at her like another head case. He reminds her that he didn’t say that and she tells him that he didn’t have to say it. Amanda arrives, rushes in and kisses Jake. Taylor excuses herself so the two of them can enjoy their date.

Jake and Amanda dance and chat. Amanda notices that his mind is distanced and wants to know what’s wrong. She says that it was intense when she got back from getting the dip and wants to know if that has anything to do with it. She asks him if he has anything for soldier girl and tells him to please tell her now if he does. Jake kisses her and takes her to the couch. Suddenly his pager goes off and he rushes out to the hospital. He grabs his things and promises to make it up to her.

Kendall tells Zach that she really does care and wants to help. Zach reminds her that she has helped enough already. He recaps how this all went down and wants to know if that’s what friends do. Kendall hangs her head and walks away. Ryan fills Greenlee in on all of the things Annie confessed to. Greenlee wasn’t shocked about her using the baby to hold onto Ryan, but she was very concerned about all of the other things. She is worried because Ryan thinks that this is his fault. Ryan tells her that he didn’t give Annie what she needed and that he has a habit of promising forever and not delivering. Greenlee tells him that she didn’t miscarry because of him and neither did Annie! Ryan’s eyes fill with tears as he holds Greenlee’s hands. Jake arrives at the hospital and is informed of what happened by Aidan and Zach.

This is the Way it has to be!

Tad is happy to see his brother sitting at the bar, drinking a beer and relaxing a bit. When Jake confirms that he hasn’t purchased an airline ticket to leave town yet, Tad asks what her name is. Jake tries to play it off but ends up admitting that, yes, there is a woman. Tad begs for details, but Jake keeps it very vague. He tells Tad that she is easy to talk to and very spontaneous. Tad is shocked to hear that his brother has taken dating advise from their father and is sewing his wild oats. Jake tells Tad when he asks, that this is not the army girl. He is surprised that Tad even knows about the army girl. Jake tries to convince Tad that he hardly knows Taylor, but Tad tells him that Jesse made it seem like he knew her very well. Jake tells Tad that the woman is Amanda and is ticked when Tad suggests that she may be a little young for him. Tad makes things right by suggesting that they go on a double date sometime soon. Jesse walks in and Jake takes the opportunity to get up and leave. Tad wonders where Jesse’s date is and he says that she must still be at the hospital.

Taylor finishes the final details around the Boat for Amanda. She lights the candles and imagines her hugging and dancing with a soldier while both of them are in uniform. She is surprised when she turns around and her eyes meet with Jake's.

Moving On and Stepping Back...

Greenlee hears noises from behind the walls and gets nervous. She calls Jake and asks him to come over. Jake arrives and checks things out. He doesn't find anything strange. She says the plant fell; Jake decides it could have been wind, but it would have to be a strong gust to knock over the plant. Greenlee apologizes for calling him and overreacting.

He tells Greenlee there is a problem with Annie; she decides to come along.

At the hospital, Annie begs the doctors to save her baby. Annie says she has had some spotting and cramps. Jake arrives as the other doctor moves Annie to a private room. Ryan tries to follow but Annie tells him to leave her alone. Jake promises to keep Ryan informed; he goes to the waiting room where Greenlee is. They watch a 9/11 report on television and reflect on the problems they are facing now. Ryan brings up Annie and swears he didn't create the bruises she was showing off. Greenlee believes him. He wonders what losing the baby will do to her and worries that Annie won't be able to be there for Emma. Kendall arrives and sees them holding hands. She steps away quickly.

They watch Frankie work for a minute. Jake asks about Jesse's reaction; she says he doesn't know. Jake suggests that Frankie apply for a delayed deployment because of all the upheaval in their lives. Once Frankie finishes with his last patient, Jake asks him to apply for delayed deployment. Frankie refuses, saying he is obligated to serve his country. Angie listens, upset.

First Right of Refusal!

At the cabin, Jake tells Taylor she isn't alone. He asks about Iraq and she tells him she was stationed south of Baghdad with a convoy. Her job was to direct planes and trucks where to go but on one trip, they came to a checkpoint and an old car blasted into their convoy and exploded. "It felt like it went on forever," she says as she describes the fire fight that followed with insurgents. Four of her men were killed in the explosion; she cries and says one man, Brot, grabbed a gun and started to return fire but another mortar shell went off very near him. Frankie, who was also in the fight, was saved but Brot was hurt very badly. She had to go with her men so Frankie focused on Brot. Taylor was grabbed from behind by an insurgent and killed him to save herself. A week later Brot died. "We were going to get married," she cries. He tries to comfort her but Taylor says the only thing that will make her whole is to return to her troops. Amanda arrives to see how Taylor is. She says she is fine and thanks Amanda for taking care of Randi. She leaves. Jake changes clothes and takes a drink.
