Lightning Strike!

Jake and Amanda arrive at Fusion and are about to go inside when they see Petey lying on the ground!

In the hospital, Petey dreams that Colby has declared her love for him. Adam tries to come between them but Petey dons a superhero outfit and destroys his enemy! He wakes, sees Colby beside him and says, "You love me." Colby is nonplussed. Opal walks in, hysterical, and grabs her son. Jake and Amanda walk in and tell him how lucky he is to be alive. Jake looks over Petey again. Colby notices a large burn on his chest; Jake says it will be fine in a day or two. He and Amanda leave. Opal starts in on Petey, asking where he was and why he left the house. Petey cuts her off and says he needs to talk to Colby alone. She leaves. Petey starts talking about old science projects and the aftereffects of lightning strikes, weirding out Colby. He insists that he is a changed man because of the strike and removes his glasses. "Look at me," he says and makes Colby smile. She turns to go and he asks her to stay. Colby says he seems more confident since the strike and leaves. Adam arrives and tries to intimidate Petey but his confidence makes Petey talk back to Adam, telling him that everything is taken care of. Opal returns and says Adam won't get away with whatever he is trying! She grabs him and leads him away.

Jake and Amanda arrive at BJ's for dinner. They see Taylor with the platoon but go to a table alone. Jake watches as Taylor drops her glass; he follows her from the room. He catches up to her in the back and she grabs him, saying she has to go back because that is the only way she'll be close to 'him'. She runs off.

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. Jake sees her movie choice and teases her. Greenlee asks about Amanda. Jake says they are drama free and having fun. He asks about Aidan and she says things are perfect - except for their fight. Jake asks if they fought about Ryan and she says it was about a broken wedding present. Ryan calls and tells Jake something is wrong with Annie. Jake agrees to meet him at the hospital. He tells Greenlee there is a problem with Annie; she decides to come along.
