Erica says that is too shady and asks what he's going to do about her arrest! She begs him to come to Sam's office and help her explain that they were only talking and not exchanging stock or business information. Adam refuses! As they are arguing, Krystal and Babe haul JR inside. Erica makes a sarcastic comment about Adam's dysfunctional family and then says she'll handle her problems alone. She walks out. Babe angrily tells JR that he should suffer because feeling bad is what he deserves for knocking back a bottle of scotch and sleeping with the hooker!

When Adam agrees with Krystal that though JR didn't drink, he shouldn't try to get back with Babe, JR strikes out at his father.

Adam walks off. JR tells Babe that he had every intention of being Richie's donor and then manages to stand. Krystal helps him up and asks him to stay at the Martin home for the time being.

Babe stays behind and Adam says JR was better off without her in his life. Babe leaves, too and Adam is alone.
Treena, meanwhile, has gone to see Richie at his pseudo-hospital. She says they bought the whole thing and then says she feels sorry for Babe, who was obviously upset at finding JR wit another woman.

Zach brings up the year the Kane's have had and then says Sam must understand that because of losing his wife on 9/11.
