Adam tells the truth about Kathy/Kate, Krystal and JR react badly to the news, Kendall and Zach worry about Greenlee, Aidan and Greenlee have it out.
Tad opens his eyes and stares at Adam. Krystal rushes in, sees he is awake and runs for the waiting room. She tells the family Tad is awake; Joe, Jake and Angie rush to his room. Babe tells JR she'll watch Kathy and he goes as well. Kathy notices Opal crying and asks what is wrong. Opal says she is just thankful. Back in his room, Tad asks Adam if it is true and he says yes. Jake and Jesse want Adam out of the room but Krystal stops them. Kathy gets away from Babe and comes in. Krystal places her on the bed so she can see Tad. Joe notices Tad is tired and asks everyone to leave so they can check him over. JR tries to pull Adam away but Tad asks him to stay, worrying Krystal even more. Joe and Angie stay for a while but soon Tad asks them to leave to. When he is alone with Adam, Adam says Kathy really is Kate. Tad wants proof.
In the hall, Ruth and Opal talk about Tad while Aidan questions Jake. Jake believes Tad is out of the woods. Jesse is happy about that. JR, with Babe, wonders why Tad asked to see Adam. Babe doesn't know. Krystal comes out of his room and goes straight to Kathy, who is sitting alone in a chair. She hugs Kathy.
Krystal returns to Tad's room and shows him the adoption certificate. He is stunned and asks where Adam found it. Adam says it was in the mansion but swears he doesn't know how it got there. Opal, Ruth, Joe, JR and Jake return. All are worried because Tad has suddenly gone pale. Adam offers to go but Tad tells him to stay and tell the family the good news. He hesitates and then says, "I found Kate." The family is stunned. Adam tells them that Kathy is Kate. Krystal brings up Adam's "deal" - that he'd give Tad Kate if Krystal would come back to him! - from several months back. He admits he has known for months. JR and Jake angrily confront Adam but Joe calms everyone down. Adam leaves. Krystal follows him, so do Opal, Ruth and Jake. JR stays with Tad and Joe. He asks what he should do now. Tad wants to talk to Julia. Joe, sadly, tells him about Julia's death. He is stunned. JR brings up Kathy, saying this is going to be great news for her; Tad says finding a father won't make it easier to lose a mother.
Jesse and Angie return to the waiting room, where Kathy is still coloring. Angie continues blaming herself, believing that Julia would still be alive if it wasn't for her wedding. They watch Opal, Ruth, Jake and Krystal follow Adam into the room. Ruth takes Kathy outside as Babe looks on curiously. Opal lights into Adam, accusing him of all sorts of things - primarily of trying to hurt Tad. Babe is stunned to learn Kathy is Kate. Adam defends himself and leaves. Krystal follows and asks why he did it. Adam says it was the right thing to do! JR walks in, angry, and tells off Adam. "We're done!" he exclaims, saying Adam waited too long to bring the truth about Kate to light. Adam defends himself, saying he was afraid of losing JR in the process. JR calls Tad his father and sadly walks away.
Opal brings Kathy to see Tad.
At the Slater's, Annie and Greenlee are outside the circle celebrating Spike's birthday, watching Kendall. Josh takes family pictures and invites Annie over but she stays with Greenlee. She watches as Ryan takes one last "family" photo. Josh notices her worried look and asks how she is doing since Julia's death. Ruth calls to tell him about Tad. Josh decides to stay with Kendall and the boys to give Tad a little space. Greenlee grabs her phone and calls Aidan. She tells him about Tad but Aidan already knows. He asks if he can see her so she leaves the party. Kendall and Zach talk about Tad, which leads to Aidan and the Greenlee mess. Kendall wonders if Greens and Aidan will make it but Zach doesn't know. Ryan, free of Greenlee, focuses on Annie. She blames her distraction on Emma's illness but he knows she is really upset about Julia. Annie tells him how bereft she feels because of Julia's death. Kendall asks Ryan to read Spike a story so he leaves Annie to focus on the kiddo. Annie leaves. Ryan stays with Kendall and Zach for a while, saying it is easier to be with them than to fumble around Annie. Kendall says it gets easier; Ryan keeps wasting time. Finally, Zach playfully tells him to get out. Ryan leaves. Kendall and Zach sit together, worried for their friends - especially Greens.
Greenlee and Aidan meet at the penthouse. Greenlee angrily asks how he felt when he was making love with Kendall; Aidan says he wasn't thinking or feeling anything - not even Kendall! That makes Greens more angry. Frustrated, Aidan accuses Greenlee of destroying their relationship because she likes to be miserable. She is stunned. He goes on, saying she has been trying to sabotage them since they got together - first by turning down his many proposals, then by focusing on Ryan's needs and finally by announcing she didn't want kids. Greenlee grabs her engagement ring and gives it back to him. She walks out, refusing to listen any more. Alone, Aidan packs up his things and leaves.
Ryan goes to the beach. He is sitting alone when Greenlee finds him.
