Bratty Cassandra tries to skip town, JR and Adam plot for Fusion, Randi believes Frankie is using her, Amanda and Jake flirt and Joe questions Jake's motives.
Jesse and Angie are enjoying breakfast - and she's explaining why she is now serving light syrup and turkey sausage - when Cassandra walks in and says she has to return to Paris immediately because Jacob is having emergency surgery. Angie offers to go with her but Jesse says Cass can't go. She immediately freaks and says he isn't her father. Jesse tries to explain that she can't go because of the charges, not because he doesn't want her to go. She calls him a control freak and sullenly says Jesse only cares about getting publicity. She rages on and on; Angie steps in and tells her to give Jesse a break but he gives in and calls the DA to see if he will allow Cassandra to leave town with charges pending. When they are alone, Angie turns on Cass, reminding her that he has done nothing to make her feel this way. Cass cries that Jesse doesn't care about her at all. Jesse returns and says he just talked to Jacob and there is no life-threatening surgery, just a routine operation. Angie yells at Cass, who won't admit to any wrong doing. She insists that Jesse hates her, that he would do more for Frankie if he were in her place and runs from the room. Angie focuses on Jesse and says she knows he treats both kids the same way.
Randi places an order for bagels at BJ's just as Frankie walks in. She tries to blow him off but he insists on knowing why she is being so cold. She checks out and doesn't say anything. He pushes and she finally says she'll pay him back for helping her get out from under Fletcher's thumb because she was right about him all along! Frankie tries to get to the truth and Randi tells him to go save his little blond girl. He realizes she saw him hug Taylor at the apartment. She tries to walk away but Frankie grabs her and sets her straight about his friendship with Taylor. He tells her about their time in Iraq and how things were when he returned home. Randi realizes she was wrong and apologizes. She asks to meet Taylor and he agrees. She is about to leave when Fletcher calls to tell Frankie he is almost out of time! Randi sees how tense he is and asks what is wrong. He doesn't tell her.
At the Chandler Mansion, Babe sits down with JR and thanks him again for helping Kathy the day before. Adam interrupts, not happy to find them kissing. When he keeps pushing them, Babe brings up Krystal dumping him. He backs off and Babe leaves for work after advising Adam to have some prunes. When she is gone, Adam brings up the Fusion deal and says Babe will soon be working for him. JR says the company is going to be Babe's free and clear! Adam wants to tell Babe everything but JR insists on keeping the deal quiet. Adam says their biggest problems are going to be Kendall and Greenlee, who don't need any of their cash. JR says they'll come up with another reason for them to sell. Adam says they need someone on the inside - and Babe is just the woman for the job. JR leaves. Adam calls Barry and says they have to proceed with their plans to oust JR - and Babe, Kendall and Greenlee! - from Fusion!
Amanda walks in to Fusion to find a note from Randi about morning snacks. Jake walks in as Amanda is moving a huge bouquet of flowers for Kendall. She pokes her eye accidentally and Jake comes to her rescue. He flirts with her a little bit and she flirts back. He puts a patch on her eye and says she should see an eye doctor. Amanda makes awful pirate noises as she bumps into chairs and desks. Jake brings up his real reason for stopping by - a donation request for Kendall from Doctors Without Borders. He asks how she is doing and Amanda says she is fine but overworked. She tells him about Greenlee's impromptu wedding in Vegas. Babe arrives, ready to get to work and asks what happened to Amanda. She tells her and asks for vacation time. Babe says there is no way she can spare her. Jake leaves but says she can call on him if she feels worse. Babe asks if she really hurt herself. She says she did. Since they are alone, Amanda and Babe talk about their secret project, eager to get something going without Kendall and Greens. They get to work and soon realize that Kendall and Greenlee really dropped the ball in the last week; they spend a lot of time putting out fires. JR arrives as Amanda leaves to create some last minute reports. He tells Babe to imagine herself in the boss's seat. She says she isn't ready for it yet. He says she deserves more than she is getting and asks her to trust him. Amanda returns after nearly hitting a bus bench because her depth perception is ruined. JR teases her about the patch and leaves. Amanda asks Babe if they have time for the secret project now.
At the hospital, Jake is short with Joe. He questions Jake, who clams up. Joe pushes and Jake says he isn't used to checking in and that he just learned that Greenlee eloped and he'll probably have to move. Joe offers to open his old room but Jake turns him down. Jake gets to work but is quickly frustrated and leaves.
