Barbara tells them both to leave Dusty alone and walks away. Emily thanks Susan for being on her side; Susan says she isn't on Emily's side!
Barbara gets her trunk show ready at Fashions. Josie arrives and says she no longer wants one of Barbara's dresses as payment for her work. She asks for a job! Barbara says she has cut down on her business and apologizes; she says Josie was a good worker, though. She thinks about it and says she will take Josie on a part-time basis. Josie is thrilled. They are talking about her duties when Lily arrives with Ethan. She tells Barbara about Lucinda's new diagnosis; Babs is stunned. Lily says she wants something frilly and beautiful for Lucinda after the surgery. Barbara goes to a rack and Josie offers to take Ethan for ice cream. Barbara introduces Josie and Lily and she agrees to the ice cream date. Josie takes Ethan outside and sings him a song. Dusty hears her and sits down, stunned. Lily comes out and takes Ethan home. Dusty approaches Josie and says he heard her singing. He says that is the same song that Jennifer sang to Johnny. "This is getting too weird," she says. Dusty says they need to talk and Josie says she'll meet him at The Lakeview in a few minutes.
Meg and Paul get to Al's and Meg orders nearly the entire menu; he teases her about eating for two. Paul sees Barbara with Josie and becomes upset. Meg sees them, too, and says Barbara can handle things. Paul goes outside and brings Barbara in. She says she hired Josie, who is very talented. Paul is sarcastic about Josie's memory loss and skills and says it isn't okay for her to try to take Jennifer's place. He says it is unhealthy for Josie to be around Babs! She says Josie is a nice girl who has good instincts. The more she talks the more Paul thinks something is up with Josie. She says Paul should understand Josie's instincts since he has special gifts, too. Barbara leaves. Paul can't drop the Josie subject but Meg says Barbara is handling herself. She suggests that he give Josie a break; he says she thought the same thing about Sofie! They eat and she reminds him that nu-Paul would give Josie a break; he says he'll try.
Dusty takes Josie to Fashions to pick out some new clothes. She doesn't want to be indebted to him but he insists she buy some things. Emily calls and he leaves. Barbara arrives and gets angry at Josie. Josie starts talking about the clothes and obviously knows something about fashion design; Barbara is impressed. One of Barbara's employees calls with a problem and she quickly leaves.
Josie follows Barbara to The Lakeview and offers to help her with the work crisis. Barbara isn't sure what to think but allows Josie to come inside. Josie finishes one gown and Barbara is pleased with her work. Josie compliments a dress and Babs says it was one of Jennifer's designs. Josie asks about Jennifer and Barbara says she misses her; Josie apologizes for bringing up bad memories. Josie sees the picture of Hal on a table, brings it to Barbara and asks about him. "Hal was the love of my life," Barbara says. Josie says he looks like a sensitive cop; Barbara says that is the perfect description. Dusty walks in and Barbara tells him Josie is helping her. He leaves. Barbara thanks Josie for her help and offers to pay her. Josie says she doesn't need money and Barbara realizes she is late to get back to Fashions. Josie says she'll wait with the clothes and Barbara offers her a dress as payment. She leaves. Josie picks out Jennifer's dress.
Dusty meets Barbara in the lounge and says he hasn't found Johnny – yet. He says he hasn't given up. She tells him about a New York business trip and then he tells her a little about Josie. They go into the lounge to wait for Josie but Dusty is called away. Barbara saves their table, worried about Dusty's new woman. Barbara is waiting alone when Josie walks in and feels a spark of recognition. Barbara says she doesn't know her but Josie rambles on about how familiar she seems. Barbara doesn't like her. Dusty walks back in and introduces the women. Barbara drags Dusty into the hall and demands answers. She calls Josie a crazy person and Dusty says she reminds him of Jennifer! He tells her about first meeting Josie and shows Babs the drawings. She says Dusty is grasping at straws. Upset, she says she won't relive Jennifer's life or death and tells him to leave her alone. As they argue, Paul and Meg arrive. They argue and turn on Dusty; Josie comes out. Dusty tells them all to be quiet because this wasn't Josie's idea! He says they both want the same thing: answers! He asks them to give Josie a chance but Paul and Babs say they can't. Barbara walks away. Dusty says Babs deserves to know the truth about Jennifer – and Josie! He leaves. Paul apologizes to Meg for the drama and his angry outburst. She asks about their dinner plans! "The least you could do is buy me a sandwich!" she says.
Paul races to James' side; he can't believe that James finally called him 'son'. "I was wrong," James croaks and loses consciousness! Paul grabs him and shakes him, begging James to tell him what he did all of this for. "Don't you die without telling me!" Paul yells but James doesn't respond. Barbara runs up with two EMT's and tells Paul to let James go. The medics are unable to get a pulse; Barbara pulls Paul away and asks about Meg. Meg comes out of the lighthouse with Dusty, shocking Babs. Meg goes to Paul, tells him how much she loves him and thanks him for finding them. An EMT takes her to the ambulance so she can be checked out at the hospital. Paul stands over James' body. James' ghost tells Paul that a real Stenbeck would have killed Dusty, not let him leave with his wife. He disappears. The EMT's take James away.
Jack and Paul arrive at the police station where Dallas shows Paul Dusty's death certificate. Paul says it is wrong but Dallas and Jack say it isn't. Paul gets angry and throws the papers at Dallas; he arrests Paul! Barbara arrives and asks to see him. Paul tells her Dusty is alive and won't listen when she tells him to calm down. She returns to Jack and begs him to take it easy on Paul because James is causing all of this drama.
She convinces Jack to have Paul checked out so they have him transferred to the hospital. A doctor says Paul needs rest. Barbara begs Jack to keep investigating and he agrees.
At Fairwinds, Barbara tries to calm Paul down but can't. She tries to get him to take a sleeping pill but he won't. Eventually, though, he falls asleep on the couch. He has a vision of Meg on a beach somewhere; her image leads him to a home on the beach but he trips climbing the steps. Paul wakes up. Babs returns and asks what he is doing; Paul tells her about the vision.
