Brad and Katie go home. He keeps worrying and promises to watch her forever. Nothing means anything to him next to her and the baby.
Brad shows up at Jack's and tells him they need to get Liberty out of Paul's immediately. Jack doesn't think they should go over there. Brad doesn't want her to be 'a baby-making machine for whack jobs'. Janet explains her plan to raise the baby with Jack. "Are you out of your minds?" Brad asks. He points out the way this will tangle things up for everyone. Jack can't listen to them arguing anymore and tells them to leave. When they do, Jack sadly looks through some old pictures of Holden. Faith suddenly runs in and tells him about the fight at the house. He runs out, telling her to lock the door.
Brad and Janet go to the diner to argue. He still refuses to back up her plan to raise the child. As he walks out, she chases after him.
Brad goes to Metro and tells Teri that her sister wants to adopt the baby. He's afraid that Janet is going to cause some serious damage. He asks her to be there for Liberty but she thinks she should stay out of this. Janet comes in and begins asking her sister whose side she is on now. Janet repeats that her daughter is ready for this and will get over her fear. Teri doubts that. They wonder if Janet wants to keep the child so Liberty will never be able to leave her. Janet asks to speak to her sister alone. Brad walks away. "Maybe this really is just all about you," Teri suggests. Janet insists that isn't the case. Teri still worries that forcing this on Liberty could just alienate her.
Brad goes to see Jack again. Jack doesn't want to talk. He finally realized tonight that Holden is really gone. "I don't know what I'm going to do without him," he says.
At home, Katie and Brad are looking through baby catalogs. He worries about how Liberty would be able to afford all of this stuff. He still thinks she should have ended the pregnancy like she'd planned. Janet comes in and excitedly tells them that everything has been taken care of – they've found a couple to adopt the baby. Brad doesn't know why she thinks this is such a great idea. He's irate when she tells him that Liberty is meeting with the couple today, alone. Janet reminds him that they all have to work together on this. After she leaves, Katie tells Brady that he needs to respect his daughter's decision, whatever it is. He wants to check out the prospective parents.
At the clinic, Parker tries to reassure Liberty and remind her of her choices. She worries about the couple liking her. Jack and Janet arrive. Liberty isn't happy to see them after they'd promised to stay away. Brad and Katie come in next and arguments erupt. Paul and Emily come in, though they're reluctant to since it sounds like a hockey game in there. When it becomes obvious that they are the adoptive couple, Jack blurts out, "No way in hell!" As the lawyer comes in, everyone gangs up against Paul and Emily and reminds them of all of their past crimes. Liberty shakes her head. The lawyer has heard enough and leaves. Liberty and Parker go next. The three couples bicker. Paul accuses them of being too judgmental and reminds them that they are far from perfect. Katie thinks they've all done a great job turning Liberty off to the idea of adoption. She tells them they owe their daughter an apology.
Katie and Brad go home. He's glad the adoption fell through and insists that this is all Janet's doing. He only wishes that he had taken his daughter to the clinic himself.
Brad wants Katie to go with him to talk to Janet into letting Liberty have an abortion. Katie admits she doesn't feel the same way as him. Brad reminds Katie that Liberty is seventeen, but she says it is difficult for her to imagine a woman having an abortion when she has a miracle baby. Brad points out their situations are different. He leaves for the studio, but Katie is still torn.
Janet meets Brad at the studio and tells him Katie is on her side and that she is trying to talk Liberty out of the abortion. Brad is angry that Janet used his wife to do her dirty work.
