Eric has a surprise for Marcus, Donna confides in Katie and Jackie asks Owen for forgiveness.
Donna looks at a profile of Justin online when Marcus and Katie come in. She quickly hides what she’s looking at as Katie asks where Eric is. Marcus goes on about how great Eric has been to him and calls him a father figure.
At her loft, Jackie talks to Nick on the phone about how Owen didn’t come home last night, as Owen comes in the door. They get into their issues about Jackie’s past and Owen doesn’t know if he can understand her actions. Jackie thinks maybe losing him is the price she has to pay for what she did. Owen isn’t sure he can get over it and Jackie sees his presence there as a sign of what a decent man he is. She says it took her a long time to get over what she did and he tells her she’s never been like anyone else and that’s what he loves about her. He says there are a lot of things they have to work on and Jackie knows it’s too much to ask him to forgive her again. However, she begs him to look past it, look into his heart and try and forgive her one more time. Owen smiles and says that he can. Relieved, Jackie grabs him and tells him how much she loves him.
Eric finds Marcus on the rooftop and tells him how much he appreciates his contribution to the company. Eric notes how happy Donna is to have him in her life and how her giving him up as a baby is in the past and it should stay that way. Marcus believes he’s one of the luckiest guys in the world. He respects Eric for his talent, as well as his big heart and the lives he touches. Eric has come to think of Marcus as family and hands him some papers petitioning to legally adopt him. Eric notes they never talked about his adoptive parents or real father and Marcus says his real dad doesn't know about him, but Eric is the only father he needs. Eric says, “So this is where we are supposed to hug?” And Marcus notes it's where he’s supposed to ask him to call him dad. They both like the sound of that and hug.
Katie asks why Donna made up an excuse to not have dinner with her and Bill. Donna brings up Justin and Katie asks what he was like in the past. Donna gets teary and tells her sister he is Marcus’ father. Katie is stunned and Donna talks about how crazy she was about him and that she found out she was pregnant the same day he found out he got a basketball scholarship. She didn’t want to hold him back so she gave up both Justin and Marcus. Katie asks if she’s going to tell him he has a son, but Donna doesn’t know what the right decision is. She doesn’t know what kind of person Justin is now and she doesn’t want to change the way Marcus feels about Eric. Katie tells her his feelings for Eric don’t have to change and suggests she feel Marcus out. Donna agrees saying if he’s not even interested, “Why bother telling Marcus?” Marcus enters wondering what she’s talking about. Katie gets a call from Bill and leaves to take it. Marcus asks what Donna is keeping from him and after they talk for a bit, she tells her son, “It’s time to meet your father.”
