The doctors try to save Jackie’s baby, but can’t. The doctors decide Jackie should be the 1st to know about the baby’s death, & thus, do not tell anyone, including Steve & Carl.

Steve leaves without talking to Michelle, but warns Timothy he’ll be back to see her. Overhearing Steve’s response, Michelle loses control & quickly escapes through the open window. Meanwhile, Timothy sees Steve out &, too tired to check on Michelle, falls asleep on the couch.

Satisfied the boys are not in the restaurant, Wendleton’s hired help escapes unnoticed through a back door. Michael, still unsure of why the doors were ajar, cautiously moves forward into the restaurant, but decides to leave & come back in the morning. He closes & locks the doors. Hearing the doors close, Adam decides it is safe for all 3 of them to spend the night there.

Cathy intervenes between Tammy & Christine. Tammy goes to check on Olivia, & Cathy orders Christine to go home to get some rest. Before she leaves, Christine tells Cathy it isn’t over between her (Christine) & Tammy.

Startled to see Amy in his bedroom, let alone in his house, Jake asks Amy why & how she is there. Amy tells Jake in a sly, somewhat threatening tone, he should be more careful about leaving his front door unlocked. With Jake not responding visually or audibly, Amy cautiously continues, telling Jake she only wanted to make sure he is OK. Somewhat perturbed, Jake tells Amy that, as she can see, he is doing just fine. Amy eyes Jake up & down & agrees he is, indeed, fine. Seemingly unaffected by Amy’s attempt to seduce him, Jakes asks Amy (in a “I have something to hide” way) what she was doing going through his stuff. Amy casually answers, “no reason”, though Jake’s tone of voice has obviously piqued her interest. Still upset & wanting to be alone, Jake hastily accepts Amy’s answer & asks her to leave. Amy eventually agrees & starts to head out the door, only to have the belt on her outfit catch the towel around Jake, tearing the towel completely off him. The 2 stare in shock at each other, but Jake quickly gathers up the towel & begins to put it back around him. But, Amy twirls around, says “don’t bother” & eventually seduces Jake.

Richie kisses Erika passionately & quickly exits. Erika falls back against a wall after the kiss just as Julia comes around the corner. Without saying a word, Julia “cooly” passes Erika & leaves. Erika eventually goes to inquire about Jackie’s condition.

The next day, Jackie awakens to find a couple of doctors in her room. She can tell something is wrong, but she is too tired to ask.

Timothy awakens & goes to check on Michelle, who, to his horror, is not in her bed.

Adam wakes Donnie & Barry to get them going, through not before Michael & Matthew enter the restaurant, Michael having asked Matthew to go with him. Meanwhile, Wendleton’s hired help also decides to return to the restaurant, unconvinced the boys are not there, & arrives to see Michael & Matthew entering.

Cathy visits Mack, who enlists Cathy’s help in trying to locate Laura to bring her back to Jake.

Steve wakes & elects to take the day off to detail his Monte Carlo.

Jake & Amy wake up in each others’ arms, Amy happy to be with Jake again, & Jake somewhat “confused” because Amy dumped him, he is still attracted to Amy & still misses-loves Laura.

Julia attempts to contact Richie, but to no avail. Richie shows up at Erika’s just as she is leaving….

Carl visits Virginia (& Desmond) & tells them since Virginia has recovered well, she can go home. Virginia & Desmond happily accept this unexpected hospital discharge & prepare to leave….

Inmate # 1369 gives Alicia grief while she prepares for a visit to see her mother (Jackie) in the hospital. Meanwhile, Wendleton calls the prison to check on the status of Inmate # 1369’s release.

Tammy continues her vigil by Olivia’s side.

Christine wakes up alone & scared & decides to “take action”….

Desmond & Virginia arrive home to find Wendleton at their front door.

Carl hears Jackie is out of surgery & in ICU. He considers going to see Jackie, but is interrupted by Timothy who is frantically searching for Michelle.

A doctor wakes Jackie back up to tell her she lost her baby. Not all that phased by the news, Jackie asks if anyone else knows. The doctor informs her he accidentally told Steve about her pregnancy, but nobody (including Steve) knows she lost the baby. Jackie then calmly informs the doctor they had better have an understanding that nobody else will ever know, because if they do find out, she will sue for malpractice. Tammy, having left Olivia’s room for a break, happens to walk past Jackie’s room, overhearing the last part of Jackie’s conversation with the doctor….
