Cole realizes he may have to romance JoBeth in order to land a job with the construction company. Olivia jumps to the wrong conclusion after overhearing a snippet of a conversation between her daughter and Annie. At the Deep, Tim told Ricardo his theory that Ben duplicated his wound on Grogan's leg so that no one would suspect that they had the wrong killer. Fooled by Annie's cover story, Olivia assures Caitlin that she would be thrilled to be a member of the wedding party. Later, Annie plots to kidnap Olivia's baby and deliver it to Caitlin without letting either woman figure out were the child came from. Tim urges Ricardo to avenge his sister's death by nailing Ben for the murders on the island. Olivia begs Cole to forget about any claim he may have on the child she is carrying. Posing as a woman about to adopt a newborn, Annie cons a doctor into giving her drugs that will start production of breast milk and then asks for a pill that would induce labor in the birth mother. Faced with Sean's scorn, Olivia advises her son to show some compassion for his unborn brother. After assuring Caitlin that he's finally found some honest work, Cole can't stop thinking about how much more money he could make by stealing JoBeth's necklace. Unable to obtain the labor-inducing medication legally, Annie breaks into the doctor's drug cabinet and rummages through the vials. Ben camouflages his wounded leg with a flesh-colored bandage complete with dark hairs attached.

give her away as long as he can't accept Cole, Gregory tells
Caitlin that he'll accept Cole if that is what will make her
happy.
After Caitlin leaves, Eddie arrives and told Gregory that he's come up with a way to stop Caitlin and Cole's wedding -- the tape of Jade and Cole together. However, with Jade's death, Caitlin would know that it's an old tape, so Gregory knows that it won't work to stop their wedding. He does, however, pay Eddie for the tape, just in case it comes in handy to use against Cole later.
