Jennifer is stunned by Jordans sudden marriage to Rosanna. She is also shocked to learn that Jordan knew about Barbaras blindness all along. After she runs out of the chapel, Jordan begs Rosanna to allow him to tell Jennifer the truth about their marriage. Rosanna insists that when she gets Cabot back, Jordan can tell Jennifer everything. Later, Jennifer tells Jordan that she doesn't want Barbara to know that he is married until she is better and he agrees. Rosanna calls her contact to say that she has married Jordan, and wants her baby back. It turns out to be Annabelle Fettle, who shows up and announces that she doesn't know where the baby is. As Rosanna demands an explanation, Cabot is safe in Craigs arms! In Barbara's hospital room, Barbara asks Paul if their reconciliation has been a sham since the beginning. Paul admits it has but is surprised when Barbara says that she understands. She takes responsibility for what Will did to Rose and gives Paul the option to walk away from her right now. Paul asks Walker if it would be all right for Barbara to attend the fashion show. Walker agrees. Barbara assumes that he just wants her there to support him as the company's new owner, but Paul tears up the papers he got her to sign and declares that they are starting over. Barbara then asks Paul and Jordan to make peace as Jennifer and Paul take Barbara home from the hospital. Henry arrives at Deerbrook and discovers that Katie has given up. He arranges to be committed to the hospital himself so that she won't be there alone. Meanwhile, Pilar persuades Mike to let her comfort him.
