Walker informs Paul and Jennifer that Barbara is out of surgery and it went well. Jennifer is cool but gracious towards Jordan, which only makes him feel worse. He is tempted to come clean with Jen, but Carly reminds him that Cabot's safety is at stake. Paul and Jennifer visit with Barbara, and Walker arranges a call from Will. Barbara declares that this is her best success of all - her family being together. Rosanna wont sign a contract naming Jordan as the adopted parent. Annabelle holds firm and eventually, Rosanna concedes. Carly arrives and Rosanna considers having Jordan sign long enough for the papers to go through, then the two of them can get divorced. Carly reads the contract and points out a codicil saying Rosanna and Jordan must stay married for two years. Rosanna is devastated as Jordan enters and sees the adoption papers. With Katies help, Henry makes his escape and heads to put pressure on Russ. Meanwhile, Pilar gets closer to Mike and they wind up making love again - this time at Mike's initiation. Katie is busted and questioned about Henry's disappearance. She stonewalls but learns later that the staff doctor has gone to the police station where Henry has just arrived to question Russ. Kim asks Margo to have Tom speak to Doc about his behavior. Margo decides to talk to Doc herself and arranges a meeting. Though Margo's intention is to lay down the law, they wind up having a great time together.
