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.

Though Margo's intention is to lay down the law, they wind up having a great time together.

Rosanna explains to Jordan that he has to sign the papers and adopt Cabot, too. He protests that he never agreed to that, but when she tearfully pleads that she'll lose her son again if he doesn't sign, he gives in. Rosanna drops the bomb that they have to stay married for two years. Jordan flips and accuses Rosanna of having known this all along.

Lucy confides in Lucinda about Craigs shenanigans in Vegas. She's so upset that she decided to move back to Montega. Craig begs Lucy not to leave him.

Lucy calls Montega and leaves a message for her mom.

Carly reveals to Rosanna that Jennifer is still holding out hope for herself and Jordan. Rosanna confronts Jordan, accusing him of saying something to Jennifer about their marriage not being legit.

Starziak calls Metro and alerts Molly that he is watching Lily and Holden. Molly reports this to Dusty, who remains mum about the threat when Lily and Holden show up to say all is forgiven. Molly exposes the truth and an angry Lily accuses Dusty of setting up the Rose Foundation as a front. She declares that she's cutting him out of its operation. Holden blames Dusty for putting Lily and their family in danger. Chris asks Alison when the commemorative plate for his parents will be finished. Alison is on the brink of freaking out when Aaron shows up with a plate that he's had made. Alison shows the plate to Chris and Susan before Aaron has a chance to tell her that the true artisan's name is on the back. As Alison attempts to get the plate away from Chris, she drops it and it breaks.

Stenbeck refuses to see Rosanna, who goes to Paul for help. Paul guesses that Stenbeck is behind the return of the baby and the marriage to Jordan. Although Paul is hesitant about having Stenbeck back in his life, he agrees to help Rosanna. Jordan and Jennifer run into each other at BRO. She again questions him about what he meant when he told her his marriage wasn't what it seemed, but he wont say. If she's so angry with him, Jordan challenges her to punch him if it will make her feel better. So, she does. Alison is forced to try to make a new plate to replace the one that broke. Aaron tries to help her but it's a disaster. Finally, Aaron agrees to buy her another one, getting her even deeper in debt. Meanwhile, Chris gets his shift at the clinic covered so that he can take Alison for a night out at Metro, where Alison is due to report for work. Still trying to get pregnant, Ben and Jessica make love at the hospital. Jessica has asked Margo to cover for her at a meeting between Doc and his ex and to keep Doc from misbehaving.

Just as she's fumbling for an explanation to Chris, Tom and Margo, Molly interrupts with the news that Alison is relieved of duty. James agrees to see Rosanna and Paul. Rosanna begs James to remove Jordan from the papers. James informs her that Jordan has more claim to the kid than she does - since he is Cabots biological father! Rosanna's horrified that James engineered the entire thing. Jordan tells Carly that he's more determined than ever to stick with the two-week limit on this marriage. Hes suspicious when he hears Rosanna is with Paul. Carly finally admits that Pauls father James Stenbeck is the one pulling the stings and makes Jordan promise not to repeat what she's said. Jordan explains that he doesn't want to get close to Cabot because, despite the adoption agreement, he's just not prepared to be a father. Rosanna and Paul enter and claim they know nothing more about Jordan's connection than before they met Stenbeck. Jordan says she'd better figure something out in the next two weeks and leaves. Rosanna doesn't want to say anything to Jordan about Cabots paternity until they know if Stenbeck told the truth. Jennifer feels better after socking Jordan, and shares her feelings with her mother. Barbara warns her to be careful. Later, Jordan finds Jennifer at BRO and, after an awkward moment, surprises her with a kiss.
