As soon as Babe begins to call the paramedics, Richie is on his feet to object. Babe demands Richie tell her the truth or else she is calling the police. Richie admits he blames Annie for many things and came to Pine Valley to get back at her. Babe suggests he leave town, but Richie doesn't want to walk away from Babe. She offers to make him dinner while he showers. After Richie is cleaned up, he is surprised to find Ryan at the door after getting a call from Babe.

Krystal makes an appointment with a top-dollar attorney. She tells Adam she is confident she will win custody of Jenny. After she leaves, Erica stops to rant about how Krystal nearly ran her over outside. Even more, Erica says she is horrified that Adam is back together with Krystal, simply so he can stick it to Tad. Adam jokes that perhaps Erica is a better match for Tad now that she and Jackson are history. Erica will not acknowledge that she and Jackson are broken up, leading Adam to believe he is right. Adam says he would not be upset if Zach turned up dead. Erica said he wouldn't be so happy if JR was behind bars, but Adam gloats about how he has evidence to clear JR's name. Erica tells Adam that is more concerned about Krystal's custody battle than helping Kendall find Zach. Adam says Erica knows all about being selfish considering she tried to get Greenlee committed to a mental hospital. Erica finally admits she and Jackson are over, but Adam finds it hard to believe she has given up on Jackson so easily. She rushes out, but not before warning him to stay away from Tad and Jenny. Adam tries to get in touch with Krystal but has no luck.
Aidan and Kendall look at a map closely and discover Greenlee and Zach may be hiding in a nearby bomb shelter. They zip on their coats up, hurry outside and dig through the snow to find the entrance for the bomb shelter. Aidan has trouble lifting the lid because it is frozen. Finally, he pulls it off and they call for Greenlee and Zach but get no answer. When Aidan looks down the entrance with a flashlight, he sees a lifeless Greenlee and Zach. Aidan thinks they are dead, but Kendall refuses to believe it. They go back to the cabin to call an ambulance, but the phone is dead. Quinton comes in and offers to help rescue Greenlee and Zach. Aidan lowers himself to the bottom of the bomb shelter with a rope. Immediately, he rushes over to Greenlee and Zach, who both have pulses. Greenlee is pulled up first, but Aidan has to administer CPR when she stops breathing. Impatiently, Kendall insists she go down herself to get Zach. When she makes it to his side, the walls start crumbling inside the shelter.
Tad goes to the chapel and is surprised to find Father Clarence has returned for his annual Christmas visit. He comes inside, after confessing he got a bit lost while driving around with Jenny. He thinks it is strange to find Father Clarence again. Reluctantly, Tad allows Father Clarence to hold Jenny and place her in a manger to rest. Moments later, Krystal rushes into the church after getting a flat tire. She sees Jenny in the manger and immediately they begin to bicker about Tad taking Jenny out for a drive in the cold. Father Clarence breaks up the fighting by asking Tad and Krystal what they feel for Jenny and why. Krystal says the way she loves Jenny is indescribable, and the best feeling in the world. Tad agrees that Jenny has touched him in the same exact way. When Jenny gets fussy, Krystal suggests Tad sing to her. They begin to sing together, stopping at the line "Please don't take my sunshine away." With tears in their eyes, Krystal and Tad admit they are both good parents to Jenny. They agree not to try to take Jenny away from each other just as Father Clarence disappears. Krystal finally agrees that Jenny does not belong near Adam and promises to keep her away from him. When Krystal opens her purse, she finds a mysterious piece of paper.
