Dallas calls back in a few minutes to say they've had a report of a young girl being in an accident, and Jack decides to go to the station; Carly insists on going with him. When they get there, Dallas insinuates to Carly that Sage is too young to have concocted such a sophisticated way of getting attention (faking a kidnapping), but before Carly can respond, he gets a phone call and tells Carly and Jack that the little girl in the accident has been identified and is not Sage; he also tells Carly, in response to her question, that the little girl will be okay. Carly and Jack leave to go look in the barn at the Snyder farm, but they don't find Sage there either. They return to Carly's house, where Jack embraces a worried Carly and tells her they'll get their daughter back. Sage peeks out from the staircase and shows herself to them. When they ask where she's been, she says she went to a neighbor's tree house but came back when it got cold. They ask her why she pretended she had been kidnapped, and she said she did it to get them back together again, and she hopes it worked since they were hugging each other. Carly tells Sage she can't worry people to try to trick them into doing what she wants, and then she says she knows she's done bad things, but she and Sage both need to promise to never again trick anyone they love to try to make them do something. Jack tells Sage to go get her overnight bag. While she's gone, Carly says she knows Jack wants to accuse her of setting a bad example for her kids and making Sage a "mini me," thereby justifying his decision to take the kids away from her, and Jack doesn't disagree. Sage comes down, hugs her mom, and leaves with Jack. Carly goes to her desk, puts away the picture of herself and Jack that's been standing on it, and finds the check the malpractice attorney gave her. At the farm, Sage asks Jack if he still loves her, even though she did such a bad thing; he says he'll always love her and that's why he was so worried. She asks if that means he still loves her mom, since he was so worried about her; Jack says he and Carly can't be together anymore, and he thought she understood that. Sage says she does, but she doesn't like it; Jack tells her she's old enough to learn that life isn't always the way you'd like it to be.

Meg runs into Paul at the hospital, and he tells her about Rosanna's collapse and relapse into the coma. Meg offers her sympathy and then asks if Paul will come with her to get the DNA results on her baby. Paul refuses, saying he doesn't want anything to do with her now. Meanwhile, Rosanna has awakened and has snuck out of her hospital room and gone to the stairwell, where Meg has also gone and has run into Craig. Seeing Craig and Meg, Rosanna hides, listening while Meg tells Craig what happened to Rosanna. Craig and Meg eventually leave, and Rosanna makes her way to Eli's office, where she hopes to find the results of Meg's DNA test. She looks at Eli's e-mail and finds one that states that the "husband" sample has been ruled out as being the father of Meg's baby but the "other" sample cannot be ruled out and shares all paternal markers, meaning Paul is the father. After a minute or two, she makes her way back to her hospital room, where Paul finds her sitting up in bed and begins asking her if she's okay and if she knows what happened and if she can remember how long she's been awake; while he's questioning her, she again becomes unconscious.

Meg and Craig run into Eli on their way out, and Meg quickly invents a cover story for Craig about her and Eli being former teammates on the hospital softball team, saying Eli has pictures he wants to show her. Craig wants to come see pictures of baseball Meg, but Meg tries hard to squelch that plan, and ultimately, she suggests he go find Bob Hughes, like he planned on doing. Craig acts as though he is leaving but actually follows Meg and Eli. Behind the closed door, he can't hear what they're discussing, but Eli finds a report and tells Meg the DNA results have apparently ruled out the "other" sample and point to the "husband" sample as being the father of her child. Meg is crushed to hear this news. She walks out, and Eli follows, telling her he's there for her if she needs him; she hugs him, and Craig sees them together.

Will says it won't jinx anything, and he's trying to think positive, since it appears they'll be able to adopt a baby soon. Gwen insists she'll feel better if she gets to meet the baby's mother, so Will calls Barbara and asks her to come over. Barbara tells Gwen the mother might want a closed adoption, and she points out it might be easier on everyone involved. Meanwhile, Sofie gets Aaron to loan her his laptop at the Lakeview so she can try to do some research on the adoptive parents of her baby; she is unable to find anything at all on the couple on the Internet and finds that odd. Cole comes in and tells her that he'll go talk to their lawyer and get more information for her, and when she excuses herself momentarily, he tells Aaron to stop trying to help Sofie with this because it will only make things worse for her. He leaves, but he goes to meet Iris at the diner, where he fills her in on the problem. Iris calls Barbara and gets her to come meet them, where Barbara says they'll simply tell Gwen that the adoptive mother insists on a closed adoption and tell Sofie that the adoptive parents insist on one. Cole leaves to go tell Sofie this "news," and he talks her into continuing with the adoption. Meanwhile, Gwen tells Will she will go along with a closed adoption if it's the only way to go, and she leaves to go pick up her paycheck at the Lakeview. While there, she runs into Sofie, who's been crying, and asks her if everything is okay. Sofie blasts her for judging her and Cole and says Gwen doesn't know anything about what's really going on with her and the baby.
