Hannah's bullet grazed Ryan. Zach, Kendall and Greenlee scrambled to tend to him. Aidan rushed to the roof, where he found the sniper's nest and a shell casing. When the EMTs arrived, one helpfully panicked, crying, "God, this looks bad." Babe insisted on telling Annie about the shooting in person. Kendall realized she was the target, and Zach agreed. Meanwhile, over in the psychiatric ward, a doctor suggested Richie might be a candidate for a bone marrow transplant, and Annie is a likely donor (which didn't sit well with her). Then Babe arrived with news of Ryan's shooting. Hannah rushed to Josh's place, where she growled, "I wanna have sex." She talked about recent conquests Tad and Zach — but not Adam. ("Even a whore has standards," she quipped.) Ryan was met at the hospital by Joe, who tried to reassure Kendall and Zach without making promises. Kendall lamented that Ryan was shot protecting her. Zach called to make sure Alexander Cambias was still in custody. Annie arrived just in time for Joe to pause for a commercial before delivering his prognosis: Ryan will be okay. Back at the penthouse, Greenlee suddenly panicked and screamed, "Omigod, Zach!" Elsewhere, Josh got a call from Zach, but Hannah knocked him out before he could answer.
In the psych ward, Babe asked Richie what he was talking to Annie about.
"Family stuff," he said, revealing the big transplant news and his belief that Annie won't help him. She told him, "It's okay to hope." Joe let Annie visit Ryan, who said, "I really did die and go to heaven. Look at the angel they sent me." He insisted he's fine. Zach comforted Kendall. At the penthouse, it turned out that Greens heard a noise and mistakenly shouted Zach's name reflexively. Aidan insisted he understood. Hannah tied Josh to a chair, held him at gunpoint and confessed she just tried to kill his sister. She wanted Kendall out of the picture so Zach would turn to her. She may have missed, but promised Kendall will die. Hannah lamented giving up son Ethan and Zach because of Alexander. She resented that Zach did nothing for her but does everything for Kendall. Hannah intended to make Kendall lose everything that's dear to her.
Babe assured Richie that Annie cares about him. She confessed to kidnapping Miranda, and shared that and even she was forgiven. They wished they could turn back time, then kissed. She broke it off and rushed out. He hid something in a magazine and tossed it in the trash. Meanwhile, Ryan wondered why Kendall was targeted. Zach and Kendall came in and joked around before she thanked him with a kiss on the forehead. Zach wanted to check on Josh, and Kendall insisted on coming along. Convenient, since Hannah was banking on Zach visiting. Greenlee told Aidan she loves "every part of him," and they began to make love. Josh, meanwhile, tried to talk Hannah out of her revenge — but Zendall arrived, and Hannah ordered Josh to invite them in.

In the wake of Ryan's shooting, Babe visited Krystal and mused about the randomness of life. Then she revealed that Richie might get a bone marrow transplant — oh, and they kissed. Krystal asked where JR fits in. Babe admitted JR is being charming lately. Meanwhile, JR visited Tad at his office and revealed that Adam offered him $50 million to be his son again. Tad advised him not to trust Adam. While playing pool, JR said in a perfect world he'd be sailing a yacht, and be someone respectable. And Babe would visit the captain's quarters. Tad advised JR to make it happen and control his own destiny. "You have Dixie's heart," he pointed out. At the Chandler manse, Babe stretched out on the couch and fantasized about Richie sweeping her off her feet. Later, Krystal welcomed Tad with a hug and thanked him for giving her a second chance at peace, comfort and a home. Babe brought Little A home, and JR visited seconds later. A little flustered by the day's events, she told him he could spend the night in the guest room.
At Pine Valley hospital, Annie told Ryan that Zach and Kendall went to check on Josh. Good thing, because Hannah was holding Josh hostage. He warned Zach and Kendall that Hannah had a gun. Zach wanted to negotiate, but Kendall wanted to fight. Josh worked on slipping his ropes while Hannah bemoaned not having Zach for herself. "I want justice," she claimed as she prepared to shoot Josh. Back at the hospital, Annie broke down in Julia's arms outside Ryan's room, but there was something she wouldn't talk about. Ryan told Annie he's never felt more alive. He sensed something was bothering her, but she wouldn't talk about it. Later, he wrote, "I'm Alive" on his bandages. Over at Josh's, Zach tried to apologize to Hannah, who wasn't interested in waiting for Zach to become available again. She brought up Ethan, calling herself and their son "your throwaway family." Josh slipped the bounds and got the drop on Hannah. They wrestled for her revolver; on the other side of the door, Zach and Kendall heard the gun go off. They burst in to find Josh down and Hannah gone. Zach gave chase and a freaked-out Kendall tended to Josh's head wound. Zach returned without Hannah and blasted Josh for letting her get out of control. Kendall defended her brother. Zach ordered Josh to get some guys and go "take down" Hannah, because she has to "pay the price" for threatening his family.
Over in the park, Colby ran into Dre, who said he's "on the run" from the family business — politics. His father is Samuel Woods, the politician. Dad doesn't like Dre being in a band, and Dre hates wearing suits and photo ops. Colby forgot she was actually in the park to meet Sean. Elsewhere, Sean literally ran into Hannah. She struggled to her feet and considered pulling her gun, but sized him up and then kissed him instead. Meanwhile, Colby invited Dre back to the Chandler mansion — or at least the tunnels, which she said were part of the Underground Railroad. Back in the park, Hannah invited Sean to take this make-out session someplace else, and he readily agreed. Meanwhile, Josh reported to Zach that there was no sign of Hannah, but revealed that she had been spying on Zach for Adam.

Aidan told Zach he could find no trace of Hannah. Zach set up to hunt for her himself, leaving Aidan in charge of a worried Kendall. Aidan refused to talk about them sleeping together, insisting he really loves Greenlee. At the penthouse, Greenlee awakened from a nightmare about the bomb shelter. Jack tried to comfort her, but she worried about Zach chasing Hannah. Greens called Zach "remarkable," and admitted she called out for him the last time she had a nightmare. Father and daughter then went for a walk in the park, where Greens realized she's lucky to have friends and family. Jack was concerned about her severely weakened state. Greens promised that she and Kendall are finished with falling in love with each other's men. Jack told her he spent New Year's with Erica, so Greens encouraged him to pursue La Kane. Zach went to the yacht club, where he demanded Adam reveal where to find Hannah. Adam feigned ignorance; Zach threatened to make Adam pay if he was involved in the hit on Kendall. Adam admitted employing Hannah, but said she came to Pine Valley because of Zach. After Zach stalked off Adam ordered his broker to buy as much Cambias stock as possible. Then he ordered increased security in view of the threat posed by Hannah.
Annie put a family photo by Ryan's bedside and they snuggled. Erica arrived to thank Ryan for saving Kendall. "I feel like I am the luckiest man on the earth," he replied. In fact, he insisted on dancing with her! "I don't think I could be any happier," he exulted. Julia entered, and Erica quickly left. Ryan told Julia he was employing "SITH therapy" (which stands for Shot In The Head therapy). Julia explained that her friendship with Jack was causing friction with Erica. In the hall, Annie found Richie waiting for more tests to get on the bone marrow transplant list. He assured her he won't ask her to get tested because he already knows the answer. She refused to be guilted into it. He vowed that if he got a second chance he'd turn over a new leaf. She pointed out it's impossible to trust him. He admitted he tried to trick her into killing him so she would go to jail. Then he handed over that letter, the one that explained everything he did. But it was blank, because there was nothing left to say. He claimed he was coming clean on his schemes to prove his sincerity. She was furious, saying, "You're just evil — down to your soul." He got weepy and promised to never hurt her again. She noted that he cannot hurt her once he's dead. Annie told a sleeping Ryan that he and the kids are all the family she needs.
Elsewhere, after Aidan innocently offered Kendall a reassuring hug, she recoiled. They agreed they would never do anything together again. Erica entered just in time to catch the end of their "discussion." After he went outside to check the guards Kendall suggested Erica misses Jack. In the park, Jack said he forgave Kendall, but can't forgive Erica for their latest troubles. Greens pretended she had a magic wand and "cast" a spell to make life go back to happier times. Jack said "the good ol' days" are merely selective memory at work. Later, Greens got woozy.
Elsewhere, Hannah called Zach from a motel room (where Sean was passed out on the bed), and said, "I need to see you immediately."

Greenlee was dizzy when Jack brought her home, but she assured him she was just hungry. Then she collapsed. Joe made a house call to check her out. Worried about Kendall, Greens was frustrated by Aidan and Jack treating her like porcelain. Joe injected Greenlee with a vitamin supplement and advised her to rest. Joe told Jack Greenlee's problem may be psychological, so therapy "wouldn't hurt."
At Kendall's place, Aidan checked on a noise outside that turned out to be Zach, secretly checking on Kendall before going to meet Hannah at Miller's Falls. Aidan wanted to tag along, but Zach insisted on going alone. Inside, Erica asked her daughter if she had a problem with Aidan being with Greenlee. When Kendall said no, Erica asked, "Is it something between Aidan and you?" An indignant Kendall said just because Erica cheated on her husband "doesn't mean I cheated on mine." Then she felt bad about it. Erica apologized for "jumping to the conclusion that you slept with Aidan" at the exact moment Aidan walked into the room and Zach peered in through a window. Aidan scoffed at Erica's accusation. Erica slipped away to call Jack and ask him to bring Greens to Kendall's place for security reasons. Greenlee loved the idea. Meanwhile, at the Pine Cone, Hannah flashed back to Zach talking about being dedicated to his wife and child and letting her walk. Sean woke up and playfully grabbed Hannah, making her drop her gun. "I'm sorry you saw that," she said, then brushed it off as self-defense. "Sorry we won't be seeing each other again," she said as she left. A spooked Sean locked the door behind her. Then he caught a bulletin about her on TV.
Babe thanked JR for spending the night at her place (in another room, natch). Then he asked her on a date. When she declined, he explained that he intended for Little Adam to come along for "a little foolin' around in the snow." She assented, and they went snowman building — complete with musical montage and snowball fight. Later, Babe thanked him for being so good to their son. JR asked if he could learn to like the new JR. She said it was a good idea for them to be friends. In the tunnels of the Chandler mansion, Colby brought Dre a blanket, iPod and postcards, so he could fake being in New York to throw his father's P.I. off the scent. She heard Adam calling her, and told Dre how Adam framed Sean for drug dealing after Colby hid him. She also confessed that she was jailed for carjacking. Dre said his past was "okay"...until his mom died in the South Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11. He got a burn from visiting Ground Zero in the middle of the night, but found no trace of his mother. Dre said his father used the attack publicity to get elected to the city council, become a prosecutor and now run for senator.
Greenlee warmly embraced Aidan when she arrived at Kendall's. Jack got a call from Sean filling him in about Hannah. Then Jack and Aidan sneaked outside to hatch a plan. Aidan asked Jack to cover while he went to make sure Hannah and Zach didn't kill each other. Meanwhile, Zach arrived at the falls and skewered Hannah with a glowering look that could kill.

Annie brought Ryan the news that he was officially released. He decreed that nothing shall bring down the Lavery family ever again, then got all romantic. When they got home, they kissed under the mistletoe. Ryan peeled off his bandage and celebrated being alive. When Annie checked on him later, she found him on the balcony in his briefs, letting snow pile up on him.
Richie, meanwhile, visited a panel of doctors considering his release. He told them about how he used to be obsessed with revenge against Annie, but not anymore. "I love her and I forgive her," he claimed. He sang Babe's praises and told how he looks forward to making her part of his future. The docs told Richie that Dr. Chambers was killed in the prison yard today. Richie got enraged, but caught himself. Later, he traipsed through the halls, a free man. He called to thank the guy who took care of Chambers.
Babe broke her kiss with JR and fretted that sex won't solve their problems.
"Just tell me I have a shot," he pleaded. She agreed. Back at Babe's place, JR wanted a shower. When he couldn't find shampoo he ventured out in a towel just as the doorbell rang. It was Richie. "Did I come at a bad time?" he asked. "Does it look like a bad time to you?" JR smirked.
Jack told Erica, Greenlee and Kendall a cover story about Aidan, but then spilled the truth. Greens and Kendall admitted they love stubborn men, but they can get through this by supporting each other. Kendall was surprised when Greens recounted how Zach had a fever in the bomb shelter and hallucinated she was Kendall and professed his love. Greens said something had changed in Aidan since the rescue — he treats her like porcelain when she wants him to make violent love to her. When Sean arrived, Jack took him outside to scold him for getting busy with Hannah. Sean admitted they had sex — and Erica heard. Sean remembered mentioning the rocks to Hannah. Jack sent Sean to the police, and wouldn't let Greens or Kendall go to the rocks. So they locked Jack and Erica in a closet and bolted to the falls.
At the rocks, Hannah told Zach she targeted Kendall because she wanted to live that life with Zach. "It ends here," Zach said — so she drew her gun. Zach urged her to spill her guts (instead of his). She recalled her 17-year-old self, who was secretly pregnant with Zach's child. Alexander (Zach's father) knew her secret and teased her that Zach would never return to her — and then Alexander repeatedly raped her. "I didn't know," Zach said. Aidan sneaked closer and drew a bead on Hannah, but Zach waved him off and encouraged Hannah to talk. She admitted to staying at Alexander's because she was waiting for Zach to return, but he never did. Then Alexander called her a whore and kicked her out. So she hid Ethan in a home and became a businesswoman. But inside she's still a scared 17-year-old waiting to be rescued by Zach the way he rescued Maria, Erica, Dixie, Greenlee and Kendall. Why didn't he save Hannah or their child? Zach urged her not to give Alexander the satisfaction of ruining her life. He offered to rescue her now. He started acting out a scene: "I just came home from school," he began, and promised to protect her from the old man. "Let me hold you." She lowered the gun and they embraced. She sobbed in his arms. As they started to walk away, Hannah lost her footing and tumbled over the cliff just as Kendall and Greenlee arrived.
Hannah and Zach desperately reached for each other....
