At Crimson Lights, Cane and Lily discussed Jack's condition. She lamented that a happy wedding day had ended in chaos. Cane blamed Genevieve for the turn of events, but he cut himself off and stated that he didn't want to talk about his mother. Lily said that there was someplace else they should be, and she led Cane to the door.

Cane and Lily strolled through the park, and they commented about the beautiful, sunny weather. She suggested that they not talk or think, but just be together. He replied that there was no one he'd rather be with. Lily recalled a cute story of Matty and Charlie playing with Humphrey. Cane said the twins took after their mommy, and she added that they emulated their daddy, too. Cane asked her to go for a walk, but she playfully started a snowball fight instead.

Cane and Lily laughed about which of them had won the snowball fight, and she noted that he had needed it to take his mind off his mother. He called her a kind person who cared for him and his family, and he was thankful that she had learned to trust him again. She apologized for taking so long, but he said that he'd learned to never take time with her for granted. He requested that she sit on the park bench, and he dropped down to one knee. He asked her if she would marry him again.

Lily was stunned, and she questioned whether it was really happening. He asked if his proposal had been a bad idea, but she said it was the best one she could think of. She gushed that she would marry him, and she rushed into his arms. They kissed.

At the Newman ranch, Victor asked Nick about his knee injury, and Nick thought his plight was minor compared to Jack's possible paralysis. Nick reported that he had spoken with Nikki, who had spent the night at the hospital, and he hoped that they'd know more soon. Nick added that Sharon had had also stayed overnight at the hospital with Adam. Victor inquired about Adam's condition, and Nick coldly stated that he hadn't asked, because he didn't care.

Nick clarified that he wanted Adam to recover, but he didn't intend to lend his brother any support, because he felt that Adam was getting enough help from Sharon. Nick assured Victor that he wasn't going to hassle Sharon over custody of Faith, because Nick had his hands full with the obstruction of justice charges. Victor declared that Diane's murder mystery had been solved, and they could go on with their lives.

At the police station, Genevieve asked Ronan if she could speak with Patty, but Paul stated that was impossible, because Patty was about to be transferred to a maximum-security psychiatric ward. Genevieve insisted that she wanted to see Patty before she was taken away, but Paul argued that Patty was fragile. Genevieve ranted that Patty had put two people in the hospital, but Ronan ordered Genevieve to leave.

Later, Spencer congratulated Ronan and Paul on finally tracking down Patty, who he referred to as "that head case," and Ronan scolded him for his insensitivity. Spencer announced that he'd allowed Genevieve to visit Patty. Meanwhile, a guard led Genevieve to Patty's room, where a dazed Patty hummed to herself. Genevieve confronted her, and Patty slowly looked up and locked eyes with Genevieve.

Genevieve called herself stupid for caring about Patty and treating Patty like family. Paul burst in and demanded that Genevieve not utter another word. Patty mused that Genevieve looked like her favorite teacher from first grade. Paul gently explained that Genevieve was just a friend who'd stopped by to visit. Patty asked if he'd seen her kitty, and Paul promised he'd look for it.

Genevieve realized how unstable Patty was, and Paul escorted her out. Paul reprimanded Genevieve for defying his order, and she acknowledged that he had been right. Genevieve observed that Patty had seemed like a broken child, and that Patty was nothing like the "Myrna" she had known. She sympathized with Paul, and he admitted that it was difficult to not be able to help someone he loved.

Ronan berated Spencer for allowing Genevieve to see Patty, but Spencer understood Genevieve's desire to see Patty behind bars. Ronan said they had to dismiss the charges against the other suspects, but Spencer wasn't yet prepared to do that. Ronan urged Spencer to wrap up the case and move on.

Ricky dropped by Phyllis' home, and she wondered why he wasn't at Restless Style. He continued to push his story about Patty. He called it a journalist's dream, and he thought the public would be fascinated by Patty's connection to Diane's murder case. Phyllis said she'd considered his idea, and she knew what she wanted to do. Ricky asked when they would get started, but Phyllis revealed that she had decided not to run the story.

Phyllis explained that Jack was her friend and former husband, and since Patty was ill, they might face a backlash from their readers. Ricky countered that thousands of people would buy the magazine, but Phyllis warned that Paul would figure out that Ricky had lied about the time he'd spent with Patty in the attic. Ricky retorted that Phyllis had built her career on attacking her family, and he refused to settle for being mediocre. She insisted that they weren't doing the story, and she threatened to fire him if he kept pushing.

Phyllis forbade Ricky to write the story, and he told her to consider it dead. Ricky left as Nick arrived, and Nick reported that the girls were with the nanny at the library. He suspiciously asked why Ricky had been there, and Phyllis recounted Ricky's story idea, but she noted that she had turned Ricky down, because of her promise to Nick. Phyllis explained that everyone was suffering, and she didn't want to make things worse, and Nick pointed out that Restless Style would have looked like a sleazy tabloid if she had run the story. Phyllis couldn't believe that Ricky was willing to exploit his aunt, even though she understood his ambition to make a name for himself. She admitted that she had been tempted, and Nick declared that he was proud of her.

Ronan phoned Phyllis and told her that the charges against her had been dropped. She asked about Nick, and Ronan asked her to put Nick on the line. Ronan informed Nick that the charges against him had been dropped, too. Nick inquired about the status of the rest of his family, but Ronan said he had to speak with each person individually, and he had more people to call. They hung up, and Phyllis and Nick embraced and prepared to celebrate. The nanny arrived home with Summer, Faith, and Lucy. Summer presented Nick and Phyllis with identical valentines she'd made for them, because she believed their hearts were the same.

Patty told Paul she was tired, and he promised she'd feel better soon, because he'd take her to a place that would give her everything she needed. She said that he was good to her, and he urged her to get some rest. She declared her love for him, and he returned the sentiment. He waved goodbye with tears in his eyes, and he exited the room. Paul found Ricky in the hallway and angrily confronted his son. Paul instructed the guards not to let Ricky see Patty, and he commanded Ricky to stop pretending that he cared. Paul ordered Ricky to leave.

At the hospital, Adam called Sharon's name, and she awakened in a chair and hurried to his side. He was surprised that she'd spent the night, and he suggested that she go home to rest. She wanted to stay to meet with his specialist, who she prayed could restore his eyesight. Adam remarked that she always hoped for the best, while he braced for the worst.

The specialist informed Adam that he'd consulted with Adam's doctor and another expert, and he agreed that Adam should stay in the hospital to receive treatment for a few days. However, the specialist was discouraged that there had been no improvement, and he thought it was likely that the damage was irreversible. The doctor left, and Sharon comforted Adam. Adam said he had been prepared to hear the words, and Sharon asked what she could do for him. He wanted to be alone, and she stepped into the hallway.

Victor found Sharon and inquired whether there had been any updates regarding Adam's condition. She disclosed that Adam's prognosis wasn't good, and she questioned whether Victor was there to see Adam, but Victor said he hadn't changed his mind. Victor asked if Adam had met with the specialist, and Sharon reported that unless a miracle occurred, Adam would be blind. Sharon was miffed by Victor's cold attitude, and he excused himself to take a call.

Victor told someone that it was about time, and he relayed to Sharon that the charges against Victor and Adam had been dropped. He asked Sharon to tell Adam, and she hoped that the news would cheer Adam up. Victor confided that Adam had sold Hope's farm to raise cash for the hedge fund, and Victor had secretly bought it. He urged Sharon to take Adam there, but not to let Adam know that Victor had been involved. She was baffled by his request, but she silently stepped back into Adam's room. Victor peered into the room, while Sharon told Adam that she had some news.

Adam reacted lukewarmly upon learning that the charges had been dropped, but Sharon was glad that he didn't have to worry about going to prison. She announced that she had a plan for when Adam was released. Sharon claimed that she'd contacted the owners of Hope's farm, and since it was vacant, she had rented it, so they could spend time there together. He refused to go.

In his hospital bed, Jack roughly tapped his leg with his hand, but he didn't feel anything. He called Nikki's name to wake her up. He said the anesthetic had worn off, and the doctors could test his legs, but he wasn't in pain, even though he should be. She realized that he still couldn't move. Traci, Ashley, and Katherine arrived. Ashley commented that his color looked good, but Jack didn't want to speculate about his condition until they had all of his test results.

Jack thanked his sisters for dropping off magazines, and Ashley said Billy would stop by later, because he was spending time with Delia. Katherine asked about Kyle, and Jack was grateful that Abby was with his son. Katherine marveled that Jack had a wonderful family who pulled together in a crisis. Jack wistfully remarked that they'd had a lot of practice, but he felt the love among them. The doctor entered to run more tests, and Nikki and Katherine stepped out of the room.

Jack closed his eyes, while the doctor prodded Jack's legs and asked if Jack felt anything, but he didn't. Ashley and Traci looked worriedly at one another. Jack desperately tried to feel something and asked the doctor to be more aggressive, but the doctor said he had already tried, to no avail. Later, the Abbott siblings discussed making chocolate cupcakes for Valentine's Day, and they joked about a bad batch of baked goods that Ashley had made for an old boyfriend years before. Traci began to cry, and she wailed that after losing John, Colleen, and Brad, she didn't know what she would have done if they'd lost Jack, too.

Ashley took Traci to get some coffee, and Katherine urged Jack to let out his feelings. He confessed that he'd seen John during the surgery, and John had told him to go back, because it wasn't Jack's time yet. Katherine laughed and agreed that obviously it hadn't been. Jack didn't understand why John would send him back to spend his life in a wheelchair. An optimistic Katherine reminded him that he had people around him who loved him, and she advised him not to get ahead of himself, because the paralysis might not be permanent.

Ashley excitedly informed Jack, Traci, and Katherine that all of the obstruction charges against their family members had been dismissed, and Jack hoped it was the beginning of a lucky streak. The doctor entered and said he'd reviewed Jack's tests, and Jack confidently asked when he could walk out of the hospital. The doctor stated that there was very little chance of that happening.

Jack was speechless, and Ashley, Traci, and Katherine fussed over him. Jack told his visitors to stop looking at him like someone had died, because he refused to accept that he'd never walk again. "Almost no chance means there is a still a chance, and I will do everything in my power to beat the odds," Jack vowed.

Nikki arrived home and reported to Victor that she'd spent the night at the hospital, because Jack had flatlined on the operating table and might not walk again. Victor informed her that the charges against himself and Adam had been dropped. She wondered about the charges against Victoria, Nick, and herself. She checked her phone, but she had no messages. Victor pointed out that there were a lot of people who Ronan had to contact. Nikki asked if Victor had seen Adam, and Victor said that he hadn't, but things weren't looking good.

Nikki assumed that Victor was devastated about Adam's condition, and she recalled how worried Victor had been that Adam would inherit Hope's blindness. Victor pointed out that his concern had ended years before, but Nikki implored him to support his son. Victor bellowed that Adam had since tried to frame him for murder, and an irritated Nikki left.

Genevieve dropped by to discuss business with Victor, and he asked if she'd made a decision about Beauty of Nature. She proclaimed that she didn't want to sell it back to him or work with him, but rather, she wanted to run it herself. He asked her to reconsider, but she maintained that there was nothing to think about, because she'd lost Jack and Cane, and Beauty of Nature was all she had left. Victor warned her that she was making a big mistake.

Nikki arrived at the police station in response to Ronan's call, and she hoped that he had good news for her, too. He wished that he did, but he regretfully confirmed that the charges against her still stood.
