At the loft, Belle agonized over Philip's broadcast video, blaming herself for betraying her wedding vows. A hopeful Jan whispered in Belle's ear, "It must feel terrible to betray a man who is about to die." Resolving to save Philip with her love, Belle asked Shawn to leave so that she could dedicate herself to saving her husband's life.

Devastated, Shawn turned his ire on Jan, blaming her for losing Belle. Furious, Shawn demanded that Jan tell him the truth about last summer.

Rex used the computer at his apartment to track down more information on captured Philip. As if he were not worried enough about his brother Philip, Rex also grew anxious when he couldn't reach Kate.

Billie and Bo received the results of the DNA test on the lock of hair and it confirmed that it was a match for Georgia. An ecstatic Billie began to celebrate but a cautious Hope told her to ask a few questions to be sure. Bo asked whether the DNA sample was recent and the technician confirmed it was not from a newborn and was taken recently. Billie ran off to sign the paper work, leaving Hope to beg Bo to go with her to talk to Shawn. Kate interrupted to ask Bo to stay with Billie so that she could take care of John. Bo agreed, leaving Hope to talk to Shawn alone but promising to meet her over at Shawn's apartment later.

Jack rubbed his temples trying to reconcile the vision of Jennifer out on the front walk wearing a black jacket with the Jennifer dressed in purple making coffee in the kitchen. When purple clad Jennifer returned, a shaken Jack told her he just saw her out front but blamed sleep deprivation and the constant desire to see her again. Jennifer worried Tony might still be after Jack and that they should leave. A tired Jack decided they should lock themselves into the house, to avoid any possible clones.

At the back of the Deveraux house, the black clad Jennifer entered the kitchen and picked up a knife. After a moment, she put it back exclaiming, "Maggie has knives. She wanted a pie server!" Black clad Jennifer called Maggie on her cell phone and told her she could only find a spatula. As black clad Jennifer walked out the back door, purple clad Jennifer entered the kitchen to fuss with the coffee.

As Jack thought back on all the suspicious moments he has had with Jennifer since he returned, he began to wonder if he was currently with the imposter. Hoping to figure things out, Jack begged purple clad Jennifer to do the hair thing he loved so much. Jennifer stalled until she could go back into the kitchen. Now certain he was with an imposter, Jack ran out the front door. Once back in the kitchen, Imposter Jennifer made a phone call to someone and yelled about how "no one told her Jennifer had a stupid hair thing!"

Out in the back yard, black clad Jennifer talked on her cell phone, asking Maggie whether Abby had arrived for Alice's party. Figuring they got their signals crossed, Jennifer decided to leave a note for Abby inside the house. Jennifer walked back into the kitchen as imposter Jennifer hid in the kitchen pantry. While writing the note, Jennifer flipped her hair over her shoulder, causing Imposter Jennifer to rejoice. Real Jennifer thought she spotted Jack outside.

Outside Jack wandered around calling Jennifer's name until Imposter Jennifer came rushing into his arms, pretending she just saw a clone of herself run out of the house. A tearful Jennifer gushed over the return of her love. Jack was still suspicious but when Jennifer tossed her hair over her shoulder, he happily melted into her arms, buying her story.
