Music Manager Gordon would like to sign Thorne to a solo contract with Decadent Records. Thorne refuses because he wants to be considerate of his fiancée, though. Macy, who overhears the conversation, then tries to convince Thorne that he cannot throw away his talent just because her dream of a singing career has ended. Stephanie and Eric visit Jack at Cedars. They learn that surgery in which Jack got a quadruple bypass went well. However, Dr. Herbert warns them that Jack's condition remains serious and he might not survive. Eric and Stephanie worry that his daughter's death was too much for the widower. On the flight to L.A., Taylor surprises her seatmate when she changes her wardrobe from classic Arabian to fully western style. After landing, Taylor - who is nervous about coming home after so many months away - immediately goes to see her father at the hospital where she almost runs into her former in-laws. Taylor then sneaks into Jack's room and is deeply shocked by his condition.
