Today is very moving! Kendall initially refuses the surgery after deciding that it is too soon for Baby Slater to be delivered. She later agrees to it, because she does not want him to die so she must acquiesce and prepare for his delivery. She is rushed to surgery after she insists on being awake for the C-section. She wants to be alert so that she knows that the baby is OK.

Before Kendall is moved to the operating room Erica burst in her room to let her know that Spike has been found. As Kendall is being wheeled into the delivery room, Spike is being wheeled into the hospital. When Spike passes by her in the hallway, she sees him, she yells out his name while reaching out her arms for him.

Kendall is being prepped for surgery. She is anxiously wanting to hear the baby cry. The doctor tells her that Baby Slater must have a breathing tube placed in him once he is delivered. Zach is in the delivery room with Kendall, and tells her to look at him, because she is about to have a baby. She asks Zach to hold her hand and to squeeze it tight.

Dr. Martin, before rushing into surgery, tells Erica that they have to deliver Kendall and Zach’s baby immediately. Erica wants to know what are their chances. She wants a guarantee that Dr. Martin is unprepared to give.

Ryan is at the accident site yelling at the rescue people to get his son, Spike. Ryan screams at Spike as he is being air lifted. He wants his son to know that he is there for him. He is trying to reassure him that everything is going to be OK. He promises this to Spike. The paramedics have determined that Greenlee has broken ribs and have a collapsed lung. They ask her to remain still as they air lift her. Ryan is not concentrating on Greenlee. His total attention is on his son.

Derick gives Jack details about the cliff being approximately a 20ft drop. Jack tells Erica about the accident, but she decides not to tell Kendall until after the surgery.

Krystal came to check on Adam after he saved Ava. He and Krystal are arguing about him being lonely in the house all by himself. She tells him that he is at fault for what is befalling him.

Jackson is inquiring about Greenlee. She then arrives. She asks her father about Spike. Jack explains to Aiden, Babe, Jaime and Di that Greenlee and Spike were in an accident, which is the reason for their delay. Aiden however, explains that the cliff was 20 miles north of where the girls turned around to bring Kendall back to Pine Valley Hospital. He goes on to explain that Greenlee was going away from Pine Valley, which proves she was taking Spike. Jack is devastated.

Ryan is crying on Annie’s shoulder. He is worried about doctors cutting his baby boy. He explains the scene, where Spike was found, to Annie. He tells her that glass was everywhere. Jonathan arrives at the hospital asking, “Have they found Spike. Greenlee did not get away”?

Dr. Martin explains to Ryan that Spike is alive because the safety seat kept him from major harm. He tells Ryan details of treatment for Spike. It has been determined that Spike is bleeding internally. They will be removing Spike’s ruptured spleen. Dr. martin is informed that they need a rare blood type for Spike which is “A-negative”, but the hospital is out. Jonathan notes that he is “A-negative” and will donate blood. Ryan promises Spike that he will hold him in his arms soon.

Kendall mentions to Zach that there was a lot of blood on Spike. She wants to know what happened to him. She asked, “What did Greenlee do”? Zach assures Kendall that doctors worked miracles with Spike, and they are about to work another one.

Tad enters the hospital. He asks Erica about Spike’s surgery and the C-section on Baby Slater. Erica says, “If both children survives, Kendall will have two sons. I must say “if” because no one will promise me anything. Kendall must have them both”. Kendall is happy that Spike is awake. She and Zach are still in the operating room. Zach insist that they had a miracle in Spike, and are about to have another one with Baby Slater. Zach states proudly that they have a family.

Josh receives an update from Erica on Spike, Kendall, and Baby Slater’s condition. She states joyfully that they have a miracle, and then corrects that statement by saying no, make that two.

Baby Slater is blue, but born alive. Kendall begs to see him. The doctors insist that he need to be put in an incubator right away. Kendall tells Zach to check on both babies for her. Josh comes over to the nursery to ask about Baby Slater. Zach tells him that Baby Slater is very tiny, but he has a steady heartbeat, and that he fits into the palm of his hand. Zach tells Josh that he has seen this type of thing before, but he is a businessman, and he doesn’t get it. Zach says he doesn’t understand it, and he doesn’t get it, because he does not see miracles in business. Josh tells Zach that he survived his father, and Kendall survived serious injuries. He told Zach that his and Kendall genes make miracles.

Spike is in surgery. Annie is attempting to calm Ryan down. She reminds him that if he made it through Spike’s prematurity, then he'll make it through his surgery. Ryan asks are these the only options: Makes it through this or not.

The doctors order antibiotics for Baby Slater.
Ryan is comforted by Annie, and Jonathan. Ryan is berating himself for wanting to hand Spike over to Greenlee. As a parent, Ryan’s first responsibility should have been to his child, he is regrettable that he forgot that when dealing with Greenlee.

Jack tells Greenlee that Spike is in surgery, Greenlee asks about Kendall and Baby Slater. Jack tells her that Baby Slater is so small.

Erica barges into the recovery room to see Kendall. Erica tells Kendall about Spike. He's still in surgery. Kendall is shouting, “ fix Spike”. Erica soothes her. Kendall yells that they have to save her baby boy. Erica tells her she is holding her hand, and Bianca is holding the other even though she is in France.

Dr. Martin comes out to tell them that are done done with Spike.

Ryan wants to hold Spike so that he knows that Ryan is there. Annie tells Ryan that Spike knows he is there. Josh comes up and asks about Spike; Ryan tells him they repaired his spleen. Josh says that is good anytime they can save an organ. Ryan asks about Kendall's baby. Josh says he's small, his skin is translucent, his lungs do not work and he intestines do not work. Josh calls Baby Slater a fighter and insists that no one is going to let him go without a fight.


Zach is looking through the window at Baby Slater. Erica tells Zach that they are taking Kendall back to her room. Zach ask Erica to stay with Baby Slater for a while. Zach leaves to visit Kendall. Erica tells baby Slater that he is so loved.

Greenlee talks to Jack about Baby Slater. She wants to know if he is going to make it. Jack honestly says that he does not know, because it is too soon to tell. Greenlee is hysterical because she was bringing Spike back. She confesses that, out loud, to Jack.

Kendall and Zack are talking to Dr. Martin about Spike. He tells her about the ruptured spleen. A chaplain enters the room, and asks about a christening for Baby Slater. Kendall is surprised because she didn't request one. She asks if Zach requested the chaplain. Erica walks in and informs them that she requested the chaplain, because she thought it best under the circumstances. Kendall loses control as she directs her anger toward Erica. She yells, “A christening means that he would never make it home to be with his family. It also means that he would never be christened with his family and family friends in attendance”. She screamed at Erica to get out. Erica clearly did not mean any harm, and said as much. Kendall, out of control, started screaming for her babies. Dr. Martin instructed the nurses to give her a sedative. Zack loudly tells Erica that her daughter needs her right now, and wonders why did she call a chaplain. Zach questions what good a chaplain would do right now.

Adam ordered flowers to be sent to the Slater’s. He instructed that the card read, “My thoughts are with you and your family”.

Krystal and Babe meet at the hospital. Babe gives Krystal an update of the baby’s condition. Krystal tells Babe details about her visit with Adam.

Jaime asks about Baby Slater’s condition. Tad tells Jaime about Baby Slater, and also tells him that he needs a hug. Tad calls Jaime a nitwit by indicating that he is the one in medical school, thus he should be telling Tad about the baby’s condition. They laugh it off.

Zach and Josh are back with Baby Slater. Zack needs to be with Kendall, but Baby Slater needs him too. He tells Josh that he should be with Kendall. Josh volunteers to check on Kendall for Zach. He starts to leave, but Zach calls him back, then the two hug.
