Early the next day, Marissa was moved to a private room. JR was still on the run, and a guard remained outside her room. After passing through security, visitors made their way back to see her. Everyone was anxious for JR to be found and for both women to finally be safe. Balloons and flowers soon filled every inch of her room. Each visitor was relieved to see the life return to the redhead's eyes along with her smile. They were equally relieved to see the smile return to Bianca's face. They promised both they would check on their children, and left after making them both promise to call if they needed anything.

Kendall returned for the day to be with both women and gave them an update on the kids. She stopped by their home on her way back to the hospital to grab a few things for the both of them. With some help from Marissa, she was able to convince Bianca to leave her girlfriend long enough to change and get something to eat. Kendall promised not to budge from the redhead's side until she returned. This gave her a few minutes to talk to Marissa. Kendall had been informed by both Krystal and Erica of Marissa's feeling of guilt. Her job was to reinforce the fact that none of this was Marissa's fault, and if she closed Bianca out in the name of her safety, it would be the biggest mistake of her life. What she found was little resistance from the redhead. Marissa had accepted, by this time, that JR and JR only was to blame. She knew that Bianca needed her as much as she needed Bianca. If she left and gave her girlfriend up, JR would win, and that was something that was never going to happen. They were a package deal. If he messed with one, he was taking on the other. As Marissa looked around the room, she realized that JR would be taking on all of Pine Valley as well.

Bianca returned after a break that was all too short, but Kendall and Marissa would take what they could get. Kendall left to call Zach and check on things on at home. Jessie stopped by to get their statements and give them an update on the investigation. The bullet removed from Marissa matched the caliber of the gun that JR was reported to have. That, along with all of the other evidence, pointed the finger of guilt directly at JR. Jessie left and checked on the guard on the way out. He had one other stop to make before leaving the hospital.

JR watched from his hiding place in the supply closet as Jessie spoke with the guard outside of Marissa's room. He couldn't believe that she was still alive. He could barely contain his anger at both women. They managed to ruin everything for him! Bianca took Marissa from him, and now both of them were taking his son away! No! They weren't going to get away with this! JR closed the door and checked his gun. He still had 5 bullets left. That was more than enough to take care of them. He might not get AJ now, but he was going to make sure that they didn't either even if it was the last thing he ever did!

He cracked the door again. The guard had started to walk back and forth a little. He saw him glance in the direction of the restroom. JR crossed his fingers and hoped he was about to get his chance. All he needed was a couple of minutes, and this would all be over. A smile curled on his face as he thought of what it would be like to see the fear in both of their eyes when they saw him. Fear. He wanted that to be their last thought. Knowing that they weren't safe from him. Knowing that he won. He checked on the guard on the again. He saw him glance around and quickly make his way to the restroom.

This was it. What he desperately wanted, for both women to be gone from the face of the Earth, was about to happen. He made his way out of his hiding place and crossed to Marissa's room. Through the window of her room, he could see Bianca's back to him obstructing his view of the redhead. It didn't matter. He was going to be up close and personal this time. There would be no chance of missing either target.

He quietly opened the door and stepped inside the room. He raised the gun. "I can't believe you survived. Well, don't worry about it. This time, you won't."

As he aimed at the pair, Bianca spun around and Marissa moved from the bed. Guns were in both of their hands, and they were pointed at him! What the hell? He looked closer and realized it wasn't either woman! Two undercover officers were dressed like them. Jessie and the guard burst through the door behind him.

"Drop it JR! Drop the gun!"

JR was stunned and couldn't stop the guard from knocking the gun from his hand. Jessie quickly had pulled his arms behind him and had him handcuffed.

"JR Chandler, you are under arrest for attempted for murder." Jessie continued to read him his rights.

"How? I saw Marissa moved to this room! I saw Bianca with her! NO! This isn't right! This isn't how it's supposed to end! They can't win!"

JR was still screaming as the officers drug him away. Jessie picked up the gun and left the room. He stopped when he saw his wife and Jake standing in the hallway. "Thank you for the use of the room. We'll have the camera equipment removed and have the room released back to you as soon as possible. Tell Marissa and Bianca that I'll be back to check on them later after we have JR locked up tight." He gave Angie a quick kiss and followed the still screaming JR out of the hospital.

In another part of the hospital, Bianca climbed into bed next to Marissa. She held her girlfriend tightly as both drifted off to sleep. A smile was on both of their faces as music played softly. On the hospital nightstand, was the music box Bianca had given Marissa.
