At the Deveraux house, Jack, Jennifer, Abby, Maggie, and Alice picnicked in the living room. Marlena stopped by and Jack asked to speak to her later. After Jennifer asked Marlena about news from Germany and Jennifer confirmed the news that Max Brady was back in town, Jack tried to go check Patrick's progress on his packing. Wanting to head off trouble, Jennifer volunteered to check for him.

Out in the garage, Jennifer thanked Patrick again for helping her while Jack was away. Jennifer swore that if Patrick gave Jack time he would appreciate Patrick. Mid-discussion, Jennifer fell over some boxes and a shirtless Patrick caught her and kept her from falling to the floor. Unhappily, Jack came into the garage to check on the burgers cooking on the grill and was livid. Jack yelled at Patrick to unhand his wife and get the hell out. Patrick sulked off and Jennifer begged Jack to relax before returning to the house. Later, Marlena brought out the hamburger buns for toasting and a frustrated Jack blurted out that he was dying. When Jack filled her in on the blood disease, Marlena strongly advised him to tell Jennifer so that she would be prepared for losing him. However, Jack was determined to let her enjoy her new found happiness for a little longer before he would have to tell her. Marlena stuck to her guns and reminded Jack that Jennifer was his wife and partner and had a right to know.

Back inside the Deveraux living room, Maggie and Jennifer discussed the return of the once shy Max to town. The conversation soon turned to his brother Frankie, and a reminiscing Jennifer told Abby that although her relationship with Frankie was serious, it was innocent. The group began to eat, and Jack grudgingly gave Patrick a burger after Jennifer insisted Patrick join the picnic. Still waiting for Chelsea and Max to return from getting ice cream, Abby ran to the door when the doorbell rang. To everyone's surprise, Frankie was at the door and celebrated a joyful reunion with Jennifer.

While making out in Max's car, Chelsea pulled away from Max when he started to take off her shirt. Max apologized saying that he misread the situation and misread her. Chelsea questioned why she pulled away as Max bought the ice cream for the picnic. On the drive home, Chelsea asked Max if he ever had a serious girlfriend and said no. When Max asked if she ever found the right guy, Chelsea said she thought so but that he was older and did not know she existed. Max thought the guy was crazy not to go for such a great "kid," which annoyed Chelsea. When Max said she was afraid, a determined Chelsea told him to drive to the lakeside make-out area. After confirming that Chelsea knew what she was getting into, the two began to passionately kiss in the car by the lake.
