Jennifer, still wearing the hideous green "designer" dress, comes into the metro with Jordan Sinclair on their non-date. Jordan steps behind the bar to fill in for the underage Aaron, impressing Jennifer further with his versatility. Relaxing a little later over champagne, Jordan reveals some details about his childhood in an orphanage. When Jennifer asks him if he has looked for his biological parents, he tells her that he is only interested in his future. The two have a wonderful time making fashion jokes, but they agree that his dating the boss' daughter would create problems at work. Jennifer diffuses the sexual tension temporarily by joking that she will ask Barbara to adopt him.
At the same time, Barbara is at the Lakeview Hotel bar, confiding her fears about her blurred vision to Dr. Walker Daniels. He warns her not to drive and offers to take her to Memorial Hospital for an examination, but Barbara becomes quite agitated, insisting, "No one must know about this!" She goes on to explain that, since she is the only designer for Barbara Ryan Originals, no one will buy their designs if the word gets out that she is losing her vision. She insists that she must keep the company going for the sake of all three of her children, especially poor Will in the mental hospital. Walker tells her that she could be in danger of having a stroke, and that she must be examined even if she has to go to a hospital in Chicago. Barbara tells him that she cannot confide in anyone and ask them to accompany her, and she begs Dr. Daniels to go with her. Walker insists that he is too busy, then she begs him to examine her privately, outside the hospital. At this moment, Jennifer and Jordan come up to their table. Walker covers for Barbara and chivalrously offers to escort her to her room. Jordan and Jennifer, the sexual tension back in full force, reluctantly say good night.
