Jason brings Tracy home from the airport. Then Tracy tells Jason that Russ isn't home and didn't sleep at home last night. Jamie tells Cecile that Mac and Brian are going with Rachel to the Women's Correctional Institution. When Jamie tells Cecile that Mac and Rachel are not getting back together, Cecile plants the idea in Jamie's head that his future with Cory Publishers may be uncertain. Ada tells Rachel she is going with her to the prison. Rachel asks Ada not to talk to Mac about understanding why she kept the parentage a secret. Then Mac joins them and when Rachel leaves to go see Amanda, Ada and Mac agree not to discuss the baby for Rachel's sake. Tracy calls Russ's office and learns from Olivia that she and Russ worked all night. Tracy asks her to tell Russ that she is home and going over to see Rachel. Then Jason calls Olivia and asks her out for an early evening and she accepts. Jamie tells Cecile he doesn't blame Mac for being upset with Rachel but if Mac doesn't want him to be his heir anymore that is fine with him. Then Liz arrives. When Jamie leaves, Cecile tells Liz that Mac and Rachel aren't back together and Liz tells Cecile that he doesn't know what will happen to Jamie this time.
