After Alison told Barbara about her suspicion that Gwen and Will could be adopting Cole and Sofie's baby, Barbara lied to Alison and then alerted Iris that they have a problem. Barbara eventually revealed to Gwen and Will that the birth mother is ready to sign the adoption papers.
In the coming days, Barbara's deception gets exposed. Following Barbara's attempt to stop Will from calling Alison about the baby, Alison announces to Gwen and Will that there's something they need to know about the adoption. This prompts Gwen to confront Barbara and Iris (Terri Garber).

Meanwhile, Lily is worried that her relationship with Dusty is going nowhere and urges Dusty to forget about his feelings for Emily (
