Bobbie adopts B.J. years later, after Tania dies in a car accident and Bobbie marries Tony Jones.

Seven-year-old B.J. was left brain-dead after her school van was hit by a drunk driver in May 1994. Her father made the decision to donate B.J.'s organs, and her heart was transplanted into her ailing cousin Maxie Jones. In a moving scene, Tony laid his head on Maxie's chest and listened to his daughter's heartbeat within his niece. Later, Tony sat beside B.J.'s body (still on the operating table); he asked her to take his own broken heart in exchange, and keep it safe.
