"Tad and Liza bopped around an affiliates gathering in New York City in an effort to promote the Cutting Edge. Liza had a little bit of a different itnerary, though. She snuck around and told the gathered crowd that Tad was after her job so that they would turn on him. Madge Sinclair, one of the assembled guests, was appalled to hear that Tad was trying to manhandle Liza, so Liza won part of her battle. Liza adjourned from the party early, causing Tad to have to hunt her down in her bedroom to ask her why she is trying to turn the affiliates against him. Liza quickly moved from the part of the station manager to the role of seductress as she tried to get Tad to fall into bed with her. But this time it was for more than just twenty minutes of pleasure, Liza had a tape recorder hidden to record all of Tad's confessions about sleeping with Liza. Lunching with Michael to celebrate his court victory, Dixie became concerned with Tad's trip to the Big Apple after Marian paid some unsolicited comments to her. Marian, who in one fell swoop congratulated Michael for his court win and said how upset she was because he's gay and she cannot sleep with him, asked Dixie if she heard from Tad and asked if it made her uncomfortable that he was with Liza. Before Marian could poke and prod Dixie into total discomfort, rescue ranger Adam came by and yanked Marian out of the way. Adam laid into Marian and warned her that if she doesn't quit the games, she'll be in for a rude awakening courtesy of Monsieur Chandler. Janet managed to talk Laura into returning to Brooke's, but Janet used this opportunity to do a little more of her spy work. Janet slipped into Brooke's house and started to look for Brooke-artifacts, but Brooke was home and asked Janet why she was there. Janet explained that she was there to return Laura. Brooke excused herself to go and tuck Jamie in bed and Janet seized the moment to snatch up Brooke's diary. Laura apologized to Brooke (with some prodding from Janet) and headed to her room. Pierce barged in and quickly shut up when Brooke called out that she had a visitor. Pierce apologized, but Janet said she had better be getting back to the cabin so the two could spend time together. Laura headed to the kitchen and asked why Pierce was there. The twosome lied and said that Pierce was there to talk to Laura. She told him that she had already been "scolded" by Scott, Derek, Brooke, and Janet and didn't need another lecture. Brooke saw Pierce out and the two agreed that they couldn't let Laura know that Pierce left Janet because of Brooke because it could devastate her."
