"A new staffer at The Cutting Edge named Yolanda made quite a name for herself on her first day on the job. She spread rumours that Tad is a notorious ladies' man and will stop at nothing to commit adulterous affair after adulterous affair. But Yolanda's little stint as the gossip diva came to a sudden end when Dixie, who overheard Yolanda telling her tall tales, walked up to her and asked what she was squawking about. Yolanda when on and on telling how Tad does this and Tad does that. She asked Dix if she was a worker at The Cutting Edge to which Dix responded "sort of." She said that she was part of The Cutting Edge by marriage---marriage to Tad. Yolanda apologized for her badmouthing, but in not so many words Dixie told her to shove it. Tad was not pleased to hear of his reputation being tarnished, but he said it explained why everyone on TCE staff was giving him the cold shoulder. It took only the blink of an eye to figure out where the rumour started: Liza. Adam continued his repremanding of Liza for her childish games. He told her that she will not make any kind of character attacks on Tad and he will make sure that TCE host does the same. Adam then headed to Tad's office and told him that he has gotten himself into a very bad predicament because he couldn't keep his zipper closed and that if it weren't for Adam Junior, he'd fire Tad on the spot. The mention of the word zipper must have activated Marian's radar because she walked in on the two and wanted to know who's zipper they were talking about. A Cutting Edge spy listened in as Erica confessed to being responsible for the hit and run that Dr Kinder took responsibility for. The spy quickly made a call to Liza who seized the moment as a head start in her competition with Tad and ordered a camera crew down to the police station. Erica was gracious under the heavy scrutiny of an onlooking television audience and explained everything that happened the night of the accident. Well, not her sleeping with Jonathan. Erica was not as friendly after the cameras stopped rolling and Liza asked Erica is she would appear on an episode of TCE. She flat out refused to make even a cameo appearance. Dimitri, who walked in shortly before the camera crew arrived, told Erica that he was never prouder of his wife and that she handled herself percfectly. No decision was made on Erica's fate for her part in the hit-and-run, but she could be facing jail time. Jack's next destination on his hunt for Noah and Julia was the Jamaican police headquarters. The police chief was of little help, but Jack did get a break when Mateo and Taylor wandered in. Taylor remained unconscious. Jack pressed Matt for answers on why he was in Jamaica. Matt explained how he is trying to find Julia and Noah and prove that they are innocent. He also let known of the little game he's playing with Taylor. Jack began questioning Taylor when she awoke on why she was in Jamaica. Kind of repitivive, huh? Noah awoke and swatted the tarantula off of his chest, but not before the spider bit him. Julia rushed off to try to find help, but no cars would stop for her. As Julia finally made it to town, the effects of the tarantula's venom slowly set in on Noah. A tip to the poliec let the chief no that someone matching Julia's description walked into a doctor's office across town. Taylor's mouth dropped and she gawked in total shock."
