"Adam met with Nora Buchanan, Liza's attorney from Llanview, and tried to convince her that her case was not winable. On the contrary, Nora replied. She thinks the case is very winnable and that the media coverage would bring down WRCW. Tad was supposed to have dinner with Joe, but the recent developments forced Tad to cancel. But he confided in his father that Liza had brought charges against him---and that he slept with Liza. Of course Joe was stunned, but Tad "explained" his dirty away by saying that he was lonely and upset by Laurel's death. Erica and Opal taunted and tormented Liza as they all worked out at the local health club. The razzing was quite pointed, but Liza wasn't the least bit titled by the ladies' comments. Instead she told Erica and Opal that they had better be on the lookout because she will have the last word in the matter of her firing from WRCW. Liza highstepped her way over to WRCW where she walked in on Joe and Tad's conversation. Joe quickly left at the sight of Liza. Before the two could get into a major argument, Adam came in and brought news of major station changes. Based on Nora's description of a media blitz against Tad and WRCW, Adam reinstated Liza as the station manager. In protest Tad quit, but Liza reminded him that his contract did not allow for his resigning as Cutting Edge host. In an effort to keep the peace, Adam gave Tad total creative control over the show---host, producer, writer, whatever. Reluctantly, Tad agreed. Liza returned home where she toasted herself and her victory over Tad. In return for her job back, Adam told Liza that she has to drop her lawsuit. Liza agreed. On Erica's behalf, Myrtle presented Dimitri with cufflinks made out of the buttons from his Count Andrassy outfit (from when the two were dressed to the nines in Hungary.) Janet followed Jonathan to his mysterious hide away to try and determine who the mystery woman was. Before she could get any clues, she had to run off to avoid being discovered. Whoever the woman is, her condition is drastically changing, something that has Dr. Kinder very concerned. As Erica got dressed up for her romantic evening with Dimitri, Jonathan pulled up into the driveway and burst into Erica's bedroom without warning. Myrtle and Opal, who were there to help Erica get ready, urged Erica to give him the boot, but Erica declined. She tried to get it through to her former doctor that she is very much in love with Dimitri, but Jonathan was not about to give up the hunt for the woman he says he loves. Dimitri showed up to drive Erica back to Wildwind for their dinner, but when he walked into the bedroom, Jonathan grabbed Erica and kissed her."
