"Laura used french bread as her excuse to slip out of the cabin and let Pierce and Janet have some time alone. Shortly after she left, however, all hell broke loose. Janet tried to make the mood romantic, but Pierce said there is no romance left between him and Janet. Begging for his affection, Janet began kissing and caressing her former lover and pleaded for him to make love to her. Her pleas went unasnwered. "I never said I loved you," Pierce informed Janet and added that he only had sex with Janet because it was an act of affection and because he and Janet both needed to be with someone. This caused Janet to flip out and she told Pierce that he'd better leave the cabin and regain his freedom. Pierce walked out and headed immediately for Laura. Breaking her curfew was not the only thing that caused Brooke to give Laura the third degree. When Brooke found out that Laura was trying to hook Pierce and Janet up, she quickly jumped in to tell Laura how futile the attempt was. Whether or not Brooke believes her own advice or if she is just trying to block any and all attempts that might lead to a Pierce-Janet reunion remains to be seen. Brooke told Laura how her daughter, also named Laura, tried to team Brooke and Tom Cudahy back together when they separated. Laura was unmoved. When Pierce showed up at the door a few minutes later, Laura was puzzled as to why he was not at the cabin. Pierce told Laura that the magical summer spent at the cabin was all an illusion and everyone had moved on with their lives. Laura refused to accept that Pierce and Janet would not get back together. Jonathan showed up at the hunting lodge in an effort to stand up for Erica. He wasn't standing long after Dimitri punched him and threw him across the room. If it weren't for Maria barging in to interrupt the fighting, Dimitri probably would have pummelled Jonathan. Jonathan let loose with a barrage of insults designed to set Dimitri's temper flaring... and it worked. Again Maria stepped in to keep Dimmie away from the good doctor. Finally Jonathan left, but his parting words to Dimitri let Mr Marick know that he is Dimitri's main competition for Erica's hand. Myrtle was disappointed to hear that the patching-up with Dimitri turned into a shredding. Erica broke down in tears as she told her second-mother figure that her life without Dimitri has made her think of returning to the pills. Erica reassured Myrt that she was not going to fall off the wagon, but said that Dimitri is her everything. Perhaps a few days away will clear everyone's vision. Erica packed herself a bag and told Myrtle that she was heading to Seattle to spend time with Bianca. Speaking of packing, Julia's body was loaded on to a plane and headed off to Pine Valley before Mateo, Noah, and Corinne could stop the flight. Shortly after they failed to rescue Julia, Jack, Isabella, and Taylor arrived at the airport with Lila. The trio decided to return to Pine Valley. Upset that she and Mateo could not be on the same flight with Julia, Isabella asked Taylor if she could find purchase tickets for the next flight home. Since Noah cannot exactly fly on the plane (he has no passport---and besides he supposed to be dead!!) Corinne enlisted a friend to help hide Noah in a crate. This leaves two what-ifs to answer. What if they don't get back to Pine Valley in time to revive Julia and what if the air runs out inside Noah's box? "
