"Liza revealed her true intentions to Erica. She wasn't just there to poke at Erica for her drug problem, but she wanted to offer Erica her own talk show (again). Erica wasn't the slightest bit interested, especially after Liza said that Erica would have to get a ntoe from her doctor saying that she was free of any mind altering substances. Upstairs, Dr. Kinder recalled his first meeting with Liza. It was at a party somewhere and Jonathan approached a lonely Liza and started flirting. After Erica tossed Liza out of the house, Jonathan came downstairs and recanted a tale of how evil Liza is and how she sued him for malpractice because she had the hots for him. Hmmm...for some reason I just don't by Dr. Kinder's stories. Taylor backed away from her story of Noah murdering Louie when pressed by Jack and Derek. She said that she wouldn't testify (but Jack said he'd force her to testify) and then said she'd change her story and say Noah's telling the truth (but Jack reminded her she'd go to jail for perjury). Why the sudden change of heart? Taylor just found out that Noah will be charged with first degree murder and not a five year manslaughter charge. Noah told Trevor (from his jail cell) that Taylor was poking around at Wildwind before the almost-wedding and said how she asked Noah to run away with her. Armed with this information, Trevor tried to break Taylor and get her to confess that she's lying about Noah killing Louie, but she still stuck by her story. But she also added taht she still didn't want to testify. What a confused woman that Taylor is. Michael explained his reason for announcing his homosexuality in class, but the angry mob of parents didn't care for his reasoning. Palmer of all people, came to Michael's defense. He said that if Mike was heterosexual, none of the parents assembled would be hellbent on proving he'd be a danger to their daughters, so why does Mike's homosexuality mean he's a threat to teenage boys. Palmer tried to get Opal to leave the meeting with him, but she remained behind. Palmer's parting words to his wife were "Don't disappoint me." Hector laid into Michael as a bad teacher, even though the principal said Michael's class has nearly 100% attendance and all their scores are well above national averages. Isabelle told Dixie that she has poor morals because she doesn't condemn Michael for being gay. Someone even told Michael that he isn't a "good" gay man because he is manly and doesn't wear pumps, pearls, and skirts. Near the end of the meeting, Hector demanded Michael's resignation. When he declined, Enid said that she'd make sure the school board voted him out. Jason stormed back to the studio after the meeting and started drinking again. Liza walked in on him and asked what his problem was. In a rage, Jason yelled out that Dixie had dropped him "for some queer." Laura, Scott, Anita, Bobby, and Kevin all wanted to know what happened in the meeting (Mike chased them out because he said that meeting would be for adults only). Michael said that it wasn't related to the history lesson, so it wasn't any of their business. Michael unrolled the map in front of the chalkboard and the faces of the class dropped when they saw that someone had written "Faggot" on the board." - Dan J Kroll for Soap Central
