"Erica's flight out of Betty Ford landed her at the Palm Springs airport. She scheduled a flight to Seattle to visit Bianca, but she didn't plan on what she saw while at the airport. A nervous Erica held one of her pain pills firmly in her hand, ready to take it. The lounge's Tv set aired the Cutting Edge---and Erica saw Laurel get killed. Frantically, Erica paged Dr. Kinder. Dr. Kinder called minutes later and Erica told him how she couldn't stay at Betty Ford because she didn't like the rules and she was now totally cured. Dimitri found out just before his luncheon meeting with Gloria that Erica went AWOL from the center, but Glo told Dimmie that Erica can't be forced to stay in drug rehab. It's treatment, not prison. As Johnthan fielded his call from Erica, he watched on at Dimitri. After finding out that Erica did try to reach her estranged husband but couldn't get through, Dr. Kinder told Erica that she should stay at the airport and not go anywhere. He'd be there as soon as possible. Just as Tad and Dixie were about to patch things up, Opal called out for Tad to put on the TV. Of course this meant now that Dix would see the airing of Laurel's death. She began so enraged that she packed her bags and headed off to spend the night at Myrtle's with Michael. Michael, by the way, had also seen the show and could not believe that WRCW would be so concerned with ratings and not give a damn about the pain they are causing to Laurel's loved ones. Janet battled the little voice inside her head that told her to join the "dark side." The voice (that of "Mirror Janet") told Janet that she had tried unsuccessfully to kill Laurel in the past so she should just accept the blame for her death. And here's something that dispels the myth that Laurel was killed by Janet: The voice acknowledged that Janet did not kill Laurel, but she was simply accused of it because everyone in Pine Valley hates her. Laura was arrested for shoplifting a $100+ cashmere sweater from a boutique. She was immediately arrested on the spot and taken off to (you guessed it) the Pine Valley Prison where she would share a cell with Janet."
