"Janet told Adam that Pierce had left her. Adam warned his one-time wife's sister that if she even thinks of having a breakdown and throwing someone down a well that she'll have to answer to him. Janet swore that she wasn't going to "lose it" again and that she had already placed the blame where it belonged. Adam, who took that to mean that Janet was blaming herself for her fall-out with Pierce, said that Janet was on the right track to starting a new life for herself. But when Adam said that Pierce and Brooke were not an item, Janet couldn't help but chuckle. Pierce, meanwhile, was telling Brooke how he really felt for her. He was interrupted, however, by Phoebe who dropped by to pay a visit to Brooke. Pierce seized the opportunity to ask Pheebs if Janet could stay at the cabin (since Phoebe does own the property) after he moves out. Well Phoebe wanted no part of the murderess. She said that Janet had better get packing. But the Brooke stepped in to remind her aunt how Janet had saved Jamie. She also added that the people of Pine Valley have treated Janet poorly for a long time now and if Janet had returned the same sentiment, she wouldn't have jumped in Willow Lake to save a drowning child. Phoebe finally came around and said that Janet could stay. In fact, Phoebe took a little trip up to the cabin to let Janet know that she could stay. Liza was infuriated when Tad gave an unapproved speech at the end of the Cutting Edge, saying how he apologizes to the Dillon and Delaney families for Laurel's shooting. This turned into a feud for power that eventually was settled by station owner, Mr Chandler. As it turns out, Adam said that the bickering between Liza and Tad has gotten way out of hand and to settle the problem. Liza's job is now up for grabs. Adam issued the challenge that whoever can do a better job ratings-wise will get the job of station manager. Tad and Liza will alternate days as producer of the show and at the end of the cycle whoever had the better ratings gets the job. As an added bonus if Liza wins (since the job is already hers) Tad has to sign a two year contract to host the Cutting Edge with no way to get out of it. The attention finally shifted to Michael's trial. With Trevor as his attorney, person after person was called to the stand to state their viewpoints on why Michael was dismissed from his job. While Michael was on the stand, the opposing counsel got him to admit that he did sign an agreement upon starting his teaching stint that said he must get all material approved or he will be terminated from his duties. Prior to the trial Anita overheard her father, Hector, talking to Enid Nelson on the phone and admitting that the only reason Michael was fired was because he's gay. But it was Palmer who would expose this truth. Saying that he finally realized Michael's homosexuality was what got Laurel killed, Palmer masqueraded as one of Enid and Hector's cohorts, and got the twosome to admit that Mike was fired for his sexual preference. On the stand, Palmer exposed this in open court. But when Hector took the stand and swore on the Bible that he said no such thing, things started to heat up. Now keep in mind that Hector is a religious man and just lied after swearing on the Bible. Anita confronted her father outside the courtroom and asked him how he could do such a thing. In the cliffhanger of the show, Janet had another of her "chat sessions" with Mirror Janet. But when Janet looked into a mirror, the now famous Mirror Janet wasn't looking back at her---Brooke was."
