04/04/96 Erica Returns From Betty Ford







"Erica returned to Linden House from her 28 day stay in Betty Ford. When she got back she found a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for her. Erica rushed to the flowers, gushing how Dimitri still loved her only to find out that the flowers were sent by Jonathan. Erica tried to convince Myrtle that Jonathan was a good person and not the devil that Myrtle (and everyone else) thinks he is. Erica defended Dr Kinder by telling Myrtle that he selflessly devoted his time at the shelter. The recently released drug addict headed to the shelter to speak to Jonathan, but when she got there Gloria told her that Jonathan's schedule had changed and that he wasn't there today. Just as Erica was about to leave, Dimitri walked in. Of course she just couldn't tell him that she was there to see Jonathan because that would cause all kinds of termoil. So she asked Gloria to cover for her and not say that she was there to see Dr. Feelgood. When Dimmie asked Erica why she was there, Gloria jumped in to say that Erica wanted to give a donation to the shelter, but since Brooke wasn't in, she just left a message. Erica asked Dimitri if they could go back to Linden and have a discussion, but Mr Marick informed his estranged wife that he was having lunch with Gloria. Even though he didn't know that that Erica was looking for him, Jonathan had plans to seek out Erica. Back at his office, Dr Kinder received a message (via new receptionist Janet) that his landlord demanded payment immediately or he'd be evicted. Janet, in between typing up reports and answering the phones, worked on forging Brooke's signature and handwriting. Dr Kinder came across a photocopies page of Brooke's journal and asked Janet was she was up to. Janet covered for herself by saying she was working on her own personal journal. Dr. Kinder, who may or may not have believed her story, told her to make sure that she doesn't do personal work on the job. The two then headed out for their lunch breaks. Dr. Kinder ended up at Linden House, but he wasn't greeted very warmly. Erica thanked her ex-doctor for the flowers, but told him that he really shouldn't have bother. And another, she went on to say, she only has romantic interests in Dimitri and apologized if Johnny got any wrong notions. Dr. Kinder left and a short time later Dimitri finally showed up on her doorstep. Brooke and Pierce were in the middle of a visit when Trevor (with Jamie and Amanda) burst through the door. Brooke and Pierce looked like they had been caught in the act, but Trevor said all was okay. Okay until he heard that Pierce planned on telling Janet taht he left her for Brooke. Not a wise idea Trevor warned them because Janet is not exactly "Stable Mable." Pierce said that he wanted to tell Janet because in the long run it might help Laura. I have no idea how, but this is what they thought. The trio went outside to play with Amanda and Jamie and in slipped Janet through an ajar front door. But as she stood in the livingroom, they started to come back to the house. Noah and Julia finally reunited thanks to a little help from Corinne. The Jamaican set up a little hut on the shore for Noah and Julia to hide out in. Once inside Julia told Noah the whole story of Taylor, the waterfall, and how they are back together. Julia flipped over the waterfall and managed to swim to safety thus avoiding a watery ending. Taylor still remained collapsed on the floor of the forest---until someone picked her up and carried her off to safety."
