04/15/96 Mateo Finds Julia & Noah









"Papa Santos forced Anita to go to the hospital and get tested for veneral diseases because of her relationship with Bobby. Anita pleaded with her father not to embarass her this way and swore that she never had sex with Bobby. She even offered to take a home pregnancy test, but Hector didn't budge. Isabella rushed over to Maria to ask her to help her sister out and to tell her that the meeting she set up for Anita and Bobby wasn't the world's best idea. Maria said she had no idea that Anita and Bobby were fooling around and raced off to the hospital to try to aid her sister. Just before her mother arrived, Kelsey and Maria had a final showdown of sorts. Kelsey said that Maria hit the nail on the head when she said that Kelsey's time at Wildwind had passed. Maria panicked, thinking that Kelsey and the baby were headed out the door never to be seen again. But Kelsey handed Sam over to Maria and said that she was going to stay with her grandparents for a little while before moving on to other adventures. At the hospital, Palmer blasted Hector for being a narrow minded bigot and a bad father. Anita broke down in tears and seemed on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Palmer quickly placed a call to Bobby and asked him if Hector was right about his sleeping with Anita. Bobby told his grandfather that he didn't sleep with Anita and then he hung up and headed for the hospital. Maria and Bobby arrived at about the same time and both urged Hector to reconsider. Maria's words to her father didn't seem to do any good even after reminding Hector that he tried to pull the same thing to Julia when she was Anita's age and it only succeeded in pushing Julia away from the family. On the set of the Cutting Edge, Erica remained remarkably poised even as Marian, who called herself "Georgia" during the phone call, tried to push every and any of Erica's buttons. After the show was over, Tad informed Erica that he knew who the mysterious caller with the Southern accent was: Marian Colby. He teamed up with Dixie to try to hunt her down and ask why she tried to sabatoge the show. Marian refused to admit that she was responsible until Liza walked in on the trio. Liza forced her mother to take full responsibility for the phone call even though it was a joint venture. Tad thanked Marian for helping boost the show's ratings and then sauntered off with Dixie on his arm. Liza slammed the door and thanked her mother for taking the blame and said that she owes her big time. Erica and Dimitri continued to patch things up, but Jonathan poked his head in and asked Erica why she didn't walk off the set during Marian's questioning. Dimitri wasn't pleased to see Dr. Kinder, but Jonathan darted off quickly to see Liza when Erica broke the news that Marian was the person who placed the phone call. Jonathan erupted. He screamed, hollered, yelled, what ever you want to call it, at Liza for trying to put a black mark on Jonathan's name and warned her that if she continues to play games with him he will have no other choice than to tell the police what she did to his wife! Taylor thought that Julia and Noah were sleeping, but she quickly figured out that their silence was due to more than just sleep. Mateo and Jack burst into the cabana a few seconds later and also realized that something had gone terribly wrong. Matt tried to revive his sister, but Jack pulled him off and told him to give up. This led to Matt turning on Taylor and accusing her of killing Julia. Corinne arrived on the scene a few seconds later and showed Matt Julia's "suicide" letter. Jack suggested that they all leave Matt alone so he could call his parents and tell them the news. Corinne tried to have a few words with Matt, presumably to tell him about the faked death, but Jack wouldn't let her speak to him. Matt called home and received a worried Isabella. He tried to break the news to her, but a very bad connection ended the phone call before he could do so."
