"Mateo visited his family and told them that he had good news. The Santos clan is due for some good tidings and what Mateo had for them would more than make up for their recent run of misfortune. Knowing that sometimes words are not enough, he opened up the front door and allowed Hector, Isabella, and Anita to see Noah and Julia. Julia ran towards her loved ones and embraced them as Mateo explained that they never were really dead. Mateo then went over to Taylor's apartment to start implementing phase two of his plan. When he got there, he found Corinne telling Taylor that she has been talking to Noah. Taylor, of course, thought Corinne had a few too many sips of her herbal tea and didn't believe a word of what she was being told. Corinne insisted that she is being told from beyond the grave that Taylor must confess to her many crimes. Mateo booted Corinne out of the apartment and told Taylor that she should get some rest. Apparently Taylor is convinced that Corinne placed a hex on her because she hasn't been able to sleep for days. When Taylor was fast asleep in her dreamworld all was set for a close encounter of the dead kind. Noah flipped a switch in the apartment building's fusebox to shut off power to Taylor's apartment. Mateo then fled as Noah then slipped into the apartment. Taylor awoke to find Noah's "ghost" telling her that the time has come for her to free his spirit by telling the truth. And, in case she had any ideas of fleeing the apartment, he said he will follow her around wherever she goes. Anita whisked over to Cortlandt Manor to tell Bobby the good news that her sister and Noah were not dead. When she got there she was on the heels of some earth shattering news. Kevin asked Kelsey if Bobby was the father of her child, she said that he wasn't. Bobby, however walked in on the conversation and hadn't heard everything. He immediately went into a babbling spree which did implicate him as the father---he said Kelsey was lying and that he only slept with her once so he couldn't be the father. Kevin said he wasn't going to tell anyone about this news. Bobby laid into Kelsey for her obvious attempts to try to get Opal to invite her to live at Cortlandt Manor. Kelsey denied all Bobby's allegations, but eventually she did get her wish. Opal said that she couldn't reach Joe and since it was getting late, Kelsey might as well spend the night with them. Marian professed her love for her daughter and said that playing the tape proves she loves Liza. Liza didn't agree and said she no longer wants anything to do with Marian. The final blow came when Liza called up security and asked them to remove Marian from the premises. Tad pleaded with Dixie to forigve him, but Dixie said she could no longer have a lifelong committment to someone she cannot totally trust. Tad recounted his one night stand with Liza and said that he only slept with her because Dixie had turned her back on him. Dixie took this as an attempt by Tad to shift the blame to her. Dixie sadly informed Tad that she has decided to leave Pine Valley and accept the teaching job in Pigeon Hollow and that She and Junior will be leaving later that evening. Tad was devastated that his wife was leaving immediately and not giving them a chance to work out their problems. "There'll always be a place in my heart" for Tad, Dixie sobbed. As Dixie prepared to say farewell, a tearful Tad begged Dixie not to say "goodbye." But Dixie said she had no choice and that she has loved Tad for such a long time, he will never disappear from her heart. Tad reached out to try to kiss Dixie, but she turned and walked away. The moment the two had been trying do desperately to avoid was now imminent. Dixie said her goodbye and Tad walked slowly out the door. Shortly afterward while Dixie was telling Adam Junior that they would be leaving town, the doorbell rang and on the other side of the door Liza waited to have a few words with Dixie."
