"Being in charge of a major international cosmetics company doesn't mean you know hoe to cook and Hayley certainly proved that. Julia tried her best to coach Hayley on the joys of cooking, but nothing Ms Vaughan concocted seemed to turn out quite right. Give her the "A" for effort, because she really did try to said that she feels jealous knowing that Mateo is used to Isabella's wonderful home cooking. Finally Julia had to answer to at least one of Hayley's problems. She handed her a jar of Peanut Butter and said that Mateo's favorite dish is Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches.
Noah took a job as bartender at Hal's. He may not know it, but he has a lot in common with Hayley. Hayley can't cook and Noah doesn't know how to mix drinks. The Santos helping hand reached out again as Mateo stopped by and offered to taste test some of Noah's drinks. He probably should have only had a sip of each because he ended up drunker than drunk. Derek wandered in to Hal's and talked to the two and made sure that Mateo wasn't driving home. Derek did, however, get to see Mateo again as he was picked up by the police for committing an SWI (Singing While Intoxicated). Hayley rushed down to the police station to pick up her boyfriend at which time Mateo slipped the Santos family engagement ring on her finger. All the fears about her wanting a larger diamond were proven to be unfounded as Hayley fell in love with the ring immediately.
Looking like Mata Hari, Julia, bedecked in a red dress and a violet scarf around her head, sauntered in to Hal's and had little fun with Noah. The two ended up kissing across the bar and wanting a little more than just that. The romance ended when Julia spied Edmund sitting alone in a dark corner of the bar. She walked over to him and said that he isn't trying hard enough to win back Maria. But Edmund said that seeing Noah and Julia together gives him faith that Maria will return to him.
Maria argued that her night with Dimitri did happened. Apparently she didn't quite understand what he was going for. If he said it didn't happen, Maria, don't argue with the man! Anyway, she said that is was something that will forever change their lives and reissued her form response that she and Edmund and history. She returned to packing her bags, but a picture of her wedding ceremony brought back happy memories and Maria did her best to hold back the tears. Edmund returned from Hal's, but Maria zipped up her suitcase and walked right past him.
Tad reacted quite surprised to the news that Liza was in love with him. At first he thought Marian was just trying to trounce his life again, but after her listened to Marian, he was convinced she was telling the truth. Marian revealed that Liza spoke to her one night while under the influence of Chardonay and said that Tad was her one true love. Marian said that while her daughter would probably blow a fuse if she knew she was telling Tad this, she had to do it. Marian then went on to say one of her most upsetting lines. She said that "I've been a good time. I've been a good sport. And I have been a better than average roll in the hay, but I have never been loved." She said that she doesn't want her daughter to know the pains of never being loved. While Marian may not have many fans in Pine Valley, you really had to feel for her.
Liza walked into Hal's with the intention of downing a glass of wine, but she saw a government warning about drinking while pregnant and she opted for a glass of iced tea instead. She finished her drink, barely able to keep from crying, and drop her money on the bar to cover her tab. As she was leaving, Tad walked in to the bar.
The ladies are getting a little out of control. Erica forced Jonathan to write a confessional to Dimitri explaining what happened the night he saw Erica and Jonathan in bed together. Erica was relieved to learn that Jonathan did not violate her while she was knocked out from the pain killers. Then the trio had an argument over who would do what next. Erica wanted to leave so she could give Dimitri the papers from Jonathan, Toni wanted to draw and quarter Jonathan, and Janet wanted everyone to just remain calm. Janet eventually won out and headed to the police station where she told Derek that she needed his help desperately. Erica and Toni got into a bitter shouting match. Toni resented Erica's only wanting to get back together with Dimitri and not wanting to help her get revenge on Kinder. After Jonathan finished signing his confession, Toni jabbed a needleful of the magic potion into Jonathan's leg, knocking him out instantly. That's some powerful stuff, huh? Erica told Toni that she didn't burn up all of Kinder's research papers, but she wasn't going to show them to her. They then began fighting for the papers. Erica pushed Toni into a closet, the door popped open, and out fell the corpse of Christopher! The body fell right on top of Toni and she was knocked out cold. Erica struggled to get him off of her, but she was too weak to do so. While all of this was going on... The Doctor awoke."
