"Noah was stunned by the news that his mother had gotten involved with a hitman. Jack and Belinda informed Noah that some times people get involved with people and only learn the truth about them after many years together. Now, Noah put the pieces together and realized that Rose might not have been trying to protect herself, but her children instead. Jack called Derek and asked him to put out an All Points Bulletin on Rose Grady. Noah turned and walked from the police station, saying that he was going to find his mother.
Noah retraced Rose's steps to the shelter. There he found Brooke and asked her if she had seen Rose recently. Brooke said that she had set up a cot in her office for Rose, but that Rose slipped out during the night and that she has not seen her since. Noah turned to another line of questions and asked Brooke if Rose indicated that she might be in any trouble. Brooke shook her head, but said that Brooke had almost been mugged the night before and that she thinks Rose knew her attacker.
Liza entered Tad's office with over a dozen new show ideas. She began talking to Tad before she actually saw his face and was dumbfounded when Tad's chair whirled around and Adam was sitting at Tad's desk. Liza asked Adam what he was doing in Tad's office and he explained that he was the station owner and could sit anywhere he wanted. Adam poked fun at Liza for being too desperate in her effort to land Tad. He said that she might as well paint a bullseye on her chest. Before the two could get into detail on the subject, Tad walked into his office and asked everyone why they were there. Adam shuffled off and Liza was left to explain what she and Adam were doing. Liza quickly put Tad's fears to rest by saying that she and Adam were not having any kind of sexual contact in Tad's office. Tad was relieved, but not convinced. Seeing that Tad was uncomfortable at best, Liza said that she wanted to talk things out with Tad. With the door open, Tad wasted no time in telling Liza that he was concerned that she was dating Adam and said that he does not want to see her get hurt. Liza was happy with the sentiment but asked Tad how he knows that she and Adam are not made for each other. She said that she likes to think of herself as a woman of substance and that Adam has "finally found the type of woman he needs." Liza dropped off her show ideas and turned to leave the office. Before she could leave, Tad called out to her and apologized for his comments. He said that he is well aware that Liza is a very charming and attractive woman, but he reiterated that he does not want Liza to be eaten alive by Adam. Liza made a slight chuckle and said that she would not be burned---but that she might be the one who burns Adam!. Rudy telephoned Tad and summoned him to editing. Liza and Tad both agreed to continue talking later.
Marian stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes focused in on the crowbar and her heart pounded in her throat. The door to the stall opened up and out Janet walked. She said that she is always dropping her crowbar and then broke into laughter. Marian panicked. She demanded to know why Janet was carrying around a crowbar. Janet explained that she always has one handy just in case she needs it. Marian' lips quivered. She asked how a convicted murderer could be allowed to lug around an item that she used for murder. Marian labored to raise her hand and pointed to the crowbar. "Is that...it?" she asked. Janet looked at the crowbar and soon figured out what Marian meant. Janet said that the crowbar was not the same one that she used to kill Will Cortlandt adding that the police confiscated the murder weapon. She said that she wishes she could have it back because it was, after all, her crowbar. Janet then said that anyone can carry a crowbar because it is not a lethal weapon like a handgun. With that, Janet hid the crowbar up her sleeve and left the ladies' room.
Adam visited Brooke at the shelter and asked her why she had not hired security guards to patrol the areas after the previous night's mugging attack. Brooke said that everything was in check and that Adam doe not need to worry about her. As Adam prepared to leave, Brooke told him that she had received a phone call from Dixie. It seems that Dix is concerned that Adam and Liza are spending so much time together. She asked Brooke to make sure that Adam Junior was not forced to see Adam and Liza together. Adam reassured Brooke that he would act accordingly and said that when Junior arrives in town for Halloween that Liza will not be around. He said that he and Liza had already discussed the situations and that Brooke and Dixie could breath easy: Liza would not be dressing up as the Wicked With and Adam Junior and Jamie will not try to drown Liza while she's bobbing for apples.
Marian raced to WRCW and charged into Tad's office where she found her daughter. Marian was on the verge of tears as she told Liza that someone was stalking her. Liza walked over to the phone and prepared to call the police. Marian said that Liza could not contact the police because she did not want to waste their time. This angered Liza. She asked her mother if it was okay to waste her time. Marian shook her head and said that she doesn't want Liza to waste any of her valuable time. but begged Liza to let her spend a few days with her. Tad walked in and when he caught sight of the actions before him he asked Liza if he should call security. Liza said that everything was okay and she passed her mother her set of keys to her condo. Marian thanked Liza and walked out of the office. No sooner had she left and Liza heard a loud scream from the hallway. Liza raced to see what happened. Janet was waiting outside the office for Marian and when Marian saw her, she hollered for her life. Janet told Liza that she and Marian just bumped in to each other and they both were frightened. She then explained that she was there to pick up some of her fan mail. While Liza went off to retrieve Janet's mail. Marian asked Janet why she was following her. Janet denied following Marian and said that she was just there to pick up her mail. Marian still looked like she was about to have a nervous breakdown. Marian said that "all dangerous mental patients should be behind bars." Liza returned with Janet's mail and Janet promptly left. Marian then asked Liza if she could have one of the station's security guards escort her to her car. Liza agreed and Marian was off to Liza's condo.
Grady picked Julia for information on Noah. Julia explained that Noah was somewhat upset with Grady (still posing as Frank Harris) because he showed such an interest in the photo Noah took of his mother. Julia explained that Noah hasn't seen his mother in quite some time and that he is still harboring some anger towards his mother. Grady took out a pack of cigarettes and prepared to light up, but Julia said that they do not allow smoking in their house. Grady apologized and put his cigarettes away. Julia then took a phone call and shortly afterwards Grady excused himself. He stepped outside the cabin and lit up, dropping his empty pack of cigarettes to the ground.
Noah slipped in the back door. He said that he saw a car out front and assumed that it was Mr Harris looking to talk about more of his photography. Noah filled Julia in on his mother's story and how she is somehow involved with a "mechanic." Noah also mentioned that Rose was trying to contact Lila, Grace's friend who allowed Noah and Julia to stay with them in Jamaica. When they realized that they had already checked every place that Rose could possibly be hiding, they figured out that Rose might have went to Myrtle's boarding house because that where Grace lives. The two took off to find Rose not knowing that Rose was lurking outside the cabin. After Noah and Julia had left, Rose slipped a letter to Noah under the front door. As she turned to walk away, Rose caught a glimpse of a pack of cigarettes on the ground. She looked closer at the pack and recognized it as the brand that Grady smokes. She opened the package and found a sheet of paper inside. On paper was an address written in Grady's handwriting... not just any address: Belinda's address. Rose feared for her daughter's safety and raced to Belinda's apartment.
Adam arrived back WRCW and headed to the last place he saw Liza: Tad's office. When he got there, Liza was already gone, but Tad was still there. Tad told Adam not to race off so quickly because he had so many questions for him. The first was why Adam has apparently tossed aside his "no dating your co-workers" rule.
Dimitri pressed Erica for the reason that Janet would need "tools." Erica took a deep breath and said that she hopes Dimitri will not be angry with her for what she's about to say. Erica said that she was allowing Skye and Janet to stay at Linden House as caretakers once she and Dimitri moved into Wildwind. The tools were hammers and nails for Janet and Skye to hang up a few paintings. Dimitri couldn't understand why Erica was letting Skye and Janet do construction work and said that as long as Janet's tool do not include any crowbars than everything should be okay. The two embraced and were sharing a few tender moments in each other's arm when Janet slipped in the back door. Erica saw her and asked Dimitri if he could carry the last of her bags to the moving van. She added that the sooner they pack the sooner they can get to Wildwind and the sooner they can...well, you know! With Dimitri gone, Erica asked Janet how the plan went. Janet smiled deviously and said that Marian Colby is no longer a threat.
Noah and Julia returned from Myrtle's empty handed. They both were ready to run out again, but they saw a letter on the ground. Julia handed to her husband and Noah recognized the writing on the envelope as his mother's. Noah ran out to door and did a quick search of the grounds to see if his mother was still around. Jack and Belinda showed up a few minutes later and asked if they had any luck on their search. Noah said no, but said that he had received a note from his mom. Belinda asked what the note said, but Noah indicated that he had not read the note. Following orders from his sister, Noah read the note aloud. In the note Rose apologized for running off and said that while she has no right to ask, she wants Noah and Belinda to know that she has always and will always love them. Noah said that they were gone about half an hour so that Rose had to still be in town. Jack and Belinda went off together to check Belinda's apartment and to contact the police about spreading the scope of their search. Noah said that he was going to check Front Street. Julia put on her coat and said that she was going with Noah, but Noah insisted that she stay behind. Julia reminded Noah that the last time he went to Front Street with a mission he ended up in jail for Louie Greco's murder. Again Noah refused to let Julia tag along and he raced out of the lodge.
Rose used the key Belinda had given her to get into the apartment. She looked around and found that no one was home. Rose paged through Belinda's address book and made a call to Belinda's office. She was told that Belinda was not at work but left no message. A noise at the door caused Rose to panic. She hid in a back bedroom and waited to see who was coming home. Grady picked the lock and gained access to the apartment. He looked around but couldn't find Rose. He walked to the phone and prepared to make a phone call. Before he made the phone call something drew his attention to the bedroom where Rose had spent the night. He walked toward the door.... Rose behind the door and began breathing harder..."
