"In response to Tad's questioning, Adam asked Tad when he was appointed as Liza's bodyguard. Tad shook off Adam's insult and said that Liza is just coming off a serious health scare and noted that Adam was not around to help her cope with hear fears of having cancer. Tad warned Adam that his attitude toward Liza better not be "business as usual." Seeing that Tad was increasingly jealous by the amount of time that he and Liza were spending together, Adam sunk his teeth into Tad. He said that "Liza's under your skin and it's driving you crazy!" Tad denied the claims and looked past Adam for some support for Brooke, who just happened to drop by.
Edmund and Maria savored their last few minutes alone knowing full well that Erica and Dimitri would be arriving soon. And, in fact, they arrived just as their names were mentioned. It didn't take long for the four family members to engage in some chit chat. Maria asked Erica what she thought of the renovations to the main room. Erica bit her lip and said that it looked okay, but that it definitely needed some "personal touch" care of Miss Kane. Edmund and Maria gave each other a glance and prepared for Hurricane Erica to whirl around the castle and drop off her own personal artifacts. As it turns out, it wasn't like that at all. Erica cracked a smile and pointed to one of a dozen boxes scattered around the room and told Edmund and Maria that the boxes were filled with a jungle gym set for Sam. Maria let out a deep breath and thanked Erica for her generosity. As the extended Marick family readied to unpack, Skye showed up at Wildwind with a late-breaking article for Tempo. She was caught off guard at seeing Dimitri and Maria in the same room and began asking questions about the Hunting Lodge. She said that she is surprised that Erica and Dimitri will be living in the main house with Edmund and Maria when the Hunting Lodge is a much better suited abode. Maria explained that the lodge was already housing Julia and Noah that they've all lived together before and it should not be a problem to do it again. With that Erica, Dimitri, and Maria went upstairs to see Sam. Skye continued to press Edmund for information on the lodge. Bits and pieces of the actual story came crawling out of Skye, but not the entire story. Skye explained that the night she escaped from Kinder's clutches she ended up outside of the lodge. She said that would never forget what she saw inside because it left a "vivid memory" firmly imbedded in her mind. What did she see? She said that she just saw Dimitri inside, but that her mind is probably making more of it than there actually is. Erica, Maria, and Dimmie made their way back down the stairs and Erica swished over to Skye and asked her if she was done asking her silly questions. Skye nodded and Erica announced that Skye would be leaving. After walking Skye to the front door, Erica said that Skye's questions could tip someone on to why Erica really wanted out of Linden House. Skye said that "they're making a fool out of you." Erica asked what Skye could possibly mean by that statement. Struggling for a lie, Skye said that Maria and Edmund are laughing at Erica because they are all living at Wildwind like a "bunch of Gypsies." Erica laughed, saying that Wildwind is hardly a residence for Gypsies. Skye left and Erica returned to the family reunion. All four toasted being back together and Dimitri and Erica gave a special thanks to Edmund and Maria for opening up their house to them.
Later Dimitri met with Maria to thank her for letting him stay at Wildwind. He said that he does not want to make her uncomfortable and that he would never do anything to upset her. Maria said that she is fine with the move-in and that was the end of the conversation.
Hayley and Mateo ended up at the hunting lodge hoping that Julia and Noah could help them with some ideas for their new nightclub. Julia, still distraught by Noah's running out on her. told the couple that she was afraid for Noah's safety. She explained that the last time she saw him so intent on getting justice that he ended up being charged with murder. Mateo said that he would find Noah and make sure that he got home safely.
Down on Front Street, Noah met up with Elijah and asked if "that lady" has been around the neighborhood again. Elijah shook his head and asked Noah why he has such an interest in this particular woman. Noah said that the woman is his mother, but that statement met with opposition for Noah. "You don't got a mother," Elijah refuted. Noah said that he does have a mom, but that he hasn't seen her in a long time. Noah asked the boy if anyone else had been around dropping the Keefer family name. Elijah said that the police were around and that some guy has also been asking a lot of questions. Noah told Elijah that he should go to his apartment because it's a school night and get ready for bed. With that Noah walked over to a man who had been listening in on the conversation. The man, Jim, seemed to take an unusual interest in the conversation. Noah grabbed Jim by the wrist and threatened to break his arm if he didn't tell him where Rose was. Jim said that he knew a woman by the name of Rose, but that she was a little too old for Noah. Noah became even more angry, he said that Jim had his chance to tell the truth and that now he is going to kill him. Jim threw a trash bag at Noah and tried to scamper away, but Noah caught him. Fortunately, Mateo arrived just in time and pulled Noah off of the man. Jim then explained that he once knew Rose Keefer, but that he hasn't seen her in years and wouldn't know her if he "tripped over her." Noah advised Jim to spread the word that he is Rose Keefer's son and that no one better mess with her.
Adam returned to Chandler Mansion where he caught Stuart on his way out of the house with a piece of cake. Stuart said that he stopped by because Winifred made Scott's favorite dessert and that he wanted to pick up some of the dessert before it was all eaten. Stuart was mildly surprised to see Adam by himself. He said that he half-expected Liza to be on his twin brother's arm. Adam said that he and Liza are just friends and that they are in the same business circle. Stuart replied with a "so are you and Brooke." Stuart went on to say that Pierce has left Pine Valley and that Adam is just trying to make Brooke jealous. But it won't work, Stuart admonished. "Brooke hates tricks," Stuart sagely commented. "And she's too smart to fall for them."
Tad rung his hands together and asked Brooke if she ever wanted to "tear [Adam's] face off." Brooke smiled and said that she did, but that the fear of going to jail prevented her from acting upon her thoughts. As the two talked, Gloria stumbled into the office apologizing for her interruption. Brooke said that she and Tad were done discussing Jamie's new choice for a halloween costume and that she was on her way out. She asked if she could use the phone before leaving. Gloria sadly reported that she was asked to work a double shift at the hospital and that she will not be able to go to a football game with Tad as they has planned. But Tad was not about to give up on Gloria and asked her what she was doing for Halloween. Tad said that he'd like Gloria to go out with him and asked her if she scared easily. Glo replied with "I was married to Adam Chandler, wasn't I?" and the couple shared a good laugh. Gloria left the office, but not before knocking over some video tapes and the two said they'd see each other later.
Brooke, who feigned talking on the phone, hung up with the babysitter and walked over to Tad. She smiled broadly as she toyed with Tad's asking Gloria out on a date. Brooke said that she didn't have a problem with Tad and Gloria dating. After all, Gloria is intelligent, beautiful, charming... "and she's safe."
Grady slowly opened the door to the bedroom, but he never had the opportunity to see if Rose was hiding on the other side. Belinda returned home with Derek Frye on her heels. Grady hid behind the front door and slipped out as the two talked. Derek wanted Belinda to know that he was in charge of finding Rose and that his men were on the job. The two seemed almost cozy, but those rumors of romance still remain just rumors.
After Derek left, Belinda noticed that some of the items on her coffee table had been moved around. Then as she bent over to retrieve one from the ground, she found Rose's bags. Rose emerged from hiding and said that she had to be on her way. Belinda insisted that Rose stay with her and said that she knows "all about Grady." Belinda asked her mother if Grady was in the apartment, but Rose wouldn't say. "You know more than you should," Rose snapped. "You made a good life for yourself." Rose asked her daughter to back off. Belinda's hidden anger let loose. She blasted her mother for not knowing what kind of life she made, saying that she hasn't been around long enough to make that assessment. Belinda told her mother that the time for running and hiding is over. If Grady could find her in Pine Valley, he'll her wherever she goes. Belinda placed a call to Noah to say that Rose was okay and that she was going to be taking Rose somewhere. Belinda wouldn't give the details over the phone, but said that she just called to tell Noah that everything was okay. With that, Belinda packed a few bags and she and Rose left the apartment."
