"Dimitri phoned the pilot of his private jet and said that the travel itinerary had changed because Bianca was still asleep. He said that it would be about three hours before Bianca woke up and that plans should be adjusted accordingly. As he hung up the phone and turned around, he saw Bianca entering the room. The first words out of Bianca's mouth were questions about where her mother was. Dimitri tried his best to cover for Erica's sudden disappearance. He said that something had come up and that Erica had to leave. Bianca became concerned for her mother's safety and thought that she might have started taking pills again. Dimitri did his best to reassure Bianca, but it didn't work. If it wasn't the pills, Bianca continued, it must have something to do with Dr. Kinder. Dimitri was caught off guard by the statement and asked Bianca where she got and idea like that. Bianca informed Dimitri that Harold unearthed Jonathan's wallet and one of his shoes the night before and that everyone was acting strangely. Dimitri felt that there was no other course of action but to tell Bianca that Dr. Kinder was dead. Bianca demanded to know the whole truth. She said that she would read about it in the papers or see something on the news eventually and demanded to be filled in now. Dimitri explained that Erica had killed Jonathan in self-defense.
Phoebe watched in horror as Tad and Gloria took their seats and told Brooke that some people only have one thing on their mind. She then turned her head and caught glimpse of another of her favorite couples: Adam, and Liza. Pheebes called the pair "a match made in Hades." After a glance at her watch, Phoebe realized that she was going to be late for her meeting of the Daughter of Fine Lineage. Phoebe begged her niece to tag along with her and reinstate her membership. Brooke decline, reminding Phoebe that she had a meeting with a retiring writer for Tempo. Besides, Brooke added, the only reason Brooke was once a member of the Daughters of Fine Lineage is that Phoebe signed Brooke up before she was old enough to decline. So Phoebe reluctantly left and said that she hates leaving Brooke alone in the "eye of the storm."
No sooner had Adam asked Liza to marry him and Liza was already on the phone handling business. Adam accused her of having an ice cube where her heart is supposed to be. The observation didn't seem to phase Liza as she was only interested in whether or not she'd get a nice sized diamond ring by agreeing to Adam's proposal Liza stopped thinking about 'the rock' for a moment and said that no one would believe that they were getting married. And even if they did believe that there was going to be a wedding, she said that no one would show up. Adam disagreed strongly and said that people would show up just to see the festivities. Liza said that she needed a few minutes to think about it and left to make a few phone calls.
Instead of heading to a pay phone, Liza ended up face to face with Gloria in the ladies' room. Liza apologized to Gloria and said that she hopes Gloria does not think she's being followed. Gloria laughed and said that Pine Valley is a small town and that people are bound to run in to each other every now and then. Liza again said that she felt sorry for barging in on Glo and Tad and that she could have called before popping in. Gloria said that everything was okay and commented about how happy Liza and Adam look. Glo did warn Liza to be careful with Adam. Gloria inadvertently (or possible purposefully) dropped a condom on the floor. Liza's jaw dropped to the ground and she hurriedly bent over to pick it (and the condom) up. Gloria took thanked Liza for picking the condom up and said that Liza taught her a very valuable lesson: Take precautions. She said that an unplanned pregnancy can ruin someone's life.
Liza returned to her table and told Adam that she has thought about his offer and came up with terms of her own. She said that if she can get a two to three karat emerald cut diamond with a few baguettes on each side she'd agree to the engagement. She adamantly said that she does not want to go through with the wedding. Adam said that they would never get to that point because either Brooke or Tad would contest the engagement in an overwhelming display of jealousy. An urgent call rang through on Liza's phone and a source told her that another station was announcing that they had landed an exclusive interview with Erica.
Tad asked Gloria was Liza could possibly see in Adam. Gloria smiled and said that Adam is a very charming man. She said that on the surface he is was every woman hates, but when he's in love with a woman he changes. Their quiet luncheon was interrupted as Adam and Liza stormed the table and told Tad that they had to get down to the police station and work on coverage of Erica's arrest.
Brooke's meeting was canceled and on her way out of the Valley Inn, she bumped into Stuart. Stuart happily worked on a sketch of a mural he was commission to do. Stuart asked Brooke if she was by herself. Brooke nodded and commented that Adam was eating with Liza. Stuart covered his ears and told Brooke that maybe if they "don't talk about it, it will go away." Stuart told Brooke that Adam might seem happy, but that he is not as happy as he was when he was with Brooke. Brooke told Stuart that she and Adam "grew in different directions" and that they are "different people now." Stuart asked Brooke if she still cared about Pierce. Brooke didn't give a definitive answer, only commenting that Laura received a postcard from Pierce recently. Brooke continued on her way home and after she was gone Adam approached his brother. Stuart told Adam that Brooke still has feelings for him.
A flock of reporters overheard Derek mention that Erica had been arrested on suspicion of murder charges and they went crazy. They asked if the officer could be quoted on that.. Inside the cellblock, Janet and Skye asked Erica why she confessed to the crime. They also said that there were dozens of reporters scavenging for bits of gossip. Janet asked Erica was they were going to do about the "b-o-d-y" Erica quickly replied that the body would be exhumed after Bianca left town. That was not quite what Janet was talking about. She reminded Erica that Jonathan was wrapped in Marian's rug and that it would prove that Jonathan was not killed at Linden House. As the trio talked, Jack and Trevor approached. Jack told Erica that Derek is "chomping at the bit" to act on a search warrant and unearth Kinder's body. Erica blasted Jack for reneging on his promise to wait until after Bianca had left town. "She's family. Can't you try to protect her?" Jack said that he could not give Erica special treatment, but that he would see what he can do. He said that he would call Dimitri and find out when Bianca was leaving for Seattle. Before he left, however, he advised Erica to tell her attorney the truth and save a lot of problems for everyone. Skye whispered to Janet "Is Jack too old for me?" Trevor learned that Skye was not yet divorced from Jonathan and told Erica that Skye could be her saving grace,
Dimitri and Bianca arrived at the station and were swarmed by the media. They repeated their "No comment" response, but they were still hounded. Bianca begged her Uncle Jack to see her mother and they finally agreed to let Bianca in to the cell to visit Erica. Bianca was allowed to visit her mother in the privacy of the cell. Bianca immediately apologized to her mother, saying that everything was her own fault. She said that she knows that she was the one who killed Jonathan by pushing him down the steps. Erica hushed her daughter and told her that Jonathan survived his fall down the steps and that he died later when Erica pushed up down the steps.
Jack re-questioned Skye and Janet on their part in Kinder's murder, but both ladies agreed that they had no part in Jonathan's death. Dimitri interjected that he doesn't believe Erica's story and said that someone else had to be involved.
Trevor and Derek returned from the judge's office with news that exhumation had been canceled. Trevor took on Skye as a client and at her request said that Kinder's body should not exhumed for "spiritual reasons." Derek was noticeable peeved and said that the exhumation will be back on and that he hopes he does not have to charge anyone with "obstruction of justice."
In an interrogation room, Bianca looked on and contemplated whether or not she should tell the truth about what happened to Jonathan Kinder."
