"Liza checked in to an out of the way bed and breakfast under a false name. She asked the owner, Sissy, if there was a local mall where she could pick up some new clothing. Sissy replied that the nearest mall was some 40 miles away and that none of the local shops have "fancy" clothing. Liza said she felt in the mood for a change and that she would;be more than happy with some normal garb. Liza sat in her room and drifted off into a fantasy world. She pictured her wedding day---what a fiasco! As Liza and Adam were about the exchange their "I Do"s, Brooke raced to the altar and babbled that she was in love with Adam and wanted to marry him. Marian suddenly appeared and blasted Liza for letting her man get away. She she said that Liza will end up a lonely, bitter woman like her mother. Then Gloria appeared on the scene. She gave Liza a toaster oven as a gift from her and Tad. She mused that Liza was probably expecting Tad to interrupt the wedding. Anyway, Gloria concluded by saying that the toaster oven was state of the art and perfect for today's modern bachelorette.
In an effort to clear her mind, Liza took a drive to a secluded wooded area where she could relax. It was not as secluded as its billing. As Liza hung from a tree limb and swung back and forth, she unwittingly kicked the mysterious gentleman from yesterday's show in the head.
Dr. Clader told Maria that her baby will be due just in time for the May Sweeps period. Actually, he told Maria to expect a late April-Early May due date. Edmund eagerly asked for a print out of the sonogram so that he can show his family and friends the baby's "picture." Due to the positioning of the fetus, the doctor could not determine the baby's sex. Maria was overjoyed and said that she'd prefer the sex to be a surprise. Edmund pressured Maria to get on the phone and tell everyone in town that they were expecting, but Maria said that she wanted to wait a while. She excused herself and headed to the chapel. She closed her eyes tightly and prayed to God to help her resist her "urges." She said that she fears that her baby might have Dimitri as a father, but that her heart wants Edmund as the daddy.
Erica told Myrtle that she is only asking a lot of questions because she is concerned for Myrtle's safety. She added that she is not the only one who is wary of Red.
When Laura returned home from school, she got the third degree from Myrtle. Myrtle told Laura that she is being overly critical of Red and that her attitude needs a bit of an adjustment. Laura insisted that she was just concerned for Myrtle and that she was not implying that Myrt cannot take care of herself. She told Myrtle that Red did not have any identification in his wallet. Myrt said that she knew Red didn't "lose" his wallet and that Laura most likely picked his pocket. Erica's call to the FAA and the fact that no records had been found on Red turned out to be the deciding blow. Myrt came to the realization that Red might very well be a con artist. She told Laura that she had a half packed suitcase on her bed and that she was preparing to visit Red's "so called" home. She nearly sobbed as she told Laura that the home is probably a rest stop along the highway where he would mug her and steal her money. Laura said that she didn't want to hurt Myrtle and after getting an "all clear" from Myrt, Laura headed to a study date with Scott. As Myrtle prepared to settle in for the evening, loud shouting outside her front door spurred her to her feet. She opened the door and found Red and Noel arguing. Myrtle yelled over top of the men's shouts and told Red that if he doesn't tell her the truth about who he really is, she'll boot him out of the boarding house.
Red went inside and told Myrt that he was finally ready to tell her his true identity. Red started to beat around the bush, and Myrt reminded him that he'd have to pack his suitcase if he didn't come clean. "I don't have a suitcase," Red replied. "I have a bag---a great big, bottomless bag." He then asked Myrt to use her Carnie Smarts and put the pieces together. He said that his little friend, the elf, was named Noel--like the word No-El. He then began to laugh with a familiar "Ho Ho Ho."
Erica returned to Wildwind and told Dimitri that she and Myrtle had had a disagreement. She said that Myrt has given her wonderful advice over the years and that she was returning the favor. Perhaps, Dimitri hinted, Erica should have kept quiet on the mysterious Red Kilgren. The topic quickly changed to knowing when to trust people and Jonathan Kinder's name cropped up. Erica said that she should have believed Dimitri when he told her that Jonathan was bad news. Dimitri callously cast aside Erica's statements and asked her if she ever considered the possibility that he might have problems on his own. Before the discussion could be completed, Edmund and Maria returned from the hospital and broke their great news to Uncle Dimmie and Aunt Erica. They all prepared to celebrate the good news, but Erica said that she would have to take a raincheck because she had a business meeting in Center City to attend. Peggy heard the joyful cheers and ran to see what was going on. Edmund chirped that he was going to be a father again and Peggy returned to the kitchen to fetch a celebratory snack. Dimitri and Maria were left alone in the room together and they exchanged nervous glances, glances that register on Peggy's trouble radar when she returned to the room.
Adam nearly forced Brooke to tell him that she still had feelings for him. Brooke wasn't going to be strongarmed into a confession. Mr. Chandler then implied that Brooke was "lonely and unfulfilled." Brooke was insulted and said that she leads a very happy life. Adam confessed that he loves Brooke and that most of the time he can barely even tolerate Liza. This led to the obvious question: Why is Adam marrying Liza? Adam said that he was going to marry Liza because he could not have Brooke. "It's a bad idea," said Brooke, to marry someone without loving them. Adam told Brooke that she is holding all of the cards and that only she can stop the wedding. The two suddenly found themselves in a passionate kiss one that broke up only seconds before Skye walked into Brooke's office. Seeing Skye, Brooke made a hasty exit. Adam erupted. "You have an impeccable talent for screwing up my life!!" He quickly apologized to Skye and said that she actually might have helped his case. Skye had no idea what was going on and just looked in amazement at her father as he talked of a Christmas Eve wedding to Liza."
