"Nick was concerned that Erica went too far in her lashing out at Maria. Erica didn't want to hear that she was wrong and asked Nick if he could leave her alone. Nick shook his head. He said that what Erica really wants is for his "to wave a magic wand" and make everything better. Dimitri slowly entered the room to tell Erica that he spoke to Dr. Clader. The doctor said that one out of every ten pregnancies ends in miscarriage. The news offered little comfort to Erica who felt that she should have been one of the nine successful pregnancies. She said it is unfair that crack addicts and alcoholics can carry to term. She swore that she had not taken any drugs---even an aspirin---since she learned that she was pregnant. Opal and Myrtle rushed into the room to offer their heart-felt sympathy, but their help only made things worse. Opal told Erica that she needs to move on from her tragedy because she is still young enough to have a "whole litter" of children running around the house. She also related her story of losing her daughter, Jenny, and told Erica that she knows how she's feeling. Dimitri shooed the two women from Erica's room before Erica started crying again.
Outside the room, Dimitri told Nick that he is worried about Erica. He said that he is concerned that Erica's recent string of tragedies might lead her back to drugs. Nick assured Dimitri that Erica always bounces back better than before and that he has nothing to worry about.
Dimitri went back into Erica's room and suggested that they go for a walk. Erica agreed that a walk might do her good, but said that she'd rather find Maria and apologize for her outburst.
Maria met with an ultrasound technician for her seven-month check up. The two exchanged idle chit-chat about Maria already having a son, but how she's very excited about giving birth. When asked if her husband would be attending, Maria said that something had come up and Edmund would not be able to join her. With that, Edmund burst into the room and asked if he was too late. Maria tried to make Edmund's appearance look good by saying that she did not think he'd be able to make the appointment. But it blew up in her face when Edmund said, in front of the technician, that she had not told him about the appointment. The technician made up an excuse so Edmund and Maria could speak privately. Edmund told Maria that he does not believe in "mistakes." He, of course, was referring to Maria's prayers that her baby had been taken instead of Erica's. He said that if "mistakes" were taken away, he'd never have been born. He also said that when he looks at Sam he never thinks that he was conceived after two teens got drunk and had a one-night stand. Maria was accepting of these examples, but asked how he'd feel when her baby was born. Edmund looked her in the eyes and said that when the baby is born, he'll take the baby in his arms and everything will be all right.
The sonogram revealed a very healthy baby. Maria and the technician both oohed and aahed over the various "baby parts," but Edmund could distinguish anything on the monitor. Maria caught sight of something and asked if what she was what she thought it was. The technician said that policy forbids her from telling the sex of the baby, but said that if she were an interior designer, she'd paint the rooms blue. Maria smiled at her baby boy and asked for a printout of the sonogram image.
After the appointment, Edmund and Maria talked about the baby. Maria said that Hector would be pleased because he always preferred boys. She said that her aunts told her that Hector was disappointed that she, the first born child, was not a boy. Hector did, however, come around and on Maria's graduation from Medical school, he told her that she was "a father's dream." Edmund became uncomfortable calling the baby "He" and suggested that they could up with names. From Sam's sibling, they came up with the name "Sibby"---in jest, I hope. As the two mused about the name, Erica entered the waiting area and asked of she could have a few words with Maria. Erica apologized for tearing into Maria and said that she now knows that her miscarriage was not Maria's fault. She picked up the sonogram photos and tried to force a smile, but that smile didn't come so easily.
After Erica left, Maria feared that Skye might try to visit Erica while she's in the hospital. She said that only an armed guard could keep Skye away. Maria went off to check on some business. Dimitri returned to speak to Edmund, but Edmund wasn't a willing listener. He warned Dimitri that he had better not set his sights on being a father to Maria's child because it is out of the question.
Like clockwork, Skye showed up at Erica's room. Erica begged Skye to leave.
Jack ordered the mine to be cleared. Liza showed she does have conscience by standing by Jack's side and offering to assist in any way. The fire chief said that the walls of the well are too unstable to attempt a rescue and that they first need to secure the area before anything can be done. Janet came around and yelled that she wanted an update on Amanda's condition. Jack assured Janet that Amanda would be fine, but Janet was worried when she learned that Amanda had still not regained consciousness. The rescue squad returned and said that there is no way that they can descend into the well for a rescue. Instead, they will need to drill a separate tunnel and attempt a rescue that way. Jack urged Janet to remain calm and conserve her strength. Janet's teeth chattered together as her legs were pinned under mounds of rocks. Janet began planning for her death and told Jack that there is a music box at Linden House that she wants Amanda to have. She said that Amanda is half-dead and it's all her fault. The drilling began, but it had unwanted results. The ground began to shake and the decades old mine began to cave-in. The walls began to crumble and even more debris was sent into the well.
Amanda was rushed to the hospital, but her condition soon improved. Jake told Hayley and Mike that Amanda was not in critical condition because her body temperature had not dropped to dangerous levels After some special care, Amanda's temperature returned to normal. Trevor thanked Jake for saving his daughter's life---but added that Janet was also responsible. Trevor sang a lullaby to his still unconscious daughter. He apologized for his off-key tune, but said that Amanda likes the song. With that, Amanda opened her eyes for several minutes and let her daddy know that she was okay. She asked for Janet, but Trevor said that Janet would be along soon. Amanda drifted back into her sleep. A nurse said that she'd take care of Amanda so Trevor could go and get something to eat. Outside the room, an emergency call came into the hospital telling them that there had been a collapse as the Marick Estate and that a woman was trapped in a well. Trevor told Hayley to stay by Amanda's side and he raced off to Wildwind.
At the mine, Jack begged Janet to give a sign that she could hear him. There was no response. Liza urged Jack to leave the mine before he gets trapped. He refused to leave. Trevor arrived on the scene to see if there was anything he could do. Jack told his buddy that the rescue crews said that Janet is probably already dead and that they are not attempting a rescue. At the bottom of the well, Only Janet's head poked out of the pile of rubble. She made no sound...and made no movement."
