"Gloria took Tad's announcement very well and she seemed to enjoy watching Tad squirm when she asked him how long he's known that he was in love with her. He offered up several possible times when he first knew that he cared for Glo---when she went away to her seminar in Richmond or when she came back and they "christened" the new bed--but he said that he isn't really sure of an exact time that his feelings blossomed. The he watched nervously as Gloria stood emotionless before him. Gloria finally broke her silence and assured Tad that his feelings were not one sided. She, however, knew the exact time that she fell for him: Halloween. She said that she loves "a man in a cape."
Dimitri asked Erica if she wanted to try for another child. Erica nodded. She said that her pregnancy "seemed right" and that their love for each other would make a welcomed environment for a new life. She did, however, say that Dr. Clader advised them to wait at least six months before trying to conceive. This time advisory, Erica said, did not quash her desire to have a child---now. She said that she wants to adopt a child because there are "other Sams" out there who need love. Erica wasn't keen in waiting and ordered Dimitri to proceed with the process immediately.
Upstairs, Maria was relieved to learn that she would not have to live without Edmund. As the night drew to a close, Edmund joined Maria in bed---ended his several day occupation of a bedroom down the hall.
Janet tried to see Amanda, but Trevor told her that Amanda was sleeping and that it was not the right time for her to visit.. Inside Amanda's room, a bubbly Amanda told Joe and Ruth that she was ready for visitors. But when Trevor suggested that Janet be allowed to visit, Amanda said she was "sleepy" and could not have any visitors. Ruth advised Trevor not to pressure Amanda into a visitation.
Janet told Jack that she was not yet allowed to see Amanda. Jack said that it should be only a matter of time before Janet is allowed to see Amanda. After all, he said, Trevor did risk his own life to save the woman who saved his daughter. Janet was stunned that Trevor tossed aside his own safety to save her from the well. Janet confronted Trevor with the news. Trevor explained that he could not let Amanda lose another mother.
The following morning, Jake was introduced to Amanda as the man who saved her life. Janet asked Ruth if she could see Amanda. Ruth said that she'd have to check with Trevor first. Trevor came out of the room and told Janet that Amanda was still sleeping. That excuse held up until Jake exited the room and said that Amanda was smiling. Trevor finally had to part with the deception and tell Janet that Amanda is still "processing" what she saw on the video tape and that she just needs a little time before she comes around. Brooke and Pierce arrived and asked to see Amanda, but Trevor told them that it is not fair for them to see Amanda before Janet. Trevor went back into the room and told Amanda that his feelings about Janet have changed and that she's an okay kinda person. Janet told Jack that she wants Amanda to be happy---even if it means that she can never see her again. A few seconds later, Trevor popped out of the room and told Janet that Amanda agreed to a visit.
Pierce went to Dr. Tolan and told her that he does not need any more therapy sessions because his relationship with Brooke is back on track. She warned him that love can sometimes blind a person for problems, but Pierce didn't pay her any mind.
Gloria and Tad checked in to the Sleepy Hollow Inn and were surprised when the woman at the front desk said they were booked to the Honeymoon Suite. She said that Valentine's Day is always a busy time of year and that all the other suites were booked. She asked "Mr. and Mrs. Martin" to follow her to their room.
Tad and Gloria laid with down on the bed and began kissing. They had no idea that someone else was about to enter their room. Joe and Ruth used their key to open the door and stood in amazement that Tad and Gloria were in their room! Joe asked if they should be celebrating a marriage. Tad blinked his eyes several times and realized that their room reservations must have been swapped. Tad raced down to the front desk, Joe following behind him. Ruth told Gloria that she and Joe already think of her as family and asked if there was a wedding in Gloria's future. Gloria shook her head and said that Tad is not at that point yet---but that they are very happy with their current arrangements.
Downstairs, Tad told his father the same thing. Joe insisted that Tad and Gloria keep the suite because they were already settled in. The two went back upstairs. Ruth instructed Tad that he and Gloria should remain in the suite. When Tad said that Joe had said the same thing, Ruth said that being together for several decades will cause you to think alike. Before leaving, Joe teased Tad that he should "try to forget that your parents are down the hall."
Erica and Dimitri told Maria and Edmund that they are considering adopting a child. Opal dropped by to give Sam a present for his birthday. Opal, Erica, and Maria went upstairs to see if Sam had waken from his nap. Dimitri told Edmund that he hopes his plans for adoption finally convince him that he has no "designs" on Maria's child. Edmund wasn't convinced. The two then bickered over Skye and how to handle her. As they squawked, Erica entered the room and demanded an explanation for their argument. Edmund explained that Dimitri asked him to reassign Skye to another job position to put space between them. Edmund quickly left the room. Dimitri told Erica that their presence at Wildwind is starting to cause problems and that they had better think about relocating. Maria stuck her head into the room and told Dimitri that he has a phone call from someone who does not speak English very well. Dimitri ducked out to take the call, but Erica needed a few words with Maria. She asked Maria if she and Dimitri were starting to wear out their welcome. Maria insisted that she was very happy having her brother-in-law and his wife live with them because she is used to having a big family living under one roof. Maria then ducked a question about knowing the reason for Skye's wedding interruption and the contents of the now missing letter. Opal came downstairs and Erica pulled her a side for a chat. Opal told Erica that she does not know what was in the letter, but that it had to have been something pretty bad because Maria said the letter would ruin the wedding. Erica was furious that Maria lied to her about not knowing what was in the letter and when Opal said that Maria burned the letter, Erica raced to the fireplace. She managed to retrieve a small unburned portion of the note: "Don't marry Dimitri.....unforgivable.....Maria." Erica vowed that she would get to the bottom of the mystery."
