"At Holidays, Kevin thanked Scott for putting in a good word for him with the Pine Valley University recruiters. Scott told Kevin that Laura had more to do with the input than him. Kevin smiled and said he was thankful that Laura was on his side. Scott lowered his head and said that he doesn't know if Laura is on his side. He told Kevin that he had confessed his love for Laura, but that Laura did not exactly return the sentiment.
Laura and Brooke stopped by the multi-purpose restaurant. The two talked about the same thing that Kevin and Scott had been talking about. Laura told Brooke that she does love Scott, but that she just did not know how to respond to Scott's statement. Brooke suggested that Laura clear things up with Scott. She pointed Laura in Scott's direction---and gave her a little boot to make sure that she got moving.
Scott and Laura managed to clear the air. Scott told Laura that he meant what he said: He does love her. Laura apologized for making him feel awkward and told him that she loves him too.
Mateo and Isabella returned from their whirlwind tour of San Antonio. Skye told them that Hayley and Tanner had gone to the airport to fly to Texas and surprise them. Isabella bad-mouthed Hayley's impetuous decision, but Skye defended her sister's spontaneous actions by saying that when Hayley wants something, she does whatever she has to do to get it.
The FAA called the bar and told Mateo that radio contact with Tanner and Hayley's plane had been lost and that their plane has disappeared from the radar. A stunned Mateo told Skye that the plane had crashed.
Trevor asked Janet if she is going to make a career of staying at home in the dark. He encouraged her to take legal action against Liza and WRCW, but Janet said that no jury will award her damages in a court of law. She assured him that she was no talking to mirrors so if that was why he dropped by, he can be on his way. Trevor asked Janet to disregard Amanda's comments at Holidays. He said that Amanda does not know "what's up and what's down" and that she is hurting. Janet said that her daughter's reaction is "just desserts" for her years of bad deeds. Trevor shook his head. He said that he is not going to "wipe the slate clean," but said that Wilma (Janet's mother) is responsible for slighting Janet during her childhood. Janet refused to use Wilma as her scapegoat. She told Trevor that she'll avoid future contact with Amanda. Trevor didn't buy it and told Janet that she cannot "bow out" of her parental responsibilities. He said that he'll help Amanda get past her problems with Janet. Janet was stunned. Trevor said that he'd go to the ends of the earth to give Amanda what she needs. And right now Amanda needs a mother. Janet thanked Trevor, but Trevor, as you know, is not one to take praise easily.
Tanner landed the plane in a cornfield. The only ill effect of the landing was a slight scrape on Hayley's forehead. Tanner surmised that they had landed in West Virginia. Hayley urged him to radio for help, but Tanner reminded her that the radio had died. So he suggested that they wait for help. Hayley had other ideas. Since no one was looking for them, she knew that a search party was not en route. She said that they might be able to find Pigeon Hollow. Tanner went along with her idea, but said that the approaching storm will curtail their search for help. As the two walked along, they stumbled across a cave. The went inside and Tanner started a campfire. He bundled Hayley up with a blanket he had packed in his bags. As the two chatted, Tanner suggested that Hayley have something to drink. She agreed. Tanner went over to his bag and removed a sports drink. He unscrewed the cap and added a little something for flavor---some sort of alcohol and a white powder. He shook up the drink to dissolve the powder and returned with his offering.
Maria tried both the front and rear exits of the cabin, but both doors were locked. She asked Erica was what going on. Erica said that she was about to ask the same thing. Maria said that she is willing to talk to Erica, but suggested that they go back to Wildwind so that she can check in on Edmund. Erica wasn't moving. She asked Maria to explain the guilty whispers that had floated around Wildwind for months. Maria assumed Erica was talking about the wedding surprise. Erica nodded, but she said that she was not talking about Nick, she was talking about Skye's interruption. Maria said that Skye was upset with Edmund and was trying to make a scene. Erica said that the interruption was not about Edmund. She pulled out the charred remains of Skye's note. She asked Maria to take a guess as to why Skye linked the names "Dimitri, Erica, and Maria" in her letter. Maria said that she could not remember the contents of the letter and that Erica should talk to Skye. Erica informed Maria that Skye told her told her to talk to Dimitri. Erica moved on to another subject: the Thalissemia test. She asked Maria why she had gotten a test for the disease when she already knew that her baby was not at risk for the disease. She commented that Skye must have known for months what was going on. Maria sat down on the sofa. She told Erica that she does not understand how "it" happened. She explained that she slept with Dimitri---just once on the night that Sam was taken from her, the same night that Dimitri found Erica in bed with Dr. Kinder. Erica was furious. She mused at the pain Maria must be feeling as a "Good little Catholic girl." She asked Maria how many Hail Mary's she had to recite in order to work off her penance. Or, Erica said, was Maria trying to keep the affair a secret from God, too. But Erica didn't stop there. She blasted Maria for slipping into bed with Dimitri to get pregnant after failing time and time again at conception with Edmund. The tragedy in all of this, Erica said, was that she lost her baby. As she stated her wishes for Maria's baby to have been taken away, Maria began cramping. She doubled over in pain and begged Erica for help, but Erica turned and began to walk away."
