She's growing up fast... maybe too fast. Amanda told her father that she could not use the backpack he'd bought her because it had purple ponies on it. She's too old for that. She also said, rather matter-of-factly, that she is now a vegetarian. Her friend Carrie told her hoe hamburger is made and it "grossed her out." Before leaving to catch the school bus to school, Amanda told Trevor that she'd be hanging out with Janet after school. This was the first that Trevor had heard of Janet's return to town. After Amanda left, Trevor picked up the phone and placed a call to Holidays. When Janet answered the phone, he was unable to say anything to her. He held the phone against his face, but made no sound. He paced around the house and lectured himself on the proper etiquette of phone conversations, but he remained unable to reach out and touch Janet, so to speak. He was saved a phone call because Janet showed up at his door. Trevor expected fireworks, but there was little more than a muffled bang. Janet expressed her concern for Erica's well-being, but Trevor barely followed the conversation. He assured Janet that he is planning to appeal the sentence. Trevor cleared his files off of the sofa so that Janet could sit next to him, but Janet opted to sit on the chair---across the room from Trevor. Trevor hoped the conversation would take more of a romantic twist, but Janet acted distant and even a little frigid. As Janet continued to talk about Erica, Trevor interrupted with a question. He asked Janet why she had not called him to tell him that she was back in town. The fact that Trevor was jealous that Janet called Trevor first surprised her. "Whatever happened to welcome home?" Janet quipped. "And I missed you?" The next exchange proved comical. "Did you?" Trevor asked. "Did I what?" Janet replied. Trevor mistook Janet's question as a statement. Whereas she was asking Trevor why he didn't tell her that he missed her, Trevor thought that Janet was telling him that she missed him! Janet felt that Trevor should already know the answer to his question. She asked him to recall their last meeting and their passionate kiss. Again, Trevor asked Janet if she missed him. Janet rose to her feet and said that she didn't have time to play games with Trevor. Trevor also took to his feet and pointed to the door. Before leaving, and her voice now raised and flaunting anger, Janet requested that Trevor make a motion to have Erica moved to a minimum security prison. With that said, Janet turned and stormed out of the house.
With a nod of his head, Jack ordered the prison guards to leave the visiting room. Erica was hardly grateful for Jack's visit. In disgust, she recalled her orders to Janet and Myrtle not to tell Jack to visit her. Erica walked over to the door and asked the guard to take her back to her cell. Jack begged Erica to give him five minutes of her time. Reluctantly, Erica agreed. Jack wanted to embrace Erica and feel her against his body, but Erica refused. She reminded him that physical contact was strictly prohibited. One of the guards burst into the room and announced that Erica's daughter was on the phone. Erica was overjoyed that her daughter contacted her, but less that thrilled with the circumstances. Bianca told her mother that both Barbara and Travis had forbidden her to contact her. So she waited until she was alone before making the call. Bianca had many questions for her mom. Why did she change her plea? What is prison like? What does her mother do all day to stay busy? Erica did her best to break down the prison stereotypes that Bianca might have developed from watching television. Think of it as a big college dorm, Erica said. Bianca told her mother that she was in Center City with Barbara---they were going to see some type of horse show. She begged her mother to send a car so that she could visit with her. Erica told Bianca that she was not allowed to have visitors. AS the two talked, Barbara returned. Bianca lied about who she was talking to, saying that she had her Uncle Jack on the line. Disguising her conversation, Bianca told her "Uncle Jack" to tell her mother that she loves her and she prays for her mother every night. Bianca quickly hung up the phone. Erica asked Jack to find Bianca and talk to her. Jack figured that he could pull some legal maneuvering and allow Bianca to visit. That was something that Erica did want. She made Jack promise that he would not allow Bianca anywhere near the prison. He agreed. After Jack left, Erica began to sob and said "thank you." But as Jack was already gone, he was unable to see her display of emotions.
Barbara asked Bianca how her uncle was doing. Bianca nodded her head and claimed that he sounded fine. But some quick talking by Barbara managed to slip up Bianca. She asked Bianca how Erica sounded and, without thinking, Bianca issued and answer. Barbara scolded Bianca for going against her wishes and contacting Erica. She made a scathing comment that was totally unprovoked, telling Bianca that she is becoming more and more like her mother every day. Bianca insisted that she had not done anything wrong. She wants to speak to her mother and will do whatever she has to in order to accomplish that. Jack arrived at the door. Barbara hoped that Jack could bring Bianca around, but even Jack couldn't do the impossible. Jack told Bianca that she could not go to the prison. Bianca felt as though she was being treated like a baby and ran off to her room in tears. Barbara thanked Jack for his helped. She was stunned to learn that Erica was in agreement with them on the prison visit issue. Barbara told Jack that Travis has made it clear that he does not want Bianca to have any contact with Erica.
Opal and Palmer again feuded over Kevin and Kelsey. Opal told Palmer that Kevin told Kelsey that he loves her. Palmer blamed Opal for confusing Kevin. He said that Kevin is under pressure to conform to his parents' wishes and needs to be left alone. Kevin stood at the doorway listening to the conversation. He ran into the room and ordered the Cortlandts to stop arguing. Palmer assured Kevin that he was not the reason that he and Opal were fighting. They both love him and only wants what's best for him. Kevin informed the Cortlandts that he was packing his things for move-in day at the dorm. A short time later, Kevin returned downstairs and said goodbye to Palmer. Palmer offered Kevin a few heart-felt words of advice. He told Kevin that he does not have to be something that he's not and told Kevin that he'd be proud to have him as a son. "Don't give up on yourself," Palmer said encouragingly. Opal did not return to the room until after Kevin had left. She was beginning to feel badly for meddling in Kevin's personal life. "The road to hell," Palmer spouted, "is paved with good intentions."
Kevin arrived for his shift at Holidays and had to deal with an onslaught of attention from Kelsey. She devised plans to "break in" Kevin's dorm room. She offered decorating tips and said that it might be good that Kevin was forced into a single room. Now they'd have more privacy. Kevin claimed that he could not hang out with Kelsey because he had a soccer team meeting. He told her that he'd catch up with her later. After Kevin left, Kelsey returned to her temporary job of helping out at Holidays. She took an order from a young man wearing a PVU soccer jersey. She told him that she'd put a rush on his order so that he could make his team meeting. The man, who turned out to be the team's captain, told Kelsey that there was no soccer team meeting. Kelsey's face dropped as she tried to figure out why Kevin had lied to her.
Jack returned to the prison and told Erica about his visit with Bianca. Erica rattled on and on about what she and Bianca would do after she was released from prison. Jack, however, advised her to put her plans on hold. Travis was taking steps to make sure that Erica could not visit with Bianca now---or ever!"
