"Adam's sudden announcement that he wanted to have David arrested didn't confuse just Keith. David slowly walked towards Adam with a look of disbelief on his face. Keith asked Adam if he was certain of what he'd just said. If there was any doubt, Adam clarified it when he said, "I want this man bound over and held for trial." David extended his hand and introduced himself to the new assistant district attorney. David casually worked himself into the conversation. David played it smooth and never flashed any anger at Adam. Instead, he explained that he had, in fact, given Adam, the wrong medication. He was quick to add that he hadn't deliberately given Adam the wrong medication as Adam had implied. He let it be known that the mix-up came after a forty-hour shift without a break. David next addressed Adam's claim that David had used the mix-up to get back at Jake. Why, he asked, would he want to ruin Jake's career? Jake overheard the discussion and approached the three men with an answer to David's question. Most of the background information on David and Allie's past was left out of the explanation. Jake did, however, state that he had the proof needed to put David behind bars. That proof, of course, was eyewitness testimony and a videotape of David confessing his crime. David urged Keith to check his personnel file. The file would show that no charges had ever been brought against David. Jake suggested that they all go to Myrtle's so that they can view the videotape. Adam wanted to go, but he opted to stay at the hospital with Liza.
Erica hovered over Jack's bed and prayed aloud that her on-and-off-again fiancé would be okay. Joe entered the room to check on Jack's vitals and offered Erica a preliminary diagnosis. Joe was almost certain that Jack would be okay. From what he could tell, the attorney suffered a hairline skull fracture. It wasn't a serious injury---Joe expected the fracture to heal on its own---but Joe wanted to run some additional tests just to be on the safe side. Jack's eyes slowly opened. He was surprised to see Erica by his side. He smiled weakly and asked Erica if she could spare a few aspirin. Considering what he'd just been through, it was amazing that he was able to crack a joke. Erica told Jack that she'd be waiting for him to return from his tests. Jack was wheeled off to radiology and Erica turned and walked towards the door. She looked up and realized that Mike had been standing by the door the entire time. She knew that it must have been awkward, if not difficult, for Mike to watch the way she's gushed over Jack. Mike offered to take Erica home, but Erica wanted to stick around the hospital. Mike surprised Erica when he plopped down next to her on the waiting room sofa. Erica had expected Mike to leave. Mike said that he was certain that if the tables had been turned, Jack would stay by Erica's side. "I need you," Mike said, "but he needs you more." This was a side of Mike that Erica hadn't seen before. Mike put his arm around Erica. She leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder.
Allie returned to the boarding house and told Myrtle about her adventures at the explosion site. Keith, Jake, and David showed up in the middle of Allie's tale about how she'd helped restore Palmer's vision. Myrtle recognized Keith as the man who was "trying to out Brooke behind bars." She then turned to Jake and asked why "Dr. Shifty Eyes" was in her house. Dr. Shifty Eyes, of course, was David. Jake told Allie that Keith was there to investigate attempted murder charges against David. Jake asked Allie to get the videotape of David's confession so that they could put David behind bars once and for all. Allie lowered her head. She told Jake that she'd thrown the tape away after David left town. She said that she'd never thought that David might return. And the copies that they'd made? Allie claimed that she'd taped over all of them. She flashed David a peculiar glance before redirecting her attention to Jake. David announced that since there was no longer any proof to validate Jake's claims, he'd be leaving. Jake told Keith that he had witnesses to verify what he'd said. Allie, Keith said, wouldn't do them much good considering that she was known to have committed fraud. Liza was the wife of the victim and Stuart was the brother of the victim. Keith told Jake that he wasn't going to take on a case that he couldn't win. Myrtle walked David and Keith to their cars. Allie apologized to Jake for getting rid of the tapes. He assured her that it was okay. He vowed to get even with David one way or another. Allie worried that David was back to ruin her life and begged Jake to protect her. Jake gave Allie a big hug and promised her that he wouldn't let David harm her. As they hugged, Allie's eyes scanned shiftily back and forth across the room. Jake was paged back to the hospital and Allie was left alone in the house. She scurried to the door to make sure that no one else was around. She then headed for the closet and pulled out a black handbag. She reached into the bag and removed a videocassette. "Now you're gonna have to stand by me," Allie said to herself.
Inside Holidays, Tad looked at Dixie in astonishment. "Can you hear me?" Dixie asked her former husband. He didn't respond. Dixie offered to get some help for Tad, but Tad grabbed on to her hand and wouldn't let her leave. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close to him. Tad pulled away a few seconds later and apologized for his actions. Dixie told him that she didn't mind what he'd done. She again asked Tad if he was okay. He nodded weakly, his face covered in soot. "Don't I know you from somewhere?" he asked, showing a glimmer of the Tad everyone knows and loves. Tad asked Dixie why she'd returned to Pine Valley. It led to a very brief explanation of the court order that allowed Adam temporary custody of Adam Junior. Dixie explained that Adam had wanted his son to return to Pine Valley so that he'd be safe from danger. Dixie was no longer sure if that was a wise choice, considering the war zone-like atmosphere she'd just entered. Tad solemnly noted that the explosion didn't have to have happened. Camille had tried to warn everyone about the impending danger. Dixie was surprised that Camille had been at the restaurant before it exploded. She asked Tad if Camille had been hurt. "She's dead," Tad said, nearly breaking down in tears. Dixie offered her sympathy to Tad and told Tad that she'd been led to believe that Camille was some sort of monster. Sometimes, she said, it's hard for people to believe that someone they care about could be capable of such bad things. Dixie used her denial over her late brother, Will's, as an example. Tad insisted that Camille could not have been responsible for any of the accidents that had taken place. He explained that Camille was only out to get Adam to confess to killing her mother. "Were you in love with her?" Dixie asked delicately. "No, I wasn't," Tad replied. "I wanted to be." Tad said that he nearly forced himself into caring for Camille because he needed some magic in his life. As he got to know Camille better, however, that magic started to wane. Tad admitted that he was somewhat scared by Camille's desire for revenge. The revenge had consumed the young woman. Dixie asked Tad if he had any idea who might be responsible for the numerous accidents. Tad shook his head. He said that he doesn't know yet, but he promised Dixie that he'd find out. A pair of rescue workers approached Tad and Dixie and told them that they needed to clear out. The crew had been trying to stabilize Holidays, but their attempts had failed. The only course of action left was to bring in the bulldozers and raze the building. "Take care," Dixie smiled as Tad helped her over a piece of debris. "You too," he smiled.
Hayley again asked Mateo how he'd known that Holidays was going to explode. Mateo insisted that he didn't know, but Hayley didn't buy it. She asked Matt if someone had tipped him off to the explosion. She didn't believe that it was a coincidence since this was the second time that her husband had saved her from an exploding building. Mateo claimed that he didn't have answers and urged Hayley to move away from the building because it wasn't safe. "Why?" Hayley snapped, asking her husband if he'd had "previews of coming attractions." Hayley begged Mateo to tell her how he'd been able to see into the future. Mateo led his wife to a nearby bench. Once they were sitting down, he admitted that his visions began while he was in a coma. Hayley remembered that Matt had "seen" the shooting at the gallery as well as a vision of a dress that she was supposed to have worn to Janet's wedding. Mateo finally confessed that he'd had more than just those two visions. He told Hayley about the visions of her frenzied dancing at their apartment and of the vision he had of Holidays. It took a lot of effort for him to tell his wife that in both visions, she'd "died." Hayley was visibly shaken. She pushed her husband's shoulder and asked him why he hadn't told her sooner. Mateo admitted that he was afraid and added that he wasn't exactly sure what to make of his visions. Hayley wiped tears from her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. She believed that the worst was now over. Both visions had been averted due to Mateo's quick thinking. Hayley knew that had Mateo not shown up at Holidays, she could very well have been fixing the air conditioner when the boiler exploded. Mateo lacked his wife's certainty that they were in the clear. He told her about his third vision, the one that took place at the carnival. With this third vision looming over them, Mateo wasn't ready to concede that the danger had passed.
Lee returned to the cabin in a fit of rage. "Joy, my love, my life," he screamed. "Our baby's gone!" Lee went on a tirade that had him pacing erratically across the room. "Damn you, Adam Chandler!" he yelled on several occasions. Lee saw the locket that Adam had given Joy resting on the table. This caused him to go even further over the edge. He raced to the fireplace and yanked a picture of Scott and Hayley off the mantle. He ran back across the room and slammed the picture onto a table. "An eye for an eye, a life for a life," Lee growled. He took a large knife from his pocket and stabbed it right into Hayley's forehead. "A daughter for a daughter...""
