09/07/1999 Edmund Demands To See Dimitri



"Tad and Dixie

Tad and Dixie are sitting in Adam's plane, waiting to take off. Dixie wants to know where they are going, but Tad won't say. Once they are airborne, they eat lunch and looking out the window, Dixie can tell they are going round and round in circles above Pine Valley. Dixie still can't figure out why they are there and wonders if Tad brought her there so they can start making another baby. That's not it, Tad tells her, he doesn't want Dixie to risk her health having another baby. Dixie thought they had gone over this already and settled everything. I thought we had too, until I saw this, Tad says and turns on the video tape of the day she had the miscarriage. If Dixie hid her back pain from him after all the warnings from all the doctors, how does he know she won't do the same thing if she gets pregnant again. She promises that won't happen and doesn't understand why Tad is so dead set against them having another baby. Tad decides to show her why.

Tad disappears behind the curtain and returns carrying a parachute. Dixie laughs at first, thinking that Tad is just kidding. But as he starts to strap on the parachute and move closer to the door, she gets more and more worried, telling him to get away from the door. Why, because he's taking an unnecessary risk that might endanger his life, Tad asks, trying to make his point. She pleads again for him to get away from the door. Suddenly the plane hits turbulence and Tad, whose hand was on the door lever, accidentally opens the door and gets sucked out. Dixie cautiously edges toward the door, but there's nothing she can do, Tad is gone.

David and Erica

David tries to convince Erica not to go on her business trip and to stay with him, but she has to go, she has personal appearances to make on behalf of Enchantment. She does, however, give him her itinerary with a list of phone numbers and asks him to call her often. David promises to make sure their relationship remains a secret while she's away. Erica leaves to go to Marian's brunch and then to the airport.

Adam's house

More people have shown up for Marian's brunch, including Brooke, Phoebe and Liza. Marian keeps telling everyone how much *Stuart* wants to be in the "PHAT" society. No one believes her, but everyone wants things to go well for her, except for Millicent, who clearly would rather be someone else. So would Greenlee, who spends her time waiting for Scott by flirting with the chauffeur. Vanessa arrives, much to the dismay of most of the people there, but she seems to be good friends with Millicent. When Erica and Opal arrive, Vanessa tries to hurt Opal by having Millicent make her in charge of the topiary committee, which was Opal's job for the last few years. Erica, in turn, belittles the position as being in charge of some bushes and asks Opal to join her committee to plan the benefit.

Stuart joins them on the terrace and gives the rehearsed line that Marian told him to say, but then goes on to describe the courthouse in his own more artistic terms. Marian is embarrassed and at this point Millicent decides to leave and heads into the house with Greenlee in tow. Marian rushes after them to try to convince them to stay and has almost succeeded when Stuart rushes in to ask if she knows where Adam keeps a ladder. Why, she wonders, as they rush outside. Tad is hanging by his parachute from a tree on the terrace, unharmed, but unable to get down.

Edmund and Alex

Edmund threatens to call the police to arrest Alex, but she rips the cord out of the phone and asks for a chance to explain. She tells him that Dimitri is not dead, but is in very bad condition and doesn't want anyone to see him this way. She made a promise to him that no one would know and since Edmund had refused to allow the plane to turn around, all she could think to do is to fake his death. Edmund isn't convinced that this story is true, but does remember that when he saw Dimitri in the hospital he was surprised that Dimitri still felt warm. Alex admits that Dimitri is being taken care of in a isolated part of Seaview Hospital and has been improving slightly due to the medicine he found in the vial; but he is still far from well. Edmund insists on being allowed to see Dimitri, even if that's not what Dimitri wants. Alex calls the hospital and lets them know that both she and Edmund will be arriving shortly."
