"Erica was in the dining room holding Jack's hand and starting to get passionate. She told him that she felt she could tell him anything. She left her chair to sit on his lap and Jack asked her whom she was trying to make jealous this time. Palmer and Vanessa then came into the dining room and walked past Erica. Erica told Palmer that he would always have a part of her heart. Palmer then kissed her hand and told her that "she is really in a mood today." Erica told Palmer not to come to close because she was feeling absolutely foot loose. Vanessa, under her breath, said "she was acting screw loose." David then came up to Erica and told Jack to excuse him but he was just about to take Erica home. Erica told both Jack and David that she was having fun. David commented that she was having "a little too much fun." Jack said to let Erica make the decision. Erica asked if they were going to fight over her. Jack asked Erica if that is what she wanted. She told Jack that she wanted to dance. Jack told her that there was no music. Erica told Jack that if he danced with her, he would never regret it. Jack told Erica that he could never regret it, he had her in his arms. David just looked on, in disgust. Jack told Erica that he felt she had too much to drink. She said that she felt drunk on passion, for love. Jack looked at David and asked him if he did this to her. David tried to get Erica to leave. She told him that her headache was gone. Erica then told David and Jack that there was something she needed to do first. Erica went to the piano and prepared to sing --- yes, sing. Before she started she said that there were "3 special men" in the audience that loved her and that this song was for them. When she was done with her song, David picked her up from the top of the piano and told her he was taking her away. Palmer and Vanessa were in the dining room listening to Erica sing. Palmer gave Vanessa a beautiful pearl necklace. He told her that it was on loan. It would be hers as long as she behaved herself. He then excused himself to make a phone call.
Bianca and Rain were at Erica's home talking. Bianca asked Rain if she took her to the bar because she thought she was like her. Rain said that she was hoping she might be. Rain asked her if she was OK with that. Bianca then asked Rain if other people thought that. Rain said that people think what they think. Rain was surprised to hear Bianca tell her that Erica doesn't have a clue about Bianca being "gay." Rain told Bianca that her mother knew about her when she was younger. Rain's mother had found books in Rain's room about female models and pictures that she circled with hearts. Rain told Bianca that her mother kept asking her why she didn't go on dates and what boys she liked. Rain said that her mother kept asking her these questions all the time and was getting nasty so finally one day she told her mom that she was "gay." Rain's mother then told her that she didn't want a "gay" daughter and kicked her out of the house. Rain told Bianca not to feel sorry for her. Rain told Bianca that Erica wouldn't kick her out because she loves her too much. Rain said that if Erica didn't know about it, she couldn't stop it. Rain told Bianca that it would be hard for Erica to accept her being gay when she found a girlfriend. Bianca said that the very last thing she was thinking about was having a relationship now. Rain asked Bianca if she ever had a relationship. Bianca told her that it was a total disaster and she began telling her about Sara. Bianca told Rain that it was a good relationship and then something happened. Sara decided that she didn't want to be gay. Rain told Bianca that she liked her and Bianca returned the compliment. Rain said that she liked it in Pine Valley and she wants to stay here. Rain said that she wants to get a job and get her own place. Rain suggested that they go to a movie sometime.

Leo told Laura that it was an image of him and he didn't give her permission to take the picture. Laura said that it was a picture of him not being the Leo that everyone knows. Laura told Leo that for a whole 10 seconds, he let his guard down and she snapped the picture. Leo and Laura came into the house and startled Bianca and Rain.

Laura told Bianca that she looked beautiful in the pictures and she captured the real "you."
Stuart, Marian, and Hayley were at the gallery talking. Stuart couldn't believe that Mateo felt Hayley needed protection from her mother. Marian told Stuart that Arlene had been hurting Hayley for years. Hayley told Stuart that she physically didn't hurt her but with Mateo, it was different. Marian asked Hayley if Arlene made a pass at Mateo. Hayley told them "yes." Hayley also said that there was nothing worse than a falling down drunk who thinks she is irresistible. Stuart asked Hayley not to talk about Arlene like that. Stuart said that he didn't feel she would have done it if she wasn't drinking. Stuart said that Arlene is the sadist person he ever knew. He also said that she just wanted to be loved. He told Hayley that he hates to see her so angry with her mom. Hayley told him that it would never change for her or her mother. Uncle Stuart told Hayley that she would be happier all around if she wasn't so mad all the time at her mother. Hayley said that she would talk to Stuart from now on. She left the gallery and then Stuart and Marian continued the conversation. Marian told Stuart that he is the kindest man on earth but sometimes he makes her so angry she could explode.

Stuart told Arlene that she needs to start over someplace else. Arlene told Stuart that she doesn't even have bus fare to Pittsburgh. Stuart said that he wished he could help her but he couldn't. Arlene hugged Stuart and said that he was the only who knows that she is not bad and really has a heart. While they were hugging, Marian was outside looking through the window. Marian came storming into the building and called Arlene a "miserable witch" and told her to take her hands off of her husband. Marian told Arlene to get out of the building now. Stuart gave her one of his pictures off the wall and told her that it wasn't much but it might help her when she left town.

When she left, Arlene was talking to herself and said that she had come this far without any help and she would help herself from now on. Stuart came out the door and told Arlene to call him when she got settled because if she was really alone, he didn't want her to be completely alone. Stuart told Arlene that no one should ever feel that way. Arlene left and told Stuart "thank you."
Dimitri and Edmund were at the mausoleum. Edmund thought he was alone and asked Dimitri how long he had been standing there. Dimitri said long enough to hear him talking about getting someone out of his head. Edmund said that he was talking to himself. He told Dimitri that he wished Hugo would have taken his secret to his grave and then they would not know they were brothers. Dimitri tried to get Edmund to come back to the house and Edmund told him that it was not his house any more. Dimitri told Edmund that father wanted it to be his.

Dimitri tried one more time to get Edmund to come back to the house with him. Edmund turned on him and said that if he took one more step...... Dimitri then left.
Dimitri met with Alexandra at the Valley Inn and he told her that he just left Edmund at the mausoleum and he felt that Edmund was having a breakdown. Alexandra said that she would call Brooke because she and Edmund are good friends and he would probably listen to her. Alexandra sent a message back to Dimitri saying that she had an emergency and had to leave.
Hayley and Mateo were in the Valley Inn watching the Erica floorshow. Hayley told Mateo that she got rid of the private eye that he had tailing her. Mateo said that he did not have a private eye tailing her so Hayley thought it might be her father who hired him. Mateo told Hayley that he did tell her father that if Arlene got near Hayley again, he would be responsible so he must have hired the private eye. Hayley told Mateo that her mother has disappeared again and maybe this time it was for good. They toasted to that.
Bianca and Leo were looking at the pictures that Laura took of them at SOS. Bianca really liked the pictures and Leo finally agreed also.
