"Ryan watched Mia as she slept. Sensing this, Mia awoke. They both agreed they had slept well. Mia got up and began to dress. Ryan offered her coffee, but Mia said no. She told him she hadn't meant to sleep there. Ryan told her he was glad she did. Mia apologized to Ryan for her behavior at SOS the night before. She had been upset because Liza really didn't want a sister. As Ryan tried to comfort her, there was a knock at the door. Then they heard Liza call out for Ryan. They sat up in the bed as they decided what to do. Mia decided to go into the bathroom. Ryan got up and answered the door. When Liza entered the room, she noticed the black bra on the bed. Ryan asked why she was there. She replied that she had come to discuss the playground that was to be erected in Gillian's honor. She wanted to add a storybook theme because Gillian's life had been like a fairytale. Ryan said it was a fairytale without a happy ending. Liza was flustered by Ryan's remark and thought it might not be a good idea after all. Ryan convinced her they should go to the park and discuss it. He told her he would meet her at the park after he showered. After Liza had gone, Mia came out of the bathroom. Ryan apologized and asked if she'd like to take a shower. She said no and reminded Ryan that Liza was waiting for him. As Ryan went to take his shower, Mia sat down on the bed.
While Liza waited for Ryan, she watched a mother and child at play. Ryan arrived with coffee. As he approached her, he noticed she was smiling as she watched the mother and child. He asked if she knew them. She said no, she just thought the child was cute. Ryan said she'd been thinking about children a lot lately - especially with the playground memorial. Liza said she felt it was important to move ahead with life and have new experiences and meet new people. When Ryan questioned her, Liza told him she saw the women's clothing in his room. She wanted to know who the woman was and if it was someone she knew. Liza then apologized and said it was none of her business who Ryan slept with. Ryan said it was complicated. Liza longed for the times when life was less complicated - before they were mixed up. Ryan said he felt closer to Liza since they slept together. Liza felt Ryan could see right through her. Ryan asked her how her relationship with Adam was. Liza replied that it was getting better. With working full time, taking care of Colby and watchdogging Adam, Ryan didn't know how Liza did it. He was fearful Colby could end up being just like Adam if Liza didn't watch her carefully. Since they were friends, Ryan said he cared and would be there to help her. Just then Marian walked up. Hearing the last bit of Ryan and Liza's conversation, Marian exclaimed, "Oh, my God! You told him? Liza glared at Marian. She then tried to cover it by saying that it was his job at WRCW she was worried about. She had not been able to replace Ryan and now wondered if he might consider coming back to work. Ryan wasn't sure that was what he wanted. He decided to leave but agreed they'd talk about it later. After Ryan had gone, Marian told Liza she needed to tell him about the pregnancy. Liza explained that she had been about to tell him, but when she got to his room, she realized someone was there with him. Marian was shocked. Liza assured her that it didn't bother her. She didn't have any claims on Ryan and was glad he had moved on. Marian asked Liza if she was so glad - why did she look so sad. Liza told Marian she had never been happier in her whole life. Marian said it wasn't as bad as it seemed. Liza just wished it would all go away. Marian asked if Liza really wanted the child. She thought Liza should take time to think about what she wanted to do before she told anyone else of her pregnancy. She advised Liza to listen to what her own body was feeling. Any decision had to come from Liza herself. Liza said she wanted to stay with Adam. She felt the baby could be his. She wasn't going to tell Ryan. As long as she believed the baby was Adam's, everything would be fine.
Meanwhile, in Ryan's room, Mia was going through Ryan's things. She found a box and examined a picture she found in it. As she continued examining the box, she found it had a false bottom in it. Removing the piece, she noticed a paper under it. She unfolded the paper and read it. It appeared to be a birth certificate for "John Ryan Curry." Mia called Adam to inform him she had searched the room and was unable to find anything about Ryan. She quickly hung up when she heard Ryan at the door. When Ryan came into the room, he asked why Mia was still there. Mia smiled at him and asked if he was ready for round 2.
As Anna relaxed and sipped her tea, her thoughts returned to the events of the night before at David's suite. She recalled David's passionate foreplay that had quickly turned to anger when she answered his phone. She smiled smugly to herself realizing David was hiding something from her. She promised herself David wouldn't be hiding it from her for long. She picked up a tracking device and watched as someone approached her suite. She got up and went to the door, feigning surprise when she saw David there. He smiled and said he had tried to call her the night before but was unable to get through. Anna explained that she hadn't wanted to be disturbed. She asked David what he wanted. He said they had started something the night before and he wanted to finish it. Anna held the door open as David walked into the room. She thought last night had gone well until he had gotten angry with her for answering his phone. David wanted to know why she had asked him about Proteus. He said he was a student of mythology, which was why he was interested in Proteus. He wanted to know why she was interested. He felt she was after the illusive and felt almost envious. David got up and said he had to leave, but would be back. He told Anna she'd know it was him - even with her eyes closed. After David had gone, Anna picked up her tracking device and said, "You're right, David! I will know it's you and all your dirty little secrets!"
Anna entered the cabin very cautiously. She wandered around inside, noting the covered furniture. As she lifted a sheet to take a peek, she heard a noise and looked up to see David. He had a bottle of champagne and a glass. He lounged against the door and asked Anna what kept her so long. He sauntered into the room and lifted the sheet. Picking up a tracking device, he moved it over his bag, which immediately began beeping. He wanted Anna to know he was on to her. He poured the champagne and handed Anna a glass, cautioning her to drink slowly because of the altitude. Taking their drinks, they went out to the deck to enjoy the view of Pine Valley. Looking at the view, Anna asked, "What is this place?" and David replied, "It's me." Anna wanted to know why David had led her there. David replied, "You should know." Anna asked David again why he lured her up there. He replied that he wanted to be alone with her. She felt a little overwhelmed with him and the champagne. Anna asked if anyone else knew about his little hideaway. He said no. He thought he'd eventually live there. Anna glanced around the room and asked what was under the covers. David told her to look around if what she wanted to do was dig around trying to find out what's in his head. Why spend time doing that when she could just reach up and touch the sky. That's how close to heaven they are. Anna was mesmerized by David's seductive words. She moved towards him and they kissed. They continued their love making - tantalizing each other with their moves.
As Dixie slept, Tad crept into the room and began kissing the back of her neck. She awoke and they playfully teased each other. Tad pretended to be a Frenchman who wanted to ravish Dixie. As he nibbled at her neck and ear, he saw Jesse lying at the foot of the bed. Startled, he jumped and shouted, "Get out of her right now!" When Dixie expressed her surprise at Tad's actions, he tried to explain them by telling her he thought there was something coming out of the woodwork. Dixie assumed he saw a spider and Tad ordered the spider to get out. Knowing Tad really meant him; Jesse said he was not leaving until Tad came clean with Dixie. As Tad continued his conversation with Jesse, Dixie asked who he was talking to. Tad said he was talking to himself. He was tired and had jet lag. Jesse felt Tad was using that as an excuse and really wanted to get revenge on David. Tad tried to smooth it over with Dixie and explain why he had left on such a short notice. Dixie wanted Tad to get some rest, but Tad swore he just wanted her. She left the room to freshen up. Once Dixie was out of the room, Tad laid into Jesse. He was angry with Jesse for not leaving and letting him have time alone with Dixie. Jesse tried to convince Tad to tell Dixie just what he was up to. Tad wanted Jesse to leave him alone with Dixie. Jesse just wanted Tad to tell Dixie what he was up to. He told Tad he couldn't leave because he'd been stuck between Tad and the doctor (David). Just as Tad ordered Jesse to leave, Dixie walked into the room. Tad nervously tried to explain what he was doing. He tried to tell Dixie that talking to himself was a relaxation exercise, but Dixie wasn't falling for it. She told him his technique wasn't working because he was still very tense. Tad said that was why he was putting a stop to it. Jesse knew Tad meant him and he said "no way." He wasn't leaving because Dixie needed a friend. Tad said out loud, "She doesn't need you!" Having taken this all in, Dixie decided it was time to make coffee. When Dixie was gone, Tad turned to Jesse and accused him of interfering with his marriage. Jesse replied that he was just saving Tad's behind. As Tad argued with him, Jesse informed Tad that he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life. Jesse felt the mission Tad was on to destroy David Hayward would end up destroying him. Tad explained that he could not give it up. Tad and Jesse continued arguing about David. Tad wanted to stop him from screwing with people's lives. Tad went over to the door and listened. Then he turned to Jesse and told him Dixie was coming and he asked that Jesse go and so he could be alone with her. Jesse again refused. He said he had to stay with Tad. Tad warned Jesse that he'd seen "Ghost Busters" three times. Unfazed, Jesse told Tad he was stuck with him. With that Tad lunged at Jesse. As they struggled on the bed, Tad hit Jesse with the pillow. Hearing shouts, Tad turned to see Joe and Dixie standing in the doorway. Tad pretended nothing was wrong when he greeted his father. Joe explained that Dixie had called him. Tad insisted he was fine. Dixie said he hadn't been fine since his fall at the hospital. Jesse urged Tad to tell, but he lied again. He said it was jet lag. Joe wanted Tad to go back to the hospital for some tests. Tad refused. Joe wouldn't take no for an answer. If Tad wouldn't go to the hospital with him, Joe was going to bring the hospital psychiatrist back with him. Jesse snickered as he listened. Joe finished checking Tad and declared him physically fine. Tad insisted there was no problem. Dixie disagreed with that. He was talking to himself - there was a problem. As he continued to insist there was no problem, the phone rang. Tad answered the phone only to find out it was Leslie Coulson."
