"Jake is rifling through David's papers in his desk when Anna comes in and demands to know what he thinks he's doing going through David's things. Jake tells her she's welcome to go ahead and tell her boyfriend. She looks at him quizzically, "What's your secret? Everyone else in this town has one." Jake denies having any secrets.
At his cabin, David is on the phone to his stockbroker instructing him to sell some stocks. "The hospital I work for is all over me like a wet shirt," he says on the phone. After the phone call, he picks up a vial of clear liquid and as he looks as it, he murmurs, "Everything I'm doing, it's all for you, Dixie."
In the Caribbean, Tad and Dixie return to her hotel room soaking wet, having got caught in the rain. As they dry off, and Dixie tries to get Tad to return to his own room, she collapses and almost passes out. He carries her to the bed, where she rests. She admits that going through the divorce is taking its toll on her health, with lack of appetite and not sleeping much. But she assures Tad that she is basically OK.
A worried Tad insists on calling in the hotel doctor, which Dixie at first resists. When the doctor examines Dixie, he is concerned enough to want to see her medical records.
In the courtroom while the jury is out, Bianca is horrified to realize why Erica was "protecting" her. Erica tries to gloss it all over, saying, "I did it all to save you from prison!" and can't understand why Bianca pushes her away. "You thought I killed Frankie, and walked away and left her to die!" a shocked Bianca says. "I thought you were traumatized," Erica tries to justify. "You thought I was a cold-blooded murderer!" Bianca replies. She continues, saying that Erica had manipulated the whole trial because she was convinced her own daughter was a killer. "But it all pointed to you!" Erica protests. "Not to anyone else but you, mom," Bianca retaliates. The more Erica tries to explain and justify what she did, the more shocked and hurt Bianca becomes. "You wanted control over me, so that it would just be mommy and me," she accuses. When Erica reiterates how much she loves Bianca, Bianca responds by saying she doesn't want that kind of love. Erica accuses Bianca of just wanting to hurt her, and insists that she just wanted to protect Bianca. She adds that Bianca would never have survived in prison. "So that's it - you think I'm a loser!" Bianca cries. "The truth is you're ashamed of me!" As they argue at each other, Chris comes in and tells them the jury has reached a verdict again.
At the Pine Cone Motel, Ryan sees smoke coming out from under the door of Kendall's room. He bangs on the door and calls her name, but on receiving no answer, he goes in and sees her lying unconscious on the bed as the smoke swirls around. He carries her outside and gives her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. As she comes around, she shoves him off with an angry, "What do you call that - foreplay?" Ryan retaliates in kind, yelling that he saved her life, and what was she thinking? He accuses her of being ungrateful, and she says it's all Erica's fault. Ryan is amazed. Kendall says she wouldn't even be in Pine Valley but for Erica's stupid schemes. They argue about Kendall's motives for being in town, and Ryan then says, "You could have died, and all you focus on is Erica!"
Tad calls Jake, and tells him about Dixie. He asks Jake to get Dixie's medical records and fax them to the hotel doctor to see. Jake says he'll get on it immediately, and will contact Dr. Johanson, Dixie's current cardiologist. Tad and Dixie try to relax, as the hotel doctor has told Tad to stay with Dixie through the night. The storm has knocked out the television, so Tad explores the room's mini fridge. Dixie laughs at his delight in finding all sorts of his favorite snacks, as well as an assortment of drinks and soft drinks. But she tries to persuade him to go back to his own room. He tells Dixie that he will stay with her as long as he is still her husband - for the next 48 hours.
Anna asks Jake what happened, and he tells her about Dixie. "Shouldn't you ask David for a consult?" she asks. Jake tells her David hasn't been Dixie's cardiologist for more than a year, and gets busy on the phone and computer to get everything Tad requested. Anna quietly slips out and goes to meet David at his cabin. After she leaves, Jake goes through more of David's papers, puzzled over what they are.
When Anna arrives at the cabin, David asks her why she took so long to get there. She tells him she caught Jake going through his papers, but David isn't too concerned. "He's just so pompous and self-righteous," he tells Anna, and asks if there was anything else. "No, nothing at all," Anna lies, as David draws her to him in a kiss.
Ryan and Kendall are still arguing as they survey the smoke damage in her room, when Bianca arrives. Kendall is shocked when Bianca tells her the verdict. "So, she pulled it off," Kendall says. "The two of you did it. She used me to save you." Bianca is in agreement for once. "I know, I agree!" she says. But Kendall angrily rejects Bianca's sympathy.
Anna and David are starting to get passionate under a blanket by the fireside when the phone rings. The answering machine kicks in, and David leaps up when he hears Dr. Johanson say there's a change in Dixie's condition. David is stunned and frantically demands to know all the details. He hurriedly writes down the information of where Dixie is as he hastily gets dressed. Anna looks on with an annoyed look on her face. "Hello? I'm still here!" David tells her he has to leave immediately. "I don't think so," she replies. "This is very important," David tells her. "So is this," she scowls, and grabs his shirt from his hands.
Erica is delighted to hear that the verdict is "not guilty," and she turns around to Bianca with a huge smile, but Bianca ignores her and leaves the courtroom. Erica is devastated and turns to Chris for comfort. But Chris tells her he's through. Erica begs him not to go, "You didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth," he says angrily. "Miss Kane, it's time to rebuild your empire," and stalks off to the waiting reporters outside. Erica sits down and covers her face with her hands as she weeps. Suddenly, she feels a hand on her shoulder, and looks up to see Jackson. She immediately goes into his comforting arms."
