"Brooke's flight home from Nevada arrived at the airport. She was surprised to see Edmund waiting for her. She was very glad to see him. He was somewhat peeved with her because he believed she had lied to him once more. He told Brooke he knew everything so Brooke assumed he knew about Maria. He wanted to clear the air and firmly told Brooke they would talk at home in private. However, when they got into Edmund's car at the airport he demanded to know what she was hiding from him. Brooke confessed she was afraid of losing him. The tension rising, Edmund again demanded why Brooke was seeing Tad in Nevada. Brooke shouted at Edmund that Tad was helping her. With what, demanded Edmund. "Maria," Brooke replied. Edmund was stunned. Brooke, realizing that Edmund didn't really know why she had gone to Nevada explained her search for Maureen Gorman and thought she had found Maria. Edmund asked her if Maria was alive and Brooke replied hesitantly she was sure Maria was not alive.
Adam and Liza were sitting in the living room eating a light lunch. Colby was out in the swimming pool with Stuart and Marian learning to dive. Liza watched from the window for a while and then joined Adam. He asked her to slice him another piece of pumpkin bread and after she passed him the plate, she returned to the window to watch Colby. Adam quickly wrapped the knife Liza used in a napkin and put it in his pocket. A sly smile on his face. Adam told Liza he needed to go look at some spreadsheets and left the room.
Liza decided to cut a slice of bread for herself and realized the knife she used was now missing. She knew Adam had taken it. She telephoned Tad and left a message that she is puzzled by Adam's behavior as he was being very nice to her which worried her because it meant he was up to something. Stuart interrupted Liza so she hung up the phone. Stuart, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, was wearing Marian's 'Scarlet O'Hara' sun hat and with an improvised southern drawl told Liza to cheer up. Liza was commented on his attire so he explained he was taking Marian's big hat to her because she didn't want the sun to give her freckles. Stuart told Liza Adam was in a good mood because he was whistling as he worked on the convertible in the garage. Liza wondered to herself why had Adam gone to the garage when he had told her he was going to his study. Stuart left to give Marian her hat as Adam returned to the living room. Liza inquired how were the spreadsheets and Adam blankly replied he couldn't find them so they must be in another room. Liza noticed grease on Adam's collar and asked him about it. He made up an excuse he was oiling the grandfather clock. Adam then left the room to call his attorney, Barry Shire. Adam explained his plan to Barry. He had severed the brake line in the convertible and while he was driving it, he would crash the car. After he had been taken to the hospital he would demand his attorney be called and then he would set up Liza by confessing she was trying to kill him.
Liza was sitting in the living room when Adam returned from the garage. He was livid. "Where is the convertible?" he asked. Liza played dumb. Adam became rattled and admitted he knew she was faking her confusion. Liza mumbled that JR took it. Adam came unglued and raced out of the room.
