"Ryan continued his conversation with Erica while everyone eagerly listened. Erica begged him to come to Vegas as he was the "only one" she could trust. He acted like he didn't know where she was and Erica said "They know where I am, they pay people to watch me." She stumbled and then thought she heard cards being shuffled. Ryan asked what was going on and she asked if he heard that. He said no and asked where she was. She said "in hell." She cried and said she needed him to come get her. Ryan agreed and said he'd be there as soon as possible. Erica hung up and stumbled around the room, seeing double. She talked out loud to her father, saying that Ryan was coming and would make him go away. She stumbled over to the door and tried to open it but Zach had locked it from the outside. She began hallucinating severely and thought she picked up the death card from a pack of Taro cards. Erica crawled onto the sofa and covered up with a blanket sobbing "You can't do that! I'm not going to die!" with her eyes closed tightly. When she opened her eyes she thought she was in a coffin. She begged to be let out and then looked around the room. Everyone she loved was there dressed in mourning. She heard them talk about paying their last respects and watched as they stood in front of her. Erica tried to get them to listen to her but they didn't respond to her, only each other. Ryan came to the coffin last and said he was sorry he didn't make it in time. Then everyone went out the door and Erica watched Jack close the door. She thought she saw a hooded man across the room and began yelling at him, saying her life wasn't over, she couldn't be dead. The coffin lid closed.
When Ryan hung up his phone, he told everyone that it sounded like Erica had been drinking. He said he'd call his pilot and have him file a flight plan. Kendall got in his face and said no. They began to argue and Kendall said Erica was in a booze-induced haze and incapable of knowing who or what she needed. Kendall thought Jack should be the one to go to Erica. Jack said no, that Erica reached out to Ryan because she trusted him. Kendall continued arguing until Jack got angry and said she would not stand in the way of anyone trying to help Erica. Kendall backed down and was very hurt that he thought she didn't want Erica to be helped. She said she hated the fact that Erica was drinking and hurting. Kendall talked about finding Erica and being close to her for about 5 minutes and then Erica left. Bianca hugged Kendall, and Kendall said she didn't want Erica back if she was just going to push them all away again. Jack said he was glad Erica called Ryan because Ryan could be objective. Greenlee and Bianca agreed and Ryan said he'd go home and pack some clothes then get to the plane. He and Greenlee left. Minutes later Bianca and Kendall went into the hallway outside Jack's apartment. They hugged and talked about their mother. Bianca said things would never be the same between them again. They talked about their reasons for keeping Erica in the dark about Bianca's pregnancy. Bianca said no matter what, Erica's drinking wasn't their fault. Bianca was worried about how to react when Erica comes back to Pine Valley. Kendall said they would have to convince her they never meant to hurt her. Kendall left and Bianca went back inside. She said down with Jack, who told her how special and brave she was. Bianca denied it and said she just doesn't know what else to do but to keep going on. Jack said she gave the whole family hope and hugged her tightly. He said they'd get the best help for Erica. Meanwhile Ryan packed a bag and he and Greenlee went to the jet. He asked if she wanted to come with him and Greenlee said no, Erica wouldn't be thrilled to see her. Ryan said he'd miss Greenlee and then kissed her. Greenlee left and Ryan called the pilot to see when they would be taking off. When he turned around Kendall walked on board. She demanded that he let her go with him. He refused and she told him she just wanted to talk to her mother before she got back into Pine Valley. She wanted to let Erica know some things about Bianca so that the two of them could get back what they had. Kendall promised to behave and Ryan said he thought it was a really bad idea. But finally Kendall convinced him and Ryan said she could go with him. Greenlee went back to Jack's and told him and Bianca that Ryan was on his way. Reggie and Bianca left Jack and Greenlee to talk alone. Greenlee said she knew things would all work out.
Liza told David he could give her the ammo she needed to get rid of Krystal. She said she'd done some genealogy searching and found Babe's father, a Dr. Ronald Fitzgerald at Stanford University. David was shocked because he knew him. Liza asked if David knew where Dr. Fitzgerald had gone after Stanford and David said northern California to go into pediatrics. Liza tried to get David to call him for a visit, handing him the phone number. David refused to help her get Tad. Liza claimed it was for the good of the Chandler family, to expose Krystal for what she was. David said he thought Liza's obsession with Krystal and Tad was becoming unhealthy. They argued and Liza picked up a plastic baggie with a swab in it and commented "Talk about unhealthy! That's unsanitary!." David said that for a moment, that bag might have contained a miracle. She didn't understand what he meant and put the bag down. He told her it was the swab that had Bess's DNA and he had hoped to prove Bess was really Bianca's baby, until Tad burst that bubble with his announcement at the wedding. Liza said Tad wouldn't lie about that but Krystal might have done some switching. David told Liza she needed help and pushed her out the door. Later he walked around the cabin and picked up the bag and thought about what Liza said.
Liza made a phone call to Dr. Fitzgerald and said WRCW was doing a medical report and needed his help. She offered to fly him to Pine Valley and he was interested.
Tad tried to get Krystal to come to after being hit by the baseball. She hallucinated and thought Bianca was leaning over her, saying she wanted Miranda. Krystal said "Can't hurt Babe and JR" and Tad asked what could hurt them. She muttered "Miranda." Finally Tad got her to sit up and said he was taking her to the ER. At first she refused but when she saw how concerned Tad was she agreed. He got her to the ER and Joe checked her out. He said she had to stay overnight for observation and Tad asked if he could stay too. Joe said that was up to Krystal and left the room. Tad said he felt responsible and wanted to take care of her. Krystal said he was such a gentleman. Tad started questioning her about what she said at the ball park about Miranda. Krystal blamed her ramblings on being hit by a ball. Tad said it was more than that; it had something to do with Miranda. He said he was scared for her and that he knew she was truly a good person. "You can tell me whatever is bothering you." Krystal looked like she wanted to spill everything and said she was so afraid, "Babe could lose everything she ever loved." She said she had nightmares that she was watching her grandbaby drown in the river. Krystal said that ever since the wedding, with Babe wondering whether the baby was hers and Kendall throwing such a fit, that the nightmares had been getting worse. She worried about Kendall stirring up trouble. Tad said the only person who could destroy Babe's life was JR. Krystal said it was her own crazy life that made her worry so much for Babe. She went on about what a hard life she'd had, bringing up Babe alone. Then she looked at Tad and said he wouldn't understand, having had such a great life being brought up by a doctor. Tad said he could stack his miserable childhood up next to her life anytime. Krystal was confused and Tad explained about Ray Gardner. He said that no matter how great his life had been since coming to the Martin's, he still remembered what it was like before. "The past doesn't always want to stay buried" he told Krystal. She said he was a lucky guy. Tad said he wanted to make her feel safe and they hugged."
