"Adam was incensed that Skye had resorted to childish behavior and asked if her return to drinking was sparked by a bad hair day. Erica told her father that she was trying to stop Erica from making a big mistake. Adam seemed confused by Skye's wanting to stop Erica from marrying Dimitri. After all, he said, this was their third wedding. He tried to slip away and head for the Marick mine, but Skye threw a tantrum. She accused him of deserting her and only giving five minutes of his time to her each year. Adam blasted Skye of making a shambles of Erica's wedding. Skye sobbed as she told Adam that all of her friends had dumped her and that Edmund---the man she loves---doesn't return any feelings for her. Adam rolled his eyes when he realized that Skye was hopelessly chasing after a married man. He told her that Edmund is inaccessible because he is madly in love with his wife. "It's rare," Adam said of a husband being devoted to his wife. "But it happens." Skye insisted that she does not want another man. Adam told Skye that she could learn a lot from her half-sister Hayley. He said that she stood tall even when her mother bedded her husband. He then told her that if she continues to act like a child, he'll treat her like a child. He then gave her the option of walking out of Wildwind or being hoisted over her father's shoulder and carried out.
Joe did his best to break the news to Erica gently, but he could find no easy way to tell her that she had lost her baby. He said that most miscarriages occur during the first trimester. Erica denied losing her baby, saying that she prayed for a strong, healthy baby. Joe said that some things are beyond his control and that he will never understand why horrible things happen to good people. Gloria entered the room to offer her consolation to Erica. When Gloria lost her little girl, Anna Claire, Erica came to her side and offered her Mona's Bible as a way to find some comfort. Gloria returned the favor by returning Mona's Bible.
Edmund arrived at the hospital and learned of Erica's miscarriage from Maria. He asked Maria to pass along his sympathy to Erica, but he refused to feel sorry for Dimitri. Maria tried to elicit some sort of feeling, some compassion, anything from her husband. Edmund remained emotionless.
Erica told Dimitri that their hopes and dreams of having a family together were shattered. Dimitri put her fears to rest and said that she did not let him down and that as long as they have each other in their lives they'll be fine. Erica asked Dimitri to go to Bianca and let her know that she was okay. She did not want her daughter to learn of the miscarriage from "the help."
Maria entered the room and told Erica she was "sorry." Erica nodded and told Maria that she should be sorry because she is the reason that she lost her baby. She accused Maria of not wanting "to share the spotlight" with another pregnant woman and told her that she should have known her condition was serious rather than letting her go through with the wedding. She blasted Maria for having Dr. Clader by her side when she experienced cramping and then turning around and offering no medical consultation to her until it was too late. Maria told Erica that she wished with all her heart that the miscarriage never happened. Erica didn't believe it. "My baby died today because of you," Erica said with tears rolling down her cheeks. She turned her head, refused to look at Maria, and ordered her out of her room.
At the chapel, Dimitri begged God to give Erica support and guidance. He said that he should be the one who was punished, not Erica or her child. Edmund walked by the chapel and overheard Dimitri's prayers. He told Dimitri that he is very sorry for Erica and hopes that she'll be fine. He left without offering any words of support to his brother. Maria entered the chapel a few moments later and told Dimitri that Erica needed him. She then took to a pew and began some prayers of her own. She said that she had "forgotten how to pray," but that her mother told her that God will forgive any sin. She said that she should have been the one to suffer, not Erica. She turned and saw Edmund at the door and ran away.
Trevor offered words of encouragement to Janet and Amanda, but there was no hiding the seriousness of the condition. Trevor tried to get near the well so he could somehow scale the walls and rescue his daughter. Jack intervened and kept Trevor from risking his own safety. Jake volunteered to descend into the well, adding that he has emergency medical training and is the best suited person for the rescue. Outside, Liza took to the airwaves again and began talking of Janet and Natalie's well saga from a few years back. Jack ordered Liza to stop broadcasting or he'd slap her with an "obstruction of justice" offense. Liza insisted that she had a right to broadcast anything that she wanted and took the credit for finding Amanda in the first place. Jake retrieved a rope and some blankets from the WRCW van. He tossed a blanket to Janet and told her to bundle up Amanda with it. Liza and her cameraman crony slipped back into the mine and began taping. Jake scaled the walls and eventually touched bottom. He checked Amanda's condition and diagnosed her as suffering from hypothermia. He told Janet that the condition could be very serious if she did not get help immediately. Using the blanket as a "cocoon," Janet and Jake secured Amanda to Jake's back and attempted an emergency rescue. Trevor saw that Liza was in the mine and overheard her refer to Janet as Amanda's mom. He blew a fuse and chased Liza and the cameraman from the mine. Outside, he grabbed the camera and smashed it on the ground. He told Liza that the next time, he'll smash her! Liza ordered her assistant to obtain another camera by the time Amanda gets plucked from the well or he'll be standing in line at the unemployment office. The rescue crews were stuck in a traffic jam on the interstate, but Jake managed to get Amanda out of the well safely. Her condition remained the same---critical---but Trevor was thankful to have his daughter out of the well in one piece and alive. Liza and her cameraman went back into the mine for some close-up shots. Jack told Janet that they'd be rescuing her next. As the cameraman moved closer to the edge of the well for some photos, his foot pressed into the decrepit stone exterior of the mine. The structure gave way, sending dozens of heavy rocks tumbling down on to Janet---burying her alive."
