"Frantic and concerned for her child's safety, Opal raced Petey to the hospital after he had unknowingly poisoning himself. Apparently the child drank nearly a full bottle of cough medicine that Palmer had left laying around the house. Opal had done everything she was supposed to do, including administering syrup of ipecac, but Petey's condition didn't improve. Fortunately Opal had brought along the bottle of ipecac. Jake was able to look at the expiration date on the remedy and realize that the ipecac's potency had expired. Petey refused to drink any more of the vile tasting syrup. Not even his mom could convince him to drink it. Allie stepped in and told the boy that he needed to drink the ipecac if he wanted to feel better. Petey agreed and, after vomiting was induced, he was given a green light to return home. Allie cast a strange and longing stare at Petey. Perhaps she was feeling relieved now that her first treatment was safely under her belt. But the success of the moment was soon lost in one of Palmer's famous tirades. He blasted Jake and Allie for their lack of on the job experience and said that they should have found a more experienced physician to handle Petey's poisoning. Opal rolled her eyes as she listened to her hubby's rants and raves. Palmer threatened to report Allie to the chief-of-staff and ask for her to be taken off of staff. Opal assured Palmer that Allie had done everything in a professional manner and asked that he not take out his anger at himself on someone else. She said that Palmer did not want to blame himself for letting the bottle of cough medicine out in the open so he was being nasty to Jake and Allie instead.

Erica flipped when she saw the reported badgering her daughter. She raced up the stairs and prepared to "kill the witch." The witch, of course, being Liza. Liza was stunned at the results of the pregnancy test. Tad was speechless, torn between offering congratulations and condolences. At the moment, Erica burst into the room and gave Liza a piece of her mind. Liza told Erica that she should be used to living life under a microscope---it comes with fame and fortune. Erica agreed that her fame has thrust her into the public spotlight, but she does not feel that her child should have to suffer. But that was a pointless comment, Erica realized. Erica said that Liza could never understand the lengths that a mother would go to to protect her child. She then thanked God that Liza is childless. Tad stepped in and told Erica that she has said enough. Liza dashed out the room. Tad told Erica that Travis had contacted the station and announced that he would be suing WRCW over their "attack" on his daughter. Erica was stunned: Travis and Barbara know? She ran to the phone and prepared to make flight reservations for a trip to Seattle. Adam depressed the receiver and told Erica that she was not going anywhere... at least not as long as his million dollar bond was on the line. Erica saw the logic in Adam's statement and decided that it would be better to call Bianca. Erica dialed the digits to her daughter's house, but Barbara, Travis' wife, refused to let Erica speak to her daughter. Barbara vowed to keep Bianca out of the media circus and out of contact with Erica. Erica begged Barbara to explain to Bianca that she meant no harm to Maria's baby. Barbara uttered a chuckle of disgust and hung up the phone. Perhaps Jack could help. After all, he is Bianca's uncle.

At Holiday's Janet had to count and recount the money in the register. Her mind was cluttered with recollections of "the kiss"--- or is that "the kisses?" Jack showed up and told Janet about his hectic day in court. He said that he was trying to contact Trevor to discuss the case with him, but learned that Trevor was out of town. Janet claimed that she was the reason behind Trevor's sudden departure. Janet told Jack the whole story about kissing Trevor. Jack was surprised, but very happy for Janet. Kevin interrupted the discussion with news that Erica had called Jack's answering service. Jack refused to return Erica's call. He told Janet, who pushed Jack to return the call, that he could not show Erica preferential treatment. End of discussion. Before leaving, Jack told Janet to be patient with Trevor because he's had his heart broken more than once. Janet tilted her head to one side and look Jack in the eyes and asked "He's not the only one, huh counselor?"

Liza returned to her condo by the waterfront. Apparently she had not sold the property as she had once reported. She'd been keeping the place in mothballs as an escape pod from Chandler Mansion. Liza recalled her memorable encounters with Adam. Surprisingly, all of the memories were pleasant. She then fantasized about how she wanted Adam to react when she told him that she was pregnant. In the dream, Adam would give Liza a big hug and tell her what a wonderful and beautiful woman she is. When a knock sounded at the door, Liza hoped that Adam had followed her to the condo. He hadn't. Tad, toting a bag of cookies and other goodies, said that he doesn't want Liza to spend the night alone. Again Liza talked of not knowing what to do now that she's pregnant. She told Tad that Adam shows "glimpses" of a loving and caring man, but she stopped short of saying that she loves Adam.

Stuart returned to Chandler Mansion to take some pictures of the sunroom. He planned on using the photos for an upcoming painting project. Stuart learned that Tad had been with Liza earlier in the evening. He then asked Adam if Tad seemed sad. He showed, Stuart commented, now that he and Gloria are no longer together.

In the morning, a nurse found a corpse in an examining room. She asked Jake to look into the matter. When he did, he found that the corpse wasn't as dead as you'd expect. The corpse was actually Allie catching a few winks between shifts.

Erica tracked Jack down at Holidays in the morning and asked him why he had turned his back on her. She said that she was not asking for personal favors, she needed Jack to help Bianca.

Liza thanked Tad for spending the night with her with a hug. As they hugged, Adam arrived at the entrance to the condo."
