"The sun slowly rose over the Manhattan skyline. It cast a somber shadow on a figure sitting alone atop the Statler Building. Tad spent the night on the rooftop hoping that Dixie would show. In his mind, he recalled the agreement he and Dixie had made; if one of them did not show up, they would accept their decision and they'd never talk about it. Tad shook his head and refused to just let Dixie walk out of his life. Tad headed to Dixie's hotel and burst into the room through the slightly open door. A woman was looking over the room to make sure that everything was in order. When Tad burst into the room, the woman told Tad that the room was occupied and that he was trespassing. Tad shushed the woman, saying that he knew the woman who was occupying the room. The woman, who introduced herself as the hotel manager, stunned Tad when she told him that the room was occupied by a pair of newlyweds. Dixie, he learned, had checked out the day before. Tad pressed the manager for information about where Dixie might have gone. The manager sighed and announced that Miss Cooney had called down to the front desk for flight information to West Virginia. Something didn't add up. Tad knew that Dixie would never fly back to Pigeon Hollow without Junior. Tad explained her relationship with Dixie to the hotel manager and asked her if she'd ever seen the film "An Affair to Remember." The manager rolled her eyes and told Tad that she didn't have time to discuss old movies with him. Tad took a few seconds to explain to the woman that he and Dixie were supposed to have met atop the Statler Building---just like (or very close to) the film. When Tad misidentified the stars of the film, the woman cringed in horror. She seemed almost appalled that Tad had never seen the film. The hotel manager broke down in tears as she recalled the dramatic finale of the film. Carey Grant waited atop the Empire State Building for Deborah Carr, who had been delayed and unable to arrive at the preset time. Cary heard faint sirens from his perch above the city but was unaware that the sirens were headed to pick up his lover, Deborah, after she'd been hit by a truck. Tad realized that something similar could have happened to Dixie. Tears still welled in her eyes, the manager, who had originally been very cold to Tad, begged him to use the hotel's phone to make sure that Dixie was not in a hospital.
At Cortlandt Manor, Palmer was pleased as punch when he learned that Braden had gotten up early and worked out a deal with one of Cortlandt Electronic' biggest suppliers. Somehow, Braden had managed to get the supplier to agree to "eat" their shipping costs. In return, Cortlandt Electronics had to agree to purchase more product---but the electronics company was expected to save well over two million dollars. Palmer broke out the cigars to celebrate Braden's coup---but the celebration was short-lived. Braden made a passing remark regarding a comment Dixie had made to him. While chatting with Braden, Dixie had jokingly said that working with Palmer would shave several years off of Braden's life. Palmer was intrigued by Dixie and Braden's discussion. Unaware that the news would set off fireworks, Braden casually mentioned that Dixie knew that Palmer had not delivered her note to Tad. Palmer demanded to know why Braden hadn't told him that Tad and Dixie had been communicating. Braden's eyebrows raised and he looked at his employer in confusion. He was unaware that he was supposed to be spying on Dixie. Palmer demanded a blow-by-blow account of not only everything that had gone on between Tad and Dixie, but also of the conversation Braden had had with Dixie. Braden informed Palmer that Dixie was contemplating getting back together with Tad. The rest of their conversation, he said sternly, was private. Opal entered the room just as Palmer tore into Braden for his snippy response. She demanded to know what was going on. Palmer told his wife that he and Braden were discussing business and that she should "butt out." Braden filled Opal in on the news that Dixie and Tad might get back together. Opal's reaction was as opposite from Palmer's as it could get. When Braden refused to break his vow of confidence for Palmer, Palmer immediately fired Braden. The mogul told Braden that he lacked a sense of loyalty. Opal went to bat for Braden, but Palmer refused to listen to either Opal or Braden. Palmer ordered Braden to leave his property within three minutes---or he'd have to face the guard dogs. Braden cast an icy glare at Palmer, but said nothing as he cleared out of the house.
At Myrtle's, Allie sat on the sofa looking at some baby clothing she'd purchased. She seemed genuinely interested in the items, but when Jake returned home she turned her interest up a notch. Allie prevented Jake from heading upstairs to bed. She held up a little baby outfit and asked Jake for his opinion. Jake, tired from his rounds and his late-night trip to New York, told Allie that he thinks she might be a little premature with her clothing purchases. Allie nodded her head and commented that she should probably pick out her wedding dress before anything. Jake lowered his head and said nothing for several moments. He finally raised his head and told Allie that there was "not going to be a wedding." He clarified that a wedding could be possible down the road, but that in the immediate future neither one of them would be taking a walk down the aisle. Allie was concerned that her child would be born illegitimate. In Jake's mind there were more important things than worrying about technicalities. He said that he wanted to make sure that they had a future together before they started talking about a wedding. Jake could barely keep his eyes open and announced that he was turning in. After Jake went upstairs, Allie threw a tantrum. She began pounding on the boxes of clothing she'd picked up. Her tirade complete, Allie stormed out of the house.
At WRCW, Liza looked at the statuette Adam had sent her and fondly recalled Adam's request to be friends. David suddenly appeared in the doorway and asked Liza if he was getting a dressing room. Somehow, word leaked to David that his first medical segment was a huge success. In fact, he'd actually gotten a stack of fan mail already. Liza read off a few pieces of Emailed fan letters, but one in particular caught David's attention. One "fan" claimed that she was not impressed by David's performance because she'd already seen some of his work on tape. It took David little more than a few seconds to realized that Allie had sent that letter. Liza was concerned, but David told her that Allie was just a "bit off." Convinced that David was not concerned by the letter, Liza continued reading additional letters aloud. David, however, drifted off and recalled the conversation he'd had with Allie in which she threatened to bring him down if he mentioned that she was not really pregnant. David suddenly "remembered" an appointment and dashed out the door.
David showed up at Myrtle's pretending to be there to check her heart condition. When no one answered the door, David let himself inside. He called out to Myrtle and when he heard no answer, he knew that he must be alone in the house. David rummaged around hoping to find the copy of his videotaped confession that Allie claimed to have hidden somewhere. Something led David to the front closet, where he found Allie's medical bag. He dug around inside the bag and, sure enough, found the videotape. Before he could flee the scene, Jake arrived and demanded to know what David was doing. David remained calm. He slowly turned around and asked Jake if he was still a man of his word. Confused, Jake muttered that he was---but demanded to know what that had to do with anything. He warned David that he could either explain his presence to him or to the police. David asked Jake if he remembered Allie's claim that she no longer had any copies of his confession (to trying to kill Adam). Jake nodded. David held up the videotape and said that the tape represented "lie one" for Allie. Without hesitating, David said that lie number two was Allie's claim that she was pregnant. Jake scrunched up his face and asked David how he knew that Allie was not pregnant. As they watched the videotape to make sure that it was, in fact, a tape of his confession, David informed Jake that he'd seen Allie switching blood specimens in the hospital lab. After the tape finished, David dropped it on the ground and smashed it with his feet. Jake still didn't believe David until David made a comment about thinking that Dr. Clader should have picked up on the fact that Allie wasn't pregnant. Jake remembered that Dr. Clader had called Allie's pregnancy an oddity because he could find no physical evidence of pregnancy---only her blood tests showed she was pregnant.
Allie stormed into Liza's office and told her that they needed to talk. She slammed the door and looked over a copy of Liza's baby books. Liza sighed deeply and told Allie that she didn't have time to talk. Allie quipped that it would be nice for the two of them to exchange stories about their morning sickness. Liza looked directly at Allie and told her that she should see a doctor if she doesn't feel well. Illness, Allie said, is running rampant in Pine Valley. Jake had been poisoned, Allie said. Liza was very concerned for her friend and asked Allie what happened. "Jake was poisoned by you," Allie snarled. That was all that Liza needed to hear. She headed to the door and opened it. She warned Allie that if she did not leave immediately, she would call security. Allie sang her familiar tune about Liza wanting to steal Jake away from her. Liza advised Allie to seek some psychiatric counseling. "And you need to miscarry," Allie snapped. Adam burst into the room and grabbed Allie by the back of her neck. He warned her that he would strangle her if she said another word. Liza was called away to tend to work-related issues. Adam said that Allie should never, ever mention miscarriage in front of Liza---especially not while she's pregnant. Allie claimed that she was angry and just blurted it out. Perhaps, she hinted, her hormones were unbalanced due to the fact that she was pregnant too. Adam looked closely at Allie and called her a liar. He could sense that she was not pregnant. Allie made a careless slip by saying that the only that matters to her is that Jake believes that she's pregnant. By the time she realized that her slip-of-the-tongue proved that she was not really pregnant, it was too late. Adam warned Allie that he would axe the progress he'd made in reinstating her medical license. Allie, one propelled by her desire to be a doctor, now claimed that regaining her medical license came second to getting Liza out of her life. Allie warned Adam that she would spill the beans about "the great sperm switcheroo" if Liza got in her way again. Liza returned to her office and, much to her chagrin, found Allie and Adam still fighting it out. Allie received a page from Jake and called home to see what he wanted. Jake told Allie that he wanted to "talk about [their] future." Allie's eyes beamed as she assumed that Jake wanted to talk marriage. Allie headed off to Myrtle's, but not before rubbing her supposedly pending nuptials in Liza's face. Liza told Adam that she could not allow Jake to marry Allie. Adam ordered Liza not to get herself involved, but Liza appreciate being told what to do. Adam reluctantly stepped out of Liza's way and allowed her to chase after Allie. A few minutes later, Tad showed up and begged Adam to help him find Dixie.
In Braden's former apartment, Dixie still showed no signs of movement. She spent the entire night on the floor---and didn't so much as budge an inch. When she finally did come to, she remained very weak. She could barely summon enough strength to sit up. She had a vision of making her way to the Statler Building and finding Tad on the rooftop waiting for her. Dixie wanted desperately for her vision to come true. She struggled to her knees and crawled across the room. She hoped that she could grab on to a chair and pull herself up to her feet. Dixie's arms shook back and forth like saplings in a strong wind and she knew she could not support herself much longer. She reached for a book that sat atop the table and, using all of her remaining strength, threw the book at the front door. The loud thud caught the attention of a passing maintenance man. The man knocked on the door and asked if anyone was inside, but Dixie was unable to call out to him. The man used his key to unlock the front door, but before he could step inside someone started buzzing at the front door and he had to run off. Inside in a voice barely above a whisper, Dixie begged the man not to leave... but he couldn't hear her. Exhausted, Dixie once again collapsed.
Allie returned to Myrtle's with visions of wedding gowns dancing in her head. She greeted Jake with a hug, a hug that he did not return. Allie grinned from ear to ear as she asked Jake what he wanted to talk about. David stepped out from behind the corner and flashed Allie a frown. Allie looked nervously at her former lover and asked Jake why David was there. Jake offered no response. Instead, he told Allie that he wanted to talk about whether or not she was really pregnant."
