"Tad and Dixie were about to enter the dining area at The Valley Inn when they spotted David and Erica. Dixie was supposed to have reported to work at the hospital, but Tad encouraged his wife to take the day off since David was obviously playing hooky. Dixie was reluctant, but ceded to Tad's request that they spend the day together in the honeymoon suite. As Tad went to check on availability of the room, Dixie, her face red with embarrassment, waited patiently. Erica thanked David for helping her convince Bianca to go to school. David nodded his head and told Erica that he wanted to stick around and have breakfast with her. "I can stay as long as you want," he beamed. Erica looked caught off guard as she told David that she couldn't stay due to a prior engagement with Opal. As Erica started to move, David took Erica's hand and asked her not to leave until he had a chance to tell her something. Erica obliged, listening as David apologized for the way that they had argued just prior to Travis' death. Erica sighed slightly, recalling that she and David had sparred over Dimitri. The argument made Erica regret never having had a chance to work things out with her late husband. David looked over and Erica and smiled. He told her that he still felt "something" between them. Erica continued to listen as David spoke of hope for reconciliation. After he finished, Erica told him that she didn't see any chance that they'd get back together. "We were smart enough to end our relationship. Let's keep it that way," she replied coldly. David argued that they still had a chance and reminded Erica of the love they'd made in his office. Erica rose from the table and bid David farewell. As Erica swished away, David threw his napkin on the table in disgust. David turned to watch Erica, but instead he saw Dixie loitering in the lobby. He approached his office assistant and asked her why she wasn't at work. Before Dixie could respond, David reminded Dixie about a grant application that was due at the end of the week. Dixie tried to protest, saying that the application didn't have to be done for another week. David, however, countered that he'd be busy the following week and needed it done immediately. Tad approached and snapped that Dixie was going to be spending the day with him. David and Tad bickered back and forth. Finally, Tad told David that it was unfair for him to grumble at Dixie just because his "fondle" session with Erica hadn't gone as planned. David bit his lip and told Dixie to spend the day with Tad. As he left, though, he muttered that he didn't think Dixie's romp with Tad fell under the category of having to take care of her family. Dixie chased after David and reminded him that she's never missed a deadline before. She pledged to have the completed forms on David's desk by Monday morning.
In their office at Tempo, Edmund's blooded knuckles worried Brooke. She urged him to have his hand examined, but Edmund insisted that he was okay. When Brooke learned that Edmund had injured his hand on a punching bag, Brooke muttered that she'd love to have a chance to take out her anger on an inanimate object. Brooke told Edmund that she had "made a fool" of herself at the community center. She continued on, saying that she was furious that Eliot was going to tuck his tail between his legs and flee Pine Valley. Brooke fumed that Eliot would have the chance to start anew somewhere and not suffer any sort of repercussions for what he'd done to Laura. Edmund reminded Brooke that Eliot had served his time in jail and urged her to let him leave. Brooke fielded a call from a reporter, but said that she had no comment on Eliot or his situation. During the course of the call, Brooke learned that Eliot was preparing for his final sermon. She looked at Edmund, her face dripping with fury. She told Edmund that her "pain is never, ever going to go away" and snarled that she could "make sure that [Eliot's] never does, either." Edmund told Brooke that he wanted to be in on whatever it was she had planned.
At the church, Ricky confronted Eliot about the rumors he'd heard. When Eliot confirmed that everything he'd heard was true, Ricky wasn't sure how to react. He blasted the minister for having had his father hauled into court. "At least he never killed anybody," Ricky snapped. Eliot nodded and explained that he'd never claimed to be better than anyone; he'd had Hank taken to court because he was hurting Ricky. Ricky became silent, sort of nodding his head. Church began, with Becca and Ricky among those in attendance. At the conclusion of the service, Eliot addressed the congregation and informed them that he would be leaving Pine Valley. As he spoke, Brooke and Edmund arrived --- with Brooke take a seat in the front pew. Eliot's voice cracked and he tried to hold back tears as he revealed that he had taken the life of a young girl. Throughout his confession, he didn't reveal that identity of the child he'd killed. He explained that during his time in jail time, he had found his calling to the Lord. Then, as he looked in Brooke's eyes, he recalled the emotional encounter he'd had when he'd told Brooke the truth. Suddenly, he realized that Brooke was right; running away would not solve anything. He looked at Brooke and told her, "I am leaving you with an open wound that I caused. If I run away now, I'm a coward." Brooke did not appear relieved and told Edmund that she needed to go home and make sure that Jamie was okay. Ricky later walked up to Eliot and told him that he was glad that he wasn't going to leave town.
As they puttered through the mall, Bianca gushed enthusiastically to Rain about the rush she was getting from skipping school. Rain shocked Bianca by announcing that they were going to "panhandle" to get money for a movie and a bite to eat. Bianca nervously stated that she wasn't quite ready to ask people for money. Rain agreed and told her new friend to watch and learn. Rain gave Bianca her denim jacket and mussed up her hair. Rain then took to the crowds to ask women passing by for a dollar so that she could phone home to her mother. One by one, the woman parted with their money --- and Rain loved every minute of it. Rain told Bianca that it was her turn to test out her stuff. Bianca bashfully told Rain that she wasn't sure that "Erica Kane's daughter" could get away with asking for money. A woman happened to be passing by and chattered on and on about what a fan she was of Erica. Bianca rolled her eyes and told the woman that she wasn't really Erica's daughter --- and that Rain thought it was funny to say that she looked like Erica's daughter. The woman apologized and agreed that Bianca really didn't look anything like Erica's daughter. Across the food court, Erica and Opal raced towards each other, both apologizing to the other for running late. They sat down and discussed what was going on in their lives --- Opal's booming business at The Glamorama and Erica's troubles with Bianca. Opal assured Erica that now that she was "a full-time mom" things wouldn't always be smooth between her and Bianca. Erica chattered on about wanting to buy Bianca a new fall wardrobe, but Erica quickly realized that buying clothing for Bianca might be seen as another attempt to dictate her daughter's lifestyle. Erica sighed and told Opal that she feels as if Bianca is holding something back from her. She told Opal about the theory that Bianca had developed a relationship with a boy at rehab. Opal pursed her lips together and said that she's sorry that Bianca had her heart broke, but she also assured her that heartbreaks were natural for a 16-year old. Erica shook her head and sighed that things are different now then when they were Bianca's age. Across the way, Bianca was ready to move into action for her first attempt at asking for money. Suddenly, she froze in her tracks; she'd spotted her mother across the mall.
In the elevator, Greenlee began to panic. As the elevator sank little by little, Greenlee feared that she and Leo were going to die. Things got even worse when Greenlee learned that the emergency phone was dead. Leo pushed a ceiling panel to the side so that he could check the elevator shaft for an exit route. Leo lifted himself so that his head could peek out into the shaft, but he immediately lowered himself back into the car, a look of horror on his face. Leo told Greenlee that the car was literally hanging on by a few threads; the cable had been shredded. Greenlee started yelling for help. Greenlee fretted that she'd never have a chance to own a dog, something her parents had never allowed her to do. Leo quickly wrapped his arms around her and advised her to remain as still and as quiet as possible. To calm her down, Leo planted a kiss on Greenlee. Leo then climbed back outside the car to once again figure a way to get to safety. "There's a ladder fastened to the wall up there," Leo told Greenlee. He told her that she'd have to climb the cable to get to the ladder. Greenlee fussed about being the first to climb to safety. Leo ordered her to stop wasting time and start climbing. With a boost from Leo, Greenlee climbed out of the car and made it safely to the ladder. Jubilant that she was going to be fine, Greenlee cast a gaze down to tell Leo to start following after her. Suddenly, the elevator shifted yet again. Greenlee called out to Leo as the car dropped."
