David is at his desk, and thinks of Dixie, then checks his answering machine for his messages. Dixie has left a message telling him that Tad and Junior come home from Junior’s camp and she wants to be home to welcome home her husband and son. She’ll be in later. Once the message stops, David has a flashback and thinks about kissing Dixie. He then decides to pick up the phone and call the hospital gift shop for to order two dozen peace rose flowers. The lady at the gift shop asks who they are for, for the card, and David tells her they are for Mrs. Dixie Martin. Later, The woman from the gift shop arrives with the flowers, which David had forgotten that he ordered them for Dixie; he changes his mind and tells the woman from the gift shop to take them to the nurses station. The Woman is surprised, to say the least and offers to get another card, and David demands the flowers to be sent to the nurse’s station. As the woman finally leaves, Edmund comes in and attacks David, and tells is almost choking him and saying that he’s a liar! Dixie walks in on Edmund choking David, and tells him to stop and she breaks up the fight. Edmund is blaming David for lying to him, and Dixie tells Edmund that if anyone is to blame it’s her because she knew that Dimitri was going to be at the hunting lodge, and told Alex to go there. She thought that since he was leaving town for good that Alex had the right to know. Edmund doesn’t think so; he still blames David, as he has a history of having women do what he wants when he wants. Edmund leaves frustrated. After Edmund leaves, Dixie is told by David that he understands if she wants to quit her job. He wants to tell the business office to set up her severance pay because of what happened between them. Dixie tells him that she will stay on at her job BUT that kiss will NEVER happen again or she leaves. David tells her she respects her and her marriage and it won’t happen again.

Tad And Dixie’s Home

Dixie is looking at the paper and is reading the article about the tower, when Tad yells “Honey we’re home!” from outside, and Junior comes running in to his mother’s waiting arms. Dixie takes a good look at her son and tells him he must have grown 3 inches. Junior is happy, and Dixie tells him before he does anything he wants to see him unpack and put his dirty clothes in the laundry while she welcomes her husband home. She tells Tad that she missed him; Tad asks about Jake, and has there been any word? Dixie tells him that there hasn’t but Adrian is still out there looking and then Tad reads the paper and says, “No, No, No! God no!” After reading the headline, “Construction setback continues to plaque pine valley’s newest office complex”, Tad tells Dixie that he feels like he is in someway to blame for Stuart’s death. He thinks that he helped Torpedo his marriage. Dixie doesn’t think he is to blame. Junior comes out wanting to go to the park, and Tad tells him that he has to go to work, he’ll meet him there in an hour to see his new soccer moves. Junior asks Dixie about going, and Dixie tells her that she must go to work now, she says she’s already running late. Dixie sees the unhappy look on Junior and she offers to quit her job at the hospital if her son would like her home more often. Junior tells her that if she likes her job so much to stay on, he’ll have practice, and school, and he’s told that they pile you down with homework so he’ll be busy. Dixie makes sure that he’s sure, and he says he is. Junior goes to the park, and Tad is stunned, can’t believe what’s happened that she just offered to quit her job. He tells her that he doesn’t want David taking advantage of her, and she asks what he meant by that and Tad tells her the whole Dimitri situation. Then Tad tries to make the moves on his wife, and she tells her that he has to leave, and tells him that she has to go – and Tad kisses his wife goodbye before leaving for work, which Dixie does also.
