Stewart thinks that Arlene doesn’t want to come back because she is afraid of being caught with the necklace. Liza asks Stewart to take Junior home. They are trying to get Stewart out of the room so that they can talk. He tells them that they are all acting a little weird. He goes for Junior and they leave the house. Adam tells Marion to leave as well. Stewart leaves messages for Hayley to give to Arlene when she comes back. Hayley tells him that she will do that. The three leave the house. Mateo goes straight for Adam. He is sure that Adam did something to make Arlene appear to be alive. Mateo can’t put his mind around it. Hayley can’t take the arguing and shouts for the men to stop talking while she holds her head with her hands. Liza is not sure now that Arlene is dead. Adam is sure that she is dead. He tells her that she is just feeling guilty. She is feeling bad because she is going to get married and she is feeling guilty. Adam thinks about Arlene all the time, but there is nothing that can be done about it now. There is no way that Arlene can get between them anymore. She agrees with him that Stewart may have misunderstood something. The maid walks is frantic. Something has happened in the kitchen. Some helpers bring in the wedding cake behind her. It has been smashed, just like at Haley's wedding. Liza says, "…Arlene…" They try to figure out who came in to the room. The maid is sure that someone came in from outside to damage the cakes. Adam thinks that someone is lying about the cake. Hayley is sure that Arlene is the one that smashed the cake. Adam has the staff remove the cake from the room.

Liza tells her that their wedding cake has been smashed. She immediately understands the significance of that. She wonders if Adam was the one that did it. Adam is offended for a minute. They think that maybe there is someone pretending to be Arlene. Marion thinks that there is someone else that they can suspect. She thinks that it is Vanessa Courtland. They all seem to understand how that could have happened. Marion tells her that the only friend that Vanessa had was Arlene. Marion tells her of the last conversation that she had with Vanessa. Apparently, Marion let out some information about Arlene, and they don’t know exactly wants to do harm to them.

Tad arrives at Leslie’s hotel room. Before she opens the door, she takes off the wedding ring and then she opens the door. Tad demands to know where Dixie is. He grabs her frantically as if he is going to shake her and he demands to know what she has done. She tells Tad that she has someone in her room that she has to take care of. She refuses to let him into her room. He will not take no for an answer and he demands that she let him into the room. He thinks that Dixie is in her room and she is trying to hide her. She tells him that she is leaving soon and has lots of things going for her. She tells him that if he wants to find his wife, he needs to go somewhere else, because Dixie isn’t there. Tad leaves.

David has Dixie in David’s room in the hotel up the hall from Leslie. She doesn’t know what she is going to do. He thinks that he is the only person that can help her. She is distraught. She tells him that Tad says that Leslie has a fixation on him. It is one-sided. She didn’t believe him, but now her fears are coming to the surface. She knows that he cheated before and maybe he will do it again. David suggested that maybe he hasn’t cheated. She thinks that she knows what her problem is. She thinks that her problem has to do with the real threat to her marriage, and that is her feelings for David. She tells him of her evidence of an affair between them. The phone calls, the lipstick on his collar. She recalls being with David at the Ball and kissing him. She is feeling guilty. She is causing trouble where there isn’t any. Leslie is leaving town and there is nothing going on. Dixie needs to take a step back and take a breath before she does anything. She knows that Tad is not perfect, she isn’t either. David thinks that there is nothing standing between her and her marriage. Dixie thinks that she should go now. He stops her long enough to tell her goodbye. She leaves the room.

Tad has returned to Leslie’s room. He can’t find Dixie anywhere. As he is talking to Leslie, Dixie walks up the hallway and hides when she hears them talking. She hears Leslie saying, "If Dixie finds out about us, it won’t be from me."
