It is Opal and Erica is hopeful that Bianca is with her but she isn’t. Opal can’t tell her that Bianca was there all night, that would be a lie. Bianca slept in Frankie’s room the night before.

Why do they have to be together? Chris walks in and greets Opal as his phone rings. He has to go after he ends his call. He will check on her later. He runs out and Opal thinks that she has missed something. Erica doesn’t want her to start in on her. Erica denies that she is sleeping with Chris. He slept over, but he spent time on the couch.

Bianca realizes that she will never get along with her mother. She is going to be set off over and over again. Bianca feels like she owes Frankie. Frankie thinks that she is wrong to think that.

Frankie felt the connection too, but it was more complicated. Bianca told her mother that she couldn’t live at the house anymore. Does she do that alone or with Frankie? Opal kicked Frankie out so they need to find a place to crash. Bianca likes the way that sounds. Bianca goes to her friend and hugs her.

Tad is walking around the house as Dixie sleeps on the couch. He covers her with a blanket as she sleeps. Just then, Leslie arrives and hits Tad in the head with a bat.

Dixie gets up to go and wash her face. She leaves the room and Tad tells Jesse that he stinks. Tad is sure that Jesse sent the dream to Dixie. Tad makes a call to Pam asking if Leslie is still there. Pam confirms that Leslie is still there. Leslie is stable and taking her medication and seeing a therapist. Pam is not going to tell Leslie that he called. Tad gets off the phone and tells Jesse not to mess with Dixie’s dream again. Jesse might not have to make a dream the next time. The doorbell rings and Chris appears. Dixie comes out and tells that Sweeney’s autopsy report came back. He died of heart failure but there was a needle prick on his body but that was nothing that they could trace. Seems like Sweeney was a dead man before he burst in on Dixie and Tad in the hotel. Chris needs information on David Hayward. Chris thinks that he is involved in all this. Dixie disagrees. There is a line that David would never cross. She leaves the room.
