He tells Erica he owes her his admiration, respect and loyalty. Erica asks which he was showing when he was recorded bashing Erica – admiration, respect or loyalty? Josh says his father set him up. His obsession toward Erica has reached new lows. Josh says he made all those things on the tape up to get his father to back off.&# 9;

Tad tells Di he appreciates her and thinks she’s wonderful. Di asks what if Dixie would come back and found her here with him. Tad says that’s ridiculous. Things would be very different if Dixie were here, but she’s dead and gone. Dixie watches them from a few feet away and is startled to see them kiss.

Amanda rushes into the ball and finds Jamie. She tells him everybody has to get out of there. Janet is following behind. Suddenly there is a huge explosion. Chandeliers fall from the ceiling. Chucks of wall and ceiling fall down onto the guests. People are thrown across the room and are falling everywhere. Within a minute, everything is quiet. Bodies are strewn throughout the dark, dingy room. Everyone is still, either unconscious or dead. The first movement is seen from Tad, who gets up slowly and has a bloody hand and blood streaming down a huge cut on his face. He looks around in unbelief. “Is anyone alive?” he asks.
