To stars off the summer, Tad and Zach will have “defining moments” in ther lives, respectively. Zach will finally uncover who ran him over and threw him and Greenlee onto a bomb shelter. He’ll ran into Richie, literally, at the hospital I think and Zach will have an epiphany. With JR already on his tracks, Richie’s days in Pine Valley is winding down.

Meanwhile, Tad will meet Dixie at an after life setting. It’s going to be a dream and a sad reunion. Tad won’t want to part ways with the love of his life but Dixie convinces him to go back to take care of Jenny and Kate. I’m so glad Cady and Michael are having this wonderful scene together. Dixie’s death was just too abrupt that whoever wrote it should get tomatoes thrown at him/her wherever he/she goes. Ok, that’s a little violent but well, he/she deserves it for firing Cady and killing Dixie with freaking pancakes in the first place. *Pfffft*.

Kathy has been revealed as the long lost daughter of Tad and Dixie. Thanks to Adam’s last drip of conscience, he finally told everyone the truth. You can imagine everyone wants to barbecue Adam Chandler and baste him with his own gray hair, but not Krystal. The idiot is feeling sorry for him. Something good must have kicked in him to finally tell the truth. Yeah, how stupid can a woman be? Her husband almost died, and all she could think about is how Adam might be feeling right now while everyone wants to thrown him in a fire pit. Krystal needs to stop wasting Tad’s time and just divorce him if she really wants to be standing behind Adam.

Anyhooo, Kate is still oblivious to what’s going on. She keeps asking for Aunt Julia but no one seems to have the heart to tell the girl that Aunt Julia is dead. It’s hard, I know. She lost 2 mothers within 2 (?) years. But she needs to know soon.

Maria Santos is supposed to be on her way to Pine Valley to take Kate. Will we see her fight Tad for custody or will this go under the rag? I’m guessing the latter. I haven’t heard anything about Eva La Rue or any of the Santos family coming to PV for Julia’s body and Kate. It would be stupid for the writers to let us assume things just went A-Okay when it comes to where Kate is going to end up. I’m really curious as to how this is going to play out.

Scare the Bejeezus Out Of Adam Operation convenes. Dixie shows up in Adam’s consciousness and visions. Only he is the one who can see Dixie. He’s spooked alright. Dixie sings JR’s favorite song that she loved singing to him when he was little. All Dixie want is for Adam to do the right thing. Reunite Kathy with Tad. Is that so much to ask? Adam keeps eating the adoption papers but Dixie keeps coming up with more copies.

Dixie could just leave the papers on Tad’s desk to ease the latter’s pain but that’s too easy. Ultimately, Dixie wants to save Adam’s evil soul. Do the right thing, then maybe he won’t go to hell when his heart attacks finally finishes him..LOL.

Hey, take as long as you Adam. The longer you hesitate to to give Tad his happiness, the longer Dixie will be staying in Pine Valley. Even if it’s just her ghost :). Works for us right? Tad has waited this long, he can wait for another month, hehehe.
