Sheila stands at the edge of the roof, crying; the wind whipping herhair about her face.
"I cannot take Mary away from you, James, and I cannot live withouther. I'm doing this for you, James. Take care of my baby." Sheilaturns and jumps over the side of the building. James rushes to theroof's edge as Sheila lands on the ground below. A woman screams; a manyells for her to call 911.
"Oh, my God," James cries in horror. "Oh, my God!"
Ridge and Thorne greet Stephanie. Why did you call us here? they ask.
"I have made a decision," Ma Forrester says. "And it isn't up fordebate. I am just informing you of my decision to go to Greenland andhelp search for your father. Mr. Friberg has agreed to take me alongwith the rescue party. Once we land in Greenland, we will go to thecrash site by helicopter."
"How long will you be gone?"
"Until I find your father," Stephanie answers.
Lauren is reading Rush's work. "This is good!" she tells him. It isromantic, from the heart, sweet and sincere. She then reads one of thepoems and tells him that this is not sappy; most women would giveanything to hear words like these from her man. She looks up at him andtells him that she will never hear them from Eric.
"Eric is a fool," Rush tells her.
"Maybe I am the fool," Lauren responds.
"If you are a fool, then I am a madman," Rush says. "I see you as aworthwhile woman. You are beautiful and full of grace. If he can't seethat, then he is a fool. It is unfathomable to me that you could beturned down by anyone. Don't ever forget that you are special."
Lauren tells him that when she hears his voice, she can feel neithercold nor empty.
"Is she alive?" James asks the Med. Tech.
"Just barely," he answers, as they rush the stretcher into theambulance.
"Don't let her die," pleads James. "Do whatever you need to do, butdon't let her die."
The Med. Tech. calls in on the radio to the hospital and he says that hervitals are weak; they may be looking at a code.
"You've got to live; you hear me? You have got to live!" James tells hisnew wife.
The couple break their embrace as Rush tells Lauren that he wants toprotect her. She tells him that she feels safe with him but he cannotprotect her.
"I can do it better than he can," Rush says of Eric. "He is a shallow,selfish man. All he can think of is being rescued. He is self-centeredand blind. Your love is too pure and perfect to waste on someone whodoesn't deserve it or cherish you. Whether you go or stay, I willalways cherish you." They kiss.
Just then, Eric returns carrying a crossbow.
When Thorne objects to Stephanie going to Greenland, Stephanie tells himthat he has nothing to say about it. Ridge offers to go with her;Thorne then says that they will both go. Ridge objects to him going andthey begin to argue, but Stephanie interrupts and tells Thorne that shewould like him to stay and handle the business. Ridge can go with her.
As they rush Sheila into the emergency room, the attendant reports thatshe has massive internal injuries. When the doctor asks about a headinjury, the attendant reports that her pupils are equal and reactive,which is a good sign. They go into the trauma room. As James tries toenter the room, the doctor stops him, but James says that he is adoctor and he has to be with her.
The nurse reports that he BP is 90/60 with a pulse of 92, weak andthready. Sheila begins to groan. James calls out to her. Shecontinues to groan intermittently and finally opens her eyes.
"James . . ." she says.
"Don't talk, Sheila. Save your strength," James tells her.
"Let me die!" Sheila begs.
The blood pressure begins to drop. "We are losing her!" shouts theattending physician. "Talk to her, for God's sake. We are losing her!"
"Fight, Sheila," James tells her. "You've got to fight. Don't giveup. Please, Darling, speak to me."
Rush wants to know what Eric has been doing outside. You should notplay around with that, he tells Eric, referring to the crossbow. Ericinforms him, hauntily, that he has taken archery. As he holds thecrossbow in a somewhat threatening way, he demands that Rush try thecall again.
When Rush tells him that he can't make the call just now, Eric tells himthat he doesn't trust him. He is wondering just how much he wants tosave them. What is his excuse going to be this time?
Rush waves a paper in front of Eric's face. This is the reason I can'tmake the call. When Eric wants to know what it is, Rush tells him it isthe schedule of when the satellite will be overhead.
"You are pushing me beyond my limit, Big Shot!" Rush tells Eric. Youreally do not want me to lose control!
The doctor informs James that Sheila isn't doing good. They still don'tknow the full extent of her injuries; she may have paralysis and aneurologist is coming in to see her. There is only one person who cansave Sheila and that is Sheila. Right now she doesn't want to live.
"She will live," James says with emphasis.
You have to get along with this guy, Lauren tells Eric when they are intheir section of the room.
"It's the beard," Eric mumbles. "If I could see him without the beard,I would know who he is. I know I've seen him before. He is a dangerousman."
Lauren reminds him that he is only a mountain climber, but Eric is surehe is not. He is a fake. He is a threat to them. He won't help themto get out. He then tells Lauren she can help him prove it. All shehas to do is get him to shave off the beard. If he could see himwithout the beard, he know who he was.
On the other side of the screen, Rush is helping himself to a drink. Hewatches the silhouette behind the screen. He is going to be trouble forme, he says. I know he is trouble unless I can do something. But thenthere is her. She has been dropped from heaven; like manna from thesky. "Like you, sweetheart," he says, looking upward. "This time itwill be different. But first things first. Right now I have to takecare of Mr. Big Shot."
James sits at Sheila's bedside, holding her hand. Why are you here, sheasks. Because you are here, he answers.
"Just go . . . it's for the best," Sheila tells him.
"You are wrong!" he answers. "This is where I belong. I am sorry Ilied to you."
"You are the best thing for the baby," Sheila tells him. "Mary is yourdaughter. You cannot live without her, can you? I know, because Ican't either. Things are happening as they should. I gave my daughteraway; I cannot go on without her. We both want her and she cannot bewith both of us. You are the best thing for her. You are a goodfather. . . .Don't let me live, James. I do not want to take her fromyou. I want to do this for you, please, for you and Mary. Take care ofher; love her."
Sheila begins to choke. The doctor rushes up and orders suctioning.Start a morphine drip. Hold her still, nurse," he shouts as Sheilabegins to seize.
Rush continues to drink and watch the curtain. He wonders what they aretalking about. He has to stop them. He rises and picks up thecrossbow. He begins to caress it. Suddenly, the arrow shoots acrossthe room and through the curtain. There is a scream.
