Donna came to terms with Tara and planned to start a family of her own.  Estelle remembered that Ty had Donna’s tubes tied while Donna was still a prostitute, but Donna was told it was an appendectomy.  Erica taunted Nick about Tom, but Nick played the same game with Claudette Montgomery, who returned to town.  David learned his Mexican divorce isn’t legal, and he’s still married to Edna.  He refused to believe that Dottie is his daughter even though she has epilepsy, which Edna insists was inherited from David’s father.  Phoebe threatened to expose Charles and Mona’s affair to the hospital board and have him fired unless he dropped the divorce action. Benny admitted his part in Phoebe’s schemes.  Phoebe blew her cool after being arrested for drunk and “unlicensed” driving.  She told reporters that Charles’ affair with Mona was responsible.  Nick dated Ellen and Claudette, while Erica did a slow burn.  David accepted Dottie as his child, and Christina saved her during an epilepsy attack.  Edna refused to give David and Christina custody.  Phoebe fired Benny, who is attracted to Claudette, after he refused to perjure himself in court.  Jeff warned David to keep Christina out of his affairs with Edna.  Charles gave in to Phoebe and dropped the divorce action.  Benny squirmed his way back into Phoebe’s employ, then celebrated with Brooke.  Urged by Chris, David agreed for Dottie’s sake to maintain a marriage in name only with Edna.  Claudette made a pass at Paul, then turned her attentions to Linc.  Devon realized Brooke doesn’t care for Danny the way he cares for her.  Billy Clyde told Estelle he can blackmail Donna to keep it a secret from Chuck that her tubes were tied.  Ruth was encouraged that she and Joe could legally adopt Tad once they find his father, Ray Gardner.  Joe went to Texarkanna in pursuit of Ray.  Claudette and Erica sharpened their claws.  Claudette won the first round by being hired as Nick’s new hostess.  Donna refused to believe she wasn’t pregnant.  Mark and Ellen were encouraged that Devon’s interest in Danny would take the pressure off their own relationship.
