Kendall turns up in Erica Kane's outer office and begs her for a job. When she refuses and threatens to call security, Kendall faints. When smelling salts bring her around, Kendall feigns fear of being returned to her family. Eventually, Erica arranges for Kendall to stay at the Valley Inn's hospitality suite and Erica cautions her, saying: "It's only for one night.".
Episode delayed by an ABC news bulletin about Boris Yeltsin.
As the episode begins, an announcer informs the audience that "Erica has discovered that Kendall knows a great deal about her. Kendall wants to prove that she can handle Erica and Dimitri's engagement party."
Kendall walks in on Erica and Dimitri kissing, and describes plans for their engagement party.
Kendall briefly interrupts Erica and Dimitri's dinner to get approval for invitations to their engagement party. The next morning at breakfast she muses over a newspaper clipping headed "Erica Kane and her beautiful daughter Bianca." Erica sees her eating alone and asks her what's wrong. Kendall informs her that "everything's going according to plan."
Erica and Dimitri (Michael Nader) argue about where they will live after the wedding. Kendall listens in on the argument, and drops a tray of iced tea. Kendall meets Opal Cortlant (Jill Larson) and mistakes her for an intruder. Erica finds the clipping about herself and Bianca in Kendall's folder.
Erica confronts Kendall about the clipping, and gets a sob story in response about how Kendall wishes Erica was her mother. Erica swallows it whole. Later, overhearing that Erica's mother Mona (Frances Heflin) is refusing to come to the engagement party, Kendall visits Mona and persuades her to come.
Erica catches Kendall trying on one of her gowns. She is upset at first, but when Erica's mother arrives, she intervenes on Kendall's behalf and in the process Erica finds out that Kendall persuaded Mona to come to the engagement party. Erica is upset about that, but ends up allowing Kendall to stay and lays down some ground rules for Kendall's continued employment. Then she looks for a suitable dress for Kendall to wear to the party. At the party, Erica cautions Kendall: "That is my mother. Don't you hug her.", but Kendall draws attention to a birthmark on the back of her neck which is revealed by her hairstyle, and Mona recognizes the birthmark.
Mona gets a closer look at that birthmark and becomes increasingly suspicious of Kendall. Dimitri dances with Kendall at the party.
The party continues. Kendall lurks alone in the background saying Erica's catch phrase aloud: "O yes, Erica, the best is yet to be.".
The party ends. Dimitri is impressed with Kendall's organizing skills and suggests to Erica that she be involved in the organization of the wedding. Erica says she needs to sleep on it. Kendall, alone, finds a half-empty glass of champagne and offers a toast "To you, Erica.".
Kendall visits Mona for breakfast. Mona is looking for more information about Kendall. Nick Davis visits Mona, concerned by the tone of her voice in their last conversation. Mona postpones her breakfast date with Kendall and talks to Nick instead. Then Kendall tells Erica that Nick showed up at Mona's. This makes Erica paranoid and she calls Mona and orders her to come over. When she does Erica demands to know what she's up to. Then she puts Nick in the hospitality suite, dispossessing Kendall. Kendall moves into Mrs. Fargate's boarding house, closes the door, and removes the head from a doll. Dimitri suggests to Erica that Bianca come and live with them. Nick tries to persuade Mona to tell him what's troubling her.
Kendall extracts a piece of paper from the mutilated doll and is interrupted by her new landlady who gives her a questionnaire to fill out about her tastes in food, her allergies, and other personal information. Later Kendall overhears Dimitri planning for Bianca's arrival.
Kendall suggests to Erica that Bianca (Lacey Chabert) should not be maid of honour. Kendall waxes poetic about the wedding, comparing Kanes upcoming muptials to the weddings of Prince Charles and Diana, and of Arthur and Guenivere. Erica responds: " Kendall, if you're going to compare Dimitri and me to royal marriages, then please compare us to royal marriages that work." Erica insists on Bianca as maid of honour, and when the wedding dress designer arrives, goes on a bit about how great Bianca is. After being forced to sit through this, Kendall is left alone briefly. She tears one of the sketches for Bianca's dress out of the designer's pad, and then takes a phone call from Bianca. She tells Bianca that her mother is very busy and can't speak to her, then hangs up. When Erica returns, Kendall offers to assist Bianca in any way possible. Later, Kendall returns to her room early and finds Nick Davis there.
Kendall manages to convince Nick to leave after plausibly answering his questions. She goes to see Erica who confronts her about Bianca's phone call. Kendall says she didn't know who it was on the phone, then accuses Erica of sending Nick Davis to search her room. Erica and Kendall confront Mona and Nick about that.
Erica asks Nick why he broke into Kendall's room. Someone named Charlie arrives and interrupts. Later, Kendall thanks Erica for defending her, and Erica denies doing that, trying to establish herself as the boss and not Kendall's friend. Kendall is asked to book the orchestra for the wedding. Once Erica leaves, Kendall indicates to the booking agent that "we're going with a different sound for this wedding."
Kendall breaks one of the house rules at her boarding house and Mrs. Myrtle Fargate (Eileen Hurley) catches her with a lit cigarette. Kendall snaps at the landlady and gets thrown out. Kendall starts to pack and Fargate encourages her to stay until morning. Kendall reveals to her that Erica Kane is really her mother.
Sarah Michelle Gellar gives one of her best performances as Kendall Hart as she explains to Myrtle Fargate how she came to know she was Erica Kane's daughter. Unfortunately, the episode was interrupted by an ABC news bulletin about the end of the WACO siege. We learn that Kendall's best friend when she was a child was named Iris, and that she had a 5th grade teacher named Mr. Henderson, and she wrote an essay for him about being the daughter of an "island queen". She had her sweet sixteen at the Bowl-O-Drome. (There are many Bowl-O-Dromes in the United States, but none in Florida.)
Myrtle Fargate decides to befriend Kendall. Haley, another tenant, eavesdrops on their conversation. Kendall meets Hayley Vaughan (Kelly Ripa) and Mary Ellen Mesa who also lives at the boarding house. We find out that Haley is an investigator who has been planted by Nick to find out about Kendall. Dimitri asks Kendall to pick out a riding outfit for Bianca and then invites Kendall to go riding with them, even though she's never ridden a horse. Dimitri says he's a good teacher. In response to the invitation, Kendall admits that she faked fainting when she first arrived and made up bad stories about her family so that Erica would feel sorry for her and give her a job. She stops short of telling Dimitri that she is Erica's daughter.
We find out Kendall has known she was adopted since June 11, 1983 when her dog died and she heard her parents whispering that they got the dog the same time they got her.
The episode opens with Kendall trying to figure out how to tell Erica that she's her daughter. Mrs. Fargate brings her tea, and encourages her to tell Erica the truth. Kendall tells Fargate not to call her adoptive parents because she doesn't want them involved. Fargate points out that they already know where Kendall lives because they send her mail (but don't know why she is there). Hayley goes to see Kendall's adoptive parents who deny that their daughter is adopted. Kendall goes to see Erica, who tells her she is not to take advantage of Mr. Merrick's generosity again. Kendall goes to the stables and meets Edmund Gray (John Callahan), Dimitri's brother, who was raised as the gardener's son. Later, Erica complains about the sparkling Spanish wine that Kendall ordered by mistake, and Kendall decides to go on the offensive, saying to Erica: "How dare you, after what you did to me."
Kendall fails again to tell Erica about being her daughter. Erica scolds her again and Kendall flees to the stables crying. There she is found first by Bianca, who tries to comfort her and gets snapped at, and then by Dimitri who tries to smooth things over. Kendall signs for Dimitri's divorce papers, and then hides them, telling Erica that the doorbell had been rung by Girl Scouts. Dimitri, Bianca, and Erica go on a picnic. Kendall burns the divorce papers.
Erica goes to Kendall's room to find Bianca. When she tells Mrs. Fargate "I'm here for my daughter", Myrtle at first believes that Kendall has told Erica the truth. Finding this is not the case, Myrtle defends Kendall, who has apparently made Bianca cry by telling her that she is a "spoiled rich little brat". After Erica leaves, Myrtle again tries to persuade Kendall to come clean with Erica. Kendall goes to see Erica and finds her in an argument with Dimitri, who is also defending Kendall. Erica walks out. Dimitri gets a phone call and find out about Kendall's sabotage of the flowers and wine for the wedding. Then Peggy Moody (Erica's maid, played by Anne Meara) tells him that she saw Kendall burning legal documents the previous day. Dimitri angrily confronts Kendall about all this, saying: "You are not leaving this room until you tell me the entire truth."
Kendall offers to "go away and never come back". She tells Dimitri that she sabotaged the wedding because she wanted to get back at Erica. She accuses Erica of dumping the people she doesn't want and warns Dimitri that he will be dumped as well. Then she runs out of the house rather than answer his questions. Kendall returns to her room and starts to pack. Mytrle asks her why and Kendall says: "Erica Kane didn't want me when I was born, and she sure as hell doesn't want me now.". Kendall daydreams about the responsive, caring Erica of her fantasies. Then she comes to her senses saying "Right, Kendall, when pigs fly." Then Erica walks into the room.
KENDALL TELLS ERICA THAT SHE IS HER DAUGHTER Erica, who can't understand why anyone would hate her, confronts Kendall in her room. Kendall is about to tell her that she is her daughter, when Lucy interrupts and informs Erica that Bianca has been thrown from her horse. Everyone rushes to the hospital. When Dimitri leaves to call Erica's ex, Kendall walks over to Erica in the waiting room and finally reveals who she is.
Erica says Kendall is crazy, and denies being her mother. Dimitri doesn't believe her either. But when Kendall mentions Phoenix, Erica reacts. We learn that Kendall was born at St. Vincent's Hospital in Phoenix. (There really is a St. Vincent de Paul Hospital in Phoenix.) But Erica will not recognize the truth until Kendall produces her adoption papers. (It was 1993. DNA testing was available.) The doctor enters to say that Bianca's MRI is normal. Erica looks like she has no idea what to do.
Kendall is in a room at the Pinecone Motel, not at the boarding house. She looks through a scrapbook of Erica Kane photos, tearing them up one by one.
Erica visits Kendall and, in an intense scene, is forced to explain why she gave Kendall up for adoption. She explains that at a very young age she was raped by a friend of her father, who was also a "respected, solid citizen", and did not even realize she was pregnant until she was in her fifth month and her mother walked in on her while she was taking a shower. We learn that Erica never told her father about the rape. At the end, Erica says: "Look, Kendall, I would like to try to be a mother to you, but I'm not going to force myself on you. It's up to you. If you ever want to see me again, you know where to find me." Erica leaves, and Kendall contemplates the torn up photos on the bed.
Edmund Gray (whom Kendall first met in the stables in episode #6037) visits. Edmund explains to Kendall that he understands her feelings, because he is the illegitimate son of Hugo Merick, and was rejected by his father and by his brother Dimitri. He tells Kendall that once, to get back at Dimitri, he abducted Erica, and in the process got to know that she wasn't the evil person that Kendall thinks she is. He encourages Kendall to give Erica a chance. Edmund leaves, and Kendall goes to Linden House to see her mother.
Edmund arrives at Kendall's motel room to drive her to Erica's dinner party. (The dinner party was the result of the discussion between Kendall and Erica that began at the end of episode #6052.) Kendall initially says she isn't going, and it is apparent that she is worried that she won't measure up to Erica's expectations. Edmund manages to reassure her and the two of them arrive at Linden House. Erica offers Kendall a soda, and Kendall explains that she has had wine before. That her mother (meaning her adoptive mother) allowed her to have wine on special occasions. Kendall reveals that she has never eaten a scallop, even after her adoptive family moved to Florida, and that Alice Hart regarded any food that was not canned or frozen as "exotic". Kendall feels awkward and decides to return to the motel. Erica says no one should live in a place like that and that Kendall should move in with her. Surprised, Kendall agrees. At that moment, Bianca (Gina Gallagher) appears on the stairs and loudly says "I don't want Kendall to live here." Kendall tries to be nice to Bianca, suggesting that they had gotten off on the wrong foot, and that her stay would be like a slumber party. Bianca is somewhat mollified, and Dimitri and Edmund go off with Kendall to get her things from the motel.
During a thunderstorm, Erica is in her bedroom, crying. Kendall knocks, and Erica wipes away tears and invites her in. Kendall says she "just wanted to say goodnight". Erica remarks that Kendall's bathrobe had seen better days, and finds out that it had been a gift from Alice Hart (Kendall's adoptive mother). Kendall suggest they might look for a better bathrobe for her together. Erica has a nightmare about the rape, and Kendall hears her wake up screaming, and goes to her room again. Erica explains that the storm brought on a bad dream, and Kendall offers to stay until it passes, but Erica's dream continues while she is awake and the tells Kendall that there was a storm on the night of the rape as well. Kendall says: "No wonder you weren't thrilled to see me. If the storm gives you nightmares, imagine what I must do to you." The next morning Kendall is packed and ready to leave, but Erica stops her saying she has had an inspiration. She wants both of her daughters to be beside her at her wedding.
Dimitri returns, and Erica tells him about Kendall's inclusion in the wedding. Bianca overhears, and makes another pronouncement from the staircase, saying: "No! I'm the maid of honour. No one else." Erica goes to Bianca's room to calm her down. Quote from Erica: "Bianca has such a flair for the melodramatic. I just don't understand where she gets it from, Dimitri, I really don't." Mona arrives and Erica doesn't want to see her until Dimitri explains that he told her to come. Dimitri suggests that Erica should grow up and sort things out witn Mona and tell Bianca the truth. Erica throws Mona and Dimitri out of the house.
Mona and Dimitri refuse to leave. Dimitri attempts to assert control over the situation and his argument with Erica moves upstairs. Mona remains in the living room and Kendall enters. Mona tries to make up with Kendall, apologizing for having had her room searched, and tells Kendall that Erica was abandoned by her father, and that it was she (Mona) who made the decision to put Kendall up for adoption, not Erica. Erica overhears her mother's explanation, and asks Mona's forgiveness. Bianca comes downstairs ready to go to a wedding (of Tad Martin and Brooke English). Everyone seems to have stopped being angry. Kendall goes upstairs to take a nap.
Dimitri, Erica, and Bianca return from the wedding. Kendall has prepared a meal for them. Bianca loudly informs Kendall that they have already eaten, and is openly hostile. Bianca wonders aloud why everyone must be nice to Kendall since Kendall had been mean to her. Kendall goes to the kitchen with some of the food after Erica suggests that she and Dimitri need to talk to Bianca. Kendall listens in on Erica's explanation from the top of the stairs. Bianca reacts badly to the news that Kendall is her half-sister. Dimitri points out that Bianca lives in Seattle with a half-sister, and a half-brother, but that approach fails as well. Bianca exits up the stairs telling Kendall: "I hate you. You'll never be my sister."
Kendall is counting out money to leave for a deposit at the florist. Erica tells her that she need not bother about the wedding details anymore. There are other things that need to be addressed. She asks Kendall if she has called her adoptive parents. Kendall lies and tells Erica she wrote them a letter. Erica informs Kendall that she has spoken to the Harts by phone. Kendall tells Erica she does not want contact between Erica and the Harts and Erica tells her that they will be arriving in less than an hour. Opal arrives and asks " Why is that loathsome girl still here? Why haven't you fired her and kicked her out on her snippy little behind?" The William and Alice Hart (Bill Raymond and Rochelle Oliver) arrive, but when Erica goes upstairs to get Kendall, she discovers that Kendall has gone.
Kendall's knapsack and the $200 deposit for the florist are gone as well. Dimitri goes out to search and finds Kendall in the bus station. He manages, with the aid of a cop, to reassure her sufficiently to get her to come back to the house and explain things to her adoptive parents. Erica has by this time told the Harts the entire story.
Yvette the designer is making final adjustments to Kendall's dress for Erica's wedding. In the process, she mentions that Kendall was described to her as an "attendant" not as a bridesmaid. Kendall is upset about this. Then Erica and Bianca enter with Bianca wearing the same dress as Kendall. Bianca objects to this. Erica sends Bianca and Yvette upstairs to complete Bianca's fitting, then shows Kendall the wedding announcement in the newspaper, which says, in part: "Miss Kane will be attended by her daughters Bianca Christine Montgomery and Kendall Hart." Kendall, appearing to be genuinely moved, thanks Erica for making it public that she is her daughter, and for explaining things to the Harts, who are staying for the wedding. Kendall goes upstairs to change, and Erica tells her that she does not need to concern herself with wedding details anymore, saying: "You're not my assistant anymore; you're my daughter." Later, Kendall has a name-calling bout with Bianca, ending with this quote from Kendall: "In the future I'd think twice before you start anything with me. Remember, I'm older; I'm wiser; and I'll win every time. So think about it Binky."
This episode has the first mention of Kendall's "rapid aging". She says to Hayley, after asking for champagne, "Hey, it's ok. I know I don't look it but I'm over 21.". Kendall was 16 (as was Gellar) in her initial appearance, and was aged to 23 because fans objected to such a precocious 16 year old character. Wikipedia has an article on this subject which offers other possible reasons for Kendall's age adjustment.
After the wedding rehearsal, Kendall tells Erica she is afraid that her awkwardness will make people laugh at her at the wedding. Erica gives her a pep talk and then introduces Kendall to the rest of the wedding party, saying: "I would like to present to all of you Miss Kendall Hart, making her debut as my daughter." Everyone but Bianca looks pleased. Hayley Santos (Kelly Ripa) is among those apologizing to Kendall for various things, saying: Sorry for that undercover stunt I pulled at Myrtle's. I grilled you like a flounder. I think the least I could do is get you a soda." Hayley tells Kendall that she recently found out that Adam Chandler is her real father, and also says "Erica was my stepmom for about five minutes, but they were five stellar minutes. You could do worse." Adam Chandler (David Canary) introduces himself to Kendall. Later, at home, Bianca goes downstairs after everyone else is asleep with an ink bottle, clearly intending to destroy Kendall's dress.
On the day of the wedding, Kendall awakes to find her white dress covered with splotches of black ink. Erica, confronted with this disaster, does not focus on either Bianca's vandalism or Kendall's misfortune, but instead concentrates on making the wedding go forward by finding Kendall a new dress to wear. (editorial comment: The new dress is hideous.)

ERICA AND DIMITRI'S wedding. Before the wedding, Mona, Kendall, Bianca, and Erica have a pleasant discussion and pose together as "3 generations of Kane women", although only one of them goes by the name of Kane. The wedding goes smoothly.
The rest of the wedding. Kendall is present but has no lines.
Bianca enters with a suitcase and informs Kendall that she is packing to go to Europe with Erica and Dimitri. Kendall doesn't believe it, but Erica confirms that Bianca is going along with her and Dimitri on the European trip. Erica offers, somewhat reluctantly, to take Kendall along as well, but Kendall declines, saying that it is more important to do what Bianca wants and besides she doesn't even have a passport. Later, Dimitri's brother Edmund suggests that Kendall spend some time with him while Erica and the others are away. He also lets her know that he knows what her game is, saying "Don't con a con."
In this episode, Gellar mispronounces Bianca's name once, calling her Binaca (like the mouthwash).
Edmund is reading about Adam Chandler and Natalie Dillon's car crash. Edmund lectures Kendall on the need for her to be supportive of Erica and Dimitri in the light of the sever injuries to their friends. After Edmund breaks the news of the car accident to Erica he suggests that Erica and Kendall have some time alone. Erica explains Bianca's history to Kendall, and that Bianca chose to live with her father, Travis Montgomery, and offers that as a reason for her continued indulgence of Bianca's questionable behaviour. Later, Erica and Dimitri return from the hospital and tell Kendall they are postponing their trip to Europe. They go upstairs to tell Bianca. Once they are out of the room, Kendall picks up the phone and calls information to get the number of Travis Montgomery in Seattle.
Kendall calls Travis Montgomery. Before she is connected, Erica and Dimitri walk in. Kendall hangs up and says she was calling to have flowers sent to the hospital, but had gotten a wrong number. Bianca walks in with things she has purchased for the trip to Europe. Erica tells Bianca that the honeymoon has been cancelled. Bianca immediately blames Kendall. Erica explains why the trip has been cancelled. Bianca reacts badly, and tells Erica: "I don't have to listen to you. You don't even have custody." After Bianca goes to her room, Kendall takes the opportunity to flatter Erica, and then Erica goes to settle things with Bianca. Once she is alone, Kendall again calls Travis Montgomery. She identifies herself, creates the impression that Bianca is not being treated well by Erica and then hangs up, asking him not to tell Erica that she called. Just then, Erica and Bianca re-enter the room. Seemingly cured of her temper tantrum, Bianca apologizes to Kendall, who apologizes in return. The doorbell rings and Travis walks in.
Lucy announces the arrival of Travis Montgomery (Daniel Hugh Kelly). He enters and asks how Bianca's visit is going. Erica says Bianca's biggest problem is that she is "in between bathing suits", and introduces him to Kendall, who she sends out of the room to phone Dimitri. In the garden, Bianca discovers that her favourite book, Black Beauty, which Erica gave her when she very young, has taken water damage. She accuses Kendall of doing it. Kendall denies this, suggesting that Bianca may have done it herself to frame her. Bianca brings the damaged book to show Erica, and discovers that her father is there. Erica asks Kendall why Bianca is crying. Kendall explains about the book, and that Bianca left it outside, and the sprinklers went on. Kendall offers to immediately drive Bianca to a bookstore to replace the book. Bianca declines. Erica thanks Kendall for the offer, then suggests to Bianca that the book can be somehow restored. This seems to mollify Bianca, who goes outside. Kendall leaves, saying: " I'll be in my room."
With Kendall listening from upstairs, Travis tells Erica he is taking Bianca back to Seattle. Travis tells Dimitri that "Erica has handled this [Kendall's unexpected arrival] about as well as she handled her affair with my brother." When Travis insists upon leaving with Bianca, Dimitri tells him that Erica was raped, and that was how Kendall was conceived. This is news to Travis. After much discussion, Dimitri suggests asking Bianca what she wants. Kendall visits Bianca first, and creates the false impression that Erica wants Bianca to leave with Travis so that she and Dimitri can have time alone. When Travis asks Bianca what she wants to do, she elects to go home with her father. Travis thanks Kendall for calling him. Bianca and her father leave. Erica is upset.
Before Natalie's funeral, Erica is still worrying about her relationship with Bianca and unable to sleep. Kendall offers to help, but Erica is inconsolable and goes for a walk in the garden. Kendall pretends to be upset about Bianca's departure and gets reassurance from Dimitri that everything will work out. Erica walks in at the end of his reassuring speech, and says she's fine and that they need to leave for the funeral. After the funeral, Erica announces to Dimitri and Kendall that she intends to take Travis back to court and sue for full custody of Bianca.
Kendall tries to talk Erica out of suing for custody of Bianca, but only succeeds in angering her. Dimitri suggests to Erica that she has hurt Kendall's feelings, and Erica says (somewhat ungrammatically): "Who cares. Do all we have to think about anymore is Kendall's feelings?" Kendall hears this and leaves the house to go horseback riding. When she returns, Dimitri talks to her, and explains that Erica's father left when she was a child, so Erica grew up believing that everyone she loved would eventually leave. In the end, Kendall says to Dimitri: "I think you're the most wonderful man that I've ever known in my whole life. Erica's really lucky to have someone like you."
Kendall enters the living room and asks the maid, Peggy Moody, if Erica has come down yet. She is informed that Erica and Dimitri have gone to see Jack Montgomery, a lawyer. Kendall sends Peggy away, saying she would like to have her coffee alone, and a daydream sequence ensues, in which Kendall sees the return of Bianca with Erica and Dimitri catering to her every whim, with herself relegated to the status of errand girl. Waking, Kendall phones Travis again on the pretext of inquiring after Bianca's well being, and lets slip that Erica is planning to sue for custody. After hanging up, Kendall says: "It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it." Later, Erica returns and makes her awareness of Kendall's betrayal known.
For this episode, Kendall wears noticeably less makeup and a very interesting red outfit with white buttons, which is quite different from the sort of thing she had worn in previous episodes.
Kendall, realizing that Erica has no direct evidence of her perfidy, concocts a story that she received a call from Travis and mistakenly told him where they were and what they were doing. Then Kendall bursts into tears and flees the room. Later, Erica lectures Kendall on privacy. After Erica leaves, Dimitri speaks to Kendall and when she says she feels useless and perhaps should get a job, he offers her a job as his assistant. She accepts, and seems to genuinely appreciate Dimitri's support. After he leaves, Kendall goes to the garden, where she has a daydream about Dimitri that considerably exaggerates his affection for her. Waking from it, she says to herself: "Maybe. Just Maybe."
This is the first episode in which Gellar's image appears in the opening credits.
Erica and Kendall are looking through a fashion catalog. Erica asks Kendall to go shopping with her and then tells Kendall that she plans to train her for a more important role in her company. Erica gets a call from Jack the Lawyer telling her that Travis has canceled Bianca's next visit, and that she won't see Bianca until Labour Day. Upset, Erica calls Bianca, and discovers that Bianca feels that Kendall has taken her place. Travis walks in and takes the phone from Bianca. After speaking to Erica, Travis asks Bianca where she got such an idea. Bianca responds: "Kendall told me." Kendall tries to comfort Erica, without success, and Erica decides that she is too upset to go shopping. Instead she decides to fly to Seattle immediately. She calls Jack the Lawyer and tells him that he's going with her. Erica leaves, and Kendall once again daydreams about Dimitri. When he gets back to the house, Kendall tells him that Erica is on her way to Seattle, but leaves out the fact that Erica tried to reach him before leaving. Dimitri is quite angry.
In Seattle, Erica is told by Travis that Kendall was the one putting false ideas into Bianca's head. Back in Pine Valley, Kendall speaks to Dimitri, and points out that he and Erica just don't seem to get along. Dimitri is upset and rushes Kendall out. After leaving, Kendall fakes an ankle injury. Dimitri brings her back inside, and they have a long talk. Kendall tells him that she believes that she will never fall in love. That she has barely dated, and that the few dates she had were disasters. Dimitri asks her: "What's your dream man like, Kendall?"
Kendall describes her dream man to Dimitri, and, not surprisingly, he is quite a bit like Dimitri. We learn that in school Kendall's class read Cleopatra (meaning Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra), and Kendall uses the play to describe her own self-image:
"When Cleopatra said 'I have a mortal longing in me', I knew exactly what she meant. Mortal longings. Finally, all of that pain that I had inside of me had a name. I want something that I'm never going to have and I learned that for sure when I met Erica. Erica's Cleopatra, and I'm a loser. I'm the worst kind of loser. I'm the kind of loser with mortal longings."
Dimitri's brother, Edmund, calls and invites him to dinner. He brings Kendall with him and they meet Maria (Eva LaRue) Peggy Moody gives indications that she might be planning to retire, and the two brothers discourage this. Kendall is a bit bored, and daydreams about Dimitri again. Dimitri wakes her and leaves to go see Maximillian. When he is gone, Eddie asks Kendall where Erica went and why and she tells him. Erica phones as asks for Dimitri. Kendall takes the call and asks how things went in Seattle.
