Plot Overview

As Dawn answers the phone she hears a gunshot and runs into the study and finds her dad. She then screams into the phone to call an ambulance. Jerry finds Blaine still up and worried about the hearing. Then when he goes to bed, she gets a call from Jordan. Jordan tells Blaine to meet him in two hours on the street at his car. Paramedics arrive and call Gulfcoast and speak to Courtney Marshall. Then Courtney learns that the man with the shot to the chest is Mike Marshall. Then Dawn tells Courtney it's their daddy that shot himself. Courtney freezes up. Kevin, Reena, and Iris arrive home from the party and Iris is disappointed that Alex didn't show up. Iris tells Reena it is over for her and Alex. Then Courtney calls Kevin and asks him to come to the hospital right away because her father shot himself. Clarice tells Larry that Robert Delaney didn't know she was pregnant with Cory until after Iris had tricked him into marrying her. Then she tells Larry that she got a letter from Robert and he is asking to see Cory. At Miranda's, Kit and Joey talk to Amy and Brad about vacations. Then Brad suggests they all go skiing this winter but Joey tells them he doesn't ski. Then Rick and Sally arrive. Blaine chats with Margo about the old days in Vegas and how some girls she knew were hooked up with guys from the mob and some wound up dead. Iris and Reena wonder what is wrong with Mike the way Kevin took off for the hospital. Reena wonders if Mike tried to commit suicide but they decide he would never do that to his family. Kevin arrives in OR to scrub up when Courtney enters and tells him she couldn't do anything to save him and he is gone. Dennis comforts Dawn at the hospital. Dawn tells Dennis that her daddy shot himself. Then Courtney enters, meets Dennis, and tells Dawn that their daddy never even came to. Dawn doesn't want to go back to the house and Dennis says that it will be dawn soon and offers to drive them both out to the ranch to tell Kate the news. At Miranda's Joey tells Amy that Kit is on to her but she tells Joey that he doesn't know if he was serious about making a pass at him or not. Then Craig invites everyone to a party he is giving next week at the Disco/Supper Club. Also at the party, Sally tells Rick that Joey is a very special person and she used to be hung up on him. Larry and Clarice argue about Robert Delaney wanting to come to town to see Cory. Larry tells Clarice to write a letter to Robert telling him he can't come. Joey tells Kit that they can have things back the way they used to be if they leave Bay City. He also tells Kit that with Gwen off in Australia with Willis she may decide to stay there and then Frame Construction would be gone and he would be out of work. Kit tells Joey it would be hard to leave her family again but she would do it for him. Courtney and Dawn arrive at the Marshall Ranch and tell Kate that Mike shot himself. Then Kate thanks Dennis for bringing the girls out and decides she better call Justin and then Paige. In Italy, Justin gets word from Kate that his dad shot himself and says he will be home right away. Buzz calls Blaine and tells her to meet him at the newsstand before she goes to the hearing. Then Jerry finds Blaine up and dressed. Meanwhile, Buzz tells Jordan that Blaine will be here. Kate remembers Michael telling Kate he would be home to stay sooner than she thinks. Then Kate tells Dennis, Courtney, and Dawn that she has to get ready to welcome her son home.
