Matt goes to meet Phyllis Corrigan's plane. Maggie requests that Dr. Evans delay Gary's surgery until Phyllis arrives. Dr. Richards questions Dan for further information after finding him with the burned strongbox. Dan's defense of Carolee fails to sway Dr. Richards, who feels immediate and decisive action must be taken to stop the rumors from spreading, even if Carolee is innocent. Phyllis' cool, businesslike demeanor toward Gary and the family takes Matt and Maggie by surprise.
