He Loves Her Not.

Tad visits Jake in the hospital and they talk. Jake apologizes for not being around when Tad lost Dixie. Tad says he can live with Dixie being gone, but not Kate. "She's living proof that Dixie and I ever were," he says. Everything's fine until Tad starts asking questions about Jake's life, about Carolyn. Jake turns over on his side, saying he's tired and Tad needs to leave. As Tad leaves, he runs into Colby, who tells him that Adam's been committed. Tad rushes off to pay Adam a visit in Oak Haven. Back in Jake's room, Dixie pays a visit to Jake. She leans over into Jake's ear and whispers, "Tad needs you..."

What If I Don't Want Kids?

Meanwhile, at the Chandler manse, Colby and JR are playing with little A. Colby notices Cassandra's elephant. Adam walks in and JR lays into him about skipping some meetings. Just then Dixie appears, throwing Adam for a loop. JR grabs Cornelius and asks where the toy came from; he doesn't know. Dixie goads him to tell JR the truth and Adam tells her to shut up. JR angrily tells Adam to stop messing with his memories of Dixie. Adam breaks down and says Dixie is haunting him! He gives JR a good-parts version of what Dixie wants, annoying her - and JR. He turns to little A and asks the kiddo to go to the kitchen for a while. Adam demands more answers from Dixie but she just disappears. JR angrily walks back in and as they are yelling at one another, Colby hurries in. Dixie cackles at Adam but no one else hears. Worried, JR tells Colby to call for help. He turns back to Adam, who says Dixie has been torturing him for days. He calmly asks where Dix is; Dixie reappears next to Adam and warns him not to say too much. Colby returns, scared. JR takes her into the hall and then locks Adam in the parlor! Just then, a doctor and two workers arrive from Oak Haven. They return to the parlor as Adam is talking to Dixie and attacking a pillow. Colby begs JR not to send Adam away. Worried about him, the doctor and the two workers haul Adam out as JR and Colby watch. Neither notices that Dixie is standing with them.

You Didn't Tell Me I Could Still Feel!

At the Chandler mansion, Babe and little A visit JR. Neither notice Dixie, sitting near the flowers JR had planned to take to her grave. Babe brings up Richie and Treena; he says there is too much going on with Adam to be worried about Richie. Babe leaves. Little A and JR play with Cassandra's elephant as Dixie watches over them, smiling and laughing. JR thinks about the stuffed giraffe, Cornelius, he used to have and wonders where it is now. He is distracted with a phone call so Dixie appears to little A. She tells him how much she loves him and that she'll always be watching. JR returns and sees little A staring into space; he wonders what the boy sees. JR and little A read a book together and then JR sings "You Are My Sunshine". Dixie joins in. JR kisses little A's head. The kiddo falls asleep so JR takes him to bed. Dix finishes the song, crying. She looks up and asks why they didn't tell her she could still feel. "Wasn't it enough to die and lose my children once?" she asks. JR returns to the room and sees Cornelius on a chair. Dixie smiles and reaches out to him but JR can't see her. "Mom?" he whispers, holding the giraffe close to his heart.

Still Keeping Secrets!

On his plane, Adam orders Dixie to tell the pilot to land but she won't. He tries to get up but she locks his seatbelt in place! She offers him peanuts - and another copy of the adoption record. When Adam still won't agree to tell Tad the truth, Dixie shows Adam a video of him having her committed! Adam defends his actions and then asks how she could simply walk away from Kate! The more he talks, the more upset Dixie becomes. She can't take the pressure when Adam says she is trying to atone for her own sins. Emotionally, she tells Adam they have to make things right. "If we don't, might I see you roasting beside me in hell?" he asks. Dixie repeats that she is trying to make things right. Adam goads her, saying he'd rather burn than give Tad his daughter. Dixie motions with her hand and says that can be arranged as the plane plummets toward the ground! Adam calls her bluff, saying she can't crash the plane because then he can't tell Tad the truth. She rights the plane but Adam still won't agree to help. "Time is running out," she says and disappears. The plane hits some turbulence.

Dead Wrong!

Adam finds Dixie in his bedroom and asks why she is sleeping in his bed. She floats a pillow across the room, exposing another of Kate's adoption certificates! She locks the door so he can't leave. He receives a business call and realizes he's late for a meeting in Arizona. Dixie says he isn't going anywhere until he tells Tad the truth about Kathy/Kate. Adam opens the closet to pack and flames leap out! She produces a single suit for him to wear since his other clothes have gone up in smoke. Adam finds another adoption record in his pocket! "Lives are in the balance, Adam," she says, reminding him that this is his chance to save his soul. Adam accuses her of being too afraid to face Tad herself and gleefully tells her about Tad's new life with Krystal and Jenny. Stuart arrives and Adam asks how he got through the door. Concerned, Stuart asks who Adam was talking to. Adam admits that Dixie is haunting him! He asks Stuart to talk to Dix for him. Stuart looks at the ceiling and asks Dixie to please leave Adam alone. He rattles on about his heart and the panic attacks. A cold breeze blows through Adam. Stuart doesn't feel anything and says Adam just needs a vacation. Adam remembers the Arizona meeting but doesn't want to reopen the closet. So, he just follows Stuart out. Dixie is sitting on the bed when he slams the door. Outside, she promises he'll come through. She follows him to his private plane, pretending to be his flight attendant!

Opals Rocks Don't Scare Me!

Opal agrees to see what she can find out from Adam's ghost. She tiptoes through the sitting room as Adam chatters on about the "evil" spirit. Opal begins questioning him about what tricks the ghost has played and Adam tells her everything. He gets jumpy. Adam changes his mind about the exorcism and tells Opal he must be imagining things. He hears a whisper of wind. Dixie appears and starts giving Adam a hard time; she doesn't reveal herself to Opal. When Opal turns her back, Dixie picks up one of her crystals and moves it; Opal thinks Adam is playing tricks on her! She tells him off and storms out. Laughing, Dixie says she is there to help Adam save his soul and helping Tad find Kate is the only way to do it. Adam says his soul doesn't need saving! Dixie tells him to look in the mirror if he wants to see the future and then disappears. At the mirror, Adam's reflection turns into burning flames! "Time is running out," Dixie whispers.

Dangerous Operations...

Adam sees Dixie's reflection in the mirror and spins around - but no one is there! He yells at Father Clarence, asking what he wants and pretending that the visions aren't bothering him a bit. Adam thinks back and realizes the visions began when he was prescribed the anti-anxiety meds; he throws them away. In his briefcase, he finds another adoption certificate! Dixie starts laughing! She appears and when Adam isn't frightened, she snaps her fingers to make the lights flash and causes the fire in the fireplace to flare up. Adam asks what he's done to deserve a haunting and Dixie laughs again. She grabs Kate's adoption paper and says, "I'm here to help you do the right thing." Adam tells her to just give Tad the papers but soon realizes she can't. He goes upstairs but she chases him back down, saying he has to do it - and she's going to make sure he does! Colby and Cassandra walk in and ask who he is talking to; Adam says he's practicing a speech and sends the girls upstairs. When the girls are gone, Dixie reappears and begins humming. Adam says she is a lousy ghost but she was a great mother. Dix says he better start playing by her rules - or else! Then, she disappears.

Who's Crazy Now?

Adam folds the adoption decree and puts it away as Krystal asks what is going on. Adam refuses to discuss his health so JR fills in Krystal and Tad. Tad finds the situation funny and is certain Adam is faking it. They verbally spar until Krystal steps in, trying to be kind. She, JR and Tad go to the hall and watch Adam. Back in the sitting room, Adam demands that Father Clarence stop whatever he is trying to do! Adam is certain he is behind the weird happenings. He says he'll never tell Tad the truth about Kate. Adam rips up the pieces of paper and begins eating it as Krystal and the others return. He cackles at them. Tad grabs the paper and pretends to eat it; he tells JR to try some, too. Adam laughs even harder but still won't talk so Krystal and Tad leave. Adam insists he doesn't need JR's help; JR isn't satisfied but Adam won't budge so he leaves. Adam pours a drink and then hears Dixie's song again. He looks into a mirror - and there she is!

Dixie's Final Scene

At the hospital, Jeff and Joe pull Tad back from Dixie as the monitors flatline. Jamie and JR burst into the room. As the crowd is pushed out by a nurse, JR assures Tad that Dixie will pull through. JR can't forget what Dixie told him; Tad continues to hear Dixie tell him "Together". Opal, Di and Dell are anxious for news, but no one can give them progress reports. In the background, Tad remembers the good times with Dixie and JR recalls the Christmas pageant and Dixie helping him through his solo. Jamie recalls bringing a frog home and losing it. Inside the hospital room, Joe realizes he may not be able to save Dixie and remembers advising her against another pregnancy. Tad flashes back to their weddings.

At the Chandler mansion, Babe is in shock. Adam goes on the attack, telling her everything that has happened is her fault. Jack interrupts the fight, telling Adam to go to the hospital. His family needs him. Derek and Jack begin questioning Zarf and Babe erupts in anger. Those were her pancakes, if anyone is to blame, it is her not Zoe. In tears, Babe asks to go to the hospital to see JR. She and a bodyguard leave.
As Babe arrives in the waiting room to comfort JR, Dr. Joe Martin comes outside. "We lost her," he says. Without saying a word, Tad leaves the crowd. Joe keeps Jamie from following his father and Babe comforts JR. Angry, he demands that Joe go back inside and fix Dixie. Finally realizing his mother is gone, JR asks to see Dixie. Babe wheels him inside. Jamie follows with Adam and Opal. Dixie singing "You Are My Sunshine" fills the room. Those closest to Dixie say their goodbyes, but Jamie can't. He stays in the back of the room, crying. Di leaves the room, angry that they couldn't catch the killer before he got to Dixie. Aidan takes her in his arms and holds her while she cries. As JR takes Dixie's hand, she appears and her spirit squeezes his shoulder, then moves to Jamie. Her spirit can't find Tad in the hospital. Babe brings JR his mother's bracelet and, crying, he puts it on Dixie's wrist. "I love you, Mama," he says.
