Update for Tuesday November 6, 2007

Colleen arrives at Victoria's room to visit her and finds J.T. already there. They talk about how beautiful she looks, like a sleeping beauty. Brad enters the room shortly after and tensions rise between himself and J.T.

J.T. asks to speak with Brad in the hallway and he tells him that it is rough having Brad in the room with him and he asks Brad to leave in order to give him time alone with Victoria. Brad agrees to leave, but he says he'll stop by again soon.

When Lily hears that Cane had nothing to do with the Clear Springs collapse, she is relieved, but she is also upset about Victor's involvement in what happened.

Victor instructs Karen and Neil to gather the press so that he can give a statement. He insists that no press will be allowed to ask him any questions as he does not want to answer them at this time.

Jack confronts Maggie and Heather in the coffeehouse where he tells them he thinks Victor should be their person of interest in the Ji Min case. He asserts that Victor was angry with Ji Min because he was going to back out of the interview that would have ruined Jack. Maggie and Heather remain skeptical, however.

Lily and Cane see one another in the coffeehouse. They talk about Cane's experience in the collapsed parking garage. Before Lily leaves, she gives Cane a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Later, when Lily meets Colleen at the hospital, she tells her of the encounter she and Cane had. Lily wonders if she should invite Cane to the concert at Indigo later that night and Colleen reassures her that inviting him to the concert would be a good idea.

At the coffeehouse, Heather asks Cane to join her at the Enrique Iglessias concert at Indigo later that night. Cane agrees to accompany her.

Lily runs into Heather and Cane at the coffeehouse, and after Heather leaves, Lily invites Cane to the concert. He said he'd love to go with her, but he already agreed to go with Heather. Lily is disappointed, but she tries to hide that from Cane.

Victor delivers his statement to the press. He reassures the press that he will investigate what happened at Clear Springs very thoroughly and that he is praying for everyone who was injured in the accident.

Jack sees Victor's press statement and storms into Victor's office afterwards to confront him about his refusal to take responsibility for what happened in Clear Springs. Victor demands Jack leave his office, but before he does, Jack pets Zapato and gets a sample of his hair for Maggie to test against the hair found on Ji Min's body.

Jack goes back to the coffeehouse and gives Maggie the sample of Zapato's fur. Maggie says she cannot test it as the police cannot accept evidence collected by civilians. After Jack leaves, Maggie throws Zapato's fur into the trash.

Neil invites Karen to the concert at Indigo and she gladly accepts his invitation.

Noah tells Sharon he had a nightmare about Clear Springs.

J.T. and Colleen agree to put their past behind them and agree to be friends.

Update for Monday November 6, 2007

Cane and Katherine receive the initial report from N.I.S.T. stating that there was no evidence for substandard materials being used in the construction of the parking garage, but that they will have to wait for the final report to find out exactly what the cause of the collapse was.

Victor and Jack are at the hospital when they see a news broadcast saying they have determined what caused the Clear Springs garage to collapse. The news reporter says that the collapse was caused by oil drilling outside the city and that the owner of the drilling company was Victor Newman.

Jack becomes very angry with Victor, which Victor responds to by telling Jack he followed all the regulations in his drilling operation outside Clear Springs.

While J.T. and Nikki gather some of Victoria's personal belongings to bring to the hospital, Nikki finds the baby clothes she bought for Victoria and flashes back to when she gave Victoria the clothes. This memory saddens her.

David meets Nikki at the hospital and tells her he is sorry about what happened. Puzzled, she asks him what he is talking about, and David informs her that the cause of the Clear Springs collapse was due to the mining Victor's company was doing. Nikki is furious and confronts Victor about all the damage he has caused. She tells him that he caused injury to his own daughter and grandson.

When Nick finds out about the cause of the Clear Springs collapse, he is also furious and confronts his father.

Neil tries to comfort Victor at Newman by telling him that he went over everything to make sure regulations were being met, and that Victor had no way of knowing something like this would happen. He tells Victor that the accident was not his fault.

J.T. sits with Victoria and talks with her, as does Nick.

Cane informs J.T. about the cause of the Clear Springs garage.

Sharon and Jack are concerned about Noah's behavior. He refuses to eat or do anything except play his video game. He doesn't even talk to his mom or Jack if he doesn't have to. Sharon calls Noah's therapist, and Jack agrees that she made a good move by doing that. Jack tries to get Noah to take a walk with him, but Noah says "no thanks" and continues to play his video game.

Update for Thursday October 25, 2007

A doctor informs Nick and Sharon that Noah cracked some ribs and ruptured his spleen. She tells them she needs permission to either repair or remove his spleen depending on what she finds on the operating room.

Colleen arrives in Clear Springs with one of Adrian's shirts for the rescue dog to sniff. She inquires about Jack and Adrian and Kevin tells her that no one has found them or heard from them yet.

The rescue workers find Victoria's purse in the rubble. Nikki is quite upset at the discovery and she calls Nick to tell him of the news.

The rescue workers recover a dead body from the garage. Victor looks under the sheet when they bring him out, but he says he has never seen the man before. J.T. also looks and tells everyone that the deceased man is Joe, the construction supervisor he was working for.

Victoria calls for Adrian in the parking garage, but does not receive an answer for a while.

Later, she hears Adrian and eventually sees him as he digs his way over to her. They are both very glad to see one another. Victoria assures Adrian that she knows Victor is doing everything he can to get to them because when she was growing up and ran away after a fight with her parents, Victor hired some sky writes to write messages to Victoria, ordering her to come home, in the sky.

Sharon and Nick find out that Noah's spleen could not be repaired and that he needed two units of blood. The doctor tells them that Noah will have to be closely monitored for the rest of his life because he will be much more susceptible to infection. Sharon is upset, but Nick reminds her to be grateful that Noah is alive.

The rescue workers tell Victor that if the methane levels continue to rise, they will call off the rescue mission due to the danger of a second explosion. The special equipment Victor has requested arrives and the camera is lowered into the garage.

Rescue workers request everyone to leave the construction site due to the rise in methane levels.

The rescue workers locate Victoria and Adrian using the special camera and they tell them they will be right in to get them out. However, at that time, a second explosion occurs above ground.

After the explosion, Victor inquires if the methane levels will remain low for a while. A rescue worker tells him that that is the case and he grabs a hardhat and goes into the parking garage, in search of his daughter.

Victor finds Jack and digs him out of the rubble. He brings Jack to safety, where he is greeted with a gurney and an ambulance. Daniel calls Sharon to tell her that Jack is unconscious, but alive.

Adrian has something stuck in his leg from the second explosion and he is experiencing a lot of pain. Victoria helps him get to his feet and tells him she knows he is in pain, but they must get out of the garage. The explosion has created a hole near them and they have a very short distance to walk to get out.

J.T. goes into the garage to find Victoria and Adrian and meets them as they are headed out. As Victoria reaches the entryway of the garage, a piece of concrete hits her and she falls and rolls down a hill, hitting her head several times.

Everyone is mortified to see Victoria get hit.

Update for Wednesday October 24, 2007

Amber is unconscious in her car with blood on her face. When she comes to, she realizes that her doors are stuck and has to break a window to get out.

Michael calls Clear Springs to let them know that Lauren and Maggie have been checked out by the hospital and are okay.

Jill asks Nikki if anyone has seen Katherine, J.T., or Cane. Nikki says she thought Katherine left, but Jill tells her J.T. wanted to show Kay and Cane something he found in the parking garage.

J.T. and Cane work to dig themselves and Katherine out of the garage. They clear a pathway, but more debris falls at that moment, blocking their way. Katherine insists that because she hurt her shoulder, she is holding J.T. and Cane up, and that they should go on without her.

Once they reach the elevator, Katherine insists J.T. and Cane go on without her, so they promise her that when they reach the rescue team, the will come back for her. They tell her not to move so that they can find her again. J.T. and Cane climb up the elevator shaft and reach safety.

Amber stumbles upon Katherine in the elevator. They are very glad to see one another. Amber sits and talks with Kay and offers her a candy bar and a broach for her makeshift sling.

Amber tells Kay about how sorry she is for the mistakes she made in her marriage to Cane. The women are able to relate to each other on a number of levels. Kay tells Amber that she will make many more mistakes in her life and she needs to learn to forgive herself. Amber admits to Katherine that she still loves Cane.

Once J.T. and Cane reach safety, J.T. asks about Victoria. He is worried that no one has heard from her.

Cane tells the rescue team that Kay is still inside the garage and that he will show them where she is. The team insists he must stay out of the garage, but Cane makes up a story about how he was part of an Australian emergency organization and that he wants to help. They allow him to go in with them to retreive Kay, much to Jill's dismay.

Cane and the rescue workers find Katherine and Amber in the elevator. They are surprised to see Amber, and since they only brought one mask, Cane gives his to Amber.

Daniel is overjoyed to see Amber when she returns to safety.

Nikki and Jill are also overjoyed by the appearance of Katherine. Katherine tells Jill over and over that she loves her, saying that she hasn't told her daughter she loves her enough in life.

Jack continues to struggle to dig himself out of the garage. Debris continues to fall all around him. He pauses to write Sharon a letter about how much she means to him and how much he loves her.

Daniel arrives at Clear Springs and spots Nick. He puts Nick on the phone with Phyllis. Phyllis is so glad that Nick is okay. He informs her, however, that Jack and Noah are still trapped inside the collapsed parking garage.

Lauren borrows Paul's cell phone to call Michael. She tells him she is trapped inside a collapsed parking garage at Clear Springs, but Michael has trouble hearing her with the bad connection. He calls Victor who informs him that the underground parking garage in Clear Springs collapsed. Michael tells him to call as soon as he knows anything and that he will be in Clear Springs as soon as he can.

Lauren panics because she is afraid the rescue workers won't find her, Paul, Noah, and Maggie. Paul spends time trying to console Lauren and calm her down, telling her the rescue workers will find them.

Jack continues to struggle to move debris in order to find a way out of the collapsed structure.

Rescue workers find Lauren, Maggie, Paul, and a badly injured Noah. Sharon, Nick, Nikki, Victor, and Michael are overjoyed when the four of them emerge from the underground parking garage.

Sharon, Nick, and Noah go to the hospital in order to get medical attention for Sharon and Noah's injuries.

Phyllis loses her temper in prison because she is so frustrated not knowing what is going on in Clear Springs. Jana takes the blame for the temper tantrum, telling the guard that she is frustrated because one of her dear friends is caught in the rubble and she doesn't know what is going on.

Katherine is alone in another part of the collapsed parking garage.
