Cass sped to the rescue.
The wedding guests heard Monique scream and saw her fall. Adam took control and sent Vicky to phone for an ambulance. He felt for a pulse and declared Monique dead. Rex sat down. That Old Carrot had seen the whole thing. Nicole looked sick. Rex called for help. He caught Nicole trying to run past. She told him she'd seen him push her and broke away. He went after her, trying to convince her she was mistaken. She ran far into the woods, stumbling over her veil occasionally. He gave chase. She hid behind a tree and then some vines, in which she left her veil marooned before fleeing. He saw the veil and tried to strangle it with his tie unawares.
Amanda dropped in on Sam. He told her they had a problem with honesty and confessed that Mitch was his brother and he'd crossed the Corys so they were keeping it quiet but he couldn't keep it from her. He thanked her for understanding. He gave her a gift.
Rex almost caught up to Nicole. She screamed for help. She broke through a wrought iron gate and collapsed into Cass' arms. Naturally, she screamed. He tried to calm her down. Rex heard her screaming at him and slunk off. Cass tried to reason with her. He realized no one would believe he hadn't killed Monique unless he could produce Rex. He threw Nicole over his shoulder and walked off.
Felicia told Adam she'd seen Monique outside Cass' suite. Donna came in and identified her as the maid. Adam sent a party to find Cass. Donna missed Nicole. Michael went looking for her. Felicia was worried that Adam suspected Cass. That Old Carrot appeared and said he'd witnessed Cass killing her.
Cass shoved Nicole into the sidecar. She sobbed and yelled. He said he wouldn't kill her and strapped her in before driving off.
Amanda's gift was a collage of mementos of their relationship. She loved it.
Wally told Mitch that he believed in Cass' innocence. That Old Carrot's word carries less weight. Adam put out an APB on Cass. Michael dashed in and said Nicole had been seen struggling as Cass took off with her. He comforted Donna.
Nicole got her hands free and commenced hitting Cass with her fists. Faced with a roadblock and her assault, he drove off the road and fell over the handlebars. She fell out too. He made sure she was all right. She told him he couldn't take a woman over the state line and urged him to run. He tried to calm her down. He tried to explain about Rex. She decided he was insane. He dragged her off protesting.
Amanda tried to bring herself to tell Sam who she was. He said he wanted her to meet Mitch. He was innocently and openly delighted to be with her. She felt guilty.
Adam interrogated That Old Carrot. He was suspicious of his motives in spying on Cass. Then he interrogated Felicia. She told him about the perfume and the affair. She assured him that wasn't incriminating. Adam left. Donna thanked Michael for his help. He told her he'd do anything for Nicole.
Cass took Nicole to his prison. He assured her he wouldn't hurt her. He told her he'd been a prisoner. She didn't get it. She assured him she didn't think he was crazy. She didn't believe it. He explained Rex' plan. He asked for her help in exposing Rex. She begged him to let her go. He begged her to trust him. She refused to tell the authorities he wasn't the murderer. She told him he was insane and he had to turn himself in. He counted 10. She told him he had to accept that there was no Rex. He told her Rex had killed Kathleen and broke down sobbing. She seemed to feel that the plane crash had upset the balance of his mind. He said Kathleen hadn't died in a plane crash and if she was dead she'd been murdered. He said she couldn't leave until he let her go. He said he'd tell her a story.
Adam phoned Michael to say the motorcycle had been found. Michael left Donna to check it out, having assured her nothing would happen to Nicole.
Sam told Amanda he wanted a lot of kids. He told her his brothers kid Matthew was great. She became tense. He expressed concern. She fled.
Amanda ran into Ada at home. Ada insisted she tell her why she'd been crying. She confided she loved Sam and she was a louse. He loves Mandy Ashton.
Cass explained the situation fairly calmly. Nicole continued to think he was deranged. He told her Alicia Allingham had become obsessed with him in Paris while Kathleen was in London briefly. He resembled Rex, you see. She followed him and approached him whenever Kathleen wasn't around. One day she followed him in her car. He drove faster, trying to lose her. She didn't take a curve. He read about it in the papers in the morning. Rex blamed him. He took Kathleen. Suddenly Cass heard a noise. He opened the door to check and Nicole made a dash for freedom past him.
Editor's modern note: Cass' version is slightly different from Rex' account of his wife's death. In fact in Cass' version Cass is slightly more culpable IMO.
