Summary
Mignon Varney had called Emily Holst to tell her that Vicky MacRae had gone to the hospital in Hawthorne for the birth of her child.
While JoAnne Paterson was in the Spee-D-Mart getting her morning coffee, Mike Daugherty came in and told Emily to put a TV on showing fire in one of the towers of the Wolrd Trade Center where an aircraft had crashed into it. JoAnne was worried because her daughter-in-law, Julie, worked high in one of the towers. Whle they watched another aircraft crashed into the second tower. JoAnne tried to phone her son, Dave, but couldn't get through.
After they'd seen both towers collapse Emily took JoAnne home so she would be near her phone when Dave called. When he did call he reported that he'd been speaking with Julie when the tower collapsed and he was sure she'd died. Emily promised to stay with JoAnne overnight if she needed.
Dave Patterson was a classmate of Emily, who tried to contact Shae Kirkendahl, another classmate who lived in New York. Emily eventually managed to contact Eve McClellan who was with Shae. They walked into Manhattan to the centre Dave and his sons were sitting in and took them to Shae's appartment on Staten Island.
After a shocked day at school, Kayla took advantage of JJ being at Brandon's house to get some nude time on the patio but realised she'd better get a bikini on because she didn't know when others in the family would be home. Emily phoned a couple of times wanting phone numbers and asked Kayla to get dinner for Kevin and JJ. She wondered if they could have a fundraiser to support Mr. Patterson and his kids and help the people of Bradford feel they were doing something instead of feeling useless.
