Kendall turns around and is shocked by Ethan's close proximity to her. His smirking face hiding a dark secret. Something has changed with him and she feels it with every fiber of her being. Kendall looks around for Zach but does not see him anywhere. Sensing Kendall's panic Ethan puts his hand on her shoulder when Zach comes out of nowhere and shoves him away from Kendall. "What did I tell you about going anywhere near my wife, Ethan!" Before either men could react Kendall pulls Zach to her side and holds on to his arm for dear life. Kendall feels chilled to the bone for no reason just looking into Ethan's cold eyes. Zach looks at Kendall senses her fear and panic and pulls her into a protective hug. He turns to Ethan "What the hell did you do to my wife?" Ethan puts his hands up and says "I just came to say truce, uncle, white flag whipping in the wind. You win. Kendall I just wanted to give you this as a sign that I will no longer be a menacing factor in your life. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and I don't want to ruin your life with Zach with my constant presence." With that Ethan hands her the signed affidavit relinquishing all of his controlling stocks to Cambias Industries. Kendall takes the affidavit and looks into Ethan's eyes again. There's something dark hiding behind those eyes. Ethan is admitting defeat but something in the way he is looking at her she knows that this is far from over and it has only begun.
He quickly looks away and turns to everyone "I know that I have done nothing but cause pain for everyone. I had a real life changing experience today and can assure you I won't be the Pine Valley manipulator anymore." Kendall knows the words are coming out his mouth but she doesn't believe him. She looks around the room and can tell from the looks on everyone else's face that they all don't believe him either but then she looks up and sees a dark figure standing in the balcony. Her eyes widened with fear as the shadows disappear and the light shines on this mysterious figure before her. Smirking at her his dead eyes fall only on her sending shivers up and down her spine. Kendall shaking her head backs away from Zach he turns to look at her. "No, she whispers, "it can't be no no no no no." She starts to shake uncontrollably Zach tightens his grip on her but she pulls away.
Erica steps forward and tries to touch her daughter but Kendall pulls away from her too. "Darling what is the matter." Kendall tries to escape pushing her way through the crowd. "Kendall, Zach screams, "What's the matter?" Kendall realizes that the exit is on the other side of the room underneath the balcony. She looks up again and sees him just standing there. The walls start to close in on her and she has trouble breathing she leans against the wall with hopes of steadying her nerves. Zach reaches her and tries to hold her but she pushes him away from her and screams "Don't touch me!" Bianca rushes to her sister's side and tries to comfort her. Kendall turns to her and says "Bianca quick where's Miranda?" Bianca hold her sister's hand and says "She left with Maggie to go back to the hotel. What's the matter Kendall why are you acting this way?" Kendall grabs her hand "Quickly we have to get to her before he does." "Who gets to her Kendall you're scaring me what are you talking about, asks Bianca. Kendall starts to panic again when she sees the figure at the balcony leaving. "NNOOOOOO! I won't let him get to you again Bianca I won't let him get Miranda I have to protect you. We need to get out of here now!" Kendall starts to tug on her arm Jackson steps forward "Sweetheart who are you talking about who do you have to protect her from?" Kendall starts to cry and reaches for Jackson "Come on Jackson we need to get to Miranda and hide both her and Bianca before he comes again I wasn't able to protect her the first time I need to protect her now!"
Erica gasps for air "Honey are you talking about Michael?" A heavy silence fills the room. Michael. No one has dared to utter that name since he was killed. Kendall soon becomes more hysterical the very sound of his name tearing her soul into pieces. Every memory of Michael Cambias flashes through her mind. She shakes her head trying to rid herself of anything that related with Michael Cambias. Zach steps forward and says in a low whisper "Sweetheart, Michael is gone he's buried. He can't harm you or your family ever again." Kendall pulls on his jacket "No you don't understand he's here I just saw him he was standing right over there." She points at the balcony and everyone turns expecting to see the devil himself staring back at them but there's no one there. Zach turns to her "Darling there's no one there. It's this whole mess it's causing you stress why don't I take you home so you could rest." Kendall roughly pulls out of his embrace "Don't talk to me like I'm a child Zach I saw him I know I saw him he was just there. He's come back." "Honey you saw his dead body you have the autopsy report we had him exhumed and you saw his rotting corpse. He's dead." Kendall looks at the doorway and sees Michael at the door smiling at her. He blows her a kiss. Her eyes grow large with terror. She can't breathe everyone and everything starts to blur together she can't hear anyone anymore and before she knows it darkness comes to claim her again.
