From the March 29, 2011 issue of Soap Opera Weekly (p. 4):Heather Is Trapped In A Fire!A kidnapped Heather succeeds in breaking free from her bonds this week, but when she starts a fire to alert outsiders of her location, she gets trapped inside the burning building!
"She realizes, 'This is life or death. I have to get out!' " previews Eden Riegel (Heather).
The fuse is lit when Angelo gets a call from a crooked guard, updating him on Chance's testimony. He informs a captive Heather that her prediction was correct: Chance held nothing back in his testimony. "Heather knows Chance well enough to realize that he's not going to be intimidated," shares Riegel. She also understands that Chance is smart enough to know that even if he did back down and lie on the stand, it doesn't ensure her safety. She's in a vulnerable position, and they're going to kill her if they want to."
Angelo leaves Heather tied up alone, while he steps out for a bite to eat. "When Angelo is leaving, Heather cries out, 'Don't go!' " Riegel recounts. "It's the devil you know versus the devil you don't. Angelo has taken a liking to her because, in a weird way, they both have a similar sense of humor. She thinks she can convince him to let her go. But when he leaves, Heather really freaks out."
Meanwhile, an FBI agent informs Christine, Paul and Nina that a van matching the description of Heather's kidnappers has been found. Chance insists that he be included in the search for Heather.
At the taxidermy shop where Heather is being held captive, she manages to loosen her blindfold. " It's so frightening, because she finally gets the blindfold off and then she's got giant, roaring animals staring her in the face," Riegel describes. "It's creepy and gross." Heather unties her bonds and quickly discovers that all the doors are locked. "It's pure panic for Heather," Riegel shudders.
Heahter notices a pack of matches on the floor. Grabbing an old fox tail, Heather starts a fire, hoping it will draw attention form the outside world. "Before she knows it, the whole place goes up in flames," teases Riegel, "and there's no way out. Will she live or die? Will help get to her in time?"
