Dawn and Greg convinced Cheresa to get therapy, which helped her with the nightmares. Greg hired Traci to be a new maid at the Lawson estate. Cheresa and Dawn found Traci spying on them a few times. Dawn told Cheresa that it was likely nothing but Cheresa spoke to Greg about it. Dawn, meanwhile, was upset when Helen told her that she had to move on from Adam as she wanted her parents to get together. Helen went to Mexico and had an one night stand; she told Dawn that it helped her move on. Dawn, knowing that Adam broke up with Robin, told her father to go after Helen while he had the chance. She was put off when Dale, the man Helen hooked up with, showed up in Twin Peaks as she fears Adam missed his chance. Adam, however, told Dawn that he thought Dale looked familiar. Turns out, he is Mallory Cunningham's father! Dawn was shocked that the woman that kidnapped her as a child father was sleeping with her mother. Helen, then, admitted that Dale proposed to her as a way to prove that he didn't know the connection when they met. Dawn and Adam told Helen to be careful, but she accepted his proposal. Dawn and Cheresa, meanwhile, were worried about Andrew, who started to gamble more and more at the casino. Dawn reached out to Chris and Trenyce to let them know their concern. Dawn continued to support Cheresa as she thought something odd was going on with Traci, the maid at the Lawson Estate. She encouraged her fiancé to trust her instincts with the maid. She and Cheresa were also concerned about Andrew's gambling and encouraged him to not get sucked in too much. Dawn also supported Cheresa through her difficult relationship with Chris and Trenyce and told her fiancé to talk through their problems. Dawn and Adam, meanwhile, were worried about Helen when she revealed that she accepted Dale's marriage proposal. She and Adam still believed that Dale was hiding something, so Dawn decided to try to figure out what he was up too. Dawn broke into Dale's office but didn't find anything. Cheresa and Dawn, then, agreed to elope. On the day of the elopement, Dawn decided to go back to Dale's office one more time. Dale, however, caught her in the office and confronted her about being in the office. Dawn tried to cover but Dale realized that she was snooping around. He admitted that he was trying to avenge Mallory's death, so Dawn kicked him and tried to escape. As she was rushing to her car, however, Dale drove his car into Dawn and left her fr dead! Dawn was rushed to the hospital where Greg put her in a medically induced coma in hopes of letting her heal. Slowly, Dawn started to get better and, then, she woke up, where she learned that Dale died and Adam saved Helen from him. Dawn celebrated Christmas with her family, and hoped that things would calm down in the New Year.
