Erica Schemes to Use Dimitri
----------------------------
At Linden House, Erica is on the phone agreeing to appear on "Market St.
Week" -- a syndicated TV show.  Opal overhears that Erica also wants
Dimitri Merrick to appear.  Opal congratulates Erica on her good decision.
She is happy to see that Erica is going to use Dimitri to get back at
Adam.  Erica announces that she is once again "in control" of her life;
when Dimitri and Adam finally realize what she is up to, they will be busy
"eating her dust!"

At Wildwood, Dimitri comes home to see Angelique sitting up in the parlor.
Helga asks him how he can possibly STILL be considering a divorce?!
Dimitri orders Helga out and starts to talk to Angelique; he tells her
that he has decided to drop the divorce until she is truly better -- they
will discuss it again then.  Later, a happy Angelique fantasizes about
getting better and having a baby with Dimitri.

Erica shows up for a visit and apologizes for her past behavior to
Angelique.  Angelique goes back to her room, leaving Dimitri alone with
Erica.  Erica puts on "THE CHARM" and tells Dimitri that she understands
if he backs out of the "Market St. Week" appearance.  She allows Dimitri
to "convince" her that they should both appear for Enchantment's sake.

Erica calls the TV show and confirms that they will both appear. Then
Erica, batting her eyes coyly, suggests that she and Dimitri have dinner
to discuss the show.  A surprised Dimitri agrees to a dinner date.

Later, Erica gloats to Opal that Dimitri has proven "he is just a man."
SHE is Erica Kane -- Dim will be rendered defenseless!  Meanwhile,
Dimitri smiles and tells Helga he knows EXACTLY what Erica is up to...


An Li Makes a Three-Year Plan
-----------------------------
At Myrtle's, Brian arrives home with Myrtle and An Li.  Myrtle is very
relieved that Adam has paid Brian's bail.  Hayley phones and An Li looks
furious as he makes a date to see Hayley. Hayley tells Brian they need
to act cool and not see each other -- for Brian's sake.

Later, An Li tells Brian that the investigation on the marriage has been
closed.  She still has to do is go through the waiting period and apply
for citizenship.  When Brian hears that the waiting period is THREE years,
he sulks and goes upstairs to take a nap.  An Li tells Myrtle that she
hopes when the three years is up, Brian will realize he loves her and NOT
Hayley...

Later, An Li goes up to her room, removes her clothes, and starts to get
in bed with Brian.  [cliffhanger]


Gee, ANYONE Can Buy a Gun in Pine Valley
----------------------------------------
At Adam's house, Trevor asks Arlene why she is covering up for Adam.  He
tells her that Mimi and Derek found the gun at the bottom of the river.
Adam comes in and demands that Trevor leave Arlene alone.  Derek and Mimi
arrive and announce that they know Arlene purchased the gun.

Adam tells Derek and Mimi that there is NO LAW against purchasing a gun
and throwing it in the river.  Derek tells Arlene to get a lawyer fast.
It wasn't too smart for a felon out on furlough to purchase a gun!  Derek
and Mimi leave.  As Trevor starts to question Arlene again, Hayley comes
in and says she is hearing the voice again.  She KNOWS she killed Will!

Arlene comforts Hayley and tells her that the voice she is hearing is
NOT her own.  It's Arlene's voice!  As Adam tries to stop her, Arlene
tells a story:  She bought the gun when she found out Will was taking
Hayley away on a cruise; she was afraid for Hayley's life.  [Trevor's Line
Of The Day:  "So where did you buy the piece, sis?  Guns'R'Us?"]  Arlene
tells Trevor that no one questioned her -- it was easy to buy it.

As Arlene tells the story, she flashes back to a confrontation with Will
on the day he died.  She blasts Will for making Hayley an alcoholic and
tells Will its time to take her seriously.  She pulls the gun on Will and
Will taunts her that she could NEVER use it.  As he taunts her, she
screams, "I'll KILL You!  I'll KILL you, Will!"  Will walks over and rips
the gun from Arlene's hand and throws it on the floor.  He tells her to
GET OUT -- she is a failure as a mother!  The flash back ends...

Trevor asks Arlene how the gun ended up in Adam's safe.  Adam admits to
covering for Arlene; he was just trying to help her.  Trevor says he
hopes they are telling the truth.  Meanwhile, at McKay's, Derek and Mimi
discuss the fact that Arlene AND Adam could still be major suspects.
[cliffhanger]


Well, that's all for today...
