-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As the show opens a composed Kim is in the bedroom on the telephone with
her therapist, Dr. Allison.  She says she's feeling much better and will
be fine from now on, but as she opens a drawer next to the bed she pulls
out the match book covered in blood and her composure starts to slip.

At the Hortons' (where Jack and Jennifer are now staying), Jennifer is
bemoaning the fact that she's huge.  Jack tells her she should be proud
to look the way she does [Ed. note: Jack should also be proud of the way
he looks -- he finally got a haircut!]  Jennifer thinks she should call
off the shower because it might be too much for Isabella.  Jack says that
perhaps Isabella needs the shower more than Jennifer does.  Just then the
doorbell rings and Isabella arrives eager to plan the party.

At the Alamain house Lawrence complains that he didn't get much sleep and
Vivian surmises that it's because he was thinking about Carly.  Nikki
comes into the room, all ready to go to the hospital to have his patch
removed.  John arrives and says he has something he wants to discuss with
Lawrence -- alone.

At the boat, as Bo, Carly and Shawn Douglas are getting ready to start
their days, Shawn D. announces that he's like to have a brother or
sister.  Carly seems shaken by this remark.  Bo hustles Shawn D. off to
school.  When the two are gone, Carly picks up the phone and telephones
the hospital to make an appointment with Dr. Alvarez for fertility
counseling.

At the Hortons' Isabella, Jennifer and Mrs. Horton are discussing plans
for the shower.  Isabella suggests Wings as the location; Mrs. Horton
says, "Why not here?  It'll be no trouble and Jennifer won't have to
carry all the packages anywhere when the party's over."  Jennifer leaves
the room to telephone Carly.  Alice tells Isabella she can tell she is
hurting and suggests she not plan the party if it's putting too much
strain on her.  Isabella says it's not that much strain and that she
doesn't just want to sit around and wait to die.  Alice tells Isabella
she is a brave woman.  Isabella says she has to keep busy and that it
means a lot to her to be celebrating a new life even as her own life is
leaving.  When Jennifer returns, having been unable to reach Carly, the
conversation turns to cake and games for the shower.

Over at the Alamain house, Lawrence is telling John this isn't a good
time for a talk, but John insists.  He says that he's in a situation
where he has to trust Lawrence and tells Lawrence that he's turning over
control of Eco-Systems to Victor and his attorneys.  He says he'll also
have to replace Isabella, but he's not up to that task right now.  He
asks Lawrence to explain all this to the Board, saying he knows this is
the perfect time for Lawrence to take over.  He hopes Lawrence won't do
that, but right now nothing is more important to him than family.

At the Donovan house, Kim is still on the telephone with Dr. Allison.
She's trying to hold her composure as she tells the doctor that her
problems were caused by medication.  The doctor says she still wants to
see Kim when she goes to Chicago.  Kim, shaking, says that will be
wonderful if the doctor has the time.  Dr. Allison asks about Kim's
fiance.  Kim seems even more shaken as she responds that everything is
great and that they'll be getting married sooner than previously planned,
"a small wedding -- just the two of us."  Dr. Allison says she thought
Kim wanted a wedding with her family and asks why Kim wants to keep the
wedding a secret.  Kim, still trying to "hold on," says she just hasn't
told the family yet.

Over breakfast Bo and Taylor discuss their eagerness to get posted to
vice.  Taylor turns the conversation to Roman and says she thinks she'll
make a meal for him to butter him up.  They make comments about Marlena's
inability to cook, then Taylor remarks how Roman and Marlena seem so
different.  She asks if you have to be a doctor to land a Brady boy.  Bo
laughs and says, "It helps."

At the hospital, Carly asks Dr. Alvarez about the patient who is worried
about not carrying her baby to term.  Dr. Alvarez says it doesn't look
promising and observes that that isn't what Carly really came to talk
about.  Carly tells the doctor about her previous pregnancy and questions
her own ability to have another child.

At the Alamain house, Lisanne and Lawrence bicker over Carly, the MedVan
project and Eco-Systems.  Lisanne thinks Lawrence is having a change of
heart.  Lawrence insists that he still doesn't give something for
nothing.  Lisanne wants to know what he'll get from the MedVan project. 
Just then she notices the Eco-Systems folder that John left and says this
will be the perfect opportunity to get the poison into the water system. 
Lawrence suddenly decides to go to the hospital with Nikki, telling
Lisanne that sometimes people come before financial reports.  He wants
her to handle the Board meeting *and* call off the chemist.  Lisanne says
this is the perfect opportunity to oust John.  Lawrence says there will
be other opportunities.  Lisanne:  "Don't tell me you're suddenly
developing a heart?"  Lawrence, coldly:  "I trust you'll handle
everything exactly as I've instructed."

Back at the hospital Carly and Dr. Alvarez are discussing pregnancy,
birth and death.  Dr. Alvarez asks Carly if she had been charting her
ovulation; she has.  Dr. Alvarez says she'll take some tests to see if
there is a problem.  She wants to test Bo as well, but Carly wants to
wait until she know the results of her own tests.  Dr. Alvarez says they
could have the answer today.

At the Brady pub, Bo and Caroline are telling Kim they're glad she's
better [but she certainly isn't looking better at this point].  Caroline
says perhaps now they can start planning her wedding.  Kim says she and
Phillip have decided on a small ceremony and asks her mom not too look so
disappointed.  Caroline says she wants to have a party for them at the
pub.  Bo leaves and Kim and Caroline continue discussing whether or not
to have a party.  Kim says now she can think of setting a date and starts
to rummage around in her purse.  A key falls out and Caroline asks about
it.  Kim says she doesn't know where it came from.  They decide it looks
like a hotel key and Kim laughs self-consciously and suggests it's
probably from some hotel where she and Phillip have stayed -- after all,
they travel a lot.

Back at the Hortons', Isabella, Jennifer and Alice decide to have the
shower as soon as possible and settle on tomorrow night.  Isabella leaves
and Jennifer tells Alice she can't believe she said the party should be
as soon as possible.  She says she'd be angry if she were Isabella. 
Alice says that Isabella is trying to accept what's happening to her and
tells Jennifer not to rob Isabella of the pleasure of giving the party
for her.

At the hospital, while Lawrence and Vivian are waiting for Nikki, Vivian
confesses that she misses seeing Victor and says she hadn't planned to
care for him.  Lawrence:  "I'm sorry."  Vivian:  "Are you really?"  Nikki
arrives just then saying he's good as new.  Carly comes up and asks how
Nikki is feeling.  Both Nikki and Lawrence are cool toward Carly.

John comes to the pub to talk to Caroline about Brady.  He hopes she'll
help out until he can find a nanny.  Caroline is only too happy to help;
she considers Brady to be her grandson.  John says he's going to have to
be both father and mother to Brady and hopes he can be as good a parent
as Caroline (and Shawn) were to him.

At the hospital Jennifer finds Carly.  Jennifer starts talking about the
shower then goes into the predictable spiel guaranteed to make Carly feel
worse in her current worried state:  Isabella just had a baby and is
going to die; Carly lost a baby; but both women have been so supportive
of Jennifer; etc.  Soon Jack arrives to accompany Jennifer to her
doctor's appointment.

At the Alamain house, Vivian is telling Nikki he can't keep the horse
Victor gave him because Victor isn't in their lives anymore.  Nikki is
unhappy.  Lawrence tells him that sometimes when things don't work out
for grownups they have to go their separate ways.  This doesn't console
Nikki.  He says he wanted a father like his other friends.  Nikki leaves
the room and Vivian mentions a father-son event at school that Nikki
can't attend now that Victor is out of the picture.

Back at the pub John tells Caroline he's sorry to be dumping on her.  She
says it's okay.  Isabella arrives bubbling about the shower.  She sits
down.  John and Caroline go over to the bar.  At the table Isabella is
popping a pill for the pain she's having.

At the hospital, Jack and Jennifer are looking at ultrasound pictures of
their baby.  The doctor says she can tell them the gender, but they say
they don't want to know.  A nurse comes in and says she has the results
Dr. Alvarez was waiting for.  Dr. Alvarez tells Jennifer that her false
labor was just that and that she may actually deliver late -- a few days
or a few weeks!

Bo pays a surprise visit on Carly and plants a kiss "just like old
times."  Carly suggests a tryst later, but Bo says "no" 'cause he's
pulled a double shift.  Dr. Alvarez arrives with the test results and
Carly suggests Bo join them in the lounge.

At the Alamain house, Lawrence asks Nikki if he can accompany him for
father-son night.  Nikki thinks that's just great and says, "I wish you
were my dad, but cousin's count, too, don't they?"  "Yes, cousins count,
too," replies Lawrence.

Back in the hospital lounge Dr. Alvarez tells Carly that there are
serious signs of scar tissue in her fallopian tubes.  *Maybe* she can
still conceive, but maybe not.  Bo says he doesn't care if Carly can have
kids; he loves her and that's all that matters.  Carly doesn't look
happy.

At the Donovan house Kim sees the front page of "The Spectator" and
wonders what all this means.  She receives a phone call from Phillip and
tries to sound "normal" and happy as she tells him that medication has
been the cause of her problems.  She really starts to crack when he tells
her he's coming back to Salem tomorrow, but she says she's thrilled and
that she misses him.  When she hangs up the phone, Kim says, "You, stop." 
Lacey replies, "Don't fight me ... it's time for Lacey ... I'm the only
real friend you've got."
