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

[A]    Galen loses the race for D.A. (what? there was a doubt??);
       the state almost bites on Carter's fake catatonia.

[B]    The Mack Daddy arrives in Budapest.

[C]    Turbo and Angel prepare to "get it on".

[D]    Erica and Dimitri play dress-up in his Budapest estate.
       [That's right, folks: Igor is a _Count_. :)]

       Music Videos
       of the Week:   "Harvest Moon" --- Neil Young
       -----------     Maximum cool; superbly simple song. This and "Rockin'
                       In The Free World" are the A & B sides of Young's
                       career, IMO. Break out all your old CSN&Y tapes in
                       salute.   ps   Acker - major babes in a Neil Young
                                      video??! Check it. :)

                      "Love Can Move Mountains" --- Celine Dion
                       She got my attention w/"B&B". Now she's talkin' to me.

                      "Now & Forever" --- Carole King
                       Curious effort; CK's in semi-torch mode. The package
                       is still together, the voice still a signature.

            --------------    Excerpts From The Forbidden Draft




Storyline [D]:
-------------
   Dimitri, in full Napoleonic costume, brainslaps Erica [in white, 
elaborate "Josephine"-like garb supplied for the evening by "the Count"] 
when he discloses that the enormous Budapest estate donated for her press 
conference is actually his [make that _half_ his ;)], bestowed on his 
grandfather by the Emperor for services rendered. [I think we're talkin' 
Kong-bucks in the Marick family, people] 
   E, playing the scenario like a master marlin fisher, starts to leave in 
a hissy fit. Declareth Igor: "I left Angelique!"  Stops her dead in her 
tracks. E: "...better late than never.". :)  Mimi-reconciliation follows.
Dimitri begs to be let back into her life, then drops the bomb:
                     * "Will you marry me?" *

   Um, I think she's heard that before...like, seven times, before? :)

   MATRIMONY-HANGER!



Storylines [B,C]:
----------------

   Ed deplanes and arrives chez Budapest hotel lobby just as an extremely 
p.o.'ed Angel (back in PV in the good company of Brooke and Jack) is 
leaving a message for E with the front desk clerk. He transports upstairs 
[what? to a bathroom?], and comes backdown in a trenchcoat, passing himself 
off as E's assistant in order to get the message. The clerk, eating up Ed's 
act like Cheeze Whiz, inadvertently drops E's location. Ed goes off in a 
corner and Flashbacks to telling Brooke about how he, Dim and Angel used to 
re-enact the Maricks' escape from the Nazis [the Budapest estate is where 
Edmund was conceived]. Ed snaps back to real-time and goes out and gets 
some modest accomodations, where the proprietress just happens to know a 
lot about the Maricks' Budapest history.

   Back in the States, Air Witch tracks down Angel at Jack's, bearing a box 
of Flora's stuff for Ed. The Lique-ster goes upside her mom's head for 
setting Ed on Igor's trail: "If he destroys his brother, he destroys 
himself." 
   Jack goes "tag-team", and brainslaps Helga for messing up Angel's life 
with her constant interference. A.W. counters w/a description of Turbo's 
"sordid past with that...KANE woman", charging conspiracy to bust up 
Dimitri's marriage. Jack rejects the gambit w/ a threat of 
institutionalization, and kicks her dramatic a** out of the room.
                            [applause :)] 
   Angelique (to Jack): "Don't apologize...just hold me."

   Woooo! Major spit-swapping follows! We're talkin Whappa City!



Storyline [A]:
-------------

   Tweety (looking good in a grey slacks and a grey/purple shirt), Mahatma, 
Porkchop, Galen and Blue Jeans are all chez Dillon when Gal-O gets the bad 
news: zip on the District Attorney's office. Frye and Reed transport in 
with additional bad news: Carter may get off on a technical. Seems the 
state's physicians bit on his "catatonia" act. Galen announces that the 
only way the whole thing will ever end is if "someone shoots him - this 
time I'm going to win!" and storms out of the penthouse. [Get that woman 
some carbohydrates! Quick!] BJ and Trevor follow.

   Chez hospital, Galen, Trevor and Steve bop in just as the physicians and 
attorneys get into a huge argument over whether to submit Carter to more 
detailed tests before confirming a diagnosis of true catatonia. They agree 
to do so, and Galen relates CJ's past history ("couldn't get it up without 
beating on her"). When she gets to the part about "not having had a single 
sexual experience that was satisfying", Carter jumps out of the bed 
yelling, "You lying _BITCH_!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!" 

     Gotcha. :)

FADE IN:
ERICA'S BUDAPEST HOTEL ROOM

   Erica is trying not to succumb to Dimitri's tender pleas to restart
   their relationship.


                                DIMITRI
                         (reaching towards her)
                               Erica, I...

                                 ERICA
                        (unfastening her jacket)
                           Don't talk, Dimitri.
   
   She flings it in his face. He's momentarily astonished, but recovers 
   quickly.

                                DIMITRI
                           (big grin on face)
                          Why, you little...(!)

                                 ERICA
                         Better read it, first.

                                DIMITRI
                            _READ_ it??!
                               (pause)

                              Valentino.

                                 ERICA
                           No, fool; LOWER!

   Dimitri holds her jacket at arm's length, focuses, and begins reading
   a small square of paper taped to the inside of its back.

                                DIMITRI
                           (reading aloud)
        "I, Dimitri Marick, being of reasonably sound mind and body,
         do hereby reinstitute sexual relations with one Erica Kane,
         under the following provisions. One..."
   
   As Erica begins to take off her slip, we 


CUT TO:
JACK'S PINE VALLEY HOTEL APARTMENT

   Angelique has stopped by early in the am, barely able to contain her
   feelings for Jackson, who is still in his bathrobe (open from chest to 
   waist).

 
                              ANGELIQUE
                      (staring at Jack's chest)
                              Jack, I...

                                JACK
                           (moves closer)
           So Joe Martin tells me you're completely recovered?

                              ANGELIQUE
                              (smiling)
            Yup. I even have his ok to start riding again.

   Jack sweeps her up into his arms, plops her onto the bed vigorously,
   rips open his bathrobe and jumps into the air toward her.

                                JACK
                       (maniacal look on face)

                        WEEEEEEEE-HAWWWWWWWW!

   Jack is frozen in mid-air and we


CUT TO:
WILDWIND 1ST FLOOR STUDY

   Brooke is trying to get Edmund to abort his trip to Budapest, and to 
   forget about his blood-ties to Dimitri.


                               BROOKE
                Damn it, Edmund, I'm not going to let
                you throw your life away like this!

                               EDMUND
                   Brooke, I MUST go to Budapest!


WAIST-HIGH TWO-SHOT

   They stare at each other, no movement, but we suddenly hear an unzipping
   sound, and Brooke drops down rapidly off-camera.

CLOSE-UP
 
                               EDMUND
                   (big smile on face, singing,
                    accompanied by J. Brown
                    background theme)

                          "I feel good!"


                              BROOKE
                           (Off Camera)
                   "Mmmmmmph, hmmmmmmmph mmmph!"

   Subtitles pop up at the bottom of the screen, translating Brooke's
   comment:  "I knew that you would, now!"


CUT TO:
BUDAPEST HOTEL ROOM

   Dimitri has Erica's jacket draped on his right arm, her blouse over his
   shoulder, and is reading from one of her shoes. Erica is tapping her
   bare feet impatiently.

                              DIMITRI
                             (intent)
         "Forty-three: Whereupon pursuent to the party of the
          first part, except in the event of an actual hunting
          party at the lodge..."

   As Erica begins to unfasten her bra, we


CUT TO:
JACK'S HOTEL ROOM

   Angelique is bucking up and down wildly on an off-camera Jack,
   scat-singing the theme to Bonanza.


                              ANGELIQUE
              ...Da-da-da-DA-da-da-DAAAAAA-DAAAAAAAA!

                                JACK
                            (Off Camera)
  
                            "Wil-burrrr!"


CUT TO:
WILDWIND STUDY

   Ed, shirt off, is holding a dishelved, but blissful, Brooke in his arms.

                               BROOKE
                           (very softly)
                           Oh, Edmund...

   Subtitle at bottom of screen:
   Boy, howdy! Them Pulitzer Prize winners is _goooooood_ eatin'!


                               EDMUND
                          Who is Buda Pest?

                               BROOKE
                       Let's go home, darling.

                               EDMUND
                        Now THAT I remember!

   They walk out of Wildwind hand-in-hand, never looking back.


CUT TO:
BUDAPEST HOTEL ROOM

   Dimitri has Erica's jacket and skirt on, her panties on top of his head,  
   and her bra around his eyes, goggle-like.

WAIST-HIGH SHOT

   Erica is standing with her arms crossed around her chest, seemingly nude. 

                               DIMITRI
                     (motionless; hands at side,
                      reading aloud from the
                      inside of the bra cups)

           "...and would forfeit newly acquired stock both in
            Enchantement _AND_ the Jet Stream Oven concerns..."

CUT TO:

   Angelique and Jack sitting up in bed (covered w/sheets), basking in the 
   afterglow. Angel lights up a fat Cuban cigar, and turns towards Jack
   with a wickedly sly grin on her face.


                              ANGELIQUE
                             Dimitri who?


CUT TO:
WILDWIND STUDY

   Helga is watching CNN's Style in the dimly lit room. Suddenly, Dimitri
   appears on a runway, led by fashion designer Thierry Mugler. Dimitri
   is still wearing Erica's pumps, skirt and jacket. He has polka-dot
   panties on his head, and a cone-bra covering his eyes in goggle-fashion.


                                HELGA
                      (eyebrow arched, looking
                       off into the distance)

                       ...that...KANE woman!

   The camera pans up to a long shot, pausing on Helga alone in
   the near-dark room, the stark tv light playing off her silhouette,
   the set blaring thunderous applause from the fashion show. 


                                                                FADE OUT
