First, the bad news - I was supposed to write the update for last 
Wednesday, December 23.  Unfortunately, I've been having trouble
with my cable system and ended up taping what looks like ghosts 
running through snow instead of GL.  The good news is that I was 
able to work around that problem, so you'll still get today's and 
tomorrow's updates.  

For those of us who thought it was more important to spend time 
with our families over the past week than to watch GL, the joke's
on us.  It looks like there was quite a development in the AC-
Harley storyline, because today's show started off with a shot of
the two of them snuggling up together and munching on pizza!  I
hope someone can fill us in on that.  

But getting on with the update, Harley gets up because she has to 
get ready for work.  As soon as she is out of the room, AC calls 
Spinner and asks her to bring over their mother's engagement ring.

At the diner, Hamp confronts Kat as to why she didn't tell him that
David had taken a room at the same boarding house that she's living
at.  He threatens to call David's probation officer to rat on him. 
David tells him that he is only doing that because of Kat, not 
because he is truly concerned about David violating his probation. 
Hamp protests that Gilly would be furious if she knew about it, 
but David says she already knows and even gave him the money to
do it.

Vanessa and Henry are in a tizzy at their house because they are 
afraid that Roger knows the truth and will tell Jenna.  Henry 
wants to go check up on Jenna, but Vanessa tries to talk him 
out of it.  He goes anyway.

In another wing of the house, Jenna accuses Roger of lying about 
Henry not being her father.  He shows her the proof, but she throws
it in the air and tries to leave.  He forces her to sit down and 
look at it and tells her about Brandon stealing her father's 
invention.  Jenna thinks that Roger is trying to con her.  Henry 
starts knocking on the French doors and yelling _Are you alright,
Jenna?_  Roger comes out tells him that they are having a lover's 
quarrel.  Henry is still worried, but Roger and Jenna assure him
that everything is alright.  He leaves.  Jenna claims that Henry's
concern for her is proof that he is her father.  Roger challenges 
her to show Henry the proof to see how he reacts.  Jenna says no,
but that she will prove that Roger is wrong.

Ross and Blake are at her place.  He is tense because now that he 
is trying to re-establish his private practice, his old clients 
are avoiding him.  Blake offers to get some hockey tickets to 
help kind of bribe some old clients into being friendly with him, 
and tries to reassure him that his career will be alright.  He 
informs her that he needs to go see Holly about some business. 
She starts to argue, but Michelle pops in asking for help with 
a school project.  Ross takes advantage of the interruption and 
leaves.  Michelle asks Blake how Ed treated her when she was a 
kid.  Blake says that he made her feel very loved.  She tells
Michelle a story about how she was hurt because she didn't get
invited to a birthday party, so Ed took a whole day off just to
take her to the zoo and out to dinner.  She tells Michelle that
people appreciate their parents more once they grow up.  Well...
usually.

Spinner arrives at the firehouse, and pesters AC for details 
before she'll give him the ring.  AC asks if she approves.  
Spinner assures him that their mother wanted him to have the ring
and that she would have been very happy to have Harley as a 
daughter-in-law.  Harley comes back in and is ready to rush off 
to work.  AC makes a crack about it being _tough being married 
to a cop_.  Harley catches the _married_ part, but AC claims he 
meant _living with a cop_.  Harley has Spinner accompany her to 
the door and asks her what AC is up to.  Spinner won't say, but 
suggests that Harley try to get home early from work.  Spinner 
continues chatting with AC.  She mentions that he must think 
she's grown up because he didn't get upset when she told him 
that she and Dylan were going to New York together.  She starts 
to leave, but AC stops her so her can show her a stupid yo-yo 
trick, a bit of juggling, and his latest trick - walking!

Holly is in her office trying to plow through a backlog of work. 
Gilly comes in to ask her about some other work)related things.
Holly suggests that Roger should handle some of her work.  Gilly 
pressures her to make some decisions on some matters that need to 
be handled *today*, but Holly refuses because she is too frazzled 
to think.  Gill offers to take over some of her work for awhile 
so that Holly can recover from being so stressed out.  Just then, 
Hamp calls and demands to see Gilly right away.  Holly tells her 
the work can wait and that she should go to Hamp, so she does.  
Ross comes in and accuses her of using her influence to make it 
hard for him to re)establish his practice.  She says she hasn't 
and sarcastically offers to send clients his way.  He calms down,
then asks how she is because she seems a little out of it.  A 
tear rolls down her cheek, and she tells him to leave.

Back at the diner, Hamp tells Kat that David is just using her. 
David starts to argue with him, so Hamp shoves him.  Just then,
Gilly walks in.  She and Kat pry the boys apart.  Gill is furious
and orders David to leave.  Hamp accuses her of lying to him 
about David moving out.  Gilly claims that she meant to tell him 
but things got too crazy at work for her to have time to.  Hamp
kvetches that work is more important to her than he is.  David 
pipes in that he cleared the situation with his probation officer
*before* he moved in.  Gill begs Hamp to try to understand why 
work is so important right now and leaves.  He mutters to himself
that it is ruining their marriage.

Dylan and HB are also at the diner discussing Billy and his
attitude toward Spinner.  It comes out that Dylan is afraid 
that he doesn't measure up to his dad, but HB tells him that 
the only advantage that Billy has over Dylan is the experience 
comes with time.

Ross returns to Blake's, and they discuss his meeting with Holly. 
Ross claims that all of the fight has gone out of Holly, but 
Blake thinks that Holly is just trying to manipulate him again.
She changes the subject to the lack of privacy she has living 
so close to the Bauers.  She thinks she ought to move out, 
but Ross suggests that she just needs to sets some rules with 
Michelle about visiting her.  Blake is bummed that Ross didn't 
notice the hint.  

Harley pops by the diner to pick up some dinner for her and AC.
She tries to find out from Dylan what AC is planning, but he 
hadn't even heard that AC can walk again.

Gilly returns to the office to find a note from Holly asking her 
to call Holly at home about taking care of some of her work for 
her while she takes time off.  Gill sits down at Holly's desk and
looks like she is trying it on for size.

Back at the firehouse, AC is showing Xyla the ring.  Xyla licks 
it, so he takes it to the sink to wash it off.  He get startled 
by Harley coming home and accidentally drops the ring down 
the drain.  

Jenna and Roger return to the room where Henry and Van are.  Henry 
makes a toast to his family.  Jenna asks him to tell her what her 
mother was like.  He says some general things about her 
personality, but Jenna presses him for more detail.  Then he tells
her that she has eyes just like her mum's.  Jenna gets upset.  It 
seems that Mummy's eyes were brown, not like hers at all.  She
asks Henry if he is her father.
