WARNING!  This first note may cause you to Roll On The Floor laughing...

Right before Swan's Crossing yesterday the station ran a Playmate commercial -
for Swan's Crossing dolls.  They showed a Glory, Sydney, Mila, and Garrett
doll.  There may have been a couple more not named - if so, I would guess
they were Calley and JT.

They showed 5 or 6 yr olds playing Swan's Crossing.

Shari, I assume you will be getting a Garrett doll <grin>

Anyways, the episode opened with Barek rolling into the die shop.
He had been out all night , looked beat up and bushed.  Jimmy was cleaning
up around the shop.  He and Jimmy exchange barbs, and on his way up to
bed, Barek discovers the 'tooth fairy' has left him a present - his
rocks (Calley brought them back last episode, remember?).  A few more
exchanges and Barek went up to bed.  

Meanwhile, on the sub, Capt. Walker is saying good bye to a person
in a wet suit, who he encourages to leave via the escape hatch so no one
notices.  There is a cryptic remark about how despite life's round about
paths, the road still led back to Swan's Crossing.

Next, we see Calley and Sydney still trying to get Sydney's arm loose
from the rocks.  We flash up to the surface, where we see the duck 
periscope, then we flash down to the girls, where we see a burst of bubbles
then we fade to the Swan's Crossing logo and intro song.

When we get back, we find the first on the dock, soaking wet, with Syd
holding the necklace and in shock, babbling about being all alone, not
knowing who she is, not having anyone to help her.  Calley is trying to
make sure there are no broken bones, cuts, etc.  and cannot get thru
to Syd.  Finally, Syd starts calming down and the sub surfaces.  Calley
takes Sydney on board to dry off and talk.

Meanwhile, Jazz cannot sleep so she goes to the Swan early to get set up
for breakfast (early huh?  Calley left the machine shop around 5:30 or so -
it cannot be much earlier than 6am.  And we have been seeing a lot of
folk dropping into the Swan for breakfast lately - seems like that isn't
all THAT early).  On her way, she encounters someone sleeping on
a park bench, under a newspaper.  When she wakes him, she begins to
talk to this stranger.  He is tall, has a very strange accent (from
Milwalkee he says...)  and has some bright green Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtle bandaids on his totally bald head.... yes, it's baldy #1!!

They talk, almost flirting, and Jazz invites him in for some of her
pancakes (which Baldy mentions are as light as air).  She asks him
what he is doing in SC and he responds that he is looking for a professor
of his - a Professor Van.  She doesn't know him, but promises to ask
around.

Calley and her dad have a warm moment.  Her dad promises that he won't leave
her alone like that again.  He does have to run off to do an errand in
town, but tells Calley that when he gets back, he has a lot to discuss
with her.  But right now, she has someone she has to help herself.
Syd tells Calley all about Garrett and his torture.  Calley is convinced
that Garrett is NOT doing all of this to get Mila, but to hurt Syd for
hurting him.  She is also convinced that Syd was down at the docks to
commit suicide.  Calley promises to help Syd get to the bottom of the
problem.  

Mila talks Garrett into taking her to Swan's for breakfast.  She wants
to sit and watch him compose a new poem for her .... you should have
SEEN his face!  Now he is stuck.  Mila is hung up on his alter ego that
Syd created, not on him.  And he is going to have to attempt to be
the sensitive poet if he is going to keep Mila interested.  When they
arrive at Swan's, Jazz asks them if they know a Professor Van (knowing
how much JT eats, I assume it will not be long until he arrives and
is asked the same question - anyone want to bet he loses his appetite?).

Finally, we flash back to the sub.  Calley is promising to help Syd prove
that the birth certificate that Garrett has is a fake.  And she makes Syd
climb out on deck of the sub and shout that she really is Sydney Rutledge.
She convinces Syd also to
