Ted and Katrina are playing Scrabble; so far the words are nickel, nuptial,
wedding and marrage (sic).  Angela (still in her bumpkin persona) comes in
with an urgent question--does Ted have a birthmark on his behind?  Katrina
wonders why Angela is so interested in Ted's anatomy.  She also comments that
the birthmark is really there and wonders how Angela knows about it.  Ted
quickly says that Angela must have seen a picture from one of Suzanne's photo
shoots in which he was wearing bikini pants.  Angela observes that it's pretty
weird that one of the first things she remembers would be Ted's butt.  Ted,
very nervous, says it's just one of those things.  After Angela leaves, Katrina
goes to the scrabble board and makes the work "liar".  She asks Ted point-
blank if there ever was anything between him and Angela.  He plays hurt.
Katrina is dubious about the photo story--she's never noticed the birthmark
in any of Suzanne's photos.  Ted tries to wriggle out but gets himself
deeper in.  Finally, Ted says, fine--he and Angela have been having a mad,
passionate affair for 2, 3, 5 weeks--is Katrina satisfied now?  Katrina
doesn't know what to make of this.  He goes on about how they did it every
which way--handcuffed, unhandcuffed, on the table in the Capwell board room.
He tells her how the mark on his neck is a hickey and that he got into the
accident because he was paying attention to Angela instead of the road.  OK,
I get it, Katrina says--I'm being ridiculous.  She says she's never been
petty and jealous before and asks him to forgive her for accusing him.  Ted
looks as if he's gotten a repreive from the gas chamber.  He tells her to
forget about it and about Angela.  He tells her to think about her next
Scrabble word while he gets them something to eat.  Later, Angela tells Ted
all she can remember from before is making love to him--imagination, he tells
her.  Angela wonders if she had any friends--if so, where are they now?
She says Ted is the only one she feels close to.  She hopes she wasn't as
lonely before as she feels now.

Julia finds Mason tossing away his old tight underwear in favor of boxer
shorts.  Evidently tight underwear can make sperm sleepy.  Later, we see
Mason jogging in place.  He says he'll try anything.  Julia tells him to
stand on his head for 30 or 40 minutes.  He gets into position, then Julia
tells him the book says that he has to be naked.  Mason comes on to her,
and she reminds him that Dr. Zieman told them to abstain for a week.  He
tells her that her parading around in her negligee is like waving a pizza
at the nose of a starving man.  She says she's going to sleep in the guest
room.  Mason says no way--he doesn't want to sleep alone.  Julia says he's
forcing her to do something base and common; she leaves the room.  When she
comes back, she looks awful--hair in curlers, cream all over her face.  Mason
says he's turned on by what's underneath all that.  Katrina comes by and
confesses that she's done a terrible thing--accused Ted of cheating on her.
Mason says what an upstanding citizen Ted is.  After Katrina leaves, Julia
asks Mason who Ted had an affair with.  Mason doesn't want to talk about it,
but he does admit that Ted discussed it with him.

BJ tells Warren that she used to think the light at the end of the tunnel was
an oncoming train until now; she now feels like it just may be sunshine.  Then
Connor comes by with more questions about Frank's death.  He asks BJ whose
idea it was for Cruz and BJ to go out to the mesa, she says it was her idea.
She wanted to see if she would feel anything there, but she felt nothing.
He asks how they knew what spot to go to.  BJ says it was in all the papers;
Connor says no, it wasn't.  He asks if Cruz said anything about having been
there before.  She says no, and if he had been there he would have said so.
BJ asks if all these questions mean that Connor knows Sawyer didn't kill
Frank.  Connor says that before they withdraw the indictment against Sawyer
they need someone else to pin it on.  After Connor leaves, Warren asks BJ
why she didn't tell him about her trip to the mesa.  Seh says she didn't
really want to think about it.  Was it bad, Warren asks.  No, BJ replies, not
bad or good--just nothing.  Warren says he finds it hard to believe that she'd
fail to tell him something so important.  She says she didn't want him to
know how unfeeling she is.  She's afraid he'd hate her if he knew her true
nature.  He says he could never hate her--he admires her.  BJ says that if
she's so great, why doesn't he love her.  Warren looks taken aback.  BJ says
she's sorry, and that she doesn't expect anyone to ever love her, after the
way Frank had ruined her.  She'd rater have Warren just heave her and not
prolong the agony.  Warren says he's here for the duration and asks her to
tell him about what she did with Frank, if she wants to.

BJ relates how Frank used to draw bubble baths for her, then say "All ready
for you"--that was like their signal.  His favorite fragrance was lily-
of-the-valley because it was pure, like her.  She says that as soon as she
smelled that, she'd take herself to a place that lilies-of-the-valley really
grew, and no one laid their hands on her.  When she looked in Frank's eyes,
like he waited for her to do, she didn't really see him.  She wouldn't come
back until he was finished.  Warren says he wishes Frank were alive so that
he could kill him.  BJ tells him she understands if he doesn't want to be
around someone so bad and dirty.  Warren tells BJ he treasures her more now
than ever.  Despite everything, she had come through pure--Frank never really
touched her because she kept the real BJ hidden away safely.  She was still
innocent.  Later, as BJ is lying in bed to go to sleep, she is holding
Rachel Ann.  Warren tells her she treasures Rachel Ann because she deserves
it--just like BJ does.  BJ tells him he makes her feel pure inside; he tells
her it's because that's the way she is.

Kelly pleads with Cruz to tell her he's not sevious about taking the fall for
BJ--no jury would convict her.  Cruz says it's not about that.  She's blocked
out the memory because she can't handle it.  He's afraid that having her
confront the memory permaturely by being arrested would destroy her--at least
he can buy her some time this way.  Kelly says there has to be another way.
Cruz says he doesn't see it.  She tells him that no one will believe him.
Cruz says he'll make them believe--and he needs Kelly to back up his story
that he left the hospital that night.  When Connor comes asking about whether
he left, she should pretend to be reluctant to talk about it.  She says no
way--she's not going to help him throw away his life.  She tells him he's
underestimating BJ.  Maybe she'll deal with it and go on with her life.
Cruz says that if she could handle it, she wouldn't have blocked it out.
Then Kelly asks what Chip and Adriana are supposed to do with no mother and
a father in jail for a murder he didn't commit--and all for a child he only
recently knew he had.  He says it won't be for very long, but Kelly says he
doesn't know how long it will take for BJ to remember.  Kelly asks how he
can do this to them as a couple.  He says that if BJ is destroyed, he will
be too.  Kelly continues to try to talk Cruzout of it.  Cruz says he couldn't
prevent Frank from ruining BJ's childhood, but he isn't going to stand by
and let him torment her from beyond the grave.  Kelly asks him if he has a
martyr complex.  No, he says--a parent complex.  He's trying to save his
child--something she can't understand.  [Ouch!]  Naturally, Kelly is insulted.
Cruz compounds the insult by telling her she's more worried about herself
than about Chip and Adriana.  [Double ouch!!]  As Cruz walks out the door,
Kelly throws something at it--just then, Connor walks in.  He asks Kelly if
lies are destroying her relationship with Cruz.  She asks him to leave.  He
tells her the truth will come out sooner or later, but things will go better
for her and Cruz if it's sooner.

Cruz comes back and apologizes.  He says he's made up his mind to take the
fall--now it's up to her to decide what to do.  She says he's not giving her
much of a choice.  She tells him that together they might think of another
way to help BJ.  He says he's not going to let BJ down again, he's going to
protect her.  Kelly says she'll find a way to stop him.  Cruz says she won't
because, deep down, she know he's right.

Connor:  "I need to keep an eye on Micah if I'm going to find Sawyer, but
the problem is Jodie and Reese.  They keep getting in the way.  I mean,
what is their problem--are they cops, or a law unto themselves?  Regardless,
now that the phone is tapped it's only a matter of time until I get Sawyer."
