Finally, no excuses this week!  Just 60 minutes of update, coming right up...

At the Mathis', Sophia and CC are discussing Andi and Ken's affair when Ken
walks in and demands to know what they're talking about.  Sophia asks CC to
leave so she and Ken can discuss things privately.  CC tells her she deserves
better and he leaves.  Ken asks what lies CC has been filling her head with.
She tells him she heard this directly from Andi.  Ken claims not to know
what Andi could have told Sophia.  Sophia tells him to quit playing dumb--
she knows Andi and Ken were lovers.  CC's surveillance from Hong Kong backs
up Andi's claim.  Ken admits that he and Andi were involved, but he claims
that she had been obsessed with him.  Then why did Ken let her into their
home and office, Sophia asks--she feels totally humiliated.  Ken points out
that Sophia hired Andi.  Then he claims that Andi called him the night before
he went to Hong Kong, lonely and desparate.  He inadvertently let slip that
he was going to Hong Kong and was shocked that she followed him.  Once there,
he claims to have told her to get out of his life because he loves Sophia.
He begs Sophia to believe him.  He tells her that Andi had promised not to
tell Sophia about their past relationship if he'd let her continue to work
at Armonti, so, when it appeared that Andi meant no harm, he decided to keep
quiet.  CC calls to check on Sophia; she says she's OK.  He tells her that
Ken is a con man.  Ken pledges his love and promises that he'd never do
anything to hurt her.  She's not sure what to think.  She wonders if Ken loves
her or just wants her money.  Ken points out that *she* asked *him* to marry
her and offered him partnership in Armonti.  He offers to gives her back the
power of attorney she signed over to him if it will save their marriage.
Then he asks if she wants to go on a cruise with him--it was supposed to be
a surprise, but it seemed like a good idea to tell her now.  He booked them
on a cruise to the Mediterranean right after Ted's wedding.  A nice, romantic
cruise--where no one will ever find them.  Sophia finally melts into his arms.

In the hospital, Rafe confronts Lisa on the phone about his dream (false
priest marrying them, empty cradle).  He doesn't get anywhere.  Lilly, who has
been just outside, asks Rafe if he thinks there's anything to his dream.  He
doesn't know.  He wonders what he's done to his life and to his relationship
with Lilly.  He tells her he has a feeling his dream is true.  Giovanni walks
in and Rafe tells him to go get his doctor--he wants to be released right
away.  He calls Lisa and tells her he's coming home and they're going to
have it out.  Giovanni comes back and says the doctor is on his way.  Rafe
tells him he has a feeling that Giovanni knows what Lisa is hiding.  Later
on, Giovanni gives Rafe a ride home.  The phone is off the hook and Lisa isn't
there.  Rafe demands to know what Lisa told him.  Giovanni tells Rafe he can't
reveal anything Lisa told him in confidence.  "You just did", Rafe replies.

At the Capwells', no one suspects that Samantha and Gracie's wedding "gift"
is, in fact, the box of wedding invitations.  The box sits among the other
gifts.  Ted is still walking with a cane, but he finally has his cast off.
Ted and Gina sample Chef Pierre's wedding menu as Rosa looks on.  The first
of Pierre's master creations are some appetizers, various mushroom dishes,
including his specialty.  Gina is pleased until she hears that the same
ones were used at another recent wedding.  She wonders if he can do something
a little different.  He seether.  Then they sample the entree--honey glazed
turkey.  Rosa observes that it is overcooked and GIna agrees--besides, between
Thanksgiving and Christmas everyone's had their fill of Turkey.  "Not the
way I prepare it", fumes Pierre.  They discuss other birds; Ted points out
that, as far as he and Lilly are concerned, hamburgers and hot dogs are fine.
Pierre gets more and more angry.  Gina suggests a seafood course.  Pierre
whips up some red snapper.  Ted says it's fine, but Gina thinks it's too
ordinary.  Mason comes in with Samantha and Channing and asks for peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches in French (I know that because he translated
afterwards).  Rosa tells Pierre to get out of her way, she needs her kitchen
back.  He fumes some more.  Ted suggests peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for
the wedding.  CC comes by as Mason and co. are leaving.  Finally, Pierre
brings out the piece de resistance--dessert.  For once, Gina doesn't criticize
it directly, but she says she had something else in mind--a wedding cake.
Rather than two dessert courses, she visualized a wedding cake and a sweets
table (fruit, chocolates, etc.).  Finally, Pierre takes the dessert plate and
dumps it on Gina's head.  He tells her to take her wedding and "shove it where
the sun does not shine".  As he is gathering his things, CC, trying hard not
to laugh, thanks Pierre for *everything*.  Lilly comes in and wonders what
she's missed.

In the living room, Mason is worried that Samantha and Channing are going to
mess up the couch with their sandwiches, so he tells them to go to Sami's
room.  On the way up the stairs, we hear her say, "Do you want to see a pretty
wedding dress?"  Predictably, Sami puts a large purple stain on the dress.
Mason, Ted, and CC decide to go out for a pre-backelor party.  Meanwhile,
Samantha and Channing decide to color on Lilly's dress.

BJ and Warren are at the newspaper office.  They are discussing planting their
Christmas tree in their back yard after they're married when a woman, Donna,
comes to the door.  She is a movie producer.  During the course of the
conversation, BJ is told that the contract she signed for the book deal
also included film rights, which Donna has purchased.  Warren wonders why
his lawyer missed it.  He gets a phone call that takes him out of the office
for a while; he expects Donna to be gone when he gets back.  Donna apologizes
for causing a problem.  BJ explains that Warren is upset because he feels
like they were taken advantage of and he doesn't want BJ to be exploited.
Donna explains that she herself is an incest survivor and that this movie
would give her a chance to tell her own story as well as BJ's, and help a lot
of other incest survivors.  BJ softens.  Donna explains that her movie rights
expire in 6 months, so it's in BJ's best interests to work with Donna rather
than someone else who may try to exploit her.  BJ asks who will write the
script.  Donna wants her to write it.  BJ says she'll be too busy writing her
book; she suggests Warren.  Donna says she'll see what she can do.  Warren
calls and tells BJ the contract is legit.  He asks if she told Donna no.
BJ says she told Donna exactly how she felt.  Later, BJ prepares a romantic
dinner for WArren at the newspaper office.  Warren wonders if there's news
he's not going to like.  BJ nods.  "You told her you'd do the movie."  BJ
looks at him expectantly.

Happy new year and see you in '93--Ilene
