Billy arrives at Cross Creek and Vanessa is glad to see him.  She tells Billy
that she doesn't love Fletcher.  I love you Billy.  A stewardess on the
airplane startles Billy out of his daydream by telling him to put his seat belt
on as they are getting ready to land at Tulsa.

Meanwhile at Cross Creek, Vanessa and little Bill are talking.  He asks her
what did you want to tell me?  Vanessa says I was going to wait until your dad
arrived but its about Fletcher.  Bill says I don't like Fletcher.  Van asks
why?  He's always butting in and he's not my father.  Van asks him what about
Nadine.  She acts like your mom sometime so what is the difference between her
and Fletcher?  Bill answers she doesn't tell me what to do and she buys me
stuff.  (honest answer coming from a kid)  Van tells him she didn't know he
could be bought and she doesn't understand.  Bill starts talking about all the
times the three of them (bill, Van and BIlly) came to Cross Creek and how much
fun they had.  Van tells him I want to talk to you about Fletcher.  Just then
Billy comes in the door and bill rushes over to see him.  He tells his dad how
happy he is that he is here now and rushes off to him room to get a arrowhead
the he found by the creek.  Van tells Billy she was getting ready to tell Bill
about her and Fletcher.  Billy responds by saying I'm thinking of divorcing
Nadine.

Nick and Fletcher are working on one of Nick's stories.  The start discussing
Alexandra and Nick tells him she won't tell me anything about the land deal.  I
even seen a personal file on her desk and she hid it from me. (Now wait a
minute.  This is Alexandra's personal property.  What gives Nick the right to
look into this?  The way he is talking is like he has every right to know and
see everything.)  Nick says I know she is hiding something from me.  I've been
researching Roger's finances and he didn't have the millions to buy the land
from Alex.  Now he is buying a new car and equipment for the station.  Fletcher
tells him that Roger was bankrupt after the divorce.  Nadine barges in and
wants to speak with Fletcher.  Nick leaves and she tells Fletch that Billy came
over last night to see me but it was just because he was upset about you going
to ask Vanessa to marry you.  He is on his way to Cross Creek now and who knows
he probably will ask Vanessa to marry him.  Fletcher is floored by this news. 
She goes on how Fletcher needs to go to Cross Creek right now.  Fletcher says
the hell I will.  I'm tired of your insecurities Nadine.  Nadine says if I
could have just gotten Billy in bed last night.  Whatever mistakes I made out
of bed Billy always forgave me in bed.  If I can't get him that way I won't be
able to.  Fletcher shakes his head and says that doesn't say much for your
relationship.  Anyway, Vanessa told me she loves me and I believe her.  Nadine
says I will do whatever it takes beg, borrow, steal whatever to hold on to
Billy.

Alexandra and Maureen walk into Alexandra's study at home.  Alex thanks her for
helping bring over Alex's personal papers from Spaulding.  Alex puts them in
her safe and Mo sees one marked real estate.  She asks Alex why did you sell
that land to Roger?  Alex says I'm so tired of everyone asking me that
question.  It isn't anyone's business.  Alan-Michael is outside the door
listening to them.  Alex locks the safe and tells Mo that she can now give Nick
permission to look at any files at Spaulding.  Eleni comes up behind AM and
startles him.  She asks what are you doing?  Eveasdropping?  AM says of course
not.  I was going to tell Aunt Alex that we invited Nick for dinner tonight and
I was uh just waiting for the right moment.  Eleni says lets tell her now and
they walk in.  They tell Alex that Nick is coming for dinner tonight and Eleni
is cooking something Greek.  Alex is suprised that Nick is coming since he
always declined before.  She is happy and Mo tells AM she is proud of him for
getting over his jealously of Nick.  The women go to the kitchen and AM opens
the safe and gets the files out.  He puts the envelope that Roger gave him
inside and smiles.  He then closes the safe.  Mo comes back in a little later
and AM keeps questioning her about when is Vanessa returning, etc..  Mo finally
tells him to stop pushing her and Eleni walks in and hears this.  The phone
rings and Eleni answers.  It's Roger calling for Alex.  The doorbell rings and
AM gets it.  It's Nick.  AM makes a comment to him about buttering Alex up
before dinner and maybe she will tell you about the land deal.  Nick says
that's not the reason I came over tonight.  AM asks are you all bonding?  Nick
says no but its about time I got to know her better.  Meanwhile Alex tells
Roger it is none of your concern Roger and slams down the phone.  She turns
around and sees Nick who is looking at her.  Mo starts to leave and Alex asks
her to stay for dinner.  Mo declines saying this is family.  Nick says stay
unless my mother is going to keep you buried in work.  Alex is happy and said
you said mother.  No matter what you say Nick you are starting to accept it
aren't you? AM is looking very unhappy.  Nick tells her not to make a big deal
out of it.  It just slipped out.  Alex says now we have a reason to celebrate.
Eleni comes in and says Mrs. Taggart just called and Mr. Taggart has had a mild
heart attack.  He will be fine but is in the hospital and will be there for a
while.  Alex says of course.  AM says he was working on some major deal and Mo
says I better call Vanessa to come back.  AM smiles.

Back to Cross Creek, Vanessa has fixed Billy a sandwiche just the way he likes
it.  Billy asks her what do you think about me divorcing Nadine?  She says its
none of my concern but I would like for you not to tell Bill yet.  I want him
to get use to me and Fletcher first.  Billy says its not fair to string Nadine
along.  I'm positive she isn't the woman for me.  Van says she loves you.  She
deserves another chance.  Billy says I'm tired of her games and the way she
gave your name to that sleazy reporter.  I can't stand for you to be hurt
Vanessa.  Mo calls then with news about Glen Taggart.  Vanessa tells her I'll
be on my way back on the next flight.  Billy tells her next one is at 7:00.  Mo
is suprised to hear Billy is there.  Van will explain to her later.  Van hangs
up and tells Billy I will have to tell Bill first thing when he gets back. 
(Billy and bill are staying at Cross Creek for a few days)  VAn means telling
Bill when he gets back to Springfield.)  Van says thanks for taking this time
to be with Bill.  Billy says I always have time for the people I love.  VAn
looks uncomfortable and goes upstairs to pack.  She comes down later and tells
Billy you are a extradionary dad.  Billy says you are a extradionary woman. 
Billy asks her if Fletcher is going to be waiting on her.  Van says I'm sorry
but its none of your business and she leaves as Billy watches her. 

Fletcher is on the phone to Ben who is away at camp (lets hope he stays there). 
Henry stops by and Fletcher shows him the ring he got for Vanessa.  HEnry is
delighted.

Bridget goes to Nadine's house.  She tells her that her mom wrote her and wants
her to come home and take care of the kids until school starts.  I don't want
to go.  I've spent my entire life raising my little brothers/sisters.  Nadine
says I wish I could help you.  Bridget says you can.  I want to find the father
of my baby but I can't tell you his name. I don't have any money to hire a PI
so could you lend me some money? (Please don't tell me Hart is coming back) 
Nadine says Frank could find him but Bridget says no.  No one can know I'm
pregnant.  One more thing is I can't risk the PI calling me at Ed/Mo's house so
can I give them your number and you act like a go between.  Nadine says she
will help her.  NAdines asks have you thought about your other options? 
Bridget says some but I'm not keen on adoption especially seeing Harley's
reaction.  Nadine gives her the money and says don't worry honey.  Your not
going thru this alone.  You know women like us have to fight for everything. 
But we will get what we want as long as we don't give up.

AM takes Nick into Alexandra's study.  He opens the safe and Nick wants to know
what he is doing?  AM says I'm putting some of Eleni's jewelry away.  He takes
out the files of Alex's and lays them on the desk.  Nick sees them and AM says
oh I forgot something and leaves.  Nick picks up the folder. Meanwhile in the
other room Alex tells Eleni I'm so happy.  AM comes in and Alex asks him to sit
beside her.  It is so wonderful having my family together.  AM there is plenty
of room in my company and in my heart for both you and Nick.  I wonder what is
keeping Nick?  Fade to AM's face.

Back from commercial and Nick is going thru Alexandra's files.  He sees Roger's
phone bills and looks thru them.  He asks himself why did Roger call this
number so  many times on my wedding day?  He calls the number to find out who
he called and Maurice answers the phone.  (the guy at the bar in Cambrai)  Nick
is shocked.

Bridget is asleep and hears a baby crying.  She wakes up yelling no.  She then
says it was only a dream but it won't be for long if I don't do something soon. 
Michelle comes in with a letter from her Mom.  Bridget hurries and gets rid of
Michelle and proceeds to get sick.  She says oh I hate this.
