Okay, yes, here I am with the update and it hasn't even been
two weeks since the show aired.  :)  Sorry, but I never did
update the show before this.  I taped over it before I got 
the chance and to tell you the truth, I don't remember what
happened.  It *was* a long time ago, after all.   Well, if you
missed that show and anything in this update is unclear, just
ask and I'll do my best.  This was a good show, btw.  Next
week should be good too.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Capsule Update~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vanessa blackmails Anne with the knowledge of the
fertility pills.  Anne falls from a horse and gets
her doctor to say she miscarried.   Claudia tries
to attain Anne's help in getting Greg out of the
urban renewal project.   Claudia catches Nick in a
lie and lays down the law with him.  Nick continues
to dazzle Claudia.   Mac and Karen fight over how
to handle Mary.  Mary insists on the full million
dollars, but we discover that this will never come
to be for her.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Joe is packing up his things at Mary's apartment.   Mary says
T  she is going to try to get the full million dollars out of Mac.
E  Joe tells her that he thinks she is nuts, and then spills the
A  beans about Val.  He explains that she was snooping around in
S  Florida so they kidnapped her and were holding her.  When Gary
E  found them they tried to get away with Val in the car.  They
R  all died in the crash.  Mary becomes furious and freaks out on
   Joe.  She tells him to get out and gives him $50,000 of her
   half million to shut him up.  


Mac views the tape that Gary took of his transaction with Mary.
Because of the mishap with the batteries, they have no hard
evidence.   Mac plans on taking the audio tape somewhere to
have it enhanced to "lift" the conversation from the background
noise.  As Mac is on the way out Peggy makes an appearance!

Anne and Greg come home a bit early from Aruba.  Carlos gives
Greg a message concerning rebuilding inner city sites.  Greg
gets to work right away.  Anne says "I guess the honeymoon's
over."

Vanessa calls Dr. Stern's office and says that she is Jane
Grey, Anne's assistant.  She uses a Southern accent and tells
a nurse that Anne lost her fertility pills and needs a refill.

Ms. Fields, Mary's ex-attorney, talks with a coworker about a
prospective date with Cliff.  Karen shows up and asks about 
Toni's progress with Mary.  Toni tells her about being fired
and says she thinks Karen is right to be worried.   She claims
she can so and do no more because of ethical responsibilities.
Karen asks her about her ethical responsibilities towards Meg.

Greg and other project big shots check out a target for renewal
in the city.  A group of people from the community are picketing
the future site of a supermarket.   They clash with Greg and
friends and complain that only twelve men on this construction
site are minorities.  Cliff tries to explain that they're to
help and change things.  David, the guy that got Greg into
all this, promises he'll look into the situation.

Dr. Stern calls Anne about the refill on the pills.  She asks
how Anne is feeling and tells her about the call from her
"assistant".   Anne covers the story, but becomes quite
worried.

Karen comes looking for Mac at the office and talks to Peggy.
[I noticed that Peggy was limping quite a bit.  Perhaps this
is why we haven't seen the character for so long.  The
actress may have been in an accident.]   Mac returns and Karen
tells him about her meeting with Toni Fields.   Mac doesn't
think that there is anything Toni can do to help them.  Karen
asks about the tape that Peggy mentioned.   Mac tries to avoid
the conversation but ends up telling her about the deal with
Mary.  Karen is shocked and says that she can't believe that
Mac would think this would put Mary out of their lives.  She
storms out furious.

Greg works over the phone from home.   Anne is decked out for a
benefit they will be attending.   Greg gets another call and
announces that he will have to work and cannot attend.  Anne is
disappointed and annoyed.  

The MacKenzies are all quiet around the dinner table and Meg is
just playing with her food.   She says that she is worried
about Mary coming to visit the next day.  Mac says that Mary
won't be coming and Meg brightens up.  She runs around the
table and gives Mac a hug.   Then she goes back and starts
wolfing her food down.

Nick comes into the darkened restaurant to find Claudia.  She
set him up by leaving him a message to meet a "potential
investor."  She says she checked and knows that he was lying
about having other investors.  Claudia gives Nick a check for
$100,000 to start renovating.  She tells Nick that she is the
only investor he would ever need, and the two kiss.

Karen yells at Mac for telling Meg that Mary won't be visiting
anymore.   Mac suggests that if Mary shows up they just won't
let her in.  Karen demands to know how much money he gave to
Mary, but Mac won't tell.  He turns out the light and rolls
over in bed and ignores Karen.

Greg comes home in the morning after working all night.  Anne
is concerned when she learns that Paige was there with him.
When Anne starts to protest Greg says "Look, you got the ring
on your finger, the kid in the over, chill!  Enjoy your life."
Greg leaves again and Anne goes after him.  She is too late and
misses him but bumps into Vanessa at the front gate.

Anne asks what Vanessa is doing at the house.  Vanessa says she'd
like to talk and Anne starts to explain that it is a bad time.
Vanessa cuts her off....

Vanessa:  Be quiet!   My, that felt good.  You people are so
damned imperious <?>.  Look familiar?  [she holds up the
fertility pills]   Has your name right on it.  Trichlormaphine,
makes you fertile as a bunny.  But it didn't work for you,
Anne.

Anne:  I don't know what you're talking about.

V:  Oh, my mistake.  Ta ta.   Maybe Mr. Sumner will be
interested.

A:  Wait!

V:  Say please, you've hurt my feelings.

A:  Where did you get those, what do you want?  

V:  Everything I can get.  But I'm an impulsive shopper, so I
better take some time to think about this.  How about $1,000
a week for starters?

A:  Then you'll give me the pills?

V:  That request is a tad premature.

A:  My, a thousand a week.  You *ARE* cheap!   [Yes!]

V:  Make that two thousand, I deserve it!

A:  You do.  


Anne motions for Vanessa to follow her inside.


Greg goes to talk with one of the black guys from the inner
city.  He tells him to bring 35 workers of his choosing to
start working on the new project.   Greg asks this guy to be a
"community representative".   He tempts him further by offering
to clean up the burnt out store next to his mother's business.

Mac comes home to find Mary making her way downstairs.  He
grabs her and they argue about the money.  Mary leaves and Mac
goes upstairs to find Meg crying and totally traumatized.
Karen is holding Meg.

Toni and Cliff have lunch together.  A woman approaches and
asks for Cliff's autograph and raves about him being in the
World Series.   Toni is totally embarrassed because she just
got through bad-mouthing sports and athletes.  Cliff tells her
it is okay and they change the subject to the sports complex.

Mort comes to talk to Claudia and brings to her attention a
suspect withdrawal from the foundation funds.  Claudia pretends
to be shocked and questions Mort about it.   She asks him to
keep things quiet while she looks into it herself.

Claudia visits Anne at the ranch.  Anne says she is going
riding and doesn't have time to talk.    Claudia tries to be
friendly but Anne is cold.   Claudia wants Anne's help in
getting Greg out of the urban renewal project.  She thinks they
could work together as she wants Sumnergroup to stop being
involved, and Anne should want more time with Greg, and less
time for Greg with Paige.   Claudia tries to play off Anne's
jealousy and describes a scenario with Greg and Paige working
late together in a hotel.  She finishes with "Get the picture?"
Anne replies "I get the picture.  It's of you, Claudia.  And
it's ugly!"  [Yes!]   Anne tells Claudia to let herself out and
she storms off to go horse-back riding.  She gets on a horse
despite warnings that it has been "frisky" all day.  Anne sets
off riding way too fast.  She continues along the trail at top
speed, throwing caution to the wind.  She comes upon a fence
and the horse stops short, goes up on its hind legs and throws
Anne off.

Mac goes to Mary's apartment and freaks out on her.  Mary was 
expecting this so she has a tape recorder set up.  Mary plays
innocent for the sake of the tape.  Mac storms around looking
for the money and threatening Mary.  A neighbor comes and
breaks it up.

Dr. Stern tells Anne she'll  be okay.  Anne asks her to tell
Greg that she had a miscarriage.  Dr. Stern tells Anne that it
is highly unethical.  Anne pleads and says that she is afraid
of losing Greg.   Anne says she wants to make up for all her
mistakes and begs the doctor some more.

Greg comes home just as the doctor is leaving.  He asks about
the baby and Dr. Stern simply says "I'm sorry."  Greg goes to
see Anne and jokes, then asks Anne if she is okay.    He says
"We can try again" and holds her.  Anne breathes a sigh of
relief.

Nick leads Claudia into the restaurant where a table is set up
just for them.  He has arranged music, champagne and a meal.
He gives Claudia a beautiful gold necklace and tells her that
she has been neglecting "the woman inside".   Claudia is
totally charmed.

Anne eats in bed as Carlos arrives with flowers.   Anne reads
the card outloud to Greg.  It is from a Japanese company
thanking Greg for arranging the deal with Bill Nolan.  Anne is
shocked to discover that Greg engineered Paige and Bill's
break-up.  Greg says that he didn't want Paige to waste her
time with Bill.   He claims that he just set up the offer, Bill
took it on his own.

Karen arrives at Mary's apartment, which is darkened and in
disarray.  She makes her way around and is shocked to discover
Mary lying on her kitchen floor with a pool of blood beside her
head.
