DOOL update for Friday, September 18, 1992.

[Gee...is it just me or did absolutely nothing happen on Friday's
episode?  Sorry for the brevity of the update this week but the show 
went nowhere -- it wasn't a bad show necessarily...just kinda boring.]

In training
-----------
Carrie and Billie make final arrangements on their plan to keep Austin 
out of the ring.  Billie says she's sure Austin will be convinced that 
they're behind his boxing career and leaves for her singing debut at 
Casey's.  When Austin arrives at Carrie's apartment later, it turns 
out she's rented a bunch of gym equipment so he can work out.  She 
tells him this is the only way to convince him she's really behind his 
boxing and she will act as his trainer.  He's a little doubtful but 
agrees to the idea.  Carrie pushes Austin very hard in a workout and 
seems to be ready to sleep with him but he falls asleep before 
anything happens.

Heart attack?  Schmart attack!
------------------------------
Victor gives Vivian some pills which will cause her heartbeat to 
accelerate wildly.  He warns her to be very careful with them and to 
not let anyone see the pills.  She takes two pills instead of the one 
he warns her to take and nearly overdoes it.  Carly stops by to see 
Viv (making Lawrence very nervous) and ends up convinced that Viv is 
too weak to try to escape.  Lawrence tries to insist that Viv go to 
the hospital but she refuses -- saying she just needs some rest.  
After Victor escorts Viv to her room, Lawrence questions Victor's 
presence and thinks that Vivian faked the attack but Carly insists 
there's no way someone could fake the accelerated heartbeat.  He 
worries that Carly will tell Viv she knows about Nikki but Carly says 
she won't for now and reiterates that Viv is too weak to leave town.  
Larry insists again that she not tell Bo anything about Nikki or 
Lisanne's death.  Viv is convinced that Lawrence fell for their plan 
but refuses to return the remaining pills to Victor.  He tells her not 
to worry about the plan and she says she's going to spend the rest of 
her life thanking him for his help.

A cop's gotta do what a cop's gotta do
--------------------------------------
Bo meets with Abe and convinces him to leave the investigation into 
Lisanne's death open until the information on her private phone calls 
gets back from the phone company.  Later, Bo tells Carly that he 
thinks Larry's got something to do with Lisanne's death and she says 
she really doubts it.  He wonders why she would suddenly defend 
Lawrence but she puts him off.  They arrange to meet later to watch 
Billie's opening night.

Gosh, do you think we can find an abandoned cabin in the woods?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Larry tells Carly that he wants her to postpone her wedding to Bo 
until they know what they will do about Nikki -- saying he's not 
willing to risk wasting the time she will be gone on her honeymoon 
while Viv plots to get Nikki out of town.  She agrees to think about 
it.  A nurse interrupts them to say there's been a plane crash up in 
the mountains and the MedVan is the only available emergency vehicle 
so she must go up despite the falling snow.  Lawrence worries about 
Carly being out in the weather and rather than argue with him, she 
lets him go along.  Carly stabilizes all the injured people and 
they're taken away in other emergency vehicles [huh?...where'd they 
come from?] and Carly and Larry start to drive back to Salem but the 
MedVan gets stuck in the snow.  Lawrence goes to look for help and 
finds an empty cabin with blankets and food that they can hole up in 
-- sadly, the phone is disconnected [anyone surprised?].  Carly very 
begrudgingly agrees to stay at the cabin overnight.

Opening night
-------------
Bo arrives at Casey's to meet Carly and watch Billie's debut.  Casey 
tells him that Carly called from the hospital earlier and won't make 
it because of an emergency.  Billie starts her set but a guy starts 
heckling her from the crowd when he recognizes her from the porno 
movie she did with Phillip.  After a couple of minutes, she throws a 
drink in the guy's face and Casey fires Billie.  Bo tries to comfort 
her and she blames him for everything -- saying if he'd just left her 
alone, she wouldn't have been put in this position.

The Pit & The Truck
-------------------
Stella seals the pit after telling Marlena that her children and 
husband will be much better off once she's dead.  Marlena tries to 
convince Stella that she's really a good person but Stella refuses to 
listen and nails the boards over the mouth of the pit as she says 
she's not the one killing Marlena -- the dynamite will be doing that.  
After Stella leaves, Marlena agonizes over being left in the pit and 
begins to convince herself that Roman really might be better off 
without her.  She says to herself that he will come out of his coma 
and take care of their children -- that God wouldn't be so cruel as to 
leave them without both of their parents.  Stella meets with Jesse to 
tell him she's leaving for Arizona and he offers to drive her to the 
airport.  As they drive to the airport, he keeps going on about what a 
wonderful mother she is and how much he will miss her.  She starts to 
feel remorseful about leaving Marlena to die and asks him to pull over 
at a phone booth so she can make a call.  She calls Abe to tell him 
where Marlena is and while she's on hold, a truck skids out of control 
and runs Stella over as Jesse watches in horror.  [Much as I've never 
liked Jesse, I think it really stinks that the only two times he's 
been on in the last two months, he got beat up and then he saw his 
mother run over by a truck.  Blech.]

Fade to hourglass...
