                                Storylines
                     (ranked by relative superiority)
                     --------------------------------

[A]    Dixie sets up a clandestine Whappa rendevous w/Brian, by leaving a
       faux note at the PVU student union, asking him to pay a visit to an
       "old friend of Myrtle's (PV Hotel)".
       [Gomer Pyle accent: ON] Surprise, surpriiiise, surprise! [GPacc.: OFF] 
       Dix answers the door in a tight black number, sporting HUGE earrings
       and a matching pendant; "You Got The Right Room, Baby!"
       The Dynamic Duo reconfirm their committment to each other despite
       Adam's machinations, and lustily engage in "The Wild Thang - X 
       Blocks The Square"-style.

          Post whappa, a messenger shows up at the door with a summons for 
       Dixie: Adam has formally initiated child custody proceedings.
                


[C]    Stuart gets into a snit-fit over the impending meeting with Enid 
       Nelson; too many painful memories of Cindy's suffering. Adam gives
       him pep talk #234, and Stu gladly gets the hell out of Dodge, leaving 
       Gloria and Pops to do battle for the AIDS hospice. Moments later,
       mid-gathering, Glo pleads for the assemblage to "think of the children;
       this is a time to hold out your hands".
          Enid gets to the podium and declares that "she doesn't feel 
       responsible for the consequences of someone else's 'lifestyle choice';
       what PV needs to do is help construct families - not buildings to 
       shelter the depraved".
       Adam steps up to the mike, and invokes "The Ten Commandments" by way
       of getting into everyone's business, and not-too-subtly informing 
       PV's finest that he has the dirt on each and every one of them, and
       will spill the beans if that hospice doesn't get built! They vote to 
       build the hospice. Pops confesses to Glo that he was bluffing. 
          Gloria calls Enid a cow again, and makes some "moo eyes" at Adam.
       Pops invites her out for a celebatory dinner, and she all-too-rapidly 
       accepts.



[B]    See Dimitri and __(1)___ hug in the Euro WeirdWind courtyard. See
       Jack get pissed. Fume, Jack, fume. See Igor blow __(2)___.
       "Are you jealous, Jack?", asks ___(3)___. "Yup", replies Jack. "I'm
       jealous as __(4)___". And I'll be DAMNED if I'm going to stay in
       __(5)____, watching you and your husband hold hands trying to get
       through this crisis!" Be cool, Jack, be cool.  __(6)__ placates him,
       assuring him their new relationship is not in peril; it's just a
       "concerned-for-Edmund" thing.
       [Meanwhile, Dim is having Horny Flashbacks out on one of the 
        parapits, and decides to visit a church to pray.]

          Down below in the wine cellar [yup, that's where they were, folks],
       Psycho Mack Daddy pulls a gun on E in order to foil her escape:
       "I don't know how much you paid for that outfit, but I know it's not
        bulletproof!"   Erica whines for about two minutes, then dares him 
       to shoot ("Prove you're the really rotten Marick brother; blood will 
       always tell! 'Go for the gold'!"). Ed counters the "cheap psychological
       ploy" by informing E her that Angel is in town, and even IF he were 
       to let her run to Dimitri, it "would be a tight squeeze trying to
       get in between him and his wife!"  [Bam!]
          E pulls out the "you're going to be in deep __(7)__ w/ Brooke"
       gambit. Ed bites, tells her where they are, and lets her go.

          Upstairs, enter Air __(8)__, "regretting everything" and begging
       for forgiveness. Angel forgives her. Jack tries to pump her for
        __(9)__ on Hugo's missing body. Helga declares that she "feels a
       chill", and blows __(10)__, where she engages in intimate conversation
       w/ Hugo's casket [Hugo Yakov Marick - Nov. 15, 1914 --- June 6, 1979]:
       "I had to move you...I'll take care of that nosy Montgomery person...
        Edmund will take care of 'That Kane Woman' (tm)...Dimitri will
        reunite w/Angelique, and all will be as it should be."

        Igor returns from praying and locates Angel in the garden. As they 
        __(11)__ in deep, renewed friendship, a just-released Erica spots 
        them in embrace!
        Will Edmund's cabbage-patch-slap "come home to roost"??

       ___(12)___!          ["Answers" at end of Update :)]
