I would have loved to have had the aspirin concession for this show
as several of Llanview's residents find themselves with terrible
headaches this day.

The Party: Pass the Excedrin, Please
====================================
Blair and Asa have arrived at the party after listening to
Addie rant about "our baby". After the loving couple left, Addie
smashed a picture of Asa and said "it's not his baby, it's ours."
Meanwhile, at the party Asa again brings up the need to put Addie
away; Blair promises him that if he tries anything she'll be out
the door like a shot and he'll never see their child.

Viki is urging Clint not to fight tonight. But Sloane and Dorian's
arrival puts a damper on that thought. Viki and Clint have the
same ol' argument about Clint's jealousy, blah, blah, blah. Clint
leaves and Renee joins Viki. Viki proclaims to have a headache.
Renee tries to get Viki to see Clint's side. She says that Clint
might feel insecure because he sees Sloane as being more like
Viki. She urges Viki to reassure Clint [ed note: Viki's obvious
feelings for Sloane aside, hasn't she been trying to do this?!]
Viki slyly changes the subject by asking (after pointing out to
Renee that even thought she and Clint might be from different
backgrounds, Joe Riley and she also had different backgrounds and
if Joe were still alive today they'd still be married! So there!!)
Renee if she's been keeping up with the goings-on of Asa and Blair.
Renee says "no, why would I be interested." Before Viki has a chance
to soften the impact of the impending "Buchanan heir", Sloane
interrupts and wants to talk to Viki.

Renee is about to get her own headache as she encounters Asa
out on the patio. Asa is downright rude to his ex-wife. Blair 
arrives and is obviously annoyed as Asa drops the bomb on Renee
about the baby. Renee leaves; Blair tells Asa he was mean to Renee.
He doesn't understand why she cares. And Asa being Asa decides it's
time to leave the party so Blair doesn't get too tired. Blair
spots Dorian and manages to convince Asa to go ahead without her
since she knows how much he dislikes charity events. Blair tells
him she's proud of his not drinking and sends him on his way.

Blair walks over to Dorian and tells her she doesn't want Dorian
to misinterpret what happened earlier with Addie. Dorian tells Blair
that Addie needs professional help. Blair experiences Excedrin
headache #553 as Dorian tells her that she is gonna appeal the
guardianship ruling.

Viki tells Sloane she doesn't want to talk now when she spots
Clint entering the room. She goes to Clint, grabs his hand, and
spins him out on the dance floor. Dorian joins Sloane and tells
him that Viki and Clint don't own the dance floor. But Sloane
decides to sit this one out. Later, Sloane corners a solitary
Viki. He tells her it isn't a crime if they talk and he hopes he
hasn't made things difficult for her. Sloane offers to work at
Llanfair only when she and Clint aren't there; Viki counteroffers
by offering to send the books he needs to him. Sloane starts to
talk about her feelings again, but Viki stops him short by telling
him she will not tolerate any further disruptions in her marriage.
Sloane says he respects that and leaves. Clint arrives and a 
tearful, very confused, Viki hugs him. Clint asks what's wrong;
Viki says she just wants to go home and talk about what's right
for a change.

Asa May Need His Own Bottle of Aspirin
======================================
Asa has arrived at his house to find Duke and Kevin there. Kevin
tells Asa about an earlier encounter with Addie and how she rambled on
about "our baby". She had also told Kevin not to let anyone take
his baby away because someone had taken her baby away from her
once (meaning Blair). Kevin tells Asa he came there because
of the mass confusion at Llanfair -- Billy's arrival, Clint and
Viki's constant arguing. Asa sacastically asks him if he thought it
would be quieter at his house, calling it the Llantano Snake Pit!!
Kevin asks what's with Addie. Asa says it would be best if Addie were
put away. Meanwhile, Addie is sneaking behind the doorway,
overhearing the Buchanan men talk. Duke is in his carriage. And
Addie quietly takes baby Duke and goes upstairs.

If There's Any Left, Luna Could Use A Couple of Aspirin Over Here
=================================================================
Luna stares in horror at the picture on the wall. Deborah's father
scares Luna half to death and calls her "his daughter." [BTW, Claude
Akins is playing Deborah's father, Marcus Whitehart]. Marcus
hears Suede returning and he runs off. Luna demands to know where
Suede went, leaving her in that scary house with a crazy man.
Suede wants to know what she's talking about. What crazy man? Luna
tells Suede she is sick of him and his problems. She tells him to
just shoot her and get it over with. Luna distraughtly tells him
that her instincts were the only thing going for her and now she's
lost those. She says she should have listened to Max. Suede tells
her her instincts are okay: he didn't kill his wife.

He FINALLY tells Luna his real name and what happened to his wife.
They were from different sides of the track, she was a debutante and
he fell for her in a big way. He thought it was a dream when
Deborah agreed to marry him. Marcus blew a gasket. Suede says Marcus
was more obsessed with Deborah than he (Suede) was. Luna says Suede
must have had a powerful love for Deborah, but Suede startles her
by admitting he really hated her once he got to know her: she was
a rich, spoiled brat. And he thinks Deborah married him just to
drive Marcus crazy. But Suede says he didn't kill her.

Through a flashback, we find out that it's Deborah's 21st birthday
(this was 10 years ago). Deborah was drunk and flirted with every
guy in the room but Suede, who got mad and left. He said he went 
to a bar and met a friend from the factory; a guy named George Hill.
They got drunk together and when they went back to Raven Point the
party was over and Suede found himself locked out of the house.
They took off and went to play cards and drink some more, but Suede
got madder and madder as he thought about being locked out of his
own home. Finally, he went back; broke open a window to get in and
found Deborah on the floor! Dead! Blood everywhere! [this was
really gross!] Back in real time, Suede is looking at the blood
stain that remains on the floor.

Suede says he was in shock at finding his wife slashed up. Another
flashback shows Suede picking up the knife, bare-handed, and Marcus
walking in. Back in real time, Suede tells Luna that Marcus owned
White Hart City and that's why Suede was found guilty. George Hill,
his alibi, disappeared a few days before the trial. Luna asks what
she has to do with all of this.

Suede says he had given up hope and then saw Luna's picture in the
paper. He listened to her talk show and realized that Luna was the
type of person he wished Deborah had been. Suede said he hoped Luna
could help him if he told her the real story. Luna wonders why he
didn't tell her all of this before. Suede says he needed proof.
He has found George Hill and he wants Luna to talk to him. Before
Luna has a chance to say anything, Marcus comes back and tells
"Deborah" that Charles Pruitt is a liar and then proceeds to
attack Suede. As he's choking Suede, Luna is screaming....

[There were a couple of small scenes where Max has regained
consciousness. He tries, in vain, to kick the door down. Looks
like he could also use some aspirin!]

Question of the Week:
=====================
What affect will all this "babynapping" have on Baby Duke?
Maybe he'll grow up and realize that Addie really is the only
sane person living in Asa's house! :-)

Have a great week, everyone!
