[Ed. note:  Well, the relatives are all gone so here's your update 
for two Fridays ago.  I will try and have this Friday's update out
by tomorrow.]

DOOL update for Friday, October 2, 1992.

Tom & Alice's house:  Jack comes up from the basement after storing 
the last of his and Jennifer's possessions.  Jennifer shows him her 
last paycheck and says it combined with their savings is enough for a 
down payment on their new house.

The loft:  Isabella's a little woozy and John worries that she might 
be overdoing it as she plans the baby shower.  He asks her if she's 
been taking her pain killers and she says she knows exactly how long 
the relief from them lasts and isn't going to take one until the last 
possible minute so she'll be able to enjoy the entire baby shower.

Shane's house:  Phillip arrives bearing roses and Kim is overjoyed to 
see him and gives him a big hug.  He says he's glad to know she misses 
the man and not the gifts.  He mentions the pearls and she seems a 
little upset.

The cop shop:  Roman tells Bo that he'd be close to solving the case 
if he could just find the woman who owned the pearls.  He also tells 
Bo that forensics showed that the person who stabbed Randy was short.  
Roman calls Roger and asks him to come to the police station -- saying 
he needs more help.  

-----

Shane's house:  Kim tells Phillip that she's misplaced the pearls and 
hasn't seen them since the night of the opening of Brady's.  He asks 
if that's the night she collapsed and then says he's sure she put them 
in a safe place and probably just forgot because she was woozy.  He 
tells her he's sure she'll remember soon but he's more concerned about 
her health at the moment.  She says she's feeling better and just took 
too much of the other medication.  She starts going on about the 
pearls again and he assures her that it's not important -- he's just 
worried about her welfare.  She tells him he makes her feel more safe 
than she's ever felt with anyone, including her father and Shane.  
Phillip asks about Shane who walks in just at that moment and says 
he's feeling fine.  Kim shows him the roses and he jokes that they're 
practically bridal.  He urges her to put them in water before she 
forgets and the mood gets a little uncomfortable.  She says sure and 
walks out.  After she leaves, Phillip asks how Kim really is.

Tom & Alice's house:  Jack tells Jenn that there just isn't enough 
money even with that check to buy a house.  She asks if he's looked at 
everything and he assures her he has and apologizes for letting her 
down.  She tells him that anywhere they're together is fine with her 
and kisses him.  Alice, Jo, and Caroline walk in from the kitchen and 
kick Jack out promising to save cake.  He leaves and Alice tells Jenn 
that they need to find a place for Isabella to sit so she can be as 
comfortable as possible.  Jenn asks if she's being too selfish in 
going ahead with the party and Alice assures her that it's the best 
thing for Isabella if that's what she wants.

The loft:  Isabella takes a pain pill and asks John to understand that 
giving the shower for Jenn is really lifting her spirits.  There's a 
knock at the door and Isabella goes to finish putting her make-up on 
after saying it must be Carly to pick her up.  John opens the door to 
Carly who asks if he's going to be okay.  He asks what else he can do 
but be okay and she tells him that Isabella draws on his strength.  He 
says she's just in such pain.  Carly tells him she can increase 
Isabella's prescription or put her on IV's but that will really 
restrict her freedom.  He says there's no sense in robbing Isabella of 
her dignity just to make things easier for him.  She asks again if 
he'll be okay and he just ignores the question and then tells her that 
he turned Ecosystems over to Victor and his lawyers.  She asks if that 
doesn't leave him vulnerable to attack from Lawrence and he says he 
spoke with Lawrence and doesn't think he'll do anything.  Isabella 
comes back down and she and Carly leave for the shower.  As they 
leave, Isabella asks if she can drive and Carly says no -- she's seen 
the way Isabella drives.  [Ha!  Very funny!!]  John picks up the pain 
pills and then drops them back on the table in frustration.

-----

The cop shop:  Roger walks in and Roman tells him he wants Roger to 
draw him a sketch of the woman he saw talking to Randy the night of 
the murder.  Roger says he'll try but he's not sure how helpful he can 
be.  Roman shows him the pearls and Roger says he doesn't remember 
ever seeing them before.

Shane's house:  Shane tells Phillip that Kim just hasn't been the same 
woman he knew and that the doctors attribute this to the overdose of 
the medication.  He then says that the overdose may have been caused 
by oversight on Kim's part or may have been caused by the stressful 
situation at the house.  He tells Phillip that he talked to Kim about 
taking custody of the children and Phillip gets a bit upset -- asking 
how Shane could have been so thoughtless.  He says Kim's the best 
mother he's known.  Shane tells Phillip that he must understand that 
the circumstances were abnormal and there were a few incidents.  
Phillip says they were undoubtedly caused by the pills and Shane says 
he realizes that now but he couldn't tell earlier.  He then says he 
thinks he knows a way of making it up to her.  He says now Phillip is 
here and he's on his way out.  Phillip asks if he thinks Kim's 
problems are being caused by having to deal with two men at once.  
Shane says he's Kim's past and Phillip is her future and she needs 
stability right now.  He says that even though Kim appears to be a 
very strong and independent woman, down deep she's still an insecure 
little girl who desperately needs love.  Phillip says he saw a little 
bit of that earlier, thanks Shane for his honesty, and leaves to talk 
to Kim.

Tom & Alice's house:  Isabella, Carly, and Jennifer walk into the 
living room and Jenn holds Isabella's and Carly's hands to her stomach 
to feel the baby moving.  She says she couldn't believe she had a real 
person inside her when she first felt the baby.  She then apologizes 
for going on and on and they both tell her it's okay.  Isabella says 
the best is yet to come.  Jenn asks if she's talking about the 
delivery and Isabella says no...she's talking about the first time you 
look into her face or she holds onto your hand [hmmmm...does this mean 
it's gonna be a girl?].  Jenn comments that it must be frightening and 
Carly looks on quietly.  Isabella says it can be but it gives you such 
a sense of strength to know you're part of something so important -- 
that then you're part of a sisterhood in the universe that nurtures 
and fosters life.  She says after she had Brady, it made everything 
else she'd done in her life seem pretty inconsequential.  Carly seems 
a bit sad -- obviously thinking about the fact that she probably can't 
have more children.  Alice and Jo walk in and tell them that Marlena 
called saying she won't be able to make it.  Jo asks Jenn if they've 
picked out a name for the baby yet.  Jenn says she's been going 
through the books of baby names and Julie arrives happily.

-----

The shower:  Carrie tells Alice that she may have to leave early 
because she's throwing a party for Billie Reed and doesn't think 
she'll have time to prepare everything if she stays.  Alice tells her 
she's welcome to the leftovers if she doesn't think the baby shower 
theme will be too strange for her friends and Carrie thinks it's a 
great idea.  She thanks Alice but Alice tells her to thank Isabella 
instead.  Carrie walks over and kneels next to Isabella and gives her 
a kiss on the cheek.  Isabella is surprised and asks what's going on.  
Carrie says she's thanking her for such a great party -- saying she 
never knew a baby shower could be so fun.  Maggie says she just never 
knew what she'd been missing.  Jenn says showers are great fun -- 
especially opening the gifts and then proceeds to start opening them.  
The first gift is from Isabella and has all kinds of things from 
clothes to blankets in it.  Julie insists her gift be next and it 
turns out to be a baby book.  Jenn says she hopes she can find the 
time to keep up with it and Isabella tells her she'll have to find the 
time.  Julie jokes that it takes some kids years and years and years 
to grow up and Maggie asks about David.  Julie says, laughing, that 
she's not sure her son ever learned to write.  The next gift is from 
Alice and a hand crocheted blanket.  [Side note:  gee...one of the 
writer's or director's must have actually been to a baby shower 
because as they opened the gifts, Isabella was careful to keep a list 
of what was opened and who gave it...hmmmm...]  The next gift is from 
Carly who assures Jenn that it's totally impractical and asks Jenn to 
tell her what it reminds her of.  It's a music box that has the song 
that they used to dance to in dance class together.  

Kim's bedroom:  Kim is frantically searching for the pearls and 
Phillip walks in.  She tells him she's still looking for the pearls 
and he says they're bound to show up.  She says she should just call 
Shawn at the pub and ask if he's seen them.  She starts to dial the 
phone and suddenly seems to be having a headache.  Phillip asks if 
she's getting one and she says, pulling herself together and hanging 
up the phone, that the headaches are long gone and she just got too 
worked up.  He suggests that she quit looking for the pearls and that 
it would be fun if he took her out for a night on the town.  He says 
he heard about a roadhouse on the edge of town that has a lot of 
atmosphere and is supposed to be a lot of fun.  He says if it works 
out, he may be able to use it for a location shot in a movie sometime 
in the future.  She says that sounds like fun.  He suggests she take a 
nap and leaves after settling her down.

The cop shop:  Stella sees Roger drawing the picture of the woman at 
the roadhouse and asks why he's there.  Roger says Roman knows he can 
draw portraits because he knows he's making one of Marlena.  Stella 
asks rather snippily if that's how he's paying Marlena's fee and he 
says no -- it's to replace the photo she destroyed.  Roman walks in 
and asks Stella not to bother Roger right now...he needs him to 
concentrate on getting the sketch done.

-----

Kim's bedroom:  Kim wakes up from her nap and Phillip walks in and 
says he's glad to see her looking better.  She says she's feeling 
better because he's returned and is taking her out for a night on the 
town just like they used to have in LA.  He says he's been checking 
out Salem and thinks he's going to move his headquarters from LA to 
Salem.  She says that's a big change and he says the advantages are 
going to be worth it.  She asks if they're still going out and he says 
of course -- he'll wait downstairs until she's changed.  She tells him 
as she hugs him fiercely, that she wants him to stay right with her.

Shane's study:  Tarrington calls Shane and tells him he needs an 
answer right away -- saying the situation is getting worse by the 
hour.  Shane says the time isn't convenient but he will be in touch.

Brady's:  Shawn and Mickey are making toasts to fatherhood while Bo 
halfheartedly joins in.  Jack, being rather somber, asks how John's 
doing and Bo says it's hard to tell -- that he's keeping it all 
bottled up.  Jack says he doesn't know what he'd do if it were Jenn -- 
that he'd be half out of his mind.  Mickey jokes that he's already 
there and Shawn cracks up while Bo, smiling, tells him not to kick a 
man while he's down.  He says John has to keep things together for 
Brady.  Shawn tells Jack that he'll soon learn that he'll do anything 
for his new child.  Mickey agrees and starts to tell them something 
Tom always told him just as Tom and John arrive.  Tom tells them they 
make him laugh since they live in the disposable diaper age.  Jack 
says it doesn't seem that hard -- just a little less sleep.  Shawn 
hands a sack to Jack as everyone explains to Jack how much he'll be 
running behind after taking care of the baby and he'll need something 
to keep his image intact.  The gift turns out to be a t-shirt with a 
tux and tie drawn on the front.  The back of the shirt reads:  "That's 
my dad!"  The guys all laugh and Shawn suggests they go in search of 
the ladies.

-----

The cop shop:  Roger shows the finished sketch to Roman and says he 
thinks it's pretty close.  Roman says it helps narrow the field and 
Roger leaves.  Bo walks in and tells Roman he's back.  Roman shows him 
the drawing and asks if the woman looks familiar -- Bo says she seems 
vaguely familiar but he can't be sure.

The shower:  Carrie opens the door to the men marching in.  Mickey 
says they've come to greet them and claim their share of the cake.  
Isabella takes Tom aside and tells him she's decided to give a 
substantial amount money to the hospital to expand the existing cancer 
treatment facilities.  Tom's touched and tells her he's been wanting 
to do that since the day it was dedicated to the memory of his 
grandson's wife [Margo, I guess, although he didn't say her name] but 
just didn't have the funds.  She thanks him for giving her the 
satisfaction of making such a bequest.  He says he just wishes she 
could...he hesitates and she finishes his thought...live to see it.  
She assures him she will see it from where ever and will rejoice.  She 
asks him not to tell anyone and he agrees.  Julie tells Jenn it's too 
bad her father has to miss out on all this fun.  Jenn says he saw her 
false labor on TV and called.  Julie asks how he's doing and Jenn says 
he's well.  Julie starts to reminisce about the fact that he delivered 
Jenn himself and remembers vividly the day he and Laura came home with 
her.  She says they all loved her very much -- especially her mother.  
She asks if she knows that and Jenn says she does realize that now -- 
it took her awhile but she does know now.  John checks on Isabella and 
suggests they head home.  She agrees saying it's been a wonderful 
party -- everything she hoped it would be.

-----

Shane's house:  Phillip asks Shane if he has any objections to his 
marrying Kim and becoming a step-father to the kids.  Shane says it's 
obvious that Kim and the children love him so how could he.  Phillip 
says that's good because he's decided to move his headquarters to 
Salem so he can be near Kim and the kids full-time.  He says if Shane 
has somewhere to go...and Shane says he supposes there's nothing 
really keeping him in Salem anymore, in that case.  Kim walks in and 
tells Shane she told the children he'd finish reading their book to 
them.  He says he'll be happy to and she and Phillip leave.

Tom & Alice's house:  Jenn walks Isabella and John to the door and 
tells them this has been the best day of her life next to her wedding.  
They hug and Jenn thanks Isabella for the party.  Jo tells Carly, 
who's cleaning up, to leave that to her, Caroline, and Alice -- that 
half the fun of a shower for the grandmothers is going over everything 
that happened while they clean up.  She asks if it would be okay to 
take some cake home to ShawnD and they head off to get her a piece.  
Bo walks in and asks if the party was hard on her.  She says she'll 
get over it -- she has to.  They head out and Jack and Jenn stop them 
to say good-bye.  Jack thanks them for their help and says maybe Jenn 
will do the same for Carly someday.  Bo says they've got to 
concentrate on the bridal shower first and Jenn asks if they put the 
wedding off because of Isabella.  Carly says yeah and there still 
won't be a wedding until she delivers.  Jenn says the pressure's on 
and hugs Carly.  They all say good-bye.  Outside, Bo helps Carly with 
her jacket and comments that their situation isn't fair.  Carly says 
it sure isn't and it's not fair that Isabella won't live to see her 
child grow up.  She says it's not fair that Jenn doesn't have a home 
and has to live with her grandparents.  She says that despite all 
that, she had a good time and she's really happy.  He asks what she 
has to be happy about and she says a lot -- him and Shawn Douglas.  He 
hugs her and she says she has a lot.

-----

Tom & Alice's house:  Jenn shows a tiny pair of shoes to Jack who says 
"he" will never be able to wear them and she says "she" will be too 
old once she's walking.  She shows the music box to him and he says 
it's nice and asks about diapers.  She says John gave them a year's 
supply and he says that will be a great help to them in the future.  
She agrees and says they [she and Jack] will be a big help to John in 
the future -- and he agrees.

The loft:  John and Isabella arrive home and he worries that she over 
did things and he should have made her go home much earlier.  She says 
she's fine and he goes to the phone.  She collapses and he tells the 
baby-sitter to call the hospital and Dr. Manning to tell them he's 
taking Isabella in.  He picks her up and heads out the door.

The cop shop:  Stella asks Roman if he found anything.  He tells her 
to run the drawing of "the woman" through the computer and tell him if 
it comes up with a match.  She walks out with the drawing and he says 
to himself that there's just something about that face that looks 
familiar.

Casey's Roadhouse:  Kim and Phillip arrive and he tells her he's heard 
some amazing things about this place.  She says any experience with 
him is very hip and wacky.  They walk in and Kim looks a bit stunned.

[That's it...yet another episode ending with a freeze frame of Kim 
looking upset.  It's getting old, if you ask me.]
