              commercial break for a Chicago hostage situation. ]



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

[C]     E, while liberating the Mone-ster from the infamous PVH 4th floor, 
        runs into Igor in the hallway and exchanges pleasantries. Erica 
        excuses herself to check on the release paperwork, and Dimitri 
        moseys over to Nick, trying to make sure "Erica's well taken care 
        of." Nick essentially tells him to f**k off. He does.
           Mona, released into the care of her daughter, remarks that she'd
        "probably get more peace and quiet at a rodeo".
           Chez E, Nick unexpectedly asks Erica to marry him.
        WHERE THE  ____HELL____ DID *THAT* COME FROM???!
        [I was tempted to turn off the tape, abort the Update and go out 
         for some brewskis at this point.]
           Erica declines, gently kisses his cheek, tells him she loves 
        him, and blows him quietly out of Dodge. Mona tells E to keep her 
        chin up re: the Igor Situation.


[E]     Tweety and Dimitri have their first visit (what? no gift, you cheap 
        *&^%$%$%$%!). During a frank chat about their loved ones (Trevor 
        and Angelique), NewNat tells him to "get over the guilt associated 
        with being happy and get on with his life". [This from a woman who 
        has to memorize the positions of the buttons on a telephone...]
        NN asks him pointblank if he still loves Angel. Igor blows Dodge 
        without giving an answer.


[B]     GloBoNurse comforts Dixie by reminding her that "it's not a crime 
        to make love to someone". Dix responds that she's broken-out the
        sackcloth and ashes, however, because a part of her "is glad Brian
        and Hayley aren't back together --- I still WANT him! --- I want
        another chance!" [ at a successful relationship ].  Glo counters 
        that since Dix did nothing to break them up --- she's not 
        responsible. Conscience soothed, they bop off to work.
           Brian shows up chez Dix a short time later, followed by a
        concerned T and An Li. They decide to check all the places Halo
        might have gone.


[D]     Charlie shows up at the hospital and gives Ruth and Joe the 4-1-1
        on his "shadow detective activities". They freak (memories of Tad
        "dying" in the line of duty). Dix learns Hayley might have drowned
        via an update from Joe. Chuckles jumps on her case ("What? She 
        knows (about the Dix/Bri affair)?!...Gee, Dix, THAT was smart...").
        Gloria brainslaps him ("Why don't you leave before you make
        everything worse!"). Charlie gets the hell out of Dodge.


[A]     Pops and "family" freak over the possibility that a drunk Hayley
        drowned in the ocean. Derek gets Brian to split in order to stop 
        flare-ups with Adam (slowing down proceedings). Mimi, Trevor, Derek
        and Pops transport to the site to meet the local and state police 
        search parties (Trevor: "and when I find her, I'm going to give her 
        the Mother Of All Porkchop Hugs --- then I'm going to break her neck!).
      
      [Taylor appears briefly to bug Derek for police exam tips, and to
       evidence trademark insensitivity at the news of Tink's disappearance:
                    "Sea City has a lousy yacht club."]

           Chez beach, the police tell an extremely distraught Adam that 
        due to storms 30 miles offshore and subesequent killer 
        undercurrents, not only do they not expect to find her alive but 
        "we can't even pinpoint where the body will wash ashore".
        [That man will NEVER work for Hallmark...]
           Frye and Reed transport in and inform Trevor that the search 
        for Tink is being called off. Taylor shows up to "lend a hand" and 
        with "a big clue in the Vaughn disappearance". Mimi essentially 
        tell her to f**k off [was: "get out of my face"].
           Bri, T and the Li-ster arrive on-scene, and as Adam points at 
        Brian and yells "YOU KILLED HER!", the camera cuts to the battered
        body of Hayley (black eyes, etc.) washed up on some part of the 
        beach.

        Regardless of her physical condition...maybe...WE NEED A NEW HAYLEY!
        (was: CLIFFHANGER!)


    


        Quote of the Week:  "I could drink some Slim-Fast, lose a few
        -----------------    pounds --- but when they lower his scrawny
                             little rear end into the ground, he's still
                             going to be nuts."

                             [Republican media adviser Roger Ailes, on Ross
                              Perot's suggestion that he needed to go on a
                              'Slim-Fast' diet.]

                              are always visually entertaining.
