-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The show begins exactly as it did last Thursday with Jack and Jennifer
putting on coats and getting ready to leave the Horton house [at first I
thought I was watching the wrong episode!].  Alice asks if this is
another practice run.  It isn't.  Jack and Jenn are on their way to
Maggie's farm to pick up her antique crib.  When they open the door to
leave, there stands Jennifer's father (Bill) on the doorstep.

Bo and Carly are at the boat getting ready for their respective work
days.  Bo is telling Carly that he's used his P.I. contacts to locate
fertility experts [give me a break!].  Carly isn't interested in going to
a fertility expert.

A messenger arrives at the Allamain house and delivers a birth
certificate to Lisanne.  When Lawrence comes into the room, Lisanne
questions him about the servant who had the baby.  Lisanne reiterates
that Lawrence wants to make sure that the servant has no claim on the
Allamain fortune.

In Venice, John, Isabella and Brady are just returning from a day of
sightseeing.  Hayley comes in and takes Brady away for a bath.  Isabella
comments that Hayley really seems to care about Brady.  John is concerned
that they may have overdone it with such a long outing for Isabella. 
Isabella tells him it was a wonderful day.

                          --------------------

At the Hortons' everybody is asking Bill what brought him to Salem.  He
says he thought it was about time for a visit.  Tom comes in to join the
reunion.  The conversation turns to Jack and Jennifer's living
arrangements.  Bill says he stopped by their apartment only to find
they'd moved out.  Jack tells him their current situation is only
temporary.  Bill asks Jennifer to come with him -- he's brought presents. 
When they get to the hallway he wants to know the real reason Jack and
Jenn are living with Jenn's grandparents.  Jennifer reveals that she and
Jack are having money problems.

Over on the boat Carly is telling Bo there is no point in seeing another
doctor.  Bo wants her to try.  Carly says she doesn't want to get hurt. 
Taylor arrives and she and Bo depart, leaving Carly brooding.

In Venice, Isabella is ashen white.  John is giving her a pain killer and
suggesting she sit down.  Isabella asks him to stop fussing.  She says
she feels Venice is her home and she thinks that Brady will remember
having been here.  John says he will remind him.  Isabella says she's
counting on that to comfort Brady when he's wondering why his mommy left
him before he got a chance to know her.

Back in Salem, at University Hospital, Marlena accidentally interrupts a
therapy session between Roger Lombard and his new therapist, Dr. Reynolds
(the door was open and she didn't realize there was a patient in the
office).  She's brought a list of her patients for him to see while she's
in New York.  Dr. Reynolds leaves the room and Roger questions Marlena
about her trip.  Marlena observes that Roger is upset.  He says he relies
on her support.  Marlena tells him that if he needs support he should go
to Stella.  She turns to leave and Roger grabs her arm.

At the Hortons, Julie arrives as Bill prepares to make a "sweeping
announcement."  He says he has a cottage in town.  Julie starts to say
something, but Bill cuts her off and continues, saying he bought the
cottage when he and Laura were first married.  Jennifer thinks it sounds
perfect.  Jack appreciates the offer but says they can't accept it. 
[After commercial] Bill asks Jack to reconsider.  Jennifer says she'll go
along with her husband.  Jack says they won't take charity, that *he'll*
be the one to support his family.  Bill tells Jack that he'll understand
after he's had a child that you never stop being a parent.  Jenn is still
his little girl, and he wants to help out.

At the hospital, Marlena tells Roger she wants him to let go of her --
and she doesn't mean just her arm.  Just then Stella arrives with a
message from Maggie about the Arts Council benefit.  She tells him the
proceeds will go to a drug rehabilitation center and says that Maggie
would like him to print his painting of the old farmer and his wife
because it reminds her of American [pause, thinking] Graphic.  "It's
Gothic, Stell, a modern American classic by Grant Wood."  Marlena tries
to make light of Stella's mistake by saying that she always does that
herself; those words are so similar.  Stella says she guesses she should
stick to what she's more familiar with -- clerical work, and leaves. 
Roger says to Marlena, "See what I mean?  What kind of support can I get
from someone so out of touch?"  Marlena is firm when she tells him he
should involve Stella in his work and that he should work his problems
out with his wife.  We see Stella come out of the shadows as Marlena
leaves the office.

In Venice John is brushing Isabella's hair.  Isabella says it's heavenly
and John tells her it's going to get even better.  Just then Isabella
hears her favorite song coming from outside.  John has arranged for the
serenade.  They go out to the balcony and John begins to sing (in
Italian).  He gets down on one knee.  Isabella is crying and laughing at
the same time.  John says he probably butchered the song but that
Isabella knows what he means.  She tells him this is the most wonderful
thing anybody has ever done for her.  Then she rewards the singing
gondolier by taking a rose and throwing it down to him.  John and
Isabella begin to dance, then look toward the sky and Isabella's star. 
John tells her that wherever they are in the world that he and Brady can
look at that star and know Isabella is with them.

Back in Salem, Lisanne is on the phone with someone in Paris saying she
wants this person to find Marie Helene Fortier.

At the hospital Carly learns from an elderly woman that the medvan isn't
coming to her part of town.  Carly says she'll add that area to the
route.  A nurse tells Carly that's a very bad area.  Carly says that
shouldn't keep the people live there from getting medical attention.

Stella arrives at the police station with a plastic bag in her hand.  She
sits down at her desk and takes out the contents -- a book about the
history of art.  In the Roman's office Bo and Taylor are complaining
about filling out reports rather than working on vice.  Taylor asks about
Bo's home problems.  Bo thanks her for her interest but declines to
discuss them.

In Venice, John and Isabella are still dancing but Isabella seems very
weak.  John helps her inside and wants to call the doctor but Isabella
won't let him.  John says he wants her to level with him and not protect
him.  She says it's too late for that.  He says he wants to be there for
her.  Isabella tells him she feels like she's slipping away a little more
every day.  The pain is stronger.  She's feeling weaker.  She says she's
glad then could come to Italy when she was strong enough.  Hayley comes
in with Brady.  Isabella hold him as the music begins again.  John takes
both of them to the balcony to enjoy the music.  Isabella is seated now,
with Brady on her lap.

At the Hortons', Bill tells Jennifer that he takes responsibility for the
difficulties that occurred when Jenn was growing up, sending her off to
boarding school and all.  Jennifer says she paid him back by being a
rebellious teenager.  She apologizes for not realizing how sick Laura
was.  Bill tells her that she really has paid him back ... by becoming a
fine young lady [or something like that].  He urges Jack and Jenn to take
the house.

On the balcony in Venice, Isabella talks to Brady about her childhood and
points out a garden where she and her sister Marina used to play.  She
talks about her grandparents and her mother.  "My mommy's name was
Loretta and she died when I was a little girl."  She stops and says she
meant only to talk about the happy times.  She says the greatest blessing
of all was falling in love with John and giving birth to their baby. 
"That's why it's so hard to leave you."  She continues, "I know you're
not the kind of man who can be happy alone."  Roman replies, "I think I
know what you're trying to tell me."  "I'm telling you to be happy
again," says Isabella.

Back at the Hortons', Jennifer is saying "no" they won't take the house
when Jack suddenly decides they will -- but on his terms.  He won't let
Bill give the house to them; he'll have to sell it to them.  Bill says
it's a deal.

At the Allamain house, Lisanne has just heard from the Fremont plant,
which is in a terrible part of town where there are gang wars and such,
that someone saw *their* medvan in the area.  She's complaining to
Lawrence that this will mean more insurance payments, but Lawrence isn't
listening.  He rushes out of the house saying Carly could jeopardize the
whole project.  Lisanne strokes Zeus and comments, "Well that tactic
failed."  A phone call from Mr. Duvall perks her up.  He tells her he has
found Nikki's mother.

In Venice, John helps Isabella back inside, then asks it it's okay if he
takes a quick shower.  Isabella says he doesn't have to watch her all the
time.  John says he wants to watch her for as long as he can.  Isabella
says she's fine.  "I'll be right here when you get out."  "You better
be," counters John, "I won't be long."  When he leaves the room, Isabella
climbs onto the bed, obviously in great pain.

[After commercial break] we come in on a conversation (in French) between
a woman and her daughter, Nickie.  The phone rings.  It's Lisanne.  The
woman is Marie Helene Fortier.  Lisanne says she wants to talk to Marie
Helene about the adoption of "the boy" and about some paperwork that
Vivian wants her to sign.  Marie Helene asks why she is contacting her
and why Vivian would want to see her now.  She asks if Lisanne knows
about her arrangement with Vivian.  Lisanne doesn't say.  Instead she
says that Marie Helene doesn't really need to talk to Vivian; this can
all be handled between the two of *them*.  She wants to know how soon
Marie Helene can come to Salem if she (Lisanne) pays all the expenses.

At the Hortons', Jack and Jennifer finally leave to go to Maggie's farm. 
They comment that a rainstorm is expected.  [Gee, I wonder what that
tells us.]  Bill goes back into the living room and Julie asks what the
decision on the house was.  Bill tells her that Jack and Jennifer agreed
to take it.  He wonders now if he should have let them have it.  Julie
tells him she wouldn't have said anything about its unusual past.  [Does
anyone remember what its unusual past is?  Or is this going to be another
newly invented past?]  Bill apologized for having cut Julie off earlier. 
Julie says no one need know (about the house); it's best forgotten.

In Venice, when John comes out from his shower he finds Isabella
collapsed on the bed.  He discovers that she's burning up.  As he holds
her he moans, "Not now, not now baby."  [Fade to hourglass]
