Thanks to Lois-Anna for switching days with me.  Glad you are feeling better
but just don't overdo it.:)  On to the update:

Ross is at WSPR talking with Holly in her office.  He tells her to stop
harrassing Blake.  We are happy together.  Holly says to hell with your
happiness!  They argue some more and Ross finally tells her I don't care what
the hell you think anymore.  What you should do woman is get a life!  (actual
dialog)  Holly tells him to save the speeches for Blake and Ross storms out of
the office.  Holly yells I'm not thru with you Senator!

Blake is at home when Roger comes in looking thoroughly pissed!  He hands her
the picture of her and Ross and yells what is going on here?  Answer me!!! 
Blake excuses herself to the bathroom as she has just messed on herself.  Just
kidding.  Roger screams my own daughter sleeping with my worst enemy!!  Blake
says you are the one who told me to get close to him.  This is just a trick
Daddy.  To make him think I was on his side.  Roger says are you telling me you
didn't sleep with him?  Blake says of course not.  I would do just about
anything for you but that is disgusting.  Roger says but you aren't wearing any
clothes.  How did this picture get taken?  Blake explains Ross was in the
shower and I took of my clothes and suprised him so someone could take our
picture.  You were counting on me Daddy and I didn't want to let you down. 
Roger says Chrissy, I never meant this.  I could have hired some woman.  Blake
says it wouldn't have worked.  We can use this now to ruin Ross' campaign. 
Roger says no way am I showing this to anyone.  Blake says I don't care.  Roger
says honey start thinking of yourself.  Think about the consequences.  The
carelessness of you leaving these pictures on my desk.  Thank God your mother
didn't see this.  This will just be between you and me.  ARe you sure Ross
didn't try anything?  Blake says no daddy it was just one kiss.  Roger tells
her if he ever tries anything you quit, come to me and I will kill him.  Blake
says the election is only a month away and I need to stay with him.  If Ross
wins then you won't get your rezoning for the towers.  Roger says then that is
fine.  I want Ross to lose but for your future.  I don't want you to have to
fight for things like I did.  You will not sacrifice yourself for that!  You
are worth more than that baby.  Blake is teary eyed and says do you mean that? 
Roger says baby you are my child.  Your happiness means more to me than
anything in the world.  They hug.  (Great scenes!)  Roger then leaves.

There is a board meeting going on at Spaulding.  AM votes to vote on a very
sensitive deal and assures everyone that Alexandra will get a copy.  Henry asks
about Nick and AM says he doesn't want him to know since he is a reporter and
might leak this information.  Vanessa also agrees and everyone votes for it
except Ed who doesn't agree with AM.  They break and AM tells HEnry I wish Ed
understood why I had to exclude Nick.  Henry says oh I think we all understand
and narrows his eyes at AM.  AM tries to get Maureen to explain to Ed but she
says you know how Ed doesn't like secrets. (NOT!)

Billy comes by and asks to speak to Vanessa during her break.  He says I heard
about you and Fletcher and I wish I could say I'm sorry but I'm not.  Billy
apologizes for all his mistakes and gives a speech about we are strong,
independent people but some people aren't.  Billy says the hardest decision
I've made because I want you back more than anything in the world.  It kills me
to have to say this but.  Vanessa interrupts and says your going back to Nadine
aren't you?  Billy says yes, I have to because of the baby.  Vanessa is very
understanding and says of course.  I think you are making the right decision
even though its not what I want.  Do what you have to do Billy.  Billy says I
really wish I could as he looks at her.  Vanessa thanks him for telling her and
tells him to take care.  Billy says you too and they sadly walk away. (Remember
this whole time they didn't yell but in fact were very calm)

Nick goes to Pierre's room in Paris.  He confronts him about working for
Spaulding and shows him a copy of his resume.  Nick tries to find out who he is
working for on special assignment but the guy is very evasive.  He tells Nick
to leave and NIck says fine but I'm not thru with you.  Nick leaves and we see
Pierre hurry and leave with Fletcher peeping around the corner and then starts
to follow Pierre.  Later, Pierre goes to a bar and calls AM at the meeting. AM
tells him he will have to call him back and Pierre explains that Nick has found
him.  He gives AM the phone number and AM starts to his office so he can call
him back.  We see Fletcher sitting down beside Pierre at the bar.  Meanwhile
Nick is in Pierre's room snooping around.  He finds a credit/security card that
says Spaulding Top of the Towers.  Nick smiles and says gotcha.  AM goes to his
office and calls Pierre back.  Pierre explains he didn't tell Nick anything
about the special investigation.  I don't know how he found me.  AM realizes
that the last time he talked with Pierre he heard someone outside his door. 
(IT was Henry in case you didn't know)  Just then Pierre sees Nick come in the
bar and stupidly Fletcher gets up and sits beside NIck.  (WHy didn't Fletcher
just wait to finish hearing the phone conversation and then after Pierre left
he could have spoken to Nick.  This way he has already tipped his hand so to
speak)  Pierre says oh no and describes Fletcher to AM.  AM figures out that it
is Fletcher and tells him to watch out.  Nick tells Fletcher that he found the
card which proves Pierre had been in Springfield.  Fletcher asks how he knew
where to find Pierre.  Nick explains because of an anoymous tip just like what
happened with I was trying to clear my father's name and someone sent me a copy
of Brandon Spaulding's check which was proof.  Fletcher says someone high up in
Spaulding is looking out for you.  (I guess Henry sent the check too.)  AM
tells Pierre I have to figure out who is against me.  He goes back to the board
meeting and looks shrewdly at Vanessa, then Maureen, then Ed and then Henry.

Ross comes in Blake's house.  He says your mother is a vindictive witch. She is
crazy as ever and I think she is going to tell your father.  Blake says too
late he already knows.  Ross is shocked and says are you ok?  How did he find
out?  Blake explains the picture on Roger's desk but tells him it wasn't her
mom.  I made Daddy feel real guilty. Blake becomes real upset and says he was
sweet to me and acted like a father.  I feel so guilty about lying to him. 
Ross tells her he is sorry and comforts her.

Roger goes back to WSPR.  Salina is waiting but Roger yells I want to talk to
you Holly in your office.  They go in there and Roger tells her to lay off
Chrissy.  She is a wonderful, loyal daughter and is capable of generosity that
would astound you.  She needs love and attention from you and I hold you
responsible for her behavior.  Holly asks what is this great sacrifice?  Roger
says it was about a man that she was willing to go to bed with who repulses her
to help me.  Holly starts laughing and asks how did you find out about this
great sacrifice? Roger says a picture and I've already asked Blake about it. 
Holly says oh was Ross with Blake?  He mentioned that he was going over to her
house earlier.  Roger hurries and tries to call Blake but the phone is busy. 
He rushes out the door  to Blakes (he thinks Ross might try to take advantage
of her). Holly smiles and follows him.

Vanessa tells Henry and Mo about Billy's decision to go back to Nadine.  Henry
asks if she is ok.  Van says I'm not really upset.  We had a good talk and I
feel closer to him than ever.  Henry says but its over right?  Vanessa smiles
and says of course not, I'm not giving up on him.  Meanwhile, Ed sees Billy
watching VAnessa outside the door.  Billy explains how Vanessa was so
understanding about the baby and even though I just told her we couldn't be
together I feel closer to her.

Blake tells Ross I am trying to save you.  I'm betraying my own father who
wants to give me everything so you can win a stupid election and then leave me
high and dry just like AM and Phillip.  Ross comforts her and says I'm not
going to leave you.  They hug and Blake says I love you. Ross doesn't say
anything.

Nick and Fletcher tell Pierre that we are going to follow you from now on and
get the person you are working for.

Later, Blake is wearing only a shirt when Roger rushes in saying Ross is on his
way over here.  Just then we hear Ross say I thought you were going to join me
inthe shower and Ross walks out wearing nothing but a towel.  Roger looks at
Ross in disbelief and we see Holly standing in the doorway looking on.  (The
expressions  on Roger, Ross and Blake's face were terrific)

Great Monday show and I can't wait to see what happens on Tuesday's show.
