  Friday Update - October 9, 1992

  Dolly and Ed (the motel owner) are chatting at the diner when Skylar &
  Warren drive up.  They explain that they are looking for evidence that
  may clear BJ and would like to see the room where she and Frank were
  staying but Ed says it's just been rented - flash to BJ entering the
  motel room.

  Jodie is unpacking in a hotel room when there's a knock on the door.  It's
  Micah come to stay.

  Kelly invites McCabe in while still in his Elvis persona and he actually
  gets her to laugh.

  Warren and Skylar talk to Ed about the water bill.  They seem to feel 
  that since BJ claims she was in the shower for two hours that there
  just might be a difference in the water bill because of the increased
  usage.  Ed says his wife takes care of all that but he's willing to
  help in any way he can.

  Micah tells Jodie that she was very lucky to find a two bedroom suite
  for the two of them.  She explains that she has no intention of sharing
  her suite with him and he reminds her that they were suppose to be 
  coming to Boston together to look for Sawyer and Aurora.  He tells her
  that she's so caught up in finding Sawyer that she seems to have forgotten
  that his daughter is also involved and that he has just as big a concern as
  does Jodie.  Jodie relents and allows Micah to stay.  Micah wants to 
  know why Jodie seems more concerned than normal about finding Sawyer and
  she confesses that she's afraid that Sawyer may have seen BJ murder Frank
  which is why he ran in the first place.

  Aurora and Sawyer get into a minor arguement about his fighting and she
  confesses that she's homesick for her father and Santa Barbara and the
  life they had there.  She's afraid they may never be able to go home
  again and Sawyer tries to comfort her as best he can.  She says she's
  so homesick for news that she called all over town trying to find a
  S.B. newspaper and finally tracked one down and will be picking it up
  tomorrow.

  Skylar and Warren somehow have managed to convince the motel owner, Ed,
  to let them go to the room where BJ and Frank stayed.  They knock on the
  door and there is no answer.  The door is unlocked so they go in.  BJ is
  in the shower and has a flashback to the night of the murder where she
  sees herself in the shower holding the gun and washing it.  She comes
  out of the shower and sees them and Warren wants to know how she got
  there.  She tells him he forgot how she lived for the last year and then
  accuses him of not believing her.  He tries to defend himself telling her
  that he and Skylar are there to find something to backup her story.  She
  takes offense at the word *story* and tells Warren that he doesn't believe
  her.  Ed walks in with the water bill and BJ questions why they want the
  water bill.  Warren explains their reasoning but after looking at the bill
  realizes there was no change from one month to the next.  BJ attacks again
  with the fact that no one believes her.
  Skylar and Warren are in the car with BJ driving back to SB.  BJ is acting
  very defensive, like a petulant child.  Warren keeps trying to convince
  her that they want to help but she won't believe it and finally tries to
  jump out of the car.  Warren standing outside the car tries to get BJ to
  see reason.  Skylar says that nothing will be solved here and BJ finally
  agrees to get back in the car if they will take her to Kelly's.

  Back at the room where Sawyer and Aurora are staying there is a knock on
  the door and Aurora assumes it's SAwyer.  She opens the door with the
  latch still on and sees the stranger who sticks his hand in through the
  open door.  Aurora bites him and he pulls free.  Through the now-closed
  door he tries to explain that he thought she was his cousin's friend.

  Micah asks Jodie is she has any sort of game plan for finding the kids
  and her brilliant idea is to scour the city block by block.  Micah thinks
  that's a rather naive idea for a cop and she wants to know what he can
  come up with.  He suggests going to the Italian something (didn't catch
  the word) because they could hide there easily.  He also says that they
  could easily find jobs waiting tables, that sort of thing.  Jodie tends
  to think that Sawyer would do what he knows which is boxing.

  Kelly has fixed a little bite to eat for herself and McCAbe.  She's 
  starving and he says that's because she was too stubborn to eat at the
  Oasis.  He asks why she's so resistant to him and she responds that 
  while deep down she knows he's just doing his job but she continues to
  see him as the enemy.  She blames him for the greatest love of her life
  leaving, Cruz.  She doesn't think it's appropriate for him to be making
  any overtures to her.  He defends himself saying he has no ulterior 
  motives, he doesn't want to just get her in bed.  He believes in the
  ritual of courting and he's not into games and he's not into getting his
  feelings hurt.  Kelly asks if she hurt his feelings.  Yes, says he.  I'm
  sorry, says she.  Thank you, says he.  They chat a bit more and Kelly
  does seem to suggest that there might possibly be some slim chance that
  they could be more than enemies and McCabe picks up on that as a definite
  maybe.  Kelly tells him to go home because all that gel in his hair is
  affecting his brain.  There's a knock on her door and the trio from the
  desert arrive.  McCabe leaves and Skylar, Warren and BJ all seem rather
  surprised to even see him there.  Kelly says, don't ask.  Warren explains
  that BJ wanted to come and BJ asks Kelly just exactly what kind of proof
  did Cruz have that convinced him that BJ murdered Frank.

  In the hotel room in Boston Jodie is on the phone with, I assume, boxing
  promoters.  Micah is sitting on the couch listening as Jodie is her
  usual acerbic self and ends up being particularly abusive and hangs up
  on someone.  Micah comments on her "lovely touch" and suggests that
  perhaps he should try the next one.

  Aurora believes that the stranger didn't want to hurt her and feels guilty
  for biting him so she invites him in and fixes him a sandwich.  He's just
  over from Naples and they hit if off pretty well when Sawyer comes in and
  finds them in what he considers a compromising position and punches the
  guy.  Aurora gets Sawyer calmed down and they all become friends and
  offer the fellow the comfort of their room.

  Jodie is on the phone with yet another fight person when Micah walks in
  and it looks like she's found someone who knows Sawyer as "Luke the Duke".
  J & M are exited and he picks her up and whirls her around the room.

  Kelly is confused by BJ's request and isn't quite sure what to do.  She
  looks at Skylar who subtley nods to her indicating that she should tell
  BJ the truth.  It was her dress, Kelly tells BJ, that made Cruz believe
  she was guilty because he found powder burns on it and the trace of a
  soap only used at the motel that was found on the gun.  BJ is taken aback
  and lashes out at everyone telling them "I hate all of you" and runs out
  the door.  Warren is angry and goes after her, "That's it" he says.

  McCabe walks in on Ed and Dolly at the diner and Dolly is beside herself
  beause she's convinced "The King" has just walked through the door.  McCAbe
  identifies himself and wants to know what BJ Walker was doing there earlier
  that night.

  Warren catches up to BJ on the beach and she's staring out at the water,
  crying.  Go on, go in he taunts her.  Go in the water like you did at
  the Capwell mansion only this time I won't save you.  He accuses her of
  thinking so little of herself that he doesn't even care anymore.  He's
  tired of being beaten over the head for trying to help her and trying
  to understand.  All the people who love her and care about her are tired
  of her continual rejection of them.  He tells her she uses her abuse like
  a weapon and sticks it in people's face till they feel so uncomfortable
  they feel helpless.  He accuses her of being a spoilt, ungrateful, self-
  centered little girl.  She slaps him.

  Epilogue - Warren

  I don't know what to do.  On one side there's all the evidence that points
  to BJ that she really did kill Frank and on the other side there's BJ
  swearing that she's innocent.  But is that because she really is innocent
  or because she's convinced herself she is.  Before I do anything I have
  to figure outwhat I believe before it tears us apart.
