                        [Ky-LEE]  Genuine Irish "hip-hop". Interesting.





Storylines [D,F]:
----------------

   The Porkchop's college transcripts arrive (very high average - pizza 
must be brain food), talk of an advanced (law) degree takes flight, and 
Trev immediately jumps Tweetie ("What? My being a cop not good enough for 
you??!") for trying to upset the status quo. 
   Tweet-Meister: "The daily grind is getting to you; change directions. 
I want you to be happy; is that so wrong?" 
   Trevor: "Well...maybe I'll go get some books, later..."
   Tweetie bops over to an end table and whips out some gigantic 
"Preparing for the LSAT" books. Gotcha!

   Ding-dong! Lucas. Working with NewNat on a children's center; there 
for a meeting of the minds. Porkchop transports to work, and Luke, in 
addition to discussing plans for day care space additions, gives Nat the 
4-1-1 on his hots for Mimi. 

   Later in the afternoon, Lorraine Bailey, APPARENTLY AN OLD FRIEND OF 
NAT'S, drops by! And I don't think it's for tea, folks... :) 




Storyline [B]:
-------------

   Derek gives Mimi the "3rd degree" down at police HQ over her lip lock 
with Luke chez Reed the other night. Mimi swears up and down that there 
is not, has never been, and will never be anything between her and Lucas.
               [And wild bears don't fart in the woods.]

   The word "caveman" comes up in reference to Derek's behavior, and Mimi 
declares Luke's actions (and parting kiss) a "class act". Derek declares 
war ("I'm not going to let him get away with it!"). Mimi declines the 
gambit, reminding him whoEVER she chooses to see is her business in the 
final analysis and "you better get used to it". 
   See Frye fume. Fume, Frye, fume.

   More arguments concerning his "macho past". Derek delivers an 
"ultimato": "Either you're 100% mine, or it's OVER. Believe it."
   Mimi: "Your love or my freedom??! That is NOT a dilemma I have to face 
in 1993!"

   They agree to split-up as Trevor and Lucas (there to take Mimi to 
brainslap the housing discriminators) arrive on the scene. Behind closed 
doors, Trevor advises Frye to give Mimi some space, and Unca Derek agrees 
to do just that...just in time to see Luke and Reed waltz out of the 
police station together. 

[Will Derek turn to Taylor, thus subconsciously brainslapping, ahem,
 "two stones with one bird"?] 



Storyline [E]:
-------------
  
   At the detective agency, Tink clues in Charles about a mystery 
cellular call she received on her way to work, from a woman who claimed 
to have spotted Lorraine "The Tongue" Bailey. She tracks down the tip to 
an airport, but on closer inspection, the suspect turns out not only to 
be someone else, but someone who was so ugly, she'd "have to sneak up on 
a glass of water". [OUCH! That's seriously "cold"!] 

   Hayley: "She was a D-O-G, and she (indicating height) came up to here, 
on me...I bust my hump all day looking for a 'goddess', and wind up with a 
'nightmare gnome'...Squat-Ola'." 
   Chuckles transports to the hospital to give Jack the bad news.



Storylines [A,C]:
----------------

   Simultaneously, and only a few doors apart from each other, Ta/ed 
explains to a still-bed ridden Mrs. O. that the visions he keeps having 
(choking Billy Clyde Tuggle) relate to saving the woman he loves (Dix), 
while in the hospital lounge, Jack tries to assure Dix she's not going 
bonkers, and that her sighting of Tad was something "she needed to see". 
              [And that wasn't a "run-on" sentence. :)]

   Dix explains that the sighting wasn't in her head, but in the park. :))
   Jack: "Well, THAT'S where you needed to see him; close-up...where he 
could help you..."  [Just how large IS Jack's retainer?? :)] 
   Dix: "...what does all this say about Brian and me??"
           [Whatever it's saying, it sure is _loud_, huh, Dix?]
  
   Jack: "With a heart as big as yours, don't you think you can care for 
two poeple at the same time? Hey, sometimes memories don't let US go."
[Which triggers an instant HornyFlashback in Turbo of MysterHo (Lorraine).]
   Bottom line: in spite of the "visions", he foresees no custody 
problems for Dixie. 

   Chuckles shows up to tell Jack to save his money re: LB and call off 
the hunt, and Dix goes to see Mrs. O., but is rerouted to another patient 
before she can open the door and spot Ta/ed. [NEAR MISS #35]
   Nola begs Ta/ed to "make peace" with his memories. Ta/ed: "I'm 
comfortable w/the emotional stuff, but...these _people_...". More BCT 
flashbacks, and this time BC's name is remembered. Ta/ed transports out 
to find Billy Clyde, and thus, his mystery woman.


[  A half-hour later (PVT) Ta/ed, in his search for clues, winds up at 
 the offices of Brent & Chandler (Valley Investigations)! He asks Tink if 
 she's a secretary, and is promptly cabbage-patch slapped ("...full 
 partner, guy"). :)  
   Ta/ed expresses reservations about turning over the case to someone so 
 young (and cute). 
   Tink: "Don't worry, sir. We may be eccentric, but we're brilliant!"  
                      [Good line for a business card.] 
   She gets him to stay and wait for Charlie, and tell the whole "memory-
 loss" story in the meantime. ]



   Nola's final will is witnessed by her lawyer, Dr. Blue Jeans, Galen 
and Dix. Everyone bops out, and Dix stays behind to hand over Ta/ed's 
wallet. She and Nola chat about the custody case; Dix whips out some Jr. 
pictures, and Nola spots a snapshot of ---that's right, cadets--- TAD! 
Someone's finally bought a vowel! 
   Nola: "Who is this man??"
   Dix:  "The most important man in my life. The one I was going to 
          marry; or REmarry...he died..."

   Cut-to HUGE grin and happiness on Nola's face! He lives!

   CLIFFHANGER!
