Paige gets the bad news about Val from Mac and says that she wishes there
were something she could do. Anne arrives in Paige's office as she is
getting off the phone.  She says that they should learn something from
what happened to Val.  Paige isn't interested in her philosophy.  Anne
says that she wants Paige to come to the wedding.  She remembers when
Paige was in the hospital last season, uh I mean a few months ago, and
she has vowed to herself that they'd be a family again.  Paige says "I
can't be your maid of honor."  Anne says "I just want you to be there.
Can't you comb your hair, brush your teeth and show up... for your
mother?"  Paige says "You're impossible!" and Anne thanks her and leaves.

Claudia and Mort meet Bill and Cliff, two ex-baseball players that have a
proposal for the Sumnergroup.  Mort goes on and on about their careers
and how excited he is to meet them.  They sit down for the meeting and
Paige arrives.  Bill "orders" a cup of coffee from Paige, "very sweet".
Paige gets it for him but ends up dumping a ton of sugar into it and says
"I hope that's sweet enough for you."   Bill realizes his mistake.

Mac helps Gary with arrangements concerning the twins.  He offers to track 
down Lucy and Lillimae.   Gary says he has already told Lillimae but she
is too ill to travel.  He will call Lucy later.  Kate suggests that
perhaps it wasn't Val that died in the car.  Gary says that it had to be
as they found her wedding ring in the debris.  

Bill Nolan proposes a sports complex and they want Sumnergroup funding.
They try to sell the idea to Claudia and Paige.  Mort is totally enamored
with Cliff and Bill's careers and he plugs away for them.

Mac and Gary talk about the twins.  Mac offers his help again.  He asks
about the memorial service for Val and Gary answers that there will not
be one.  Karen, who had been silent up until now, speaks up.  She argues
that they should have a service because the children need to say goodbye.

Bill storms in on Paige and tells her they shouldn't blow such a big deal
over a simple misunderstanding.  Apparently they were turned down and he
thinks Paige was behind it because she was mad at him.  Paige claims that
this wasn't the issue at all.  Bill calls her a snob and challenges her
to go on a tour of LA with himself and Cliff, and then to make up her
mind.  Bill leaves and Mort asks "Do you think you could weasel any box
seats out of him?"

Gary packs up Val's stuff.  Kate comes along and tries to stop him and
suggests he take things slower.  He explodes... then gets a grip and
explains to Kate the circumstances of Val's kidnapping.  He feels guilty
for being mad at her about her long absence.  Kate tells him not to blame
himself and she takes his head in her hands and starts kissing him.  They
meet lips and have a romantic kiss.  Gary backs away, but then grabs her
and they lock up for a long HOT kiss.  Gary backs off again and
apologizes.  Kate apologizes and leaves.

Karen is up in the middle of the night fixing cereal.  Mac comes down and
Karen rambles about a memorial fund as she pours orange juice onto her
cereal.  She breaks down and exclaims "Damn Val!"

Anne argues with Dr. Stern about taking fertility pills.  The doctor says
it is too risky, but Anne insists and even offers to be a guinea pig.
Dr. Stern suggests adoption but Anne will not hear of it.  Anne persists
and Dr. Stern gives in, but warns that any side effects and she must stop
taking the pills.  She writes the prescription.

Mac comes over and argues with Gary over the memorial service.  Gary
apologizes and they talk about Karen being upset.  Gary gives in about
the memorial service.

Anne almost gets caught taking her first pill as Greg walks in on her.
She tries to lure Greg into bed, but he has a meeting in 15 minutes.  He
says that it'll take a lot longer than that to crank him up.  They talk
about the wedding and Greg suggests it may come too soon after Val's
death.  Anne says it might cheer everyone up.  She pops another pill when
Greg leaves.

Bill and Cliff show Paige a broken down urban recreation center.  Then
they show her the site of where they'd like the new complex.  They meet
up with a bunch of kids they are training.  Paige is impressed.  She takes
the ball and starts playing with them.

Anne visits Mac at his office and asks why he didn't call to congratulate
her.  She says she hopes that he and Karen will come, and bring Paige.
Mac says that he doesn't want to upset Paige and this sets Anne off.
She says "Can't people put their petty differences aside for one minute
just so that I can be happy?!?  It's *my* wedding!"  Mac hugs her and
calms her down saying "It's okay, expectant mothers are supposed to be
tempermental."   Anne confesses the truth about her pregnancy.

Mac offers Anne a seat to talk about things and he asks if Greg knows
that she isn't pregnant.  He points out what a mess it all is and Anne
says "You know, I don't criticize your life, Mac."  Then she says that
she's been walking a tightrope since she found out, four days ago.  mace
encourages her to tell the truth and Anne says she'll just try to get
pregnant first.  Mac says "He's not worth it" and Anne replies "He is to
me."   

Betsy comes to see Karen and asks to stay at home with Meg during the
memorial service.   Karen asks her why she doesn't want to go.  Betsy says
her mom is coming back but Karen insists that she must realize Val is
dead.  Betsy runs home crying.

Paige sells Bill's idea to Claudia, who is obstinate.  Mort is playing
catch in the background with Bill.  Paige explinas how they could be
do-gooders and make money at the same time.  Just then Mort's ball comes
crashing through one of the interior windows.  Mort apologizes and
Claudia says "Need I say more?"

Gary explains to Betsy why she should say goodbye to Val.  He convinces
her that Val isn't coming back and they talk about good memories.

Bill and Paige come home to her place and talk about winning Claudia
over.  Bill says he'll use his charm.  Paige tells him she has a meeting
set up with Greg to work it out.  Bill gives Paige a corny story about
his special baseball and gives it to her to keep.   Paige knows that he
is full of it.  Bill asks if the bedroom is down the hall.  Paige replies
"Why?  Are you going to paint it?"   Bill says "I thought we had
something going here."  Paige responds "The only thing going is you", and
she kicks him out.  Paige smiles behind the closed door.

Everyone meets at the memorial service.  Karen gives the eulogy with the
theme of "The Little Engine That Could".  [Gag me!]  She talks about 
Val's uniqueness and their friendship over the years.  Betsy breaks down
and runs out, and Gary follows after her.

Greg is impressed with Paige, Bill and Cliff's proposal.  Greg and Paige
work over the details of who'll handle what.  Paige says she'll handle
Claudia.  Later, Bill keeps asking about Paige and Greg's relationship.   
He picked up on the cues during the meeting and is jealous.  Paige
avoids the questions and talks about the project.   They make a deal,
Bill will go to Anne's wedding with Paige if she'll go to a baseball game
with him.

At the church Anne is nervously getting ready.  Kate wishes her luck.  No
one has seen Greg.  Elsewhere, Carlos is helping Greg get ready.  Greg
has a crewcut and Carlos says "It looks like you're going to prison."
Greg answers "I *feel* like I'm going to prison" and he takes off.

Paige tells Bill how much she doesn't want to go to the wedding.  Bill
says "I think you should do whatever you want to do and let me do it with
you."   He begins to seduce her.

Karen and Mac arrive at the church.  Karen says "Why are we here?"
Meanwhile Kate has joined Claudia and tells her about Anne's beautiful
white suit.  "She's wearing white?!?" exclaims Claudia, who is dressed
all in black.

Mac checks on Anne.  Everyone is restless waiting for Greg.  Meanwhile,
Greg has gone to Paige's place and let himself in.  He watches at her
bedroom door as Paige and Bill fool around in bed.  Finally, just as
Carlos is about to tell Anne that Greg has jilted her, Greg returns to
the church.  "You look great Babe! [she really did]   Whaddya say, you
want to get married?"   Anne says "Why not?"   He says "Let's do it."
They head down the aisle arm in arm.
