Sorry, Kid, You're Getting Left Behind Again: starring Bo and Viv with
              supporting roles by Caroline, Ivan and Shawn-Douglas
***********************************************************************

Bo is at the Alamain's.  Viv is stalling about why she picked up Carly
from the convent.  Bo says she can tell him now or he can just camp on
her doorstep for the next 20 years, it's up to her.

Vivian tels Bo that "Katarina" was in a crisis during the period he's
talking about.  She had just broken up with Lawrence and her life was
in a shambles.  Bo says he knows that why she *went into* the convent,
but he wants to know why she *left*.  Viv says Carly was distraught,
she couldn't stand to see her that way, and offered to take her to Paris
to convalesce.  The nuns were well-meaning, but they really couldn't
help Carly in the way she needed.  Bo asks if after Carly recovered, was
that when she went to college?  Viv says she thinks so, but she didn't
see Carly again after she left her house.  Bo says he believes there
is more to the story and thought she'd be able to tell him.  She can't
very well tell him things she doesn't know, can she?  Bo says he'll find
someone who does know then.  Ivan comes in with a phone, it's a call
about Lawrence.  Viv pointedly asks Bo to excuse her.  It's someone
from the environmental conference, wanting to know if Lawrence has left
yet.  Bo asks if the seminar is in Lake Tahoe by any chance?  Viv says
yes, that was the man who organized it.  Apparently Lawrence and Carly 
are going to share a podium.

Bo asks if Larry has left yet, but Viv doesn't know.  Bo takes off for
the door saying that Larry has to be stopped.  He stops in his tracks
when Viv agrees with him.  Viv says she loves Larry and she adores Carly,
but they just don't belong together.  Bo, on the other hand, fills an
emotional need that Larry couldn't - he is just the kind of man that
Carly needs.  He should go and fight for her and not let Larry get in
the way at all.  Bo says he plans on leaving on the next plane.

At the boat, Bo is packing.  Caroline comes in.  He explains that he's
going after Carly.  Can she look after Shawn-D?  She says of course,
but don't forget about Shawn-Douglas's birthday, it's Wednesday.  Bo
says they'll be back in plenty of time.  He's got to get to Carly and
protect her from Lawrence.

He slams down the phone - all the flights to Tahoe are booked until 
tomorrow.  Caroline tells him to be patient.  Bo says Larry could be 
there by now and Carly has no one to protect her. [Excuse me, but didn't
she do just fine before she hooked up with Bo?  They showed her as a 
pretty independent woman, up until recently]  Caroline suggests that
Carly can manage fine on her own for one night.  Bo doesn't trust Larry,
he wants to get there before Larry hurts her again.  Shawn-D comes out
of the bedroom.  Lawrence would never hurt Carly.  He likes her.  He
likes her a whole lot.  Bo looks even more worried.

Viv is spraying her orchids when Ivan come in.  She needs his help.  What
are the particulars about this seminar?  Ivan says he knows as much as
she does, apparently Lawrence made his own travel arrangements.  Isn't
Carly going to be there?  Viv says yes, but Bo's earlier visit will
take care of that.  Ivan remarks that she must be pleased about that.
Viv says yes, but Bo must be watched, he's been snooping around in Carly's
past, and they both know that there is a secret that *must* stay buried.

Caroline thinks maybe Bo should explain to Shawn-Douglas about Lawrence.
S-D asks if Lawrence is a bad man.  Bo says he's not a nice man.  He
likes Carly, but Bo and Shawn-D, they love her.  Carly belongs with them,
they are her family.  Does Shawn-D understand?  He says yes, but are you
going away *again*?  Bo says yes, he has to go and be with Carly for a
few days.  Shawn-D says he *really* misses her, when will they all be
together again?  Bo says they'll be back in time for his birthday party.
S-D says that is great and they hug. [Give me a break.  Just once, I
want this kid to throw a tantrum or something.  Why don't they just move
him in with Grandma and Grandpa?  Save everyone the trouble of driving
back and forth.]

I Always Wanted a Cow: starring Jack, Jenn, Jo and Vern

   Sub-Plot - Could This Be the Start of a REAL Story for the Good
              Doctor? One Where He Wears Something Other Than a White
              Coat and Gets the Heck Out of That Lounge? starring 
              Marcus and Glynnis
**********************************************************************

At the Ask Dr. Love set, Jack is on the phone with Marcus.  He's getting
worse, and wants to come in and have the tests redone.  Marcus thinks 
it's nothing, just the stress of being on national tv.  Jacks says both
he and Jennifer are wrong, he's coming to the hospital, like it or not.
Jenn comes back with some soda, maybe it will settle his stomach.

Jack drinks the soda down in one gulp and says he feels much better.
Jenn doesn't believe him.  Maybe the stage fright is back.  Jack says
he's not going on stage anymore.  Jenn says yeah, but Jo and Vern are,
maybe it's sympathetic stage fright.  Jack is skeptical but admits to
being worried about Jo.  She can't handle those double-entendre questions.
Jenn says she'll be fine.  Jack replies that it is obvious that Jenn
hasn't ever seen Jo get nervous.  She turns all different colors and
gets a nervous laugh that sounds like Woody Woodpecker after a 3-day
binge.  The show is starting, so they pull up chairs to watch.  Jack
hopes Jenn is right and there is nothing to worry about, but he's really
talking about himself.

Vern and Jo are doing great, they've been in striking distance of Lumpy
and Laurie all along.  Jack says Wally and the Beav or even Larry
Mondello and Whitey could do better.  The final question is "if Vern
were stranded on a desert island with Jo, what special thing would he
ask her to do for him?"  Jo starts making like Woody Woodpecker and
Jack is outraged that they could ask such a disgusting question.  Vern
asks if they can assume that the deserted island has a condo with water
and electricity and all the modern appliances.  Dr. Love says sure,
why not.  So Vern says he would ask Jo to cook for him, she makes a
great green tuna noodle cassarole, it's the most delicious thing he's
ever tasted.  The crowd applauds and they win!  Jack is stunned.
They've won $5000 or they can trade it in for what's behind the curtain,
which could be a joke or $20,000.  Jack screams at the monitor to take
the money and run.  Naturally, Jo and Vern take the curtain.  They win
a cow and a year's supply of limburger cheese.  Jack looks sicker than
ever.  First green tuna noodle cassarole and now limburger - it's a
conspiracy.

Backstage, Lumpy and Laurie argue over why they didn't win - she shouldn't
have brought up his hemmeroids.  They taunt Jo and Vern, who ever heard
of a condo on a deserted island anyway?  Vern and Jo are really excited
about winning.  It's a good thing Vern brought the station wagon to get
all that cheese home.  Don't forget the cow, Jo giggles.  Jenn is really
happy too.  Jack says he can't understand why they just didn't keep
the money.  They saw a chance to make more and they took it.  Jack says
$5000 is a lot of money, they skipped the moola and went right to the moo.
Jo says no use crying over spilt milk!  Everyone laughs except Jack.
Jenn says look at it in a positive way, they'll never go hungry.  Jo
asks Vern when he had her green tuna noodle cassarole.  Vern says he
hasn't, but Jack mentioned it once and he had to think of something fast.
Jo invites him over for dinner one night and she'll make it.  Vern says
he'd like that, a little candlelight, some Sinatra, it would be real
nice. [YESSSS!  Picture me dancing like Snoopy!]  Jack looks on suspiciously
as Vern continues by saying tonight dinner is on him - they're all going
to Wings to celebrate!  Jack sits down and they're all concerned.  He
says he has a pressing engagement and he'll meet them at Wings later.

Glynnis and Marcus are in the lounge.  She's coaching him on the lawsuit.
He says she's been a big help, more than she'll ever know.  She's about
to leave, but turns back.  Does he want to go out after he gets off work
and do something fun?  Try to get their minds off the lawsuit?  He asks
if she's asking him for a date.  She asks if he's accepting.  He replies
that there is nothing he would rather do.  Jack busts in and ruins the
moment.  Naturally, he doesn't even realize what he has done.  Glynnis
leaves.  Jack wants to keep the tests a secret.  Marcus doesn't think it's
worth it, but he'll do whatever Jack wants.  Jack says he's a prince and
Marcus points out that he won't think that when he gets the bill.  Bill?
What about my insurance? says Jack.

Marcus wants to talk in the lounge so he won't miss Glynnis.  Jack asks
how long he has - six months?  Marcus says not even and Jack turns white.
Marcus explains that there's nothing wrong with him, the tests have come
back negative for a 2nd time.  Jack says no, he's sick.  Marcus says it's
all in his head.  Jack doesn't want to hear it.  Suddenly, Marcus is
frozen in time, but Jack isn't.  Jack analyzes Marcus - he's smirking,
he's tilting his head, he's hiding something.  There's his file, all he
has to do is peek in it.  Marcus comes back to life and Jack loses his
chance.  He can get a 2nd opinion if he wants to.  Marcus leaves to see
if Glynnis is waiting for him in his office.  

Jack joins everyone at Wings.  They're all glad to see him and say he looks
much better.  He doesn't want to hear it.  Again, everyone is frozen and
he picks them apart.  They do look guilty.  They're obviously lying to him.
Jenn can't even look at him.  They come back.  Jenn says he suddenly looks
worse.  He says he's fine.  [Sorry folks, but this was just too wierd.  
Jack is neurotic enough already, don't start stuff like this]

Glynnis and Marcus are walking on the pier.  They both love to come here
after a tough day at work.  They both berate themselves for being workaholics
and not being able to hold a conversation that doesn't mention their work.
Maybe they can be a support group for each other.  Glynnis asks if that's
the only bond they have, being workaholics.  Marcus says what's wrong with
that?  Glynnis says that if he'd do a little more research, maybe he could
find some more common ground, and plants one on him.  They're in a big
clinch when she pulls away - is work the only thing on his mind now?  She
walks away and he looks after her, dazed. [Boy, 2 wishes in one day.  
First Jo and Vern, now Marcus and Glynnis.  I like Marcus with Desire too,
but at this point, who cares who it is, as long as he gets someone!  All
those offerings to the soap gods are working]

Vern and Jo have left Wings. Jack asks Jenn if she's upset with him for
not going on Dr. Love.  She tells him of course not, he's more important
to her than a game show.  They have the rest of their lives to go on Dr.
Love if they want to.  He looks thoughtful - the rest of their lives.

Jailhouse Rock: starring John, Danielle, Herr Markel, Commander Rizzo
                and assorted extras in police uniforms
************************************************************************

In Herr Markel's office, Danielle is telling Commander Rizzo that he's got
the wrong man, John is not Romulus.  John tries to make a break for it.
Even handcuffed it takes both cops to restrain him.  Danielle tells him
not to fight, it's only making things worse.  They'll find a way to get
him out.  Rizzo says that there is a room full of evidence on Romulus,
the investigation has been going on for years.  A detective by the name
of Sam Mangino took over the agency after John disappeared and he has 
lots of information on John's activities during the robberies.  Danielle
says that doesn't make sense.  John himself was working on the case right
up until he was kidnapped.  She should know, she's his wife, and she was
with him every second.  He's innocent.  Rizzo says the evidence tells a
different sotry and theirs will never hold up in court.  She says it's
a setup.  Rizzo says no matter what they want to call it, the authorities
have waited a long time for John Stevens to come back and access that
safety deposit box, and now he's going to jail.  The cops drag John away.
Danielle! he snarls.  She calls after him that they'll fight this together.

John is put in a cell.  Danielle tells him there is a way out of this if
they work together.  He asks if she set him up.

John gets taken back to the cell.  Danielle says now that he's given a
statement, the police will realize he's not who they're after.  He again
accuses her of setting him up.  She's his wife!  So she says.  She asks
what she has to do to prove it and he suggests telling the truth.  She 
is telling the truth and she's not going to desert him until the whole
thing is over.  He says he'd like to believe her, but he doesn't, he
just can't figure her out.  She tells him that she loves him and she'll
figure a way to get him out.  He asks how?  These cops have been waiting
8 years - they won't let him off so easily.  She's told him that he was
a detective and he knows he's been a cop, he has cop instincts.  He
knows the law, there's got to be a loophole.  A loophole!  That gives
her an idea and she takes off.

Danielle comes back with Rizzo and another man.  She insisted that John's
fingerprints be taken immediately.  John asks why.  Danielle explains
that she remembered reading that after one of the robberies that the
police found a partial print.  So if his don't match, that proves he
isn't Romulus and they have no reason to hold him.  John is very happy
and Danielle is very pleased with herself.  The prints don't match and
they let him go.  Rizzo tells him that if he so much as crosses the
street against the light they'll pick him up again.  They'll be watching
him.

Back at the hotel, John says he's grateful to Danielle for remembering
about the partial print.  But something bothers him - she was so convinced
his prints wouldn't match.  That's because he's not Romulus, she says.
They wouldn't match even if he was, he tells her.  Stephano changed his
prints and his face - but she knew that didn't she?  She does her
homework, what's wrong with that?  He says not a thing.  She repeats that
she wasn't lying, she didn't set him up.  Hasn't she proven her loyalty.
He calls her Dani and says she doesn't have to try so hard anymore.  He
gets an odd look on his face.  Dani?  Where did that come from?  She 
looks pleased. He used to call her that all the time, she loved it.
He feels more and more that his old feelings are coming back.  She wants
to concentrate on more pleasant things - like picking up where they
left off in the chocolate warehouse.  They can conjur up temptation and
then give in to it.  They kiss.  He pulls back to look at her, and then
kisses her again.  

Danielle breaks the kiss and pulls him over to the bed.  [Help, my tv
is melting!]  They continue, but he stops.  He's just not ready for her
yet.  It's not her, it's him.  He doesn't want to do anything either
of them could regret.  She understands.  She's disappointed but she
understands.  He's a man worth waiting for - just don't keep her waiting
too long.  He looks all hot and bothered.  She gets up.  He will.  Will
what?  Dream of her tonight.  She walks out.  She leans against the door
and smiles an I've-got-you-now-and-I'm-enjoying-every-minute kind of
smile.  On the other side of the door, John looks like he'd like to call
her back, but instead we

Fade to hourglass.
