Erica "Remembers" Romance With Charlie
-------------------------------------- 
At Linden House, Erica and Charlie are discussing Erica's plan to 
"torture" Dimitri when Igor arrives for a visit.  Dim says he wanted
to see how Erica was feeling.  Erica tells Dimitri that everything is 
wonderful -- she and Charlie are planning to live together in Linden 
House.  Suddenly, Erica "remembers" something about Dimitri's Hunting 
Lodge.  Dimitri looks hopeful as Erica tells him it reminds her of the
quaint place she and Charlie escaped to in Big Sur.  His face falls
when she relates what a warm, romantic, sexy time she and Charlie had
that weekend.

Erica leaves the room to take a phone call, and Dimtri swears [again] 
to Charlie that he will GET ERICA BACK.  He Charlie he must leave 
Erica; Charlie says he is not willing to do that.  Chuck says he is
rather enjoying all the attention from Erica.  Dimitri leaves.  Erica
tells Charlie that the revenge is moving more quickly than she 
thought. 

Erica tells Charlie to be careful that he really doesn't fall for 
her again; after all, "it would only be natural that you WOULD."
[CLASSIC Erica! :-)]  Charlie sarcastically says he will certainly 
TRY to resist Erica's charms.


Dixie Suffers a "Sandwich Short of a Picnic" BREAKDOWN
------------------------------------------------------
At Dixie's home, Adam Junior is throwing a snit about not wanting to 
go back to Adam's house.  Adam arrives, and Jr. refuses to go home with 
him.  Adam bribes Junior, saying all his software and games arrived 
today and he should go home tonight to play them.  Adam promises Jr.
a chocolate milkshake and a new video if he leaves with Daddy -- *and*
he can ride home in the Limo!  Junior thinks this is real cool and 
decides to go back to the mansion.  As Junior leaves, Adam hisses to 
Dixie that she will NEVER turn his son against him!

Palmer, Opal, and Dixie accuse Adam of bribing Junior.  They argue, 
and Adam leaves after insisting that Junior will grow up to be JUST 
LIKE HIM -- a GREAT man!   Adam leaves and the phone rings -- it's 
Ruth, asking Dixie to come and see Nola Orsini.  Dixie says she will
be right over.

Later, driving in the car, Dixie sees Junior's Teddy-bear on the seat 
and starts crying.  "My baby...my babeeeee...," she wails.  She stops 
the car.  As cars go by her and beep, Dix picks up the bear and 
cradles it.  "Tad...I Need You..." she says, as she "flashes back" to 
a scene that was apparently the day after Tad rescued her form Oak 
Haven.  She sits in the car and cries and cries....[cliff-hanger]


Get Those Hankies Ready, Folks....
----------------------------------
At the hospital waiting room, Dr. Bearded-Blond tells Ted and Edmund 
that Nola has suffered a VERY major heart attack.  Meanwhile, Nola 
asks Ruth about Dixie.  Ruth promises to go find her, just as Ted 
decides to go and see his mother.  (Of course Ruth and Ted miss each 
other by two seconds...).  Nola sees Ted and insists that he stay 
RIGHT HERE in the ICU with her.

Nola tells Ted that SHE is coming.  Nola says that Ted was happy before
he "came back" to California -- she knows this now.  Ted tells Nola to 
STOP talking; if he was happy before, he will be happy again.  Nola 
goes on, speaking in broken, pained sentences, saying that she "knows 
so much -- they took care of you -- GOOD care of you -- you REALLY are 
MY son -- ..."  Ted says he knows he is her son; that was their miracle.
"She is here -- Dixie -- I found her -- she is HERE..." Nola continues,
then the Heart Monitor goes beserk.

Meanwhile, Brooke arrives, looking for Edmund.  She finds him and says 
she was worried when she heard he had rushed to the hospital.  Ed tells
Brooke that he is worried about Ted's mother; he thinks she might be 
dying and wants to be there for Ted. 

Later, Dimitri goes to visit Brooke and tells her that Edmund has 
"really changed."  In fact, he is in therapy with Dr. Tolan.  Brooke is 
surprised and impressed.  She wonders why Ed didn't tell her himself.

Back in ICU, Nola's Heart Monitor is going BEEP! BLEEP! BEEP!  Steven 
rushes in and makes Ted leave, as Nola clutches her chest and whispers, 
"Dixie....Ted....".  

Ted goes back to the waiting room and tells Ed that Nola is fighting 
for her life.  Ed decides to go on home.  Ted prays out loud to God
to please save his mother's life -- she deserves it and after all, 
they just FOUND each other again!  [This was VERY sad...]  Ted looks 
around and realizes that the waiting room looks familiar.  He "flashes 
back" to seeing Dixie in a hospital bed (same flash that Dix had) and 
realizes that he has been in Pine Valley hospital BEFORE!!!  
[cliffhanger...]


ONE YEAR AGO TODAY
------------------
In his hospital room, Terrance picks the bigots that beat him up out
of a mug book, and Galen confirms the two thugs were already arrested.

At Enchantment, Hayley informs Brian and Adam that she intends to go
to New York with Will that night.

Brian goes to see An Li, and they both hear Len Mi tell An that she
will soon be returning to Malaysia.

Adam tells An Li he knows a very simple way to stay in the US -- just
marry an American Citizen!

Gloria tearfully admits to Craig that she was raped the night before.

Will arrives at Gloria's apartment to find his money clip just as Craig
vows to KILL whoever raped Gloria....



That's all for today.  Be sure to keep your tissues handy for 
tomorrow's show.  It's starting to look pretty bad for Nola...... :(
