Liz's Long Winded Update for Wednesday, August 26, 1992

*The Lockridges*

Lionel and Gina wake up in bed together, cuddling, until Gina opens 
her eyes and realizes who she's in bed with.  She shrieks and pulls 
away from him, falling on the floor.

Lionel tries to be attentive and affectionate, and is somewhat confused 
when he realizes Gina is upset.  He wants to talk about what a 
wonderful night they've spent; she tells him it wasn't part of the deal.  
Their relationship was about Channing and setting up a family for him.  
Lionel wants to know what she's afraid of.

Gina denies fear.  He tells her it's obvious something is wrong.  She 
says last night was when something was wrong; she was crazy.  She 
certainly was, he agrees, and begins going on about her uninhibited 
passion from the night before.  She silences him, but not before it sinks 
in, a little, what a tremendous compliment he's paying her.  She tells 
him it can never happen again; she doesn't want to spoil their 
relationship.  He says it can only enhance it.  "When sex gets involved 
in the relationship, it's doomed," she tells him desperately.  She runs to 
dress for work, then turns before she leaves the room.  "You 
understand, don't you?" she asks, her eyes pleading with him.  "This is 
the most stable, caring relationship I've ever had, and I'm not going to 
mess it up so we can have a few incredible nights together."

"So you do admit it was incredible," he presses.

She pauses, her gaze desperate and sad.  "It can never happen again," 
she tells him, and flees.

Lionel paces the room, somewhat crestfallen, and is joined by his 
mother, who wasts no time saying "I told you so."

Minx wants to be honest with Lionel, who tells her she only uses the 
word "honest" when she wants to come down on Gina.  She tells him 
Gina only wants their money, and that Lionel's too nice to realize that.  
Lionel tells her they were beginning to build something.  Minx points 
out that Gina ran out in a panic the morning after they'd made love for 
the first time.  ("How do you know?" he asks her.  "I checked with Cal 
Tech and they told me there were no earthquakes in the area last 
evening.  So it must have been something else that was shaking the 
chandelier downstairs."  "I *knew* we shouldn't have taken that suite 
over the dining room!")  Minx says  that indicates a total lack of 
commitment.  Lionel tells her she's wrong, that Gina loves him, that 
she's just confused because of all the lousy relationships she's had.  
Minx presses, and he finally tells her Gina slept with him because she 
was jealous.  Sarcastically, Minx asks him if he's planning to make 
Gina jealous every time he wants to sleep with her; then she realizes, 
incredulously, that he's considering it.

*The Jailbirds*

It is morning, and they are all a bit worse for wear.  Angela is pacing 
the cell, watching her three companions sleep.   She looks from Ted to 
Warren and says "From being married to a respectable judge to these 
two.  If Daddy could only see me now."  Irritable, she wakes Warren 
by pouring a glass of water over his head.  He wakes up calling BJ's 
name, and asks Angela in horror if they got married.  She says no, they 
didn't.  "But I do feel I owe you something for giving me such a 
wonderful evening," she tells him, and slaps him across the face, hard 
enough to send him staggering.

Angela berates Warren for the events of the previous evening, her 
raised voice waking Ted and Katrina.  He wants her to keep her voice 
down, rubbing his temples; she's outraged.  "You've just humiliated me 
for the umpteenth time," she shouts in his ear, "and you expect me to 
be *considerate* of your HANGOVER?"  He apologizes for hurting 
her, saying he didn't mean any of it to happen; she won't let him off the 
hook.  "You intended to stumble down the aisle and marry me so you 
wouldn't hurt your precious BJ.  You don't give a damn if you hurt me 
or not."  He objects, telling her he was drunk and confused about his 
feelings.  "I think you should clarify that," she says, the barest hint of a 
wobble in her tight, sarcastic voice.  "Your base feelings for me have 
never been confused.  You're referring to your complex and sensitive 
feelings for BJ."  Faced with how much he's hurt her, Warren 
apologizes to her for not considering her feelings, but that's all he 
can say.

"I don't think they're meant for each other," Katrina whispers to Ted.

The constable comes in and tells them they're free to go, once they pay 
a $975 fine.  Warren leaves to make a phone call to get the money, and 
Katrina charms her way into a brief moment of freedom to go to the 
ladies room.  Ted and Angela are left in the cell alone together.

Ted observes that clearly she wasn't marrying Warren to make him 
jealous.  He witnessed the whole exchange; she's really hurt.  She 
denies she really wanted to marry Warren, that she knew he'd never go 
through with it.  He asks her how she ended up at a church.  She asks 
how he ended up there with "the ice princess."  But he and Katrina had 
been planning to marry for a long time; she and Warren had split up.  
"Obviously there are still some residual feelings," she says coyly, and 
allows Ted to believe she and Warren made love after he found her 
handcuffed.

Warren returns, having taken care of the fine.  Angela gives him her 
car keys and tells him to drive back alone; she'll hitch a ride with Ted 
and Katrina.

In the car, Angela interrupts Ted and Katrina's billing and cooing with 
a declaration that riding in the back seat gives her violent, nauseating 
headaches.  Katrina tells Ted to pull the car over so she can switch with 
Angela.  "I don't want you to be throwing up all the way to LA," 
Katrina tells her.

Now in the front seat, Angela observes Ted's discomfort with 
amusement.  He claims he's annoyed because they're lost; she thinks 
it's more than that.  He worries about Katrina, and Angela points out 
she's asleep.  She turns off the radio so they can talk.  She wants to 
know why he was in such a rush to marry Katrina.  He tells her he is 
scared of Angela.  She's exciting, and sexy, and she's getting in the 
way of what he needs.  He says he needs stability in his life.  "I want 
stability too," she says, "when I'm 90."  She tells him she thinks he's 
doing it for his father's approval.  Ted denies it, but she reminds him 
that he told her he'd left town to get away from his father and put some 
adventure in his life; and here he is, less than a year later, just where 
he'd been before.  She asks him if he really wants to lose all that 
excitement and risk.  "We had all that, Ted," she whispers, and starts 
kissing him.  "I'm trying to drive," he babbles.  "So am I," she replies, 
and moves closer to him.

Angela and Ted are going at it unreservedly, when Ted suddenly looks 
up and screams.  He jams on the brakes.  There is a crash...

*The Walker Bunch*

In the living room, BJ calls Warren's number, and hangs up when she 
gets his answering machine.  Jodie and Reese enter, and Jodie tries to 
get BJ to sit down and talk things out.  BJ says they have nothing to talk 
about.  Jodie wants to explain, but BJ's not interested.  "I don't want 
you to ruin my life again," she angrily tells her mother.  "I'm moving 
out."

Reese tries talking his daughter out of it, but BJ says everything in the 
house reminds her of Jodie, and she doesn't need constant reminders of 
someone who betrayed her.  Jodie tries the level-headed approach, 
asking BJ to try to understand, but BJ is beyond level-headed.  Jodie 
has no regard for her feelings, she believes; her mother has destroyed 
any chance she might have had with Warren.  Jodie wants BJ to 
understand why she did what she did, and takes her daughter's car keys 
to try to make her stay and listen.  Jodie tells BJ she needs professional 
help to deal with what she's been through, and a relationship with 
Warren is the last thing she needs.  BJ says she's heard that already 
from Warren; isn't it interesting that they said exactly the same thing?  
Jodie tells BJ Warren agreed with her.  BJ believes her mother is lying.  
"You've lied to me all my life," she says angrily.  "You lied to me 
about how you cared about me, and how Frank was such a great guy."  
Before Jodie can respond to this, Reese breaks it up, and takes his wife 
into the other room to talk, telling BJ not to go anywhere.

BJ paces the living room, stiff and anxious.  There is a knock at the 
door; it's Lilly, coming to ask after Sawyer.  BJ tells Lilly she's sure 
Sawyer's fine.  Lilly, aware that something's up, asks how BJ is, and 
BJ says she's fine.  When Lilly asks if there's anything she can do, BJ 
asks if she can move into the gatehouse with her.  

Lilly agrees, a little confused and concerned about why BJ wants so 
badly to get away from her family, especially with Sawyer in trouble.  
BJ packs together a few things, and she and Lilly leave.  Reese and 
Jodie emerge from the back of the house just in time to see them drive 
away.

At the gatehouse, BJ and Lilly get acclimated; BJ tells Lilly she'll help 
with the bills, and Lilly warns BJ about her weird family.  Lilly gently 
and tactfully tries to find out what's upsetting BJ so much; BJ, visibly 
tense, keeps changing the subject.  BJ finally lets on that her mother has 
driven away the only man she's ever loved.  Lilly is somewhat 
astounded to discover the man in question is Warren Lockridge.  She 
tells BJ that Warren and Angela left town the night before to get 
married.  BJ simply doesn't believe he'd actually marry Angela; and, 
disregarding Lilly's advice to get on with her life, storms out of the 
house.

*Gina's Little Business*

In the Capwell conference room, the marketing guy is telling Ty and 
Gina that they need one model for the public to identify with Gina 
Jeans.  Lilly comes in and tells her mother BJ's moved in, and that 
she's a little worried about her.  Gina says that doesn't seem to be all 
that's bothering her; and Lilly confides that her job, as exciting as it is, 
doesn't make up for what she feels is lacking in her life.  The marketing 
guy interrupts their little tete-a-tete, telling Gina they need to make a 
decision on the campaign and the model ASAP so the ads will be ready 
for the Christmas rush.

The marketing guy tells Gina they need a model who has more than a 
sense of style.  "An independent spirit so dominant it jumps out of the 
ads," he tells her.  Gina thinks Lilly would be perfect.

*At the Paper*

Warren arrives home, disgusted with himself and how inconsiderate he 
was of Angela's feelings.  He can't believe he'd actually considered 
marrying Angela.  "God, give me strenth to stay away from BJ."

"No."

It's a voice from the doorway; he turns to see Jodie.  "That's the worst 
possible thing you could do right now," she tells him; and he looks at 
her, incredulous and confused (as are we all).

Jodie shuts the door.  She tells him a romantic involvement is not a 
good idea, but that BJ needs him desperately as a friend.  "That's a 
very fine line to draw," he tells her, visibly uncomfortable.  Jodie 
thinks BJ needs him to survive, since she's turned away from her 
family.

Warren, understandably, becomes a little annoyed.  He tells her he 
almost married Angela the night before, to make sure he couldn't do 
anything to hurt BJ.  He tells her it wasn't fair of him to do that to 
Angela, just like it wouldn't be fair for him to let BJ believe there could 
be something between them, which is what she'd think if he ever saw 
her again.  Jodie tells him thinks he's the only one who can convince BJ 
to get the professional help she needs.  Warren considers that, visibly 
conflicted.  "Jodie, you're her mother," he says seriosly.  "This is very 
hard to say to you, but I know how I feel about your daughter, and I 
know the way she says she feels about me.  And I really don't know if I 
trust myself around her right now."  Jodie looks at him sympathetically.  
"For BJ's sake, you're going to have to," she tells him, and leaves.

*Back at the Walker's*

Jodie gets out a box of Polaroids and starts looking through them.  She 
finds a recent picture of Frank and BJ and starts ripping it to shreds.  
Reese comes into the room and embraces her as she starts to cry.

*Back at the Conscience*

Warren is ransacking the place for a bottle.  Instead he finds Rachel 
Ann, BJ's doll.  He lifts it gently and stares at it, lost in thought.  When 
he looks up, BJ is standing in the doorway.  Their eyes meet...


*Preview*
 Warren, beautiful but with too much gook in his hair as usual:

"I care for BJ a great deal.  I think I may be in love with her.  But I do 
agree with Jodie, her mother.  I have to stay away from her for her own 
good.  But I can't leave her, because she needs me.  But I can't be with 
her because she wants me.  I don't know what to do."
