   Well I'm back and survived the gas company fixing my leak.
After spending an hour with the guy telling me *he* didn't
smell anything and couldn't find anything, he took one more
look around and sure enough discovered a leak near our
furnace. Boy did his attitude change then!

  On to our storylines for Tuesday ...

     Story A: Mail Order Bride (Glo and Adam)
     Story B: Crazy No More (Dix and Brian)
     Story C: Happy and Sad Endings (Tead and Nola)

Story A
   The show opens with Glo looking into her mirror while
twirling her wedding dress. In comes Adam to tell her she
is making a mistake. She tells him to get out that he
shouldn't see her in the dress. He says: "Why Stuart's
the groom, I'm just the man you love."
   Glo orders him out, but he tells her he thinks she
looks exquisite in the gown. Myrtle comes in and threatens
to get her shotgun. Glo tells her she can handle Adam and
Myrtle leaves reluctantly.
   Glo and Adam go back and forth about who she really
loves. Glo says he doesn't know what she wants - she
wants Stuart. Adam says he has a direct line to what she
covets. Glo says her direct line is to what is in this
painting and she points to a painting that Stuart did
of the two.
    Adam says that will be a boring life and she won't be
happy. He tells Glo that what she really wishes is that
those two people in the picture were her parents so that
she could have the courage to live the life she really 
wants  - with him. 
  Glo says she will not be happy as some kept pet of his.
Adam says she misunderstood him - he doesn't want her as
his mistress, he wants to marry her.
   Glo wants to know when he decided that. He says the first
time they danced at the fundraiser. He tells her she should
marry him so she can have the security she needs. Glo says
she can't be the picture herself as the perfect society wife.
Adam suggests she could do anything she wants including opening
the Gloria Marsh Chandler Aids Institution. Glo looks tempted.
She turns toward the mirror. Adam comes up behind her and tells
her they belong together. He says she needs to make a choice.
   As Adam starts to kiss her, she pulls away and tells him to
get lost. She asks him how his Father of the Year act would hold
up if she were to go into the courtroom and testify to his
seduction attempts.
   Glo asks Adam to imagine all eyes in the courtroom on her
as she tells everything. Adam warns her against it. Glo says
it will swing the judge to Dixie's side. Adam threatens that
his lawyer will make her look like a lying manipulative slut.
Glo can't believe he just proposed marriage and yet he would
let his lawyer do that. 
   Adam says she can't get up there and lie about she feels
about him and that will mess everything up with Stuart. Glo
says she hates his guts and starts to slap him. In walks
Brian who has just returned from Dixie's and an encounter
with Ms. Young.
   Brian offer to throw Adam out. Adam says if he does that
will hurt Dixie's case. Myrtle comes in and says Adam is
trespassing and Brian shouldn't throw him out the door,
but the window to save himself some trouble. Brian then gives
Adam grief about Jr. who was very happy to see him earlier
and how Jr. wanted to play soccer. Brian says Adam must be
to old to play or to stupid.
   Adam says Brian is the one who is stupid for having violated 
the judge's order to stay away from Jr. He storms out. Glo
looks concerned.


Story B
   At the beginning of the show, Opal is being comforted by
Palmer who says he thought she and Dix were over Tad's
death. Opal says you never get over it and he wouldn't want
her to forget her love for him. In come Dix and Jr. with a
vegetable tray.
   The doorbell rings. It's Brian. When he realizes Jr. is
there, he offers to leave. Dixie stops him. She says she
needs to tell him he isn't dealing with a crazy person.
   Dixie tells Brian her theory about Ted Orsini being a
lookalike for Tad. Brian seems very happy. Brian says he
has to go but he hopes Dix can tell Jr. how much he misses
him. In comes Jr. who wants to know why he hasn't seen
Brian lately. Everyone dances around the issue. Brian
says he will spend time with Jr. as soon as he can. he lifts
Jr. up to say goodbye when the bell rings again.
   This time it's Ms. Young who says she can see it's a
bad time for the final evaluation. Dix tries to explain
Brian's presence. Ms. Young still has the cork up her ...
and tries to say the judge's order barring Brian is for
Jr.'s sake. Dix explodes and tell Ms. Young what she
thinks of her. Palmer jumps in and offers to show Ms.
Young the door. He tells her she has the sensitivity of
a mullosk.
   Ms. Young says: "Well, I never ..."
   Palmer says: "No I don't suppose you have, otherwise
     your face wouldn't be pinched like that."
  Plamer throws her out. Opal says he shoulnd't have
said those things. But Dix is beating herself up about
asking Brian to say. She figures Ms. Young is making a
beeline for Adam or the judge. She says she wishes she
had let Palmer kill Adam when she had the chance.
   The phone rings and it's Ruth who says Mrs. Orsini (see
next stoyrline) has had a heartattack and she is asking
for Dixie.Dixie promises to come as soon as she drops
Jr. back at Adam's.
   When she tells Jr. it's time to pack to go back
to daddy's, he throws a fit and refuses to go.


Story C
   The show opens with Nola frantically trying to tell Tead
about Dix. But he won't let her talk because she is so
distressed. Edmund comes in and Tead tries to get him to
help her to calm down. Nola says: "Listen to me!"
   Tead still tries to calm her. Nola says he has to know.
Tead looks over at the heart monitor as it goes straight
line. Edmund leaves to get help.
   In comes Dr. Blue Jeans to the rescue. He uses paddles
as Tead watches from hallway. They bring her back. Tead is
still very upset. 
   Later, Edmund gets Tead to the chapel. He says they should
just sit and talk. Tead says he can't lose his mother. Through
a series of flashbacks, Tead describes his first meeting with Nola.
She passes out upon seeing him, gets him to tell his story
when she comes to and then announces he is her son.
   Another flashback shows Nola trying to fix Tead up with a
Carrie someone and his attempts to avoid it. There is a 
tender moment shown with a pillow fight.
    Dr. Blue Jeans comes in to tell Tead he can see his mother
now. In Nola's room, Ruth is tenderly wiping Nola's forehead.
Nola comes to. Ruth says who she is. Nola weakly says Dix's name.
Ruth says she is coming. Nola says she wants her son. He's
coming too. Nola looks happy but in pain.

   That's it for this Tuesday ....
