AT THE FIREHOUSE

Nadine natters on about getting an engagement gift for Harley and AC.  She
tells Harley that she is thinking about treating them to a hot air balloon
ride, but Harley tells her that she is full of hot air.  Harley demands to
know why she is really there.  _To stop you from making the biggest mistake
of you life!_  Nadine tells her. _I want you to stop this investigation of
your father...right now._  They basically have the same argument they had
over at Nadine's house the other day until Harley gets a call from the VA.
She is trying to get information on other men in Buzz's unit.  Nadine gets
upset at this, claiming that the other men were jealous of Buzz and would 
tell her lies.  They argue some more.  Nadine starts to leave, but then she
comes back because she never did get Harley to tell her what she would like
as an engagement present.  Harley is touched and tries to smooth the waters
with her over the fact that they disagree about trying to find out what 
happened to Buzz.


AT THE BOARDINGHOUSE

Spinner is busy working when Eve comes in and asks if Nick has stopped by.
He hasn't, so Eve goes up to her room.  Next, Spinner sees David dressed in
some new duds, primping for his date with Kat.  Kat comes down to ask 
Spinner for some laundry detergent.  Spinner sees that Kat is dressed like
a slob, so she suggests that Kat start dressing better.  She teases Kat a
little about the date, then wanders off.  Kat sees David and asks him about
his spiffy new jacket.  They discuss their plans for the evening, then he
leaves.  Spinner resurfaces.  Kat tells her she thinks the date will be a
bomb, but she has such a smile on her face that Spinner knows better.


EVE'S ROOM

Eve checks the answering machine, but there are no messages from Nick. 
Someone knocks at her door.  She answers it happily, thinking it's Nick, 
but it just turns out to be some young women she had hired to clean her
room.  


WSPR

Gilly is listening to a tape of the interview with Jenna and is making notes
on it.  Vanessa walks in, looking for Nick.  She recognizes Jenna's voice
on the tape, which contains the bit where Jenna says something about Rog
having WSPR slant the story in her favor.  Vanessa questions Gilly about 
the ethics of WSPR getting involved in the lawsuit.  They are interrupted
by a surprise visit from David.  Vanessa leaves, only after warning Gilly
that Roger has a long history of using intelligent, capable women like her.
David tells Gilly that he got hired to manage the boarding house.  Gilly is
proud of him.  She notices that he has a new outfit on.  He explains that
he has a date and asks to borrow her car.  Gilly is happy that he has met
someone new.  She was afraid that he had been getting interested in Kat. 
David neglects to tell her that the woman he is going out with *is* Kat.


AT THE CLUB

Billy confronts Roger about helping Mindums get out of town.  Roger is 
flippant, so Billy throws him against a wall.  Hamp and Dylan break them
up and drag Billy off.  Safely out of reach, Roger holds up a bottle of
champagne and taunts him about his alcoholism.  Jenna, who saw the whole
thing, comes up to Roger and asks him what the deal is with Mindums. Roger
tells her that she has no reason to be jealous of her, but Jenna protests
that she is merely curious.  She seems suspicious that there is still
something between Rog and the Mimster.  Roger mentions something about 
*our* lawsuit.  Jenna snaps at him, saying that it is *her* lawsuit, not
*theirs*.  Roger purrs _Of *course* it's your case._   He tries to explain
that he has an interest in it only because he is trying to protect her from
that mean, ruthless Henry Chamberlain, who would hurt anyone to make a buck.
_And *you've* never hurt anyone?_ asks Jenna indignantly.  Roger gets an odd
look on his face and says he wonders what she thinks of him.  Jenna thinks
that's funny.  She claims he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him - that's
part of his charm.  _And,_ she adds, _it keeps thing uncomplicated._  Roger
excuses himself and rushes off with all the demeanor of someone whose
feelings have been gravely hurt.

Meanwhile, in the back, Hamp tries to calm Billy down.  Dylan reminds him 
that he could get in trouble with the law if he continues to harass Roger.
Billy yells at Dylan, causing Dylan to go moping off.  Billy tells Hamp that
he'd react the same way towards Roger if Gilly was involved.  Hamp keeps 
trying to talk some sense into him.  Billy sees Vanessa walk in, so he
excuses himself to go see why she looks upset.  She tells him that Roger
is using WSPR to create sympathy for Jenna's case.  Of course, Hamp 
overhears this and hurries off to confront Gilly about it.



AT THE LIGHTHOUSE

Mindums is still bugging Nick about getting back together.  She tells him
that they could be happy again.  Nick gives her a stony look and says
_You're forgetting one thing ... Eve._  Mindums apologizes for walking *n
on him and Eve the other day.  She magnanimously tells him that she didn't
expect him to live like a monk while she was gone, and mentions that even 
though other women were always falling all over him, she knew they didn't
really matter to him.  Nick corrects her; Eve means *a lot* to him.  She
stood by him while he worked through his emotions about Mindy leaving him
and he is committed to her.  _Yeah,_ says Mindums, _but are you in love
with her?_  (I don't understand my notes on what exactly Nick said next,
but he basically dodged the question.)  Mindums reminds him that Eve is 
married.  When Nick informs her of the divorce (Sigh.  I wish they'd bring
back Paul), Mindums has a cow.  She rants on about how St. Eve the Conniving
wanted to break them up.  Nick remains steadfast.  _I am staying with Eve,_
he tells her.  _Whatever we had is over._  Mindums still refuses to accept 
it , saying that she and Nick were like 2 halves of a heart that aren't
whole without each other.  Just as Mindums asks if Nick can honestly say
he doesn't love her, Eve swoops in and gives him a big smooch, oblivious u
to the Mimster's presence.  Nick says hi, dear, guess who's here?! Ooops!
Eve delicately offers to leave, but Nick tells her to stay.  Mindums leaves
instead.  Eve is kind, saying that it must have been hard for Mindums.  It
sure was - she's outside crying.  Nick tells Eve not to worry about her.
He tells her what happened, but emphasizes that he made it clear that he
wants to be with Eve.  Eve doesn't want him to say that just out of some 
sense of responsibility to her, but he reassures her that she is the one
he wants to be with.  They engage in romantic blather for awhile, and then
there is a knock on the door.  It's just someone dropping off some papers
from WSPR.  They resume making out.  Cut to a shot of Mindums looking
forlorn.


AT THE BOARDING HOUSE

Dylan comes over and grouches at Spinner over something piddly.  Then he 
apologizes, explaining that he is upset with Billy.  Hart's name comes
up in the conversation, which makes Dylan jealous.  He questions whether
Spinner still has feelings for him.  Molly comes in, signalling the end of
Spinner's shift.  She tells Dylan now that she is done with work for the day,
she wants to take him on a picnic and help him relax (wink, wink, nudge,
nudge).  They leave.  Mindums comes in and asks Kat, who is now wearing a
slinky black leather dress, if Dylan's around.  Kat doesn't know, so Mindums
tells her to have fun on the date and goes to look for him.  Kat starts 
muttering to herself that David is late and is probably standing her up.  
He comes in and explains that he was late because he had to fill up the car.
They flirt.

Mindums is upstairs.  She walks into a room where the woman Eve hired is 
vacuuming.  She asks if that's Spinner's room, but the woman tells her, no,
it's Dr. Guthries'.  Mindums gawks at the sight of some cowboy boots, 
lingerie strewn on the bed, and a packet of condoms and picture of Eve and 
Nick on the nightstand.  The woman asks if she needed anything else.  
A heartbroken Mindums mutters no, and leaves, tears welling up in her eyes.
