A Tale of Two Brothers (and One Angry Lawyer)
---------------------------------------------
At Wildwind, Jack visits Dimitri and Edmund and tells them that the Marick 
brothers have made a habit out of ruining women's lives -- Brooke, 
Erica, and Angelique.  Dim and Ed listen as Jack rants and raves.  Ed 
admits they were wrong -- but its the past.  Dimitri leaves for a meeting 
in New York (see below) and Ed stays to talk to Jack.  [This was kind of 
boring...]


Adam Gets His Day in Court
-------------------------- 
At Dixie's, Gloria, Stuart, and Brian and Dixie are playing with Junior.  
Dixie and Brian are dressed for the trial.  The doorbell rings -- it's the 
press, who rush in and ask Jr who he wants to live with -- his mother or 
father?  Opal, Palmer, Livia and Tom arrive and throw them out.  Stuart 
suggests to Dixie that it is time to tell Jr what is going on.  Everyone 
agrees but Dixie.  Livia convinces Dixie that it is NOT 100% they will win.

Later, Dixie sadly tells Jr that he may have to live with Daddy.  Jr says 
he doesn't want to live with Daddy -- he wants Mommy!  Dixie patiently 
explains that no matter what he will always have two parents.  Jr seems to 
accept this.

Later, Junior stays at home with AnLi and Terrance, while everyone else 
leaves for court.

Meanwhile, at Adam's, Brooke walks into the mansion and tells Adam that he 
can STUFF his subpoena.  Adam taunts Brooke and gets her to admit that Dixie 
went "after" Edmund, too.  Adam tells Brooke not to worry -- what good is 
the testimony of one unfit mother about ANOTHER?  Brooke slaps Adam -- and 
Hayley, who has been watching from the staircase, says, "Boy!  Did you 
deserve THAT!"  Brooke apologizes to Hayley, but Hayley just tells her, 
"Next time, aim lower!" and leaves the house.  Brooke tells Adam that the 
BEST thing for Dixie is her friends -- Tad may not be around, but her 
friends will protect Dixie like he was!  Brooke leaves.

At the courtroom, everyone gathers in the lobby.  Ruth, Opal, and Brian 
tells Adam they will NEVER say anything bad about Dixie.  He will NEVER get 
Adam Jr!  Jack arrives with Edmund (who was also subpoenaed).  People take 
turns telling Dixie they will stand up for her.  Brooke says, "Justice will 
be served!"  [uh-oooooh.  Kiss of Death time!]   [cliffhanger]


Ted/Tad and Mommy Dearest
-------------------------
In New York, Ted/Tad tells the mystery woman (?) he is read to go back to 
California.  She wants to stay in New York, but Ted/Tad says he has been 
unable to sleep since they started trying to reach Dimitri.  "Are you 
having THAT DREAM again?," the woman asks.  "Yes, over and over." Ted/Tad 
sighs.  The woman hugs him and tells him she loves him.  

They mention a man named Brewster, and how Ted/Tad protected the woman from 
his "business venture."  Later, Dimitri arrives and Ted and Dim talk 
about the wonderful "product" that comes from Ted's family's company -- 
Orsini Vineyards.  Ted introduces Dimitri to the "brains" behind the 
family company -- Nora Orsini, Ted's MOTHER!  [If only Ruth and Opal 
knew.... :-)]  Nora insists that Ted should take credit -- her son is 
responsible for introducing the best selling wine in the country!  

Nora and Ted tell Dimitri they are interested in having Marick Industries 
distribute their wine on the international market.  Dimitri apologizes for 
being "out of touch" recently, but a friend has been seriously ill.  Nora 
tells Dimitri to never give up hope --miracles DO happen, her SON is proof!

Later, we see Dimitri and Ted haggling over the "deal."  They wrap it up, 
and Dimitri says he has to make a call to Pine Valley.  Ted/Tad gets a 
funny look on his face and has a "flash" of a scene from PV.  "Darling?!  
What is it?" asks Nora.  [cliffhanger]


ONE YEAR AGO TODAY
------------------

At Enchantment, Hayley is upset that she had to learn the "news" of
JaNut's pregnancy from Jeremy. Will comes in and tells Adam he needs a 
"crash course" in Teenagers -- he sure doesn't know how to treat Hayley!
Later, Will asks Hayley out on a date and Hayley accepts.  

At the Prison Hospital, Nat has come to see JaNut.  JaNut tells Nat she
has news about the baby -- she has decided to HAVE IT.  JaNut tells Nat she 
will have it ALL - Trevor, the baby, everything she wants.  She has won!  

At McKay's, Mimi has started her job as a waitress.  She lasts only a few 
hours, then she quits.

In the closing scene, Trevor receives a note from Nat.  She and Timmy
are going away.  Nat needs time alone to "think about her life."  And,
by the way, she still loves Trevor....



That's all for today.  It sure was NICE to see all those scenes with 
Ted/Tad!!!  [Hey, what's all this net-talk about his hair?  I don't care 
if he was BALD -- at least he is BACK!!!  :-)]

hmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm, "Tadsky's back in town,".....[Thanks, Mary Allison!]
