                       as high as it is wide (1,000 meters high, wide and 
                       long), contains water droplets that weigh about
                       550 TONS, or more than a fully-loaded Boeing 747

Storyline [B]:
-------------

   TayLORski is simultaneously busted by, and introduced to, Unca Derek, 
when her attempt to avoid going on vacation w/T and Luke by "dialing 9-1-1" 
and pretending to be a victim of a hotel room burglary, fails miserably. 

   Derek, unmasking her ploy with a quick series of questions, actually 
cuffs the wuss, eliciting her "full confession". When Luke arrives (T2: 
"Hey, my room was so messy, the maid thought there'd been a break-in and 
called the cops!", T2 finds out Frye is Terry's uncle (!). Taylor follows 
him to the Valley Inn lobby and apologizes, prompting Derek to ask her to 
cut Terrence some slack.

                        Dialog Award Of The Week
                ---------------------------------------

                                Taylor:
              "I promise I'll bend over backwards from now on,
               trying to see things from his point of view."


   Enter Mimi. The three exchange pleasantries, T2 blows Dodge, then the 
Meme-ster confirms Derek's reservations for a trip to Whappa-Whappa City:

   "...I took a long bath, painted my toenails, put some satin sheets on
    my bed...we have a date tonight, Frye, and I'm not talkin' movies,
    and I'm not talkin' bowling...I think you better take me home..."

   Chez Mimi, Derek breaks out a surprise: a fudge recipe from his Aunt 
Minnie. Go figure.
     



Storyline [C]:
-------------

   Charlie "rescues" Mona from Erica's incessant ministrations, by showing 
up and begging E to put on some glad-rags and hit the town. E bites at 
first, protesting that she needs to stay (Mona's 1st day of chemotherapy), 
but Myrtle shows up on cue to play "X blocks the square" (complete w/home 
movies of Linc in Geneva), the third leg of a plot by Charlie, Mona and 
Myrt (!). 

   Chez Nexus, E and Charles are greeted at the door by the new owner, Paul 
Anka..........(yawn)..........then table-schmaltz with some tuxedoed French 
dork named Jean Paul (Claude, Bob, whatever).......next up, Olga, who 
introduces her to The Donald.......(yawn-cubed).....[hey, Claire, fax me a 
beer, will 'ya, it's getting thick in here]... 

   The Dynamic Duo transport back to Pine Valley, stop at the Inn for a 
cup of coffee, and E stops to phone Mona. The Mone-ster fesses up to the 
'evening out' plot, and reminds E how much she loves her. C and E enter the 
dining room and run smack into Brooke and the Mack Daddy.




Storyline [A]:
-------------

   Edmund decides to take "the low road" in his attempt to prove blood ties 
w/Dimitri, and approaches Jack w/Carter's research, which involves 
petitioning the court for exhumation of Hugo Marick's body in order to 
perform DNA testing. 

                           [Gomer Pyle accent: ON]
                   SURPRISE, SURPRIIIIIIIIIISE, SURPRISE!
                               [GPaccent: OFF]

   Air Witch (unknown to Dimitri) rides into Dodge (Jack's office), in an 
11th hour ploy to get the Mack Daddy to drop his lawsuit against Igor 
("poor, fragile, Angelique"). Not. 

   Meanwhile, unknown to Ed, the Brooke-ster pays a surprise visit to 
Igor, in an attempt to brainslap him into acknowledging that Edmund is 
telling the truth about Hugo's will. Not.

   Brooke goes to Plan B, invoking childhood bonds that existed between E 
and D ("you taught him how to ride a bike, you let him ride your pony..."), 
reminding D that while he escaped to prep school, Ed was left behind to 
suffer physical and mental abuse at the hands of BOTH Hugo and Alfred. 
   Ding-Dong! Dimitri's subsconscious answers "the door", and they chat 
briefly about "the good 'ol days". ;) Brooke introduces her "someone else 
took the will" theory, while Helga lurks in the hallway. 

   Ding-Dong! A real-time doorbell. It's TurboLawyer, delivering Eddie's 
Brainslap of the Week (but not before Brooke blows Dodge):

   Dimitri : "You want to dig up my father?????!!!!!
              Are you out of your [fill-in-the-blank] MIND?!?!?!!"

   Igor kicks him out. Helga decloaks: "I heard everything [snicker].
I'm shocked...revolted!"   [And _I'm_ Puff the Magic Dragon.]  :)

   Dimitri transports to the Valley Inn (where B and Ed and E and C are 
dining), and, without warning, smacks the living *S--T* [we're talking 
major blow, here, folks] out of Edmund, knocking him to the ground!   

            FIGHT AT TABLE THREE! FIGHT AT TABLE THREE!

                            CLIFFHANGER!
