The Racial Equality Team [tm] Continues to Fight...
---------------------------------------------------
At the Pine Valley Police Department, Mimi and Derek are admiring the
"redecorating" of the office, thanks to the taxpayers (basically, PVPD
is a new set).  They discuss their $500 bet (that Taylor will pass the PD
exam) when Lucas arrives to see Mimi.  They have to fill out the mortgage
application immediately.  When Mimi discovers what Lucas's income is, [and
that Lucas has sketched a new layout for Mimi's apartment], Derek is
visibly irked and leaves in a huff.  Mimi invites Lucas out for a burger.

Meanwhile, Terrance and An Li meet with Edmund at McCay's.  They discuss
Terrance's plan to become a journalist.  Ed leaves.  An Li and Terrance
discuss why Terr is fighting racism.  Taylor walks up and asks Terrance
about his "angry young black man" routine.  She says she has *rarely*
experienced racism -- Terrance is just a whiney child.

Terrance accuses Taylor of being a rich "trying to be white," spoiled
BRAT.  He tells her that MONEY is the reason she has not experienced
racism.  Terrance angrily accuses Taylor of having her head in the sand
and leaves with An Li.  Derek walks in on a teary-eyed Taylor and comforts
her with a hug.


The Catatonic Enchantress
-------------------------
In the "Rest Home," a semi-conscious (mostly catatonic) Erica is being
visited by Opal [didn't this woman just have a baby??  Why isn't she in
the hospital??  Why isn't she walking funny from stitches??  Who leaves a
day old baby with a Sitter?!].   Anyway, she gives Erica a picture of
Dimitri that has been clipped from a tabloid.  Erica looks at the picture
and clutches it firmly in her hand.  Opal takes this to mean Erica wants
to see Dimitri.

Opal goes to Mona (where Dimitri is also waiting) and finally convinces
her that Dimitri should be allowed to see Erica.

Dimitri goes in to see Erica, who looks at him when he calls her name.
She looks away when Dimitri starts to talk about their love affair.  Erica
looks up again when Dimitri pulls out the huge diamond ring and puts it on
her finger.  Dimitri kisses Erica on the cheek and leaves.  Erica touches
her cheek...

Dimitri goes back and tells Mona that Erica looked at him, but did not
respond.  He isn't sure that Erica recognized him.  Mona tells Dimitri
he had his chance -- now he can get out.  Meanwhile, Erica looks at the
rock on her hand and says quietly, "Dimitri...."  (cliffhanger)

[Figures it would take a Seven-carat Canary Diamond to cure Erica!  :-)]


Ted Wants Proof He is an Orsini
-------------------------------
At the hospital, Lionel talks to Ted. Ted tells Lionel that he understands
why Lionel would doubt that Ted is really Nola's son -- the circumstances
of Nola "finding" Ted were very strange.  [Apparently, when "Ted" showed
up at Orsini Vineyards he gave his name as "Martin Joseph" -- the first
name that "popped" into his head -- which happens to be the name of Nola's
dead husband -- and Ted's father].

Ted tells Lionel that he can't remember ANYTHING before Nola.  Nola gave
him a life -- a sense of who he is.  Lionel is warm and sympathetic.  Ted
tells Lionel about the recurring dream (the one where he is a child and
left alone in a park).  They agree that they should get concrete proof
that he IS Ted Orsini...but they can't put a strain on Nola while she is
in ICU.  They both think it is strange that Nola wants to make a Will --
when she never wanted one before.  Lionel tells Ted about DNA testing, and
Ted reluctantly agrees (after "hearing" Opal's voice singing a lullaby)
that would be a good test to take. (cliffhanger)


ONE YEAR AGO TODAY
------------------
  - Will continues to try and woo Hayley away from Brian.
  - Terrance encourages Livia to admit she wants to date Tom.
  - Nat, Timmy, and Harold arrive back in Pine Valley after spending the
    holidays in Aspen.
  - Nat tells Trevor it's REALLY over; she could never love Janet's child.
  - Terrance is attacked and beaten by two white teenagers in the Health
    Club.


That's all for today!  Thanks to Margaret Gibbs for such a fine Wednesday
update last week.
