*WAVES OF MASOCHISM ROCK BAY CITY
We open with a disappointed Cass who had hoped to find Frankie at the house 
instead of Dean.  But he is very supportive of the Deanster who tells Cass of
his fight with Jenna, who will probably never talk to him again.

Meanwhile Jenna is sneaking out of her room when Felicia calls out for Lucas.
Apparently he's been out all night.  Felicia asks him if they can put aside 
their differences to be there for Jenna.  He beats himself up for causing the 
whole mess.  Felicia tries to reassure him.  Jenna's a basket case, she needs
someone to blame.  Felicia mentions that Jenna is concerned again with her 
biological daddy--thinking that her behavior must be a "legacy" (warped DNA?)
of his.  We see Jenna eavesdropping as Felicia suggests telling her about their
search for her father.  Jenna demands to know what is going on.

"What do you know about my father that I don't?"  Felicia says that they'd been
searching for months but finally dropped it.  Lucas has a flashback to Mrs. 
LeMott fingering Cass as Gloria's boyfriend.  Meanwhile Felicia is explaining
why they discontinued the search--they weren't finding anything and everything
in Jenna's life was coming up roses.  Jenna says it doesn't matter and comments
that she must come from great stock.  Cass phones, he'd like to get together to
discuss the contract.  They agree to do this.  Jenna freaks when she learns that
they're going to Frankie and Dean's house.  She doesn't want to talk to 
Dean--ever.  Lucas tries to talk some sense into her--finally concluding "You go
and get your coat on because we're gonna go there as a family."

Dean is convinced that even if Jenna comes, she won't talk to him.  Cass says
that's nuts.  He's ecstatic that Frankie is coming back today, "I believe in my
heart that she will come back to me."  Dean is very supportive.  Cass reveals 
that he may have a way to get back at Rick.

The "happy family" arrives.  Cass is hoping that Frankie will return.  Felicia
hugs him and Lucas is not a happy camper.  Dean tries to apologize but Jenna
is uninterested.

Cass goes over the contract with her.  Unfortunately, it's legit.  It covers
everything, plus Rick has exclusive and sole distribution rights.  Cass explains
that sadly, this situation isn't atypical.  (He also mentions that Jenna is of 
age and she didn't sign under duress).  They can't get him for breaking and 
entering.  Cass says they can go after him but it will be difficult.  Jenna 
jumps up and yells "It's my fault!"  Cass tries to reassure her--innocent people
get set up all the time, but Jenna makes an indirect snipe "smart college girls,
I don't think so."  Dean and Lucas start fighting about who's going to get Rick.
Cass suggests that maybe Lucas can get something on Rick.  The phone rings--it's
the maitre 'd who wants to eject Rick from Tops.  Dean decides to do that 
himself.

The "happy family" plus Cass try to buck up Jenna.  Lucas insists he's to 
blame, he even starts to tell her about Cass.  "I can't deal with another thing
Lucas".  Lucas starts to tell the remaining adults when the windchimes sound.
Cass leaps up ready to dash to the airport.  Felicia says no that would be the
way the old Cass would behave.  And takes him for a walk, leaving a disgusted
Lucas behind.

*DENNIS IN DANGER/KELSEY VS DARRYL (RD 300) (More masochism)
John comes out of ER looking for messages, he sees Marley.  All of the sudden,
a frantic Iris and Spencer come rushing in.  "Where's my boy?  I want to see 
him!"

Dennis is in the recovery room--we get a recap of his accident.  His prognosis
is good but the next couple of hours will be critical; he'll have to fight.
Iris is terribly upset, Spencer does the strong shoulder bit.  She thinks she's
a terrible parent, Spencer consoles her.  Meanwhile Marley is talking to John,
and wonders what it's like to have your child in danger.  John reveals that 
there are complications--Dennis was bleeding profusely.  Kelsey comes over and
after Marley walks away, asks John some questions about her and her relationship
with Dennis.

Dennis is moved into ICU.  Iris wants Kelsey to let her into see Dennis.  Kelsey
is short with her.  Darryl comes out and practically oozes all over her "You 
must forgive Kelsey, it's hard for her to remember her own name these days."  He
mentions that she's taken on an extra job.  John overhears.  Too late, Iris 
freaks "Why is Kelsey Harrison on my son's case!"  John calms her down.  Kelsey
comes out and tells them that Dennis was conscious briefly last night and called
to Marley.

Iris is with Dennis, talking to him (he's unconscious), telling him that she 
loves him and that he has to pull through.  Spencer starts to leave.  Iris 
suggests that he call Ryan "You never know what might happen".  Outside Spencer
asks John about Dennis's condition.  They talk about family and faith.  Inside
Iris is breaking up into tears.

Kelsey brings John a message from Jamie--"Go Home".  He does.  Kelsey calls 
Darryl on his attempt to badmouth her.  Uncle Spencer walks in and says she's
working too hard.  We also learn that she's planning to room with Grant's
assistant (Samantha?).  They have a Stroehmann Family Moment.

*RICK DARES TO BE OBNOXIOUS
Rick drags his sister Sally into Tops.  Sally does not want to be there.  They
bicker and Rick throws some brochures at her and tells her to pick out a car.
His ship has come in (we see a copy of "Wild Child"--Jenna's movie).

Sally is picking at her food.  "You don't belong here."  She gets upset and 
dashes out.  The Deanster dashes in and drags Rick out to the terrace, who 
screams "Assault!".

Dean seems intent on killing Rick when Jenna rushes in "Dean, Stop!"

*AND THE DADDY IS...
Marley has gone home.  Olivia is there--they had scheduled a breakfast.  Marley
explains about Dennis.  Olivia is upset (not hysterical but disturbed).  Marley
notices.

Olivia is visibly anxious.  Marley talks about Dennis.  Marley casually mentions
that marriage and family might be exactly what he's looking for.  She also 
points out that Dennis really doesn't think he has any reason to live.  Olivia
looks even more troubled.

They arrive at the hospital.  Marley goes to see Dennis, and Kelsey comments 
that it's a boost for patients to have people who care nearby.  Marley is 
somewhat short with her, "Of course I care, he's Jamie's best friend)."

Iris is upset, Marley comes over.  She's glad Marley was there for Dennis.  
Marley makes a point of mentioning that both she and Jamie care.  Iris goes off
to see the specialist.  Olivia goes to look through Dennis's door, "I'm here
for you Dennis just like you were here for me."

*FRANKIE?
John and a screaming Gregory are coming home.  The door opens to a table set for
dinner.  There's food on the table, "Frankie!"

Cass is at the house with flowers.  Windchimes are blowing.  "Frankie is that 
you?"

*DENNIS LOOKS LIKE THE NOT-SO-LUCKY WINNER
Olivia is staring at Dennis when Marley says she's going to find Jamie.  She 
talks about the baby, "I guess in the face of all this tragedy, that baby has
a whole new meaning for me."  "I know exactly what you mean." (UH OH).  Marley
leaves and Olivia goes inside the room.  She flashes back to the night of the 
conception.  Dennis bought her a drink, listened to her troubles, was 
supportive.  The inference is that a good time was had by all.  We reach the 
here and now.  She reaches out to caress his cheek.  Freeze frame.  Roll those
credits.
