-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today's episode focuses on the days of Jack and Jennifer; Marlena, Roman,
John, Rebecca, Kim and Phillip; and Carrie, Austin and Billie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack walks into the house just as Jennifer is on the phone asking Julie
if she's heard from Jack.  Jack wants to know if Jennifer is checking up
on him.  "What did you do, forget your wallet?" inquires Jennifer
sarcastically, "You couldn't be coming back to be with me."  Jack says he
should have told her where he was going this morning and says he's been
at the bankers', none of whom will give him a loan.  Jack comments on how
high the electric bill will be if Jennifer takes to leaving the lights on
all night.  She says she couldn't sleep and was up all night reading. 
Jack says he couldn't sleep either and that he could see the light from
the bedroom from the guest room.  "Why didn't you come to bed?" Jennifer
wants to know.

Billie and Austin are arguing about what they're going to do.  Billie
wants to know when Austin is going to tell Carrie they're leaving.  He
tells her to back off.  There's a knock at the door.  It's Carrie who
comes in bubbling about the writeup about the fight in the newspaper. 
"We should get it framed.  Maybe Julie would blow it up."  Then, "What's
wrong?  Is Gus threatening you?"  "No," replies Austin, "everything's
okay."

At the courthouse Kim breaks down as the judge rules that she will be
remanded to the sanatarium today.  [After commercial] Marlena asks to
address the court.  The judge agrees to let her speak.

Meanwhile Jack is apologizing to Jennifer saying he couldn't come to
sleep with her last night.  Jennifer insists that they have to talk.

Jenn:  I hurt you and I'm sorry.  I never should have presumed to help
       you, but I was just trying to make you happy.

Jack:  You think I can't succeed on my own.

Jenn:  Who *can* succeed on their own in this world?  You bought the
       SPECTATOR with family money.  You didn't earn it.  Why can't you
       take money from my father?  Do you know what I was doing all
       night?  I was reading your proposal and it's terrific.  If you
       could just put aside your pride you could run the best paper in
       town.

Jack:  That's a moot point ... it's pie in the sky.

Jenn:  Dad was interested in the proposal.  That's why he wants to give
       you the loan.  You can succeed on your own.  Why don't you give
       yourself that chance?

Back at Austin's apartment, Carrie wants to know if Austin really isn't
worried about Gus.  Austin assures her he isn't -- that Gus could only
ruin his boxing career and since he's not going to fight anymore "what
could he do?"  Carrie is amazed that Austin can be so cool.  Austin
gushes over Carries openness and honesty.  Carrie asks when they're going
to the cabin.  When Austin doesn't say anything, she says, "You forgot to
pack?  I'll give you a couple of hours.  It'll give me time to buy
something special."  At the door, Austin kisses Carrie and assures her
he's looking forward to tonight as much as she is.  When Carrie is gone,
Billie tells Austin he's a fool not to be afraid of Gus.  "We're supposed
to be leaving town  ...  what's so special about Carrie?  ...  you've
been in love plenty of times before ...."  Just then Austin notices
there's a message on his answering machine.  It's the message from Tim. 
Billie panics and says they've got to leave.  Austin won't go.  He says
he won't leave Carrie to face the wrath of her father when everything
comes out.

At the courthouse Marlena waxes eloquent on the importance of treating
multiple personality disorder in a very specific and very individual way. 
She says the sanatarium isn't equipped to deal with MPD.  She stresses
that confinement can exacerbate the problem.  The personalities become
frightened and will stop at nothing to set themselves free.  "If you send
Kimberly to the sanatarium you send her to hell with no way of escaping." 
The prosecuting attorney (Rebecca Morrison) protests.  Mickey fights
back.  The judge says that questions have been raised that the court
can't ignore and that he'll reconsider and have a decision after lunch.

Back to Jack and Jennifer:

Jenn:  Just think about Salem if the SPECTATOR survives.  What
       difference does it make where the money comes from?  What matters
       is what you do with the newspaper.  Can you at least think about
       that?

Jack:  Yes.

Jenn:  I have to go to a meeting now.  I'll take Abby with me so you can
       think.

Jack:  No, don't do that.  I'll think better if she's here.

Jenn:  You're a good father and I'm proud of you just for that.  [They
       kiss and hug.]

Jenn:  Why do I get the feeling you're not so angry with me anymore?

Jack:  I can't stay angry with you for any length of time.

Jenn:  I really love you, Jack.

Jack:  I love you, too.

Jenn:  So maybe tonight I'll sleep better.

Jack:  Then again ... maybe you won't.

Jenn:  I think I can handle that.

Jack:  Good.

Jennifer leaves.  Jack picks up some papers.  The doorbell rings.  It's
delivery men with the furniture Jack ordered when he thought his book
would sell.

Next we have a brief glimpse of Carrie in a lingerie store selecting a
nightgown for her getaway with Austin.  The sales clerk assumes it's for
her wedding night and wishes Carrie lots of happiness.

Everybody from the hearing has now gathered at the Brady Pub.  Roman and
John both congratulate Marlena on her speech.  Roman walks away and
Phillip comes over.  He's blaming himself for the situation because he
saw the signs of Kim's problem long ago.  Marlena assures him he's not to
blame just as Kim approaches.  Phillip turns his attention to Kim.  They
notice that Rebecca Morrison has come into the pub.  John goes over to
her.  She says she'll leave.  John asks her to stay.  Roman returns and
tells Marlena that Tim has had a visitor -- Austin.  He vows to get to
the bottom of all this.  He's going to break Tim and get him to name
names.

Jo has arrived at Jack and Jenn's as the furniture is being moved in. 
Jack tries to send the furniture back saying it's the wrong color.  The
delivery men say custom made furniture can't be returned.  Jo says she'll
help pay for it.  Jack won't hear of that ... he'll handle everything. 
[After commercial] Jack suggests he'll pay $200 now, the rest later. 
That won't do; the company requires full payment.  Jenn arrives and says
she'll pay for it.  Jack isn't thrilled with that idea either.  Jenn
pleads with him to let her do it.

Meanwhile Carrie has returned to Austin's apartment where she's asking
Billie if she's mad at her because she wanted Austin to win.  [If Billie
answered I don't remember what she said ... sorry.]  Carrie then shows
Billie the nightgown she's bought and asks what Billie thinks.  "I think
you're making too big a deal about this," is Billie's reply.  She tells
Carrie there will be lots of guys and lots of other nights.  Carrie says
there's only one guy for her and one night like tonight.  [After
commercial] Austin arrives and Carrie leaves.  Austin tells Billie that
Tim wants $2500 (for bail).  Billie just wants to leave town.  Austin
says he's not running away.  He wants Carrie in his life.  Billie wants
to know, "What about me?  I can't let you go to jail."  She runs from the
apartment.

At the pub Roman is encouraging Marlena to eat something.  She says she
can't eat.  John and Rebecca are at another table chatting.  Rebecca
brings up his past with Marlena and Isabella then says she thought he was
the type that once he fell in love he never fell out of love.  Roman
looks over at Marlena.  Just then Caroline pipes up with the news that
the judge is reconvening early.

Back to the latest Devereaux crisis:  Jennifer writes a check for the
furniture and gives it to Jack saying, "You decide."  Begrudgingly he
gives the check to the delivery people and says, "I know what you're
thinking.  The little woman's the breadwinner in the family."  "Yeah,
lucky you," responds one of the delivery men.  "Yeah, lucky me," mutters
Jack.

At the courthouse the judge says that Marlena was persuasive but that if
he goes along with her suggestion that she will have to take
responsibility for Kimberly.  Marlena says she's willing and the judge
agrees to place Kimberly under Marlena's care.  He says, however, that if
Marlena can't show within a reasonable time period proof of MPD and its
relationship to the murder of Randy Houston that Kimberly will have to
stand trial.

In Austin's apartment Carrie describes the nightgown she's bought for
their night together.  Austin wants to know if he can have a preview. 
Will she try it on now.  Carrie says it's for tonight.  Austin asks if
she'd be terribly disappointed if they didn't go to the cabin until
tomorrow.  Carrie doesn't mind.  It's not the place that matters.  She
says they can have their night right here.  They kiss.  Austin pulls
away.  Carrie asks what's the matter.  Austin says he can't do this. 
They're not going to have their night together.  Carrie looks
crestfallen.

Meanwhile Jennifer is ooh-ing and ah-ing over the furniture while Jack
mopes.  "Don't be upset," she begs, "You wanted to make me feel loved and
you did."  "But I couldn't pay for it," grumbles Jack.  "*We* paid for
it," counters Jennifer.  Jack tells her she has a talent for making
people feel important.  Jennifer replies, "Except for you -- the one
person I want to make feel important.  I wish I knew why."

Back to Carrie and Austin:  Carrie is upset to know that Tim is in jail
and that Austin might have to go to jail.  She says she'll find a way to
get the money.  Austin says that won't solve the problem.  He says he's
going to stay.

At the courthouse Kim ask Phillip "What if this doesn't work?"  Phillip
says, "No 'what ifs'."  Rebecca interrupts as John is congratulating
Marlena and asks if he's ready to finish those dancing lessons tonight.

Now Jack is whining about being a failure again.  "It's starting all over
again," he says.  "What?" asks Jenn.

Jack:  I'm a failure.

Jenn:  You can never be a failure to me.  Don't you realize what a
       wonderful person you are?

Jack:  Look at the failure I've become.

Jenn:  Why do you do this?  You say the same things over and over.  Why
       can't I get through to you?

Jack:  I need air.

Jack goes outside and Jennifer sits down on the new sofa.

Back at the courthouse Kim is telling Phillip that it's a terrible risk
for Marlena.  She says she's heard them (Lacey and Claire) twice and
she's scared.  Phillip tells her, no, they're not coming out.  They don't
stand a chance.  In another part of the room Roman suggests to Marlena,
John and Rebecca that they move the party to somewhere where they can
throw darts, etc.  John says he'll pass; he and Rebecca are going
dancing.  Roman remarks to Marlena as John leaves that it's nice to see
John smiling again.  Marlena doesn't look quite so excited about it.

Next, there's a quick glimpse of Billie taking some cash from the money
she's been holding.

In the apartment Carrie is suggesting to Austin that maybe Tim won't
talk.  Austin says he has to.  Then Austin starts telling Carrie how he
feels about her.  They kiss.  Carrie says she'll always be there for him. 
The phone rings but when Austin answers no one speaks.  We see a gloved
hand on the receiver of a pay phone, then Gus, who says, "Well, he's
home.  Now we're going to show him what happens when someone double
crosses me."  In the apartment, Carrie asks who it was.  Austin says it
was a wrong number.  They cuddle on the sofa but Austin's eyes are on the
telephone.  [Freeze frame]
