Niki/Victor

Victor makes a call to the ranch.  Miguel answers.  Victor questions
whether or not Jack has called.  To Miguel's knowledge he hasn't.
Victor asks to keep his phone call a secret and heads over to the
ranch.  He gets there and asks again if Jack has called.  No, again.
Victor wants to know right away if Jack calls and Miguel agrees.
(This really bothers me.  Doesn't Miguel have any sort of loyalty?)

Niki comes in and is all happy to see Victor.  They kiss and begin
to talk of their new life together.  Niki cautions Victor that 
he must accept the idea that Jack is a big part of her and the
children's life.  He balks but assures her that he would never
hurt the children. Carol calls to let Niki know that Jack will
be home "tomorrow".  Niki doesn't know how she will tell him
of her decision. (I think Niki is going for the thrash look
with a dark band of black roots and her blond locks.)


Victoria/That Boy Ryan/Nina

Victoria and Ryan have just finished making love and Vickie is
crying in the bathroom.  She hates sex and doesn't know how
to tell Ryan.  She finally confesses that it isn't any good
for her and Ryan thinks that it's all his fault.  Nina calls
and wants to see him.  Ryan thinks it's going to be a good
time to tell her it's over.  (Victoria's hair looks a lot
darker than it used to.  When did this happpen?)

He gets to the apartment and Nina won't let him talk.  They 
start making out on the couch and are about to break their
vow to wait until they are married to have sex when Flo
calls out that Little Phillip is burning up with fever.
Ryan gets out fast, thinking that it can't be his fault
that Victoria doesn't like sex.  Nina told him he was
a fantastic lover.


Dru/John Abbott/Neil/Aunt Maimie

John comes home.  Aunt Maimie and he talk about Dru's situation.
He's decided to give her another chance.  Maimie is overjoyed
except she doesn't know where Dru is.  John bets he knows
someone who does and calls Neil.  

Neil comes right over.  John starts to say something about
Dru and Neil interrupts.  He begins to go off all about what
Dru did and how she's history as far as he's concerned.  John
looks a little preturbed and gives him Dru's letter which
Neil reads.  They ask him if he knows where she might go
and he says he has no clue (we all knew that part already).


Cricket/Danny/Michael/Hillary

C&D arrive home.  The MUST talk to Hillary and tell her what
a slimeball Michael is.  They try her apartment and there's 
no answer.  They go on inside their place and Cricket begins
to flounce around talking about how she just can't sit there
and do nothing (another phrase that should be added to our 
list).  But they are sure John is "doing everything he can"
to find the tape.

Next door, Hillary comes out of the bathroom looking 
beautiful in her lingerie.  She gets in bed with Michael
and without much preamble asks him why he made this sudden
decision to marry her *tonight*.   He slimes his way around
that one and then commences to tell her how she's got to
come out to L.A. with him immediately.  She tries to explain
that she just can't drop everything and go out there.  He
tells her to do it "for us". 


I hope you all don't mind my comments.  I ff'd through most
of the Victor/Niki stuff today.  I really don't like this
aspect of the show.   Hope you all have a terrific weekend.
