=====================

Melissa and Jack are in Neil's study when Kayla arrives.  Melissa turns a bit
green and leaves them alone.  Jack is thrilled to see her but Kay says the 
reason she came was to thank him for helping Steve clear his name.  Jack says
he did it for selfish reasons.  Kay asks how that is possible when he helped
Steve like that.  Jack says if Steve had gone to prison for a crime he didn't
commit it would have made him a martyr and then Jack would not have stood a
chance of winning her from him.  Kay doesn't know how she can make it
any clearer that there will never be anything between them.  Jack says
why not and Kay  tells him because she loves Steve.  Jack doesn't see
that as a major obstacle. Melissa rushes in saying Angelica just called
from the hospital and Harper has come out of his coma.  

Diana and Mike go to Philip's for lunch where she is very uncomfortable but
tells Mike she does realise Philip helped them out of love for her.  Mike goes
for a walk on the grounds and Philip asks Diana if she's willing to forgive 
him.  Diana says she doesn't think she'll ever be able to forget what happened
but after all he's done for her, she's convinced he really does love her.  She
says she's willing to try and forgive the past.  Philip is thrilled and hugs
her saying he's missed her.  Philip is called out of the room and Pamela comes
in.  They talk about a lot of things and then the subject of James comes up.
Diana shows Pamela a photo of him and when she looks at it Pamela obviously 
recognises him.  Pamela tries to cover up her reaction but Diana is very
suspicious.

Angelica does her best to explain to Harper what happened to him but she admits
no one really knows why.  Jack arrives and is thrilled to see Harper awake.  
Outside Melissa and Kay talk about Steve and the whole situation.  Kay asks if
she can ask Melissa a favour.  Melissa says sure.  Kay asks her to try and get
Jack's mind off her for a while.  Melissa says that's a big request as Jack is
crazy about her.  Kay says she thinks it's just infatuation and it's not 
uncommon for a patient to fall in love with his nurse.  She says Jack will get
over it.  Melissa looks suddenly hopeful and asks if she really thinks so.  Kay
says she does.  Melissa has to go and Angelica comes out and apologises for her
remarks about Steve over the last few weeks.  Jack comes out and Angelica goes
back to Harper.  Jack asks her to go to dinner, to celebrate Harper's recovery.
Kay isn't sure but Jack assures her he knows where he stands with her.  Kay
reluctantly agrees and Jack says he'll pick her up at the loft.  They both 
wander off and Angelica, who was listening to their conversation, gets a 
thoughtful look.

Maggie has Sarah at Neil's, playing with Noelle, and she and Jo get talking.
Maggie says Noelle needs a full time mother and says she is hopeful that 
something will develop between Neil and Grace.  Jo looks ill.  Grace arrives
(bull, it's the one who played Gillian)  and Jo tells her Neil had to leave for
a medical emergency.  Grace smiles and says it's just the girls then.

Mike comes back in telling Diana this place is amazing.  He can see she's upset
and asks if things didn't go well with Philip.  Diana says they actually went
very well.  Mike asks what's wrong then.  Diana tells him how Pamela obviously
recognised James.  She reminds him what James' letter said, where it asked his
boss to let him out as he couldn't go on doing what he was doing.  Mike asks
what she's thinking and Diana isn't sure but says Pamela definitely recognised
him.  She thinks it's possible that James worked for her father.  Mike says 
that is a possibility and Diana says if that is true, her father could be the
one who killed James.

Jack is outside Harper's room when Angelica comes out.  He asks how Harper is
doing and Angelica smiles saying just what you'd expect, he's on the phone to
Washington, barking orders.  Jack laughs and Angelica says she heard him 
talking to Kayla.  Jack isn't in the mood for a lecture but Angelica says it
won't be.  She says she didn't realise how deeply he cared for Kayla and will
do everything she can to help him win her.  Jack goes in to go over some work
with Harper and smiles when Harper starts bellowing about losing time in this
stupid coma and the '88 election is coming up.  Harper asks what Jack is
grinning at and Jack admits it's great to hear him bellowing again.

Pamela tracks down Philip and says Diana showed her a photo of her fiance and
she recognised him as a man who worked for Philip.  She knows how he died and
Philip asks what she's inferring.  Pamela isn't inferring anything but says she
wants to know the truth, why did James die.  They get into an argument and 
Diana comes in in time to hear Philip angrily asking Pamela if she honestly
thinks he would murder his own daughter's fiance.  Diana storms in and says she
wants the truth.  Pamela goes to join Mike and Philip asks if Diana really 
believes he could kill the man she loves.  Diana doesn't know what to believe
anymore.  Philip admits James did work for him but promises he didn't have
anything to do with his death.  Diana looks at him coldly and heads for the
door telling him to tell Pamela she won't be staying for lunch.

Kay tracks down Jo at Neil's and Jo asks what's up.  Kay says she misses Steve
and hasn't heard from him since he went to Washington.  Jo says she hasn't 
either but knows Steve will be fine.  Kay says Jo misses him too and says it
must have been so wonderful for Jo to find him again.  Jo is thrilled Steve
found a girl like her.  Kay says they found each other.  Jo says she's just
so grateful to Kay for caring enough to break through Steve's protective wall
that he had build around himself.  She says thanks to Kay she's seen so much
caring and love from Steve.  Kay says Steve has taught her a lot about life
and she must have Jo to thank for that.  Jo laughs saying listen to them.  Kay
says she feels like getting on a plane to Washington but they wouldn't let her
see Steve if she did.  Jo says they'll just have to keep each other company
then.  Kay says when Steve gets back she's never letting him go again. 
Jo hugs 
her saying she won't either.

Kay is home when Diana and Mike arrive.  Kay can immediately see something is
wrong and asks what happened.  Mike says he's going to go and grab some pizza
and leaves them to talk.  Kay asks what's going on and Diana tells her how she
went to see her father, fully intending to try and make amends.  Instead she
found out that James worked for Philip and Philip could have been responsible
for James' death.  Later Mike comes back with pizza and says Philip did say he
had nothing to do with James' death, he asks why Diana can't believe him.  
Diana wishes she could but says she really doesn't know who her father is any
more.

So were the days,
