  Wednesday, July 22

  The kids are at the Capwell mansion and there is much talk of Cruz's two
  taking off for Guadalajara to visit relatives.  Katrina has just 
  returned from Charleston and reports that Suzanne has opened a great
  gallery and she do very well there.  CC makes comments about what a team
  Angela and Ted have turned out to be on the "LA Project" and Ted looks
  nervous.  Everyone; starts to wonder where Cruz is and Kelly calls him
  at the cop shop.  Cruz has been reading BJ's front page article about
  the R.A. child abuse.  He has a puzzled look on his face and flashes 
  back to the tattoo he saw on Frank's back of a doll with Rachael Ann
  under it.  He picks up the phone and apologizes to Kelly he didn't
  realize it was so late and he's on his way.  When he shows up at the
  Capwell mansion CC mentions something about the aid they are sending and
  the fact that they need someone down there to oversee the distribution
  of food, money, etc. to make sure it gets to the people who really need
  it.  A subtle hint to Cruz that Cruz misses entirely but Kelly doesn't
  and tries to change the subject and finally gets CC, Ted and Katrina off
  to a board meeting.  Kelly mentions to Cruz CC's obvious attempt to get
  Cruz out of town but Cruz is so preoccupied with Rachel Anne and child
  abuse that he has totally missed it.  Kelly and Cruz discuss what little
  they know about child abuse victims - the inclination to blame themselves,
  block it out of their minds until they are old enough and/or secure 
  enough to cope with the reality.  Kelly wants to know if there is someone
  in particular that they are disucssing and Cruz confesses that he thinks
  it's BJ.

  Angela shows up at Warren's newspaper looking for him and finds only BJ.
  She's upset that Warren is writing editorials about her wanting to tear
  down a building that he feels should be a historical landmark.  BJ defends
  Warren saying he must have his reasons and Angela tears into BJ saying
  you really think you know what he thinks and comments about BJ playing
  with kids her own age.  She storms out and BJ goes back to the second
  installment of her article.

  Back at the boardroom Sophia and Ken are engaged in kissing when the 
  Capwell clan shows up.  Angela arrives and the meeting begins with Ken
  recapping what he's been doing in LA.  CC belittles his contribution and
  Sophia defends him.  They get off on a tangent about Warren's article 
  about Angela's plans for the slaughterhouse and Ted says he agrees with
  Warren that the building should be preserved.  Angela tries to defend 
  herself saying that she's tearing down the building to build a park and
  they go back and forth.  Gina has arrived in true Gina fashion walking
  in, flinging her briefcase on the table andf tossing a report to CC.  
  While the bickering about the slaughterhouse goes on Gina tosses off
  a comment about wanting to discuss Gina Jeans.  That brings the
  conversation to a halt.  The rest of the group look at her like she's
  crazy.  The meeting breaks up and Katrina leaves as Ted starts after her
  she tells him to stay that she has a surprise she needs to pick up for
  him.  Angela swoops in for the kill, making comments about their phone
  conversation the other night.  Ted says its over and Angela kisses him
  as only Angela can.  Ted gets that glint in his eye and starts to kiss
  and she stops him and says he right they should stop this.  She leaves
  and Ted in left along in the boardroom looking very flustered and
  frustrated.

  Frank is at the Walkers cabin reading BJ's article.  Reese is trying
  to eat but can't.  Frank mentions the article and how good it is but
  in attempt to create more trouble he says that he doesn't think it's
  fair that Warren Lockridge would give an assignment about this kind 
  of subject to someone BJ's age.  It's just not right that she should
  have to dealve into this kind of filth.  This of course gets Reese
  worked up and about this time BJ arrives.  She asks Reese how he liked
  the story and he says it was great but complains that Warren shouldn't
  be giving her stories like this to do.  Frank cuts him off and says that
  he should talk to BJ because Reese gets too emotional when it comes to
  Warren.  Reese agrees and leaves.  Franks starts in on BJ about her not
  understanding how pure and special their realationship was and BJ says
  it was nothing of the kind.  Frank took advantage of a child who didn't
  know any better and that he's sick and needs major help.  She runs out.
  Reese comes out looking for her and Frank tells him she's returned to the
  paper. Reese leaves and Frank is left alone.  He starts ripping the paper
  apart and slowly descends into his own personal madness telling himself
  that he will get BJ to love him again.  (ed. note:  this actor did an
  outstanding job with facial expressions and his voice it was very scary)

  CC has stopped Sophia after the board meeting and asked to have a drink
  with him.  She agrees and CC questions her feelings for Ken.  She says
  she loves him.  CC questions his background and she runs down the story
  that Ken related about being taken by his business partner, etc.  CC
  allows Sophia to leave gracefully and then gets on the phone and tells
  someone to run a complete and thorough check on the Ken-man.  Later, back
  at the boardroom he runs into Gina.  Gina has a letter from Lionel to
  CC asking CC for permission to adopt Channing.  CC says he will consider
  it if Gina does him a favor and gives Ken a job at Gina Jeans.  Gina looks
  at him amazed that he still loves Sophia.  She agrees.

  Katrina arrives at the mansion.  Kelly asks her if she got *it* and
  Katrina says yes and shows her a ring that she bought for Ted.  TEd
  arrives and Katrina gives him the ring. She says it could mean any
  number of things.  Kelly pipes up with it could even be an engagement
  ring.  Ted says if that's what it is he accepts her proposal. They kiss.

  Cruz has gone to the newspaper looking for BJ.  He's informed that she's 
  not there but he can wait at her desk.  He starts messing with her pc
  and brings up the article on child abuse - second article.  He reads
  the first line about being forced to do something by someone her family
  trusted and loved.  Then the second line about hiding and being found
  and told to be quiet so her parents wouldn't hear.  Cruz is obviously
  troubled by what he's reading.  He then starts opening the drawers on
  BJ's desk.  In the second drawer he finds the doll.  He's picks it up
  and sees the name *Rachael Ann* embroidered on the body.  He flashes
  back to Frank's tattoo and the pieces start falling into place.  While
  holding the doll BJ walks in and sees him at the computer holding the
  doll.  She looks stricken.  He sees her and looks at her with such
  compassion and understanding and hurt that you want to cry .
