Here goes...basically, there were four stories: 1. the Buchanan Homecoming;
2. Jason/LeeAnn/Hank/Rachel/Nora; 3. Cassie/Blair//Asa/Cain; and,
4. Alex/Bulge/Mortimer/Wilma.

1. All's fair in Llanfair...NOT!

Clint and Viki are returning from Arizona; Renee and Kevin are
discussing what will be proper conversation topics.  Renee urges Kevin
to stay away from 'touchy subjects', and Kevin agrees that this should
be a 'new beginning'.  The weary (and I mean /weary/!) travelers arrive.
Without much, or any, celebration, Clint and Viki enter the house and
proceed to ignore one another.  Viki looks like her mind is elsewhere
(on you-know-who) and Clint looks on suspiciously.  Jessica is on
crutches--though no explanation is offered.  Joey comes in late; Clint
gives him a hard time, and finally musters up enough emotion to say
'Well, it's good to see you, son'.  Joey proceeds to inform the 'rents
that Billy is now staying at Llanfair.  Guess what?  Viki is
sympathetic, but Clint is very unhappy with the situation.  Billy comes
to Joey's aid, and tells the Buchanans that his parents know where he
is; everything is alright.  Clint is not impressed.
Clint and Bo (where-in-the-world-have-you-been?) chat as Viki and Renee
do the same.  Both pairs are having the same conversation.  Apparently,
Clint and Viki either fought or ignored each other the whole time they
were gone.  So much for THAT story...*shudder*!

2. To plead (guilty) or not to plead (guilty); that's the question.

Hank tells Jason that he is willing to do everything he can to help
lighten Jason's impending sentence.  He knows that Jason is against a
brick wall where the Buchanans are concerned, and sympathizes.  He tells
Jason that if he pleads guilty to one tiny little charge (endangering a
minor), he will /only/ get a couple months in the slammer...tops!
Later, LeeAnn comes to see Jason, and Hank agrees to let her visit the
prisoner if she agrees to help convince Jason to go along with Hank's
plan.  LeeAnn agrees...but when she is with Jason, she does just the
opposite: she wants him to fight!  He's innocent, by gum!  Now, if they
could just afford a decent lawyer...
Meanwhile, Nora phones Hank.  She wants to know WHY Rachel isn't
planning to return to Chicago to finish her schooling there.  Is there
something that Hank isn't telling her???  (Like, maybe about Kevin?)
Well!  She's coming to Llanview to see for herself/click!

3. Kramer & Kramer vs. ...

Cassie and Blair (oh goddess, can I actually stand to write about this?) are
having lunch adjacent to Cain and Asa.  Blair wants the Kramer women to
stick together (I want my Addie back!), and offers Cassie a job as the
manager for public affairs for Blair Daimler Designs, Inc.  Cassie is
shocked, but accepts (I think).  Meanwhile, Cain (don't do it, boy!!)
shows Asa his new idea for B.D.D.'s logo.  He took it straight to Asa,
staight to the top.  Asa likes it; 'you're a smart man, Rogin'.
However, upon showing it to Blair at the next table, Blair hates it, (I
thought it was quite good, myself.) and Blair extracts a similar
reaction from Cassie.  Asa informs Cain that now he must take his ideas
to Blair first; he suspects that Cain is trying to drive a wedge between
and his "current" wife.

4. What's he worth to ya?

Bulge comes in and tells Alex that he has some bad news: Moose Mulligan
has taken over the last of her assets, and has now put a contract out on
her life.  It's time to act, and act fast.  'Bring me Morty AND that
mother of his!'  Bulge brings in the two...in a head lock.  Alex tells
Wilma they need to talk, woman-to-woman.  They barter on what
exorbidant price Alex must pay for the use of Morty.  Ultimately, we see
Wilma wearing Alex's "A" pendant.  Bulge is horrified!  The boss MUST be
desperate, his face reads.  A special delivery comes for Mrs. Hesser, a
bomb.  It is tossed into the hallway.  Wilma enquires whether this was
the work of Moose Mulligan.  Alex confirms, and Wilma rolls up her shirt
sleeves (not literally).  "We've got work to do!"

Well, folks, that's what I remember.  Fill in as needed.  Oh, and stay
tuned--isn't Dr. Ruth due sometime soon?  This promises to be a scream!
