I'm back from vacation (booo!!)--but thanks to anyone who may have done the
updates while I was gone...I did get to watch the show occasionally while I
was gone, but may have some questions  (I was back in time to see Megan
return--it was great!!!  Sure do miss that character!)

Busy day in Llanview--especially with the Andrew/Billy rumor mess---it jumped
around a lot, so I hope this makes some sense...

Andrew/Billy/Marti/Vicki/etc....
Vicki is talking with Joey and Alana in her kitchen, and tries to get some
information from the kids about the rumors on Andrew and Billy.  At first they
say "no" - they know nothing.  Vicki tries to explain Andrew's position--that
he won't deny he is gay--it is simply a matter of privacy and principle.  The
kids are trying to protect Billy's privacy as well.  (These two kids are SOOO
cute!!  I really get a kick out of them together--and they are darn good actors
too!).   Vicki has to go to the church board meeting later in the day, and
hoped Joey and Alana could presuade Billy to tell the church board that Andrew
has not done anything.  They finally agree to talk to Billy, but when they do,
Billy says he just can't talk to the church board...he's afraid they will ask
too many questions.
Meanwhile, Andrew is confronting Marti--he is sure she is the one who started
the rumors, broke Megan's picture, told his father he was gay, etc...She of
course is very indignant and denies everything (but we know better!).  Andrew
throws her out of his office, still fuming.  Beau then visits Andrew, who
asks him if it isn't time to admit he isn't gay (after Andrew tells Beau that
Cassie has decided to "distance" herself from him for awhile).  Again Andrew
says it is a matter of principle.  Beau says he understands.  Then Sloan
visits--still playing the same record.  Andrew tells him to stop trying to
control his life--he says Sloan is more concerned that he will look like a
failure as a father if both of his sons are thought to be gay...

Church Meeting:  Renee, Vicki, Virginia (Billy's mom), another woman and one
man make up the committee to decide if Andrew should be thrown out of the
parish.  The man and woman are extreme fundamentalists, quoting the Bible
about gays, etc.  Much arguing ensues.  Vicki tries to make two points.  Fact:
Gays don't "recruit" other people to their lifestyle; and Fact: gays are no
more a threat to young children than anyone else in society.  The church group
still is not convinced.  Virginia admits that Billy said nothing happened--
it is really her husband who is pushing this issue.  Billy enters the meeting!
He strongly tells the group that Andrew never did a thing.  The church man
keeps grilling Billy, saying there usually is a "kernel of truth" when these
things happen, or rumors like this start--what is it?  Billy is becoming more
and more uncomfortable, when his mother jumps in, and says that Billy has a
right to HIS privacy--[Ed.-I got the feeling that Virginia does know that Billy
is gay---did anyone else get this feeling?]  They call for a recess, and Vicki
tells Virginia that she will be the deciding vote on whether or not Andrew is
kicked out...CLIFFHANGER

Earlier in the day...
Max enters the Buchanan Palace and says he is meeting "Mrs. Buchanan" for
lunch---and the waiter shows him to Blair's table!!!  OOPS--wrong Mrs. B- Max
meant Renee.  He moves to Renee and Luna's table, where they finish the deal
to make Serenity Springs a part of Buchanan Palace.  They also briefly discuss
Blair--Renee thinks she married Asa for the money, but Max thinks it was some-
thing else, and that Asa made her marry him.  As they are leaving, Blair
literally bumps into Luna--then says something about how tired she is--[no
doubt in my mind Blair is preggers--and the old goat isn't the father!!
Still looking for a good story line for Max, he now will be a father-to-be
again...]  Max then fawns all over Luna, while Blair is still there.  Luna
then SUPER brainslaps Max, and tells him to NEVER use her like an inflatable
doll again in front of Blair!  He then tells Luna he is going to Sweetwater--
he needs time alone.  Max finds the song "Suede" has written, and Luna tells
Max that her good friend Reba McIntyre is coming to town (Friday?)--guest
appearance time.  I wonder if she will sing "Suede's" song????

Other story lines---Dorian visits Jason and apologizes--says she understands
now that he does love LeeAnn.  She offers him his job back--no strings, but
he says no.  She then gives him an album of his photos to use in his job
search.

Blair/Cassie/Dorian:  Blair was actually at the Buchanan Palace to meet with
Cassie.  Blair wants to make amends with Dorian.  Cassie tells her to let
Dorian see Addie, but Blair says Asa won't let her.  Cassie thinks this is
terrible, that Asa has such control, and asks why she married him.  Blair won't
say.  Cassie then tells her the Andrew story--and their problems.  Marti enters
the restaurant and gives the waiter a letter to deliver to Cassie--but don't
tell her who sent it.  Cassie opens it - it reads (in big crayon writing)
""How's your fag lover in the sack?"-  Cassie keeps her cool, and doesn't say
a word.  Dorian joins them, and tells Blair she wants Addie to get better care.
Blair gets called away; it is Addie's nurse, who says she is quitting as
Addie tried to stab her with a letter opener...Blair tries to talk her out of
leaving.  Back at the table, Dorian wants to know what is in Cassie's letter...
"Keeping secrets?", she asks...

That's about it... fill in if you wish...
