Lots of porch-talking today...

[Rescott's]

Ally's telling Kate she's sick of her morning sickness :)
Kate tries to reassure her (it's normal, etc.)  Ava walks
in; apparently Cooper and Casey have been camped on the
front porch all night!  They each have a red rose for Ally.
Ava takes the roses from them, and shuts the door in their
faces.  Ava starts pulling out the petals, while saying
Cooper? Casey? 

[Mental Hospital]

Stacy gets permission to leave the hospital grounds for
two hours to put her plan to catch Clay into action.

[Stacy's]

Clay's talking to himself:  "Jack's back".  Jack had better
count his days.  Ding dong - it's Dinah Lee.  She walks in,
grabs Clay, passionately tells him she loves him, and is
never going to leave him again!  He wonders what she's doing?
She doesn't even KNOW him anymore, so they shouldn't be
together.  She wants a better reason!  He wants what's
rightfully his.  He thinks to himself (only we can hear :)
He wants her, and Tim Sullivan back.  What he actually tells
her is he wants nothing, it was nothing.  At this point Jer and
Stacy arrive outside the front door.  After overhearing how
DL's telling Clay how much she loves him, and wants him back
in her life, they walk in.  Clay's surprised to see her out
of the hospital.  Stacy angrily demands to know what he's
doing with Dinah Lee in HER house!

[Rescott's]

Ava's spying through the window on Ally, Casey, and Cooper, 
who are out on the porch talking.  Kate tells Ava to knock
it off.  Reluctantly, Ava goes and sits on the couch, only
to discover a book underneath the cushion - "Male Sexual
Dysfunction".  Ava tries to reassure her by telling her
she doesn't need a book, she should just trust her instincts.
The conversation turns to Ally - Ava wishes there was something
she could do.  Kate tells her to stay out of it - she could
make things WORSE.  Ally has to make her own decisions, which
leads us to...

Out on the porch, both Casey and Cooper are begging Ally to
marry them.  She tells Cooper he's crazy, because he loves
Hannah.  This is ridiculous!  Ok, she'll hear Cooper out
first.  He did alot of thinking while he was in jail, and
thinks it would be best for her and the baby to have security.
Casey butts in:  but HE loves her.  But Cooper can LEARN to
love her.  The whole discussion turns into a shouting match,
and finally Ally yells at them that they're acting like
children!  Ava walks out, and tells Ally her mom's on the
phone [oh,great].  Ally goes in, and Ava stays outside to
discuss Ally's future with C&C.  Coop can give the baby
everything it needs - except LOVE, says Casey.  C&C start
arguing again, Kate calls Ava in, and Ava kicks C&C out.

Meanwhile, Ally's on the phone with her mother apologizing
for the big mistakes she's made, and practically hangs up on
her.  Apparently mommy's coming to Corinth.  Ally's worried
that her mom will want her to leave town, and runs out on the
porch to cry.  Casey walks up behind her and puts his arms
around her, and they stand there like that, not saying anything,
both looking very sad [very touching scene].

[Stacy's]

Clay rather lamely tries to explain what DL's doing there.
Stacy needs to talk to Clay alone to explain what she's
doing out of the hospital.  DL and Jer walk out on the
porch.  DL tells Jer that Clay's not a monster, and is
afraid of what they're going to do to him.  Jer says maybe
she's getting too involved.  She agrees, and walks away.

Back inside, Clay is wondering where Jack is if he's still
alive.  Stacy doesn't understand - Clay IDENTIFIED THE BODY!
Clay wonders about the calls - but dead men don't make calls,
Clay.  She tells him she has accepted the fact that Jack is
dead, and now Clay is the only one who can sign the release
forms to get her out of the hospital.  He doesn't think it's
a good idea.  The phone rings, Clay answers, it's the Jack
impersonator asking for Stacy!  Wrong number!  Clay hangs
up quick.

[Rescott's]

Out on the porch, Casey tries the marriage pitch again.  He'll
love her and the baby no matter what.  He proposes again "Will
you please marry me?"  They kiss, but she needs time.  He
leaves, and Ava walks out.  Kate's on the phone with Ally's
mother trying to convince her not to come.  Ally's very
confused - she asks if they can really take her baby?  Yes,
Ava says, they could and they WOULD!

[Stacy's]

Clay lies to Stacy - it's so good to have you home [kiss ass!]
He embraces her.  Jer immediately walks in and tells Stacy that
it's time to go back to the hospital.  Clay wishes she could
stay [sheyeah, right].  Stacy says well, in that case, JUST
SIGN THE PAPERS!  Not that simple... They kiss [yuck], and
Stace and Jer leave.  The phone rings again, it's the Jack
impersonator, wanting to know where Stacy is.  DL comes back
just in time to hear Clay tell him Stacy's in Aruba with the kids.
DL leaves.  "Jack" wants to meet Clay, tonight, at some place
called Belden Pond!
