------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lead-ins to today's episode:

     Jack and Jennifer check to make sure they have everything they need
     and rush out the door as Mrs. Horton looks on pondering the fact
     that Jennifer is about to give birth.

     Marlena visits Roman at the police department and tells him that
     Roger kissed her.

     Stella goes to Roger's warehouse studio and asks him to come back
     home.  Roger doesn't think that's a good idea.

     John and Isabella are at home preparing to interview prospective
     nannies for Brady and getting reading for Isabella's party.  John
     doesn't like the guest list Isabella has prepared because it
     includes Lawrence, Vivian and Lisanne.  Isabella says she has
     something she wants to say to them and tells John that everyone is
     on the list for a reason.

How things proceed from here:

     "He kissed you!?!" shouts Roman.  Marlena tells Roman that Stella is
making wild accusations and that she wants Roman to know the truth. 
Roman says that Stella was insecure enough about her marriage before this
development.  He wants to know why Marlena didn't notice Roger's
infatuation with her and see this coming.  Marlena leaves when Roman
brushes her off saying says he has work to do on the murder case.

     Jack and Jennifer return to the Horton house.  All the fuss was just
a dry run for the real event.  Jack leaves and Jennifer receives a phone
call from Calliope who is in Salem.

     At the warehouse/studio Stella begs Roger to come home.  He tells
her she's the one who drove him away.  Stella continues to cry, beg,
apologize and make promises.  Finally Roger succumbs and says he'll give
it another chance; however, he doesn't look the least bit convinced that
things will work out.  Stella asks and Rogers promises not to see Marlena
again.

     Officer McCall comes into Roman's office as he's pondering the
bulletin board devoted to the Randy Houston murder.  The two of them
agree it would be a good idea to offer a reward for information and Roman
starts to dictate a press release to Taylor [is shorthand proficiency a
requirement for female cops?].

     Isabella has a serious talk with Marlena.  She tells Marlena that
she felt animosity towards her and that she regrets that.  Marlena says
that was natural and they they've come a long way since then.  Isabella
says it's a comfort to her that John can turn to Marlena.  Marlena
promises to be there for John both professionally and personally.  She
tells Isabella that she is a remarkable woman and that she admires her
courage.

     Calliope arrives at the Horton house bubbling to Jennifer about the
great ratings their last show received and telling her that the network
wants Jennifer to come back to New York and continue the show.

     At the police station Roman and Taylor have finished writing the
press release.  Roman thinks they've done a good job and wishes they
could get it out immediately but gets called away.  Taylor decides to
help out and asks someone to come and pick up the copy.

     At one of the local restaurants (Alice's?) Maggie and Roger are
talking about the Art Council's grant when Marlena comes in and joins
them.  Roger is excited when Maggie tells him that not only is the Art
Council giving him the grant he applied for but they're buying a new
studio for him fully equipped with the best of everything.  Maggie leaves
the table and Roger and Marlena start to talk about Stella and the grant. 
Stella comes in, sees them laughing together and (presumably) draws the
wrong conclusion.  Both tell Stella that their meeting was an accident. 
Stella says it's okay.  When Roger leaves the table, Stella apologizes to
Marlena.  Marlena tells Stella that she can grow and change *with* Roger. 
Stella says Roger told her the same thing and suggests the two are
coordinating their stories.  Marlena recommends that Stella and Roger go
away together to find each other.

     Meanwhile Calliope and Jennifer are still talking about their TV
show.  Calliope tells Jennifer that there's a Jennifer Devereaux fan
club.  Jennifer is pretty excited about that, but says she has to think
about continuing with the show.

     At the loft a messenger arrives with an envelope for John.  John
pockets the envelope when Isabella enters the room.  As the two of them
wait for prospective applicants, Isabella confides to John that she is
concerned about choosing a nanny who will love Brady and be a good
influence on him.  They then interview a couple of losers and Isabella
bemoans the fact that they didn't start this a month ago.  There's a
knock at the door ... they aren't expecting any other applicants ... but
a long-haired redhead named Hailey Monihan introduces herself and comes
on in.

     At the restaurant Roger, Maggie, Stella and Marlena are discussing
Roger's new studio.  Maggie and Roger get up to go have a look at it. 
Stella declines the invitation to join them, saying she'll go by the
warehouse, pick up Roger's things and take them home.

     At the police station Taylor is doing some filing in Roman's office. 
Roman comes in and wants to know where the press release is.  He wants to
pass it by Abe for authorization.  He is angry when Taylor tells him
she's already sent it out.

     Back at the loft, Hailey Monihan gives all the right answers and
Isabella asks if she'd like to see the baby.  Naturally Hailey would love
to.  Isabella offers to let Hailey hold Brady and when Hailey takes him,
John notices the look on Isabella's face and takes her aside.  Isabella
tells him she realizes that this woman may be raising her baby.

     At the Horton house, Jack and Jennifer talk about moving to New York
so Jennifer can continue co-hosting the talk show.  Jennifer doesn't know
if she wants to leave Salem.  Isabella's illness has made her treasure
the moments with people she loves.

     At the loft, Isabella is telling Hailey she's glad she stayed for
dinner.  She tells Hailey about her illness, says she thinks Hailey is
the person they're looking for, and asks if she can start tomorrow. 
Hailey says she'll see them first thing in the morning.  After Hailey
leaves, Isabella tells John that now she's taken care of everything. 
John tells Isabella he has a surprise for her.

     In Roman's office, Roman and Taylor hear a radio announcement:
$5,000 reward for information about the murder of Randy Houston.  Roman
says they'd better hope it works and works fast.

     At the warehouse/studio, Stella is talking to herself about Marlena
and Roger.  She thinks Marlena is still trying to worm her way into
Roger's life.  Stella throws down a box and the box goes right through
the floor.  As Stella stares down through the gaping hole, she muses:  "I
could have fallen through ... it would have been weeks before someone
found me ...."

     At the loft John and Isabella are climbing onto a window sill to
gaze at the stars.  John points to a star and tells Isabella that that
bright star is now known as Isabella.  He has a paper to prove it.  He
has bought that star especially for her.  He says he and Brady can always
look at that star and know that Isabella is keeping a close eye on both
of them.  He goes inside to get the video camera.  Isabella looks toward
her star and says, "Please watch over them and let them know that I love
them."
