Well, I'm back from vacation :-(, but here is the update for this
past Friday. I watched my tape REAL QUICK last night, so feel
free to add or correct anything. 


The Custody
===========
At Llanfair, Kevin confronts Viki and tells her that he doesn't
think Joey should spend time at the Community Center because of
the current controversy. Viki tells her oldest son that she is proud
of Joey and will support his decision to continue to go to the
Community Center; however, she will not support Kevin's decision
to drag Lee Ann through the mud. Renee comes in and hears Viki and
adds her support for Lee Ann. She confronts Kevin with the fact
that maybe Asa had just a little something to do with those men
in Sweetwater confirming Kevin's suspicions about Lee Ann. She says
she knows those cheap blackmail photos were probably provided
by Asa. Renee tells Kevin she loves him as though he were her own
blood grandson, but she is gonna offer Lee Ann help. Kevin gets
upset that both Viki and Renee won't support him; Renee gets
even angrier at Kevin and tells him she admires Lee Ann. Kevin
stomps out.

Meanwhile, Lee Ann pays a visit to Luna at the radio station.
Luna is about to pick up her ol' friend, Reba McIntyre (sp).
Lee Ann offers to trade places with Luna, allowing Luna to go
to the courthouse. She voices her concern that Kevin has gotten
some kind of dirt on her. She says nothing happened with the
guy in Sweetwater and how much Kevin is beginning to sound like
Asa. She then tells Luna that she is afraid Jason has left town,
she apparently found $630 in his bag or something. She tells Luna
she doesn't want Jason to get on the stand and tell everyone he
can't read and then relates the story of Jason's prison record.

Jason stops by Andrew's for a little talk. He's a bit uncomfortable
but relates to Andrew how he's afraid he will only hurt Lee Ann's
case. He starts to leave and asks Andrew if he'll tell Lee Ann
that he left in order to help her. Andrew asks Jason if he
loves Lee Ann and the baby. Jason says he loves them more than
anything. Andrew says maybe it would be a good idea if Jason hung
around. Jason agrees and Andrew tells him it was good to have
someone stop by and ask his advice. Jason cheers Andrew up a bit
by basically telling him that anyone who doesn't ask for Andrew's
advice is a jerk.

At the courthouse, the judge tells everyone that the divorce
issue will be settled before the custody issue. John Russell tells
the judge that Lee Ann is willing to reach an out-of-court
settlement if the adultery charge is dropped. Kevin yells out that
it's true. Lee Ann asks Kevin what is wrong with him. The Judge
interrupts the couple.

Luna is questioned by John and gives Lee Ann a good character
reference. She says Lee Ann never cheated on Kevin. Viki comes
in while Kevin is being questioned by his lawyer. Kevin says he
saw Lee Ann and Jason kissing and that Lee Ann married him for his
money. He *knows* they were having an affair. John objects when
the affidavits from the men in Sweetwater are introduced into
evidence. He says what Lee Ann did before their marriage is
irrelevant. The judge agrees and wants to proceeds. John asks
for a few minutes to talk to Lee Ann; he asks her where Jason is. 
Jason enters the courtroom. Kevin's lawyer questions Jason. 
Jason says he and Lee Ann never slept together and that he didn't
tell Lee Ann that he loved her until after Kevin and Lee Ann broke
up. Jason then admits that he and Lee Ann spent so much time
together because he can't read and Lee Ann was teaching him.

Renee enters the courtroom as John questions Lee Ann. She tells
how she tried to fit into Llanfair but couldn't. She worked the
whole time she was married. She doesn't want alimony, just wants
Kevin to meet their baby's needs. She says she only slept with 2
men in her whole life and really wanted her marriage to work.
The Judge goes to her chambers to make a decision.

The Heist
=========
Cain and Tina are discussing how they are gonna trap Alex, but
*she* doesn't know it. Cain has a security guard's uniform. Meanwhile,
Alex is at the Buchanan Palace lunching with Bulge and telling him
how she is gonna trap Cain and Tina, only *they* don't know it.
She joins Mortimer, who is at another table, after sending Bulge
on his way to pay off her masseuse who will give an alibi
for Alex that she was with him when the jewels were stolen.
Bulge, gentleman that he is, offers to give Alex a massage himself.

Alex joins Mortimer. He thanks her for telling him about the
spring alarms he had installed at the museum. Alex removes her
jacket just as Mortimer says "they don't show at all." Alex
glances at her cleavage before realizing that Mortimer meant
the alarms!! [very funny scene!!]

Meanwhile, Tina and Cain have made their way to the museum.
Tina is gawking at the jewels and Cain tells her to stop. They
go over the plan one more time [Karen Witter is wearing a black
tight outfit that shows just how skinny she really is!] Cain
blocks the security camera and lifts the glass cage off the
jewels [huh?!] Tina comes in through the heating vent and tells
Cain there are cop cars all over. Cain smells trouble and wants
to high-tail it out of there. Before he can stop her, Tina is
grabbing the jewels. A cage drops around them, trapping the duo.

The Secret
==========
Before Viki went to the courthouse, Sloane paid a visit to
Llanfair. His last lecture at the University has been postponed
without any explanation, but he intends to get one. They
discuss Sloane's medical condition. Sloane agrees with Viki's
suggestion that he get a second opinion. She also urges Sloane
to tell Andrew the truth about his health. She tells him about
her experience earlier that morning with Kevin -- she is
disappointed in him (much like Sloane is with Andrew) but she
still loves him.

Sloane then goes to visit Andrew, who becomes defensive at the
reason for his father's visit. Sloane says he's not there because
of what has been happening. He looks very sad and Andrew asks him
if a distant relative has died or something. Sloane replies "not
yet." He admits that he is the one who is dying. Andrew is shaken.
Sloane tells Andrew he came to Llanview to spend his final months
with his son. The General stands rigid while Andrew hugs him.
Andrew asks his father what he can do to help. Sloane
asks Andrew not to turn his final days into a nightmare of
embarrassment. The anger returns and the General tries to leave
but Andrew grabs him. Sloane asks Andrew to put the issue to
rest until he's gone.

The Superstar
=============
Yep, Reba has made it to Llanview. She is at the Buchanan Palace
talking to Renee and admits that she knew Bo and Asa when Bo owned
the record company. Renee tells her that she and Asa are divorced.
Reba tells a story about Bo and a broken air conditioner, they
both laugh. Luna arrives [um, I thought she was suppose to pick
her friend up?] and off to the radio station they go. The fun
friends discuss men a bit and Reba calls Luna "Darlene" [guess
that's her real name?] before Reba sings a song entitled
"The Greatest Man I Never Knew" with a dedication from Renee to Asa.

And as Reba sings we cut to scenes of the following:

Luna looks at a picture of Max and gets tearful.

At the courthouse, Kevin looks on solemnly as Viki asks Lee Ann
if she can hold the baby.

At the parish, Sloane looks sad standing in the hallway. Andrew
goes to him. They both leave, only to find the word "Fag" written
on the door, a stranger who yells "faggot" at Andrew and throws
mud, hitting the General.

==================================================================
The Confusion -- Mine: Okay, I taped the shows while I was on vacation
last week and I had a marathon viewing (read: lots of ff'ing)
over the weekend. Now I'm a bit confused about the Heist -- didn't
Cain's plan involve Alex being at the museum where she got trapped
in what he kept referring to as the viewing room? So, how come
Cain and Tina were at the museum and Alex was not? How come Alex
needs to buy an alibi since she's not at the museum anyway? Unless
Tina and Cain were just at the museum to set things up and the
actual heist was suppose to occur later? Geez, I think I need
ANOTHER vacation!! :-)
