At WSPR, Holly assigns Gilly to cover a press coverage of Ross at the police
station.  Blake volunteers to do it but Holly says no you rub Ross the wrong
way.  Blake says not always. (HA HA)  Gilly leaves.  Holly walks over to Nick
and asks him if he would like to work on a special investigation.  Nick says
sure, what about?  Holly asks him how do you feel about investigating your
mother?  Blake is trying to listen but Holly tells her to go take a break. 
Nick asks what is the investigation about?  She tells him that Alexandra sold
Roger the waterfront land but I am curious why she would sell it to him.  Nick
suggests maybe she needs the money.  Holly says no and that is even more
interesting.  How did Roger pay for the land.  As far as I know his only asset
is WSPR.  Nick decides to take the assignment.

At the Bauer home, Lillian is taking a shower and Ed comes home (he has been
out of town).  He assumes that it is Mo in the shower so he decides to join
her.  He is shocked when he opens the door and sees Lillian there.  They
exchange looks.  After the commercial, we see Ed walk in the bedroom with his
robe on.  Lillian follows with her robe on and apologizes for using their
shower but Bridget was taking so long in the main shower and she has to get to
work.  Ed tells her he is suprised she is still staying there.  Lillian
explains that the painters are taking longer than she expected but since he is
home it would be better if she left.  Ed tells her not to do that.  Mo walks in
and is suprised to see Ed/Lillian in their robes.  She says oh goodness isn't
this cozy and laughs.  (not sarcastically either) Lillian explains to her that
Bridget was taking so long in the other shower and Mo understands.  Lillian
then tells her that Ed thought I was you in the shower and mistakenly walked in
on me.  Mo thinks this is funny and Lillian leaves to go get dressed.  Mo tells
Ed that Alan-Michael found out that Nick is his cousin.  Ed is worried and says
that AM is so unpredicatable just like his father when he doesn't get his way.

Gilly is interviewing Ross at the police station and asks him about his
personal life.  Ross is evasive but Gilly keeps pressing.  He says his personal
life is a open, dull book with mostly blank pages.  They finish with the
interview. (I forgot to mention that Ross did asks Gillly if Blake was going to
do the interview)  Anyway, a police officer brings in Eric Luvoncheck who is
bleeding from a cut at the eye and is yelling for the officer to let him go. 
Gilly phones Nick to let him know his father is at the police station.

AM walks in WSPR and says hi to Nick and tells Blake he needs to speak with
her.  Blake smiles and says you need my help, don't you?  He wants Blake to
keep a eye on any stories that Nick might write about Spaulding so if Nick goes
over the line AM can report back to the Spaulding board and this will make AM
look good in their eyes.  Blake says why should I help you?  AM says surely
your not still mad.  You use to look out for me.  Blake says yes but now you
have Eleni to do that for you.  AM says I would hate for Roger and Holly to go
thru a lawsuit libeling Spaulding.  Blake says what is in it for me?  AM says
I get a jump on Nick's stories and I'll give you a jump on any news at
Spaulding.  Blake says thanks but I'll pass and walks off.  Nick comes up and
asks AM why did Alexandra sell the waterfront land to Roger?  AM is suprised to
hear this and tells Nick he must be mistaken.  Nick assures him he is not and
was curious if the land was owned by Spaulding or Alexandra's personal
property.  AM tells him he will look into this and let him know.  Nick then
gets the call from Gilly that his father has been arrested and leaves for the
police station.

H.B. (so good to see him again) walks in Alexandra's office at Spaulding.  She
is glad to see him and they embrace.  Where have you been?  He tells her
traveling around on Lewis business.  He comes right out and asks her why the
hell did you sell that waterfront land to Roger?  I heard he is going to build
a skyscraper that will block the Lewis Towers.  Alex tells him not to worry
because the land Roger got is zoned for only 5 stories and is for commercial
use.  He isn't a threat to Billy.  HB says but why do business with Roger? 
Alex says it was a good business deal and I love taking money from people I
despise and laughs.  HB tells her he also heard about Nick and congratulates
her.  She explains about AM and asks his advice since he went thru the same
thing at Lewis Oil with Billy and Josh.  HB tells her that situation was
different.  Those boys had been busting heads all their life.  Josh started his
own company  and he earned  a spot to be at Lewis Oil.  He says NIck doesn't
look much like the corporate type to me.  She tells him that Phillip was the
same way for a while.  HB says Nick doesn't have any experience and if you get
careless with AM the competition might snap him up.  They laugh and Alex asks
what should I do?  HB tells her to let him know how important he is to you. 
Show him he counts and do it today.  Alex says I've told AM that.  HB says then
start showing him.  I know you want Nick to run the company but he has to prove
himself first.  I suggest you find the biggest plum you've got and give it to
AM.  As they say if you want to teach someone trust, trust them.  They hug and
HB leaves.

Nick arrives at the police station and asks Eric why were you fighting someone
at the Inquistor?  Eric is drunk and says your a good son to come help me. 
Nick realizes Eric is drunk and is mad.  Eric explains he went into a bar to
have 1 drink and this man set down beside me and kept buying me drinks.  I
couldn't refuse.  Suddenly we were in a newspaper room and this guy was playing
back a tape of what all I had told him.  He even offered me a great deal of
money.  Nick says what did you tell him?  Eric says all about you.  Nick is
outraged and says first you sell me out at the maternity ward and now your
selling me to the entire world?  Eric says no I refused and smashed his
recorder.  I then ripped up the tape and that when he called the cops.  I was
fighting for you Nick.  A policeman comes up and tells then the guy doesn't
want to press charges so Eric is free to go.  Nick tells him to come on lets go
to my place and Eric smiles at him.

(Am I long winded or what?:)  Lillian listens outside Ed/Mo's door and hears Mo
say I would have liked to have seen Lillian's face when you opened the door.  I
mean its been a long time since she's seen a man.

Ross comes home and turns on the tv and starts reading the newspaper.  He is
shocked when Blake comes in from the kitchen and says Hello Senator.  She has a
tray and says wait until you taste my guacumole (sp?).  I put peppers in it.  I
like it hot don't you?  Ross says what the hell are you doing and then smiles. 
Blake says why are you whispering?  We are alone aren't we?  ross says I hope
so.  She turns off the TV and tells him I have something better for you to look
at.  She then tells him I've cooked, are you hungry?  Ross grabs her face and
looks like he is  about to kiss her but instead says get out and goes and opens
the front door.

AM is in his office and tells his secretary to get all the real estate files
recently.  Alexandra comes in his office and tells him she has a peace
offering for him.  We are all family and I love all my family equally.  (Now
how do you love all your family equally?  I love my aunt and uncle but I
definately love my daughter more. oh well)  You are important to me AM and with
that she tells him she wants to put him in charge of the Pharmaceutical
Division of Spaulding.  AM tells her he doesn't want a bribe.  Alex says you
deserve it.  Look what a good job you did with the Oil division.  Did you know
AM that your father once took charge of this division and proved to his father
that he was very capable of running the company?  AM wasn't aware of this and
tells Alex he will accept it.  She tells him you have have my full support.  AM
asks does Vanessa know?  Alex says no.  AM says she is president.  Alex says
I'm CEO and you are next in line.  AM is suprised and says really?  Alex tells
him yes but I can't guarantee you AM what will happen in the future but if Nick
comes to work for Spaulding then you and Nick will decide who replaces me.  She
leaves.  AM looks at a real estate card and says I'll show you allright.

Whew!  I think that is all.  Good show and I was glad to see H.B. back.  I
don't think I left anything out but if I did please add on.
