	Let's get right to it, shall we?

	Wednesday on "The Bold and the Beautiful"

	IT AIN'T BARCELONA, BUT IT'LL DO

	It's pool-party time at the Forresters.  In a corner of the palatial
patio, Ridge and Taylor do a warm-up for some nocturnal nookie.  They look
around.  Sly and Felicia are dancing cheek-to-cheek, which pleases 
Ridge.  Stephanie and Jack are dancing lip-on-lip, which displeases Taylor.
She leaves to "slip into something more comfortable."
	Jack and Stephanie discuss their own rookie rendesvous, moonlight
and surf.  Stephanie asks Jack "is this really happening to us?" and Jack
replies "Depends on what you mean by THIS (Total Hormonal Intense Surge?)"
	Sly asks Felicia what the heck could be wrong with Zach's head that
he can't handle Felicia's family -- they're all so NICE.  Felicia wonders
what Zach is up to with helpmeRhonda, "the cheerleader".

	ONE MOVE AND YOUR DEAD, ZACHIE-BOY

	Exactly what Sal (my current best guess at his name) tells Zach
as he allows Zach to sniff the end of his cocked revolver.  More on this
later!

	MEANWHILE, BACK AT ZE POOL

	Stephanie and Jack do a reprise on the kiss scenario.  MamamiaMaria
comes over and rudely interrupts the osculatory process -- there's someone
on the phone from his answering service.  He takes the call and finds he's
been called in to work by Spectra.  He tells Stephanie he has to work (but
not where) due to a money-crunch.  Ridge and Taylor amble by to say 
their good-byes, and Jack says he has to go.  Work, you know.  Even though
it's the rock-solid truth, Taylor is dubious.
	Felicia looks out over the city -- what a great view.  Sly says do
you get used to it?   No, I never take it for granted, she says.  They sit
down.  Sly says, you know, babe, if things don't connect for you and the
comb-impaired Zach, do you think down the line, like maybe, in a different
time-line, we might get to play "locksmith and the rusty doorknob"?  Felicia
says I'm not ready to be with anyone right now.  Sly accepts it, but just
to make sure, gives her a non-lingual kiss.  Subsequently, Felicia and Sly
agree that there's still Zach.  However, Felicia attempts to soften the
blow by saying that Sly is a special friend, more than a brother, etc.
(I see them in a horizontal scenario at approximately the exact wrong time,
such as when Zach comes over for a kiss and makeup visit.  10-cent bet.)

	MEANWHILE, BACK AT ZE BIKINI

	Sal the Enforcer appears ready to ventilate Zach's cranium.  
After telling him "One move and you're dead," he follows by saying "What
the hell, you're dead anyway!"  Not exactly music to Zach's ears.  After
a lengthy cross-eyed look at the smallbore, Zach smiles and says, "C'mon
man, what do you want?"  Sal explains that at the end of this escapade, 
both he and Jack will be kelp fertilizer.  But Zach attempts to bargain --
he was only the bag-man, Jack was the bad guy!  Sal relents.  You're right,
what I really want is Jack Hamilton dead, and YOU do it.  Zach is stunned.
Rewind on that last comment?  You want to live, Jack dies.  After all,
you wouldn't miss him, would you?  If he hadn't done what he did, your mother
might still be alive.  Zach lunges on Sal -- not a good idea when Sal has 
the gun, which he proceeds to remind Zach.  With the gun under his chin,
Zach courageously says there ain't no way I'll kill Dad -- pull the trigger!
Sal doesn't.  He takes a walk on the beach and starts musing on his 
persuasion methods.  What's her name, Felicia?  Leave her out of this, Zach
says, foolishly lunging at Sal again.  Sal still has the gun, he reminds
Zach one more time (dumb, dumb, dumb!).  Here's the way it is -- either you
"do" Jack, or Felicia gets "dead".  And it better be soon!
	Sal leaves.  Zach is bummed in extremis at this news.

	(I see a botched robbery to pay off gambling debts in the past
history of the Hamiltons, eh?)

	QUICK UPDATE AT THE SPECTRA CONDO

	Jack comes over to see Sally.  She's still shaking about Clarke's
brazen offer.  Jack says it's just an initial bargaining position.  But
I can't bargain with him!  Sally says.  Fine, let the lawyers work it out.
But I'll never let him have 0.5 of 1% of this company!  I'm worried, Jack!
She says "this is one of those dark nights of the soul" and I don't want
to go through it alone.  Stay with me, Jack?  Jack says he will.  (Doubt
this was a proposition, but we don't know for sure.)

	Thursday's ep was a doozy -- stay tuned!
