     As someone else noted, the canine diurnal cycle has set
in.  Action at a minimum yesterday, but an interesting
cliffhanger.

     Tuesday on "Le Bolde and Le Beyouteful"

     Brooke hears the doorbell and hopes for the Ridge.
Running to the door, she only finds a returning Sheila.
They grab the last Samsonite, and head out the door, Brooke
in the lead.  Sheila closes the door and smiles the "smirk
of triumph" behind her.

     Felicia's at the Bikini Bar when Zach enters.  He comes
over to her and tells her not to ask questions -- does she
have a place she can stay out of town and out of sight?
What's this about, Zach?  Does it have anything to do with
what you said about killing a man?  Yes, well, no, but... I
said no questions!  Can you go?  Yes, my family's got a
cabin at Big Bear.   Great!  He hugs her and spies Ganz on
the patio.  He tells her to go there, right now.  Felicia
leaves.  Zach goes out to parley with Ganz.
     What're you doing here, Ganz?  Zach asks.  Is it a done
deal?  Ganz asks.  Meanwhile, Felicia sneaks back in and
watches them talking from inside the bar.  Yeah, it's a done
deal, Zach says.  Too bad, Ganz says, I mighta let him off
for a $100,000.  Life's expensive these days but it's worth
something.  You mean for a $100 G's you would have let my
Dad off?  Too late now, Zachie-boy, and by the way, you got
any proof - a photo of the stiff.  No, I haven't got any
proof, I whacked him in the head, there was blood
everywhere!  So where's the body?  I tell you, you call the
cops and I'm doing hard time, Zach says.  Ganz tells him
that he better not be lying, or Felicia Forrester gets the
bullet that had Jack Hamilton's name on it.  He exits
(Felicia ducks out of sight as he goes out).

     Jack's on the phone to the bank.  All he can get out is
$20K, Sally has to sign for the rest.  Jack tells them to
send a courier with the $20K.  The banker asks why, and Jack
says because of Spectra's dire straits, all the suppliers
want C.O.D.  The banker tells Jack he's doing a great job,
and after he hangs up, Jack says "Yeah, a great job -- for
an embezzler!"

     Stephanie finds Taylor in the study studying.  Great
day, Doc, have some cheap bubbly!  Brooke is Paris-bound and
good riddance, I say!  Taylor says she can't celebrate,
though having Brooke gone makes life a little easier.  She
asserts that it doesn't REALLY matter that Brooke's gone,
because her marriage is sound.   Even with Brooke possibly
pregnant with Ridge's babee?  Even then.  Taylor feels a
little sorry for Brooke and wonders how she got the way she
is.  Steph says don't feel sorry -- if she could she'd steal
Ridge right out from under your thighs, I mean nose.  Taylor
says it's not my nature to gloat, it's my job to make people
feel better.  In a segue, Steph suggest that Taylor consider
starting a family.  Why, do you want a grandchild?  Taylor
asks.  No, but children cement a family.  Taylor retorts
that having children is not a good way of keeping a marriage
together.  Steph argues the point a bit and says one of her
famous Stephanieisms:  "I suggest you think about what I
said."
     
     Jack gets the money from the courier and tosses it on
the bed.  It's only 20,000 and he needs 100,000.  He
considers how he might raise the remainder.  He thinks "Why
not?  Hmmm..." as he riffs the bill, then throws them down,
saying "Because I CAN'T!"
      Zach comes in and tells Dad that Ganz was at the
Bikini Bar.  He told him the story.  He sees the money, and
says it's not enough!  We need 80,000 more.  Jack says I've
got an idea on how to get the rest.  Zach says you better do
it, because if you don't he's going to kill my girlfriend!
Zach leaves.  Jack thinks about it again...

     At the airport, Brooke is talking to Eric Jr. while
Sheila checks the ticket.  Sensing that little Eric wants
ice cream, Brooke asks Sheila to get some for him.   Sheila
takes that opportunity to call Stephanie and report that
Brooke will be boarding pronto.  Meanwhile, Brooke sees a
Mommy with a baby, then a handsome father come over (credits
said Wes Montgomery -- does this sound familiar?  It does to
me for some reason.)  Brooke cries to the baby that she's
sorry.  The boarding call is made.  Brooke wonders where
Sheila and little Eric are.  She sees the beaming family in
line ahead of her and wonders "Why couldn't that be me?"
     "LOGAN?"
     Brooke turns and is astounded to see Ridge, his facial
expression projecting concern (this was astounding in
itself!).
     "I have to talk to you, Logan," Ridge says.

Swell music, fade to black...

Tune in tomorrow, when we hear Ridge recommend:

     "Wouldn't you get to Paris faster on the Concorde,
Logan?"
