Happy holidays, everyone! This will be my last update for awhile.
Starting at noon this Friday, I'll be on vacation for two weeks.
If there is anyone who has time in the midst of holiday preparations
to do quicky updates for the next two Fridays, please feel free.
I'm not sure if there will be a show on New Year's, if there is
I'll tape and do an update. If not, my next regularly scheduled
update will be for the show on Friday, January 8 (which means I'll
post on Monday, Jan. 11). And now on with the show....

Friends to the Rescue
=====================
Lots of people are trying to help Bo cope with the death of Sarah.
And a lot of these storylines intertwine so I'll do them in order.

Tina calls Cain and he meets her at Bo's house. Her idea of helping
is to help remove Sarah's belongings and donate them to a homeless
shelter because she doesn't feel that Bo will be able to do this
himself. Because of Cord's death, she feels she knows what Bo is
going through. She asks Cain if he wants to prove he's changed and is a
good guy. When he says okay, she says help me break into Bo's house.
Cain's not so sure this is a good idea, but she tells him Andrew
has given his okay to her plan [she fails to mention that Andrew
thinks she's gonna tell Bo first]. Cain finally agrees to help.

Back at Rhodie's, Bo is attacking someone who has had too much to
drink and obviously plans to get behind the wheel of a car. Andrew
and Max try to pull Bo away from the guy. The guy punches Max, Luna
goes into mother-hen mode. Rhodie takes the keys from the guy and
sends him out to a waiting cab. Bo goes to the bar and relinquishes
his keys before Rhodie will give him another drink. Max, against
Luna's wishes, goes over to talk to Bo. Bo tells Max he shouldn't be
drinking, he just got out of the hospital. Max tells Bo it isn't 
any more dangerous for him than it is for Bo to be drinking in his
condition. Bo gives this some thought and appears to be coming
around. He tells Max he can't mourn for Sarah again. Andrew, Cassie,
and Luna look on as Max persuades Bo to let him and Andrew take
him home.

Meanwhile, back at Bo's house, Cain and Tina are chatting as
they pack Sarah's belongings. Cain says he hasn't allowed himself
to get close to anyone, that way if they die he won't miss them.
Then he admits that Tina changed all that. He says he can't love her
and not care for anyone else. His love for her has changed him.
Tina asks Cain if he really loves her or is just in love with the
idea of being in love. They start to kiss, but a knock at the
door interrupts them. It's Asa and he wants to know what they're
doing in Bo's house.

After Andrew and Max take Bo home, Cassie and Luna do some girl
chatting. Luna thinks it must be difficult for Cassie after what
happened between her and Bo, but Cassie says if Sarah's death had
happened before she and Bo had come to an agreement about their
relationship things might be worse. Then they talk about Luna and
Max. Luna wishes Max would be more careful. She is very afraid
of losing Max again.

In Andrew's car, Bo talks about the time he and Sarah went ice
skating in Connecticut. Max is in the back seat, looking very
uncomfortable. Bo wonders why the happy memories hurt so much.
He wants them to go away. [IOAS, so they'll probably go away
quicker than you think] Bo doesn't think that Andrew has ever
experienced despair. But Andrew assures him he has and has hit
bottom a couple of times this year. Max is in pain. Andrew hears
him moan and wants to take him home. But Max says they're there
to take Bo home.

Back at Bo's house, Tina is explaining to Asa what she is doing.
Turns out Asa approves. He tells her that for once he agrees and
that she better enjoy it because that'll never happen again.
They hear a car drive up and Tina and Cain rush out the back.
Bo, Max, and Andrew come in. Bo wants everyone to stop the
mother hen routine. Bo tells them he needs to help himself. Max
doubles over in pain.

Max assures everyone that the pain is normal, he's been operated
on and things have been moved around a bit. He's healing, just like
Bo has to. Max promises Bo that his friends are gonna nag him until
eternity if Bo doesn't agree to let his friends help. Bo seems to
see the light and sends Max and Andrew back to Rhodie's where 
Cassie and Luna are waiting. Asa stays behind.

Bo and Asa chat. And Asa shows a bit of a human side as he admits
that he has limits in what he can do for Bo. Bo thinks he's hearing
things. Asa tells Bo he'll stand by and help even if he can't fix
the pain. He feels the family is pulling back together since Clint
and Viki are back under the same roof. He tells Bo they're all
there for him. Bo's calmness is short-lived though as he notices
Sarah's belongings are missing. He goes ballistic and wonders where
they are. He sends Asa on his way; Bo promises to tear Llanview apart
until he finds Sarah's things.

Back at Rhodie's, Max, Andrew, Cassie, and Luna gather together.
Max assures everyone that he is taking care of himself. Cassie and
Andrew leave. Max wants to dance, Luna doesn't think it's a good
idea. Max tells her to stop acting like his mother. They dance
veryclose. Luna flashes back to her conversation with Death. Death
had told her that she had taken Luna's husband Bobby and there
wasn't anything Luna could do about that and Death could strike
again at any time. Luna panics, grabs Max's hand and rushes off
with him.

Meanwhile, Andrew and Cassie run into Cain and Tina. Cassie wonders how
Bo took it when he found Sarah's belongings missing. Tina drops the
bomb that she didn't tell Bo. Cassie and Andrew are upset. Andrew
tells her that Bo is a time bomb just waiting to go off.
 
In the next scene, we see Bo breaking through some glass doors
[anyone have any idea where this was? I couldn't tell.] He enters
the room and starts breaking and throwing things around and screaming
"where are Sarah's things." [cliffhanger]

Plan One Fails, Plan Two Inadvertently Activated
================================================
Asa and Blair are having their usual conversation about finding
other arrangements for Addie. Asa demands that something be done
after the baby's birth. Addie is at the top of the stairs and
overhears. She mumbles that she hates them both and wants Dorian.
Blair accuses Asa of only caring about the fact that she is carrying
his heir. She tells him he doesn't care about her needs. She tells
him that if it weren't for the baby he'd go back to Renee so fast
he'd leave skid marks. Asa's blood pressure rises a bit and he
tells her that THEY are going to the doctor and THEY will find out
if everything is going okay; and WE will take care of OUR mother.
He stumps out of the room.

Alex and Bulge welcome Mr. Miller, who turns out to be Dr. Miller.
Alex tells him she knows about his meeting with Blair and she wants
details. Dr. Miller is reluctant to talk, but Alex shows him some
papers that apparently show he was involved in Medicare fraud and
something else that would be considered a felony. He fesses up and
tells Alex that Blair isn't pregnant and she wants to fake a
miscarriage. He tells Alex that Blair is going to have a "riding
accident" and will show up at the hospital where he is to be
the resident on duty. And miraculously Blair will have a
miscarriage.

Back at Asa's, Blair places a call to have her horse saddled.
Addie overhears and thinks Blair is running away so that Asa can
put her in the hospital. Addie gets very agitated and slaps
Blair, scratching her face. She screams that she won't go. Blair gets
the nurse and Addie is given a sedative and Blair's scratch is
tended to. The nurse politely tells Blair that Addie could get
better care in a hospital. Blair takes offense and tells the nurse
that if she won't care for Addie then Blair will find someone who
will. The nurse takes off as Blair receives a call from Alex.

Blair tells Alex she can't talk she's on her way to....Riding? asks
Alex. Blair is taken aback. Alex mentions something about a sudden
accident and Dr. Miller's name. Blair is stunned. Alex tells
Blair to come over to discuss what Dr. Miller told her. Blair
tries hard to keep her cool but fails. She hangs up on
Alex and places a call to Dr. Miller. She's unable to get an
answer and becomes frantic.

Back at Alex's apartment, Bulge wonders why Alex cares so much
about Asa and Blair. She explains that Asa would go back to Renee
if he and Blair broke up. Bulge buys a vowel and realizes that
Alex has feelings for Morty. Alex gets weepy and tells Bulge
that she needs someone to share her money and power with. [I think
Bulge would take the job, Alex!] Bulge and Alex share a
heart-warming moment and talk about how Alex spent her life looking
for her father and met with disappointment when she found him.
She tells Bulge about her feelings for Bo and the disappointment
there. Poor Bulge, he offers Alex some ice cream and pie to help
cheer her up. Alex is pleased with his concern. She tells him that
her marriage to Carlo was a marriage of convenience but turned into
a real marriage of soul-mates. She says she may be ruthless but
not devoid of feelings. She wants to give love. Bulge quietly
tells her he knows how she feels [poor Bulge, I felt sorry for him.].

Back at Asa's, Addie is trying to stop Blair from leaving.
They're standing at....you guessed it....the top of the stairs.
Blair is trying to calm Addie. A struggle ensues, Addie pushes
Blair...and it's the same ol' fall down the stairs to cover up
losing a baby that was never there storyline. Addie is upset, Blair is
unconscious. Asa arrives to see Blair at the bottom of the stairs
and Addie standing at the top. He glares menacingly up at
Addie and takes a step upwards. [something resembling a cliffhanger]

Have a safe, holiday, everyone! Talk to you all next year!!
