Hi guys!  Here at sunny Auburn, no update for 4/15 has made it through.
Since it was such a BIIIIGGGGG day in Oakdale-land, I'm gonna try to
do this.  Also, Doc forgot to set his VCR, so he needed to know ---

And by the way, my "spoiler" came when I opened my new TB Guide that came
in yesterday's mail and out lept the phrase "Chairolyn's murder"... 'scuse
me, MRS CRAWFORD.

Now, on with the shewww!

As we all remember from Friday's episode, Chairo's in bed frantically trying
to call out on a phone that is dead dead DEAD.  She hears noises downstairs,
and calls out to DanaV.  No answer.  We see a hand in a black glove turning
OFF the security system.  <SO YES, DANAV DID TURN IT ON WHEN SHE LEFT>

DanaV shows up at the Cellar.  The gang's all there -- Courtme, 'Drunk, 
Fannie and McDLT.  DanaV comes up to all and says HI GUYS I'M SO GLAD BILL
called me, here I am --- Bill walks  up and says HEY Dana, want a drink, er
a soda, giggles all around.  They walk to the bar and Bill says gee, I was 
going to call you and ask you to come down here -- DanaV says gee, you DID
call, that's why I'm here, after all.  He assures her he's glad to see her,
but she gets all embarrassed and runs out of the Cellar. -- Oh, I've gotta
go home, oh, I'm sorry.  NOW GEE, GUYS, the guy made it plain he was happy
to see her.  Wouldn't YOU stick around and enjoy his company under the
circumstances?  Anyway, the point is made by either DanaV or bill that gee, 
only Courtme and 'Drunk knew they had met. . . <They never mention Fannie, 
McDLT, Chairo, etc.>

'Drunk and Courtme comment to Fannie how weird that DanaV ran out like that.
After only 5 minutes, too.

Fannie and McDLT are enjoying Fannie's black sequined mini-dress, and FAnnie
is upset because DeerOArther was ugly to her upstairs.  She's now distraught
because Chairo knows all about her feeling for HDD (you didn't act on them,
the doc assures), how can they be comfortable with all their mutual friends,
etc, and McDLT says maybe they will just go back to DesMoines.  They can't
they just bought the house, Dr. Samuels is here...McDLT reminds her that 
there are OB's in DesMoines but she is inconsolable.  She asks if they
can go to TomTom & Cargo's so she can tell them about all this.

Meanwhile, at TT & Cargo's, HDD keeps trying through the Mexican take-out
to call Chairo.  The line is still busy.  At one point he thinks they may
be practicing Chairo's therapy, but he finally gets worried.  In the meantime,
Lt and Gram McClosky come in with a pie for dessert or something.  How very
convenient.  Lt says no report of HDD's assault of DeerO has been filed.

DanaV comes back from the Cellar and calls for Chairo.  She goes into the
bedroom and sees it ransacked (obvious attempt to make assault look like
robbery).  The window is opened, curtains in breeze.  Bed is empty.  "Carolyn,
Carolyn? " (insert increased panic) "Carolyn?  CAROLYN?"  Finally she turns
around and SHRIEKS -- sees Chairo in corner in a heap.  Goes to body and
reaches for pulse.  NOW GUYS, I have to tell you that EVEN THO I KNEW SHE
WAS DEAD, DanaV's left me shaky and scared.  Not as good at DOA and the
incest revelations (at the beginning), but still good acting, IMHO.

HDD readies to leave TT&C's Mexican eatery and DanaV falls in door.  I DIDNT
KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO..........IT'S YOUR WIFE.  cut.

Now a pleasant little interlude.  'Drunk and Courtme sneak in the window 
again and this time 'Drunk plans to stick around -- uh, stick, uh, well,
look now like it's not jus XVLein.  No actual consummation yet, but definately
underway for tomorrow's show.

Next we go back to the CRIME SCENE.  Lt and Cargo (OK, SansCargo) doing police
stuff.  Dust for prints.  Question DanaV.  Try to contact the servants (now if 
it makes sense for ALL the staff to have 1-1/2 days off, just let me know. I
want that job.)  HDD goes bonkers, screaming at DanaV that they TRUSTED her, 
couldn't she have CALLED him, why did she think he left a NUMBER WHERE HE
COULD BE REACHED, how COULD she??!!!  He's a real ass, but hey, his RICH
wife just died.  They determine who may have had keys -- DeerOA's name came up.
DanaV says Chairo couldn't find the key he was supposed to have left.  They
send the Copster to pick him up and he get there are show ends.

But no, not yet!  Gee, sorry for world's longest update.

Hunk and Mess have dinner "just pals" at Ellie's.  Oysters, champagne.  Hunk's
cute grin.  Then LUCYBITCH trrails in -- heard you were haveing a business 
dinner.  Gosh I just love oysters, and a man who will do what the police cant
or wont.  Kinda spoils Jess's appetite and Hunk's postdinner plans.

Then LucyBitch sashays into Cork and BBoop's privacy.  He's just convinced BB
that A)he was out having drinks w/ prospective client earlier and B)he only
kissed CBlitzen to calm her down, she was frazzled, help relieve tension (hey,
I think that spells SEXUAL HARRASSMENT SUIT but what do I know).  BBoop agrees
to plant a big juicy kiss on Ted or Clint next time the office is tense when
LBitch mentions how great it was for Cork to work late with conner, how help-
ful he was, sends Cork out of the room and tells BBoop to see the writng on
the wall ---  BBoop glares.  For the fashion conscious, BBoop is wearing a 
black jumper with b/white patterned top; jumper makes her breasts look about
15 times there normal size, and otherwise quite stupid.

Gosh, guys, guess that's finally a wrap!  Sorry for the excruciating detail,
but hey, you never know what's important in a murder!
