I hope you don't mind that I left out a lot of the filler and storyline
recaps from todays' show.  I am going to be very pressed for time for the 
next two weeks and, well, you know how that goes.  I probably won't be able
to get next Tuesday's update out until a week later, either. :-(


MALLET, HARLEY, AND FRANK

Frank comes over to the firehouse and wants to know why they wanted to see
him so urgently.  Then he see Harley's engagement ring.  He is tickled pink.
AC goes to phone his dad to tell him the good news.  Frank and Harley discuss
how their lives have changed since last year.  He mentions that there will
soon be little kids running around this place, but she warns him not to talk
about that.  AC puts Harley on the line because his dad wants to talk to her.
She is a little nervous and blurts out *I think you're really going to like
me.*   Once she's off the phone she mentions that she wishes their father
was still alive.  AC open a letter from Canine Companions.  Now that he has
his hearing back, they need Xyla back, and will be sending someone to take
her to Washington DC.  They get sad.  Harley suggests that they take Xyla
to DC themselves.  She wants to visit the Veterans' Memorial so she can
*introduce* AC to her dad.  Frank asks her to take a picture of the Wall 
for him.  She asks him to tell AC about their dad, since he died when she 
was too young to have remembered him.  He tells her that their dad was 
a wonderful man and that _When the world lets me down, I think of how Dad
would have handled things._  AC invites Frank along.  Frank declines, but
he does offer to bring over a box of Dad's mementos to help them learn 
what he was like.


MINDY, DYLAN, AND SPINNER

Mindy gives Dylan a tour of her studio apartment.  She tells him that she
doesn't want him to tell anyone that she's in New York, but can tell from
his face that he already did.  He confesses that he told Billy, but 
emphasizes that he only did so because they love her.  Spinner comes over.
Mindums asks about AC, then slips in some questions about Nick.  Dylan 
tells her that Alexandra hasn't been in Springfield for months, so the
coast is clear for her to come home to see Nick.  (How do y'all like the
new Mindy?  So far, she plays the character differently enough that I'm 
having trouble accepting her as Mindy.  She comes across as being, well, 
too *intelligent* to be the Mindums that I have come to expect.)


NICK AND ELENI

In the spirit of Visit-Your-Dead-Relatives Day, Nick goes to Lujack's 
tomb.  He speaks of how he sort of misses Alex and that he owes it to her 
for causing him to get back together with Eve by keeping him in Springfield.
He also muses on Mindums.  Lujack's ghost appears and starts to give him 
advice on how to handle women.  However, E-Lamey shows up, so he disappears.
she has come down to introduce her baby to its relatives.  They chat about
having conversations with dead relatives.  Eleni confides that she wishes 
Nick and Wiener Boy were more like brothers.  He walks her back to the house.


ED AND EVE

Ed is at home, calling friends to see if they have seen Maureen.  Eve comes
over to give some cookies to Mo and apologizes to Ed for the way she acted
towards him at the hospital.  The phone rings.  It's Van returning Ed's
3 phone messages.  She doesn't know anything about where Mo has gotten to.
Eve can tell that something is wrong and expresses her concern.  Ed tells 
her that he and Mo just got some signals crossed, no big deal.  Eve offers
a sympathetic ear.  Ed says that what he really needs is a drink, but since
he's an alcoholic, that's out of the question.  He wants to go to an 
Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.  He asks Eve if she would be so kind as to
stay there until he gets back so that some one would be there when Michelle 
gets home.  She agrees.  He also asks her that if Mo calls, to *please*
find out where she is.  (I'm worried.  Are they trying to set things up 
so that Ed and Eve can possibly get together in the future?  Ick!)

Later, Ed returns from the meeting.  He admits to Eve that Mo has flown 
the coop because she found out that he and Lillian had slept together.


VANESSA, HENRY, WIENER BOY, AND ROSS

Vanessa and Henry have gone to the Spaulding mansion to give WB the bad 
news.  Van tells him that Henry isn't really Jenna's father while he tries 
to call her.  Roger answers the phone, however, and won't let him speak to
Jenna.  WB is a little confused, so Van explains the whole story and what
kind of impact this will have on the already financially strained Spaulding
Enterprises.  Van calls Ross, who is at home watching news reports that
mention how he *isn't* one of the new senators being sworn in today.  He
is relieved that someone finally wants to hire him as a lawyer again.  He
comes over.  Vanessa gets a call from a very distressed Mo.  She leaves to
go meet Mo someplace.  Ross tells Henry and WB that the situation is grim
and that their best bet is to offer Jenna a handsome settlement.  Henry
says that they are in such poor financial shape that they can't afford to 
do that.  He wishes that they could get ahold of Alex, but even Spaulding 
mail pouches to her are getting returned unopened.  Just then, Nick and 
Eleni return from their little visit to the mausoleum.  He asserts that
he will use his newspaper contacts to help find her.  They leave.  Eleni
can tell there's big trouble, so WB starts to fill her in.


ROGER AND JENNA

Jenna comes in just as Roger gets off the phone with Henry.  He tells her
that it was just a business call.  He pressures her to take revenge on
Henry.  She is upset with Roger, though, for ruining her family life, 
even if it was just an illusion.  She questions his motives.  She mentions
that when she found her *father*, for the first time in her life, she 
didn't care about money.  Roger says that that was Henry's plan.  Jenna
then realizes that if Brandon had not stolen her father's plans, her 
father would have come to England to be with her and her mother.  In effect,
Brandon stole her family from her.  Roger goads her to make Spaulding pay 
through the nose.  Her wants her to sue Spaulding and suggests that she
could take over the entire company.
