*DOORKNOBS AND HOT SEX
Ryan and Vicki start making out by candlelight in the attic.  Steamy foreplay.

They are going at it hot and heavy until Ryan finds a doorknob that might fit the
broken door.  To Vicki's chagrin it works and things are awkward.  He promises 
to call her and they leave the attic.

Frankie is studying; Ryan comes in.  He tells her a little about his encounter
with Vicki.  "I still love her and that has got to stop.  The bottom line is I
can't trust her, not at all."  She's betrayed him.  Frankie points out that Cass
did the same to her.  "But Kathleen wasn't your sister and Cass never lied to 
you."  "No and you never lost a baby Ryan."  He apologizes.  She gives him some
emotional advice.  "You can forgive.  Your heart is big enough.  That's what 
makes you different from Carl."  He is however, seeing parallels between Spencer
and Justine with himself and Vicki.  Then we hear Spencer at the door.

Frankie leaves father and son alone.  Spencer wants to fix their relationship.
Spencer mentions an essay Ryan once wrote about him.  He wants to win Ryan's
respect back.

Spencer voices his regrets about a wasted life.  He promises that Ryan will be
first in his life now.  He also dedicates his resources to keeping Ryan out of
the stir.  "I don't care what you say Ryan but we will be a family again if I 
have to build us from the ground up."  "I'm not your son."  Major shouting.  
Spencer is determined to deny genetics, "I am your father and you are my son."

*WHAT TO DO WITH LILY
John enters the kitchen to find Lily mopping the floor.  He makes her stop; he
also wants to find her another place to stay.  She makes him a meal; says she'll
sleep in the barn.  They talk about Vietnam; she talks about the place where she
lives with her mother.  His barn is "a palace compared to that."  John still 
wants to find other accommodations for her.

Lily volunteers to leave, but John finds out she doesn't know anyone in the US.
She can't even locate her father's relatives. (Query: she showed up saying that
she only had his address, but he lives on the Frame farm now.  He used to live
on a houseboat or something, so what gives?)  John agrees to let her stay 
another night.

He takes her to a room Sharlene particularly loved (her workroom?)

*WILL THE STALKER GET JENNATHEWHINER OR VICE VERSA?
Jenna is bitching to Dean because Lorna "ruined" her celebration (I cannot wait
until she learns that Lorna is Felicia's daughter ;-)).  Just then Frankie 
bursts in "I think I found the guy who's been stalking Jenna!" (mini 
cliffhanger).

Jake joins them and Frankie says she exaggerated a bit (more like a ton).  From
a letter the guy wrote Jenna, she's determined that the stalker has to be 
someone connected with the university, most likely a student.  Jenna also 
probably knows him.  They go upstairs to brainstorm possible names (my vote is
for Frankie's classmate Alan).  Jake remarks to himself that someone else is 
going to be caught "Jamie you got it coming to you in spades."

Frankie touches base with Jenna.  She leaves.  Jenna whines some more about
Lorna.  As Dean and Jenna neck, we see hands place a beribboned box against the
door.  They prepare to leave and find the box.  Dean runs off and Jenna opens 
it.  It's a mirror.  The card reads "And thy beauty is about to fade..."

*SEX, EDITING, AND VIDEOTAPE
Kelsey and Jamie are beginning the first steps of the horizontal tango (still in
vertical mode though) at her apartment.

Meanwhile Jake is viewing the tape he made of them kissing passionately.  Jamie
is saying something about choosing his new assistant.  Jake comments "Oh yes 
this is going to edit together so nice."

Jake edits the video so that Kelsey and Jamie's conversation takes on a new 
spin.  Jake has also written a cover letter to the hospital board.  He encloses
it all in a manila envelope and heads for the hospital.

The two MDs are enjoying a post-coital chat which of course leads to a refrain.

Jake bumps into Vicki at the hospital.

Another refrain.

Jake teases her.  She must be here to see Grant.  They spar a little.  He gives 
his time bomb to the nurse and leaves.

*SOULSEARCHING OR PERSON SEARCHING? YOU BE THE JUDGE
Spencer phones Cass--he's trying to reach Frankie.  Iris shows up, peeved that 
he didn't call her.  He pleads family problems.  They make up, but Spencer 
claims he just went away to be alone (why do I find that hard to believe?). He
blames himself for ruining his marriage--he was too concerned about amassing 
wealth and power.  "You Iris are the one right thing in my life."  Iris can't 
understand why he won't let her get close.  He says he had decisions to make.

Iris wants to know if she has a place in his life.  He says he loves her, but 
she's pressuring him, "I'm not any good for you Iris.  It's not fair to you."
His family precedes all else right now.  She protests that she needs him.  
(Apparently, she's not being dumped.)

*SUPER SPENCER?
Darryl runs into Iris who has a gift for Tommy.  He's in bad shape, in fact he's
terminal.  Iris okays experimental tests done at her expense.  A very touching 
scene between her and the little boy.

Iris is cajoled into telling a bedtime story.  A superhero story with Spencer
as the protagonist.  She finishes her allegory and Tommy falls asleep.  She
lives and receives Jake's package.  Jake looks on.  Freeze frame.
