Ross is at home brushing his teeth when the phone rings.  The answering machine
picks up and it is Blake telling Ross not to forget a meeting this afternoon
and I love you.  Ross doesn't pick up the phone and looks thoughtful.

Fade to Holly's house where a man has come by to pick up some stuff for the
poor or something and Holly tells him I have had this stuff boxed up figuring
my daughter would come and get her stuff but now I know she won't be back.

Fade to Roger at home listening to the TV about Ross' campagin and holding the
pictures of Ross and Blake.

Cut to commercial.

Vanessa walks in AM's office and tells him that the police have stopped someone
at the airport with the stolen confidential papers from Spaulding.  I will go
down to the police station myself so maybe we can keep things quiet.  AM
doesn't want to do this and tells her we have to go ahead and press charges. 
It doesn't matter who it is.  Henry is there too and listens as AM convinces
Vanessa that we have to go ahead and file charges.  VAnessa finally agrees and
Henry looks at AM suspciously.

Meanwhile, Nick is at the police station and Harley questions him if he ever
left his flight bag alone.  He says yes in a little cafe (when he was talking
to Eve's husband) but it was just for a few minutes.  Chief Ryan comes up and
tells him that he will probably be charged with espionage and they read him his
rights.  Nick can't believe this and tells them to give him a polygraph.  He
hasn't read any of those documents.  Chief Ryan says doesn't matter if you
read them but you were in possession of them.  Harley tells Nick that Spaulding
will probably have to press charges or something about the government will drop
contracts with Spaulding.  Nick says I will call AM and he can straighten this
whole thing out.  He knew what I was doing in Paris and even opened some doors
for me.  Harley is suprised to hear this and says AM?  She starts thinking
suspciously of AM.  Nick calls AM but he doesn't answer the phone.  Henry asks
why and AM says I am having all my calls go to the receptionist so as not to
interrupt us.

Roger goes to Holly's house and tells her we need to talk.  You knew didn't
you?  That is why you fired her from WSPR and kicked her out of the house. Why
didn't you tell me?  Holly says because you wouldn't have believed me against
your precious daughter.  Roger tells her about Blake sending him on a wild
goose chase with the escort service.  Holly asks him why he believes it now and
Roger says because I walked in on Ross and Blake.  Why aren't you laughing? 
Holly says it is not funny because you believed in her.  Roger explains that he
slapped Chrissy, etc but he really believes that Ross took advantage of her. 
Holly says Blake was already sleeping with Ross before you asked her to work on
the campaign and I'm not going to stand here and help you forgive her. Roger
tries to justify Blake's actions but Holly keeps saying but she was sleeping
with your worst enemy.  Finally Roger asks what are we going to do?  I can make
sure Ross doesn't get elected but at what cost to Chrissy?  She is so
vulnerable and Ross knows that.  I'm sure he will just dump her after the
election.  Holly says Ross isn't the mastermind behind this.  It is Blake and I
am tired of you excusing her every action.  She always has you for her safety
net.  Let Blake make a mistake and learn from it without us helping.  She will
know that we do love her.  Roger asks you mean throw her to the wolves?  Holly
says do whatever you please but unless you want her to turn out just like you
we better do something different this time.  Roger says you have made your
point but understand we will have to be accountable too and he leaves.

Ross has skipped his meeting and arrives at Ed and Mo's cabin.  (The one where
the Daniel and holly storyline climaxed)  Ed is there too and both are suprised
to see each other. They build a fire and Ed talks about missing his mother,
Bert.  Ross tells him everyone misses Bert.  Ed says I screw up but don't ask
me why.  (he doesn't explain to Ross why he screwed up)  Ross says its no bed
or roses being the pillar of the community is it?  Ross tells Ed about Roger
finding out about him and Blake.  He also has photographs and I know he will
try to hurt me but do you think he will hurt Blake.  Ed tells him not to put
anything past Roger.  Ross says I am going to stay away from Blake until after
the election for her sake but what do I tell her?

Meanwhile, Mo and Blake are talking and Blake explains about Roger finding out
and slapping her.  She worries about what daddy will do but whether Ross wins
or loses the election Ross is still mine.  Mo talks about meeting Ed and
trusting him and loving him, ect.

Nick asks Harley if AM has called back yet?  Harley says no but tells him about
seeing AM while Nick was in Paris and AM was acting strange.  Nick confesses to
Harley that the number he found in Musette's jacket was to the Paris Spaulding
branch office.  AM didn't want me to tell anyone yet.  Vanessa arrives and
tells Chief Ryan she is here to press charges but is shocked when she finds out
Nick if the one she will be charging.  Vanessa calls AM's office looking for
Henry.  AM lies and says he isn't here.  He hangs up but Henry knows Vanessa
was on the phone.  Vanessa looks at Nick and he asks her are you getting me out
of here?  Vanessa says I'm sorry and I'm sure it is a mistake but I have no
choice.  Nick says wait Chief Ryan.  I am Alexandra's son and I sit on the
board of directors.  Even if I had took the documents I would have been able to
read them..  Vanessa says sorry Nick but even the board members have
restrictions on certain things.  She signs the charges and leaves.  AM comes in
but they have already taken Nick away.  Harley comes up and says sorry AM Nick
is already in his cell but if you want I will give him your love.  She says
this real sarcastic and AM looks at her nervously.  We see Nick in his cell.

Ed comes home and tells Mo he had a free afternoon and decided to go to the
cabin to think.  

Ross goes home and turns on his answering machine.  We hear a ton of messages
from Blake and when Ross turns on the lights he sees Blake sitting on his bed. 
She looks at him and after all the messages are done she quietly says hi.  Ross
apologizes for missing the meeting this afternoon but he wasn't in a mood to
talk.  Blake suggests they go to bed so he doesn't have to talk at all.  Ross
gets up and says I don't think we should sleep together until after the
election.  Blake is shocked.

Roger is back home looking at pictures of Chrissy/Blake when she was little. 
He then looks at the one of her and Ross and calls Gilly and tells her to make
room on the 11:00 news.  He has an important story to run and I have
photographs to go with it.
