    We interrupt your regularly scheduled update to bring you this
    special edition of _Corinthian_Digest_.

    Today's themes: _Anticipation_
                    _Redemption_
                    _Gaslight_


    _Anticipation_

            For some reason known only to the writers of the show, Casey
        is taking pictures of Dinah Lee for Brunelle's Catalog as Ava
        supervises and Allison watches.  The location?  The `Main'
        terminal of Corinth International Airport.  We are, however,
        treated to a montage of Dinah Lee in a variety of fashions.
            Casey, being that sensitive guy that we've all come to love,
        senses that Allison has been acting strangely towards him.  When
        confronted by Casey, Allison denies that she has been avoiding
        him.  She then enters into a long refrain of "Do you love me"
        and "Do you mean it" anxious enough to send any man scampering
        for the hills (or his lawyer).
            Casey, however, in an attempt to prove that the writers are
        familiar with the concept of `dramatic irony', begins to
        rhapsodize on the themes of love, domesticity, committment, and
        children.  In order to get Allison to finally shut up, he kisses
        her.
            Ava, meanwhile, has been thinking of Leo.  She is worried
        that he will do something stupid or heroic (often the same
        action seen from different points-of-view).

    _Gaslight_

            Clay brings his daughter and son-in-law home for dinner.
        His wife, Stacey (thought I'd better specify), is less than
        thrilled.  You'll remember that letter which she received `from
        Jack'.
            Stacey and Trisha go upstairs where Stacey tells Trisha about
        the letter, and tries to show it to her.  It is missing.  After
        asking the Au Pair, it is discovered on the bureau.  Trisha,
        after reading it, get a concerned look in her eyes.  The letter
        is a love letter from Jack dated almost two years previously.
            Clay, meanwhile, is trying to `bond' with Trucker.  He begins
        by expressing his concern about Stacey, and asking for Trucker's
        help.  Clay goes on to talk about how people change, and how,
        while Stacey and Clay are not `in love', they do care about each
        other (etc, etc, ad nauseum).
            When the women rejoin the men, a toast is offered by Clay to
        `the newlyweds'.  Clay is being an exceedingly gracious and polite
        host (no wonder Trisha and Trucker keep checking their backs).
            Stacey `withdraws to her boudoir' leaving Clay with Trisha
        and Trucker.  Trisha lies to Clay about what she and Stacey had
        been discussing.  Again Clay asks for their help in caring for
        Stacey.
            Meanwhile, Stacey is talking to herself (statements of the
        "I'm not crazy" variety -- mental health poster child she's not)
        when she discovers a giftwrapped box.  It's a teddy bear.
        "Jack, you remembered", shame I didn't.

    _Redemption_

            Leo, with Jeremy at his elbow, speaks to Butler on the phone.
        A deal is struck, the price set, and a meeting place chosen.  By
        some bizarre coincidence, it is to be the `Main' terminal of
        Corinth International Airport.  Butler makes it clear to Leo
        that death will be the result of any doublecross on his part.
            Jeremy has slipped a transmitter into Leo's jacket, and a
        very nervous Leo maintains a lively, if one sided, conversation
        with Jeremy.
            When Butler and Leo meet, Butler gets cold feet (he doesn't
        have the candlesticks on him), discovers the transmitter, decks
        Leo, and runs.  Jeremy enters from stage left with two members
        of Europol on his tail.  Rather than pursuing the perp., they
        stop to see if Leo is okay.
            Butler escapes from the terminal just in time to meet a
        bus which, coincidentally, is the backdrop for Dinah Lee's
        latest shot, and, also coincidentally, is carrying passengers
        and staff from a flight which originated in London, England.
            Butler has a gun out, grabs a stewardess, and threatens her
        life.  Leo, having somehow managed to beat Europol and Jeremy to
        the tarmac, jumps Butler and grabs for the gun.  During the
        struggle, the gun discharges.
            Jeremy shouts:  "Ceara....."  He would hardly have been as
        surprised if he had picked up his messages!

        [Cliffhanger] -- well, not really <GRIN>.
