|>   Julia has been so silent on the subject of a baby and Julia tells him
|>   that since they can't seem to concieve and since he has made it abundantly
|>   clear how he feels about adoption she has decided to drop the subject.
|>   Gracie comes in looking slightly depressed and when offered freshly
|>   baked chocolate chip cookies, turns them down.  Julia is concerned and
|>   Mason is shocked that "the bottomless pit" is turning down food.  When
|>   pressed she explains that she just found out from the couple she has
|>   chosen to adopt her baby that the first and last time she will ever see
|>   "little Chester" is on his birth day.

|>   McCabe, Jerry and Kelly are discusssing whether to allow Andie permission
|>   to talk to Ken (ed note:  did I miss something, did Kelly join the SBPD?)
|>   They all agree it's a good idea.  Meanwhile, Andie replaces the doctored
|>   teabag with a fresh one and disposes of the poisoned one in the garbage.
|>   McCabe and Jerry come out and tell her she can see Ken.
|> 
|>   Micah is a trifle taken aback by Jodie's adavances and suggests that
|>   perhaps she should "take her foot off the throttle".  More car references
|>   are made and Jodie accuses Micah of being intimidated by a woman making the
|>   advances.  She challenges his mental picture of himself as a knight in
|>   shining armor with his lance in one hand and a damsel in the other.  
|>   He shugs off such suggestions but continues to back away from a sexually 
|>   charged up Jodie who starts reeling off her own version of poetry, "There 
|>   once was a girl from Nantucket...".  Once Micah realizes that what Jodie
|>   has in mind coincides with his own ideas for the evening they proceed 
|>   upstairs with Jodie promising Micah her own unexpurgated version of Mary
|>   had a little lamb.
|> 
|>   Julia asks Gracie what she would do if her son ever sought her out and
|>   asked why she gave him up and Gracie defends her actions stating that
|>   she is doing what is best for her baby.  Julia explains that children
|>   don't always understand what's best for them.  Gracie says she only
|>   wants the best for her baby and Julia and Mason tell her she's doing
|>   the right thing.  Gracie spots the plans for their house on the table
|>   and marvels at it's size.  The then takes a plate of cookies and is
|>   off to read a story to Samantha.  After she leaves Julia remarks that
|>   given half a chance Gracie would make a good mother.  "That's what they
|>   said about Ma Barker."  quips Mason.  The phone rings, Julia answers,
|>   it's Mrs. Trainer (the wife of the couple who want to adopt Gracie's
|>   baby).  Julia offers to get Gracie but takes a message instead.  She's
|>   looking unhappy as she hangs up.  At this moment Gracie comes back into
|>   the kitchen for milk to go with the cookies.  Julia tells her that Mrs.
|>   Trainer just called for her and Gracie immediately thinks it's because
|>   she's changed her mind about letting Gracie see little Chester.  No, says
|>   Julia, they've changed their minds about adopting little Chester altogether.
|> 
|>   Angela and CC are in Sophia's hospital room.  Sophia is doing much better
|>   but keeps questioning CC about where Ken is.  Angela has a gift for Sophia
|>   but Sophia insists that CC get Ken for her.  A "look" passes between CC
|>   and Angela and Sophia spots it and says she knows that "look".  She demands
|>   to know what's going on.
|> 
|>   Ken is in his cell yelling that he wants to talk to Andie.  Officer Jerry
|>   appears and hands Ken his tea and as Ken is demanding to see Andie she
|>   steps from behind Jerry.  Major yelling on Ken's part, Jerry leaves Andie
|>   and Ken alone to work it out.
|> 
|>   Jodie and Micah arrive upstairs and enter Micah's bedroom.  They stop
|>   kissing long enough for Micah to query "Do you know what's about to
|>   happen?". "Poetry in motion." replies the fair Jodie.
|> 
|>   Kelly is on the phone to McCabe (she's gone back to the hospital).  They
|>   have a really inane conversation when Officer Jerry walks in and tells
|>   McCabe that Andie and Ken are going at each other.  Jerry tells McCabe
|>   that he has someone staioned outside the holding cell.  McCabe figures
|>   he's done everything he needs to and takes off for the hospital instructing
|>   Jerry to call him if Ken confesses. (This whole scene was really, really
|>   dumb.)
|> 
|>   Andie is telling Ken to drink his tea, but Ken is too busy calling Andie
|>   every name in the book and accusing her of being a murderous killer.  He
|>   tells her he figured out that she's the one that killed off his two previous
|>   wives.  He remembers how she told him that it was unusual for someone as
|>   young as his first wife to have a heart attack but that it did happen and
|>   how it was just a coincidence that his second wife died the same way, but
|>   what he can't understand is why she had to hurt Sophia.  "Because she took
|>   something that didn't belong to her", replies Andie, "you."  Ken begs Andie
|>   to take out her revenge on him but to leave Sophia alone.  Andie lets Ken
|>   know that she has every intention of taking out her revenge on him.
|> 
|>   Julia and Mason are discussing the pros and cons of a billiard room in the
|>   new house.  Mason remarks that Gracie took the news of the Trainers changing
|>   their minds about adoption with "forgive the expression, unaccustomed
|>   grace".  Julia defends her.  Gracie walks in with Samantha and proceeds
|>   to tell Mason and Julia about a dream she had regarding this house that
|>   is an exact description of Mason and Julia's house.  They are skeptical
|>   about her motives, thinking she wants to move in but she says it's not
|>   her house but her baby's house.
|> 
|>   CC and Angela leave Sophia's hospital room and once outside Angela invites
|>   CC to dinner saying she's missed him lately.  McCabe and Kelly arrive and
|>   explain that Andie is trying to get Ken to confess.
|> 
|>   Ken is shocked that Andie has admitted to killing off two women and trying
|>   to kill off Sophia.  She explains that she wanted to pay him back for all
|>   the hurt and pain she suffered because of him.  If Reese hadn't come into
|>   her life, she proclaims, she's still be waiting by the phone for him to
|>   call.  Ken is practically speechless and goes over to the table and raises
|>   his cup of tea in a toast to Andie.
|> 
|>   ...there was a newsbreak here about the latest Baghdad crises so I don't
|>      know if I missed anything or not...
|> 
|>   Micah and Jodie are in bed having (insert favorite euphemism here for
|>   the "deed").  Micah asks her how she feels, great she replies.  She
|>   does confess to just a twinge of guilt feeling like a traitor to her
|>   marriage and her husband.  Micah reminds her once more that Reese left
|>   her and that she is free to do what she pleases and that that freedom
|>   is a gift.  Jodie compliments his bedside manner and he expounds on how
|>   much it improves with continued use but Jodie says she has to leave.
|>   Much as Micah tries to get her to stay he is unsuccessful.
|> 
|>   Just as Ken is lifting the cup of tea to his lips he stops.  They discuss
|>   Sophia a bit more and he finally drinks.  "You can't get away with this"
|>   he says.  "I already have" she counters and asks him how his tea is.  She
|>   then proceeds to explain very coldly and clinically that she has poisoned
|>   his tea.  She won't get away with it he yells.  But I will says she since
|>   the poison she used simulates a heart attack no one will ever be the wiser.
|>   Ken starts yelling for the guard (who apparently is deaf) and Andie stands
|>   back and watches his slow, agonizing death.
|> 
|>   CC and Angela are at the bar at the Oasis discussing the last few days
|>   events and CC asks her if she was upset watching Ted and Lilly marry.  She
|>   admits to having a twinge or two but life goes on.  She tells CC that
|>   she's really missed him the last few days but understands and respects
|>   the relationship that he and Sophia have.  CC goes on to explain how
|>   Sophia and he have always had a bond that couldn't be broken.  Angela
|>   asks CC if he shouldn't be with Sophia now and he agrees he should.
|>   
|>   Samantha wants to know if Julia and Mason are going to adopt Gracie's
|>   baby.  Mason suspects a conspiracy.
|> 
|>   CC is telling Angela how he feels about Sophia, he explains their history
|>   over the years and the fact that the children have always kept them close
|>   to one another.  Angela is visibly upset and suddenly remembers a meeting
|>   she has to attend.  They agree to get together the next evening.  CC gets
|>   up to leave and tells Angela he will give Sophia her love. As he walks
|>   aways Angela says "give her yours".
|> 
|>   Kelly and McCabe are with Sophia and Sophia wants to know why no one will
|>   tell her what's going on with Ken.  Kelly and McCabe exchange looks and
|>   tell her that Ken is under arrest for trying to kill her and for murdering
|>   his other two wives.  Sophia will have none of it.  She doesn't believe
|>   them and continues to deny that Ken would do anything to hurt her.  Kelly
|>   tries to convince her that it's true but Sophia is adamant - Ken wouldn't
|>   do anything to hurt her.  She vows that once she is well, she will prove
|>   that someone else tried to kill her but not Ken and then she will spend
|>   the rest of her days making it up to him.
|> 
|>   Back at the jail, Andie is holding on to Ken's hand as he breathes his
|>   last.  She looks pleased with herself, musses her hair a bit and starts
|>   yelling for help.  The deaf guard that didn't hear Ken yelling is gone
|>   and Jerry and McCabe, having heard Andie, come running in.  She tells
|>   them to call an ambulance, she doesn't know what happened.  Jerry is in
|>   the cell and says don't bother he's dead.  McCabe looks on, slightly
|>   perplexed.
