Since Jeepman is gone this week, I decided to post an update of Monday's
because it was too good to miss...

Here goes...


Chilly's Pad  (Judgement Day)
------------

Ivagottasecretthatsabouttoexplode and JoolSlut arrive just as Juicy was about
to spill the beans about Error. Chilly wants to know why they aren't at the
wedding. While Chilly leaves the room to get some tea for everyone, Juicy
tells Ivagotta and Jool that she didn't come here to tell Chilly. Jool 
doesn't buy it. Juicy tells them that Chilly had another rejection from 
Hold'dumb last night so this isn't the right time to tell her. Ivagotta says
that there will never be a RIGHT time to tell her. (Well look who finally 
got a clue!!). Ivagotta says that the time has come to tell Chilly the truth.
"The time has come to tell me WHAT??", the Chilly one asks as she walks into
the room.


Chez Hughes  (the Wedding of the Year)
-----------

S'Yawn walks Court'menomore down the aisle as everyone looks on with goofy 
smiles on their faces and the choir shatters a few glasses. (My apologies to
those of you who enjoyed the wedding. Actually I did too, but it was a little
on the gagful side. Court looked very nice, although I didn't care for the
head piece. It looked a little like an old-fashioned headpiece that nuns 
used to wear.) "Thank You!", whispers Court to Andull. "Your welcome...
for what??", Andull replies. "For the autograph copy of Journey's End", 
Court says. Andull tells her it nearly made him late for the wedding. Then 
the priest cuts in and asks if they are ready to start. And the wedding 
begins...The priest asks if there is anyone there who thinks these two 
should not be joined together in wedlock (Do they really do this?? Any 
wedding I've ever been to, they haven't done this!!) Andy looks at JohnnyD
and he looks back with a "Don't look at me" look on his face. Court turns 
around and looks at S'Yawn, but he just shrugs his shoulders in resignation.
"Well we got past that one", Court says, as everyone laughs, and the wedding
continues...Instead of saying "I do" or "I will", Court'me says "Absolutely"
and Andull says "You bet I will". JohnnyD reads a passage from Shakespeare
(although I don't know what it was from...Anyone??) Then, Andull and Court
exchange their vows, which of course they've written themselves. I'm not 
going to go into that though. Suffice it to say that they promise to love,
honor and accept each other as they are, faults and all. After they finish,
they lean in for a kiss, but the priest stops them because it isn't time yet.
Then they exchange rings, and the priest proclaims them "man and wife".
(Not husband and wife, or woman and husband, but the old fashioned man and 
wife. I know, I know, I'm just trying to stir up trouble again). Finally,
they kiss as everyone applauds and smiles at them goofily (Is that a word??).


Chilly's Pad
------------

Enema calls to tell Chilly that Hold'dumb would like her to come to lunch,
but Chilly tells her that she can't because Iva, Jool, and Juicy are there
and want to tell her something. As she's talking to Enema, Juicy again
tells Ivagotta that she did not come here to tell Chilly the truth behind
her back. Ivagotta gives her the benefit of the doubt, but says that the 
truth is what's best for Chilly (the light has finally seemed to dawn for
Ivagottatellthetruthnow). Juicy points out that Ivagottabackbonefinally has
the most to lose...Chilly's respect, love, and Error. Chilly hangs up the
phone and gushes about Hold'dumb wanting her to come for lunch. "I think
I can handle anything now", she says, not realizing that that statemen is
about to be tested.


Mustang Ranch
-------------

Enema hangs up the phone looking like a worry wart. She tells Hold'dumb that
Chilly can't come to lunch. She tells him that Chilly was glad he wanted to
see her. Hold'dumb wants to know what Chilly said to upset Enema. Enema just
says that Chilly has a lot on her mind. "It's all my fault", Hold'dumb says.
Enema tells him not to blame himself. He feels guilty about not being able
to return Chilly's feelings.


Chilly's Pad
------------

Chilly wants to know what's going on. JoolSlut tells Chilly that two summers
ago she was in Park Forest about ready to have a baby, and that only Andull,
Sleaza and Ivagotta knew. She says that by the time Chilly got married, she
had given birth to a beautiful baby boy. Ivagotta jumps in and says that 
at that time, Jool was unable to take care of a child so she adopted him.
"Error??" says Chilly in confusion. Chilly wants to know why Ivagotta would
lie about the "friend who had the baby story". Ivagotta tells Chilly that 
Error is the dumb one's son. Chilly stands there with her mouth agape.


Chez Hughes
-----------

Court and Andull are posing for pictures. McDLT and Snooz smooch under the
mistletoe. McDLT asks her if she regrets not having a wedding like this. 
Snooz tells him she's hardly a 19 year old blushing bride and she's happy 
with the wedding they had. Frantic decides once again to stick out her neck
only to have her face slapped again (WILL THIS GIRL NEVER LEARN?????) She
tells Babs taht she did a good job with the gowns. She also says taht times
like this make her realize how important family is. "Please can't we try
to rebuild a relationship again?", she begs, losing any last shred of dignity
she had. Babs tells her that while Court and Andull were exchanging their 
vows, she was remembering her wedding day, and how happy she was. She 
slowly turns to face Frantic, nostrils at the ready...and...yes...there they
are...THEY'RE FLARING!!! "How can I forgive you??", Babs asks and walks away
while Frantic stands there looking forlorn. Klip tells JohnnyD and Kirk that
he should have gone with Jool to Chilly's. Well at least the truth will 
finally be out in the open, they all agree. Court tells the Hughes' how 
happy she is to be a part of the family.


Chilly's Pad
------------

Ivagotta tearfully tries to explain why she did what she did. Chilly tells 
them that yes it would have been a shock but she and Hold'dumb could have 
dealt with it together. She already knew that Holdie and Jool slept together
and it wasn't like he kept something from her. She's angry that they never
gave her and Hold'dumb a chance to work it out for themselves. She asks Iva
what gives her the right to keep the truth from Hold'dumb. Jool says that
was her decision and not just because of Chilly and Hold'dumb, but also 
because of Klip. Chilly says that maybe she could understand that but how
could Ivagotta, mother of Chilly, and sister of Hold'dumb play God with the
lives of Hold'dumb, Chilly and Error. Juicy tells Chilly that was her 
reaction when she found out the truth MONTHS LATER. She would have told her
right away. Chilly says she knows that because Juicy would have done 
anything to break up Chilly and Hold'dumb. Chilly accuses Ivagotta of not
telling the truth because she wanted to keep Error to herself. Ivagotta says
she always intended to tell Chilly the truth when "the time was right". 
Chilly says she doesn't believe her. Juicy tells Chilly not to be too hard
on Ivagotta, because it was Jool's secret and if Ivagotta hadn't adopted 
Error, God knows what Jool would have done with him. At this point Jool blows
her stack saying that while she will happily accept her part of the blame
"Don't you dare stand there and accuse me of not loving my child and wanting
what's best for him." She then tells Chilly that Juicy knew that Hold'dumb
was in the hospital in September but kept that to herself. "No, that can't
be true", Chilly says, "Say it aint so Juicy, Say it aint so!!" Jool explains
how Hold'dumb found out the truth from Dr. McKay and Dr. Sussman, that 
Juicy was posing as Mary Ellen Walters (which by the way is Juicy's real 
name. Hint: be ready for a future trivia question on this) who said she was
looking for her half brother. Dr. Sussman took her to see Hold'dumb, but
Juicy said he wasn't the man she was looking for. "Oh my God", Chilly says
tearfully. Juicy tries to explain that she did this to "protect Chilly".
"You had no intention of ever telling me DID YOU??" , Chilly wants to know.
"You let me think that he pawned his wedding ring, that he was on a freighter
halfway around the world, that he no longer loved me!! How could you mother?"
Jool tells Chilly that Hold'dumb came to see her in New York the night he 
was mugged. Iva tells Chilly that Hold'dumb overheard she and JohnnyD arguing
with Juicy about whether or not to tell Chilly the truth about Error. 
Hold'dumb went to see Jool for confirmation. "All these months I though I was
responsible", Chilly cries. Jool tells her she didn't know until weeks later
that Hold'dumb was missing, so she came to Yuckdale prepared to tell chilly
the truth but Juicy talked her out of it, telling her to wait until they
found Hold'dumb. "Juicy promised me she was doing everything she could to
locate Hold'dumb", Jool says. "And that was another lie", Chilly cries.
"All the lies come back to you, mother". "Except for the original lie", Juicy
points out. Ivagotta says she's to blame for that one and Jool jumps in with
"Me too!!" "You're all to blame", Chilly says. "that's the truth", Iva 
replies. "What would you know about the truth", Chilly screams. "Hold'dumb's
life is totally destroyed and my life is totally destroyed. Get out! I don't
want to see you ever again. GET OUT!!!!", she screams.

Andull reads a telegram of good wishes from QueerHair. JohnnyD makes the
toast. They cut the cake and then shove it in each other's faces. Frantic
tells Andull that whatever happens between her and QueerHair, QrHr will 
always think of him as a brother. "I'm glad of that", Andull says, proving
that despite all the progress he has made recently, he can still be 
incredibly stupid. Then Court and Andull dance to "their song". Klip tries
to call Chilly's but there is no answer. JoolSlut shows up and runs to Klip's
arms.


Mustang Ranch
-------------

Enema is peeling apples that no one will probably ever eat. Ivagotta shows
up and says "If you wanted to see me punished, I have been. Chilly wants me
out of her life." Enema reaches out to touch Ivagotta for the first time
in months but Ivagotta backs away. Iva asks Enema not to encourage Chilly
to hate her. She tells Enema that Chilly has rejected her and Juicy and
she feels rejected by Hold'dumb so Iva asks Enema to take care of Chilly.
Then Enema holds Ivagottadaughterthathatesme as she cries. Hold'dumb walks
in and asks Iva what's wrong.


Chez Hughes
-----------

Klip decides to go talk to Chilly. Jool decides to go along and wait in the
car. Babs looks on as Easily and Pall dance. Kirk asks Babs to dance. Babs
says no but she wouldn't mind talking to someone who looks as lonely as she
feels...Babs and Kirk??...Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Court throws the bouquet and 
Easily catches it. Andull throws the garter and Scooter catches it as Sleaza
says, "Lord, Juicy could be my daughter-in-law".


Juicy's house
-------------

Juicy is crying as Scooter comes in. He asks what's wrong. Juicy tells him 
that Chilly knows the truth about Error and it was worse than she thought 
it would be. Scooter asks if Juicy wants to be alone and she says no.


Chilly's Pad
------------

Klip shows up and Chilly has her coat in hand. (PLEASE TELL ME SHE ISN'T
GOING TO RUN AWAY). Klip tells her he just recently found out the truth so
he understands a little of what she's going through. Chilly says that Klip
and Jool are back together, but Hold'dumb is lost to her forever, because
3 people who said they cared about her lied. Chilly says she'll never forgive
the three of them. Klip tells her he didn't think he would forgive them
either, but time and love made a difference. Chilly tells him she doesn't
love Ivagotta and Juicy anymore. "They killed it".


Chez Hughes
-----------

Duke leaves, Court and Andull have left for their honeymoon. Tom and Margo 
tell everyone that they are doing Christmas for the boys this year, but for
everyone else, in lieu of presents, they are making donations in everyone's
name to the new AIDS wing at the hospital. S'Yawn thanks Sleaza for her
generous gift to Court and Andy of a honeymoon. "Oh good heavens", Sleaza
says, "I've had 6 honeymoons myself, 4 have been absolutely wonderful. I'm
just a hopeless romantic". "No kidding", Bob says.



Iva's Pad
---------

Iva tells Error that she loves him but loving him might not be enough. 
JohnnyD shows up thinking that Iva needs to be with someone who loves her.
They hug.


Mustang Ranch
-------------

Enema finishes making a wreath and goes upstairs. Chilly shows up and
Hold'dumb is glad to see her. Chilly says she didn't know how to face him.
"I don't know how to tell you", she says. "Tell me what?", Hold'dumb asks.


And that's a wrap.


I still can't believe that Chilly didn't run away. All in all, she handled it
pretty well. Sure she was mad and will "never forgive them", but at least
she didn't run away. THAT'S PROGRESS!!!

How much you want to bet, though, that something or someone prevents 
Chilly from telling Hold'dumb the truth, and the secret continues...
