Two main themes today:

* Stacy Goes Ballistic
* Ally Moans and Whines

[The Rescott's]

Ally is downstairs on the sofa reading a Planned Parenthood
pamphlet and hides it quick as Kate comes downstairs looking
for her.  Kate has made Ally her favorite breakfast and wanted
to serve it to her in bed.  Ally looks at the tray and looks
sick.  Kate inquires as to her health - is she getting the
flu?
Bzzzzt at the door - it's Cooper wanting to talk to Ally.
Kate tells Coop not to get too close to Ally - she's coming down
with something contagious and he doesn't want to catch it [ha ha].

[Stacy's]

Trucker, Trisha and Clay are downstairs having coffee served by 
Jeanne.  Clay wants to go check on Stacy whose been sleeping
all night thanks to the sedative.  T&T try to stop him - after
all, she was very afraid of him last night!  Well, by god, he's
her husband - he goes up anyway.  

He knocks on her door; no answer.  He opens the door and sees the
room apparently empty! He walks in only to have Stacy, who's been
hiding behind the door, attack him!  [This was soooo funny!]
She's strangling him, yelling  DIE! DIE!  I HATE YOU!  She throws
him back against a mirror, which breaks.  Clay then looks at her
calmly and says "You know something?  You ARE whacko!"  This sets
her off again. She picks up a large piece of the broken mirror,
and, screaming like a banshee, tries to stab him!  T&T burst in
the room and pull her off him, simultaneously kicking Clay out. 
Stacy rants on hysterically about how Clay tried to kill Jack,
Jack's alive, etc.  To humor her and calm her down, T&T profess
they believe her.  They have a menage a embrace.

[Rescott's]

Kate tries to mother hen Ally, but Ally manages to get her to
leave so she and Cooper can talk alone.  Ally moans to Cooper
that she's nauseous.  She asks if he's told Hannah.  He can't
even look Hannah in the eye, especially since he's the one that
was unfaithful, not Hannah.  Ally says it's ok, Hannah doesn't
have to know; she can't tell Casey either.  They go on to discuss
the pros and cons of telling (or not) their respective beaus. 
Cooper wonders if there's any way the baby could be Casey's? 
Ally says no possible way, and relates the story of the almost
entrapment.  Well, Cooper's going to be responsible.

[Stacy's]

Trucker's consoling Stacy as Trisha walks in with not one, but
two doctors - the female one from the night before, and another
male doctor [didn't catch the names: female = doc1, male = doc2]
Well, Stacy doesn't need doctors, SHE NEEDS THE POLICE!  Stacy
has cut her hand on the broken mirror, and as doc2 bandages her
hand, she raves about calling the police.  She's also pissed at
doc1 for giving her that sedative, and doesn't want her near her.
She tells doc2 the Clay/Jack story.  Doc1 doesn't believe her.
Stacy gets mad and accuses the docs of being in Clay's employ -
she yells that they're QUACKS!

Meanwhile, downstairs Jeanne is nervously cleaning up the coffee
remnants.  Clay sees how her hands are shaking, and tells her to
just leave the stuff there.  Jeanne and Clay get into it - she
calls Clay EVIL.  She really lays into him:  "How can you live
with yourself, using your own daughter", etc., etc.  He threatens
her "you know what happens to Scottish nannies with big mouths".
They are forced to end this little exchange as T&T and doc1
come down.  They tell Clay that Stacy may need to be "confined".

[Rescott's]

Cooper and Ally are still discussing whether or not to tell
Hannah and/or Casey.  They both relate to each other what they
had planned for the future.  Ally tells Cooper she can't have
the baby - she's not ready!

[Stacy's]

Doc2 comes down and tells everyone that Stacy's been sedated
again, and the reason there are two doctors there today is
because they need a 2nd opinion to confine someone.  Clay
pretends to get very angry and orders the docs to leave.  The
docs insist that Stacy is paranoid, delusional, dangerous, and
violent.  T&T offer to take Stacy to their house.  The docs
say she should be in a psychiatric hospital.  Clay wonders "How
could this happen to Stacy?"  [Sheeyeah, right.  What a jerk.]
The docs tell Clay that as her husband, Stacy's care is in his
hands.  He'll do what he must.  They encourage him to "sign the
papers."

Upstairs Stacy is frantically searching the room.  Finally she
finds what she's looking for - a picture of her and Jack.  She
cradles it in her arms and lies down on the bed... "Oh, Jack...."

[Cliffhanger.]
