Cass feels guilty about stopping Lila's wedding, even though it was the right thing to do. Cass wants to mend fences with Lila, but she was still very angry with him. They dine separately at the Harbor Club. When Lila gets her bill, she realizes she has lost her wallet. The waiter says he'll have to notify Donna. Then a stranger approaches Lila. He tells Lila to close her eyes and think positive thoughts. He then pays her bill for her. Before leaving, the stranger gives Lila a newspaper and tells her to read it. She reads that there was no clue as to where Amanda is. She sneaks out the back of the restaurant to elude her nurse. When Lila shows up at the Cory house, she tells Matt she thinks she knows where Amanda is.

Josie turns in her badge to Joe. He refuses to accept her resignation, but she insists that she's going to stand by her husband. Although the police still suspect Cameron, Rachel was sure that Scott has Amanda. Joe tells Josie to check at the Cory offices, but she reminds him that she doesn't work for him anymore. Rachel asks her to help them find Scott before anything can happen to Amanda. Joe tells Josie that he won't make her choose between her loyalty to her husband and her job. She tells him that Gary and Cameron went after Scott, and that Cameron loves Amanda and would never hurt her. Later, Toni tells Josie how disappointed she was about the fact that Josie didn't keep her filled in on everything Gary had been doing.

Scott tells Amanda that it's her own fault that he had to have Ali kidnapped. He said that he loved and trusted her, and that she betrayed him. She says she will do anything to get Ali back. He tells her to undress, but she hesitates. He takes her shirt off for her. Then he gives her some clothes and a wig so she can disguise herself as Rachel. Next, he has her learn to copy Rachel's signature.

At the bank, Scott tries to get the funds in cash, but was told that will take at least 24 hours. He was furious about the delay. Meanwhile, Amanda writes "please help me" on the forms she was given to sign. Scott finds Amanda's note though and destroys it before anyone can see it. He then requests that the cash be made available as soon as possible.

Scott brought Amanda back to the house and locks her in an underground room. He tells her he intends to hold her to the promise she made to him in Chicago.

Cameron and Gary discuss Josie and Amanda while they try to disarm the alarm at the Hutchins house. They say how these women have turned their lives around. Then a guard catches them and throws them off the property.

Later, Gary and Cameron break into the house. After piecing together what they find there, they come to the conclusion that Scott and Amanda have already gone to the bank.

Gary and Cameron show up at the bank, but when they describe Scott and Amanda to a man, he says he has not seen them. Of course, since they were disguised, they did not match their descriptions anyway. Gary tells Cameron to be patient, that Scott will have to make a move eventually.

Cameron and Gary go back to the house. Cameron was getting impatient, then they see Scott through the window. Scott hears something and draws a gun. Scott and the guard search the grounds. Cameron looks for Amanda while Gary follows Scott. Amanda tries to break out of the room and Cameron hears her. He finds a tunnel to the room. As Amanda was telling Cameron where the door to the room is, a guard hears Cameron and tells him to come out or he'll shoot.

Wednesday, August 19, 1998

Scott saw that Amanda was dreaming. When she awoke, he asked her to tell him her dream. Amanda tried to make up a wonderful dream involving the two of them, but Scott knew she was lying, and yelled at her. Scott told Amanda that he heard there were two American's on the island. He figured one of them was Cameron. Scott then told Amanda that Carl had the house built for Rachel and the twins. Scott informed Amanda that they too could have had a love like Carl and Rachel.

While yelling at Amanda, Scott informed Amanda to go to the bank, pose as Rachel, and get the Cory money. Amanda pleaded for Scott to let her call her daughter, Allie. After a furious Scott left the room, Amanda vowed to do whatever it takes. When Scott returned, Amanda tried to seduce him, but it didn't work. Scott just got angry and told Amanda she means nothing to him. He just wants the money. Scott eventually started to give in to Amanda.

Gary and Cameron hit a few close calls in their attempt to save Amanda. They spotted a tunnel that would lead them inside the house. Gary was worried about Cameron's childhood claustrophobia resurfacing. Gary stalled a guard while Cameron made a run for the tunnel. In the tunnel, Cameron became nervous and distressed. It was obvious his childhood was coming back to haunt him.

Cameron looked on from the ceiling tunnel. A noise from the ceiling took Scott's attention away from Amanda. He sensed that someone was trying to get into the room. Just as Scott was about to catch Cameron in the tunnel, Amanda dropped her dress to the floor. Needless to say, Amanda had Scott's attention back. Then Isabel interrupted Scott and Amanda stating that "the Americans" are back. Scott left to investigate threatening that Amanda will be sorry if one of the Americans was Cameron.

After Scott left, Amanda ran over to the tunnel and filled Cameron in on what has been happening, including Allie's kidnapping. Cameron told Amanda that Gary was with him. Amanda and Cameron tried to work on a plan together while Scott was away. After Cameron left, Scott returned, handed Amanda a wig and a dress, and demanded her to get dressed so that they could go to the bank. Amanda asked Scott if he wanted to finish what they started. Scott said he wants the money more, and if she was the best that he has ever had, then maybe he won't kill her.

Gary was captured by Island security. Gary tried to warn security about Amanda. When security said they knew about Amanda, he tried to bribe the officers, but it didn't work. Cameron looked on.

Paulina argued with Joe about a plan for saving Amanda, Cameron, and Gary. Joe insisted he knew what he was doing. Just as Joe convinced Paulina to let him go and bring back Amanda, Rachel stood at the bottom of the stairs with her suitcases demanding "I am going to Boca Linda, and I am not coming back without my daughter." Joe and Paulina tried to convince Rachel not to go. Paulina pleaded with Rachel that she didn't want to lose her too. Rachel said "If you were in Amanda's shoes, wouldn't you want me to come for you too."

Just then the phone rang, Joe got a call stating that Allie was picked up by a stranger at boarding school in Switzerland. Rachel yelled at the boarding school demanding an explanation as to why they let her go off with a stranger. This was enough to convince Rachel that staying behind was the right thing to do.

Rachel and Paulina realized that Scott's anger was more personal than business related. Rachel and Paulina went through a box of personal belongings that might lead them to Scott's identity. In the box was Amanda's baby shoes. Also in the box was Carl's family album. Rachel and Paulina noticed a pictures of Carl and Carl's mother, Eleanor. In one picture was Carl with a pregnant Eleanor. A puzzled Rachel wondered what happened to the baby. Just then, Rachel and Paulina looked at each other and realized that Scott could be Carl's brother.

When Joe came home, Rachel and Paulina immediately informed Joe of their suspicion. This would explain why Scott had the family crest in his pocket, why he stole the family tree, and why he showed up right after Carl died. They now have a motive for Scott shooting Carl. Rachel got a delivery of a tape recorder of Allie's voice telling them to obey the rules and that she is okay, and there was also a man's voice telling them not to go after Amanda.

Josie confided to Toni that she should have gone with Gary. Chris brought Josie and Toni a file on Cameron and Gary and encouraged them to read it. Josie and Toni could not believe what they were reading. Josie was really concerned for both Gary and Cameron after reading about the childhood abuse.
