Jeffrey showed up to take Henry home. Buzz and Jeffrey began fighting.
Buzz said he knows the truth about Henry now. Jeffrey asked why Buzz
was so angry at him, since he has taken care of Henry for so long. He
said the truth is that Henry loves Jeffrey. Buzz said he appreciates
that Jeffrey took care of Henry for so long. Jeffrey said he thinks Buzz
only wants to be with Henry so he can be with Jenna. Jeffrey started to
tell Buzz about how he met Jenna. Jenna had been going from one
boarding house to another, living hand to mouth. When Jeffrey found
her, she was trying to steal from him, to feed Henry. Her story made an
impression on Jeffrey, and he gave her money and a place to stay. He
said it was her own idea to go back to stealing. Jeffrey said that
Jenna is his wife, and just because Buzz is Henry's biological father
means nothing, Henry is still his son. He said that Jenna just told
him she still loves him. Jeffrey said the Jenna Buzz knew is gone
forever, she is now a wife and mother, and she belongs with him. He
began telling Buzz about an experience in Copenhagen when he and Jenna
fell in love, and said they are still in love. Buzz said that Jeffrey
may still love Jenna, but that Jenna doesn't love him. Jeffrey said
that Jenna does not lie to him, that it is Buzz she lies to, and always
has. Jenna came in, and Jeffrey told her that Buzz has some questions
for her, then he left. Buzz asked Jenna if she is in love with Jeffrey.
Annie told Josh that HB is ill. Josh said he was just with him over New
Years. Billy came into the room and said that HB had a heart attack,
and that it was serious- that he was not expected to make it. Billy
said it would take a miracle to save HB from this heart attack. He had
been playing poker, and when he got home from that, he had the heart
attack, and called for the ambulance himself. When he got to the
hospital, he went into cardiac arrest. Trish and Mindy had been
traveling with him, but were at a fashion show at the time. Josh
decided to go with Billy to HB right away. Annie had Josh's bags ready
for him, and as he left, he asked Annie to call Reva and let her know
about HB.
Reva was in the cemetary with Charity, where Dani used to hang out,
looking at the headstone where she used to lay down, and Reva noticed
the name on the headstone was Dutton. Reva said it was weird because
she knows someone in Springfield with the last name of Dutton, but it is
a common name, and she is sure that Annie was raised by her grandmother,
but she doesn't know in what part of the country. Charity said she sees
an expression on Reva that she used to see on Dani, the way she would
get when her cage had been rattled. Reva said she was just surprised by
the coincidence of the last name. Charity told Reva not to worry, that
she had a hunch that Reva would find Dani. Reva said she didn't know
how it would happen, but that she did intend to find her. Reva got a
call from Annie, and told her about HB- that he had a heart attack and
it is very serious. Reva kept insisting that he would be okay, but
Annie said the doctors said he probably wouldn't. Reva and Charity left
the cemetary. Annie put the cameo onto a sweater and hung it over a
chair. Reva came to the house and asked of word of HB. Annie said
there wasn't any word yet. Reva began talking about her past
experiences with Josh and HB. She said she can't even talk about him
without a smile. Reva asked how Josh had taken the news, and Annie said
Billy helped him. Annie told Reva about how the heart attack happened.
Reva said she never felt safer that when she was in HB's arms. Annie
said it was getting cold in the house, and went to get a sweater. Reva
saw the cameo, and said she had never seen Annie wear it before. Reva
asked if it was new. Annie said she has had it forever, but she can't
remember where it came from, she just remembers always having it. Reva
left, and asked Annie to have Josh call her as soon as he knows about
HB. Reva was standing outside on the porch saying to herself that it
just can't be that Annie is her sister.
At company, J was talking with Nola. She accused him of being out late
the night before, without calling her. He told her he had been with
Michelle. Michelle came in, and said hello to J, and J walked away
without answering her. He went and sat down with a friend, who told him
that a professor in a photography class was going to have nude models in
the class that afternoon. Nola was talking to Michelle, and said that J
had told her about the party. Nola said the party should never happen
again. Wendy came in and introduced herself as having been at the party
the night before. Wendy said she had seen Michelle go off with Brad,
and asked if Michelle knew that Brad has a girlfriend. They talked
about college the next year. Wendy told Michelle that she was supposed
to be the one posing nude for a photography class, and that she really
needed to be somewhere else. She asked Michelle to fill in for her.
She told Michelle the pay is good, and she could meet alot of guys. J
was at the photography class, and the nude model was introduced. It was
Michelle.
Billy and Josh were on the plane going to HB, and they were showing
flashbacks of HB.
Jenna and Buzz argue about Jeffrey and just what he means to Jenna. Buzz
asks Jenna if there is more going on with Jeffrey than just their business
arrangement. Jenna says yes, how can Buzz expect her to be married to
someone for more than two years and gave her son a name on his birth
certificate, and not mean something to her. Buzz says he thinks it just a
typical love- hate relationship between the two of them, and that Jenna must
have had felt a real thrill when she got baby Coop way from Jeffrey.
Rick shows up at Blake's to help take the boys to the doctor. She remarks
that Mrs. Murphy has her beat getting the boys ready to go away. When Rick
asks whom, Mrs. Murphy is, Blake says she is a single mom she met on the
multiple-birth chat-line who has quintuplets (something this recapper
thought was cool). Rick and Ross both ended up at the house to help Blake
take the twins to the pediatrician for their checkup and DPT shots. While
Blake is getting their bottles ready, the two dads verbally spar. First
they disagree on the way Ross is trying to burp Jason. Rick says he just
trying to help. Ross says to Rick, "that seems to be your motto." Ross
then says to Rick that he has been reading up on the possible dangerous side
effects of the DPT shots and doesn't think Jason should have one. Rick says
they are perfectly safe and the side effects are minimal. When Blake comes
back to the room, Ross says he wishes he had known Rick was going too.
Blake says she thought the boys health was what was most important. Blake
says if he doesn't think he should go, then don't - she challenges. Ross
goes too.
J gets a big surprise when he goes to his photography class to photograph a
nude model. It is Michelle. The class starts photograph Michelle in her
robe, as far down as the robe down around her shoulders. J is taking a
reading for light and whispers to her, "what does she think she is doing?"
She says it pays $30.00 an hour. J is not happy.
Daliah and Marcus are in the park. She asks Marcus if he wants her, and why
he has never asked her to sleep with him. Marcus allays Daliha's fears, and
says when he sees her search a crowd of people he cannot believe this
"Angel" is actually searching for him. (He's so smooth) She just cannot
believe after "all" the women he's had with more experience than she, it is
her he actually wants. Marcus reaffirms his devotion to Daliah.
At Dr. Gootleib's, the pediatrician, Ross and Rick continue with their
verbal jabs, with Blake in the middle - trying to attend to both of the
boys. Dr. Gootleib remarks that both of them are the fathers?! He weighs
the boys. Kevin weighs 15 ½ lbs. and Blake says he has not been sleeping
well and is cranky. Rick tells her he is just teething and will be fine.
Jason weighs 20 ½ lbs.! (these are big boys!) Ross asks if Jason's weight
is fine for his age, and the doctor assures him that he is fine. Then the
twins get their shots (neither cry--how lucky can you get). Ross gets his
jab in that Jason takes after his dad (Ross) and is has a "high tolerance to
pain." Ross then remarks about spring training is over (baseball) and it is
time to get their White Sox tickets. Ricksaid he thought they were going to
be raised Cub fans . . . Ross says no. Rick then gets paged on his beeper
for ER (thank goodness for Blake's sake!) at the hospital, and thanks the
doctor for being so good to his son.
Jenna and Buzz continue to go at it. Buzz wants to take Coop outside for a
bit. Jenna puts her foot down so he has to listen to her. Buzz then begins
to throw her life style the past two years up in her face . . . blowing into
different cities for different galas, hiring health care providers to look
after "his son," pulling another heist, and then leaving town. "How dare
he throw that up in her face", Jenna cries. Buzz tells her she's lied so
many times, he doesn't know if he can ever believe her again, or if he even
wants too. "Poor, Buzz" to be strapped with having to stay with her night
and day for the next 80 days while she is on probation! "Always standing in
the wrong place at the wrong time", Jenna says. Jenna yells at Buzz that
she'll be sure to get his permission as to when she can, eat, sleep, breath,
and bath Coop ..."My, Lord" she ends to Buzz. Jenna stomps upstairs, Buzz
is smiling. (I think he enjoyed that a little too much!)
Nurse Raines sees Abby and said she heard she was cutting back on her hours
at the hospital, and tells here she shouldn't do it. Abby tells Lillian she
doesn't understand. Lillian says she does - that she knows what it's like
to come to the hospital everyday and to work with someone you care about.
Abby tries again to tell her she (Lillian) doesn't understand. Just then
the EMT's come in with Phillip Spaulding close behind. Lillian remarks that
the ER is under-staffed due to illness and tells Abby she may need to help.
Abby follows her into ER. Phillip tells them there was a bad accident at
the Spaulding warehouse - a forklift went haywire and knocked a shipping
wall down. He tells Lillian he put a splint on the man's (Ronald Miller)
leg. Rick rushes in and starts work on Mr. Miller while Abby is trying to
comfort the man.
Back at the art studio, the professor says it is now time for the class to
capture the "essence of a nude female" and asks Michelle to remove her robe.
She thinks about it for 2 seconds and bolts! After class, J asks her why
she did it - he knows she doesn't need to money. Michelle tells J its all
his fault.
When he asks her to explain, she tells him how she thought everything she
needed to know was in a book. But J told way back then, the only way she
would get experience was through living life. That's what she's doing.
Michelle left him by saying, he didn't have a clue about women!
Daliah and Marcus had a bet going about a difference of opinion on jazz. If
Daliah loses she has to polish his sax for a month, drive him around, and
feed him Eleni's chocolate cake. Daliah says if Marcus loses he has to cut
his hair! She goes to the record store to get her answer, and comes back to
the park to tell he lost the bet. Marcus has already beat her and takes off
the hat he's wearing - with a haircut. He said he went back to his house,
saw he lost, and went and got his hair cut. (okay!) Daliah tells him she
loves him with or without his hair. Marcus says what? She repeats it - and
they kiss!
At the hospital, when it's time to take the twins home Blake tells Ross
she'll call a cab! He tells her he won't let her wrestle those two bruisers
(the twins) in a taxi. Blake sees this as a good and hopeful sign. After
getting the twins home, she asks Ross if she can get him some coffee. He
tells her not to trouble herself. Blake says it's no trouble. Wait, Ross
says - he has something to tell her. She looks expectantly at him.
In ER, after Rick, Lillian, and Abby take care of Mr. Miller, he thanks them
all for their help. Lilliantells Abby to think about her decision to
leave. Alarmed, Rick, asks her to stay at the hospital to work and not let
him be the reason for leaving. Abby is angry! She tells Rick not to
flatter himself. That the reason she is cutting back as data entry operator
is to study to become a P.A. (Physician's Assistant). Rick offers to help
her - no thanks she doesn't need his help. Abby goes outside.
Phillip follows Abby outside. He tells her about going to the Marler's on
Thanksgiving, determined to tell Ross the truth. He tells her that after
seeing Ross with the twins and what a good father he was to them, he
couldn't do it. Phillip tells Abby there is no right or wrong, no bad
people in this situation. He asks her not to judge Rick so harshly. She
tells Phillip she was raised with truth, loyalty, and honesty. She said she
realized that when she first saw Rick she saw him as this super hero. Abby
said when she first came to Springfield she was not only deaf, but also
blind to those things around her that were wrong. No more she says. After
Abby left Phillip, Rick came outside to talk to Phillip. Phillip told Rick
not to give up, Rick vows to fight for Abby.
Buzz calls his son Frank and asks him to do a background check on Jeffrey
Morgan. He tells Frank, he's afraid someone is making a huge mistake.
Phillip went to see Alan, and Alan told him that Alex is missing. He
didn't call the police because he was worried about what the investors
would think. Holly and Fletcher came in, and asked about Alex, they were
to do an interview with her. Alan said she is just unavailable now, then
when they left the room, Alan and Phillip began trying to figure out what
happened to her. Alan said that something must be wrong because she would
never leave without a note. Phillip said he thought she just needed to get
away. Alan said that Alex would not just leave at such an important time,
when Amanda and Roger are trying to take over Spaulding. Fletcher and
Holly talked about what could be going on at Spaulding, and Fletch said it
must have something to do with Roger, since he and Amanda are engaged now.
Alan decided to go see Roger and Amanda, and Phillip tried to talk him out
of it. Alan told Phillip to go to the airport, to see if Alex had tried to
get the Spaulding Jet. Alan told Fletch and Holly that Alex would not be
able to do their interview, but they said that they wanted to wait for Alex.d
Roger and Amanda were talking and Amanda was complaining that her family
had lied to her her whole life. Roger said she is just about to become the
luckiest woman in the world, and went to answer their door, and Leo was
there. They sat down, and Roger began explaing Brandon's will to her. He
had left everything to his daughters Victoria and Alex. Victoria did not
want her share, so Alex got all the money, before anyone found out that
there was a third daughter, Amanda. Roger told Amanda that she is entitled
to half of everything that Brandon had, or half of everything that Alex
owns. Amanda wanted to go run and tell everyone right away, but Roger
discouraged her. He told her that the time would come, but it is not time
yet, because Alan would block her. Roger wants to get all the legalities
taken care of first. Roger said that tomorrow she can confront them all at
the board meeting. They want to freeze the Spaulding assets before Alex
has a chance to learn what they are up to. Alan came to see Amanda, and
asked if Amanda had see Alex. He said that he cannot find her and asked if
Alex and Amanda had argued. Amanda and Alan began arguing, and Amanda
blurted out that Alan is not her father and never has been. Roger came in
and yelled for Amanda to stop.
Rick and Abigail were talking, and Rick said that he thinks she is a
hippocrite. Rick told Abby that she is not perfect, and that she is as
capable of making mistakes as he is. Rick asked her to just listen to him.
He told her that her standards are so high that no one can live up to
them. Abby reminded him that she was afraid to agree to marry him because
she was not perfect. Rick said that he never said he was perfect. He
asked Abby to let go of the anger she is feeling. Rick said that he just
wants them to try to work through this together. He told her that he loves
her, and asked her to give him another chance. Abby left. Rick was then
approached by a hospital administrator, who said that Rick had been giving
treatment to indigent patients, patients who cannot pay for treatment.
Rick defended his actions. They kept arguing, and Rick punched the
administrator in the face. The administrator threatened to suspend Rick.
Blake told Ross that she is not going to the meeting he has arranged,
because she does not have an attorney. He told her that he is trying to
help her, but she said she thinks he is trying to punish her. Blake began
reminding Ross of what they have meant to each other, and asked Ross to
start forgiving her. He said things just don't work like that. Blake said
that she can't change what happened yesterday, but that she can fight for
tomorrow. She said she will not give him the divorce. Ross was getting
ready to leave, and he told Blake how before all this, he had the perfect
life, that it was all he could ever ask for. He said he does not have all
that anymore. He said everyone is laughing at him now. He said she cannot
make that hurt go away, then he left. Abby came to Blake's door, and went
in and told Blake that she cannot hate her because it is making her feel
worse. Blake asked Abby not to blame Rick for what happened. Blake said
her night with Rick was the worse mistake she ever made. Abby asked her to
explain it to her so she could understand. Blake said that she and Abby
are so different in the way they look at life. Abby sees wonderful things
waiting for her, and Blake waits for terrible things to happen. Blake said
she does not believe in good things, she makes bad things happen just by
trying so hard to avoid them. She told Abby how scared she was, and that
that was why she lied. Blake told Abby that Rick wanted to tell Abby the
truth from the beginning. Blake brought Kevin down, because he was crying.
Abby acknowledged that he is Rick's son. Blake asked Abby to hold Kevin
while she called the pediatrician. Abby took the baby, and told him that
he looks like his father. Blake came back from making a phone call and
found that Abby had left.
Ross was back at the office when Griffin came in to see him. Griffin
presented papers from a client of his who is in litigation with a client of
Ross'. They began talking, and Ross eventually asked Griffin to represent
Blake in the divorce. Griffin agreed to do it.
Reva is talking to herself about the cameo that she saw Annie wearing.
She can't believe it is the same one that her mother owned. <p><br> The kids come down with a trunk and ask if they can look at the stuff
in it. Reva agrees but tells them to be careful because the stuff in it
is really old. Reva thinks back to playing dress up with her brother and
using the cameo.P>
Josh calls Annie and tells her that H.B. is being ornery because he
yelled at them when he came in. Josh asks Annie if there is anything new
there. She fondles the cameo and tells him that "as a matter of fact,
there is Alan is screaming at Amanda and asking her what she means that he is
not her father. Holly sneaks in to listen. Amanda tells him to cool off,
we are still related she says, except that you are not my father, Brandon
Spaulding is. Roger is trying to stop the argument. Alan keeps telling her
that this is impossible. Amanda tells him that it is true. Amanda shows
him her birth certificate. Alan looks at it and is shocked. Holly walks
in and asks if it would be overstating the case if she says that this comes
as a surprise to everyone? She asks if anyone has any comments? Alan, Amanda
and Roger stare at her in shock. Josh asks what Annie is talking about. Annie tells him that the kids
want to spend time with Reva. Josh says that he has no problem with that.
Annie tells him that Reva came over and she doesn't seem like herself today.
She says that she told Reva the news about HB. Josh asks what Reva said.
Annie tells him that Reva didn't say anything – she just walked out. Reva is playing with the kids. She looks through the trunk. She finds
a crown for Shayne to play dress up with. She leaves the room to make another
crown. The kids start fighting. Reva comes back and remembers a similar
fight with Rusty when she was little. Phillip catches Fletcher at Spaulding. He asks him why he has been following
him all night. Fletcher says that something is not right around there.
Fletcher tells him that Alexandra had scheduled an interview with him and
that he and Holly waited for hours for her. Fletcher says that something
is not quite right. Fletcher asks Phillip what is going on – where is Alexandra.
Phillip says that anything he tells him is off the record. He asks for Fletcher's
word. Fletcher gives it. Phillip says that the only reason he is telling Fletcher is that he knows
Fletcher cares about her. Phillip says that he doesn't know where Alexandra
is. Holly starts asking questions. Amanda tells her to get out. Roger takes
Holly outside. Alan tells Amanda that he didn't know. Amanda says, "you really
didn't, did you." Amanda asks him if he didn't know why did he treat
her so badly? Alan asks her how she got the information. Amanda tells him
that Alexandra had this information. Amanda says that Alexandra had been
holding on to it as an insurance policy. Roger tells Holly that what she heard in there is private and not to
be printed. Roger tells her that she will destroy lives if she prints what
she knows. Holly asks him why he cares so much – she asks him if he is
really in love with Amanda? Roger says that Amanda needs time to adjust
to all this. Roger begs Holly not to cause Amanda any more pain. Holly
asks him that if she agrees to hold off on the story, will Amanda give
him an exclusive. Roger agrees. Alan is having a hard time getting used to the fact that Alexandra,
as well as his father, betrayed him. Alan says that when Amanda was born
Brandon sent her mother away and put her up for adoption. Amanda says that
it is poetic justice, what Alan has done to her all her life, now Brandon
is doing to him. Fletcher demands to know what Phillip means. How can he not know where
Alexandra is? Fletcher questions him about Alex. They are talking about
where she could be. Dinah walks in and demands to see Alexandra. Dinah
tells him not to put her off, it is very important. Reva is standing and thinking, looking sad. The kids ask what is wrong.
She tells them that she is tired. Reva remembers that when she and Rusty
were playing that he broke the clasp on the cameo. She remembers that her
mother told them that the cameo was a very special piece of jewelry to
her. Annie comes to the door. She asks Reva if she is okay. Annie tells the
kids to give her a hug. She talks to them about what they have been playing.
The phone rings, it is Josh. He tells her that HB is doing much better.
Reva tells him that it is not a good time to talk. She subtly lets him
know that Annie is there. They hang up and he tells her that he will call
back later. Dinah tells Phillip that she and Alexandra had an appointment and that
Alexandra never showed up. Dinah asks what is wrong with the two of them
– they keep looking at each other. Phillip asks if he can help. Dinah tells
him that she does not like the plans for the new wing of the hospital that
will be dedicated to Vanessa. Dinah shows him the plans. She says that
there is no way she is putting Vanessa's name on the wing, because Vanessa
deserves a lot better. Alan tells Amanda that he doesn't know what to say. She says that that
is a first. Alan says he doesn't believe it. Alan asks how they know it
is true. She says that Roger had it authenticated. Alan says that they
are still family, they need to deal with it within the family. Alan suggests
that they go away and talk it out. He begs her to go with him. He continues to try to talk her into going away with him. Amanda asks
him if he is afraid of public censure or is it his attempt for her to get
rid of Roger. He tells her that he has wronged her terribly. He tells her
that his father hated him. He says that Alex tried to shield him from their
father. Alan says that it hurt him so much. Alan says that even now he
is hurt. He says that he is weak. If he was strong, he wouldn't have allowed
his father's bitterness to guide his life. He says that her only mistake
was having him as a father – or whatever he is. He says that by going away
they can salvage their relationship. He says that she could be the sister
that wouldn't betray him. The sister that he could trust. He wants to go
away so that they can put this terrible thing behind them. He says that
their family should never be taken over by Roger Thorpe. Amands tells him that she won't go away with him. She says that if he
wants to bond with a sister, find the viper Alex and bond with her. She
says to ask Alex why she betrayed him. Amanda says she doesn't want to
talk about it anymore. She tells him to get out.
Alan opens the door and Roger comes in. Amanda asks him if he is going
to tell her what Holly wanted – or does she have to guess. Dinah is telling Phillip that the plans are awful. Phillip tells her that
the architect is one of the best. Dinah says that the building has no heart
or soul. She tells him to hire a new architect. Dinah tells him that she
is leaving. Dinah says that she is going to get Matt to do this. Phillip
says that Matt is a contractor – not an architect. Dinah says that Matt
could draw something ten times better, he knew her mother and he is the
man to do it. Phillip tells her that she can work with Matt if she wants
to, but asks her to speak to Alex first. Dinah leaves. Phillip says that he is worried now because Alex missed an appointment
with Dinah and one with Fletcher. Phillip says that he put the Spauldings
before his daughter and his wife. Now, the little family that he does have
he is watching fall apart. Fletcher tells Phillip to call him if he hears anything about Alex. Phil picks up the phone and calls the police. He tells the person on
the phone that he wants to file a missing person's report. Reva is talking to the kids and Annie about playing dress up. Reva tells
Mara that perhaps Annie will let them use her beautiful cameo.. Mara says
that she has already asks and Annie said no. Annie says that she told her
why – she has had the cameo as long as she can remember and she didn't
want anything to happen to it. <p><br> Roger tells Amanda that he wishes that she hadn't told Alan. She tells
him to shut up. He says that it is her life and it was her decision. They
talk about Alan's reaction. She tells Roger that Alan asked her to go away
with him. She says that she thinks Alan is really upset. Roger says that
Alan is also completely self-serving. Roger tells her that she is not alone,
she has him. He says that they are going to fight back with everything
they have. He hugs her. <p><br> Phillip is talking to the police. He tells them that Alex has just vanished
and for more than 24 hours. He hangs us. Alan walks in. Phillip asks where
he has been. Phillip asks if he is all right. Alan asks Phillip if he has
heard from Alex. Phillip tells him no. Phillip asks if Alan is afraid that
Alex is in danger. Alan tells him that Alex is not in danger from anyone
outside the Spaulding family. Phillip looks shocked. Annie and the kids are leaving Reva's. The kids are teasing and arguing.
They hug Reva and they leave. The phone rings. It is Josh. Josh says that
HB is better. Josh asks her if she found out anything in Chicago. She says
that it is was pretty much a dead end. He tells her that he wishes he could
be there to help her. She says that he needs to stay there and take care
of his daddy. He asks what her next step will be. She says that she will
think about it tomorrow. After she hangs up she says aloud, I'm sorry Bud,
but I have to do this on my own. She goes over and looks through some pictures and pulls out a picture
of Annie and the kids, she says that she is going to find out once and
for all who her sister really is.
Reva is at the grave that Charity showed her that has the name "Dutton."
She is talking to herself and saying that she had to come back and be sure.
She asks out loud to the grave if the child that they brought into their
home was really her sister.

Charity arrives. She says that she was thinking that Reva might be there.
She says that after she told her about the Duttons taking Dani in that she
thought Reva might come back.
Alan is sitting in the Spaulding board room thinking. Phillip is in the
office on the phone. He is telling the person on the phone that he has
never seen Alan this upset. He tells the person that he will let them know
if he hears anything about Alex. Annie arrives and asks for Alan. Phillip
tells her that it is not a good time to talk to him. He tells her that
Alan has been in the board room all night and he is not letting anyone in.
Alan is on the phone. He asks the person that if Amanda is really Brandon's
daughter, then what are the legal ramifications. He says that he wants some
answers. He talks to Brandon's portrait. He says that Brandon hated him
and he took it out on Amanda. He says that Brandon is hurting people even
from the grave.
Amanda comes to Roger's door. He tells her that in just a couple of hours
she will sail out of the board room the "Queen of Spaulding." She replies,
"that was the idea." Roger looks at her and says "you are not going through
with this, are you?." She tells him that she has been thinking about it all
night. She does not want to air the Spaulding dirty laundry in public. She
tells Roger that Alan was devastated. Roger says that it was an act.
Amanda says that she believes that Alan was betrayed just like she was by
his own father. Roger tells her that she is going to have to make a choice
on who to believe – the man who treated her like yesterday's newspaper, or
the man who wants to marry her.
Amanda tells Roger that she and Alan had a good talk the day before. They
connected as people for the first time in their lives. Roger says that the
timing was deliberate. Amanda says that Alan acted like he really
understood how she felt. Amanda says that nothing is black and white like
it was in the beginning. She doesn't know what to do. She tells Roger that
Alan asked her to go away with him. Roger says that he hoped she said no.
Roger says that the two of them came from the same place, told over and over
that they didn't measure up. Roger says this is to right the wrongs that
have been done to them. He asks her what her decision is.
Alan is still talking to the portrait. Alan tells Brandon that he was a
tough teacher. Alan says that they paid deeply for any sign of weakness.
He says that he was willing to go through hell because he wanted to be like
Brandon. "When will it all end," he asks. He thinks back to a
conversation with Alexandra. He says to the portrait that Alex couldn't
have lied to him – Brandon is the only liar.
Annie bangs on the door and asks Alan to open it. Phillip tells her to leave
him a message and he will give it to Alan. Phillip tells her that nobody can
get him to come out. She says that maybe she can reach Alan, she is not a
family member and maybe that will work. Phillip tells her that they are
going to have a the biggest board meeting of the year in the room Alan is
in and the last thing that they need is to have the board members find Alan
locked in there.
Annie asks if they can postpone the meeting. He says that he can't. She
asks if he knows what the problem is. Phillip says that he knows a lot of
things going on, but he doesn't know what would cause him to do that. Annie
keeps asking Alan to open the door. He finally opens the door. He tells
her that it doesn't involve her and to please go away. She asks him to let
her help him.
Matt is drinking coffee at his house. The door bell rings. Matt answers
the door and Dinah barges in and complaining about the Spauldings and how
arrogant they are. Matt asks her what she is talking about – is she going
to tell him about her problem today or next week – he has things he has to
do. She tells him that that is going to have to wait. Matt laughs and
teases her and tells her that she is the arrogant one. She tells him that
this is not about her it is about Vanessa. She tells him that the plans are
terrible for the new wing of the hospital to be dedicated to Vanessa. Matt
says that it is a little dull. Dinah says that she is not going to put
Vanessa's name on it. She says that sick children are going to be in this
facility and Vanessa would not approve. Matt responds that the kids won't
care what the facility looks like and Vanessa is never going to see it.
Dinah accuses him of being cold. She says that she will go to the Spauldings
herself. She says that she came to him because she thought he would want to
be involved. She says that she will go and find someone who cares. Matt
tells her to go to hell. Bill walks in and asks what the problem is – he
can hear them down the block. He asks for a ride to school because his car
broke down. Dinah says that she will in a few minutes. Matt tells her that
they don't have any more to say. She tells him that they do.
Annie asks Alan to let her in so they can talk. He lets her in. Alan
apologizes and says that he can't help her with Reva. She tells him that
things are going well. Reva is believing the story that Annie is her
long-lost sister. She thanks him for his help.
Annie asks him what is hurting him. She says that she is his friend and
wants to help him. Alan tells her that parents can hurt you worse than
anyone – they can even hurt your from your grave.
Reva and Charity are talking about the Duttons. Charity tells Reva that
Dani told her the Duttons were very good to her. Charity says that the
Duttons accepted her. Reva says that she just wanted to make sure that Dani
was her sister. Charity says that Dani was happy with the Duttons for the
first time.
Reva shows Charity some pictures. There is a picture of Annie and Charity
asks her where she got this picture. Reva asks her if the woman in the
picture is Dani. Charity says that she thinks so. Reva starts to cry.
Reva thanks Charity and she leaves. Reva sits at the graveside and cries.
Alan and Annie are talking about Brandon. Alan says that he thought he
didn't care. Alan says that caring is a waste of time. Phillip knocks at
the door and tells Alan there is not much time before the meeting. Phillip
asks him what he wants to do. Alan says that he will be at the meeting.
Phillip says that he has a feeling that his father is starting to pay the
price for who he is. Annie speculates that he is a man that loved too much.
Roger tells Amanda that Alan doesn't need her – he doesn't need anyone.
Roger asks Amanda if they are one or off. She tells Roger that they are on.
Bill is looking at the hospital plans. Dinah asks him what he thinks. He
says that he doesn't know anything about blueprints. He says that he has to
get to school. Bill tells her that he agrees and that the plans stink.
Bill gets ready to leave for school. Matt asks Bill to move back in, he
asks him to think about it. Matt gets ready to leave for work. Dinah tells
him that he is a coward. She asks if it doesn't make him mad that the
Spauldings took it upon themselves to plan a building for the woman he loved
more than life itself. Matt tells her that the Spauldings did come to him.
He told them he didn't want to get involved. He didn't then and he doesn't
now. Dinah says that she can't believe him – she thought him of all people
would feel the same way about it. She says that Matt told her that when
Vanessa died it was worse than any hurt he could feel. Matt says that he
knows what he told her. He says that he is living every day just like
Vanessa just died, but he says that no monument or four walls and a roof are
going to change it. He loses his temper and turns the table over. He
storms out of the room. Dinah watches in shock.
The board meeting is beginning. Phillip is making small talk with the board
members. Amanda and Roger walk in. Alan walks in and tells everyone that
they have work to do. Phillip calls the meeting to order. Roger says that
they should wait for Alex. Alan tells them that Alex cannot be there. The
meeting begins. Roger says that he has a matter to bring before the board.
Phillip turns the floor over to Roger. Roger brings up a motion to freeze
all assets of Spaulding Enterprises, Amanda seconds it. Phillip asks them if
they have lost their mind. Roger says that he is going to pass out two
documents that will explain everything. He first passes out Amanda's birth
certificate. Alan asks Amanda if that is how she wants it – she says that
this is how it is.
The board is in shock asking what is going on. Roger explains that Amanda's
father is Brandon Spaulding. The second document is Brandon Spaulding's will.
Brandon bequeathed all his worldly goods to his daughters. She says that
the daughter in Barbados relinquished her holdings. That leaves Alexandra
and Amanda. Amanda tells them that she is entitled to half of the Spaulding
fortune.
Dinah apologizes to Matt and tells him that she didn't mean to push him so
far. She says that the building is all she has left of her mother. He
tells her that he knows. He tells her that he is sorry that he lost his
temper. Dinah tells him that she knows he has a big empty hole inside him.
She says that she guesses that he is right and it is not that important. He
says that it is not that important for him, but for her it can be. She says
that she needs to throw herself into something because she can't stand the
grieving. Matt tells her that she is so much like Vanessa it is scary. He
says that they both have an incredible sense of justice. When they believe
in something that they hang on to something – like a guardian angel. Dinah
laughs and asks him if he really sees her that way. He says yes. She says
that the only time that she has felt strong or brave is when she had Vanessa
back in her life. She says that without Vanessa everything is wrong. She
misses her.
Annie is talking to Josh on the phone about HB. She says that she is so
happy that HB is doing better. Annie hears a car pull up. She hangs up
with Josh. Reva walks up to the door and gets ready to knock.
Dinah and Matt are sitting and looking at the blueprints. Matt says that
the plans are very unoriginal. Matt says that they can be reworked by
someone who cares. Dinah asks "who." Matt says "you " and adds "and me."
She asks him if he would really help her. He says ":why not, I'm not an
architect, but I am a pretty good builder, why not." Dinah says that she
is so glad that he came around. She asks him if he changed his mind because
she got upset. She says that she wouldn't want him to work with her just
because he feels sorry for her. He says that he never felt sorry for her a
day in her life and he isn't going to start now. They laugh and she hugs
him.
Phillip calls the meeting to order. He says that the meeting should be
adjourned and the motion tabled. Roger says that there is a motion on the
floor and they must deal with it. The board says that Alex is Brandon's
other heir and that they must talk to her. Amanda tells them that Alex
disappeared the minute she heard about this. Phillip says he doesn't believe
that Alex knew a thing about it. The board members say that they are loyal
to Alex. Roger says that Alex has know about this for a long time. Alan
tells the board that his father may have betrayed him – but his sister is
completely loyal to him and would never betray him. Alexandra walks into
the meeting.
Reva knocks on Annie's door. Reva tells Annie that she needs to talk to
her. Annie asks her if she is all right. Reva notices that Annie is
wearing the cameo. Reva tells her that she needs to talk to her.
