PUT WILLY BACK IN THE TANK, BOYS!

Will told Jess that Ben could get him out of the country, and he thought
he'd take him up on it. He said it wouldn't be for long because Asa
confessed once, all they had to do was find the tape, or have him confess
again! Jess was against the idea, and asked Will if they could go
somewhere to talk. Cris, alone with Todd, asked about Tea. Todd admitted
that she left him with 'no forwarding address'.

Jess and Will discussed her feelings of guilt and trying to make up for
what her grandfather had done to him. Jess asked Will to stay, because
she loved him. Will admitted that he wanted to marry Jess, to have a
family with her. He agreed to stay when she said those three magic words
to him...

SISTERS? FRIENDS? LET'S PLAY PRETEND!

An angry Lanie told Lindsay not to manipulate Bo, with her 'bull' about
going to jail! Lindsay said that Melanie barely knew Bo, but Lanie
admitted that she'd met him long before she even knew Lindsay was
involved with him. Lindsay was stunned. Lanie told her how she'd ran over
Bo's bike at a diner one night, and that he had made a big impression on
her. Lindsay recalled that as being the night Bo left town without
telling anyone. It was the night she'd lost their baby!

Lindsay wanted to know if there was anything 'more' to the story. She
proceeded to intimidate Lanie by telling her that she'd always been able
to tell when Lanie was lying by her body language. Lindsay then demanded
the story of 'Bo', "start to finish"!

R.J.'S CONTINUED QUEST FOR REVENGE...

R.J. offered to buy Bo a drink, and Bo wanted to know what R.J. was 'up
to'. R.J. said Bo had some serious trust issues. Bo told him he didn't
forget anything. R.J. said trauma had been done to him by Nora's death,
he expressed his grief at losing Tea. Bo told him that the only thing
ever to 'humanize' him was Tea, and she was gone now. He asked R.J. not
to turn her into a 'joke', and advised him that whatever he was planning
to deal out to him, he was going to deal with!

SEE THE SPIDER SPIN THE WEB...

Antonio questioned Roseanne about R.J.'s intentions, but she feigned
innocence. She claimed they were friends, but she didn't 'know anything.'
She'd told R.J. to 'forget about revenge'. Antonio said she was all a
'big show' and he'd heard everything she'd 'wanted' him to hear when she
advised R.J.. He said he knew her intended audience was Cristian, but
Roseanne indicated differently. Antonio didn't seem to realize that her
intended 'target' might just be him!

ANTONIO'S HOT & ON THE TRAIL!

Bo was pleased as Antonio informed him that when R.J. left the station,
he had followed him. Antonio said he felt that R.J.'s dropping the
lawsuit was a bluff. He had seen him meet up with this guy in the park on
two occasions and his gut told him it had to do with Bo. Antonio said
he'd never seen the guy before, but as he described him to Bo, a smile of
recognition crossed his features. "Jeff Barnes"... Bo filled Antonio in
and said he had a job for him to do, Antonio agreed. Bo asked him to
watch R.J., to note when and where he met with Barnes.

SPINNING AND SPINNING AND SPINNING...

Stopping by Roseanne's table on his way out, Antonio was asked by R.J. if
Bo had 'thrown him a bone'... R.J. stood and left, and Antonio sat,
telling Roseanne he had to run, he had an early training class with
Sophia. Roseanne told him she knew about it, and explained to him that
Sophia was living with her now! She said she knew that Cristian wouldn't
be coming back and the place where Sophia was living had been awful. She
wanted to know if two good deeds were too much for Antonio to believe,
coming from her. He indicated that he could believe it, he just wanted to
know what would be 'in it' for Roseanne. On his way out, he told Bo that
he would keep him informed.

TWO COLINS: KIDNAPPER AND HEALER

Nora threw a tray at the door to summon Colin. She apologized, and in an
attempt to regain his trust, promised to 'forget everything' if he let
her go. Her promises fell on deaf ears though, due to her secret message
to Sam through "Broadhurst vs. Hal's". He told her that if he let her go,
she and Sam and Commissioner Buchanan would hunt him down! She wanted to
know how he knew about Bo, because she'd never mentioned his job. Colin
said Bo had been in the papers.

She remained steadfast in her attempt to ferret out the real reason he
was keeping her captive. Finally, he asked her if she'd ever taken a
wrong step and then was unable to take it back... Nora asked him if that
was what happened with her, but he was already on his way out the door...

BO AND LANIE'S TRUTH POSTPONED...

As Lindsay asked for the truth from Lanie about her relationship with Bo,
Sam suddenly appeared, looking for Melanie. Lindsay began calling Sam
names. She was livid that he wanted the mother of his children to go to
jail! Sam insisted that because of her lies, it was what she deserved!
That her lie was a 'bomb that could make whole families vanish'. Lindsay
maintained that the paternity issue wasn't a lie!

Sam told her she didn't have Bo, and was trying anyway she could to get
him back. That she saw him slipping away. The reality of it was that Bo
was 'over'! All the tricks Lindsay played pushed him away from her, you
could see it in his eyes! Lindsay squinted hard at him and fired back "I
look into his eyes a lot more than you do and the only thing I notice
lately is how much they look like Matthew's!"

COLIN DANGLES MORE BAIT?

Nora asked Colin how Sam and Matthew were. He told her Sam was fine, 'all
business', but that he hadn't seen Matthew. He offered her physical
therapy, as a way to heal faster. Nora wondered why he was trying to make
her better. He said so that she could go home. As he worked on her feet,
he said that they would begin slowly, progressing to sitting, standing
and finally, walking. Nora wondered at the two different Colins...

A WITCH'S GALLERY IS HER CASTLE!

As she arrived home, Lindsay was met by an upset Colin. Once inside, he
told her that jail would be 'redundant in a few weeks.' He told her that
Nora was getting well and that he was letting her go! That Lindsay had
better figure how not to have him charged with kidnapping, because if he
went down, Lindsay was going down too!

FINAL  MOMENTS...

Will passionately kissed Jessica as Todd watched, intrigued. Fireworks
exploded in the sky...

Sam, at Nora's plaque, wondered aloud if it were possible that Matthew
were Bo's. He asked if she had tried to send him a message. He remained
strong in his conviction that she is alive...

Lanie found Bo and told him that she'd nearly revealed the truth to
Lindsay about their relationship. Bo told her that he thought maybe it
was about time Lindsay knew the truth...
