'ONE, TWO, BUCKLE MY SHOE'

As Max dressed for the day Nigel inquired about Miss Blair's whereabouts.
He was told that she was gone for good, and as Skye entered the room Max
said that he was 'all hers'. He instructed Nigel to have someone bring
Skye's bags to his room, but she preferred to keep her own. She told him
that since Blair had made the decision and not him, that she was the one
'leftover'. She insisted upon having the 'real deal' and wanted Blair to
be out of Max's heart, too.

KRAMER WOMEN MEET T AT DORIAN'S

Kelly seemed surprised to see Blair at Dorian', and Blair told her that
she'd be staying there for awhile. Kelly mentioned hers and Joey's
possible need for extra space because they were trying to have a baby!
Blair was incredulous, and told her that they were 'mistake magnets',
losers who were never truly happy! Blair told Kelly that Joey couldn't
know that she was in love with his brother! She thought that in Kelly's
attempt to have a baby, she was trying to close the door on Kevin, but
that could never happen. You couldn't close the door on someone who was
already in your heart!

A LITTLE RED FLAG ALERT?

Bo slipped his jacket on, dressing for the day ahead. His eyes fell on
one of the small flags he and Melanie had gotten the night before at the fireworks.

Melanie, at the clinic, was holding her flag, when Colin came up behind
her with flowers. He wanted her to 'call off' the divorce, and she asked
him to 'drop the counter suit'! He refused. She said  that Lindsay did
not need to know about her and Bo. Colin said that it was 'too late'. He
told her he would drop the counter suit, if she would answer one question
for him. Was she still involved with Bo?

WITCH:" I'M MELTING! " I'M MELTING!"

Outside of Bo's apartment, Lindsay argued aloud with her 'conscience',
'Nora'. Nora told her that Bo had an affair with her sister! Lindsay said
that Colin lied! Lindsay wasn't worried about Bo, but Nora said "he'd do
it!" and Lindsay said "No Way!" All this, out loud, she finally yelled at
'Nora' to "shut up!". Bo's door opened and he asked 'who' she was talking
to. She asked if she could come in for just one minute. Bo said it wasn't
a good time, but let her come in.

She said she'd thought up a way to get a new DNA test from Sam. She'd
take a lie detector test, and when Sam saw that she was telling the truth
about Jeff Barnes, he'd have to admit defeat. Bo told her that although
the idea was good, it wouldn't work because Sam knew it was the truth,
but was in denial. Lindsay offered to talk to Sam. Bo asked that she stay
away from Sam, that he really meant it! He said he felt that Melanie
might have a better chance because she lived with Sam, she was around,
knew him a long time, that you felt she was a person you could confide
in. 'Nora' the ghost, was egging her on to ask if he'd slept with Lanie,
and out loud Lindsay said "No!" Bo wondered aloud what was 'going on'
with her?

THREE, FOUR, SHUT THE DOOR!

Max told Skye that Blair didn't exist, he'd cut her out of his heart when
she left. He said he was ready for something real. Skye said he needed to
earn this, that he'd have no 'free shoulder' to cry on. Max asked if she
knew why Blair had left. He told Skye it was because he wouldn't throw
her out, that she was his future! He said he was finally free to love
her. They sat on the bed, and Max began to unbutton her jacket...but...

Skye broke out of his arms accusing him of wanting Blair! He yelled to
her that he 'didn't want to want Blair! Most of the time he didn't even
like her! That Skye was right when she said that he loved Blair.' She
thanked him for telling her. She said that she would be moving out,
because she now knew where she stood with him. Max knew they still had
some issues to work out between them. Skye cocked an eyebrow at him and
asked if he was worried that maybe he should be packing too...He asked
her if she intended to tell Asa that he was not his real son...

CHERRYVALE'S 'SAINT LANIE!' 

Lanie implored Colin to  unfile the counter suit! She didn't want to see
Lindsay hurt by all of that, she was in bad shape! Colin called her
'Saint Lanie', noting her concern and the fact that it 'all seemed to
come back to Bo!' He wanted to know if she cared about Lindsay's
happiness enough to give up her 'thing' with Bo. Lanie insisted that
there was no 'thing with Bo!'

Colin asked Lanie what she and Bo had, she said that they were 'friends',
but she didn't know what kind! They had a connection and a shared concern
for Lindsay. Colin said that  was 'it' then, that he would 'see her
around'. Lanie said she needed to know that he wouldn't tell Lindsay
about Bo! He said he didn't want to do anything that would hurt her...

KELLY'S QUESTION...

Kelly asked Blair who had blown the happy marriage, her or Max? Blair
told her 'Skye' was what happened to the marriage! Blair lamented that
she always thought Max loved her. She had offered to 'forgive and
forget', to start over, but when she forced him to choose, he chose
Skye... She mentioned revenge and Kelly said she didn't think revenge
would work. Blair said that Max would get tired of Skye and when he did,
he would come crawling back to her! Kelly had just one question: what if
he didn't come back?

"OH! WHAT  A WORLD! WHAT A WORLD!"

Lindsay told Bo she needed to ask him something, that she had 'no clue'
about where she stood with him. She told Bo that she loved him, and
wanted to know if he loved her. He said that he did, but that things had
changed, and he was sorry...

FIVE, SIX, PICK UP STICKS...

Max asked Skye how much she intended to punish him, for his honesty.
Would she expose him? She said he'd been a very bad boy, but no, he could
be Asa's for as long as he liked. When he thanked her, she told him to
'thank Ben', she'd promised him she'd never tell! Max smirked and told
her that she must have enjoyed every minute torturing him and Blair!

COLIN BERATES HIS 'CHARGE'!

He began yelling at Nora for the note she had written saying she was
being held captive by Dr. MacIver! Then he apologized, saying he'd had a
bad day, that Lanie's been keeping secrets! He said Nora didn't 'tell
him' about that guy! Nora feigned ignorance, "what guy? who?" Colin said "Bo!"

" A GIRL LIKE YOU COULD DESTROY MY WICKEDNESS!

Lindsay told Bo that love doesn't just 'die'. Bo said that he cared about
her, but that he couldn't love her, not the way he once did. She asked
him if there was anybody else, and he said that his feelings didn't have
to 'do' with anybody else. Lindsay told him she 'admired his honesty',
that it was his best quality... Outside in the hall, Nora the 'ghost'
whispered in her ear "wanna take bets where he's going?" Lindsay hurried
along, to follow him...

CLOSING MOMENTS:

As Blair told Kelly that "revenge began when Max crawled back", the
doorbell rang. She bet that was him! When she opened the door, Skye asked
if she could come in...

Colin was still arguing with Nora, and she pretended not to know this 'Bo!'

Nigel, about to give Max the newspaper, then said that 'under the
circumstances' perhaps Max shouldn't read them. Max looked quizzically at
him, and he said "there were two women here this morning, and now both are gone..."

Bo, at Cherryvale Clinic, caught up with Melanie where, overheard and
watched by Lindsay, told her "we need to talk, about us..."
