A NEW LEAF?

Cris looked at Roseanne and asked her if she was really going to let them
go. She told him it was true, she wouldn't fight him anymore about the
annulment. She said she was sorry, she wished Will were there so she
could tell him too. She told Jessica she owed her a special apology, that
she had always been jealous of her. Jessica was blonde and beautiful and
rich, and she felt she had no way to compete, which drove her to fight
back.

Roseanne hoped the day would come when they would be able to forgive her.
Jessica looked at her coldly and noted to Cris that it had been Roseanne
who had turned them into the police the last time! She told Roseanne that
she believed in 'actions, not words'. As they left, Roseanne stopped Cris
and, taking off her wedding ring, placed it in his hand. She said she
hoped that he could find a way not to hate her. He said that he already
had.

WILL'S NEW HIDEOUT

Colin told Will that he couldn't stay there! Will asked if it were Lanie
upstairs, and Colin said no. Will said "Scarlet?", and Colin stopped
dead in his tracks. Scarlet? Why would Will think that it was Lanie?
Will said it could be a nickname for all he knew! He wanted to know why
the woman had been screaming and Colin said that 'some women were quiet
and others made a lot of  noise'. Will looked embarrassed, and not happy
with the fact that Colin was bringing other women into his Aunt Lane's
house! Colin told him that Lanie had left, and filed for divorce, nothing
that someone so young would know anything about! Will said he did know
what it was to really love someone and to give them up!

HOSPITAL NIGHTMARE REPLAY!

Sam ushered Lindsay out of Matthew's room quickly by the elbow! He asked
her if she'd talked to Will, that he knew she was up to something. She
said she wasn't. He told her to back off of Lanie, that she'd had her
chance with Bo and she had blown it! Lindsay said she wouldn't be too
sure about that... Sam looked at her through narrowed lids as he asked
her in a menacingly quiet tone 'what had she done now?'. Viki rushed in
on them and asked if she was interrupting something...

Sam told Viki the news about Matthew and she was relieved to hear it. She
told him about the kids, finding Max and not knowing where Will was. She
also said that Todd had 'helped'. Lindsay interjected to Sam at this
point that Sam had 'always put Todd ahead of his own children!' He looked
at her as if she were as welcome as a wet sock and told her he didn't
have time for it!

'UP ON THE ROOF'...

Melanie and Bo were engaged in a kiss when Melanie put her hands on Bo
and asked him to 'stop'. She lied then, telling him that she was going
back to Colin. She tried to smile as she said that Colin hadn't signed
the papers and that now she was glad. Bo said that he had seen her leave
with Lindsay and Colin the night before. She told him that had been the
turning point for her, that Colin had asked her to come back. She
believed her marriage deserved another chance. Bo had one question
though, he wondered why Melanie couldn't seem to look him in the eye...

THE NEW ROSEANNE...

Antonio told Roseanne that she had done something good. She asked him not
to give her credit for cleaning up her own mess, undoing what she had
done herself! That her apologies were 'too little too late'. She said she
would always love Cristian, but not the way she did before. Cris had
given everything up for Jessica. He had been on the run with her for
months, while she slept alone in the penthouse. She told Antonio she
wanted to have what they had. She wanted to find someone who would love
her back. She asked Antonio if he wanted that too, and he said he guessed
that he did...

COLIN'S REVOLVING DOOR...

Colin told Will that he loved Lanie and wanted her back, but he didn't
think it would be possible this time. Will said he needed to get out of
the country, he needed to look different, get plastic surgery! Colin said
that Lanie wouldn't do that! Will told Colin to let Lanie know that he
needed to see her, but that he wouldn't leave until he had!

ROOFTOP DILEMMA...

Melanie said that she couldn't look at Bo because she felt ashamed, that
she had led him on. Bo said that he had known she was married and he knew
she had been pulling away, he just didn't know why... He wondered why she
hadn't told him sooner. He said that it was 'funny' because the kiss they
had shared didn't 'feel like goodbye'. He said her husband was  a jerk
and he didn't deserve any more chances, but it was her call to make.
Melanie said she had to go, she had patients to see...

NIGHTMARE ON HOSPITAL STREET...

Lindsay 'accused' Sam of wanting to tell Viki about Matthew's paternity!
She said it was because he blamed her for it, that Viki had a right to
know, and Matthew too! Sam told her that Nora was dead and the only
family that Matthew had, was him! Matthew's doctor came over and told Sam
that if his condition remained stable, he would be going home later that
day or the next morning. Lindsay, thinking over Sam's words, countered
with the fact that the 'only family Grace had ever known, was the
Monroe's'. She wondered aloud if that meant she wasn't really Sam's
sister?

Melanie came in from upstairs and Sam asked her to tell Bo the good news
about Matthew. She told Sam that he had to tell Bo himself because she
wouldn't be seeing him anymore. Sam went up to the roof as, downstairs,
Lindsay sidled up to Lanie for the 'kill'. She told Lanie that if it
wasn't 'too rude' what did she mean she wouldn't be seeing Bo anymore!
She wanted to know what had happened! Lanie said she'd told Bo that she
was going back to Colin. Lindsay said she was there if Lanie wanted to
talk...but Lanie said she wanted to be alone.

FAMILY REUNION - LLANFAIR

When Viki returned from the hospital, she found Jessica and Cris waiting
for her in the library. Jess told her mom that she was never leaving
again! Viki said she was going to call Sam and Jess insisted that he
would have to turn her in and take her away! Viki said she had some good
news! Her test results showed her condition was excellent and she had
only one more chemotherapy treatment to go! She was doing better than
anyone had expected! She was nonplussed when no one leapt for joy. Cris
quietly said that Todd had told them that she was dying, and that was why
they had come back! Viki said that Todd thought she wanted Jessica home
but he had scared them half to death,  and that she was so sorry!

WILL'S HIDEAWAY, PART TWO...

Colin told Will to go to his dads, that Lanie was there! Will said he
would hide in the basement and not come out until Lanie came! Colin said
she wouldn't believe him, he would have to have proof. Will gave him his
engraved watch, and Colin agreed. He told Colin that he had already spent
the night in the basement, and that he wanted to see his uncle Ben too.
Colin walked Will to the basement door and after Will had gone down the
stairs, he locked the door behind him...

BO'S UP TO HIS NOSE...

Lindsay went to Bo on the roof and told him that Lanie said she would
find him there. She told Bo it looked as though Lanie had hurt him. He
said he didn't want to discuss Lanie with her. Lindsay said she knew,
that Lanie was 'the good one' and she was 'the bad one', but it wasn't
always that way, was it? Bo asked her to continue... She said that Nora
had hurt him more than anyone, had made a baby with another man and tried
to pass it off as his. She said she knew her baby was his, but she had
never used it to try to get him back...

She said the night she had lost the baby she was alone and he had been
with Lanie. He apologized, and reminded her that he was sorry from the
start. Lindsay said he'd only seen the sweet side of Lanie, she was her
sister and she loved her but...What does it tell you about a person if
they go back to a man like Colin? That they can't be trusted! She told Bo
that he could trust her! Bo said he thought it meant that Melanie was
'confused' was all. Lindsay said she loved Bo, always had, always would,
and could they have another chance?

ROSEANNE AND ANTONIO...

Roseanne smiled as she asked Antonio if he had any advice for her, that
she promised to follow it immediately this time! He smiled and shrugged
and said he didn't, but that she could still be a 'part of Cris'. She
asked him if he felt he could still be a 'part of Andy'. She said she'd
always felt like a loser, chasing after Cristian! He told her she was a
beautiful, interesting, smart woman and rich too!  That she would have
many men after her, but she should wait until she found the right one!
She said she had better 'go see about an annulment' and that she thought
she was going to be 'okay'!

BO - SAM - LINDSAY - QUESTION

Sam asked Bo if he'd heard the good news! He eyed Lindsay and asked if
there wasn't someplace she had to be! She said that as a matter of fact,
there was! Sam told Bo about Matthew's good news, and Bo thanked Sam for
letting him be there. He asked Sam what they were going to do, now that
Matthew was out of the woods, about his paternity?

LLANFAIR FEAST...

Viki asked Jess and Cris, who were busy gulping sandwiches, if Will had
'gone' on his own or because of what Todd had said. Jess said that she
had kept her promise, but Will had broken his. Someone was at the front
door and Viki told them not to move as she shut the library doors. Sykes
was waiting outside, and he told Viki that he had arrest warrants for
Jessica and Cristian. Viki just smiled...

COLIN STRIKES A BLOW!

Colin startled Lindsay as she 'waited for Bo' in the park... He said they
had to talk, but she told him it not there and not then! She said Lanie
had told Bo that she was going back to him. He asked her how he was going
to get Lanie back when he would be in jail for kidnapping Nora? She said
he was smart enough to figure it out! He announced that he already had!
He had a 'get out of jail free card'! He said that he knew where Will was
hiding and when she didn't believe him, he showed her the watch! She
asked where he was and he said she didn't need to know! Colin said he
would turn Will over to the police, that she had to take the rap for Nora
or Will was going to Statesville!
