TAKES A LICKIN' & KEEPS ON KISSIN'!

Antonio and Roseanne's kiss was ending as Sophia turned up to rescue her
partner! She wanted to call '911' and get him to the hospital, but he
refused.

WAITING FOR BEN

Viki was reading in her room when Ben finally arrived home. He told her
that Sam wasn't doing well. She wanted to know if he had told Sam that he
was Asa's son. Ben told her he couldn't, because when he got to Sam's,
Asa was there! He said the entire situation was out of control!

SAM HAS A PLAN

As Sam put the gun back into his desk drawer, Lindsay rang the bell. He
asked that she be truly honest with him, for the sake of the 'fourteen
years and two children' they had had together. He told her that if she
could 'be there' for him, then he would promise to help her out in any
way he could...

ASA'S WORST NIGHTMARE

Asa was asleep in his office chair when Max found him, and crying out
from a nightmare! He was calling Max's name. He said that in his dream,
Ben was talking to him about something. He told Max that Ben had to be
stopped! He said that Sam had pulled a gun on him! When Max asked why it
happened, Asa admitted that Sam had freaked when he gave him a court
order for a paternity test! Max said he didn't blame Sam for 'freaking'!
Asa said he didn't want a Buchanan to be raised by 'mongrels'. Max told
him that he and Blair were going to have a baby! Asa wanted to know if
Max was out of his mind!

THIS FROG'S FOR YOU!

Blair went into Starr's room and found her awake, wanted to know if
everything was alright, why wasn't she asleep? Starr told her mother that
she had been 'talking to daddy'...Blair assumed she meant 'Freddy The
Magic Frog' that her dad told her to talk to, when she was lonely and he
wasn't there. Starr said no, she meant her real daddy! Todd stepped into
the light at this point and Blair told Starr to go and visit Nigel in the
kitchen for some cookies!

'WOULD I LIE TO YOU?'

Lindsay told Sam that Nora was dead and he had better accept it! Sam told
her that his information had come from Will! She wanted to know if it was
true and how and where Will was! Sam told her that Todd had said Nora was
alive and Will had spoken to her! Lindsay said he must have
misunderstood. She wanted to know if Will had told his father that 'she'
had held Nora against her will! Sam said that Colin had 'no motive', but
she did! He restated his first offer to her, if she told the truth he
would help her! He asked her to tell him where Nora was! He said if she
didn't help him, he would have no choice! Lindsay said that the experts
told him that no one could have survived that train wreck! He glared at
her one last time and said that if she didn't help him find Nora she
would spend the rest of her life paying for it!

BABY MAKES ASA SCREAM!

Asa told Max he was not happy that they were going to have a baby! He
reminded Max that he had been married to Blair too! In the end though, he
poured them both a drink and they had a toast to 'the kid'! He told Max
that he intended to rebuild his home before he died, and to get Bo back
too! He said that Bo was going to thank him when he handed Matthew over
to him! Max told Asa that being his son was the best thing that ever
happened to him. He said he wouldn't care if Asa had nothing, that he
loved him. Asa spoke of family loyalties and eventually came around to
the fact that if things did not work out the way he hoped, Max and his
brood would inherit it all!

STARR'S 'MA' & 'PA'

Blair told Todd to leave, but he told her had a right to see Starr! She
told him that he ought to call first, like a 'normal person'! He scoffed
at her use of the word 'normal'! He asked her how Max was. She said she
loved him. He wanted to know if she had a plan for Max. She said it
didn't concern him, but he said that it did! He asked her if Max had a
'secret', because if he did, she was going to tell him what it was!

'911!' EMERGENCY!

Sophia insisted on going to the hospital but Antonio flatly refused. He
said if he showed up in the E.R. it would make the 'news' and he wanted
this to be kept quiet! Roseanne reminded him that R.J. had tried to drown
him! Antonio said he intended to put him away for good. He tried to head
home, but clung to the rail in pain. With Sophia on one side and Roseanne
on the other, together they walked Antonio home!

LLANFAIR BOUDOIR

Ben told Viki that Asa had given Sam a court order for a paternity test
and it had Sam in a rage! He didn't want Sam to think that he was going
to lose him, too, by telling him that he was Asa's son! He told her that
Sam's call was from Will, and that Nora was alive, which wasn't possible! He admitted he felt that maybe Will hadn't called at all...

TWISTED SISTER!

Lindsay wanted to know why Will hadn't called the cops! Why had the
police searched and found nothing! Lanie agreed with her sister that it
was a lot to assume, on Sam's part. He told Lindsay to 'come clean' or
she should enjoy her freedom, what she had left of it!

After Sam left the room, Lindsay remarked to Lanie that she thought Sam
had had a 'break with reality'. Lanie quickly threw it back to her,  with
a remark about the one that Lindsay had, over Bo! Lindsay said that she
was 'really trying' to get herself back! She said that Sam was
hallucinating and just' why' was Lanie looking at her 'like that'! Lanie
didn't answer...

DOUBLE FUN, OR TROUBLE?

Antonio, back at his apartment, had two women caring for him. Sophia
lightly smacked him on the head and he yelled that she'd given him a
concussion! She was angry with him for going after R.J. alone, without
any back-up! He insisted he was not going to report R.J. to the police,
he was going to let it go for the time being. Sophia asked Roseanne if
she would be alright taking care of him, and seeing that all would be
well, left for the night to study for an exam. After she had gone,
Antonio told Roseanne that Sophia was a 'good kid'...

LLANFAIR LULLABY...

Viki and Ben turned down the duvet cover as they discussed the problems
of the Rappaport clan. Ben told her that Todd had entered the picture and
was agreeing with Sam that Nora was alive! Viki said she would have to
have a talk with him about it! Viki agreed that Nora's dying was 'fate'...

'FACE OFF!'

Lindsay studied her sister and told her that Nora was dead and Sam was
the only one who didn't believe it! Lanie countered that she 'had' been
hanging out with Colin a lot lately. She told Lindsay how he had refused
to allow her upstairs...could Nora have been the reason? She further
stated that a lot of things were just not making sense, lately. Lindsay
told her to let her in on those things, so that she could do whatever it
took, to make Lanie see the truth, and believe her...

'CRYING'

Sophia, at the scene of R.J.'s crime, crouched over the bloody spot where
Antonio's head had been. She touched her finger to the spot and began to
cry. She stood and tried to regain her composure when R.J. stepped out of
the shadows and began to taunt her! She turned on him and said she knew
he had done the crime and that there had been witnesses! He asked her if
she was 'sure' she wanted to 'do that'! She began to 'threaten' R.J. for
all she was worth when a smile suddenly crossed his features. He realized
that she was in love with Antonio, too!

'I VANT YOU! '

Roseanne wanted to help Antonio, he figured he had a broken rib or two.
He sat up and pulled off his shirt and Roseanne's eyes flew to his bare
chest like a vampire spying a vein!

LLANFAIR EVENING...

Ben said that Viki looked tired and asked if it was the 'chemo'. Viki
said that it probably was. Ben said he felt sad for Sam, he wanted to
help him, but couldn't. He saw a worried look on Viki's face and was
quick to tell her that her test results would be fine, the cancer would
be in remission and that their grandchildren would have grandchildren!
She chuckled and asked if he would have 'his and hers rockers' for two
oldsters! He agreed, as long as she had room for a king sized bed in the
room above it!

MAX'S AMUSEMENT

Blair jokingly told Max that maybe Starr was 'right' about Freddie Frog!
He reminded her that they had a 'date' in their bedroom, to make a new
Buchanan!

HIGH STAKES INSOMNIA!

Viki told Ben that she wasn't sleepy and was going downstairs to read. He
told her that if she wasn't sleepy, he wasn't either! He grabbed a deck
of playing cards and began to deal out a hand of Blackjack, at 'one
million dollars a hand!'

THE DOCK...

Sophia blanched at R.J.'s suggestion about her and Antonio! She said that
they were partners only! They were like brother and sister! She told R.J.
that he was just blowing smoke, but he warned her about the rest of that
quotation! He said she had better be careful or she just might get
burned!

'TEA FOR TWO'

Roseanne made Antonio as comfortable as she could, and said she would be
on her way if he would let her make him a cup of herbal tea. He thought
she was joking, but she reminded him that she used to live there and
thought she had left a box of chamomile tea behind. He agreed, on one
condition, that she stay to have a cup with him...

MELANIE'S SUSPICION

Lindsay swore that she had no idea where Nora was! Melanie told her to
'just drop it!' Lindsay agreed, and she left. Melanie looked around on
Sam's desk, found a piece of paper and dialed the phone. She asked to
speak with Bo Buchanan...

ROPING THEM IN...

Asa looked very smug as he entered his office carrying a small pile of
brown envelopes. He spoke aloud in the empty room, "There, that should do it"...

'BABY BLUES!'

Todd told Blair that she didn't have permission to have a baby! She told
him to butt out! He seemed incredulous that she was about to 'grow a
Buchanan'! That this would be Starr's step-brother and he didn't like the
idea! Blair said that she didn't care because it wasn't going to happen!
She was on the pill and she never missed a day! He said that she did have
a plan for Max! She said she did but she wasn't telling! She asked if he
had a plan for Sam and he told her he 'always had a plan!' Blair asked
him what he was going to do, raise Nora from the dead! He told her that
even 'he' wasn't that good!
