<<< BACK TO RECAPS  INDEX

COURTHOUSE

Skye listened from her hiding place as Rae and John discussed her
paternity. Rae was nervous about having to tell Skye's father! Skye was
becoming annoyed because although Rae continued to talk, she never once
mentioned the man's name! John was worried about Rae's former
'connection' with this man!

BO'S

Bo told Lanie that Renee had sent over a book of invitations for them to
look through. Lanie wanted their honeymoon destination to be Key West, no matter how Bo tried to dissuade her! She wondered why it appeared that Bo kept changing the subject. He wasn't allowing her to tell him what she needed to say!

DINER

Jen walked into the diner and instead of seeing 'Cris' standing in front
of her, it was Colin, as a dead man! She asked if Cris thought the
nightmares and 'sightings' were ever going to end! He assured her that it
would but she worried that if Colin were found that they would get in
trouble! Cris reminded her they had already been questioned by the police
and it was okay. She thanked him for sticking by her and he promised he
would continue to stay by her side. Feeling hungry, they decided to make
'lunch' which turned out to be a huge banana split! First, of course they
had a whipped cream splash fight!

'HELL MOM!'

Todd said if Lindsay didn't leave Jessica alone he would stuff her in a
cargo container, send her to a convent or take her to a country club and
tell everyone her secrets! Everyone had secrets and not only was he good
at it, he loved doing it, and unless she stayed away from Jess, he'd do
it! As Lindsay was leaving, he told her that Jess was his niece and he
knew where she lived!

Jess wondered why some people were always believed and forgiven, no
matter what they did! Why were people like her still running around free!
Todd said you could 'know' the truth, but you had to be able to prove it!
He advised her to find Lindsay's Achilles heel and use it! He had lost
something and now couldn't seem to get it back! Jess knew he was talking
about the evidence and said people did some crazy things for love. Todd
reminded her that he would cover for her if she covered for him!

COURTHOUSE

Rae wondered what she would do if Skye's father didn't accept her! She
blamed herself for never having told him she had a child! They had told
her that the baby 'died' and John felt she wasn't to blame! As Rae might
have been about to reveal important information, John suspected their
conversation wasn't 'private'! He walked to the back of the room, gently
took Skye's arm and invited her to join the conversation!

BO'S

Asa told Lanie about Lindsay's visit to Bo's office concerning her
'secret'! Bo was sorry, but it seemed Lanie was the last person on Earth
to see Colin alive! He had questions to ask her but she didn't want him
to compromise his integrity! He asked her if she were responsible for
Colin's disappearance!

UNCLE TODD

Jess told him that there wasn't anything to cover up! Todd needed his
thing back from Bo and Bo being Jess' Uncle and all...Jess looked
horrified and refused to steal anything for him! Todd could tell Jess
knew something about Colin, and promised he wouldn't tell anybody if she
confided in him! She said that his general personality was about lying,
stealing and ruining lives! Todd wondered if Will was worth all of this
protection! Jess asserted her reason for loyalty was love. Todd could
make sure that if she told him, the cops wouldn't know about it until
'later'! Will walked in and asked what Jess was doing! Will must have
done something and now Jess was covering for him! Todd told Jess not to
let Will misbehave or he would 'sic' his mother on her!

BO'S

Was Lanie responsible for Colin's disappearance? No, and she didn't have
any idea where he was so Bo took himself 'off the clock'! They could
officially begin to plan their wedding. Lanie realized that she needed a
maid of honor and the only person she would want in that position, was
Nora! Bo explained that Hank was going to be his Best Man and he was
Nora's ex-husband and had also been the Best Man at their wedding! 

BUILDING A MYSTERY!

Cris and Jen were building a 'mystery' with this huge ice cream
confection! Lindsay spied them through the window and went in to order a
coffee. She asked Jen what they were doing and she asked if her mom
remembered a little thing called 'fun'! Lindsay tried to lure Jen back to
her gallery for some mother/daughter 'fun' but when she didn't take the
bait it turned sour. Lindsay would not allow her daughter to see Cris
anymore! 

COURTHOUSE

Rae promised Skye she would provide her with her father's name but she
was afraid her new father might hate her! Rae joked that he wouldn't
until he got to know her! Skye actually found her mother funny! Rae
explained she was doing all of this for Skye, she had messed it up the
first time. She wanted this to turn out right, to be the best possible
moment for Skye and her father to meet! Rae had to leave because she had an early flight out in the morning and told John she would be calling him. 

When Rae left John turned to Skye because he knew she had something
planned! She feigned innocence but when she was alone she phoned the
airport! She found out the destination of Rae's flight and booked herself
on a flight that evening for Port Charles! 

FAMILY TIES

Jess told Will that she kept 'seeing' Colin lying there and felt if she
didn't talk about it with someone she would go crazy! Will felt that if
they talked about it, someone might hear and then they could go to
prison!

DINER

Cris reminded Lindsay that her daughter was eighteen! Lindsay cared so
much for her 'family', had she cared that much when she cheated on Sam!
Lindsay said that Colin had traumatized her but Jen said that Cris had
done more for her than Lindsay ever could! Her mother maintained that
they needed each other but Jen said she was going to stay at the diner.
When she was through she 'would' go home, to her father's! 

FINAL MOMENTS...

Lindsay left the diner and met Todd outside, who insisted that they were
going to have a little 'talk'!

Jen told Cris that she wanted to stay and have ice cream. Then, over
their desert, she kissed him!

Bo and Lanie curled up on the sofa and cuddled. 

Will and Jess endured the wall of silence that separated them until they
were pulled into each other's arms.

Outside of town, on a hill in Cherryvale, Colin MacIver rose up from his
grave!
