LINDSAY/SAM:  LIES AND…LOVE????

At Sam’s house, Lindsay is talking to Will on the phone and desperately trying to talk him into coming home.  Lindsay lies to Will and tells him that Cristian is trying to ruin Jen and Lindsay relationship and really needs him home with her.  Sam walks in and hears part of the conversation

Lindsay tells Sam that Cristian has turned Jen against her.  Sam is onto Lindsay's lies and questions her and her involvement with the whole Cristian/Jen fiasco.  Lindsay tells Sam that Cris accused Lindsay of putting him on the Internet.  Of course, Lindsay denies the accusations.  Sam, knowing Lindsay has a hard time with the truth, suggests that maybe Cris is the one telling the truth.  Lindsay, once again, denies any and all accusations that she had anything to do with the Internet scandal that ultimately led to Cris and Jen’s breakup.

Lindsay admits to Sam she doesn’t want to lose Jen because she just lost Will and does not want to be alone.  Sam says she still has him.  Lindsay seems astonished that Sam would stand by her no matter what.  Sam admits their lives will always be connected because of their kids.  Lindsay playfully hints maybe there is more that keeps them connected and lightheartedly tries to explain their bond.  Lindsay then kisses (what seems to be) a more than willing Sam! 

CRISTIAN/JEN:  LET’S PLAY HOUSE!!!!

Jen arrives at Cris’ apartment wracked with guilt for doubting Cristian and his love and faithfulness.  Cris is very forgiving and understanding.  He is just glad Jen believes him now.  They both profess their love for one another. 

It’s late, but Jen insists she does not want to go home.  She is realizing more and more the sick and twisted things her Mom has done to break the two of them up and is thoroughly disgusted.  Cris has a solution.  Jen should move in with Cris!  After a little thought, Jen happily agrees. 

Cris wants Jen to be sure she wants to cut Lindsay out of her life for good.  Cris knows later in life, Jen may regret her actions.  Jen explains she can no longer keep forgiving her mother for all the bad things she does.  Jen leaves to pack a suitcase and tell Sam her plans.  When she arrives at Sam’s place, she walks in on her parents sharing a passionate kiss and embrace!!

ANTONIO/KERI:  CHARM WILL GET YOU…NOWHERE!!!!

Antonio is busted by Keri once introductions are over and finds out she is the “push over” professor he thinks he has for his Criminology class.

Antonio tries to back track and explain to her he was only kidding and he knew all along that Keri was the professor.  Keri doesn’t buy it.  Eventually, Antonio charmingly admits he didn’t know who she was and didn’t mean the things he said.  He formally and sincerely apologizes.  Keri accepts the apology but refuses to sign the credit release form.  Antonio is in disbelief.  Antonio is even more shocked when Keri asks him to call her Professor.  She wants Antonio to earn the credits and asks to see a sample Criminology paper he has supposedly written.  Antonio is so taken back by her request, and the fact his charm alone did not convince Keri to give him the credits, so he leaves the Professor’s office totally offended.  Keri writes Antonio off as a jerk and goes about her work. 

Antonio visits Cristian where he finds out that Jen is moving in with Cris.

BEN/ALLISON:  ARE YOU CRAZY TOO????

Allison finds Ben in her room at St. Ann’s snooping around.  Ben finds Viki’s book about surviving breast cancer, A Survivor’s Story, among Allison’s belongings.  Allison then begins questioning Ben about what he is doing there.  Thinking fast on his feet, Ben responds in a childlike manner saying he is looking for love.  He is pretending to be a patient at St. Ann’s!

Sister Catherine comes into Allison’s room and where Allison quizzes the sister about Ben’s status as a patient.  Ben tries to convince Sister Catherine and Allison that he is an outpatient named Dave and gets the Sister to leave.  Allison falls for his act and reveals she will be leaving St. Ann’s soon.  She mysteriously says she is going to visit someone she knows from her past.  Ben (as Dave) questions who this person is, but Allison refused to reveal the person’s name.  Ben leaves Allison room.

Allison, now alone, wickedly laughs at the title of Viki’s book, hinting there will be no “Survival”.

VIKI/LARRY/JESSICA:  WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW WON’T HURT YOU????

At Llanfair, Larry and Viki discuss the freedom Viki feels after forgiving Allison.  However, Viki admits she does have an unsettled feeling about Allison.  Viki is having a hard time believing Allison can change that much after the horrific act she committed against Viki (kidnapping Jessica as an infant).

Jessica comes into the library where Larry and Viki are talking and overhears part of the conversation and wants to know the Allison Perkins story.  Viki decides to tell her about the kidnapping.  Larry leaves them to discuss things in private.  Viki gently explains the kidnapping and the circumstances surrounding it.  Jessica is in disbelief and wonders why she was never told about this before now.  Viki and Clint did not want Jessica growing up with the kidnapping in the back of her mind.  Viki and Jessica decide they are just happy Allison brought her back.  Viki shares with Jessica that Allison is very sorry for what she had done.

Jessica finally realizes that the kidnapping is the reason why Viki was overprotective with Jessica growing up.  Viki and Jessica lovingly embrace.  Jessica says she will miss Viki when she goes on her book tour.  Ben arrives at the end of their conversation and Jessica leaves.

Viki questions Ben about what he’s been up to today.  He responds and says he was just running errands.  Ben, however, asks Viki for an autographed copy of A Survivor’s Story to give to someone (Allison?).

COMIC RELIEF OF THE EPISODE:  Ben acting as a patient at St. Ann’s was hilarious.  He sounded like an 8-year-old boy and was simply adorable.
