Keri/Antonio:  The End??

In Keri’s office, Keri and Antonio discuss the difficulties of having R.J. in their lives.  Antonio and Keri don’t want to lose each other.  Antonio is willing to try anything to keep her.  Antonio tells Keri he will bite his tongue when he is around R.J. for the sake of preserving the relationship.  Keri, however, does not believe Antonio will be able to do that because of his temper.  Keri wants R.J. and Antonio both to be a part of her life and doesn’t want to have to choose between them.  Keri decides to end the relationship.  Antonio tries to leave, but Keri calls him back to discuss the awards dinner tonight.  Antonio says he is not going, and Keri also says she is not going to attend the dinner, either.  Antonio leaves with tears in his eyes, while Keri cries in her office.

Later, another faculty member comes in with Keri’s invitation to the awards dinner.  Her colleague tells Keri she has a responsibility to attend since she mentored one of the nominees (Antonio).  Remembering Antonio said he wasn’t going to attend, Keri changes her mind and decides to go after all.

Natalie/Seth/Viki:  Finally a Family!!

At Llanfair, Viki walks in on Seth telling Natalie he is in love with Jessica and not her.  Seth leaves.  Viki asks Natalie if she is the one who destroyed Jessica’s flowers.  Natalie admits she was angry Seth sent Jessica flowers.  Viki wants Natalie to talk to her about her feelings.  How can Viki forgive her for all she has done?  Is Natalie asking for forgiveness?  Natalie reveals she doesn’t know how to ask for forgiveness; she does not want to get hurt.  Viki and Ben want to get close to Natalie but she has a wall built up around her to keep the hurt out.  Viki explains her family will help her.  Natalie then realizes what a great mother she has in Viki.  Natalie thought Viki only cared for Jessica.  Viki cares for both of her daughters as she shows Natalie care and concern.  Viki does admit she was angry with Natalie in the beginning, but now she understands why Natalie did what she did.  Natalie begins to cry as Viki holds her and gently reassures her everything will be OK.

Jessica/Ben/Seth:  Back Together Again!!

At Llanview University, Ben finds Jessica to give her the paper she worked on last night.  Jessica asks Ben for some medical advice about Roxanne.  Jessica tells Ben about Roxy’s dizzy spells and asks what could cause them.  Ben says it could be a lot of things, or Roxy could be faking the dizzy spells.  Jessica believes Roxy is ill and not trying to con her.  Ben leaves to research the condition for Jessica.

Seth arrives and Jessica thanks him for the flowers.  Seth tells Jessica what Natalie did to the flowers.  Jessica can’t understand Natalie’s mood swings.  However, Jessica does want to find a way to be with Seth without hurting Natalie in the process.  Seth and Jessica agree Natalie will not break them up, no matter what.

Gabrielle/Bo:  What is She Up To Now??

At Bo’s apartment, Bo quizzes Gabrielle why she is not visiting Al at the hospital.  She tells Bo that Al does not want her there.  Gabrielle promises to resume looking for a job because she has to pay Al’s medical bills.  Bo reveals to Gabrielle that Larry told him Asa is paying for the medical bills.  Gabrielle flat out refuses to accept help from Asa.  Gabrielle assures Bo she will find the money for the bills so Asa can be out of Al and Gabrielle’s lives for good.

Antonio arrives to talk to Bo.  Out in the hallway, Bo congratulates him on the award nomination.  Antonio tells Bo he is not going to the dinner, but Bo admits it is also a shining moment for the Llanview Police Department, as well as for Antonio personally.  Antonio agrees to go, at Bo’s urging, especially since he already knows Keri is not going to the dinner.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle calls Todd’s office to see if Todd is there.  She wants to come by to visit him.

Lindsey/Larry/Claire (the Hospital Administrator)/Sam/Ben:  Seeds of Doubt!!

Lindsey is holding a fundraiser for the free clinic at her art gallery.  Sam arrives and discusses Troy with her.  Sam is worried about Lindsey getting hurt by Troy.  Claire interrupts and tells Lindsey she also thinks something is fishy about Troy and Lindsey—this is happening way too quickly.  She tells Lindsey she once asked Troy if he was interested in someone; it wasn’t Lindsey, for sure.  Claire believes he is interested in Nora.  Lindsey admits Troy was once interested in Nora, but that is over.  Claire leaves Sam and Lindsey alone.  Sam trusts Nora and Lindsey tries to convince Sam, as well as herself, she trusts Troy.  Sam leaves.  Soon after, Lindsey frantically leaves the gallery.

Later, Ben finds Larry and asks about Roxanne.  Ben wants to know if Roxy’s illness is genetic and if Jessica is at risk.

Troy/Nora/Lindsey:  Things Are Going Too Far!!

In his apartment, Troy is practicing Colin’s speech patterns and gestures.  Nora arrives angry that Troy told Lindsey he is falling in love with her.  Troy assures Nora he knows what he is doing.  Nora doesn’t want to be involved in this anymore and she wants Troy to stop talking about love with Lindsey.  Troy claims he wants to clear Colin’s name by proving he had help doing those terrible things to Nora.  Nora suspects Troy is up to something else.  Troy then shows Nora Colin’s videotaped will.  After Nora insists he turn the tape off, Troy demonstrates his impression of Colin.  Troy wants to get Lindsey to confess to drugging Nora by pretending to be Colin.  Just then, Lindsey arrives in Troy’s doorway.  How much of the conversation between Nora and Troy did Lindsey hear?

Allison/Roxanne:  Phase 2!!

Allison and Roxanne conspire to take Jessica’s money while eating a snack in the hospital cafeteria.  The plan is for Roxanne to go to the ER complaining of dizziness, so her name can be on file in the computer system.  Roxanne is to start out with dizziness and gradually add symptoms until she is acting as though she is dying.

Comic Relief:

Roxanne and Allison discuss the good-looking doctors in the hospital cafeteria.

Roxanne:  “Check that one out.  Nice buns.  I wonder if he makes house calls.”
