CAPRICORN: THE PRENATAL CUSTODY BATTLE!

RJ and Troy continue their game of "Show Me Your Blackmail, I'll Give You Mine". Troy smirks at RJ's threat to expose Troy and Lindsay's "affair". He tells RJ, "You think I'm sleeping with Lindsay?" RJ tells him that he knows it to be a fact. Lindsay told him herself. Troy tells RJ that Lindsay is a liar, and unless he can prove it, he would do wise to worry about his own little secret. RJ takes a stab in the dark, telling Troy that if it's not true, then he may as well go on over to Nora and tell her what Lindsay said, just so they can all have a good laugh.

Flash over to the gallery, Lindsay and Nora are still showing their claws. Lindsay tells Nora that she was expecting a man who's handsome, good, considerate, and very gentle. Nora don's the look of Maalox and tells her that at least the man is human by description. She tells Lindsay that she isn't interested in Lindsay's games, she needs to know where Jen is, and she's not leaving until Lindsay tells her or Jen shows up.

Lindsay continues to do her Superbroom Act, taunting Nora with open-ended suggestions to a secret she has over Nora, then tells Nora that she isn't the only one who can have a good man, there are others out there.

Nora is frustrated with her, and she tells Lindsay that she can get back to whatever it is she was doing. She apologizes for wasting both hers and Lindsay's time by believing that Lindsay gave a damn about her daughter. She leaves, but realizes that she is too ticked off by Lindsay's taunting, and she turns around and heads back inside to drop a little bomb on Lindsay.

She tells Lindsay that she realizes that Lindsay is terribly troubled by the fact that she and Troy are happily engaged, but she has to get over it. She further warns her that she and Troy WILL get married, and Lindsay will have to settle for the escort service that she hired for the evening to continue to provide excerpts of anything that even remotely resembles love.

With that she leaves.

Back over at Capricorn, Nora has arrived, magically transformed into a formal evening gown and she's mingling with Hank and Carlotta.

(I could have sworn that I heard Cinderella's Fairy Godmother singing "Bibbety-Bobbety-Boo" in the background!)

Antonio and Liz are still boxing it out about the baby, and as RJ and Troy are still slugging it out over Nora and the Lindsay's jailbreak. All things come to a halt as Keri doubles over in pain. Keri is rushed to the hospital where Troy tells her that she has a minor tear in her amniotic sac and although it's not an uncommon condition, Keri is to stay in bed and avoid stress, at any level.

Liz chimes in and asks Troy if emotional stress is included in those orders, and Troy says definitely. Liz gives Antonio a "Did you hear that?" look, and Antonio returns it with a look of his own that says, "This isn't over."

LOONVIEW TEEN BEAT: THE DEVIL & THE DITZ!

Story A:

Mitch and Jen meet and Jen instantly starts to discuss The Sun's expose. She tells Mitch that she can't believe how she so easily fooled Judge Fitzwater, and how everything worked out according to plan. She asks Mitch how he does it. How does he make people do exactly what he wants them to do?

Mitch is not tuned into to her rambling, he's still seething from being outsmarted back at the Mill House. He turns to her and tells her that he has never had the displeasure of doing business with a:

(Be patient, I want to get this right, people!)

Bumbling, idiotic, unthinking, dizzy, inefficient airhead such as herself!

(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....cough, cough. Choke. Tears. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha...)

Okay, it's over now.

Jen asks him if she's done something wrong. (DUUUUHHHHH??)

He snaps the newspaper article in front of her and asks her how on earth did she allow such a damaging thing to occur? He continues to tell her that he was the stupid one to entrust such a critical part of his plan to such a nincompoop to begin with, and as a result, a critical part of his plan has been destroyed.

Jen tells him that it's not ruined. They can easily blame Todd's paper by saying that it's false and she and Mitch never met. Mitch tells her to stop fooling herself by attempting to think. Jen tells him that he has to help her.
He turns his cold, evil stare on her and tells her that he doesn't HAVE to do anything. As a matter of fact, he says, she's becoming a liability. Jen is rattled, but her fear of facing all that she's due to face when everyone finds out what she's done is greater than her fear for Mitch.

She tells him that she's helped him, so he HAS to protect her! He calls her all sorts of names and then shouts to the top of his lungs....

"NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!"

Jen leaves.

Back in the prison, Natalie and Cris are discussing both the news article, and her encounter with Mitch at the Mill House. She tells Cris how terrified she is for him. Cris tells her that she has nothing to worry about, and she tells him what Mitch said to her about getting to him in prison.

They move on to discuss the news article, and at first, Cris has a hard time believing that Jen would do such a thing, but then he has flashbacks of the loft, where Jen and Mitch were together, and there were two champagne glasses present.

He says that he believes that something is going on and he is going to confront Jen. Natalie is opposed to the idea, but Cris manages to persuade her to let him talk to Jen when she comes. Speaking of the Devil, here she comes!

Natalie darted a look at Jen that would have vanquished her back to hell if looks could kill, then she leaves them alone after kissing Cristian. He and Jen stand face to face, and he asks her flat out...

"Is it true? Are you working with Mitch Lawrence?"

(DENY IT! I dare you, you, you wretched airhead!)

Sorry, folks, I was having a moment...

There, it's over. Tune in, tomorrow.
