Hi gang!  Hope everyone had a great holiday, and best wishes to you 

all in 1996!

Things are cooking in Bay City.  Carl cheats death; Vicky gets a 

dinner and a surprise; Grant is worried that Carl will recover 

completely; Maggie and Raphael exchange barbs; John & Felicia promise 

never to have sex again (yeah, right);  Matt & Jake hit a snag when 

Jake shamelessly exploits a family situation. Courtney is in danger.

Maggie & Rafael:   Maggie asks what kind of kidnapper carries a gun 

with no bullets in it.  Rafael threatens to send her ear to her family 

and ties her up again. Maggie thinks someone else is involved.  You'll 

take the fall, she says, for your "bosses".  Raphael admits he's 

working for someone, and that he's never done this before, but he'll 

do whatever it takes to finish the job. 

	Later, Raphael is doing push-ups to stay awake.  [shirt off, 

of course, so we can get a look at the pecs]  Maggie yawns and says 

that unless he lets her lie down for a sleep, she's going to yak all 

night long. He lets her lie down, but says he's going to watch her.  

Maggie can't sleep now.  She's disappointed that he only asked a 

million $ for her.  He doesn't buy her Poor Little Rich Girl routine. 

 She couldn't handle being poor for five minutes.  Maggie wonders if 

he'd like her in different circumstances.  Raphael says she's okay, 

but she talks too much.  Maggie turns over to go to sleep.
	When he falls asleep in the chair, she offers him half of the 

bed, but he declines.  She is insulted.

Harbor Club: Vicky is telling Grant about her problems with Stephen.  

She is upset about Stephen smashing Ryan's picture.  Grant is not 

paying much attention and he excuses himself to call the hospital 

about Carl.  He can't get any info and looks worried.  Vicky asks him 

who he called, but he puts her off.  Vicky says he's really been there 

for her and the boys, so she wants to help if she can.  Grant tells 

her it's nothing.  


Hospital:  Carl is in heart failure.  Full code blue.  They get a 

heart beat, finally, but he has a seizure of some kind.  John is 

thoroughly baffled.  John is conducting some tests for Carl's mystery 

ailment.  Carl wakes long enough to ask Rachel to get Victoria.
	Felicia goes into John's office and she fantasizes that John 

says they belong together, despite Sharlene, or Gregory.  He wants to 

spend the rest of his life with her.  Instead, she looks at pictures 

of Sharlene, and Gregory, and feels very guilty.

Harbor Club:  Vicky & Grant have finished dinner.  Vicky shares her 

chocolate dessert with Grant (EEEWWWW).  He tries to convince her to 

go with him to Florida.  Vicky gets a phone call from Rachel to come 

to the hospital.  Grant looks harried.

Cory Manse: A tap is put on the Cory phone. Cass and Cecile discuss 

how to get the money.  Cass says Rachel will give her the money for 

Maggie's sake, but Cecile is skeptical.  Cass wonders if Ceciles bogus 

jewel sale might have caused this kidnapping.  Cecile thinks that 

might have happened. Frankie arrives with no news whatsoever.  Cecile 

is very worried [hah!].

Morgan's Apt: Morgan & Courtney are cuddling.  Morgan asks her if she 

keeps her eyes open when they kiss because she's afraid.  She says 

yes.  He says when they finally make love they'll blow the roof off 

the building [heh heh heh].  Morgan gets a call to go to the hospital. 

 Andrew shows up (of course).  He calls her from the lobby, but says 

nothing.  She gets nervous and bolts the door.

Carlinos:  Paulina meets Blair Baker who is having dinner with Matt.  

Before he can divulge too much about his failed marriage, Paulina 

tells Matt they've got to get to the hospital to see about Carl.  Jake 

moves in and sits with Blair.  Blair asks about the 'crime beat' at 

the paper and denies any romantic interest in the boys in blue.  

"They're losers."  But you need an insider with the police to get the 

real news.
	Jake buys some drinks for the cops at the bar, who mention 

Maggie's kidnapping.

Hospital:  Grant, Vicky, Matt & Paulina all arrive at the same time.  

They go in to see Carl.  Grant hangs back to ask John if it's 

critical.  John says it is.  And it's a mystery.  He's running some 

tests to find out what caused the seizure.  Grant is surprised and 

disappointed that Carl is still alive.  He looks desperate.
	Morgan arrives at the hospital.  He's happy about John being 

back, and still bitter about Cass and the lawsuit.  John says it is 

time they moved on with their lives.
	Felicia is waiting for John in his office.  She says she wants 

to make up for what she's done, to make amends with Sharlene--tell her 

that it was all her (Felicia's) fault.  John says that would be a lie. 

 They were consenting adults who wanted each other, and who still want 

each other.  They realize they can't act on those feelings.  John 

twists the knife a little by saying how hard it was to tell Gregory 

that daddy and mommy won't be living together.  The phone rings and 

John must go to get Carl's test results--but he kisses Felicia's cheek 

before he goes. [boy, Not Having an Affair is almost as much fun as 

the real thing!] 

	Courtney arrives at the hospital, desperate that Andrew is 

after her.  Morgan tells her to go to the lounge and wait.
	Morgan checks Carl's condition.

Cory Manse:  Matt tells Cecile that getting Maggie home safe is as 

important as Carl.  Matt says he'll get the money from Rachel for 

Maggie.  Jake arrives, wanting to help.  It soon becomes clear that 

Jake wants a scoop for The Herald.  Matt is angry that Jake is 

exploiting Maggie, and give's him the bum's rush out the door.  Jake 

only pretends to leave, but produces a mini camera and starts snapping 

pictures.  He gets one of Cass and Cecile in a suspicious clinch.  

Jake tells Barry to "stop the presses".

Hospital:  John tells Rachel all the tests are either negative or 

inconclusive.  He'll have to run more.
	Vicky tells Carl he'll have to hang in there.  Carl manages to 

tell Vicky, "Grant killed Ryan."  FREEZE FRAME.

Line of the day:  Goes to Maggie after Raphael admits he's never done 

this before.

Maggie:  You mean I'm your first?  A virgin kidnapper!
