AROUND CARLINO'S:

Sofia thanks Nick for buying up all the copies of the Herald around 

town.  Even though she can't forgive him for what he did in the barn,  
he's 

still been a good friend.  Sofia accepts Nick's offer to give her a  
ride 

home after work. 


Inside Carlino's, we learn that Rafael is the one who found the body.  

Felicia and Lorna are also there having dinner.  Felicia is talking  
about 

how pre-occupied John has been lately when Sharlene and Michael enter  
the 

restaurant.  


Sofia wonders how the picture of her got in the paper if the  
photographer 

didn't send it.  



THE INVESTIGATION:

A lady named Doris Winston visits Gabe with information that Courtney's 

death was indeed murder.  Because the fog was so thick that night,  
Doris 

didn't see anything, but heard a woman scream twice....at 9:04pm.   
After 

she leaves, Gabe shows O'Leary Courtney's watch....it had stopped  
running 

at 9:04pm.  The police are also looking for a gymbag Courtney was 

carrying that night. 


At Cass', Maggie is surprised when hearing of Courtney's death.  Morgan  
is 

visibly shaken and is spending the night there.  Frankie and Maggie get 

into an argument about Maggie not carrying her weight around the house.  

Maggie leaves the house saying "no one tells me what to do".  Later on, 

Frankie realizes that Maggie is gone and goes out after her.   
Meanwhile, 

Cass and Morgan talk.  He can't believe Courtney is gone.


BACK AT CARLINO'S:

Maggie shows up at Carlino's.  Rafael lets on that he knows she sent  
the 

picture of Sofia to the Herald.  He also rubs it in that Maggie's plan  
to 

get Nick away from Sofia has backfired.  Frankie comes in and drags 

Maggie back home.  


Sharlene tells Michael that with all that happened tonight, her  
concerns 

with Felicia seem very insignificant.  Sharlene admits that she might  
have 

slept with Michael in part to get back at John.  Michael excuses  
himself and 

goes to see John at the hospital.


AT THE HOSPITAL:

John has just gotten back from seeing Gabe.  He wants something done to 

stop all the fear that is being spread because of articles in the 

Herald.  Gabe says there is nothing he can do to stop Jake from 

publishing trash news reports.  Gabe reveals in confidence that 

Courtney's death was no accident.  


Michael offers to pay for beefed up security around the hospital.  John 

thanks him for his grand gesture but reminds Michael that it won't  
change 

things between them.


FINAL SCENE:

Gabe calls Morgan to say that the coroner has ruled out suicide.   
Morgan 

wonders who could have done this to Courtney.  The mystery person is  
then 

seen throwing a copy of the Herald in a locker (like at a bus station) 

and taking the key.  The headline read:  DEATH STALKS BAY CITY.


That's it!
