Michael/John:

John notices Michael's swollen glands and weight loss.  Michael breaks  
down
just as John guesses he is suffering from Leukemia.  Michael admits to 

waiting till he was feeling better to return to Bay City.  John offers  
him
help, which Michael refuses.  He demands John not tell Nick or Vicky  
about
his illness.  John reads Michael's medical file and they discuss a bone  
marrow
transplant.  John is upset that Michael didn't turn to his family for a
donation.  Michael explains that the procedure is too risky to ask a  
family
member for their help...even if it will save his life.  John reminds  
Michael
how when he was Missing In Action in Vietnam, Michael found him and  
brought
him home.  Therefore, the incredible life John is living today is a  
result
of Michael helping him.  John tells him that he will get tested for 

compatibility or find him a suitable donor.



Maggie/Thomas/Nick:

Maggie and Thomas grow closer after their night of love-making.  While  
they
are kissing, Nick slips into Cory Manor.  He finds some photographs, 

presumably of Maggie, and takes one.  Maggie notices someone's presence  
and
Nick enters the room.  He tells her that he needs money because he is  
leaving
town.  Maggie wonders why Nick didn't steal something from Michael's  
house
to hawk for quick cash.  Nick mentions that his father is a world class  
liar
and that he can't trust him.  


They continue to talk and Mags admits to caring for him.  Nick reveals  
the 

picture of her that he was taking with him.  Maggie gives him a wad of  
money.
Nick tells her that the reason she and Thomas made love tonight was so  
Maggie
could forget about him.  Maggie slaps Nick, but the closer he gets, the  
more 

she is drawn to him.

Back at the farm, Thomas is dancing around the room.  Josie notices his  
good
mood and Thomas tells her that his life is finally working out.



Ryan/ Lorna/ Morgan:

Ryan questions Lorna about visitors she has had recently.  She names  
off:
Grant, Felicia, Morgan, and Rachel.  Ryan is particularly interested in
Rachel's visits.  Lorna says that the only thing she has that anyone  
would
want is Grant.  Lorna makes her way to Morgan's office to thank him for
saving her life.  Noticing his non-chalent attitude, Lorna asks Morgan  
if his
world is better off without her.  She also tells him that her and Grant  
are
through.  Morgan admits to caring for Lorna but goes no further.  Lorna  
is
upset.



Rachel/ Ryan:

Rachel frantically searches the house for Carl.  Ryan pops by and is  
surprised
to hear that Carl was suddenly called away.  He lies to Rachel telling  
her that
Carl had to leave on business.  Rachel questions why Carl left so  
abruptly
without telling her.  Ryan asks to see the note Carl left Rachel but  
she 

refuses to show it to him.  When Rachel asks the reason for Ryan's  
visit, he
says it was to keep Carl posted on Lorna's condition.  


Rachel accidentally drops some messages and when Ryan picks them up, he
discovers a pill on the floor.  He puts it in his pocket and makes a
beeline for the door.  Ryan advises Rachel take a sleeping pill to help  
her
sleep through the night and she states that she "never takes pills".  
Ahah!!
The phone rings, and Rachel is disappointed to learn it is for Maggie.  

Michael is looking for Nick but Maggie offers no information.  


Meanwhile, John notices that his truck is stolen.  The show ends with  
Nick
being oulled over by the cops for speeding.


Well, that's it!  A pretty revealing episode today.
