AW: July 22, 1996

An exciting day in old BC!

Park [I think]: Nick proposes marriage to Sofia. Sofia says she
will, but Nick is remembering Maggie telling him that
Sofia deserves to know about the little "hay ride" they
shared.  Nick gives Sofia a ring.  They kiss. Nick
tells Sofia that the ring was his Grandmother's
(Clare's). She fantasizes about a big church wedding,
but says she doesn't need any of that.  She has
everything she wants. They decide to elope. She wants things 

simple, and after all it's their decision. Nick wants to go to Joe
and asks for Sofia's hand. They'll tell Joe right now,
she says, before they elope.

Jake's Apt: Vicky is bored.  She suddenly gets a
craving for sushi.

Restaurant:  Jake just happens to be in a sushi bar
with Babs the real estate lady.  Babs orders in
Japanese, and Jake is embarrassed after bragging about
sushi in Japan. Jake is impressed with Babs and he
tells her so. They discuss Vicky's house needs, and the
lady offers to show Jake her own place with her state
of the art security system (yeah, RIGHT).
     Vicky arrives to order sushi to go. (what no
phone?)  Babs sees her and immediately puts the move on
Jake. Jake sees Vicky and says he can't join Babs in
the hot tub. Babs disappears after telling Jake he has
a thing for Vicky. Vicky wants to know what Jake did to
turn Babs off, but Jake tells her that Babs is jealous
of Vicky.  Vicky gets angry, her attempt to set Jake &
Babs up has failed.

Courtyard at BCGH: Lorna is fighting off the attacker. 

She breaks away and blows the whistle that Gabe gave
her.  She tries to escape, but he attacks her again. 

Suddenly he is gone.  Joe is there.  Then Gabe.  Joe
takes off after the attacker.  Lorna can't really
describe the attacker except to say he was six feet
tall.  She is very upset.  Gabe takes her to the
hospital.  Joe reports there is no sign of the guy.

John's office: John is upset that Sharlene is seeing
Grant.  He's afraid that Greg will be bamboozled by
Grant's flashy treatment.  Felicia tires to underplay
it, saying she's doing the same thing.  You can't
shield your kids from everything, she tells John.  Greg
will be fine.  John is sceptical.  He receives a call
about Lorna's attack.

BCGH-ER: Gabe promises Lorna they will catch the guy. 

Felicia arrives to find out that Lorna is okay.  John
wants her to stay overnight in the hospital.  Gabe
thinks Lorna should have a "permanent house guest". 

Gabe offers to move in with her.  She's pleased, and so
is Felicia.

Street: Joe is looking around the alleyways.  The
stalker is watching from behind some packing crates.
[the Keystone Cops are at it again!]

Later, at BCPD, Joe works a computer which is trying to
decipher the voices on Courtney's tape.  It is a man's
voice, saying "So much and so...."  Chris Madison
arrives looking for the scoop on Lorna's attack.  Gabe
arrives and tells the press to get lost.  The
commissioner gets on Gabe's case, and Gabe tells him
off as well. 

     Sofia & Nick arrive to tell Joe about their
marriage plans. Joe is too busy to listen.  As long as
it's nothing bad, it can wait. We'll tell Tony, Sofia
says.
     The commissioner is still after Gabe.  Gabe says
the cops will stop this guy, no matter what it takes. 

He also says that "Cindy" will have to wait.  He can't
return her calls right now.
Lorna's attack was not a robbery, Joe says, but there
is no proof it was the stalker.  How does Lorna fit
into this, Gabe wonders.

Carlino's: Tony is too busy to listen to Nick & Sofia. 

They're eloping--she writes Joe a note.  Nick wants to
stop & get dressed up.  She has the dress Maggie loaned
her.  Nick says he'll get the car, somewhere.  The note
is left on the table.

Jake's Apt:  Vicky wants to know how Jake felt about
Babs.  What's not to dig.  That's great, Vicky says. 

Vicky remembers that the boys are at the Cory's--
they'll have to discuss a new nanny. They're all alone
in the apartment. [note to TPTB: NOT YET!!! it's TOO FAST]
Vicky says goodnight, but Jake calls her back. He really 

wants to help getting her a new house, he says. But he doesn't
want Babs to think he and Vicky have anything more than
friendship...they get THISCLOSE then Vicky goes to her
bedroom.  Jake feels like a complete bonehead.  He
called Vicky "little buddy". Doh! 


Street: Sofia is on the phone outside the police
station. She's calling for a priest to marry her and
Nick, but he's away on retreat.  Nick arrives. Neither
the young hip priest or the head honcho priest is
available, Sofia says.  They'll find someone, he says.

Jake's Apt: Jake is in bed (sans shirt on satin sheets
help me lord) He can't sleep.  Vicky is in bed, too. 

She can't sleep either. (shades of Doris Day and Rock
Hudson)

Hospital: Felicia is in Lorna's hospital room. John
comes in and listens to Felicia's sappy bedtime story
about a prettyiest little girls-wirlsy and loveliest ever
tikettyboo thunderstormsie.  John leaves [probably to
find buckety-wuckety for his lunchy-wunchie]  Lorna is
resting quietly. [I dunno how Robin C kept a straight
face during this scene] Felicia puts the gold chain on
the night stand. She covers it with a hanky.  Gabe
arrives.  Felicia leaves. 

     Lorna shows him the whistle.  "It saved my life",
she says. They kiss. FREEZE FRAME.
