I dedicate this update in the memory of Frankie and to the fine actress who
has graced our lives these last years........Alice Barrett

Note: The opening has been changed.
They have added Robert(twice), and it includes an additional scene with  
Jenson.

Location:  Sophia's hospital room -  Paulina and Sophia
        A depressed Sophia is agonizing about the wedding between Nick and
Maggie.  Paulina supports her by acknowleding that Nick didn't really want to
go through with the marriage - Sophia, wanting to get on with her life is
looking forward to getting out of the hospital.

Location:  "Nick" and Maggie's new apt from Rachel and Carl - bedroom
        Opens with a seductive Maggie lounging on white satin sheets,
candles and flowers in the room - wearing a silk nightgown.  Nick stands in
the doorway.
Maggie, wearing frosted lipstick, invites Nick to the bed, telling him there is
so much room "here with your wife", why should he sleep on the sofa.  Nick  
steps
towards the bed, bends down as she reaches up, lips now inches apart, and
Nick says, Goodnight Maggie, grabs the covers and throws them on top of her
and heads to the door...

Location:   Carlino's Restaurant -  Felicia and Cass dining, Joe working
        Opens with Cass and Felicia discussing the marriage between Nick and
Maggie, that Nick does't love Maggie and he only married her for the baby.
Cass is worried that Maggie is going to get hurt, Joe overhears and lights
into Cass because Maggie caused the damage - Sophia in the hospital - Cass
and Joe get in each others faces, arguing about the Maggie/Nick/Sophia
triangle - - - Joe, "Sophia is lucky to be alive."

Location:    Frankie's car-outside the Winthrop home, - Frankie with stalker
lurking in the bushes.
        Frankie, not saying anything, holds the gold chain and senses the
danger.  Eerie, airy, thriller type background noise plays in the
background.  We see the stalker watching her. Frankie realizes something is
wrong, gets out of the car and heads to the house.  The stalker follows.

Opening Segment...................

Location:  Cory mansion  -   Matt and Rachel
        Discussion of the bridal shower.  Odd comment by Rachel "we will all
live forever."  Looks for Carl and then finds a note that he has gone to
Chicago and will call her later.  Rachel, "I am married to a very mysterious
man, would you like a drink?"   Matt pours her a brandy as she talks about
not sleeping well when Carl is not with her.  Matt questions if she is
happy.  She smiles and says she is "Blissfully happy"..."married to an
interesting man and have aloving family."   Matt probes by commenting it
might be Cory business - Rachel agrees and is glad its him and not her,
considering the wedding and the shower all in one day.   Rachel comments it
would have been good if Matt had stayed for the ceremony to show family
unity - support for Maggie but Matt couldn't find himself mustering any
happiness, Rachel admonishes him that the day wasn't for him but for Maggie.
Rachel, a bit disgusted, heads out for a walk.  Matt cautions it is going to
rain - Rachel - "I don't melt."

After she leaves, Matt looks over the note from Carl and considers the
possibilities....

Location:  Maggie and Nick's Apt.   -  Maggie and Nick
        Maggie jumps up and grabs Nick - "don't go!".  Nick thought she
understood this was not a real marriage, he only did it for the baby.  He
tells her to stop the seduction, no more!  Maggie, admits she wants him and
tried to seduce him because she loves him.  She brings up how he wanted her
when he first came to town and then again in the barn.  Nick, angry, battles
back noting he didn't know the real Maggie in the beginning, and as for the
time in the barn, it was to be a one-time, no strings, fling - Now, he is
stuck with the marriage and has to have a baby, not at all what he thought.
Not to mention Sophia almost died.  Maggie responds that things arent the
way she wants them either.  I love you, she continues, only wants "one time"
to show him how much....

Location:  Carlinos Restaurant - Cass, Joe and Felicia
        Cass and Joe are in each others face.   Felicia breaks the two
apart.  She tells them the girls both need their support.  They agree to
calm down as she leaves to make a phone call.  They apologize to each other.
They find out they really agree with each other and start to rag on Nick
together.  Felicia returns finding the guys ok.  Chit-chat about Paulina and
Dante - the trip to Italy which brings up Cass and Frankie's 2nd honeymoon.
Cass looks forward to private time with his wife, she works hard and
deserves it.  FADE TO FRANKIE

Location:  Winthop's house  -  Frankie
        Storming, thunder and very eerie, Frankie calls the operator
requesting a patrol car.  Because she has nothing specific to report they
say they can't help her.  Maybe a prowler, but wasn't sure.  Hangs up.  She
starts to clean up the shower dishes but stops, knowing something is not
right, she calls Cass at Carlinos.....Joe answers and puts Cass on the
phone. "Hey beautiful." F- "Cass, somethings wrong." C-"What happened?"  F-
"Nothing, I got in the car, on my way to pick up Charlie and...."(Voice
noticably shaky) C-"Where are you now?" F-
"Home, something is terribly wrong" C - "I am glad you didn't drive." F - "I
am afraid something is going to happen here." C - "Is this a feeling or
premonition?"  F- "I don't know....Cass, come home. Please come home." C-
"Stay put, I'll be right there." F- "I love you, I love Charlie."  C- "Well
honey, we love you too, come on, everything is going to ba alright.Lock
everything up and stay inside, I'm on my way."...

Location:  Carlino's  -  Joe, Felicia and Cass
        Joe and Felicia want to know what is wrong.  Cass explains how
afraid she is so Joe is afraid too and goes with Cass.  Felicia remains at
Carlino's in case Frankie calls back.

Location:  Winthrop's -   Frankie 

        Not sure what to do, Frankie moves some things around the room,
touches her channeling triangle and lights a candle.  Deep sadness is in her
eyes, while the light from the candle illuminates her face, she is noticably
shaken and then hears a noise in the back.   Her breathing becomes heavy as
she decides what to do.   Moving carefully across the room, she reaches into
a cabinet, grabs her gun and loads a bullet.  Just as she is finished, the
"Muffin Man" tune is whistled, announcing the entrance of the stalker.   She
runs behind a shelf and hides, holding her gun.  A tall dark showdow
appears, heads to the candle and extinguishes it.  Frankie begins to panic,
sensing the real and present danger she is in.  She move towards the front
door, as she leaves, she turns her channeling triangle face down.   Outside,
focussing on the Illinois license plate, MFF1, we see water dripping under
her car.  Frankie, unknowing, speeds away......

Location:  Nick and Maggie's Apt - Nick and Maggie
        Maggie tells Nick she will wait for him to love her.  He explains it
does't work that way.  Maggie brings up Ceceile and her multiple loves...
Maggie tries to block Nick in, he resists and  screams how he still loves
Sophia, he thought marrying Maggie was the right thing but now he sees it
was a mistake, a big mistake.  Maggie fights back "Our baby is a mistake."
Nick, loosing control calls he and Maggie a train wreck and throws a vase of
flowers across the room.  He refuses to stay there and storms out.  Maggie
yells back, "tell Sophia I said hello!@!@!"

Location:  Sophia's hospital room  -  Paulina, Morgan and Sophia
        Paulina wants Sophia to come home and promises to take good care of  
her.
Sophia, depressed, Morgan wants her to cheer up because the depression is
bad on her recovery.  They invite Morgan to her birthday party.  Morgan
tries to let her know a lot lies ahead.  Sophia worries about the baby and
realizes its not all Nick's fault, and he deserves to be loved.  Paulina
tells her she deserves to be loved too.  The phone rings, Paulina answers
and its Maggie wanting to talk to Sophia.  Paulina hesitates but Sophia say
ok.  Maggie, tries to sound real up about the wedding but Sophia questions
why she is calling her on her wedding night.  Sophia sees through Maggie and
figures out that Nick must have left and Maggie was searching for him.
Maggie denies it but Sophia sees through her.  Sophia feels sorry for Maggie
but Maggie rants back that Nick married her, not Sophia.  Sophia hangs up
and Paulina is proud of her.  Sophia, crying, "why is she torturing me."
Paulina tries to support her and tells her she will trust again.  Life is
not black and white, discussing Paulina's trial with Jake.  Sophia feels
alone, comparing herself to Matt when he broke off with Donna.
Sophia is hurting, she still loves him.....crying and holding onto Paulina.

Location:  Bar  - Nick
        Orders a whiskey and a beer.  Raphael comes in and sees he is
drinking the hard stuff.  Wants to know where Maggie is, Nick, doesn't
care....Raphael 

watches his friend as Nick approaches a young blond and starts to flirt.

Location:  Winthrop's house
        Cass yells for Frankie, found the door unlocked, Joe says there was
no forced entry, Cass is worried, she wasn't supposed to leave.  Cass checks
and finds her gun gone.   Joe and Cass recap, has protection, hasn't called
the sitter(totally un like her), Joe calls the station and Cass wants an
APB.  Joe heads back to the station and will look for her.  He tells Cass to
wait and he will call him. Cass looking around, finds a card written for the
shower from Frankie, to Josie...trying to sense her presence with the card
in her own writing, Cass chants out loud with his eyes closed tight, "Where
are You??? 

Whereever you are I am with you."....looking around the room, he tries to
find a clue, what would she do, what sign would she leave.....he eyes the
channeling piramid------fear comes across his face.

Location:  Frankie's car - Frankie
        Car overheats, she tries to restart it but it won't turnover.  She
opens the hood and finds the radiator hose cut - she runs to the trunk, as
she opens it, the headlights of the stalkers car come into view, she runs
back to the front of the car with gun in hand.  "Muffin Man" walks towards
her, she jumps out and holds the gun on him - "STOP" - whistling stops -
"Who the hell are you and what do you want?.....I asked you a question, I'll
shoot and I won't miss."
He flashed the light in her eyes, blinding her, jumps towards her and they
struggle for the gun.  Swing around the car, blows are swinging and she gets
a couple of good hits in ... he holds her from behind and she elbows him to
get loose and then knees him in the groin, kicks at the gun - grabs the tire
iron from the trunk and slams him a couple of times with it.  They struggle
over the iron, he throws her to the ground and drags her by her feet.  He
pins her down and hits her in the face.  He attempts to choke her and she
struggles away, racing through the woods with one last hit of the tire iron
in his side to slow him down.........
                 Rachel in the nearby woods, thinks she hears something,(we
know it is Frankie.)  Matt comes up behind Rachel and startles her.  She
asked if he heard what she thought was somebody screaming.  He didn't hear
it and though it may have been a dog.  he brought her a coat and umbrella.
Again, Rachel thought she heard a noise.  Matt apologizes about the
arguement and Rachel understands because it reminds him of what he went
through with Donna.  A discussion of not being able to trust anymore, on
that kind of level.  Rachel compares herself to Maggie and she remembers how
she tried to get Russ Matthews, because he was from a good family, etc.,
regardeless of who it hurt.  I was a disaster and she couldn't condemn
Maggie.  They keep on walking....

Location:   Bar - Nick and Kim(girl he was flirting with)
        Nick asks her if she wants to have a seriously good time - she
agrees and goes to call her roommate.  Meanwhile, raphael questions Nick -

orders more to drink and Raphael, discusted, walks away.  Nick starts to
dance with Kim.

        Cass tells them something has happened to her, the gun is gone, the
house was open, and the channelling pyramid was knocked down.  Felicia asks
about Charlie and he had checked with the sitter and Charlie is OK.  Cass
already knows things are wrong.  Joe calls, tells him the body at the docks
was NOT Frankie.  No news about Frankie........
                                Frankie runs into the Cory icehouse and
tries to block herself in.  She looks for something but is now trapped.  The
stalker enters and throws her to the ground.  She is bleeding on her face
but she gets up and realizing the inevitable says -"Now what....you kill

have you killed so far, three, right, proud of yourself,....(cut to a tall
man with a black stocking over his head and a black sweater).....do you feel
like a man, do you......"
She screams and lunges towards him to pull off the stocking.  "Crying with the
realization of who it is, she cries out in horror, "Its YOU...Why, you
killed Courtney, why!!!!????!!!!" (pain, fear, tears and blood all over her
face).
"You need help, let us help you, please." falling apart even more "I beg of

                                Rachel and Matt are walking outside in the
