At Wallingford's, Frankie looks at a book on Infant Care.  Cass  
surprises 

Frankie with an infant gown for the new baby.  Cass wonders if  
Frankie's 

vibes might have been about Josie's attack and not about Vicky.  At  
home, 

Frankie tells Cass she feels bad that some of their friends are alone 

(like Felicia) and they agree about how lucky they are.  To lift her 

spirits, the "Great Cassio" tells her future - he sees a father,  
mother, 

a girl, and a newborn."  When Frankie says she wishes for another girl, 

Cass responds by saying that "3 girls would melt his heart".  Frankie 

complains of stomach pains, but passes them off on the burrito she ate 

for lunch.

Michael, Donna, and Nick visit Ryan.  Michael and Donna "bicker" about  
him
being out of the hospital and open to infection.  Michael talks to Nick
about how close he (Nick) and Vicky have become.  When Donna tells  
Michael
that his lack of immune system coupled with his being out of the  
hospital
affects her, Michael is flabergasted and replies: "it's always about  
you 

and how you are affected".  Moments later, in typical Michael and Donna 

fashion, they hold hands, much to the disappointment of Matt (who just 

walked in).  When Michael suggests that maybe Vicky was kidnapped for a 

ransom, Nick goes home to check the machine (seeing as no one has been  
at 

the farm lately...they may have missed the call).  When Donna asks Matt 

to go home and check their machine, he reluctantly agrees. Ryan tells 

Michael to go home in case a call comes in.  When Matt tells Donna that 

he will call her at Michael's, she asks him not to, as it would tie up 

the line and Clara doesn't have call waiting (Ouch Matt!!).  When Ryan 

tells Matt to go with Donna, he replies by saying that he doesn't think 

Donna will miss him.

Jake gives Grant 5 minutes to tell him where Vicky is.  He then  
proceeds
to review Justine's offenses: causing Spencer's coma, poisoning Lorna, 

kidnapping Rachel...(this was classic Jake!!!).  Justine shows up  
outside 

Grant's apartment vacuuming and dressed as a maid.  Jake reassures  
Grant 

that all accusations, false or not, point to Grant, and reminds him  
that 

his "daddy days" are numbered.  When Jake leaves, Grant calls Ryan to 

tell him to get Jake off his back and to get rid of the bodyguard.   
josie 

visits Gary at his post outside Grant's door.  They decide to "visit"  
the 

closet across the hall and congratulate themselves afterward b/c no one 

saw them.  Meanwhie, Grant calls to Amy (the babysitter) that he is  
going 

to take a nap and asks her to watch Kirk - he then leaves.  Thinking 

Grant is still there, Amy leaves, citing that she can no longer work in 

these conditions (all the screaming, arguments, stressors) and leaves  
her 

notice as she exits.  justine enters and takes Kirkland.  Gary arrives 

back at his post and calls the police station confirming that  
everything 

is "ok" at his position.  At Justine's, Grant rushes in calling for 

"Mother" (how very Psycho-esque!!).

Vixky continutes to dig.  She hallucinates that Ryan comes to her to  
tell 

her not to give up, that people are waiting for her.  She pleads for  
him 

to take her back with him, saying she should have kept her nose out of 

this whole mess like he told her to - they embrace.  When she comes to, 

she hears Kirkland crying and is inspired to get out of there.  Justine 

comes in and finds Grant sleeping (he had found his old bear when he 

first came in) - he wakes up and just stares at her.

At the hospital, Laurie runs back in with Ben.  The intern that almost
over-medicated Ben (her name escapes me) tries to get Laurie to wait  
for a
doctor's diagnosis, saying that she will not speculate on Ben's  
condition. 

Once stabalized, John tells her that Ben couldn't breathe b/c of his
athsma.  Hearing a Code Blue over the PA, John rushes into the ER and 

they ddesparately try to revive Ben.  Laurie, obviously shocked, stares  
a 

his flat heart rate monitor. Not being able to revive him, John  
consoles 

Laurie (and someone better console John for the impeding hosp law suit 

she will file!!!).  It was a sad ending!!

That's all to report!
