At COURTNEY'S:

Morgan goes back with Courtney to her apt to pick up some medical books.  

She spots a note from Andrew and get Morgan out of the room.  Andrew 

promises to get some help and asks for her forgiveness, saying it would 

never happen again.  morgan tries to convince her to go to the hopsital 

gala, but she declines, citing her bruises and cuts are visible.  Morgan 

starts to leave, and Courtney makes a call to Gary asking that all 

charges against Andrew be dropped, clinging to Andrew's word that he 

won't do it again.


At the POLICE STATION:

Cass pleads with Gabe that there is no case against Laurie, only 

circumstantial evidence.  Joe walks in and claims to have the evidence 

that will prove that she is guilty.  Frankie looks sadly at Cass.  Joe 

explains that a toy found in her apartment can link her to the threats.  

Cass is shocked to learn that Frankie was involved in seaching Laurie's 

apartment.  He feels that by doing this, so is not supporting him, but 

rather is acting against him.  Frankie asks Cass what more evidence does 

he need?  She tries to convince him that their friends and innocent 

people would be hurt if the threats continued.  She also expresses that 

Laurie is taking a personal interest in Cass, that it is no longer 

professional on her part.  Joe shows a voice changer that looks like a 

toy.  Cass threatens to have it deemed inadmissible b/c Frankie was 

involved in the search (unauthorized involvement).  Cass takes Laurie 

aside and asks her point blank if she made the threats, telling her that 

innocent children could have been hurt by a bomb.  She breaks down and 

tells Cass that she made the threats, but the bomb was just a hoax.  They 

talk to Dana, who asks Laurie why she made the threats.  She tells them 

that she couldn't stand the thought of everyone celebrating - literally 

dancing on Ben's grave.  She cries that they (the hospital) took her baby.


At the HOSPITAL:

Vicky and Jake arrive at the hospital and demand to know where Stephen 

is.  Justine, dressed as a nun, sets the timer on the bomb before giving 

Stephen his remote controlled car.  Vicky wants to take the kids to 

Lassider in an attempt to protect them from Justine [like that wouldn't 

be the first place she would look for them!!].  Vicky is scared b/c she 

can't really protect her kids from Justine's assaults.  She then decides 

to look for Justine herself.  Jake sees Paulina, who is obviously nervous 

by his presence.  Jake tells her he misses everything about her, and 

lists some of the things that they would regularly do that he misses.  He 

draws in close and asks her to kiss him...she then faints!  He offers her 

some water, but she attributes the fainting to stress.  She asks him why 

he hasn't signed the divorce papers.  He responds that signing them would 

make everything seem so final.


At GRANT'S:

Carl demands that Grant continue with their chess game, anticipating that 

Justine will show up eventually.  Grant knocks the pieces off the board.  

Carl shows Grant a piece of folded paper which he lifted from Grant's 

desk, which he claims can prove that Grant shot Ryan.  Rachel then shows 

up and asks Carl if he took the gun when he left the house.  Admitting 

that did not take the gun, they conclude that Vicky must have taken it.


Back at the HOSPITAL

Donna tells Matt that she hasn't been completely honest with him, and 

tells him that she found Michael in the barn on the night of their 

planned wedding and things got out of hand.  Vicky rushes in and brings 

Stephen to Donna, saying that she has to go find Kirk.  Stephen runs to 

get his car.  Vicky finds Michael with Kirk and says what a shame it is 

that Vicky can't be there for the dedication to Ryan.  Vicky thinks that 

Ryan would have wanted them to be safe.  Vicky asks if Michael would read 

a speech that she wrote for the dedication.  Michael asks Vicky what she 

plans to do if Justine follows her out of town.  She asks what Michael 

would do.  With great certainty, he replies that he would kill her.  

Vicky gives him a knowing look.  They leave, Stephen once again running 

back for his car, as Justine looks on from behind a corner [nice hook!!].

joe finds Paulina and gives her a corsage.  Grant stops by the hospital 

and asks if Paulina has seen Vicky.  Finding out that Kirk is there, he 

goes looking for him.  Trapped in the elevator, Justine calls and taunts 

Vicky.  Vicky lets her know that she has a gun.  Justine tells her that 

she has severed all connections with the hospital and with the world, 

saying that no one will find Vicky and the kids.  Justine states that she 

wants Kirk.  Vicky promises that that will never happen, and calls her 

insane.  She alerts Vicky to the bomb, and suggests that she will make it 

go off earlier b/c of Vicky's mouth.


ENDING:

Just as Justine is about to set the bomb off, Grant cries, "Mother!". 



What will happen next???
