AW Update--Monday Dec 5.  My second!  Comments on improvements
much appreciated...  Monday was one of those GREAT AW days...
Posting also to RATS.misc.  Sorry about the twice thing. Have
to learn how to cross-post. My comments in [].

Scenes:

1. The Farm:Angela/Tomas/Sharlene

     Angela arrives home with many expensive presents for Luisa. 

Tomas is surprised at the expense.  Sharlene comes in and agrees
with Tomas--Luisa does not need expensive toys to be happy. 

Sharlene and Tomas suggest they put the gifts away for Christmas,
but Angela insists Luisa have them now.  When she leaves,
Sharlene tells Tomas that Angela is trying to "buy" Luisa's love,
the same way she is "buying" Tomas's love through Luisa.  Tomas
tries to defend Angela, but Sharlene insists that Angela will
always take care of herself, and she (Sharlene) will take care of
Tomas, if no one else will.  She tells him he needs to be with
someone he loves, like Maggie.

2.  Cory Mansion: Rachel/Maggie

     Maggie arrives home and Rachel is sitting alone in the dark. 

She asks Rachel where Carl is...and Rachel tells her that he has
gone.  Maggie is upset that Rachel didn't try to stop him.  She
says she thought Rachel love Carl enough to forgive him anything.    


3.  Grant's house: Grant/Stupid stupid Amanda  


     Amanda is shocked that Rachel knew Carl caused the accident. 

Grant seems to "defend" Rachel, but he's slyly making Rachel look
guilty. Amanda thinks her mother is protecting her husband
because he means more to Rachel than she does. 


4.  Evan's Apt: Carl/Evan
     Evan tells Carl that if he confesses to rigging the
accident, he'll go to jail. Carl says that will put an end to
Evan's games, but Evan tells Carl that Rachel was his real
target, not Carl.  Carl seems surprised by this and threatens to
kill Evan. Evan says he's trying to make amends and begs Carl not
to give up his life with Rachel. Carl says it's too late. Evan
says that he's already made his own statement of guilt to the
police, why change it?  Carl says he is leaving Rachel's life
with a "modicum of respect". Evan says he (Carl) will lose
everything. The price of winning is too high, Carl says. Evan
says he knows that, now. Carl tells Evan to stay away from Rachel
and Amanda. Evan tells Carl he realized that Amanda loved Grant,
not him, and that he was backing off. Carl tells Evan that if he
messes with Rachel or Amanda again, he will kill him. [See Best
Line, below]

Cory Mansion: Rachel/Maggie

Rachel tells Maggie that she can't forgive Carl for causing
Amanda's accident. Maggie asks if Carl was trying to "rub Evan
out". She doesn't believe that Carl had reverted to his old ways.
Rachel tells her that Carl admitted it. Maggie is speechless.
Rachel tells Maggie that only she, Grant, and Carl know the
truth. She must go and face Amanda, and she's afraid the news
will set her back. She doesn't know that Grant has told Amanda
already [the slimeball...]

Amanda's Bedroom: Grant/Amanda

Grant says Rachel was protecting the man she loves. Amanda feels
that Carl went too far to deserve protection. Besides, she says,
everybody in the WHOLE family told Rachel what kind of man Carl
was...[and she was warned about GRUNT, wasn't she? Stupid woman]  

Carl is very persuasive, Grant says. Amanda asks how long Rachel
knew Carl was responsible. Grant says he only found out himself
by accident--by overhearing part of an arguement before Carl
walked out, then Rachel told him. He says Rachel was in a lot of
pain. Amanda is angry that Carl gave the Thanksgiving toast and
attended her wedding. Amanda tells Grant he is the only person
she can trust to tell her the truth, no matter what. [Grant can
now begin to isolate Amanda from her family...typical of a
controlling abusive person]

The Farm: Tomas/Sharlene

Tomas [the dullard] is still defending Angela. Sharlene tries to
convince him that there's more going on here than a mother's love
for her daughter. Tomas says its probably that er...well, you
know. Sharlene agrees that, yes, sex is part of Angela's plan,
but it has more to do with "ownership" than with love. Tomas says
Angela had a lot of grief from her parents and had to learn to
sneak around and lie--[Tomas is STILL defending her jeez, what's
it going to take?]  There's something else Angela wants, Sharlene
says, she knows it. But what?  Tomas admits that Angela may have
ulterior motives, but she IS Luisa's mother, bottom line, and
that she does have a right to be with her daughter. Sharlene says
she'd hate to have Angela teach Luisa how to lie, but Tomas says
he already is living a lie by pretending to be Luisa's brother.
Sharlene says Luisa is lucky to have a father like Tomas. When
Luisa arrives, she calls Mrs Griffin "Mommy"  [hey! Luisa's first
line!! ??] Tomas is upset.

Billy's hospital room:  Ryan/Billy 


Ryan tells Billy that the guy who works at the garage where
Evan's car was being serviced saw Ito in the garage. Billy says
that's not proof that Ito did anything to the car, nor can they
link that to Carl. Ryan says he thinks Carl sent Ito there with
instructions to sabotage Evan's car. Billy tells Ryan that if he
intends to pursue Carl with these charges, he'd better do it by
the book, no loopholes, no legal 'outs'. Ryan says that's what he
intends to do. [self-righteous to the very last, is our boy HBL]
If he messes up, Billy says, Ryan will hang himself.

Amanda's Bedroom:  Amanda/Rachel

Rachel arrives with books, they exchange "strained" smalltalk.
Rachel tells Amanda that she's asked Grant to join them. Amanda,
pretending she doesn't know anything, asks why. Rachel says
because she wants to discuss Amanda's therapy. Amanda says she's
not ready for therapy. Rachel tells her she must get therapy if
she is to walk again. Amanda gets angry asking Rachel if she's
focussing on Amanda's therapy so she doesn't have to face her own
guilt.

The Farm: Tomas/Mrs Griffin:

Mrs. Griffin tells Tomas that Luisa started calling her "Mommy"
on her own. She tries to discourage it. Tomas is still angry and
Angela tries to make him see that it's not surprising seeing that
she spends all her time with the Griffins. Apparently, Angela
does not care who Luisa calls "mommy". Angela goes upstairs to
give Luisa her "bribes" and Tomas calls someone on the phone.
[Maggie?]

Evan's Apartment:  Carl/Evan

Evan says his heart is already torn out. Carl says he doesn't
think it is, yet. Evan says he is not leaving town until Amanda
is okay. He tells Carl he blames himself completely; Carl never
would have even bothered with him if he hadn't plotted against
Rachel. Now he knows the price, and it's Amanda who's paying it. 

[*sniffle*] He'll have to live with that the rest of his life.
Carl sneers that it's not enough. Evan says that Carl will only
get more jail time for killing him. Carl repeats his threats. If
Evan sees Rachel or Amanda again, he will have him killed. 

Evan says he wants to see Amanda well. Carl says she'll never be
well again!  Let her have her life, he asks. Let her husband look
after her. CArl will see to that much, he promises. He tells Evan
that he doesn't have to live up to his mother's legacy. To avenge
her, he says, "defy your birthright, lad, and move on." [Shades
of the Highlander!! Another Great line! I love this guy.] 


Billy's Hospital room: Billy/Ryan (sheesh is this show only an  
hour?)

Ryan tells Billy he knows that the department doubts his ability
to bring Carl down. He trusted CArl, he says, and protected him.
Billy says Ryan wanted to believe in CArl. Ryan "admits" he took
the counterfeit plates which would have implicated Carl. Billy
"admits" he knew it, but doesn't "know" anything. Ryan thinks
Carl will find it more difficult to fight him. Billy says not to
count on that. Extradition on Ito has begun. The Japanese
authorities are looking for him. Carl will not be warned that the
case is proceeding against him, Ryan tells Billy.

Amanda's Bedroom: RAchel/Amanda    


[grrrrr] Rachel ask Amanda why she should feel guilty. Amanda
says she knows that Carl arranged the accident; she says she's
grateful that Grant told her, and why didn't Rachel?  Rachel says
she wanted to wait until she was strong enough. When would that
be? Amanda asks. Rachel insists she only found out about Carl's
guilt that day. Amanda doubts that. Rachel was married to
Carl...she was with him all the time. How could she not know? 

Amanda indulges in several moments of "WE TOLD YOU SO" . She asks
Rachel if she thought she could be Carl's own private saviour.
Rachel *sniffle* says she wanted to give Carl the same chance
that Mac had given her. A chance, Amanda says, to do this...she
uncovers her useless legs. [oooo cheap shot].

Grant is in the hallway listening. Amanda tells Rachel that she
is as much to blame as Carl...that Iris was right. Carl has
destoryed the family. Rachel says the family is not destroyed,
they just have to pull closer together. Amanda says that is all a
fairytale... Rachel says they have to examine their choices.
Amanda says her choices are limited, now. No sex, no sports, no
standing, no walking. Her life is over, she says, because Rachel
made the choice to bring Carl into their lives, with all his
criminal baggage. When Grant comes in, she asks him to escort her
mother out. Downstairs, Grant tells Rachel he never intended to
cause a rift between her and Amanda. Rachel is angry that he told
Amanda because she wanted to do it herself. Grant says he
couldn't lie to Amanda. Grant says AManda is strong, she'll calm
down. Rachel says she should be in therapy. Grant says Amanda has
all she can handle as it is [no way he's going to let her get
therapy]. Rachel says she'll be back tomorrow, but Grant says in
effect "don't call us, we'll call you". [AGUGUGGHGHGHG typical!]

The Farm: [is this a two-hour AW special?] Angela/Sharlene

Angela is on the couch reading. Sharlene comes in and asks her if
she's going to fix Luisa some supper. Angela replies that Luisa
can eat with the rest of the family. Sharlene then asks about the
pies she asked Angela to put away. Angela says she and Tomas ate
them. Sharlene says she just found them in the garbage. Angela
says she accidentally dropped them. Sharlene says that Angela
threw them out so she wouldn't have to put them away. Angela
denies it, but Sharlene says she knows Angela lies, and she
doens't like it. Angela pulls a snippy face when Sharlene walks
away.  [ooo this has real promise--AngelNot will get hers]

Outdoors: Maggie/Tomas:

Tomas and Mags are glad to see each other. She has some toys for
Luisa. They indulge in some tonsil exploration. Tomas explains
that Luisa is getting close to the Griffins. He feels left out of
Luisa's life. The Griffins can give Luisa everything and they
love her. Maggie tells him not to be discouraged, that soon he'll
have Luisa. He tells her that Luisa called Mrs. Griffin "Mommy".

Amanda's Bedroom: Grant/Amanda

AManda has no appetite. Grant says he's sorry about Rachel.
Amanda says if Rachel hadn't taken up with Carl, she'd be okay.
Grant says Rachel must have been very lonely to get involved with
Carl. Amanda says that is no excuse--perhaps it was the danger
that made Carl exciting to Rachel. Grant says he doesn't know how
Rachel could put her own feelings over those of her family [the
edge of the wedge--the seeds of hatred oooo what a scumball] 

Amanda says that they are alike (she and Grant) in that they both
place family above everything. Family, honour, loyalty, Grant
says. She says driven people need someone to trust and love, and
Grant has been that for her. She'd be lost without him.  [Better
order a bucket...and some X-14 Slime remover  OMG he's on the 

bed with her ewwww] 


Cory Mansion: Rachel/Ryan

Ryan tells Rachel he's opening up the case of Amanda's accident
and that he thinks Carl is responsible. Rache tells Ryan that
it's all true. Ryan says he's sorry for her, but where did Carl
go? Rachel says he's going to turn himself in. Ryan doesn't believe
it. He asks Rachel for information against Carl, and her testimony
at a trial.

The Farm:  Sharlene/Angela

Angela is waiting for Tomas to return. Why doesn't she read to
the kids, Sharlene says. Angela declines. Sharlene says she knows
Angela relly doesn't like being with Luisa. She goes on to say
that she loves Tomas and Luisa, and she will not let them get
hurt. She'll be watching her. Angela pulls another face.  


Outdoors: Maggie/Tomas

Luisa needs a family, Tomas says. A mother and a father.  It's
not fair, he says, that he asked Maggie to wait until he is free.
He seems to be considering giving Luisa to the Griffins, but no,
he might be thinking about trying to make a family with Angela!
[Sweet Jesus this boy is thick]. Is he telling Maggie goodbye?  


Rachel/Ryan

Ryan asks Rachel exactly did Carl say. Rachel says Carl said
Amanda wasn't supposed to be in the car. Ask Carl for the
details, she says. Ryan again asks Rachel to help him. She
explains that Amanda is not speaking to her because she thinks
Rachel was protecting Carl. Ryan says they both have been
protecting him too long--he wants to put Carl away for good.
Rachel looks as though she had not considered this...

Amanda's Bedroom:  Amanda/oooo a visitor...

Amanda is sleeping. Carl is standing in the shadows. He calls her
name and she wakes...

Freeze Frame...[at last puff*puff*puff)
 

Best Line (Best Delivery, too)  


                        Carl to Evan:  


"If you tamper in their lives again, I shall find
you...I shall find you, and I shall tear out your heart." 


S:-}   and   ~~[:-{) Oooo  what a man.... (both of
'em!!)
