Buck is going to the storeroom with a blonde waitress to get some more
bottles of something.  He see Tess get off the elevator, she tells him she
has an appointment and she+s late.  He tells her to hurry back, he has
something special planned.  She kisses him "for luck" and leaves, while
he watches her and seems to be wondering.  He heads back to the bar and
calls the Vermont Inn about his wanting to get the honeymoon suite for
the weekend.  He admits that it+s not his honeymoon, but he intends on
proposing there.  The other bartender comes in and he asks him to work
the weekend for him.  He asks him to go to the storeroom to get him some
champagne (I+d refuse, since the waitress who went down earlier hasn+t
been seen yet).

Tess gets to the doctor+s office and starts chattering idly.  The doctor
interrupts her, realizing she+s nervous and scared.  The doctor says that
most of the time, these things turn out to be cysts and won+t have to be
removed.  But it+s better to be safe and check it out.  They go in the back.
Later, Tess comes out and puts on her coat and paces.  The doctor comes
out, the lump is not a cyst, it+s a tumor.  Tess is upset, even though the
doctor says it might not be cancer.  She needs to have a biopsy.  Tess
talks about dying young and the doctor tries to reassure her that there+s
a good chance that the tumor is benign.  Tess is skeptical, since she used
the same words about the growth earlier.  The doctor gives Tess a surgeon+s
name and asks her to call him.  She leaves to get a nurse who went through
the same thing as Tess and her tumor was benign.  Tess leaves before they
get back.

Ally comes out in time to see Tony and Carla.  She goes back in, despite
Tony yelling to open up and Carla saying that it+s not what she thinks.
Tony tells Carla to stay out of it.  Tony begs at the door, ignoring Carla+s
leaving.  After the elevator leaves, a teary eyed Ally opens the door.  They
go over the same old things, he+s sorry and miserable, she+s broken-hearted
and miserable.  Ally goes on about how the child ties Carla and Tony 
together
forever, Carla is his future,...  While the actors did a good job here, I 
kept
wanting Tony to point out that Ally had a child with one man while in love
with the man she later married.  He tells her that if she can look at him 
and
say she doesn+t love him, he+ll leave her alone.  She says she does love 
him,
but wishes she didn+t.  He says he+ll make everything right, she tells him 
to
go.  He says he won+t stop fighting for her and leaves.  She says "Tony" as
he leaves, but he doesn+t hear.  (Cliffhanger)

Carla runs into Danny in the lobby.  They compare notes, both guessing
that nothing happened with the other.  Carla relates the scene in the 
hallway.
Carla is gloating, but Danny tells her that Tony will not give up on Ally.
Danny points out that she+s still not pregnant, but she replies that he+d be
amazed what modern science can do.  Danny says he doesn+t want to hear
the details.  He+s sick of the game and of her.  She mocks him and tells him
she+s going gene shopping.  He points out that she doesn+t wear jeans, and
she laughs - not those kind of genes.
