I appologize ahead of time. My company moved, and I got a window office. 
This is wonderful, I thought...until I turned on the TV today. :-( So, 
I have sound, static, and a snowy picture....I'll do the best I can.

Tuesday in "the city":

In the bar, Tess asks if the waiter has had any word from Buck. Not 
since she asked 5 minutes ago. She says he checked out of the resort 
hours ago. No one has seen him since he left, Tess says. The waiter
tells her that Buck will get over it. She remembers the fight. She 
thinks that she better just tell him. She hopes he's in a forgiving 
mood. Buck walks in with a woman and the woman kisses him. Buck sees 
that Tess saw that. Tess leaves. Buck runs after Tess.

Outside her door, Ally is having trouble with something. She has 
Tyler in her arms, too. Where is Superman when you need him? Enter 
Tony.

Outside Carla's room, knock knock; room service, Tracy says. She 
didn't order anything, Carla says to Danny. Carla looks out the 
peephole and sees Tracy. It's Tracy! Carla says. Danny says something, 
and it looks like Tracy hears voices (not sure if she can identify 
Danny's voice).

Buck follows Tess and makes Tess open the door. Tess says she doesn't 
want to make him make the snow bunny wait. Buck says she's a very nice 
lady. Tess says she's sure she is. Buck wants to know what is so 
important. Tess says nothing. She wanted something, Buck says, she was 
waiting for him. She yells that Buck brought that lady to show off - 
he knew she'd be waiting, or that someone would tell her. Buck tells 
her to shut up and listen to him. Tess is in shock.

Ally thanks Tony. He says it looked heavy. She can't find her key. 
Tony says that Danny has one - Jocelyn gave him one. He invites her 
into his place - maybe Danny is home. Tony calls for Danny. No Danny. 
Ally wonders where he is.

Tracy demands that Carla open the door. Carla is running around, 
getting Danny out of sight and picking up clothes. Tracy says she 
promised Carla's father that she would check up on her and she wants 
to make sure that Carla is okay. Carla says she's fine. Tracy says she 
just wants to look at her and then she'll report to Carla's father. 
Carla stuffs all the clothes under the bed. She opens the door. Tracy 
says she looks fine, but a little red and flushed. Is she okay? or has 
she over-exerted herself?  Carla tries to convience Tracy that all she 
wants is a little peace and quiet and to be alone. Tracy talks, and 
walks around. She sees a bracelet and picks it up. She mentions that 
it's a little big for Carla's delicate writst. Meanwhile, in another 
room, Danny is finshing dressing, and he notices his bracelet is missing.

Carla grabs the bracelet and says it belongs to her. It's an old 
boyfriend's. Tracy's not buying it. Danny hears Carla and Tracy talking. 
Carla tells Tracy that she is tired, and she is going to take a shower. 
Tracy suggests a bath. Tracy says this place is so large...as she walks 
to the bathroom door...Carla could hold a party in there. Carla tells 
her she should leave - now! Whatever is she hiding? Tracy asks.

Ally says it's all the security locks fault. Tony remembers that he 
insisted she put the lock in when they were having all the problems. He 
was worried about her. Ally wants to call a locksmith. Tony calls a 
friend who's a locksmith. He'll be right over, Tony says. Ally thanks 
him and she tells him not to let her stop him from working. Tony says 
he's happy to have her with him. They talk about Tyler, who is sleeping. 
Tony says he is sorry. Ally walks away and wonders how long the locksmith 
is going to take. Tony says that he thinks about what his life is going 
to be without her, and it's killing him. Her too, Ally admits. Maybe 
that means that things will work out for them, Tony suggests.

Buck drags Tess over to a chair. He wants her to sit while he talks to 
her. Buck says that he and the woman skied last night. They had dinner 
with her friends. Then, he took her to his room. Tess hopes that she 
was good. She was great! Buck says. She did for him what no other woman 
has ever done, he adds. Tess gets up. Buck makes her listen. He had a 
terrific time with her and a bottle of brandy. Buck tells Tess that the 
woman listened to him talk about Tess for hours. Just talk, he says. He 
told her how he loved Tess, and how he was worried about losing her, and 
he didn't know why, and he still doesn't - because Tess won't tell him. 
He is mad at her for ruining this special time they were supposed to have. 
What did he have planned? Tess asks. Buck says he wanted to take her to 
someplace special, and to make her feel special, and to ask her to marry 
him. Tess stares at him.

Buck says yes, he was going to ask her to marry him. Why did he bring 
that woman here? Tess asks. He talked her ear off all night, Buck says, 
he figured he owed her a ride home, and a look at the woman who is driving 
him crazy. Tess sits down again and asks for a favor. Would he please ask 
her to marry him, right here? Buck says that this is not the way he planned 
it. You can't even see any mountains, Buck says. Tess says if he doesn't 
ask her right now, she'll die. Buck asks her if she would do him the honor 
of becoming his wife, for the rest of her life? Tess kisses him and says 
yes. Kiss kiss, oh yes. Buck says that he's all worn out. Now, it's her 
time, Buck says. What did she want to tell him? Nothing. Buck says she 
said she wanted to say something. Oh, yeah, she remembers. She kisses him. 
Buck wants to take her home. She doesn't have one, Tess reminds him. She 
does, Buck says, with him, for as long as she lives.

Ally doesn't think it'll be that easy. Tony says he misses her. They 
almost kiss. The locksmith is here. Good to see you, he tells Tony. Tony 
wishes that he could say the same. The locksmith asks where the lock is. 
Right over there, Tony points. He'll have it open in no time. Ally goes 
to get Tyler ready. The locksmith comes back. That was quick, Tony says.
He tells Ally to come by tomorrow and he'll get some duplicates made. 

Tracy, standing in front of the bathroom door tells Carla that she's not 
fooling anyone. Carla says it's her place. But, Tracy says, she's stronger 
as she opens the door. Danny is gone. Tracy says that she can see Carla 
is doing well. Tracy tells Carla to call her father. Tracy leaves. Carla 
runs to the bathroom. Danny was outside, on the ledge. He runs to the 
fire, he's frozen. He didn't think she'd ever leave. He tells Carla that 
it's a good thing he already made his deposit, since his assets are frozen. 
She says that if Danny knew what just went on, he wouldn't be making jokes. 
That witch knows something is going on, Carla says, and she won't let up 
until she finds out. We get a shot of the outside of Carla's door. I 
assume Tracy was listening in.
