Tuesday on "the city":

It's night in the city. In his apartment, Tony is starting 
to remember that night Carla said they made love. Carla 
says he was so loving...so drunk, Tony says. She hopes he 
remembers being so passionate. He tells her she asked him 
to let her help him take his sweater off. But, he remembers 
telling her he didn't need her help, to leave him alone. 
What happened after that, Carla?

In his apartment, Danny says Ally looks wonderful, she needs 
to relax. She can't, Ally says. She smells so great, Danny
continues, he wants to hold her forever. Danny, she wispers, 
don't. Don't what? he asks. They fall to the floor, kissing.

Tracy's fill-in (Pam) tells Tracy that there is something 
wrong. Tracy goes upstairs. She asks why Gino's head is under 
the covers. She says, Gino, sweetheart, how can you breath 
under there? She lifts the covers and screams, he's dead!

Zoey is drying her toe nails with a hair dryer placed between 
her knees. Dilon yells to her. She turns off the dryer, He 
tells her that he can't go to sleep without his teddy bear. 
Of course not, she says. He thinks that he left it on his 
mommy's bed. That may be a problem, Zoey says.

Tracy says that he's dead. Pam doesn't want to get involved. 
Tracy says she wants to call Gino's doctor. Since he died of 
natural causes, no one will suspect his wealthy widow. She 
talks to the doctor, saying he knows Gino was in poor health...
the doctor that at his last check up, he was fine. When was 
that? Tracy asks. Last week. He tells her that Gino is as 
healthy as a 40 year old, especially on the stress test. 
What? Tracy says, but Carla told her that he was really sick. 
The doctor tells her that that was a story for the Feds. Tracy 
hangs up without telling the doctor that Gino is dead. Pam asks 
her why she didn't tell the doctor. She has her reasons. She 
gets Pam to leave, and to promise she was never here. Oh, Gino, 
Tracy says turning to the bed, why couldn't you have died in a 
public place?

Carla says the music stopped, she better change the record. 
Tony wants an answer. Carla lies that he told her to go, but 
when she tried to leave, he stopped her. Tony doesn't buy it. 
Carla has pains, and she sits down. Tony tells her to breath 
deep and slow, she's just over hyperventulating. She tries
the breathing.

Danny and Ally are going at it, but Ally says NO! Her dress 
rips, and she gets up, holding it up. No, this is wrong! Ally 
says as she runs out.

Tony pours a cup of tea for Carla. Is she feeling better? Much, 
thanks. He will be a wonderful father and a great coach, Carla 
says. Isn't it a little early to talk about little league? She 
meant Lamaze coach. Oh. He wants to talk about that night. He's 
always talking about that night, Carla yells. She hates how he 
is going on and on about that night like it was a nightmare. 
It's a void, not a nightmare, Tony says. She knows this tension 
is not good for the baby. She doesn't want anything to happen 
to the baby, so she is trying to ease some of the tension in her 
life. She has agreed to accept her father's marriage. She doesn't 
like Tracy, she doesn't trust her, but she will accept that she 
is her father's wife. Tony is proud of her.

Ally and Zoey collide at their apartment door. Zoey asks Ally to 
watch the kids while she retrieves Dilon's animal. Zoey leaves, 
Danny knocks on the door. He wants to talk. They agree that they 
both got carried away. She cares about him, but only as a friend. 
He cares more than that, Danny says, there is a chemistry. She 
knows that, but it keeps getting them into trouble!

Tracy sends Pam out. At the elevator door, Pam and Zoey run into 
each other. Zoey sees the door open. She goes in and talks to 
Tracy. Zoey wants Dilon's teddy bear. He says he left it on her 
bed. OH! Tracy will get it. The phone rings. It's Vito, who needs 
to talk to Gino immediately. Tracy says if he wakes up, she'll 
give him the message. She hangs up. And then, she adds, she'll 
get some garlic and a cross. She notices that Zoey went upstairs. 
No! Tracy calls out. Zoey sees the bear. As she reaches for it, 
Gino's arm falls on her. Zoey picks it up and notices it's cold. 
She calls him and shakes him as Tracy comes up and says stop 
before he loses his teeth.

Danny says he knows he came on too strong. She can't give him what 
he needs. He doesn't want to find someone, he wants her. He is 
willing to go as slow as she needs. It's over, Ally says. Just 
give him one more chance. If he cared about her as much as he says, 
he'd back off. Can he do that? He doesn't know. Please? Just go, 
Ally says. Danny heads for the door. He turns. Just go, Danny, she 
begs. He leaves. Outside, he says he blew it, Roberts. Inside, she 
says what were you thinking?

Carla says you know Papa will spoil this kid. Why do you always 
change the subject? Tony asks. The only thing that she's changing 
is her tea, Carla says, it's cold. She offers to put her 
recollections down so he can replay them every 5 minutes. He asks 
what happened after he told her to leave him alone. They kissed,
Carla says. How much? Tony asks. The phone rings. It's Vito. He 
wants to talk to Gino. Carla offers to give him Tracy's number. 
Vito says he called there and Tracy wouldn't let him talk to Gino. 
Carla says she'll go up and tell her father. It's about that New 
Jersey thing. Carla understands and she hangs up and says she has 
to go talk to her father. It's their wedding night! Tony says.
Carla leaves and Tony rememebers telling Carla to leave him alone. 
This doesn't add up, he says.

Tracy tells Zoey that Gino is a sound sleeper. Dead asleep, Zoey 
says. Zoey wants to call the cops. No, Tracy says, she can't. Oh 
no, Zoey says, you killed him. No, Tracy can honestly say, she 
did not do this. But, his frends and relatives may not see it 
that way. Zoey says this is bad, this is bad this is bad. There 
is a knock on the door (okay, a pounding). You're not expecting 
anyone are you? Zoey asks. Carla is continously pounding on the 
door.
