Wednesday on "the city":

It's still night. In her apartment, Ally is laying on the 
couch, remembering her and Danny maing out and Danny 
telling her he wants her more than he's wanted anything 
in his life. She rips her dress trying to get up, saying 
this is wrong. There is a knock at the door. She looks 
out the peephole (ed. note: Is this a first for Daytime 
TV?). It's Jocelyn. Alex is out in Jersey, visiting his 
son, Jocelyn says as she comes in. Jocelyn has chinese 
food. Ally says she already ate. Jocelyn wonders if she 
and Tony finally got back together. No, it was with Danny,
Ally says.

Danny is in the City Bar, playing pool. Tony stops his ball.

At the penthouse, Carla is pounding on the door. Zoey 
says a man is dead in her bed, let's call the cops. Tracy 
says the ink is barely dry on her marriage certificate, and 
her husband is dead in her bed. Zoey says so, they'll so an
autopsy and she'll be in the clear. Tracy thinks that the 
cops will call her in for questioning, and *then* they'll 
tell Carla. Tracy thinks that Carla will have a contract out 
on Tracy's life like *that* (snap your fingers here). Tracy 
says if that noise (the pounding on the door) doesn't stop, 
she will go crazy! Tracy tells Zoey to go see who is at the 
door and to get rid of them. Tracy turns to Gino and tells 
him this is all his fault! Zoey opens the door and Carla 
storms in yelling that she needs to talk to her father.

Jocelyn says this is a bad idea. Ally agrees that this was 
not the best idea. She was feeling lonely. Jocelyn wonders 
how Danny was feeling. What's wrong with two friends having 
dinner? Ally asks. If that's all it was. It was...Ally says,
then it was more.

What does he want? Danny asks. How about a friendly game? 
Tony says. Danny says that he knows Tony doesn't want a 
game. Tony says that he wants to talk about that night that 
Danny brought Tyler home. Why didn't Danny come home that 
night? Why were Carla and Tony left alone? Danny lies that 
he went to his mother's and decided to stay over. Something, 
Tony says, that he's never done before or since? Danny thinks 
that Tony wants to think that if Danny was there Tony wouldn't 
have dropped his pants. Tony say he doesn't remember...but he 
will.

Carla wants to go upstairs. Zoey says she can't. Carla says 
watch me. Zoey wants her to respect the marriage bed. Carla 
just looks at Zoey. Zoey yells (so Tracy can hear her) DON'T 
GO UP TO THE BEDROOM. Carla pushes Zoey away and storms up the 
stairs. Tracy is in bed, with Gino. Tracy looks like she's 
disgusted (ed. note: well, you know...think how you'd feel 
trying to cuddle with a dead man). Carla calls to Gino. 
Tracy says he's exhausted. What did you do to him? Carla asks. 
Tracy laughs her laugh and asks if Carla really wants to know.

Tracy gets out of bed, putting on a robe. Unbelievable, Carla 
says. Tracy says that's just want her father said. Unbelievable 
is right, Zoey says. Let's go downstairs and talk, so Carla's
father can sleep, Tracy says.

Ally tells Jocelyn about the date. They had dinner, Ally says
and they danced. Then he invited her in for a nightcap. Please,
Jocelyn says, tell me that they didn't...no, Ally says...no..well, 
almost. ALMOST? Jocelyn says. They kissed, Ally says. She totally 
stopped Danny and told him this could never happen again. 
Jocleyn says she can't believe Ally set her brother up again. 
Ally says that she was lonely. Jocelyn says Danny is totally in 
love with her. Ally says she told him it would never happen again. 
Great! Jocelyn says, Ally dashed Danny, but she managed to get 
Tony jealous. Ally shrugs her shoulders and slaps her hands on 
her side.

Danny works the jealously angle. Danny thinks that Tony is jealous 
because Danny is around for Ally to cry on his shoulder. Tony 
looks around and says, gee, Danny where is Ally? Looks like your 
hot date is a bust.

Carla wants to talk to her father about a business problem in
Jersey. Family business, Carla says. Tracy says she's family, what 
can she do to help? Carla says nevermind, she'll deal with it. 
Just have Gino call Vito in the morning. Anything else? Tracy asks. 
Carla says, oh, one more thing. She does not like Tracy. Tracy 
says, she meant anything new? Carla says she does not like Tracy, 
she does not trust her, but Tracy is married to her father now, 
and she will try to respect that. That's the best wedding present 
Carla could give to her father and her, Tracy says. Carla says 
that Tracy makes Gino happy...but, if she ever makes him unhappy, 
she will pay for it. Zoey looks worried.

Zoey asks if she could get them anything to drink. No, they both 
answer in unison. Carla says that she expects they will be happily 
ever after till death do they part. Tracy says no problem. Carla 
says if she gets even a hint that Tracy has hurt her father...
Tracy says she can honestly say that she will do nothing to hurt 
her father from here forward. Carla leaves. Tracy and Zoey talk 
about what to do with the body. Zoey says count me out. Tracy says 
she's in. Since when? Zoey asks. Since she saw what she saw. Tracy 
says besides, she has to help. If the mob kills her, Dilon will 
have no mother. Could Zoey live with that? Easier than moving a 
dead body, Zoey says. Just think of it as redecorating, Tracy 
suggests.

Ally says Danny is her friend. She thought a simple dinner date 
would be fine. But things got out of hand. Jocelyn says she is 
sorry for jumping down her throat. Ally says maybe she did do all 
those things. Jocelyn says these things will happen since they all 
live so close. They'll run into each other and bump in to everyone. 
Ally says Jocelyn thinks she should stick to her original plan and 
move to Paris, doesn't she?. Jocelyn says yes, that may be best.

Danny says that he won't tell Tony about how his date went. Tony 
tells Danny that he'll never have Ally. Tony may have blown it, 
but Ally will never get together with Danny. She's not that stupid. 
They argue. Tony tells Danny to take a swing at him. Danny declines, 
knowing Tony will sucker punch him if he tries. Okay, Tony says. 
Fair enough. Tell me about the night that you brought Tyler home, 
the night he was going to propose to Ally...which Danny knew about, 
by the way. Danny doesn't remember much about that night. Tony 
doesn't either, but he will, he says (again). Danny yells that Tony 
will make a terrible father. This kid will grow up knowing it was a 
mistake, unwanted. Carla arrives and stops the conversation. She
went to the apartment and he wasn't there, so she got worried and 
came looking for him. Tony goes to pay his bar tab. Carla yells at 
Danny that he was about to blow it. Danny says he was cool. Carla 
says they made a deal. This is *not* his child, this is Tony's 
child! Carla and Tony leave. Danny breaks the pool cue over his knee, 
saying a baby is not a *deal*, Carla.
