Ally and Tony are kissing in the hallway.  They move into the apartment
and proceed to tear each others clothes off.  Afterwards, Ally goes back to
her whining about Carla mode, while Tony repeats his arguments.  (For 
details,
go back to any update that has Tony and Ally talking in the last months).
Tony says he+ll do anything to make it right and brings out the engagement
ring that he was going to give to her on her birthday.  She says she can+t
accept it.  He tells her it+s not a proposal, he wants her to wear it around 

her neck as a reminder.  She agrees to wear it and to give him some time
to make things right.

Tracy is surrounded by the mob guys at Gino+s other  home.  She demands
that they leave.  They informs her that she+s in no position to make 
demands.
She tells them she found a key in Gino+s things and came there hoping to
find a way to connect with her grief.  They guess that she+s looking for 
money.
She tries to play the grieving widow, but they don+t buy it.  They admit 
they
were watching her because of Gino+s death, not for her protection.  She 
tells
them that she had nothing to do with his death - he died of an aneurysm.
They are skeptical.  She tells them that if she+s not back within an hour, 
her
assistant will call the police.  They are unfazed.  She threatens with her 
family.
They know she+s been disowned.  They tell her to stay out of Gino+s business
to keep out of  any unfortunate accidents.  She turns over the key to them 
and
leaves.  Tracy goes back to the bar and has an audio flashback of the 
threats
and wonders what they were trying to keep her from.

Buck carries Lorraine into the bar after she+s been hit by a car.  They call
the paramedics and give everyone a drink on the house.  The driver of the
car is there also, distraught over hitting her.

In the clinic, Angie thinks Lorraine has a concussion.  Lorraine comes to
and Angie gets her to move her fingers and toes and asks her if she knows
who they are, where she is, etc.  She does.  The paramedics arrive and Nick
holds her while saying it was his fault for treating her bad.  They make up.
He goes off to get her a drink of water and asks Angie about Lorriane+s
condition.  Angie says she needs some test but seems optimistic.  We hear
a choking sound from behind the partition.  They run back, Lorraine is 
laying
down, her hand at her neck then goes still.  Angie checks her and discovers
she+s not breathing.  Angie finds out that there is something blocking her
throat and tells Nick and Jacob that she has to do an emergency tracheotomy
or Lorraine might die.
