NICK'S ON-AGAIN, OFF-AGAIN ILLNESS IS ON-AGAIN
==============================================
Lorraine comes to see Nick, who's ill, bearing jambalaya, which theoretically
heals the sick and raises the dead.  She also apologizes for being a first-
class fool by trying to come between Jacob and Angie; she's decided that Angie
will self-destruct on her own, without any help from her.  Lorraine tells Nick
about Angie's sleepwalking "excuse," which doesn't jibe with Lorraine's own
theory that Angie is crazy.  This conversation appears to make Nick ill.
Lorraine gets him some water, and wants to go get Angie; crazy or no, she's
a doctor.  Nick refuses, but does tell Lorraine about his bad liver, and that
he refuses to get treatment because they'll want him to go to the hospital,
and he wants to get his record made.  Lorraine points out that the doctors
could make him live longer.  Nick says when people go into hospitals, they
don't come out.  Lorraine scoffs, but Nick insists he has to do this in the
time he has left.  Lorraine suggests he do it when he feels better.  Don't
tell me what to do, says Nick, or tell anyone; he has to do this, for himself,
and for Jacob and Buck.  Lorraine says they wouldn't want him to kill himself
(literally) paying them back.  Nick doesn't want to let his dream die -- they
both know too much about that.  But, Nick advises her, let Jacob remain a
dream.  They head down to the bar...


ANGIE, FULLY AWAKE, TELLS LORRAINE WHERE TO GO
==============================================
Angie gets off the phone; she's arranging for Kayla to come visit.  Jacob's
unthrilled, saying it's bad timing, what with her sleepwalking and all.  Angie,
for one, is relieved that sleepwalking is her problem; Jacob, on the other
hand, is now not sleeping, because he's watching her.  Angie promises it won't
happen again (?), and it won't hurt her.  Jacob has been doing some research.
He pulls out a newspaper article about killers claiming sleepwalking as a legal
defense.  Angie laughs, and promises not to kill anyone.  Jacob thinks they
need to know more.  Angie says it's common, and happens for lots of reasons,
including stress.  Jacob thinks that's exactly why they should put Kayla off,
so she can relax.  Angie says she *was* relaxed, until now.  Jacob harasses
her about calling the doctor.  Angie called her mom, instead, who told her that
she never did anything bad while she was sleepwalking.  What about going off
on Lorraine? asks Jacob.  "Whatever I said, I'm sure I meant it," says Angie.
He offers again to fire Lorraine, but Angie doesn't want to put her out of work,
and vows that Lorraine isn't capable of hurting her.  But Jacob's worried
about Angie, not Lorraine.  Angie promises to see her doctor when she gets
back from vacation, and Jacob can strap her to the bed until then.  As
appealing as Jacob seems to find that suggestion, he has to get back to work
at the moment.  Angie heads back up to the loft to get something, and runs
into Lorraine coming down from Nick's.  Lorraine asks how she is, and 
apologizes, feigning concern about Angie's sleepwalking.  Angie asks how she
heard.  Jacob, says Lorraine.  "Well, here's something Jacob might not have
told you.  Awake or asleep, day or night, *I* *don't* *like* *you*."  Go, Angie!
Lorraine smirks...


GOODBYE MOM, HELLO DAD
======================
Zoey is looking through a box of books and papers.  Richard rushes in; she left
him a message that sounded important.  "It's over," she says.  Not to worry;
she's quoting a poem her mother wrote.  She got a whole bunch of stuff from a
friend of her mom's.  Apparently, her mom seems to have been a quiet, artistic
type.  Richard asks if she's ready to track down her dad.  Zoey initially
refuses, but Richard points out how well looking for her mom turned out; she
found out she was loved.  Zoey doesn't think her dad's a great guy, or he
wouldn't have knocked up her mom and left.  He deserves to be dead, if he isn't
already.  She says she has no intention of looking for him... then starts to
consider it.  "I hate you," she says to Richard.  He promises to never mention
it again.  They smooch for awhile.  Richard has to head back to the studio.
Zoey decides to start her search for her dad.  Richard asks if she's sure.
No, says Zoey, but I'm going to anyway.  Zoey asks him for a dinner date,
forgetting that it's "Lady's Night" at Ally's.  Richard has to work anyway.
He tells to her to watch the show tonight; it's going to be "very special."
He's excited...


MR. SENSITIVE STRIKES AGAIN
===========================
Danny comes to see Jocelyn to talk about the coffee bar; he's psyched, things
look good.  He asks why Ally was guarding the door the other night, and gets
mad when Jocelyn won't tell him what was going on.  She doesn't want to talk
about Alex; she wants to talk about her.  She tells him about her visit to
their mom, and her drinking again.  Danny's not particularly surprised, and
blames dad.  Jocelyn points out that it takes two to have a relationship.
They argue about whose fault it is that their family is so awful.  Jocelyn
tells him that she doesn't remember things from their childhood.  Danny offers
to fill in the blanks of what she doesn't remember.  Jocelyn brings up Saturday 
afternoons.  Danny sarcastically comments about their "sacred Saturdays," when
Jocelyn and dad would go off, and Danny would have to stay home because he was
being punished for something or other.  Jocelyn asks him how she behaved when
they got back.  Danny says she was happier than he, the perpetual screw-up.
She tells Danny she thinks... I'm pretty sure I know, Danny says, you're talking
about when he hit mom.  Jocelyn doesn't remember that.  Danny talks about it,
how he hated him, and vows to kill him if he ever finds out that he did anything
to their mom or Jocelyn, completely quelling any inclination Jocelyn had to
tell him what she was afraid went on.  Jocelyn tells him she had no idea it
was so bad for him.  Danny asks her what she was saying?  Nothing, says Jocelyn,
it's just that therapy has brought up some old memories.  Danny offers to help.
Jocelyn says if it's important enough, she'll remember on her own.  She tries
to change the subject back to the coffee bar.  Jocelyn wishes him luck.  As
he leaves, Danny tells her the bad stuff is in the past, and the future will
be great for both of them...

Curb-hanger...
