Bernardo looks at a scarf in his room and flashes back to making love
with Azure.  He picks up the paper with the expose headline and
remembers calling her a freak.  The phone rings, it+s Zoey looking for
Azure, he admits he said some bad things.  He agrees to talk to Azure
after Zoey tells him that she tried to kill herself.

Meanwhile, Azure is flashing back to Bernardo+s proposal as she looks
at the gun in her hands.  Later, she is looking a picture of herself and
Bernardo and flashes back to him calling her a freak.  She throws
something at the mirror and breaks it (the camera shoots her reflection
in the broken mirror).  She loads the gun and Bernardo arrives.  He tries
to get her to put the gun down, but she tells him to stay away, this will
solve everyone+s problems - his, hers, her family+s.  She tells him that he
was right, she+s a freak and has always been one, she thought the operation
would change things, but it didn+t and she can+t take the pain anymore.
The night they made love and he proposed was the only time life felt right.
Bernardo apologizes for the cruel things he said, but she doesn+t want his
pity.  He says it+s not pity, what she+s doing is wrong and he wants to help
her (Bernardo is very sincere and sensitive in these scenes - hopefully
this attitude will stick!)

Jocelyn calls Dr. Peterson and leaves a message to call her - she remembers
what happened to her and is afraid of what she might do.  She hangs up and
asks "How could you do this to me, Dad?"  She tries to watch TV, then tries
to call her Mom - but she+s asleep.  She tries the doctor again, no answer.
She starts to have Alex paged, but changes her mind.  As she pours vodka
into a water glass, she flashes back to a man saying "Jocelyn, you sweet 
little
thing you, you+re a real prize" and her dad calling her his special girl. 
 She
throws the glass across the room, and runs out.

Tony and Ally meet Alex at the bar.  Ally isn+t happy with the bodyguard
following her and Tony.    Tony reminds Alex that he used to be a bodyguard
and can take care of them.  Alex wants the big bodyguard around to send a
message to the bad guys.  While Alex is getting drinks, Ally and Tony 
discuss
the difficulties of maintaining a relationship after finding out your 
girlfriend
was turning tricks.  Alex comes over with beer and the paper with Azure on 
it.
He+s disbelieving and the other two dismiss it as rumour.  Tony points out 
that
Ally has spent a lot of time photographing Azure and Ally says if she+s a
transsexual, you would never know by looking at her.  Tony wants to go back
and get some info from Joey, Ally thinks they should talk to Uncle Gino. 
 Tony
doesn+t think they+d get anywhere.  Ally wonders what is so important in 
Tess+
agency to make it worth killing someone.  Later, Alex goes to get more 
beers,
and Tony starts insulting Ally+s pool playing ability.  She takes him up on 
his
offer to show her how to hold a cue, which of course is an excuse to put his
arms around her - a ploy she sees through.  Alex comes back with beers and 
says
he tried to call Joc, there was no answer so he wants to go up to talk to 
her.  The
other two discourage this, saying to give her time.

Jared watches as Sydney and Danny kiss, then shuts the door and looks 
pained.
He calls Malcolm sounding distraught and tells him the plans have changed
regarding Sydney - but says she+ll still be coming with him.  Inside, Danny
pockets a box and tells Syd after he goes to the pawn shop, he+ll give her 
the
ticket.  She says her only concern is getting the loan shark off his back. 
 He
leaves, and she makes a call to stress the importance of moving on the issue
they discussed.  She mentions she has the blueprints with her.  Jared enters
and Syd ends the conversation.  He tells her he saw Danny leaving and 
wonders
why he was there.  She tells him that he was dropping off some legal papers 
for
his sister.  Jared notes how nice it is that he runs errands for his sister. 
 He tells
her he wants to make their anniversary a once in a lifetime experience.  He 
says
it will be one surprise she+ll never forget.  She tries to get him to give 
her a hint,
but he won+t.

Danny heads to the pawn shop with Sydney+s jewelry, and is stunned to find
out the piece is fake.  She sees Danny looking at her gun and she tells him 
he
needs some fun in his life.  He wants to buy one and she offers to trade one 
for
the brooch, and she throws in some ammo - she+d hate to see him shooting 
blanks.

Mr. Roberts is pouring himself a drink when Jocelyn arrives at her his door.
He asks how his special girl is.  She knocks the drink from his hand and 
says
"I should kill you".

(BTW, Jocelyn went through the whole show without crying once - she was
on the verge once or twice, but remained dry-eyed!)
