Jared comes home and gives Sydney a present. She thought that they 
were gonna celebrate tonight. He wanted to give her this, but the big 
surprise is coming. He's gonna spoil her, she says.

Loraine congratulates Nick for 6 months of sobriety. Tess comes 
into the bar and talks to Buck. She's too old to make a new start, 
Tess says. Where was she when they met? Buck asks. Married to a 
Lebanese mob boss. And look how far you've come, he adds. Azure C 
comes into the bar.

Danny and Mike meet. Mike asks if Danny has the money. No, something 
better, Danny says. What? The crown jewels? he asks. No, this, Danny 
says as he pulls out the gun and aims for Mike's head.

Azure tries to appologize. She tells Tess that she just wants to 
pick up her pay and her things. She's leaving town, she adds. Tess 
tells Azure that there is nothing...no "things", no pay. The agency 
is finished. Why? Azure says. Jared Chase, Tess spits out.

Jared gives Sydney an eternity ring. Sydney kids him about thinking 
that they've been married an eternity. No, no. Jared laughs but he 
won't tell her what the secret is for tonight, even though Sydney 
tries to get him to spill the beans.

Mike does a bad job of being worried about Danny's gun. Danny wants 
to know who's putting the squeeze on Mike for Danny's $30,000. Mike 
caves in and says Jared Chase.

Jared says he hates to be away from her, even for a minute or two. 
He hugs her and says especially today. She wants to know what to 
pack. Nothing, he says. We're going to a nudist colony? Jared says 
everything has been taken care of. Jared leaves. Sydney plays the 
cassette. Jared says no phone, no fax, no computers; no way out. 
Sydney says don't count on that.

Mike says that Jared knows Danny slept with his wife. So this is 
what this is all aobut? Danny asks. Mike says what did he think 
would happen when he stared diddling with the wife? Mike says that
Jared is a nut case. If Danny ofts him, Jared will get another...
and another. All Mike wants is a chance to get as far away from 
Jared Chase as possible. Danny lets him go. Mike makes a parting 
comment that where ever he goes, Jared Chase will track him down 
and get him.

Nick shows Loraine the beeper. He's top of the transplant list 
and he needs to be contacted as soon as a donor is found. Loraine 
hands it back and wishes him that it will go off soon. They talk 
about how they should celebrate. What sounds good to him? You...
and me...in each other's arms. Does that sound good to her? Yeah.

Tess tells Azure that when the story hit the paper, the reporters 
jumped all over her and Jared jumped in and pulled the agency 
out from under her. Tess asks when she first knew she was a girl...
Azure says ever since she can remember. They talk and Tess tells 
her that Jared is behind all this. Does Bernardo know? Yes, Tess 
says, why? She runs off. Tess asks Buck for a double tequilla. 
Drinking won't help. She justs wants to take the edge off. They 
talk about their friendship. Tess just wants a dull moment. Just 
one, pelase. The police show up and tell her she's under arrest.

For what? Buck asks. For one thing, those things, the cops says, 
pointing to the bags Tess was carrying. She's been paying with 
funny money, the cop says. She's been passing counterfeit $100 
bills all over town, he adds.

Danny pounds on Jocelyn's door.

Nick puts on a slow song and he and Loraine dance. He takes off 
her dress. We see the record on the player. They're in bed, 
rolling around. She sits up, and removes her bra. They kiss. 
They change positions so that he's on top. They kiss. Back to 
the record. We sees hands, carassing a face. Segue to them 
laying down like spoons, back to the record.

Mike thanks Sydney. For what? she asks. She didn't tell him 
that Danny was packing a gun. Sydney goes to the desk to get
the money and the phone rings. It's Danny. She tells him that 
she can't talk, but in 5 minutes. She really needs him, she 
wispers to Danny. Mike tells her she's good. He almost 
believed she was scared. She pays him off. He says he wouldn't 
want to be her enemy. She tells him to remember that later.

Jared says phase one is over. Malcolm says that sure took enough 
time. Now ont to phase two. Jared says yes, but not with him. 
Someone is taking over his position at Chase Enterprises. Who? 
Does it matter? Jared asks. YES! Jared gives Malcolm his 
severance pay. Malcolm says he's not going to roll over and 
play dead. Jared says there's dead...and then there is *dead*. 
Malcolm says the police might not see it that way. Jared 
threatens Malcolm. Remember Samuleson, he says. Ah, yeah. An 
accident, Malcolm sighs. Jared tells him to be smart and 
play dead.

Tess is being read her rights. You have the right to remain 
silent...I don't want to be silent. I was set up. Anything 
you say can, and will, be used against you...I was set UP! 
You have the right to an attorney...I was SET UP! If you 
cannot afford an attorney...I WAS SET UP! ...one will be 
assigned for you. LISTEN! I  W A S  S E T  U P   B Y   
J A R E D   C H A S E.
