Wednesday in "the city"

Angie is talking to Jacob on the phone. Angie says it couldn't 
be quiter there.

Meanwhile, at the bar, Tess is getting arrested. She tells 
the police that Jared Chase gave her the money. Buck tries 
to stand up for her. Alex, Tony, and Ally come into the bar 
and are arguing about her joining the PI agency, sinse she's 
out of a job at the ad agency. They overhear Tess yelling 
that Jared Chase is ruining everyone's lives in the building.

Jared is on the phone. He wants Nick Rivers taken care of. 
Oh good, he says to someone we don't see. You're here.

Nick and Loraine are sleeping in bed.

Danny pounds on Sydney's door (I think yesterday I said it was
Jocelyn's...sorry...I was kinda sure he was yelling Jocelyn's 
name...). He tells her that Jared knows that about them. 
They're dead, Danny says.

Danny tells Sydney that the loan shark told him that Jared 
bought his marker and has been threatening him and his 
family. Danny says he's gonna get to Jared before he can 
get to either of them.

Tess says that Jared gave her counterfeit money. Tony, Alex, 
and Ally go over to talk to Tess. Alex tries to get the 
police to back off (they seem to know him). Tony realizes 
that Jared was in a hurry to get Tess out of the agency. 
Ally realizes that Tony thinks that Jared will make his 
move tonight. Tony tries to get her to promise not to get 
involved.

Jared is talking to a woman. He toasts the new head of 
Chase International. (The back of her head makes me think
of Azure...and she was going to go see him, wasn't she?)

Nick asks where she got the little tatoo. The little bird? 
In a town in Tennessee. Nick tells her about the time he 
was there. He laughs about the town that made him a 
minister. His drunk band found a church at 4am and sang 
every gospel song they knew. Then the real minister 
showed up with a task of red wine...it was for the 
communion. She asks if he drank it all. No, none of it. 
She asks if he misses that life.

Jared laughs about the good job that she did on the 
counterfeit money. Tess should be spending it about now. 

At the bar, Alex is trying to talk the police out of 
taking Tess in. The cop says he finds it hard to believe 
her story that Jared Chase gave her the funny money. The 
cop takes Tess in, Buck goes with her. Tony tells Alex 
they have to talk. Ally says, oh you want to be alone? 
Ally walks over and tells Angie (who just came into the
bar as the cops were taking Tess out) that Tess was 
arrested for passing counterfeit money. Ally adds that 
Jared Chase is behind everything. She tells Angie that 
Jared was behind the bomb that almost killed Frankie. 
Angie's eyes go wide.

Danny tells Sydney that it's time they called in the 
cops. Sydney says that won't work. Danny suggest they 
get a hit man. Sydney says you can't trust them. Danny 
says she's gonna get what she wanted...for him to kill 
Jared. But, he wants her to ask him. She begs him. He 
finally agrees, but is worried that the police spotlight 
will shine right on them. Not if they do it right, 
Sydney suggests.

Loraine gets out of bed to make supper. Not with the 
junk that he has in his refrig, Nick says. He'll go to 
the bar and get supplies for a week. This is nice, right? 
she asks. Yes, it is, he smiles.

Danny has second thoughts. Sydney says if he's not going 
to do it, she will. He will, Danny sighs. She'll be with 
him. He just can't believe that they're going to do it. 
She tells him that they have to do this tonight. Jared 
is planning to take her to the secret place tonight. She 
tells him to go to his apartment and she'll tell him 
where. She says that after tomorrow all their problems 
will be over. They hug.

Angie asks Ally when she found out about this. There's 
no proof, Ally says, she shouldn't have said anything. 
There's no way anyone can stop him. Angie says someone 
has to stop him. She leaves. Ally walks to the pool 
table. She remembers Tony telling her to promise to 
stay out of it. She easesdrops on Tony and Alex's plan 
for tonight. What if Jared is up there waiting? Tony 
says, it's up there and it's tonight. What is "it"? 
Alex asks. Tony's not sure, but it's big. It must be, 
Alex says, he's gone through enough to get whatever 
it is.

Tess in in a cell. Buck tells Tess that he can't get
ahold of Jocelyn, but he's got another lawyer working 
on getting her out. Buck suggests that they play 
lockup. She's the girlfriend of an outlaw, he suggests. 
Why does she have to be the bad girl? Cause they're 
prettier, Buck says. Tess says that she hates Jared. 
He should die for what he's done.

Jared tells the new head of Chase International that 
he has to leave now. He's taking an old friend of 
Sydney's out for a drink.

Nick runs into two guys, who grab him for a bring-your-
own-booze party, but not to worry, they have it covered. 
They drag Nick out of the building.
