Apparently, it+s finally the 26th in The City:

Ally repeats that a husband can+t be forced to testify against his wife. 
 The
rest of the gang (including Tony who+s usually quicker than this) are 
clueless
as to what she means.  When she clues them in, everyone ridicules the idea,
except Gino who wants to hear more about it.  Alex thinks the Feds would
catch on to the plot, but Gino still likes the idea.  They split into two 
camps -
 Gino tries to convince Carla, while Ally tries to convince Tony.  Gino 
wants
to discuss wedding plans.  Alex wants to talk to Jocelyn first and wonders
where she is.  Gino pulls rank and tells them to clear their calendars - 
there+s
going to be a wedding!  Gino, Carla, and Joey leave.

Angie, Jacob, Tess, and Buck are sitting around a table at Buck+s place. 
 Angie
is going into detail about Nick+s internal bleeding.  The others seem to 
think
that he+s safe because Richard gave blood.  She says he is - for tonight. 
 They
discuss how weird it would be not to have Nick around - he was there the 
first
day at The City Bar.  Angie says there+s a chance he+ll pull through if he 
gets
a new kidney.  (BTW, Jacob looks great - he+s hair is longer and braided) 
 Angie
says she tired and Tess says she hasn+t slept either - today is the day she 
dies
according to the obit.  Angie asks if Tess would like something to help her
sleep, but she declines.  Angie and Jacob head to bed.  Buck and Tess are
playing poker to pass the time.  As a diversion, they decide to move on to
everyone+s favourite - strip Candyland.  Before they get started, Angie sits
up in bed, screaming.  They run to the bedroom door, where Jacob assures
them it was just a bad dream.  They go back to the game.  Angie tells Jacob
she remembered being in the agency when Jared was killed and saw a strange
hooded figure, but she didn+t see a face, just "a shadow in a hood."   Back
in Candyland, Buck has lost his shirt and is losing his belt.  Tess 
apparently
isn+t distracted by this as she notices it+s past midnight and she+s still 
alive.
They hug.

Spread out over several scenes, Sydney tells Richard that her and Nick+s 
baby
didn+t die.  She gave him up for adoption because at the time it seemed the 
best
thing to do - she was alone, unemployed, etc.  She tells him Jared knew, 
that
if she hadn+t given up the baby, he wouldn+t marry her.  In disbelief, 
Richard
restates that she gave up her own child for Jared Chase  Richard doesn+t 
under-
stand, and Sydney tells him she+s ashamed of the decision and has regretted 
it,
but she was desperate.  She tells him she stayed with Jared because he 
threatened
to tell Richard and Nick.  He says he+ll help her find her son, but she 
tells him
she knows where he is.  She tells him she kept track of him, even after he 
went to
live with his adoptive parents halfway around the world, in Australia.  He 
stares
a her stunned as she tells him that he is her son.

Meanwhile, the Masquerader, in a long hooded cape-like coat and black 
leather
gloves - steps over Jocelyn+s prone body.  M goes to the PC with the world+s
largest font, and deletes Happy.doc, grabs the printouts, puts them on a 
glass
table and sets them on fire.  M then grabs Joc by the arms and starts 
pulling her
away.  When Jocelyn comes to, she+s in a tiny space.  She starts screaming 
for
help and pounding on the wall and from the outside we see M finish spackling
up the wall.(which means the spackle is still wet and the wall could be 
kicked
out, but while The City may be groundbreaking, I doubt if they+re gutsy 
enough
to have a trapped woman do something sensible to save herself.)

The promo during GH (after a commercial where Tricia dyes her hair blonde):

Buried alive was Jocelyn+s plight,        (white queen and bishop, Joc in 
wall)
Saved by Alex, her white knight,         (bishop sinks into square)
Through countless clues, he must sift,  (2 chess clocks with hands spinning 
around)
While Sydney+s left without a lift.        (square opens up and white queen 
falls through)
