Shortly before 1:00 in the city:

Zoey and Richard are with Angie at the hospital.  They were able to stop
the bleeding, but she doesn+t think he+s a candidate for a transplant.  In
the next scene, Lorraine has appeared - she+s angry with Angie.  It seems
the doctors won+t waste a transplant on someone as sick as Nick (Angie
put this more tactfully).  Lorraine walks off and Jacob *reading my mind*
(apparently TPTB are lurking in my head as well as on-line) protests
against killing the messenger.  Jacob thinks they should let Lorraine see
Nick first, but Richard pulls rank, telling Jacob that he is Nick+s son and
only biological relative.  (For those who can+t watch the show, Jacob has
been looking really great lately!)  Jacob thinks Nick should be told, Angie
agrees but says it+s not their call.  The two comfort each other with a hug.
Meanwhile, Richard is sending out calls on his cell phone trying to find
help.  Zoey gets a call on the pay phone, she has been checking on the
reputation of Nick+s doctor - it turns out he+s one of the best.  In the
hospital chapel, Lorraine is trying to convince God that Nick is a good
man and is needed.  She begs for a miracle.  Outside in the hallway,
Angie tells Jacob that if it had been him, she wouldn+t have reacted just
like Lorraine.  Lorraine comes up and tells them that Nick+s doctor said
the same thing as Angie and apologizes - Angie hugs her.

Richard enters Nick+s room where a nurse is straightening up.  She tells
him she+s a Nick Rivers fan and that he was the best.  Richard corrects
her - *is* the best.  She leaves to find someone else to comfort.  Nick
opens his eyes to Richard and Zoey (who just came in) and says +Looks
like I made it.+  (Ending scene)

Ally is very upset at the faxed threat to Tyler.  Tony is angry and is going
to go have it out with Gino, Ally insists on coming along.  On the way out
they meet Danny who asks if they know where his sister is.  They tell him
that she+s at Alex+ and he asks if they can think of anything worse than
being trapped in a wall.  They just stare at him because they obviously can.

A hooded Molly vows to make Sydney pay.  She picks up the phone, which
is saying +If you need help, please dial the operator...+  She puts it to 
her ear
and asks  +But what do I do about Danny?+  She continues telling +Mom+
that she and Danny love each other and that she+ll take care of them.  She
drops the phone on the bed and Tony and Ally enter arguing loudly about
Ally coming with to Gino+s.  By the time they get to where Molly is in view,
she has taken off the cloak and she tells them she+s just finishing up a 
call
to her mom.  Ally walks out followed by Tony.

Gino and Carla are in a men+s club talking (apparently they don+t allow
women but Carla doesn+t care).  They bicker about the marrying Tony
plan.  Carla pulls out the big guns and says Mama wouldn+t like it.  Gino
says to leave her out of it.  He tells her she+s the princess, but he+s the 
king.
Tony and Ally arrive and Tony throws the fax at Gino and starts yelling
at him.  Ally asks him how can he use the word family when he+s threatening
a little boy.  Gino says if he looks weak, the other families would go after
him.  Tony tells Gino that he swears on his grandpa+s life that if anything
happens to Tyler, he+ll come after him himself.    Gino says he wouldn+t get
the chance, and the only way out of this stupid, contrived, plot dev.... I 
mean
out of this mess is a wedding.  Instead, Tony says he+ll go to court, refuse 
to
testify and just go to jail for contempt.  Gino doesn+t like the idea.  Tony 

takes Ally aside and tells her if he went to jail, he couldn+t protect 
Tyler.
He tells Gino that he+ll go along with it even though it+s wrong.  Gino and
Carla head out and she tells him that her whole live is ruined, she might as
well kill herself.  He tells her there+s a gun in the car and asks her not 
to
make a mess (those wacky mobsters!).  She goes out and he gets a phone
call on his cell phone.  He tells the phone that the picture of the kid did 
just
what it was supposed to and who would ever know that it was just a bluff.

Back inside, Tony and Ally are extremely bummed out.  He says the wedding
date is perfect - Friday the 13th.

Danny is talking to Jocelyn on the phone when his psycho girlfriend, who
may not understand about having someone actually on the other end,
knocks and calls in +Danny, it+s me!+  (Updater+s rhetorical question: Does
anyone ever do this?  I always knock and wait for an answer - on soaps, they
always seem to knock and start yelling through the door right away).  The
*way* too perky Molly tells Danny that rehearsal went well and they+ll be
no more late rehearsals.  She asks if he was working with Sydney, he lies
and says no.  She then notices the monitor, which Danny thinks it a TV.
She tells him she can tell it+s a monitor by the wiring and he+s surprised
that she knew electrical stuff.  She tells him, in the understatement of the
year, +there+s a lot about me that you don+t know.+  She turns on the 
monitor
and the perky smile fades.    He tells her she is an open book, which she
doesn+t exactly take as a compliment, though he seems to mean it that way.
Later, they are in bed, Molly is watching Danny sleep.  She tells him that
everybody would get what they deserve - even him.  And then, she+ll finally
be happy.
