Wednesday, on "the city":

Alex and Jocelyn come in to the bar. Alex doesn't think 
this is a good idea. The doctor said she needs to rest. 
She just came out of a sealed closet, Jocelyn says; the 
*last* thing she wants is to close her eyes. They sit
down and she thanks him for saving her, and she goes to 
kiss him. Danny interrupts. She scared him, he says. 
How is she? Alex tells Danny that the doctor says she
was dehydrated, that's all. What's he doing here? 
Jocelyn asks, Sydney doesn't give long lunch hours.
Sydney is at the hospital, Danny says. He was looking 
for Molly. In this building, Danny sighs, when you 
can't find someone....

In Sydney's place (?), Molly is talking to the photo of 
Sydney and Jared, as if it were her mother. "Mom, Jared 
was in the way, he asked too many questions, and they 
told him that I wasn't Molly Malone, but I *am* her, NOW." 
Then, she talks to Jared, and tells him that his 
grieving widow will join him soon.

Sydney says this is not the time to talk about this. 
Nick says this is definately the time.

Come on, Sydeny, Nick prompts, the truth. She's told 
him parts of the story, she says. He wants the whole 
story. She tells him that a few days after he left, 
she found out she was pregnant. Why didn't she tell 
him? Nick asks. She didn't think that he wanted to 
know. She had been dating Jared, platonically; 
dinners once in a while. And she didn't tell him? 
Nick asks. Not right away. She finally did, and he 
didn't mind. He just didn't want to raise someone 
else's kid.

Jocelyn says Danny's gonna drown her; no more water, 
please. He's just following doctor's orders. Molly 
shows up and Danny wants to know where she was. He
was worried. She tells him she's fine. Molly asks 
where Alex is. Jocelyn says that he's talking to 
the police people to see if they can find the 
Happy Now document. Molly goes ashen and says she 
thought once a file was deleted it was gone. No, 
there's a chance they can get it back. Alex comes 
back and Jocelyn asks what the word is. Alex says 
there is word. Molly looks worried.

Tony and Ally are outside the license place. A 
bride-to-be in a beautiful wedding gown asks Ally 
to hold her bouquet while she fixes her makeup. The 
bride tells Ally and Tony that when it's time for 
them to get married, Ally has every right to be 
nervous. The clerk calls for Tony, but Carla's not 
there yet. The clerk says if the future Mrs. Solieto 
is not here when she gets back, this special 
appointment is over. Carla finally comes in, with 
a bodyguard. Tony tells her she's late, and he asks
her who that (the bodyguard) is. She says doesn't 
matter, and Carla asks why Ally is here. Tony says 
because he wants her to be here. She complains about 
almost everything, and the clerk comes back and says 
this must be the happy bride.

So, Jocelyn asks. What did they say? Deleted, no 
trace. Jocelyn is trying to rack her brain. Molly 
asks if she remember anything. Names, mostly; Jocelyn 
says; her name and Ally's name. The rest is a blank. 
Danny suggests she rest. Alex says he'll take care 
of that. Danny and Molly leave. Alex suggests to 
Jocelyn that they get a movie and jelly beans. She 
likes that idea. Then, he'll take her up to his place,
Alex suggests.

Tony gives his form back to the clerk, and Carla does 
too. Solieto and Solieto, hum the clerk says. They're 
cousins, Tony says. The clerk reminds them about a 
little biology. Carla interrupts and says she's adopted. 
The clerk wants proof. Carla snaps her fingers and the 
guy produces the papers. All's in order, the clerk says. 
Who *is* this guy? Tony asks. Guido, Carla says, get 
used to him, he's very protective. So, when were they 
thinking of getting married? the clerk asks. There is 
a 24 hour waiting period, she adds. Tomorrow, Tony says. 
She'd wait, the clerk suggests. Carla says they *have* 
to get married. The clerk says she understands about 
*having* to get married, but the baby won't mind a 
one day wait. Tony says what baby? Carla gushes about 
the one romantic night, and the baby that produced, 
and she asks Ally if she understnads. 

Danny tells Molly that he's thinking about moving out 
of the dorm room he's sharing with Tony and Alex with the
sneaking her up to his place. What does she think? Molly 
is bubbling and says that it's wonderful! When do they 
move? she asks.

Sydney tells Nick that Jared wanted her to have an 
abortion, but she wouldn't. So, she gave the baby to 
a very good couple. And, Nick adds, she never thought 
to tell him.

Sydney says she knows that he's angry with her now. 
He's very angry, but that doesn't give her the right 
not to tell him just because she thought that he 
wouldn't give a damn. Does he want her to beg? Sydney 
asks. Part of him does, Nick says, but he looks at her 
and what she has and what she gave away, and then he 
looks at what he has and he feels pity for her. She 
was hoping he'd understand, Sydney sighs. He 
understands, Nick says.

Carla gives Ally a hard time. The clerk tells them 
tomorrow that they'll be Mr. and Mrs. Solieto and 
they won't have to change their monograms. Carla 
and Guido leave and Tony tells Ally that it'll be 
okay, they still have each other. They leave and 
the clerk is watching them leave.

Danny explains to Molly that he's moving out, not 
her. She is crest fallen. He wants her to help him 
find a place, since she'll be over a lot. She 
cheers up a little. He wants her to help with the 
decorating. She smiles. He wants to slow down on 
their relationship, though. She's not happy. Where 
will he find a place? she asks. He thinks Sydney 
has some property around the area and he's hoping 
that she'll cut him a deal. Molly turns from him 
and says she's sure Sydney will give him a *deal*. 
She gets pissed off. Danny tells Molly that Sydney 
is going through a hard time right now. Danny 
offers to get some listings and they can go over 
them together. Molly agrees. Danny leaves. Molly 
goes to the pay phone and calls a psychiatric 
clinic. She asks to talk to someone.

In Jocelyn's apartment, Alex tells Jocelyn that 
she can pick up a few things, and then they'll go 
to his place. He's gonna call Sandy. Sandy? Jocelyn 
says. Yeah, Sandy, his son. Sandy...Sandy, Jocelyn 
is thinking about soemthing. Jocelyn says that 
Sandy was on the list. Alex puts the phone down. 
No, not Sandy; Sandra. She thought it was weird, 
since all the others were victims. Sandra? Alex 
asks. Who's that...

Molly says, Hi, It's Sandra. (She's talking to a 
patient.) She asks if anyone has been asking about 
her since the last time. No, the guy says, not 
since the last guy who said Mr. Chase sent him. 
If anyone asks about her, Sandra/Molly says, you 
know what to say. Nothing, he knows nothing, the 
guy says. Right, Molly/Sandra says. Because Jared
made you mad so you did something bad, he says. 
Shhhhhhh, Molly/Sandra says, someone might hear 
you. She's got some things to do and then Molly 
Malone will have eveything that will made her 
happy. The guy says she'll marry Danny, then 
she'll be happy. How's his bird, Charlie McCarthy? 
He had an accident, Molly/Sandra says; NY is a 
dangerous place. Danny comes over and asks who 
she's talking to. Her mother, Molly lies. Oh, 
Danny says, great, he'd like to meet her. Molly 
says into the phone that she'll call again soon 
and it was nice talking to her again. She hangs up. 
Danny says he wanted to talk to her mother. Molly 
gives some excuse and says everyone has some secrets.
