Angie and Jacob come to visit Nick.  After some bantering, Lorraine goes
with Angie back to her loft.   Jacob and Nick talk, revealing that Nick
is an ordained minister during some stories about Nick+s past antics.
Jacob notes that Nick has done a lot in his life Nick says he plans on
doing a lot more.  Jacob gets the idea that Nick can help him become
an honest man.  They talk about a surprise wedding using a welcome
home party for Nick as the excuse.

Lorraine tells Angie that Buck is going to get Nick a full-time nurse. 
 Angie
thinks she may know someone, but Lorraine is going to do it herself.  She
asks Angie to stop underestimating her - now that she+s no longer drinking
she realizes that she can do anything she wants.  Angie apologizes and
offers her support.  Lorraine then treats Jesse+s widow to a talk about how
she should appreciate Jacob and make every day count, since you can+t
know what will happen and how long you+ll have.

Sydney is trying to get Danny to go to London with her.  She wants to
be there by the end of the week.  He+s reluctant at going that soon because
he has to break it to his family and is worried about Joc.  He+s also 
worried
about Molly.  He says she stood behind him through all his troubles and he
doesn+t want to spring it on her (he never says he doesn+t want to go).  Syd
tells him that she+s making room for him, not him and a girlfriend.  She 
tells
him she doesn+t want a boy toy (yeah, right), she wants a full partner. 
 They
can travel all over Europe.  She tells him it+s one time offer and he can+t 
have
it both ways.  He worries that Molly is too fragile now to take it.

Molly is warning Tommy about people coming over and how he has to
keep quiet.  She then tells them that she can no longer call him.  When
he worries about the call being traced, she tells him it+s okay, she+s on
a borrowed phone (Carla+s).

Meanwhile, a mocking Carla is singing "Life is a Masquerade".  She
notices her phone is missing and accuses one of Tony+s "low life friends"
of taking it.  Ally asks if she keeps it nearby to make her one call to 
Daddy.
Carla is impressed by "Miss Clairol+s" remark and opines now they+ll
have to wait a decade for her next witticism.  Tony, the only one saying
he or she when referring to the Masquerader, realizes that M may have
taken it and they can trace it.  He has Carla call her phone, which is busy.
He then tells her to call the phone company, tell them it was stolen and
have them trace the call.  They are able to trace it in less than a minute
in a remarkable display of no red tape.  It+s going to Portland.  Carla
wants to call Daddy and have the whole problem taken care of in a week.
Tony tells her no, he doesn+t want Gino involved.  She wants to go to The
Plaza for safety+s sake.  This prompts Tony to worry about the safety of
Ally.  He wants her to stay with uncle Alex, she feels safer across the hall
from Tony.  Carla interrupts to tell Tony that SHE+s the one he needs to
worry about - if anything happens to her, Gino will kill him.  He calls her
cell number again - Molly picks it up, hits the SEND button and almost
talks before realizing what she+s doing and shuts it off.  Ally says she+s
going home. and Tony offers to walk her there.  They start getting cuddly
in the hall, and the FBI guy comes up and offers to walk Ally in Tony+s
place.  Tony goes home and Carla puts on an act about being scared and
happy he+s home and snuggles up to him on the couch.

Molly is holding up a slinky red nightgown and planning on having
Danny all to herself.  She+s packing the usual romantic getaway stuff -
sexy lingerie, perfume, rope.  The show ends with Molly+s psychotic
smile.
