I+d complain about something in this line, but it+d only be redundant,
and I think you know what it is!

Danny is watching Ally who is showering with one glass wall and the
shower curtain half open.  The drain is apparently clogged, since we
get shots of her feet in a couple inches of water.  She gets out and
towels off.  She is wrapped in a towel, brushing her hair, in front of
a full length mirror and sees Danny in the reflection.  She starts
yelling at him to get out.  After the outdated opening, she is in a robe
and still yelling.  He claims he just came in when she saw him - he was
there to get some papers for Joc (they are in his hand), he called out and
no one answered so he was worried and came to check on her.  He leaves
in a huff at not being trusted.

Jacob is trying to turn over his check to a reluctant Tracy.  She excuses
herself to make a phone call.  While on the fake call, the good Tracy
argues with the bad Tracy over taking the check.  Good argues that the
money was for his dead son, bad argues that her son is alive and needs
it.  She goes back to Jacob and tells him to keep it.  She just talked to
her father and the Foundation is overfunded and they cannot accept more
money until the start of the next fiscal year.  Jacob doesn+t buy it.  Tracy
tells him it was a game, trying to get his money, but she can+t do it
because the money was his son+s.  The Collection Guy calls (I forgot his
name) and says he+s coming right over.  Jacob presses Tracy for the truth,
she breaks down and says she might lose her son, though not in the tragic
way Jacob lost his.  CG storms in and demands money or he+ll tell the world
she+s broke and owes $12,000.  She says she can+t go to jail, she has a 6
year old son, CG doesn+t care.  Jacob is watching all this, looking at CG
sorta pissed off.  (Cliffhanger)

Alex tells Jocelyn that he has no choice - he has to go to Florida.  Sandy
called again and things are getting worse.  Joc understands but Alex feels
guilty about not helping raise the kids.  Alex thinks it+s time they talk
about Ava and tells Joc that he and Ava had a good thing, but it wasn+t
strong enough to survive.  Joc worries that maybe Ava has changed and
things will be different.  Alex assures her that he hasn+t changed and he+s
only going there for the kids.  He leaves, but Jocelyn stays because she
told the prosecutor to call her there and let her know if he+s decided to
ease up on Tony and Carla.  The prosecutor calls - Jocelyn is stunned by
whatever he is saying.

At home, Danny is having a beer and a flashback to Ally in the shower.
Ally arrives, fully clothed, to apologize.  She knows he+s a changed man
and she treated him like the old Danny.  They joke, forgive each other, and
share a looong hug.  Ally goes to leave so she won+t run into Carla, and
runs into Jocelyn at the door.  She has *big* news about the court case
for Ally, Danny, Tony, and Carla.
