Today's episode finds us with 3 storylines:

Clay Comes Clean	with Clay and Cabot
Jesse2 Comes to Corinth with Jesse2, Buck and the Rodeo Bar crowd

[Clay Comes Clean]

Clay and Cabot are in the living room at the Alden Mansion.  Clay is seated 
in his wheelchair telling Cabot that their whole relationship has been 
a lie!  Clay launches into his inadequacies as Cabot's son.  Cabot tries
to deny everything but Clay won't let him.  Clay plantively asks Cabot why
he never loved him?  Cabot, much more humble and warm since his return 
after the stroke, tells Clay that he's always loved him.  But Clay's not
buying it.  He brings up his natural father, Tim Sullivan.  Cabot thought
they were past that.  No, Clay can't get past it.  Growing up Cabot lied
to him, never told him about Sullivan, and always took it out on him.

Cabot sight, sits on the couch and haltingly tells Clay that it was never
Clay ... it was himself!  He could never get over the fact that Isabelle
had loved another man.  He tried, but he couldn't.  He knew Isabelle was
pregnant when he married her, but he loved her, he couldn't let her go.
Clay whines a bit more about how Cabot loved Anne, his own flesh and 
blood, but never him!  Cabot finally gets throught to Clay, and he seems
to start believing that Cabot actually cares for him.  At this point
Clay tells Cabot that there are other lies he needs to explain ...

It started out as a means to protect myself, but it's ended up imprisoning
me ...

Outside the living room, the doorbell rings and Lenox answers it to find 
Deborah.  She insists on seeing Mr. Alden.  ... I'm sorry Madam, he's left
instructions not to be disturbed.  ... Not Clay!  I mean Cabot. ... He
is busy in a business meeting ... Lenox grabs her and tries to push her 
out the door as she struggles against him ...

Inside, Clay tells Cabot everything.  About him being able to walk, Deborah
actually running him down, hating Cooper, the deal with Cooper, Cooper
not sleeping with Deborah, Clay staying away from Steffi.  He thinks 
Cabot will dispise him and turns to walk out the door when Cabot remains
silently sitting on the couch recovering from confession ...

Outside Deborah and Lenox are really fighting.  She's hitting him over
the head with her big enelope of incriminating evidence against Clay
and he's forcefully trying to evict her ... the last scene is the two
of them laying on the floor, Deborah closest to the living room doors
as Lenox has hold of her ankle impeding her prone progress towards Cabot.

Inside, Cabot stops Clay.  Instead of the brow beating Clay is expecting,
Cabot tells him that he's PROUD of him!  It takes a big man to admit his
mistakes.  They embrace.  Cabot goes to the door to find Deborah struggling
with Lenox.  (Gee, wonder how long till these two end up in bed??)  
Cabot tells Lenox that it's all right, he will talk to Deborah and Lenox
leaves.  Deborah peevishly hands him the envelopes and tells him that 
although it grieves her to do so, she has to give him these so he will
learn about his son Clay!  At this point the camera pans into the living
room where we see Clay *standing* as he sarcastically asks Deborah ...
Would you like me to slip that tape into the VCR for you Deborah? ...

[Jesse2 Comes to Corinth]

Jesse2 is beside his broken down car on the road, right beside the "Welcome
to Corinth" sign.  He's still dressed in his all black wardrobe, black
jeans, black turtle neck, long black leather overcoat, the only hint of
color being two silver chains hung around his neck, the lower one a 
silver cross and the higher one a round ball of some sort, and an earring
in one ear.  He's contemplating bashing the engine with a crowbar as a
truck pulls up.  Low and behold, it's our own knight errant, Buck Huston.
Jesse2 holds up the crowbar for protection as Buck approaches.

Buck puts him at ease, looks at the engine, pronounces it dead and offers
Jesse2 a ride, which he refuses saying ... Why should I trust a guy who
offers a ride to a total stranger? ... Buck shrugs ... Suit yourself ...
and turns to leave.  Jesse2 weighs his options and decides to accept the
offered rescue.  They banter in the car, Jesse2 calling Buck a cowboy,
Buck laughlingly agreeing.  Buck tells him that he'll take him to the
Rodeo.  Yeah, right the Rodeo - no the Rodeo Bar.

Meanwhile at the Rodeo Bar, Ava and Alex are on a date.  But Charles
crashes as he's anxiously awaiting Angie's arrival.  Ava invites him
to join them.  Stacey also arrives waiting to meet Buck.  

Buck and Jesse2 arrive at the Rodeo Bar.  Jesse2 leaves to go to the
bathroom and Angie finally comes in and is all lovey dovey with Charles.  
She wants to skip dinner and go straight home, which Charles is all up 
for.  :)   They walk towards the door as Jesse2 comes out of the bathroom.
He looks up and sees Angie walking arm in arm with Charles.  They pause
a moment and we think she will turn and see him, he stands frozen 
anticipating the moment, but she doesn't turn and instead walks out the
door with her head leaning against Charles's shoulder .... Jesse2
simply stares after her ...

That's it for Tuesday!
