At the Receptionist Desk at the Agency

Frankie is videotaping Bri and she wants him to stop.  She
says it makes her really nervous cause she's not exactly
Stephy Brewster.  He says what are you talking about, you're
gorgeous!  She wants to borrow the camera so she can get this
moment on tape.

In Tess's Office

Stephy tells Tess that her mother is getting better. Tess asks
if Steph is ok.. Stephy says she's not purging if that's what
she's wondering. Tess says she's just concerned about her. Tess
says since you're stuck here I can line up a couple of jobs for
you.  Steph says she's not stuck here she's taking care of her mother.
They argue and Steph stomps out...

At the Hospital

Jacob enters Deb's room.  She sees him.  Jacob says I knew you`d
do anything to get out of work...  Deb says she is concerned about
the bistro.  Jacob tells her not to worry.  They're taking care
of everything.  

At the Police Station

Alex and Charles question A kid named Eddie trying to find out
who gave him the stuff he is high on.  Alex says he hates paperwork.
He has nightmares about it.  Charles says that he's found a few
holes in Jacob's story.  He made another call to his FBI buddy.
Alex says "...AND?"  Charles says "This Johnson is a liar."

opening credits.

Frankie apologies for embarrassing her. He only said she was
gorgeous like a director would say how she looked on camera.
Frankie stammers around, he doesn't want her to get the wrong
idea, they work together, and he doesn't want her thinking
that he was trying to hit on her.  Bri says and here I thought
you were going to ask me out.  Frankie is open mouthed.

Eddie, stoned, asks Alex if he can have his candy bar.  Alex gives
it to him. He asks Charles why Johnson is a liar.  Charles says
Johnson doesn't have a sister (he claimed she had a-plastic anemia).
He found this out from previous employment records showing
that Jacob Johnson had no next of kin.
Alex says lying about a sister is not against the law. Charles
says he's not talking about the law, he's dirty.  Alex says his
record comes up clean.  Alex says he can't go around harassing
the guy. Charles denies he's harassing...  Alex says Charles is
lucky that Jacob didn't bring him up on charges.  Charles is
suspicious about this.  He doesn't know why he let it slide, it
was like he wanted it that way.

Jacob asks Deb what gives... Deb says she doesn't feel like joking
around.  Deb tells him about the angiogram...she is worried.
She explains that they put a tiny flashlight through the veins
to see what's wrong with the heart.  Jacob is shocked, but tries
to get her to understand that it's good and she will make it
through it.  He tells her she's tuff.  She stared down the armed
robber and she'll get through this standing on her head.  Deb
says you don't know what it feels like when your whole body turns
on you and you feel like you're going to die.  Jacob tells her
she won't die. Deb is scared, she doesn't think she can make it
if it happens again.  Stephy enters and Jacob makes his goodbyes.

Stephy asks Deb how she's feeling. No different says Deb.  
Stephy says she's taking care of the Bistro.  She tells deb
she's not going to Paris until Deb is better.  Deb doesn't
understand, what about Coop?  Steph confesses that Coop
left for Paris yesterday.  Deb is left open mouthed.

Alex sends Eddie off with another guard... Eddie says he needs
to call his dog... Alex wants him out of there...  Charles says`
he needs to find out what Jacob is up to.  Alex is getting
exasperated... but he thinks he knows how Charles feels... 
but he thinks he's way off base with Johnson... he says he hasn't
so much as spit in the street...  Charles asks do you think
I should drop it?  Alex reminds him they have a big drug case
here.  He says Charles head was some place else when they were
questioning Eddie.  He says he's his friend as well as his partner.
Charles says Jacob looks just like Jesse... he could buy the story
if he didn't, that's why he can't let it go.. he looks just
like Jesse and that's just one coincidence too many...

Frankie says "...ask you out??"... Bri says he doesn't have to..
Jacob enters... they talk. Tess comes out and breaks things up.
Frankie apologies if he got Bri in trouble.  Bri tells him
not to worry about it.  "Yes" says Bri.  "I'd love to be in the
video and Yes, I'd love to go out with you..."

Jacob is in Tess's office. `She compliments his music again.
He asks if they're in business, he'll make the time. He won't
burn her.  Tess hires him.  It's a chain of coffee houses...
she gives him a sheet of paper.  She says this is for a rich
guy who really just likes to sleep with the models..it's Stephy...
He questions that...  she tells him not to worry about it.
Tess asks for a list of his credits for her client.  Jacob isn't
giving her any info.  You won't let anyone in, will you, asks Tess.

Deb can't believe Coop left. Stephy says she made him...it was
his whole idea, he had to go.  Deb doesn't understand why Stephy
didn't go.  Stephy says she's taking care of Deb.  Deb wants
her to go pack a bag and get the first plane to Paris.  She
insists that there is tons of staff to take care of her.  Stephy
says that Stephy will take care of her.  Coop and her love eachother
and being apart for a little while isn't going to change that.
They hug and Deb cries.

Jacob questions what Tess wants to know.  Tess says he tap dances
around answers cause he's hiding something.  Tess says maybe the
past is just too painful to talk about.  This stops Jacob.
Am I getting warm she wonders? I guess we all have our little secrets
he says...

Charles tells Alex he will be cool. Alex says what are going to do now?
Charles says he's gonna let out just a little bit of rope, and
watch Mr. Johnson hang himself....

hey!-it's-a-hanging-hanger!-hanger
