 There's a knock at the door. Charles has drawn his weapon. He pulls the 
blanket back and helps Jacob stand up. He's woozy and needs support. 
Charles puts the handcuffs on JJ and hurries him out the backway. Knock, 
Knock, Knock...

Stephanie and Deborah return to the Gatehouse.
Deb: "Stephie, Sweetheart, stop treating me like an invalid. You heard the 
doctor, he said I'm fine now."
Steph: "No he did not. He said you're progressing nicely."
Deb doesn't want tea but she does want to talk to her daughter. She's 
still trying to get Steph to Paris. Deb says she's just moping around all 
the time. Steph says it's that Tess is working them too much and she's 
just tired. Changing the subject, she notices the pile of boxes. She 
thinks that Deb is ordering from catalogs. After denying they're hers, 
she says they're probably trash Lenox brought in from the big house.Clay 
comes into the room. 
Clay: "It is trash!"
Deb: "What in the world are you doing in my bedroom?"
Clay: "Garbage collecting. This stuff is all yours Deborah, it's moving day!"
Both women are surprised.

At the agency, Bree is watching someone doing cleansing breaths and says 
she'll go see what's taking Miss Wilder so long. Tess comes in with a 
hangover. "Don't talk to me, okay? Let's just do this and get it over with."
She's auditioning this guy, Turk, for the soda commercial. Bree starts by 
asking him to open the can. "It would be my pleasure." Bree says take the 
can. He looks at Tess,"My agent didn't say anything about props."
Tess: "It's not difficult, trust me. You speak, take the can and pop the 
top, that's it okay?"
Bree starts over. He takes the can but has trouble opening it. "Big hands!"
When he does get it open, it spews all over him! NEXT!

Stacey is at the reception desk. Buck meanders in and says hi. She tells 
him the kids miss him and asks if he's ready to talk. He doesn't want to 
talk there. He'll call her later. He came to see Tess, not Stacey.

Angie's in her office when the phone buzzes. "Yes. send him in." It's 
Jeremy who gives her a hug. He says he just heard about Charles taking 
Jacob out of the hospital at gunpoint. A doctor comes in and hands her 
the results of the lab test of Johnson's IV. There was enough poison in 
the bag to take out a small town.

opening credits

Steph starts to explain how Isabelle promised Cooper that Deb could stay 
until she was well. "Yes, well, that was before your mother decided to 
bring a lawsuit against AE!"( Surprise) Deborah tells how the research at 
the hospital( funded by AE) is geared toward men. Clay interrupts and 
says her things are packed and it's time to get out. Isabelle comes in 
and has been going over some reports. She's on Deborah's side! They go 
into the bedroom to talk. Clay was hoping Deb would stay with Stephie. 
She doesn't think it's a good time. He senses something is wrong.

Stacey wonders why Buck is there to see Tess. "That's between her and me."
She starts apologizing again for the bank loan but he's kind of cold 
towards her.

Angie's looking at the test results. Jeremy brings up the question of 
whether she thinks Charles put the poison in the IV. She says no. She 
tells Jeremy what Charles and Alex have been telling her about a 
conspiracy to kill Jacob and blame it on Charles. Jeremy wants to help, 
knowing that JJ has some of the poison in his system. She doesn't want 
Jacob to die!

Steph wonders if Clay had been in her room the night before and 
immediately drops the idea. Isabelle and Deb have reached a settlement. 
"How much is it going to cost me?" She's going to drop the law suit. 
Isabelle has promised that AE will re-appropriate more funds toward 
women's heart conditions. "That's it?" She's also offered the house in 
the Bahamas to Deborah! 
Clay: "You'll be right at home in those shark-infested waters." Deb and 
Isabelle leave to tell Cabot. Steph confides in Clay about the intruder.
Then she tries to pretend things are okay.

Tess is interviewing a few more guys for the commercial. 1) can't even 
remember the line. 2) is too full of himself. 3) says the line but, oops, 
he broke a nail trying to pop the top! 4)Very hopeful, says the line, 
pops the top, takes a sip, and spitting it out says "Oh man, this stuff 
really tastes like s---!"
The girls are really exhausted. "Tell me they're gone, are they really 
gone?" Tess asks for one of the sodas. Bree says, "Be my pleasure little 
lady," and they both crack up.

"You're going to audition for the hunk?" Stacey and Buck argue some more 
about how he's going to get the money for their house. She tries to tell 
him what Tess is trying to pull and asks if he's that stupid. Well she 
hurt his feelings and he leaves.

Jeremy asks if Angie has gotten close to Jacob Johnson. She admits being 
friends, but she can't keep up the front. She tells JH of her feelings 
that she's trying to hide. (Since when has Jeremy become a psychiatrist?)

Tess is telling Buck she had fun last night. He says he's there to take 
her up on her offer. She pretends not to understand. 
Buck: "The soda pop commercial? Is the job still open?"
Tess: "Well, actually, I was going to give it to a couple of former 
dancers from the Siegfried and Roy Show, but since you're here,"
He asks what he has to do. 
Tess: "Well, the other guys started by taking their shirts off, but I'm 
already familiar with your body."
Buck: "What do I have to do, Tess?" She hands him a paper and asks him to 
read it. She's so happy she's got the right guy!

Angie says she loves Charles.(Is she trying to convince herself or Jeremy?)
The phone rings and it's Charles. He won't tell her where he is. He says 
he knows someone is really trying to kill Jacob. Angie agrees but she 
can't get a word in. He hangs up before she can explain about the IV. 
Charles tells JJ he just needs food when he says his stomach hurts. He 
promises to get him a T-bone when they find a safe place.

Steph is walking by a car and stops. There are pictures of her in the 
towel ensemble and the words "LIKE TO WATCH YOU"........
