The Agency

The photographer is taking pictures of the snake with instructions
to get both the girl and the snake.  Tess is acting upset about
the publicity.  Tess wants someone to get the snake.  She orders 
Tony to do it.  Tony puts it in the shoe box...  Stephy says what
can God do to me next... enter Deborah...

A Gym

Charles is working out on one of those punching ball things...  
Frankie enters...he wants to talk.  Frankie says its about his mother
and Jacob.

Angie's office

Angie wants Jer to spill it.  Jer says Jacob has
been lying to her. Angie says she can't count the number of
lies Jacob has told her.  Jer says, well, you know that Jacob
came here seeking revenge on Charles?  Well
did you know that you were part of it from the beginning?
He came here because of you...

The Agency

Stephy explains to Deb about the stalker.  Deb freaks.  Stephy
says she wasn't gonna tell her cause she didn't want her upset.
deb is upset that she had been basking in the sun and a stalker
was after Stephy.  Deb wonders if Coop flew back from Paris.
Stephy admits that Coop doesn't know.  Deb says that Steph is out
of her mind.  Tony comes up and Steph introduces them.  She calls
him a refugee of Hooked on Phonics :-).  Tony makes a remark
about Deborah being Stephy's sister.  Deb eats it up...

A Gym

Frankie tells Charles that he stopped by and saw Jacob this
morning.  When he walked into Jacobs room it was like he was
a kid again walking into his dad's room before he died.  Charles
wants to know if there's a point to this.  Frankie says the
point is Jacob isn't his father.  Frankie tells how after Jesse
died he kept dreaming that it was all a mistake and that one day
Jesse would be back. Its not about taking someone's place.. he's
slow about realizing things.  Frankie wants to work together
otherwise he thinks Charles could loose Angie...

Angie's Office

Angie tells Jer that's impossible, Jacob didn't know Angie existed
before he got to Corinth.  Jer tells how Joe Martin saw the
sketch he did of Jacob.. he says that Jacob was in Dr. Joe's office
3 months ago and that he was a writer writing a story about Jesse
Hubbard and heard how they might be related.  Joe told Jer that
he told Jacob that Angie and Frankie lived in Corinth.  Angie 
wonders why Joe didn't call Angie.  Joe figured that Jacob was
related because of the resemblance.  Angie kicks herself for
falling for Jacob's lines.

The Agency

Tony follows Stephy to Bree's desk.  They spar.  Tony thinks
there's something phony about this stalker.  Tony wonders if
there might be someone here at the agency out to get her.. someone
jealous of her..someone who wants a little limelight to herself.
He looks meaningfully to Bree... Stephy is shocked and defends her.

Deb and Tess argue about the stalker. Deb says Tess is responsible
for encouraging the stalking... she saw the billboard on
the way from the airport...Stephy was practically naked! She says Tess should be
ashamed of using Stephy like she is.  Deb says if Steph is hurt
in anyway, she will hold Tess responsible.  Deb leaves and Tess
says Yes mommy-dearest and giggles...

The Gym

Frankie points out that Charles won't trust anyone.  Frankie
apologizes for being a creep to Charles.  He thinks Angie and
Charles should be together. Charles should get a move on it.
Don't let Jacob take mom ...  Frankie says if you back up you're
gonna loose.  Frankie says any fool can see there's a whole lot
between Angie and Jacob...

Angie's office

Jer tells Angie it's not her fault. Angie berates herself. She
kept forgiving all his lies.  She's furious.  He used Jesse.
There aren't words to describe...  Jer apologies.. he didn't realize
how much she cared about him.  Angie says she doesn't.  Jer tells
her not to lie to herself, there's too much at stake.

The Agency

Tony and Steph talk.  Stephy thinks that the idea that Bree is
the stalker is funny.  They spar.  Stephy says if Coop knew what
was going on he'd be home.  Tony can't believe she's keeping this
a secret from Coop.  He says that Stephy is sad.. Tony says atleast
he tries to give people a chance.. 

Tess is on the phone with Lucretia trying to kill the snake story.
She threatens lawyers.  Liable... invasion of privacy... Tess yells
and hangs up.. then smiles and says well, that ought to get her going...

The Gym

Charles tells Frankie if you love somebody enough you let them go.
Frankie says it sounds like a crock to him.  Frankie doesn't
want Charles to be dumb.  Frankie tells Charles that he told Jacob
that he wanted the best for his mom and that's Charles.  Charles
asks if that's whats best for Frankie?  Frankie says yeah, that
would be great...  they hug...

Angie's Office

Angie says the blinders are off, no more lies, not even to myself.
I should have listened to Charles... oh Charles... 
She talks about Jacob and how wonderful he seemed with the children..
and how he talked with such pain about his wife and kid.  
Angie says she has a character flaw..always out to see the good in
people.  She says Dr. Hubbard has been played but no more...
She says she will always be grateful to Jer...he's kept her from
making what may have been the worse mistake of her life.  They hug.
She calls Cheryl... she asks if Mr. Johnson is still doing well?
Good.. I'm on my way over.. there`s something I need to tell the patient..
Oh... this is something I have to tell the patient in person...
