Debbie's busy, so I filled in for her. I'll be back tomorrow, I guess, too.

Ally plays the tape from Casey's answering machine. Tyler comes in and she tells 
him that it's nice to hear his voice some times, but it would be nicer if he was 
here, but wishes just don't make it so. Ally remembers at the park, after Danny 
had taken her from the airport, she begged him to let her go, they left her 
child at the airport. Danny tells her that she owes him, he let her go once, but 
he's not making the mistake again. She tells Tyler that those bad people can't 
hurt them anymore and the people who hurt Casey, they will be punished.

Ava tells someone in the dressing room that she likes this one. The lady says it 
fits, if she holds her breath. Ava says come on, she is a perfect size 5. The 
lady asks if bold-faced lies come with the service? Yes, Ava says, but not in 
this case. The lady says she'll be sure to tell management about her, she's 
good. Ava says she'll tell herself - she's the owner. Ava asks what she does. 
She's in the most hated profession. Oh, Ava says, a lady lawyer.

Charles is trying to get Alex to help him. This is tough ...they're trying to 
pick out a ring for Angie.

There is a pounding on the door. Steffi, in a slip, is startled. Okay, wise guy, 
Tony shouts, pounding on the door, open up!

Tony's pounding on the door. She tells him to go away. Good, she's alive, Tony 
says. He's a jerk, she says. OPEN THIS DOOR! She opens the door. Is he trying to 
get her thrown out? If she'd open the door, he wouldn't have to make such a 
racket. He tells her that she is not trustworthy. From now on, if she has to go 
to the bathroom, he goes with her, or she doesn't go! She flops onto the bed. He 
tells her that she has a personality disorder. He asks if she has PMS. He heard 
about a woman that killed someone because of the PMS. She whimpers. He says he 
understands, and she can be neurotic, but he's not the bad guy, he's trying to 
protect her. And he promises that the minute the stalker is out - he's gone. She 
cries, why can't he go NOW? He says that she should go see a doctor...not only 
is she weird, she has a death wish. She says after him, death would be a releif.

Alex says he's the wrong Masters to ask about rings....Charles needs Ava. 
Charles says he wants something special. Charles points one out. That's a year's 
salary! Alex says. That's all? Charles syas...not enough. Alex tells him that 
Casey gave Ally a plastic one and she wore it proudly, all the time...they talk 
about Casey and how Danny is out and how they can't believe Graham could do 
that. He was a cop...he was a friend. Alex says he and Joseline will butt heads 
about this. Charles tells him to watch that one. Charles says they're starting 
to look the same. Alex is going to go get the ring expert, Ava. She'll pick one 
out for you before you can say...Charles says "I can't afford that?" Yup, Alex 
says, way before that.

Ava and Joseline talk about being a woman in a man's business. Joseline says 
"Let me guess, your male successor was bold and agressive, you're a word that 
rhymes with witch?" Ava agrees. They bond. Ava asks her what kind of case is she 
working on. It's pro bono. What's that? Ava asks. In latin that means for the 
good...in lawyer's terms it means she doesn't get paid. She's doing it as a 
favor. Ava thinks that's good. Not if she knew the details, Joseline says. She's 
doing it for her mother. Ava says she knows how that is, she does a lot of 
things for her mother. Alex says he heard that. Come in, we're decent. Ava goes 
to introduce them and Alex says "What the hell are you doing here?" Ava looks 
surprised.

Alex fills Ava in on the details (and some are new to Joseline, too) He tells 
them that she's Danny's sister and she got Danny out. Joseline says just want 
any good lawyer would do... Alex continues that the first thing he did was walk 
to Ally's house. Joseline is surprised.

Ally, with Tyler in her arms, walk onto the porch. There is a rose. Ally looks 
around. She remembers Danny bringing her flowers. He says he is sorry. She says 
why? Because he's walking around and Casey is dead? That's why she's sorry.  She 
crushes the rose and drops it. 

Charles is trying to describe Angie to the lady behind the counter. It's got to 
be special...like that one! That's it!

Tony tells Steffi that the wacko could have followed you, he could be under the 
bed. We see the room from the closet, again. Steffi sighs and says why didn't 
she go with Cooper to Paris? Would have, could have, Tony says, it'll get you no 
where. She says she's had it, she's out of here. She flings open the door, and 
is greated with flash cameras and reporters asking questions. She freezes in 
shock.

Joseline asks what Danny did to Ally. You mean after he delivered flowers and 
tried to talk to her?Alex screams. That's not against the law, she says. She 
says Mrs. Bowman didn't file a complaint. Alex screams he did. There is now a 
restraining order out against him. Alex yells some more. The lawyer tells him 
not to talk to her like that. She appologizes to Ava and leaves. Ava tells Alex 
to calm down before he gets kicked off the case. He calms down. She says it's 
too bad...she kinda liked her.

Charles calls Angie and tells her it's good that she's home. He wants her to 
stay put, he'll be right over. Nope, he's not gonna tell her...but it has to do 
with "I loooooooovvvvvvvveee you." He grinning from ear to ear.

Steffi, with Tony's help, leaves the apartment. The person in the closet walks 
out. We see all dark clothes, and a hat. The hat comes off and long blonde hair 
flows down. The stalker turns around...
