Subject: LOV: Update for Wednesday, August 24, 1994
Status: R

Debbie is standing by for Black and White commentary and as an
emergency in case Channel 5 goes to OJ (is the pre-trial still going
on? Yesterday, they showed Loving, so I'm hoping they're giving OJ
up.)

Charles is telling the doctor Janie was the only match. The doctor
says it's illegal since Janie never signed a donor card. The doctor
said the only way is if they got consent from family. Angie says
that's impossible. She was raised by her grandmother who is dead and
so are her parents.That's not true,Curtis says (Gee, yesterday in this
scene he said "Her parents are alive...). Yes it is, Angie says. Janie
told me herself. Curtis doesn't explain. They see that the doctor is
entering the lobby and Charles says Dinah Lee must be out of surgery.

The doctor enters (Debbie says from a different direction than
yesterday). The doctor, with Trucker, Buck, Ava and others says It's
over. Trucker asks how the surgery went. They tied off all the
internal bleeders. She's bruised pretty badly. Ava says someone should
tell her sister. The doctor says she just talked to Hannah, who is in
the chapel now. Trucker asks about the baby. Ava is shocked that
Trucker knows about the baby.

Trucker explains that he is the father. The doctor wants to talk
privately. Buck wants in on it, too. The doctor tells Trucker that she
sustained a blow to the abdomen. The pregnancy was terminated. Trucker
is upset. The doctor says she may never wake up, he has to accept that
fact. Trucker is getting more and more upset. The doctor wants to
inform her family. Trucker starts to tell her about an aunt, but
starts to break down and leaves to go to Dinah Lee's room.  The nurse
in Dinah Lee's room doesn't want him to be with her. Trucker
pleads. She relents. trucker sits and holds Dinah Lee's hand.

Ava is crying and Alex brings her a coffee. Ava says she doesn't
understand, Buck is a good pilot. Alex says maybe there was something
wrong with the plane. The FAA is probably out there now. But the plane
is pretty banged up. Alex says that doesn't matter to the FAA, they'll
find the cause. (Of course, Curtis overhears this.)

Angie asks a passing nurse about Dinah Lee.  She's lost a lot of
blood, there was so much internal bleeding. She isn't sure that Dinah
Lee will ever wake up. Curtis comes over and is feeling guilty. He
loved her, he really did. Curtis tells Angie and Charles that Janie is
not an orphan. Charles asks him how he knows. It's not important,
Curtis says. It is to him, Charles says. Look, Janie is not an orphan,
and they can get the father to sign the release forms. Curtis tells
them to stay there. He goes over to Buck, who tells him they have
nothing to talk about. Yes, we do, Curtis says, it's about your
daughter.

What do you know about my daughter? I know you had Fontana looking for
her. Curtis tells Buck he met a 4th year drama student. WHY? Buck
asks. I was angry, you messed things up with Dinah Lee. No, Buck says,
you did that. I KNOW THAT! Curtis says. Curtis says I have to do
this. Your real daughter is Janie. Janie? Yeah, Curtis sighs, Janie
Sinclair. But she's DEAD. Buck says. Yeah, Curtis sighs. Buck is
distraught.

Trucker tells Dinah Lee she has to get better, life without her would
be too hard. Dinah Lee opens her eyes and he asks if she can hear
him. She calls him name. Trucker tells her she is in the hospital.
Baby? she manages to squeak out. Shhh, Trucker says. Baby.  Trucker
tells her he is so sorry. She tries to tell him, she manages to say
"not                     much                                time." 
Then she is silent and Trucker says Dinah Lee? Dinah LEE!

The information about Janie sinks in. Buck tells Curtis to go away. It
is not true! Charles overhears the argument. He wants to go in there
and get Buck to agree. Angie talks him out of it. Buck doesn't accept
it. Curtis says he paid Fontanna off to get the information. Buck and
Curtis scream at each other. Curtis says he is sorry, but Janie is the
match for Angie. Buck needs to sign the papers. Buck leaves. Charles
tells Angie that he'll go after Buck. No, Angie says, he just found
out he has a daughter, and he lost her. He needs time. Charles says
they have no more time. What if he doesn't come back in time?

Ava takes Alex to the car dealer where Leo's car is for sale. Is this
the Thelma and Louise car? Alex asks. Yes. We had a great time. 0 to
60...(in some amount of time). Alex asks if she has first hand
knowledge of this. Ava says yeah, they were running from police, bad
guys, all sorts of things. Ava wants to buy the car tonight, park it
under Dinah Lee's window. Ava cries. Alex tells her it'll be okay.

Two troopers are guarding the plane wreck. They complain about the
duty, and one of them keeps falling asleep. The other says he'll go
get the coffee - decaf, and the other can take a nap. Curtis is at the
site, crying about the accident. Dear God, he said, I never wanted the
plane to take off. I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt. I just didn't
want Buck to go get her. He's crying. (Debbie thinks he found one of
Dinah Lee's earings) He lights a match to destroy any evidence but the
flames get out of hand and are blocking Curtis from leaving.  The
flames start to engulf Curtis (Debbie thinks his foot may be stuck -
it's dark in the plane and she is watching on a small B&W set).

Dinah Lee wakes up and tells Trucker she loves him. He knows. Always
loved you, she forces out. Shh, rest. Trucker says. Stay, Dinah Lee
says. If I die......, she says, hold me. Trucker hugs her and says he
loves her so much as Dinah Lee looses consciousness again.
