Loving 8/21/95

The Bistro:
Steffi is working, because Mom+s at the doctor+s and Al didn+t show up today
(pretty ominous, hub?).  Kate comes in and offers to help.  Ste. takes her 
up on
it.  Tony comes in, and tries to get a tray from Steffi because pregnant 
women
shouldn+t be carrying heavy things.  The tray falls, Stef is momentarily 
pissed.
They segue to sparring a bit about Richard.  Tony distrusts him, Stef 
doesn+t.
Neal comes in , he was out looking for an apartment and lost track of time.
Kate tells Neal that Ava is worried about her living alone, with a serial 
killer
on the loose.  Neal agrees to be her new boarder.  (Oh, no!  If it+s Neal, 
will
Kate bite the dust?!  Will we finally get to see the rest of her close but 
invisible
brood?!).  Tony gets a call and has to leave - Steffi gives him a kiss for 
being a
nice guy.

The Masters Penthouse:
Alex is wondering where Ava is, and where she got the powder jar like 
Stacy+s.
Ava comes in and tells him she got it at Burnell+s but they are still in the 
store-
room and not on the floor yet.  She tells him she was at a store meeting, he
asks where she really was and why she is lying.  Ava didn+t expect the 
Spanish
Inquisition and tells Alex that she was off thinking about Curtis and 
feeling
bad that they turned him in.  They fight over whether he+s guilty or not. 
 The
phone rings - Jeremy telling Alex that Curtis is dead.  Alex hangs up and 
tells
Ava the news.  The two do a really good job of being in shock.  Ava wants to
get out (of Corinth) before it+s too late.

Dunellen:
Gwyn comes to see Curtis, an orderly is sent to get him ready.  Jeremy 
arrives to
give Gwyn moral support (she+s feeling guilty about sending Curtis back). 
 The
orderly announces Curtis is missing, then some one comes in and whispers to
the Head Guy and they both run out.  Next scene has J telling Gwyn that 
Curtis
is dead (I don+t know when or why they pulled him in to tell him).  Gwyn
crumbles.  The Head Guy wants Gwyn to take a sedative, she rips into him 
about
Curtis dying in a secure room where he was supposed to be under watch.  The
Masters arrive, Ava tries to comfort Gwyn - Gwyn feels guilty about Curtis 
and
depressed about her whole family being gone.  A nurse tells Alex that the 
night
staff said Curtis+ sister came to see him - Jeremy lets Alex know that C had
talked about seeing Trisha.  Tony finds a picture piece (of hair), Alex 
realizes
that there+s no doubt of a serial killer now.  Jeremy offers to Gwyn to 
contact Trisha,
Gwyn says no, she made it clear she doesn+t want anything to do with her old
life.  Curtis+ body is being taken away, Gwyn loses it, she wants to see 
him, J tells
her no one can hurt Curtis now.  Ava looks on, very distressed.  She goes up
to Alex who is talking the Night Nurse.  The NN identifies Ava as Curtis+
sister and Ava and Alex look at each other (final scene - fade to black).

Meanwhile, back at the Bistro:
Steffi is discussing Tony with the stuffed bear.  She agrees that Tony is 
sweet
but that he has a big mouth.  Neal and Kate chat about the boarding 
situation.
Kate tells him she+s not a snoopy landlord, he says it doesn+t matter - his 
life is
an open book.  Kate leaves.  He grabs a box that a co-worker is about to 
open,
he takes out an article with the headline "Neal Warren convicted of 
murdering
wife"..
