>Hi, there.  I'm your new Thursday updater.  Hope you enjoy this.  Let me know
>what you think.
>
>There are 3.3 storylines in Corinth today:
>
>1.  I'M NOT MY FATHER
>    Starring Casey, Kate, Ally, sa therapist named Doctor Bruckman, and the
>    doctor's receptionist.
>2.  I'M NOT GETTING BETTER
>    Starring Trucker, Dinah lee, a pseudo-Christopher, and a cameo role by
>    Curtis.
>3.  I'M NOT HAPPY
>    Starring Buck, Tess, Stacey, Heather, J J, and somebody named Mrs. Pearl.
>3.3 I'M NOT BUYING IT
>    Starring Curtis and some unnamed guy.
>
>1.  I'M NOT MY FATHER
>
>Kate and Ally [hmm, wasn't that an 80s sitcom?] are in the living room of
>Casey and Ally's house, looking through home decorating magazines for ideas
>for decorating the place.  Kate is worried that the ideas are too expensive.
>Can Casey and Ally afford them?  Ally assures her that Casey is making good
>money since he got his job back.  Kate then has to have the story of Casey
>being fired by Jeremy explained to her.
>Ally:  It was a misunderstanding.  He got it back and he's on a photo shoot
>       right now.
>Kate:  That's hard to do without his camera.
>The camera pulls back to show Casey's camera sitting on a nearby table.
>
>In the meantime, Casey is visiting the offices of Doctor Bruckman, a
>therapist.  This receptionist asks Casey if he insurance will cover therapy,
>and Casey says yes, he hopes so.  [I'm confused here.  Is Casey a full-time
>photographer for the advertising agency, or is he working as a freelancer,
>and is just currently assigned there on a one-time basis?]  The receptionnist
>has him fill out some forms, and he sits and waits for the doctor.
>
>Kate tells Ally that a photographer forgetting his camera is like a cab driver
>forgetting his taxi.  Ally looks worried.  Kate asks if anything is wrong.
>They talk about Casey losing his job and getting it back again.  Ally admits
>it was stressful, then says she made things worse by suggesting that Casey
>see a therapist.  Kate offers to talk to Casey, but Ally says no, she'll do
>it.
>
>Doctor Bruckman welcomes Casey, then recognizes his name, and asks him if he
>is related to Giff Bowman.  Casey looks stunned.
>
>Casey:  Giff was my father, but I came to talk about me, not him.
>They start the therapy session.  Casey has too much going on in his life;
>work, new house, wife, her child, lots of bills, lots of decisions.  He says
>he's usually good at juggling things.  He hopes the Doctor can give him some
>pointers on how to juggle.  The Doctor wants Casey to give him some more
>information, he has left a lot of blanks on the form he filled out.  The
>Doctor wants to talk about Giff, but Casey doesn't.  Casey grabs the Doctor's
>notes, and sees notes on Giff, "the manic-depressive father."  Casey tears up
>the notes and storms out.
>
>Ally can't get a hold of Casey to tell him he left his camera.  Just then he
>comes in, and Kate leaves.  Ally askes Casey where he was.  He had to run some
>errands.  What kind of errands?  Just errands, why are you so suspicious?
>I'm not, I know you love me too much to keep anything from me.  They kiss,
>but Casey looks trapped.
>
>2. I 'M NOT GETTING BETTER
>
>Trucker and Dinah Lee are sitting on Trucker's porch.  Trucker is trying to
>find out why DL is afraid of Jeremy.  She says she remembers him differently.
>This one scares her.  His eyes ...  Just then Curtis comes up and say, "You
>saw it too?"
>
>Curtis and Trucker argue about Curtis being there.  Trucker tells Curtis to
>leave DL alone.  Dinah Lee goes into the house.  Curtis says this is no ploy,
>he wants to know what DL feels about Jeremy.  Trucker refuses to allow it,
>and Curtis leaves, angry.
>
>Trucker goes inside and he and Dinah Lee talk.  Trucker thinks that DL is
>just afraid of the big job she has to do to get better, and that Jeremy is
>pushing her with the art therapy, and she's afraid she can't do it.  Dinah
>Lee says that the woman Trucker fell in love with is gone, and it's not fair
>to him to stay with her.  He should put her away.  Trucker says she's going
>to get better, and they're going to have a great life.  He begins to tell
>her a story of the future, and there is a flashforward of Dinah Lee coming
>into the house with Christopher on her back, telling Trucker about the strenu-
>ous day the two of them had.  As Chris goes upstairs to get ready for bed,
>Trucker and DL make plans to go hiking in the mountains the next day.  As the
>flashforward ends, Dinah Lee says, "It's only a dream."
>
>Trucker tells her that the dream will come true.  She says, "You're so hope-
>ful."  
>Trucker:  Before long, you'll be back to your old self.
>He gets the engagement ring he gave her in the hospital (that she asked him
>to hold onto for her).  He puts it on her finger and says, "Welcome home."
>They kiss.
>
>3.  I'M NOT HAPPY
>
>Tess and Buck are in the park, having a picnic.  Tess made it to thank Buck
>for being so sweet at Belden Pond the other night.  Just then, Heather J J
>and Stacey come up.
>Heather:  I hate you, Uncle Buck.
>
>Buck asks wha'ts wrong.  He missed Heather's birthday -- no present, he didn't
>come by for the party, he didn't have any of the cake.
>Buck:  I'm sorry.  When was your birthday.
>JJ:  Two days ago, as if you care.
>He then tries to drag Heather away.
>Heather:  I thought you loved me.
>Stacey motions for some old lady, Mrs. Pearl [is she their nanny?] to take the
>kids to a hot dog stand for lunch.
>Mrs. Pearl:  If we don't get in line now, we'll have to wait forever.
>Heather wants to talk to Buck, but Stacey makes the kids leave.  She then
>apologizes to Buck, and Tess accepts the apology.
>Stacey:  They're too young to understand.
>Buck:  I just don't want them to think I'm a jerk.  If I could just talk to
>       them ...
>Stacey:  No, just leave them alone.
>The two of them argue, then Stacey says they're her kids, she'll handle it.
>
>Buck tells her he never meant to be one of her problems, and he's sorry.
>Stacey leaves.  Buck asks Tess if his getting too close to the kids was a
>mistake; he wasn't thinking -- he got the kids' hopes up, and he shouldn't
>have done that.
>Tess:  It's been rough on the kids.  But it's been rough on you, too.
>Buck:  For the first time in my life, I felt like I belonged somewhere.  I was
>       part of a family.  I miss it.
>
>Stacey is handing out hot dogs to the kids.  She lectures them on getting
>over Buck.  The kids call Buck a creep for leaving them for Tess.  Stacey
>tells them he didn't leave them for Tess, he just left.  J J isn't satisfied.
>
>Buck tells Tess he's making all the wrong moves.  He's been in Corinth too
>long.  Maybe he needs a few days away.  Tess worries she's moving too fast.
>Buck tells her he likes being with her -- it's comfortable.  Buck decides to
>go up to Trucker's cabin for a few days.  He'd ask Tess to come with him, but
>he knows she's too busy at work.
>Tess:  I can take a few days off.
>Buck:  You can?  Great!
>But his expression says he doesn't really mean it.
>
>3.3 Curtis is waiting in the park to talk to a strange man.
>Man:  What did you want to see me for?
>Curtis:  Information.  [He hands the guy some money.]  What would I have to
>         do to look at a friend's medical records?
>Man:  Why?
>Curtis:  I'm just curious.
>Man:  How curious?
>Curtis:  Pretty darn curious.  [He hands the guy more money.]
>Man:  Name?
>Curtis:  Jeremy Hunter.
