In Tess' office, Jacob is trying to play. Tess comes in singing. 
Jacob says thank you, Miss Middler, they'll call her, NOT....NEXT. 
Jacob says he's in her office since the appraiser is in his. Tess 
says she's gonna sell the place and move to NY. Outside, Angie 
comes into the agency and sees Frankie. They stammer. She says she 
is looking for a non-smothering way to say she cares.

Kate, (Nada is away, there is a new actress playing her...an *old* 
actress) Ally, and Ava are in Ava's apartment. Ally doesn't want to 
stay at Ava's. Ava says she'll be safe here. Kate says the landlord 
gene must have rubbed off on her. Ally wants to go home. Ava says 
she can't go home. The real estate agents are due there soon.

Alex says there were three single murders, then a double, and 
another almost double. Charles says does he think the killer will 
do a triple next? Charles says Tony is thinking about Neal as a 
suspect. Alex says but they think the killer is related to the 
Aldens and Neal isn't. Ah, Charles says, the day is still young, 
who knows what surprises they'll still turn up. Meanwhile, in the 
interegation room, Tony is talking to Neal, and he says a new 
wrinkle has been uncovered. Was there another murder? Neal asks. 
Gee, that hasn't made the paper yet, Tony says, now how would Neal 
know about that?

Promo...this is the sound of trouble...pen clicking, swinging 
watch, gun, metronome, lighter, purse closing, and a camera flash. 
Trouble with a capital L...LOVING will never be the same...Figure 
it out.

Real estate agent? Ally asks. Yes, Ava says, they'll be at your 
place at noon, then on to your house, Momma. Ava says she checked 
them out and they're good. They'll have the houses sold quickly. 
Kate says that she didn't know her house was up for sale, quickly 
or not. Don't fight me on this, Momma. We're all leaving Corinth.

Tess takes invintory, what has she got here? a model that's 
pregnant...(I missed the rest). Jacob wants to know where she's 
getting the money to pay for the move. Tess holds up a piece of 
paper and tells Jacob she has a notice for the intent to pay from 
the Clay Alden estate. Deborah grabs it and says she'll take that. 
Jacob leaves. Outside, Frankie says that he's not giving in on 
Charles. He knows he was out of line in telling her she made a 
mistake in choosing Charles over Jacob. Angie looks at Jacob, who 
comes out of Tess' office.

In the room, Tony wants answers. Neal said he went through hell 
when his wife died, he doesn't want to go through this again. 
Ouside, Alex says that Neal can't be the murderer. Kate didn't 
blink an eye when Tony said he killed his wife. And her radar is 
infallible. Charles poo poos Kate's radar. Alex wonders what's 
wrong. Alex asks if he's PMS'ing. He's got a string of unsolved 
murders, Charles yells back. Alex says he is acting weird, he was 
even acting strange around Frankie and his girlfriend Bree. Bree is 
his daughter, Charles says.

Frankie appologizes to Jacob, who wasn't suppose to hear that. No 
problem, Jacob says, did he duplicate the keys yet? No, he'll go do 
that. Frankie leaves. Angie tells Jacob that Frankie told her Jacob 
had been supporting Charles. She thanks him for that. He tells her 
that Loraine is on the edge over this. She says it's a good thing 
she has him. As friends, Jacob says, he and Loraine are friends, 
just friends.

Deborah says that the money is rightfully hers. Why? Tess asks, 
cause she was married to him for about 5 minutes, by an actor that 
was not even a good one? Well, Deborah says, Tess wants to spend 
it, so Deborah suggests they talk. Tess says when you've been 
blackmailed as often as she has, you can see it coming. Get to the 
point...

Kate says that this is not a good idea. Ava says that she's not 
waiting to get raped or murdered. Kate asks if she's talked to Alex 
about this.

In teh interegation room, Neal says he went to Kate's car to get 
her sweater. He walked by Gwyn's car. Is Gwyn alright? Neal grabs 
Tony's shirt and screams "Is Gwyn alright?" Tony looks at Neal's 
hands, and Neal lets Tony go. Tony wants to know why Neal cares 
about a woman he hardly knows, and no excuse about being a 
concerned citizen, he wants the truth! Meanwhile, Alex and Charles 
are talking about the murders and how when Charles goes home, he's 
still 20 years in the past, but now it's personal. And he gets in 
and there's a note from the Tampa Bay police about Alex wanting to 
go work there...so when is he leaving town? Alex is surprised.

Alex doesn't know what he's talking about. He'd never send an 
application to anywhere, and Charles knows him better than that. 
Charles said he thought he did. He'd never walk out in the middle 
of the investigation, Alex says. Well, Charles says they have an 
application, with his signature. Alex figures it out and says he's 
sorry, he has to go talk to a little forgerer he knows. Charles 
says he's sorry he caused a rift between him and Ava. No, it's not 
his fault. Meanwhile, Neal tells Tony he has to get to work. Neal 
walks out and sees the photo fragments and stammers. Charles covers 
them up and asks if there is anything they should know? Neal says 
no, he's just under a lot of pressure. Charles says so are they. 
Neal leaves. Charles appologizes to Tony and his gut feelings. They 
shake, and Tony leaves. A call comes in about an attack on a black 
female in the Corinth Towers. Charles says he'll handle it. 

You want to be a model? Tess laughs. Deborah is serious. In fact, 
she is only gonna use her first name. She tells Tess that she has 
retained a lawyer and if he doesn't hear about a contract by noon, 
she *will* keep Clay's estate in litigation until the next 
millenium. Deborah leaves. Tess wonders where the serial killer is 
when you need him. At the receptionist's desk, Jacob says Deborah 
looks like the cat that ate the canary. Meoooooooow. Frankie comes 
in and gives Jacob his keys back. Did Bree come in? No, she called 
in sick. Sick of him, cause of Charles, Frankie says.

Ava wants Ally to stay with her...or Momma. Ally goes to put the 
kids in the car. Kate tells her to think this through. Ava says she 
will talk to Alex, he should be home soon. Kate says she doesn't 
want to be around for that discussion. Alex walks in. Kate says, 
"Hello, Alex." He says "Kate." She says "'Bye, Alex." He says, 
"Kate." She leaves. Alex says he wants to talk about Tampa, HONEY. 
Ava looks like she's scared.

Neal, in the kitchen of the Biastro, opens his walet and looks at 
the photo that looks like the one in pieces. Tony, opening the door 
to the kitchen says, "What have you got?"
