 Ava and Alex are having an argument about moving to Tampa. He says he 
HAS a job and he's not going anywhere till the case of the murders is 
solved. She thinks he's staying because of Jocelyn. He says there's 
nothing going on but she doesn't believe him.

Like yesterday, Neal looks at the picture and quickly hides it when Tony 
comes into the kitchen. He tells Neal not to be so nervous.

Deborah is in a really good mood as she puts tablecloths on Le Bistro 
tables. Here comes Stephanie. She's suspicious of Deb's good mood. She 
asks if Deb has seen or heard from Ally or Gwyn. Deb tells Stephie she's 
going to be a model!!

Charles is at the hospital looking for an assault victim from Corinth 
Towers. A nurse tells him she's in with Doctor Hubbard. Angie comes out 
and asks what he's doing there. He asks if Lorraine is okay.

Alex is mad because Ava went behind his back to get him a job and looked 
at some houses. She doesn't want to stay in Corinth.He's been working 
night and day trying to solve the case. She's determined.
Alex: "You know something,I-I find it a little strange that, that this 
all coincides with the opening of the new Bernell's down in Florida. I 
find that a little strange, don't you?
Ava: "Oh please,Alex, yeah right, I'm just running around town murdering 
people so that you'll show up at my opening!"
Alex: "Ava , I'm not going to Tampa! I'm not going anywhere. I'm sorry! 
But if you feel like you have to go, fine, then just go!"
Ava: "You don't seem to be terribly upset about it!"
Alex: "That's because I'm tired of arguing about it!"
Ava: "Maybe you're just tired of me."
Alex: "WHAT?"
Ava: "You WANT me to go, don't you?"

Charles misunderstood the call. He thought since it was a maid at Corinth 
Towers, it was Lorraine. Angie's asking why HE went on the call. He 
apologizes and then asks how the patient is. Then he says he better get 
the report. Angie says when he has time, they need to talk.

Steph thinks it's a joke but Deb's really enthusiastic. She tries to warn 
her mother about the competition. Debra asks if Steph thinks she's too 
old.
S: "Maybe a little."
D: "Oh, but honey, there are mature models. I've seen them in magazines 
and catalogs, and what about that Erica Kane on All My Children?"
S: "Well yeah, but they've been at it since they were little kids, Mom 
they.."
D: "Well, then I'm the exception! And anyway, I have an advantage over 
them."
S: "What is your advantage?"
D: "I've got you!"
S: "ME?"
D: "Um humm, oh honey, just think! Think about it. Knock-out mom subs for 
pregnant daughter! Huh? And then we have the baby, IF you get your figure 
back, we can do ads together! We can be a duo, a team. I mean isn't it 
just absolutely thrilling?"
Steph tells her to check it out first but Deb says she already has. Tess 
is going to give her a job if she knows what's good for her.

Neal is chopping celery. Tony's reminiscing about Uncle Dom and the pasta 
shop. Neal tells him he's not Uncle Dom and this isn't the pasta shop and 
he wants Tony to leave him alone. He says he went to the station and 
answered his stupid questions. He grabs a knife and points it at Tony.

T: "Hey Neal, I don't know if you realize this, but you just went from 
choppin' celery to assault with a deadly weapon, Pal!"
N: "I'm sorry. I just don't like you accusing me, that's all!"
Tony is very insistent. Neal doesn't want to answer anymore 
questions.Tony tells him to get a lawyer.

Stephie asks if her mother is blackmailing Tess for the job. Deb says no, 
it's more like an incentive, and besides she deserves it. Steph asks what 
Tess has done to her. Deb says Tess stole Clay but Steph says she 
borrowed him. Deborah misses Clay. Stephie can relate, she called Cooper 
but he wasn't there.(Steph's holding Duke, the bear) Deb asks if she's 
buying baby things. Steph tells her it's from a friend as Tony comes out 
of the kitchen. He says hello and Steph tells him  Duke brought her to 
breakfast. Deb excuses herself. Tony has something to say to Stephie but 
doesn't know how she'll take it.

Charles exits the cubicle and Angie asks how it went, He thinks he 
talked her (the maid), into pressing charges. Charles apologizes and 
Angie understands. Angie says the first thing they taught them in medical 
school was "Don't lose your patients!"(Ha, Ha) She says she's concerned 
but not about their marriage. They hug.

Ava pops the top on a can that could be beer and sips. Alex tells her if 
she feels she has to go, it's okay, but he'd like her to stay. She's 
afraid she'll be the next murder victim. He says maybe she SHOULD go. Ava 
thinks then he can "party" with Jocelyn. She's determined there's 
something between Alex and Jocelyn. She starts crying and goes upstairs 
to pack.(Will Ava "push" him into the arms of Jocelyn??)

Steph is worried that it's something about Ally or Gwyn. He says no and 
that it's about them.
T: "I've been wanting to say something to you since the town meeting."
S: "It's about, um, the kiss, right?"
T: "Stephanie, I can't stop thinking about it!"
S: "It was just kind of a spur-of-the-moment type a thing. I didn't 
really mean it! I liked it though, I liked the kiss, I did!"
T:(heavy sigh) "I-I was wondering, actually I was hoping, would you like 
to go out with me tomorrow night, for dinner? Like somewhere real nice, 
like Tu le Mon's?"
S: "Sure, okay."
T: "I'm talking like a date here!"
S: "I know, I know what you're saying."
T: "Yeah?"
S: "Yeah!"
T: "YEAH!!"

Neal is still chopping celery. Deb tells him there's enough celery to 
feed China. He tells her not to use the pot that's on the stove. The 
phone rings and she answers it. He hurries and takes the picture out of 
the pot while she's not looking.

Angie reminds Charles of "their island" in the middle of their bedroom, 
Where they go to talk and eat Chinese. He's going to take her to dinner 
at Tu le mon and to the island for dessert. They hug again.

Ava's packing a bag. Alex comes in and asks what she's doing.
Ava: "You're a detective, figure it out!"
Alex: "This is silly, you're not going anywhere." (He pulls some clothes 
out and she slams them back in) "Come on, I haven't done anything wrong! 
I know what this is all about."
Ava: "Why don't you explain it to me, Alex."
Alex: "Y-You're just upset, that's all. It's about Danny allegedly raping 
Ally! I understand that, that makes.."
Ava: "ALLEGED!! Boy, she really does have you under her thumb, doesn't 
she!"
Alex: "I say that because he hasn't been arrested yet!"
Ava: "Alex, save it, I'm leaving, end of discussion!"
Alex: "You're leaving?"
Ava: "Yep."
Alex: "You're going to Florida now?"
Ava: "Nope! I'm taking the kids and I'm going to mama's, THEN I'm going 
to Florida!"
Alex: "This is silly, this is laughable."
Ava: "Well, I'm glad you find the humor in it. Now, get out of my way!"
Alex: "Ava, GO! Let me tell you something, you walk out that door, I'm 
not taking you back!"
Ava: "I'm not coming back!"
She takes the suitcase and leaves the bedroom, down the stairs, one last 
look around, out the front door...
