THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: <The thought for the day is on hiatus until
Frank Beaty returns>.

COURTHOUSE
This first scene got cut off. Pick up with Ross lambasting Josh
for confusing Reva. First the restraining order and then he kisses
her. "It's not what you think, Ross." "Whatever." "I just don't
want Annie to get caught in Reva's line of fire."

HOSPITAL
Reva's glad she ran into Annie so she could thank her for saving
Hawk's life. "I don't need your thanks." Reva apologizes for what
happened at the ball. "But that's just the way it is between Joshua
and me. Highly combustible. Always have been always will be. Someone's
bound to get hurt." "The only one who is going to get hurt, Reva, is
you."

SUSAN'S ROOM
Alan-Michael comes in. "Welcome back to us," he hugs Susan. "Hi, Boss."
Nick: "Where's Lucy? Have they arrested Marian?" "Actually, Marian
never existed." "The hell she didn't. She tried to kill Susan." "No,
Brent Lawrence tried to kill Susan. And now he's got Lucy. Nick and
Susan are speechless.

LIGHTHOUSE
NotBrent is holding the freshly-peeled latex mask in his NotHand.
Lucy screams in anguish. NO! NO! NO! "What's wrong, Lucy? It's
been a long time, aren't you glad to see me? I faked my death.
I faked Marian so I could be with you." "You have to be dead!
Stay away from me! Stay away from me!"

ROLL LIGHTHOUSE

DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS
Lucy is still hysterical. "What's wrong Lucy? Did I do something to
upset you? Scream once for yes, twice for no. I'm worried about you,
Lucy. You seem to be on edge. How about a backrub? Marian was so good
at those." She breaks away. "Stay away from me!" "There you go playing
hard to get again. That's what attracted me to you in the first place."
She runs around trying to find an escape. The door is locked. She
runs up the staircase and outside onto the light deck. (I'm sure
there's a name for it, but I haven't done a crossword in a while...)
A dense fog envelops the lighthouse. Lucy stares in anguish at
how high it is. Downstairs, Brent is talking to himself, "The pitter-
patter of little feet. Lucy's feet. So small and delicate. Not like
clodhopper Marian's." He lays the mask on the bed. "I'll miss you,
Marian. But I have Lucy to keep me company now. She can run, but
she can't hide. Ready or not, here I come!" He heads up the stairs.

SPAULDING
Frank and Nell are going through Marian's desk. They are trying
to find Cassie Lawrence. A picture of a lighthouse adorns Marian's
wall calendar. "My dad and I should have killed him when we
had the chance." Frank blames himself. Nell: "Lucy will be fine
because she has you on her side. And you're better than Brent
Lawrence anyday." AW! Watch out for the flying chicken chunks!
They find a Z on Marian's blotter just like Lucy's. Nell wonders
why he's so careless. Frank says he's psychotic and is toying
with them. Frank: "No one messes with my family and gets away with
it twice."

PAGING DR. WESTHEIMER
Reva calls Annie naive. She tells Annie to wait until Josh and
her really get revved up again. Annie accuses Reva of playing games
with their lives. "How come Josh kissedme?"  "My heart broke
for you too, that you would humiliate yourself like that in public."
"I don't need your sympathy." "Only my husband. So you better settle
for sympathy, cuz it's all you're going to get." "If Josh, told you
that kiss didn't mean anything, he's lying." Annie tells Reva the
kiss mattered because it finally made Josh realize that he doesn't
love Reva anymore. You got a rise out of him, that's all. And men
can get aroused by (looking Reva up and down) almost anything.
Josh isn't any different, and I understand that." "You don't have
a clue as to what's going on." "You tried to use sex to get what you
want, what else is new?" Sarcastically, "So much for being a saint!"
Guns loaded, ready, aim, fire! "Reva, there's no doubt you're good
in bed. Anyone who has slept with the legions of men you have, has
to be." "Why, you---!" "You may have gotten Josh's body aroused, but the
hard part is getting his heart aroused." Way to ruin a scene! Great
writing and acting until the evil LOWHAD spirit had to get into it!
Still Annie: "Kissing you was like looking at a centerfold for Josh,
or riding on a bumpy road. It was an involuntary reaction, not love.
Josh just doesn't love you anymore." Reva is fuming!

Reva denies everything. It wasn't ever just sex between her and Josh.
"Give it up, Reva. Josh is mine now!" "That's enough," Rick sends the
two to their corners. Stay out of it, Rick. "You got a rise out of
Josh, so what? He went home with me last night. His wife. (Tauntingly)
And we made love all...night...long." Rick looks sad. Annie: "All
night. And believe me, it was everything that a woman could want.
Are you getting the picture? Or do I need to draw it for you?" "You're
lying." "And when was the last time you made love, Reva? And I'm not
talking about nooners or one night stands. I'm talking about tenderness
mixed with intense heat." Reva laughs, "That's not what you had last
night." "Why is that so hard to believe? Josh is my husband." "He gave
it to you good last night so that you'd think you had won. But, guess
what? You're so desperate, you believed him." "Stop making a fool
of yourself and get the message! I don't know how to make it any
clearer!" "FINE! Excuse me, but I have a little matter to discuss with
the ADA. Something about my husband committing bigamy." She storms off.
Rick: "Well. So much for your image of a mild mannered nurse. Hope
you won't be paying for that later. All you managed to do was
make her angry, And with Reva that means trouble."

THE CLIENT
Ross' cell phone rings, it's Annie for Josh. Annie explains she made
Reva mad. They had a little "run-in". She says that Reva will be
there soon and plan on her causing trouble. They hang up. Ross
has to think of something, Reva's on her way. Ross has a desperate idea.

BUT HE'S DEAD, NOT YET ANYWAY
Nick realizes everything fits now. Marian's motivation. That's how
Susan was overpowered. A-M explains about Rick figuring out the nads.
A-M wants Nick to find out about Brent's "death". Susan's being
supportive. A-M loves Lucy so much. Love is power.

SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS
Lucy's voice is drowned out by the wind. Brent's upstairs now. Lucy
says she'd rather be dead than to let Brent touch her again. She
starts to climb the railing.

Brent throws her bak to the deck. They wrestle. She knees him and
runs back downstairs. She's banging on the door. He locks her in
the caged stairwell. "Your little highwire act almost ruined
everything." 

HARDY BOY AND NANCY DREW
Nell's having no luck with rental car records or anything else. Frank
just got off the phone with Levy. They're bringing the doctor
in for questioning. Buzz comes in, one of the guards owed him a favor.
Frank gets on him for the way he treated Nell. Buzz realizes the
mistake. He has a heartfelt apology. Nell accepts. Buzz begs for
something to do. Go through the trash looking for clues. Buzz: "Brent
Lawrence is going to wish he stayed dead."

THE ACCUSED
Reva arrives at the courthouse. She tells Josh how excited she is
about this bigamy charge. Josh pleads with her. "You know, Josh,
i'll do anything for a piece of pie. Apple's my favorite." "You
attack me, I attack you. No one wins." "I don't have time for a
debate." Reva always hurts herself when she lashes out. Marrying
H.B., sleeping with Billy, and giving up Dylan. "Your just spouting
words to make me stop!" "I care Reva, more than you know."

THE NEW SLUT OF SPRINGFIELD
Annie tells Rick that Josh is over Reva. Last night was a turning
point. Annie walks off. Hawk calls out, "Bauer boy, get your
doctorin' duff in here." ""For the last time, Jethro, our nurses
don't give hot oil massages." Hawk was eavesdropping. "It's a good
thing, too, or else Annie would never know the truth about Josh and
Reva."

DOUBLE TROUBLE
Josh says the war should be called off. The children just got caught
in the crossfire. And Annie, too. "OH! You don't want a wounded
bride on your hands." Ross and ADA O'Rourke come in. Reva: "I
want to report a crime." Josh: "Reva, don't do this." O'Rourke
wants privacy. "No, Josh and his hired gun can hear what I have to say.
Since it affects them." The party moves into an empty courtroom. "I 
knew you were a nice man when I talked to you on the phone, Mr. O'Rourke.
The kind of man who helps victims of injustices such as myself." 
Josh: "Oh, brother!" "You see! My own husband has no sympathy
and no respect for me. He's tried to deny me my children. He's tried
to deny I'm his wife. He's even tried to deny that I'm alive! He
had me declared deceased last July." She has papers proving she's
Reva Shayne Lewis. "What I need from you is to help me get a judge
to declare me legally alive so I can charge my two-timing husband with
bigamy." Josh and Ross sigh.

OFFICE OF THE DESTROYER!!!!!
A-M arrives at Spaulding. They fill him in. Still trying to find
Cassie. Frank realizes Cassie is on Brent's speed-dial. He got
the answering machine. They just need to trace it to find her.
A-M is afraid the Brent doesn't want Lucy for ransom. "He wants
her to pay a different kind of price."

ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOR MILES
"You don't decide when you die, I do! I won't let you ruin my
plan!" Brent throws Lucy onto the bed. "I didn't wear lipstick
and pantyhose for fun. Marian was a means to an end." "Well, I
cared about Marian." "You were an absolute angel, Lucy. You are too
much! You're hoping against hope that I killed 3 innocent people
and kidnpped you as part of a juvenile prank! I worked hard on this!
I almost hate to see you go." "Are you doing this because you
raped me?" "No, because you lied about me raping you! I lost my
job! My future!" "I told the truth!" "YOU SET ME UP!!! SO I SET
*YOU* UP! Trust me your punishment will fit your crime and then
you will die. I'm calling the shots from now on, understand?" Lucy
nods. "Good girl, Now rest up. You're going to need your strength
for later." Brent leaves.

EUREKA
They have Cassie's phone number and address. A-M says that if Brent
was running this out of Spaulding there has to be more clues. They're
convinced it has to be on computer, if there is anything at all.
Frank: "But he was a computer whiz wouldn't it be in a secret file?"
A-M: "Let's find out." He parks himself and boots up. It asks
for a password. Buzz: "It could be anything, right?" "Can be. Not
if he wants us to figure it out." They try MARIAN and BRENT. Nothing.
A-M: "I've got it!"

WITH ALL THIS LIGHTHOUSE STUFF, WHEN ARE THEY CHANGING THE OPENING?
Lucy walks around. She knows A-M is going to find her. She hears
his voice saying romantic things to her. She cuddles against a dirty
window.

***LUCAS' PSUEDOSCENE OF THE WEEK***
Lucy sees the dirty window and freaks out. "EW! It's bad
enough this place is a burned down dump, but at least
have the decency to clean the windows!" She gets off the sill and
searches for cleaning products. What do you know! Under the bed
is a bucket full of pine products! She grabs Lemon scented
Windex, rips off part of her dress to use as a rag. She starts
spraying and wiping. Spraying and wiping. "I must clean!" Brent
comes in. "What are you doing?" "What does it look like? I'm
cleaning." "Just like a low-class whore--to be into housecleaning!"
"I'm not a low-class whore." She continues rubbing the same spot.
"What's wrong with wanting everything to look and smell nice?"
"Lucy, I've had sex with you. It may look fine, but the smell..."
"Well, yours may smell fine, but let's just say if you painted it
blue, I'd be convinced you stole it from a smurf. Smurfette, I'm
not. No wonder why you have to rape women. We have a sense about
inadequacies like yours." "Would you shut up? And stop with the
Windex already. You've been cleaning the same spot ever since
I came back." "I haven't gotten it perfectly clean yet." Brent comes
over and grabs the Windex. "Give me the Windex, Lucy." "No!" She
rips it out of his hands. "It's not clean yet! Can't you see!?!"
"Lucy, give me the damn Windex!" They wrestle. Brent finally gets
it away. "You're a lot stronger than I remember you, Lucy. Been
pumping iron?" "You fool," Lucy says in a man's voice. "What?
What's going on here?" "You're not the only good actor with
fashion sense." Lucy takes off a wig. Throws her bra inserts
across the room. Peels the latex mask off.... Cut to Spaulding,
Alan-Michael alone  in the restroom, peels off his mask, it's Lucy!
At the light house... "Alan-Michael! No! How?!" "That's right,
Brent. I don't know how either, but it sounded like a good plot
twist to me, eh? Now you're going to die." A-M grabs Brent's
throat and pushes him against the window. Brent manages to get away
and runs up the steps to the deck. A-M follows. "You're going to pay
for raping Lucy!" They struggle. Brent runs around the circular
deck. A-M chases him. Why? I don't know, it's a circle and this
is a chase scene. A-M corners Brent in this circle and declares
the end for Brent Lawrence. He lunges for him, but being 
unaccustomed to wearing high heels, he slips and flies right over the
rail. All Brent hears is "Stillettos!!!!" As Alan-Michael
Spaulding plunges to his death. Proving once again that two
cross-dressers don't make a right.
*************************************************************************
But, anyway,

CRIP CENTRAL
Rick and Hawk. Hawk suggests that Rick position himself to grab
Annie when she falls. Because it's only a matter of time. "Hawk,
you've already had one near death experience; don't press your
luck with me." (After all, the Bauers have a habit of killing people
in hospitals.) Hawk praises Annie's goodness. He thinks he's doing
them both a good turn. Josh and Reva, forever! Blah, blah. Rick
needs to be ready to grab Annie on the rebound. Hawk has been discharged.
"Can't I stay for supper?" "No." "Just one more sponge bath for
the road?" "No. Get a job. Get a life. Just go."

WHIPLASH
Ross wishes Reva would reconsider. "No surprise there. You can't defend
the indefensible. Your client, my husband, is a bigamist and he
has two wives to prove it." "Miss Shayne--" the ADA says. "It's
Mrs. Lewis. But you can call you Reva." He has a few questions.
She has nothing to hide. Josh ignored Hawk's pleas to not have
her declared dead. Hawk talked to her on the phone the very day
Josh pressured the judge into making her a corpse. He's been
painstakingly trying to deny my existence ever since. Josh: "Reva,
you are only going to hurt yourself. Don't do this." "Oh, really?
What is the penalty for bigamy?" "First things first. Have you honestly
and accurately reported the facts to me?" "As I live and breathe. You
want to feel my pulse? Just kidding." "And you're sure you want to
press bigamy charges against Mr. Lewis?" "I have no choice." "Very
well, Mrs. Lewis. As for declaring you legally alive, i see no
problem with that." "I knew I could depend on you to do the right
thing." "That's what I'm here for. Bailiff! Get out your handcuffs.
As the Assistant DA I'm ordering you to make an arrest." Reva realizes
it's really going to happen. She turns to face Josh and feels
bad for hurting him, but she told him so.

"Now, I didn't know that charging Josh with bigamy would mean you
would have to arrest him." "We're not arresting Mr. Lewis. We're
arresting you." BAM! The Miranda rights are given as she is
handcuffed. Reva shows disbelief. Ross and Josh are stoic. Reva
then show fury, then hurt.

YOU SPIN ME ROUND LIKE A RECORD BABY
Lucy gets under the covers.

SPAULDING
(My VCR tape ran out so this is from memory)
A-M types in L-U-C-Y. The screen reads, "You're in! Click if
you dare!" A-M clicks. A mini-movie comes on. It's Marian.
"Congratulations! Today, the role of Marian Crane is being
played by..." Marian morphs into NotBrent "...Brent Lawrence!
That's right! I'm back! And I've got Lucy. I'll tell you
more when you need to know." The loop ends. Everyone stares
at each other in disbelief. 

THE END
