Highlights:
- Jenna sends Coop away
- Annie gets artificially inseminated again
- Buzz confronts Josh
- Zach and Michelle go away together

AIRPORT
Buzz picks up little Coop and introduces himself asking what the boy=92s=
 name
is.  Jenna interjects and introduces Mrs. Frambesco, and says she is
terribly sorry but she has to quit.  Buzz and "Mrs. Frambesco" both exclaim:
"Quit?" Buzz asks if Jenna works for this lady, and Jenna says she is the
boy=92s nanny and looks warily at "Mrs. Frambesco", then smiles sheepishly=
 at
Buzz.

LOWHAD (BEDROOM)
Annie is awake, Josh is asleep.  Annie looks over at  Josh, then creeps out
of bed and gets sweats out of the drawer and sneaks out.  Josh reaches over
to her empty spot.  Annie rushes downstairs and calls Fran as she pulls on
her clothes. Annie wakes up Fran and tells her she has to meet her at the
fertility clinic in ten minutes.  Annie tells Fran not to argue with her
because she is ovulating and needs to get pregnant and Fran is going to help
her.  Upstairs Josh, is still stirring; the light on the bedside phoneset
indicates that it is in use.

LIGHTHOUSE ROLL

THE MALL
Zach and Michelle are walking hand in hand, and Michelle says she=92s glad
Zach didn=92t take her straight home.   (J no dot is off in the distance)=
 Zach
and Michelle agree that it=92s great to just walk and talk, then they kiss. =
 J
takes pictures of them kissing.  Dahlia walks up behind J and suggests that
if he wants to "get up close and personal" he shouldn=92t bother with a
camera.  Zach and Michelle end their kiss, and Michelle tells Zach to stay
put so she can get a surprise. J walks up to Zach and wonders if Zach is
cruising the mall.   Zach tells J that he=92s there with Michelle taking a
walk, and J acknowledges seeing them together.  J pats Zach on the back and
congratulates him for making serious progress with Michelle.  Zach starts to
get annoyed and beings to tell J what he can do with his congratulations,
then tries to walk away.   J thinks he knows what Zach is doing and he says,
"more power to ya".  Zach warns J not to push him.  J thinks Zach has
Michelle not knowing whether she=92s coming or going.  J says he always
thought the guy who got his way with Michelle first would be a clever one,
and now sees that he was right.   Zach tells J not to talk about Michelle
that way, in fact J shouldn=92t talk about Michelle at all.  J  says Zach is
about to make love to the most beautiful woman in Springfield then, he=92s
going to leave.  J thinks Zach will take off  before Michelle has  chance to
ask Zach if  he really loves her.  J says that=92s what all guys dream=
 about,
then says if he could get away with what Zach is getting away with=85  Zach
grabs J by the collar and yells that J doesn=92t  know anything about him!
Zach shakes J around and Dahlia rushes up and breaks them apart.  J yells
that he knows how Zach feels about Michelle, what Zach is planning to do to
her, and that=92s why Zach hates him.  Zach walks away.  Michelle comes
running up wondering where Zachary is. J turns away and Dahlia looks from J
to Michelle.  Michelle asks Dahlia what=92s going on and Dahlia tells her=
 that
Zach took off.  Dahlia explains that Zach seemed upset.  Michelle tells J
that if he has screwed her up with Zachary again, it will be the last time
and storms off.  Dahlia gives J an "I told you so" look.

LOWHAD=20
Josh is tossing and turning.  Annie is downstairs telling Fran she won=92t=
 be
talked out of this.  Fran insists that Annie wait for her appointment  Annie
can=92t wait for her appointment because it=92s tomorrow afternoon.  Fran=
 says
that=92s just a matter of hours, but Annie insists her temperature is=
 dropping
as they speak.  Fran says she is so tired, "please Annie".  Annie says
that=92s just what she remembers hearing in nursing school, "please Annie,
please Annie".  Annie reminds Fran that Fran begged her to help with the
nursing certificate exam and Annie did help her. Annie also suggests that if
she hadn=92t helped Fran would be in "some steno corporate pool". Annie=
 tells
Fran that she owes her big time and she is collecting now! Fran thinks
they=92re talking about completely different things, that Annie just helped
her through a test.  Annie thinks a favor is a favor.  Fran yells that
letting Annie into the clinic in the dead of night is a breach of medical
ethics.  Annie reminds Fran that she=92s already done that.  Fran admits=
 that
it was bad enough that she let Annie be inseminated on her first visit.
Annie gets really angry and seethes that it=92s just as bad as when she gave
Fran the answers to the test, but she did it anyway.  Annie tells Fran she
is sure that Fran is a very good nurse now, but she wouldn=92t be if Annie
hadn=92t broken some rules.  Annie hates to keep throwing it in  Fran=92s=
 face
but Fran needs  to understand that she has to get pregnant - *now*.  Annie
asks Fran if there is a night watchman at the clinic - "no", and checks to
make sure that Fran has keys and access to everything - "yes".  Annie tells
Fran to meet her there in ten minutes and hangs up.  Annie declares out
loud, "O.K. Reva, with or without Buzz, you don=92t stand a chance against
pregnant me."  She turns out the light and tip toes out of  LOWHAD.

AIRPORT
Jenna apologizes to *Mrs. Frambesco* for quitting with no notice.  Buzz
(still holding Coop) is surprised because he thought Jenna was doing so well
- she was staying at the Regency and all.  Jenna says she didn=92t want=
 anyone
to know, and thinks Buzz must understand pride.  She asks Buzz to give her a
moment alone with *Mrs. Frambesco*.  Jenna takes Coop from Buzz, and Buzz
walks away.  Jenna tells Jocelyn the nanny (Mrs. Frambesco) that she has to
take Coop and go to Chicago.  As Jenna explains that Buzz is Coop=92s=
 father,
but she hasn=92t told him yet, she tells Jocelyn to make faces and look=
 angry
and frustrated with her.  Jenna tells Jocelyn she will call her first thing
in the morning.  Jenna tells Coop he has to go with Jocelyn, hugs him and
tearfully hands him over to Jocelyn.  Buzz comes up behind Jenna and places
his hands on her shoulders.  They watch the propellers start and the plane
taxis toward take off.  Jenna chokes back her tears.

Jenna and Buzz go back into the airport, and Buzz asks if Jenna wants to
talk about it.  Jenna says Henry, the little boy, is just so precious.
Buzz thinks Henry is a big name for a little guy. Jenna agrees, but Buzz
says it was a favorite name of hers.  Jenna says she misses Henry
Chamberlain, and thinks that might be why she was drawn the child.  Buzz
says Henry is a good name to grow into.  Jenna says she is very emotionally
attached to the little boy and had no idea it would be so hard to say
goodbye.  Buzz thinks Henry is a sweet kid, and Jenna agrees, "yes, he=92s a
poppet".  Buzz is still incredulous that Jenna is a nanny to some "rich
dame, I wouldn=92t have believed it." Buzz was thinking the next time he saw
Jenna she would have her own entourage. Jenna wanted everyone to believe
that about her.  Jenna admits that Henry left her some money when he died,
then pauses.  Buzz asks if she lost it and Jenna doesn=92t answer the
question, leaving Buzz thinking that she did lose it.  Buzz says he doesn=92=
t
have much but offers to give her something to tide her over.  Jenna thinks
that=92s kind, and thanks him.  Jenna says she was down to her last nickel,
but then a friend introduced her to *Mrs. Frambesco*, and things went from
there.  Buzz laughs that even though Jenna liked little Henry, he doesn=92t
think Jenna is cut out to be a nanny since she never was the maternal type.
Jenna agrees and laughs nervously.   Buzz wonders what Jenna has been doing
for money and she says has been frugal, able to save a bit, and will be just
fine.  Buzz agrees he=92ll be fine too as soon as he gets out of town. =
 Jenna
wonders why Buzz is traveling without Reva.  Buzz tries to run off and get
coffee, but Jenna stops him and reminds him that he said he needed some time
to be alone; Jenna wants to know what=92s going on.  Buzz says Reva is=
 dealing
with her own problems, and Jenna guesses that they=92re not together.  Jenna
asks again what=92s going on and Buzz insists that he=92s fine.  Jenna tells
Buzz he is a "lousy liar".  Buzz looks at her and says it=92s a short story;
his marriage to Reva is over.

NORTHSIDE FERTILITY CLINIC
Annie is pushing Fran down the hall and looking behind them.  Annie tells
Fran that no one saw them as Fran stalls saying it=92s wrong. Annie tells=
 Fran
to stop complaining and grabs Fran=92s hand and unlocks the door.  Annie
pushes her in while Fran whines about losing her nursing license.  As Annie
pulls down the shade and turns on the lights, Fran wonders what would be so
wrong with waiting until next month or the one after, even if today is
Annie=92s last fertile day.   Annie apologizes if she sounds over-anxious,=
 but
she=92s been a little insane lately,  explaining that Fran doesn=92t have=
 any
idea what=92s been happening to her. Annie tells Fran she loves her husband
and that she=92s isn=92t going to let anyone come between them.  Fran=
 thought
Annie=92s marriage was so strong, close to perfect.  Annie says it will be
perfect.  Fran tells Annie that conceiving a child if she is having  marital
problems won=92t save the relationship.  Annie interrupts insisting that she
is a good mother and she deserves to have a baby with Josh.  Annie says a
good family equals a good marriage and she intends to have both.  Annie
pushes Fran toward the examination room asking if she can have the same
donor she had last time (because he has Josh=92s physical characteristics).
As they are about the enter the exam room someone comes into the clinic.

HALFTIME

STILL AT THE CLINIC=85
The man enters saying to Fran that it=92s the middle of the night.  Fran
nervously says she is aware of that.  Annie rushes in and says, "you must be
Dr=85..".  "Mayer" says the doctor.  Annie gushes that Fran has said so many
nice things about him.  Dr. Mayer still wonders what they=92re doing there,
and Annie tells Fran to tell him about the *wallet*.  Then Annie tells the
doctor she has never met anyone so forgetful.   Fran tells the doctor that
she and Annie met for a late supper and it was supposed to be her treat but
she left her wallet locked in her desk.  Annie chimes in that since it was
Fran=92s turn to pay she didn=92t even bring money to tip the waiter=85.they
stumble a bit, but back each other up.  The doctor understands about
forgetting; he has an important board meeting and forgot his agenda.  Fran
asks if that=92s why the doctor is there, and he says he loves the clinic=
 but
his family deserves to see his face from time to time.  Annie covers and
says she=92s sure they would love to see his face anytime.  Fran goes in=
 back
to get the agenda for him.  Annie goes on about how proud the doctor must be
of his work, and he talks about the look on a couple=92s face=92s when they=
 get
pregnant.  The doctor asks if Annie has children of her own, and Fran comes
out with the agenda before Annie can answer.  Fran gives the doctor his
agenda and he leaves.  Annie tells Fran they have to hurry now, and Fran is
worried because they almost got caught.  Annie pushes Fran into the back.

AIRPORT
Jenna is confused because she just saw Buzz, Reva and the kids and they all
looked so happy.  Buzz says that was all "smoke and mirrors".  Jenna reminds
Buzz that when he came to her hotel he was sure he had finally found the
right woman.  Buzz says he made a mistake; he explains that Reva was dealing
with personal problems when he met her and that he should have known better.
Buzz then wonders how many times he=92s said  "I should have known better"=
 in
his life, and Jenna thinks probably as many times as she has.  Jenna asks
Buzz to sit down and tell her why he married Reva.  Buzz explains that he
met Reva shortly after Nadine was murdered.  Buzz laments that *he* took
away "Frank and Harley=92s mother, the only mother Lucy had known, and the
finest woman Buzz had ever met".  Jenna knows how much Buzz loved Nadine.
Buzz apologizes to Jenna, saying it wasn=92t what he had with Jenna, but he
loved Nadine.  Buzz says when Reva showed up it was like fate, a person sent
to heal him and Reva needed him.  Buzz had blown it with Jenna and Deenie;
he thought Reva was for keeps. Buzz thinks he=92s just a fool for love;=
 Jenna
doesn=92t think that=92s so bad.  Jenna asks if Reva has gone back to Josh,=
 and
Buzz says yes, "as fast as her legs could carry her".  Buzz admits that Reva
never lied to him about Josh, but he thought he could make her forget and
was sure he had done so.  Jenna tells Buzz he always did have a big ego.
Buzz says Josh always found an excuse to hang around: the kids, Sarah dying,
and was always pretending to be his friend.  Buzz says Josh may have the
girl, but no one spits in his face and he needs to have the last word about
something.  Buzz starts off, saying he=92ll talk to Jenna tomorrow.  Jenna
says he can=92t go anywhere without her and  they leave the airport.

TOP OF THE LIGHTHOUSE (very windy)
Zach is pacing around, and Michelle runs up.  Michelle reminds Zach that she
told him not to move.  "Yeah, sorry" is Zach=92s response.  Michelle asks=
 why,
and wonders if J said something to him.  Zach says he almost hit J.
Michelle can=92t believe this because Zachary is so non-violent and doesn=92=
t
even get mad;  she thinks J must have said something pretty awful.  Zach
says it was, but it was also the truth.  Zach tells Michelle that  J said
that Zach would hurt Michelle and that he is going to. =20

THE MALL
J is taking pictures and Dahlia comes back.  Dahlia thinks it=92s good that=
 J
didn=92t go chasing after Michelle.  J thinks Dahlia is way off base, and
Dahlia says she=92s right on the money.  J tells her to let it be.  Dahlia=
 is
sarcastic about J not having any personal involvement in the situation.  J
agrees that he doesn=92t.  Dahlia goes on that J is just one of those bad=
 boys
that mother=92s warn their daughters about.  J wants to know what Dahlia=92s
problem is.  Dahlia says J is the one with the problem because he can=92t
stand it that a girl he gave up is crazy about another guy.  J tries to
explain that he "could care less" Michelle.  Dahlia thinks J is a liar.  J
admits that he worries about Michelle going off with the "Zachary guy", who
by the way his mom is crazy about.  Dahlia thinks she and Nola are thinking
the same thing:  that  J is crazy about Michelle.  Dahlia is amazed because
when Michelle liked  J he wouldn=92t give her the time of day, and now that
she likes someone else he is back in the game.  Dahlia - "I don=92t know
whether to laugh or cry, it=92s so pathetic."  J thinks Dahlia has a case
against men.  Dahlia - still sarcastic - says she didn=92t mean to hurt his
feelings and is teasing, half teasing anyway.  J admits that he has a bad
reputation,  somewhat deserved especially with Michelle.  Dahlia can=92t
figure out why that  wouldn=92t be the case.  J maintains that it isn=92t=
 about
him, but about Michelle because that "Zachary guy" is going to break
Michelle=92s heart and  "that is what=92s harsh."  Dahlia wonders what J=
 could
do about and thinks he wants to be Michelle=92s savior.  J just looks at
Dahlia and says "so sue me" and walks off.  Dahlia rolls her eyes.

TOP OF THE LIGHTHOUSE (shouting over the wind)
Michelle tells Zach not to talk that way because he could never hurt anyone.
Michelle thinks Zach is a wonderful guy:  honest, kind, and gentle.
Michelle reminds Zach that he told her he loved her, and she knows that was
the truth.  Zach admits he loves Michelle more than he ever thought
possible.  Michelle thinks that proves it, that there is no way he could
hurt her.  Zach thinks it=92s late and Michelle should go.  Michelle
(distraught) can=92t figure out how he can talk about deep feelings one
minute, then act like "her buddy" the next.  Michelle wants to know what=92s
going on and Zach tells her that he told her already,  J is right.  Michelle
screams that that isn=92t good enough; she needs to understand.  Zach=
 explains
that he has to finish the lighthouse, and as soon as it=92s done he has to
leave.  Michelle doesn=92t understand why he has to leave since he works for
himself, and he said he wasn=92t involved with anyone else.  Zach cares=
 about
Michelle more than anyone, but he has to leave when the lighthouse is
finished.  Michelle says that if he wants to leave he can, but he won=92t be
going alone.

LOWHAD
Buzz is rushing up the front step, and knocks loudly on the door.  Jenna
tries to stop him.  Buzz tells her he has to do this.  Jenna agrees to wait
in the car for ten minutes.  Buzz keeps knocking and yelling for Josh to
answer the door.   Josh calls out for  Annie has he enters the foyer.   Josh
is surprised to find Buzz at the door and tells him he woke him up.  Buzz
isn=92t apologizing.  Josh wonders why Buzz is there.  Buzz comes in=
 screaming
that he isn=92t apologizing for anything and that he should have done this
months ago.  Josh tries to get Buzz to lower his voice and mentions the
sleeping children.  Buzz insists that he said his piece to Reva, and now he
was going to say it to Josh.   Josh tries to get him to come back in the
morning and Buzz says "it=92s going to be here and now!"  Josh tries to=
 quiet
him again.  Buzz wonders if Josh remembers when he asked him a few months
ago if Josh was still in love with Reva and Josh said no.  Josh remembers.
Buzz thinks he was foolish to believe him, even though Josh was always
showing up wherever Reva was; Buzz believed that Josh as a man of his word.
Buzz thinks Laurel Falls should have been a dead giveaway, but he believed
that too.  Josh says it wasn=92t that way, and that Buzz should talk  to=
 Reva.
Buzz says he and Reva are all talked out.  Buzz tells Josh that if Annie
weren=92t pregnant he would "kick the hell out of him".  Josh looks=
 sheepish,
and Buzz guesses that Annie doesn=92t know what=92s going on.  Buzz wonders=
 if
Josh was planning  to tell Annie at the moment she gave birth.  Josh
continues to look sheepish.

NORTHSIDE FERTILITY CLINIC
Annie rises from the table thanking Fran and telling her now important this
is.  Fran hopes the procedure took because she has never done it herself
before.  Annie is sure that it worked, because she feels pregnant.  Fran
tell Annie she considers them even.  Annie estatically agrees and goes back
into her clothes, dropping her wallet.

TOP OF THE LIGHTHOUSE (still windy, still shouting)
Zach tells Michelle she can=92t come with him.  Michelle wants to know why=
 not
- is Zach in trouble?  Zach maintains that she can=92t come, it just=
 wouldn=92t
work.  Michelle won=92t accept it; she feels that if two people are in love
they can make anything work.  Michelle won=92t live without him.  Michelle
tells Zach that if he leaves she will follow him and find him.  She can see
what=92s in his heart and she knows he wants her to be with him.  Michelle
insists they leave right then and there and just go where the road and love
takes them.  Zach doesn=92t think they would even make it to the state
line=85Rick and Meta would send in the Marines to look for  them.  Michelle
doesn=92t care because they can=92t do anything to them.  Michelle says=
 she=92s 18
and she can do what she wants, when she wants, and she wants to go with=
 Zach.

LOWHAD
Josh explains that he didn=92t want anyone to get hurt and neither did Reva.
Josh thinks Buzz is a good guy and didn=92t deserve any of this.   Buzz cuts
him off laughing  that Josh is so smooth, especially when handing out
condolences - like in Italy - swamping Reva in sympathy.  Josh thinks Buzz
has it all wrong, he went to Italy because he loved Sarah.  Buzz thinks Josh
loved Sarah only because he loves Reva.  Buzz then goes on to remind Josh
that he dumped his daughter over Reva - Buzz=92s wife - who Josh never=
 stopped
loving.  Then Buzz remembers Annie=92s detox, and Josh asks to leave Annie=
 out
of it and please lower his voice.   Buzz remembers how worried Reva was
after the detox about the kids and Annie, and how that gave Josh a perfect
excuse to hang around.  Buzz says if Reva had a hang nail, Josh would be
there to clip it.  Buzz then turns the conversation to Cross Creek.  Josh
looks shocked.  Buzz wonders if Annie was right about Reva and Josh being
there together.  Buzz thought Annie was paranoid, but now he wants to know
if she was right, and Reva left before they could get there.  Josh is
silent.  Buzz notices that he isn=92t saying anything.  Josh doesn=92t think=
 it
matters, because Buzz won=92t believe him no matter what he says.  Buzz
believes that Josh knew all along that Reva loved him, but he couldn=92t=
 make
a tough decision, and Josh just wanted it all.  Josh says the short answer
is no.  Buzz tells Josh  to spare him the long answer because he=92s sick of
lies.  Buzz marvels that after a lifetime of scandal, he=92s ended up being
the good guy.  Josh starts to speak as Annie comes in.  Buzz and Josh look
at Annie, then look at each other. =20

TOP OF THE LIGHTHOUSE
Michelle tells Zach to take her hand.  Zach says it=92s crazy, and Michelle
agrees it=92s the craziest thing she=92s ever done, but she know=92s it=92s=
 right.
She explains that love shows you what is right. Michelle says she loves Zach
with all her heart and that if he loves her half as much they can make their
way together.  She notices he hasn=92t taken her hand yet - she tells him to
stop listening to J and everyone else and take a leap of faith - "we can
jump together".  Zach takes off his bracelet and throws it over the
lighthouse rail, then takes her hand and they leave. =20

LOWHAD
Annie says hello, and Josh wonders where she=92s been.  Annie asks Buzz if
he=92s o.k.  Buzz tells Annie to ask her husband.  Annie says she went for a
walk because she was so upset about Buzz and Reva breaking up.  Buzz - "you
know?"  Annie looks and Josh, then explains to Buzz that Reva stopped by
earlier.  Annie walks up to Buzz as Josh and Buzz stare down over Annie=92s
shoulder.  Annie tells Buzz that things can be worked out.  Buzz says he
hopes they work out for her.  Buzz leaves giving Josh one last dirty look
over his shoulder.  As the door closes, Jenna runs up to Buzz; she was
worried because she saw Annie come home.  Buzz says he=92s going to stay at
the diner apartment; Jenna wonders if there=92s anything she can do.  Buzz
says she=92s already done it by being there.=20

Inside,   Annie is sorry if she worried Josh, and says she had a great walk.
All she thought of was Josh and the baby, and how they=92re as close as any
couple could hope to be.  Annie kisses Josh then they hug with both of them
looking worried.
