Let the show begin...

GYM:  Hart and Matt are working out at the gym.  They both were hoping that
Hart would straighten things out with Dinah.  Hart doesn't think Matessa
ever had it this bad, but Matt disagrees.  Matt would give anything to have
Vanessa back to fight with.

PENTHOUSE:  Dinah wants to drown her sorrows in a bottle of "whine" with
Amanda, but Mandy thinks Dinah should call Hart.  Dinah would rather chew
glass.

COUNTRY CLUB:  Abby toasts the special people in her life:  Reva, Michele,
and Blake....where is Blake they all wonder?

ROADSIDE:  A man checks on Blake then goes off to call 911.  A bloody Blake
calls out for her babies.

**ROLL LIGHTHOUSE**

The man comes back with help and they notice the twins are in the car.

COUNTRY CLUB:  Abby continues her speech.  She tells of how she met Rick
and fell in love with him.  He started off her hero, then he was her
friend, now he is her love.

Holly is pacing when Fletch finds her and wants to know what's up.  Holly
says she'll tell him later.

Josh confronts Reva...he wants to spend time with her but Reva thinks he
should take care of his wife.

GYM:  Hart thinks he and Dinah are miles apart.  Matt tells Hart that Dinah
feels like he walked out on her.  Hart tried to explain what he did to
Dinah but she wouldn't listen to him.  Matt says it all boils down to if
Hart thinks Dinah is worth fighting for.

COUNTRY CLUB (another room):  Roger is sitting in front of the fire reading
a paper.  Leo joins him and has finished his research of Brandon
Spaulding's will.  His first will was null because he really was not dead
but living with the woman of his dreams and their daughter.  His second
will left everything to Alexandra and his other daughter Victoria.  Alan
didn't get anything because he was thought to be dead.  As it turned out
Victoria didn't want any part of Brandon's money so Alex inherited it all.

PENTHOUSE:  Madame Amanda encourages Dinah to make up with Hart by slipping
into some lingerie.  Dinah thinks this is better advice than when Amanda
told her to make a pine cone wreath, but Hart doesn't deserve to see her in
her flannels let alone her lingerie.  Both women agree that men are from
another planet.  Amanda asks Dinah some questions about Roger.  Dinah tells
Mandy that when she was with Roger he had his own agenda and Dinah was just
part of his plan.  Amanda is curious if Holly was part of this plan.

COUNTRY CLUB:  Holly worries for Blake.   Jeva are still bickering over why
they should/shouldn't see each other.  Annie walks in and spies them
together.  Phil wonders if Annie is okay.  Nola and J show up late, J is
looking for 'chelle who is looking at the moon pining for Zach.

Lillian makes small talk with Rabby when Rick's beeper goes off then Lil's.
 Rick doesn't want to leave but Abby understands.  Ross walks in as Rick
walks out.

ROADSIDE:  EMT's arrive at the scene of the accident.  Blake is calling for
her babies while an EMT tells her everything is going to be okay.

**HALFTIME**

COUNTRY CLUB:  Phannie recall her withdrawal from the pills, Annie says one
good thing came of that...her friendship with Phil.  Reva spots Annie and
leaves Josh in the lurch.

PENTHOUSE:  Amanda and Dinah discuss Holly.   Mandy doesn't think Holly is
sophisticated enough for Roger.  Dinah tells her not to underestimate
Holly, even though Holly is through with Roger for good.  Hart comes in and
Mandy leaves.  Hart cuts to the chase and asks Dinah if they have a future
or not.

ER:  Blake and the twins are rolled in, Jason is stable, but Kevin is not
doing very well.  Rick and Lillian come in and get right to work.  As Rick
examines Blake she calls out for the boys and Rick realizes that the babies
were in the car too.

COUNTRY CLUB:  Phillip thinks Annie has come a long way since that weekend
at the cabin.  Annie agrees and paints a pretty picture of her perfect
life. Phillip is skeptical which makes Annie extremely defensive.

Reva tells Abby that now it's time to plan the wedding.  Abby cannot
believe how happy she is.  

Folly and Ross wonder where Blake is then Ross gets a phone call from
Cedars about the accident.  As they rush off to the hospital they run into
Roger and tell him of the accident.  Amanda arrives and Leo tells her what
happened.

PENTHOUSE:  Hart wants to know if they're going to work on this or not. 
Dinah thinks Hart wants everything on his own terms and is trying to run
her life.  She wonders what they have anymore, and Hart says nothing.  They
don't live together or sleep together all Dinah does is wear his ring. 
They wondered what happened to their relationship and agree that it
shouldn't be this way.

COUNTRY CLUB:  Michele is in the room by the fire and J comes to comfort
her.  Michele talks of her father and what he would have been like if he
was at this party.  J wants to know what else is bothering her, but Michele
doesn't want to discuss it and sends J back into the party.

ER:  Lillian is comforting Blake when Rick comes in with Kevin's x-rays and
shouts that they don't' look good.  Blake calls for Kevin then loses
consciousness.  Rick tells Lillian that he's worried about Kevin's spleen
and that he needs surgery.  Ross and Co. arrive at the ER and Lil goes out
to tell them that they are trying to get Blake out of a coma, that Jason is
fine, but Kevin needs surgery.  Ross looks like he's been hit by a truck.

PENTHOUSE:  Dinah asks Hart what they should do.  Hart suggests that they
take a break.  They say goodbye and Hart leaves.

COUNTRY CLUB:  Reva invites Rabby for dinner some night because she could
use the company.  Abby thinks it must be difficult for Reva to be alone.  
Annie is tired so Jannie leave.  Meta and Abby talk about Rick leaving
early.  Abby understands that is the life of a doctor.  Philip thinks Rick
is the luckiest man around.

ER:  Amanda comes in to comfort Rog who is overcome with worry.  Ross wants
to see his family.  Rick wants to know there the Pediatric surgeons are? 
Lil tells him that everyone is tied up in surgery.  Meanwhile, Kevin's
blood pressure is dropping rapidly.  Rick says he's going to do the
surgery.  Lillian tries to talk him out it.  Rick shouts "I'm not going to
let him die dammit!  He's my son."
