house.  Matt says he's not leaving until he talks to Dinah.

Jessup Farm:  Dinah tells Hart that now is the time to begin their plan 
to make Roger think he is crazy.  Hart says Roger is not dumb, which 
makes Dinah believe this will be easy since Roger thinks she is.  Dinah 
is determined to make Roger know what it is like to feel manipulated.  
Dinah says:  "He used me and I want revenge.  It's time to outroger Roger".

Reva's House:  Buzz pulls away from Reva and asks her:  "What are we 
doing?".  Reva says she wants to be a wife to him in "every" way.  Buzz 
says he wants her, but they can't.  Reva wants to know why not.

Spaulding Mansion:  Alan continues to rant about Buzz and Reva's marriage 
to Amanda.  Amanda is sorry "Father" was hurt.  Alan says:  "he should 
have expected it,"  and is putting all his energies into his new business 
venture:  real estate.

Alex's LA Hotel Room:  Hawk and Alex return from driving around LA while 
trying to find someone who knew or something about Mandy Harper aka 
Amanda.  Alex says they need to find something before the Spaulding board 
meeting, where Amanda will be crowned Executive VP.  Alex is determined 
to find out what Matt Reardon has on Amanda, while Hawk thinks this may 
be a wild goose chase.

Jessup Farm:  Dinah wants to make Roger crazy for real  Hart says in 
order to do that you must find out the person's strengths and 
weaknesses and Roger's weakness is that he always needs to be in control, 
which reminds Dinah of the time Holly chose Fletcher over Roger at the 
5th St. Ball.  Dinah remembers that was their first night together 
because she felt sorry for Roger.  Hart wants Dinah to remember when 
Roger made her feel helpless.  She says that's the night Hart found her 
at the farm, alone.  Hart wants to know if that's the night they made love.

Reardon Boardinghouse:  Bridget and David argue about Hart. Bridget says 
she doesn't love Hart anymore, but David doesn't believe her.  David 
wants Bridget to be straight with him and if she can't, at least be 
straight with herself.  Bridget says it is complicated, but all David 
knows is that he loves her and wants a future with Bridget.  He wonders 
if they have a shot.

Thorpe Penthouse:  Matt and Roger trade barbs.  Roger says he could take 
Matt, who wonders if Roger should be exerting himself after his heart 
attack.  Matt wants to know what Roger is holding over Dinah to make her 
go back to him.  Roger says they are totally reconciled and it was all 
Dinah's idea.  She burst into the courtroom to stop the divorce and 
begged Roger for a fresh start.  Matt says he heard all this.  Roger then 
wants to know why Matt is there.  Matt says, "because not one word of this 
makes sense."

Jessup Farm:  Dinah wants to work on a plan, while Hart takes out some 
videos.  They begin to watch the movie "Gaslight".  Dinah says:  "I'm not 
proud; I'll steal an idea from anywhere."

Reva's House:  Buzz tries to guess why Reva is coming onto him.  Reva 
says she likes him alot.  Buzz then realizes Reva is doing this out of 
gratitude and says:  "They need to get something straight, right now."

***************************************************************************

HALFTIME

****************************************************************************


Reva's House:  Buzz explains that WHEN they make love, it will be 
spectacular and not out of pity or gratitude.  He wants Reva to be crazy 
about him, like Buzz is about her.  Reva agrees to what Buzz wants and 
they decide to play poker instead.

Spaulding Mansion:  Alan explains to Amanda that he wants to re-develop a 
seedy area of town into an enterprise zone, which will turn a huge 
profit.  Amanda wants to help Alan, but he wants his next empire to be 
all his own.  Amanda still wants to be included, but Alan says he doesn't 
share power well; "Just ask one of your brothers".  Amanda offers to put 
up seed money since her father is not liquid.  Alan decides to take a 
small loan from his daughter.  He then changes the subject to Amanda's 
big day tomorrow at the Spaulding board meeting.  Amanda wants her father 
there for moral support and so he can be proud of her.  Alan says it is 
up to AM.  Meanwhile, Amanda wonders where Alex is - she seems to be MIA.

Alex's LA Hotel Room:  Alex is sure there is something on Amanda in LA.  
She is certain that Amanda's secret will blow up the family, but Alex 
doesn't understand why the Spaulding men won't listen to her.  Alex says 
she can't let Amanda destroy the Spauldings, but Hawk believes Alex is 
afraid Amanda will replace her.  

Jessup Farm:  After discussing "Gaslight" and how it could relate to 
their plans for Roger, Hart says Dinah, as Roger's wife is the perfect person
to make Roger believe he is going crazy.  Dinah agrees since Roger 
watches her every move and she doesn't want to be reminded that Roger 
wants to back into her bed.  Hart wonders if he should make up with his 
father, so Dinah doesn't have to be alone.

Jessup Farm:  Dinah says that Roger wouldn't believe Hart since he's not 
exactly subtle.  Hart believes he was subtle enough to get her, which 
Dinah takes offense to.  She says what happened between them was her own 
"temporary stupidity", which will work for them since Roger will believe 
Dinah is trying to make up for sleeping with Hart.  Dinah starts to leave 
and says she will get a message to Hart about their next move.

Reardon Boardinghouse:  David wants the truth from Bridget about their 
future.  She says David has always been there for her in her "crazy 
messed up life", but she doesn't love David the way he loves or 
deserves.  David thinks this has to do with Hart, which Bridget denies.  
Bridget says Hart is in Peter's life, not hers.  David says he has always 
loved her and then he leaves.

Thorpe Penthouse:  Matt doesn't buy Roger reconciliation story and says 
he will talk to Dinah soon in order to find out the truth.  After Matt 
leaves, Roger wonders where "the stupid little girl is".  Dinah comes 
back and Roger demands to know where she has been.

Thorpe Penthouse:  Roger wants to know where Dinah was and she says she 
went to get the ice cream he wanted.  Roger doesn't remember asking for 
ice cream.  Dinah says he's tired from the long day and must have been 
half asleep when he said he was hungry.  Dinah went out and got his 
favorite with two spoons.  Roger agrees that he's not up to par and Dinah 
remarks:  "We'll fix that".

Reva's House:  Buzz and Reva play poker, Cooper style with some Jack 
Daniels.  Each is trying to out the other, but Buzz wins every hand.  
Reva hums and begins her version of strip poker.  She wants to work off 
what she owes by sitting on Buzz's lap.  With their hands behind their 
backs, Reva says she is doing this because she wants Buzz and only Buzz.  
They kiss.

Spaulding Mansion:  Alan says Amanda can handle her aunt.  Amanda isn't 
so sure, but Alan believes that Amanda is Alex's match plus he and A-M 
are on Amanda's side.  Alan starts to toast Amanda's future at Spaulding, 
but hedges when she wants to talk about his new business.  Alan then 
toasts his daughter, who is finally home and where she is going to stay.

Alex's LA Hotel Room:  Alex says Hawk knows her better than her own 
family.  Hawk says it's a pity that some sell her short.  Alex thinks 
this Amanda thing could be a tragedy for the family.  Hawk admires her 
fighting for what she believes in.  This warm moment is interrupted by a 
knock at the door.  It is Misty, the blonde starlet.  She notices the 
picture of Amanda on the table and wonders if Mandy Harper is auditioning 
for the part because she thought Mandy left town.  Alex wants Misty to 
tell her everything she knows about Mandy Harper.

With the song, "Who's Fooling Who" playing in the background the silent 
final montage finds:

Alan outside the mansion and he crinkles up the map of 5th St.

Reva and Buzz still kissing; then Reva gets up and Buzz gives her all his 
poker winnings.

Hart stares out the Jessup farm window.

Roger begins to go back to sleep, while Dinah takes more ice cream and 
stares at Roger.  A smirk comes across Dinah's face.
