	Amanda is at work in the board room, which affords a beautiful view of
downtown SF. Roger arrives, looking serious and bearing breakfast. She is
unappreciative, as Roger find out when she flings it off the table and
declares that the worst day of
her life was when she let him into it. She didnt even open the bag.

	In another sullen household, Buzz contemplates his view of SF from the
firehouse. He should turn around and see the vision of Jenna coming down
the stairs. Shes wearing a very flattering penoir set which could inspire
him to sing. On second
thought... Anyway, neither of them could sleep. Jenna has been thinking
about all the lies she has told, and Buzz thought about all he has lost,
thanks to her. Hopefully she hasnt brought him breakfast.

	Annie is on the floor, practicing Lamaze techniques while Josh coaches
from a book. If she gave birth now, it would be at his feet. They joke
around a bit, and Annie says shes appreciative that Josh is so involved in
the pregnancy. He replies
that its his baby, too. If he only knew that the little stranger really
is. She reads from the book about the importance of emotional support
through labor, making Josh uncomfortable once again. He is saved by the
bell as Reva calls to tell him the lat
t on her sister search. Josh seems quite relieved to have a legitimate
reason to talk to his beloved. Annie has disappeared around a corner, but
is she really gone? Reva relates that Beverly from Simon House has
collected some people who may have known 
ni. She is on her way to meet them. Josh wants to be part of it, but Reva
doesnt think its necessary. Josh insists. He talks a good argument, and
says that Annie is okay with them working together to honor Sarahs
request. Annie pops in and hears that
but doesnt look very okay about anything. They agree to meet at Simon
House. Josh apologizes to Annie for keeping the details of the search
secret, and she pretends not to care while fishing for clues. She wants
closure for them, too. She may say she w
ts to close the door on the matter, but shed rather slam it, preferably in
Revas face. Josh leaves in a hurry, and Annie wonders what shes done, now
that her efforts have brought Josh and Reva are closer rather than further
apart.

	Buzz bemoans his past and all the hurt he has caused his family by running
out on them. He feels that hes repeating the past by missing out on his
sons infancy. Jenna admits that she was wrong to keep the truth from him,
and wishes she had done
things differently. She shares a few details of the babies infancy antics
with Buzz, but he seems to think its too little too late.

	Roger tries to explain that he would have protected Amanda from the truth
if he had known what Alex was hiding. Amanda is devastated that her family
could do what they have done to her, even though they are notorious for
lying to each other. Roger
is upset that she told Alex that she knows the truth. Still, he tries to
comfort her, but she leaps away and yells at him to keep his hands off of
her. Roger understands that shes been horribly treated by men, but can
trust him to help her. She stares 
 a portrait of Alan and talks about the years she spent trying to win the
love of the man she thought was her father. 

	Annie is on the phone looking for Alan. Hes away on a business trip,
which doesnt make her happy, and she leaves a message. She then sits down
and has a conversation with the cameo. Those must be some potent prenatal
vitamins shes taking. She
informs the photo of Sarah that she will help her split up Josh and Reva.
She pins the cameo close to her heart as Marah runs downstairs, ready for
school. They are having show and tell at school, and Marah needs something
at least as interesting as a t
kle box to bring. Seriously, thats what her friend is bringing. Annie
suggests looking through her jewelry box, which she just happens to have
right in front of her. Marah is interested in the cameo, but Annie couldnt
part with it, and fields all her 
estions about it easily. Annie chooses a faux diamond pin and Marah accepts
it. After Marah leaves, Annie calls Simon House, posing as Alans
secretary. She finds out that everything is set up and will go as planned.
Just then Reva arrives, and asks Bev
ly to wait for Josh. When she learns that Reva and Josh were once married,
Beverly reveals that she guessed that Josh cared for Reva, which surprises
Reva. Josh shows up and Reva thanks him for encouraging her last night, and
that shes excited about wh
 they may find today. Beverly lets them know that they are ready.

	Coop is up and Buzz wants to get breakfast for his boy. Its Cheerios
(surprisingly a real box with the name masked), but Jenna says Coop only
has those for snack time. Instead he gives him something gross and goopy on
a plate and attempts feeding
him. The kid actually eats it. Perhaps they starve children as well as
animals before performances.

	Amanda is adamant. She doesnt want to depend on anyone for help. But
Roger wants her family to pay, and they can work together to make it
happen. Also, he advises her to never let her family see her as he has
today. She has to decide how to
handle what she has learned. She wants to make mincemeat out of Alex but
Roger tries to stop her.

	Reva and Josh talk to two young women about their friend Dani. They find
out some unsavory information; arrests, addiction, and an abusive
boyfriend. A woman named Charity Doyle knew Dani, so they decide to follow
the lead.

	Annie is talking to herself (better that than the cameo), trying to think
of excuses to bring Josh home. She could ask him to fetch her a soda. The
phone rings, and she gets to talk to a real person. Its only Billy, and as
he talks, she has an
inspiration known only to her.  Mrs. Lewis promises to give Josh the
message that his brother called.

	Beverly tells Josh and Reva that Charity will be there shortly, and that
they are lucky to have caught her before the police did. She is wanted for
auto theft and will be leaving town. Josh gets a call from Annie and has to
leave, reason unknown.
Charity shows up and meets Reva, who asks her to tell all she knows about
her sister.

	Buzz and Jenna chat about the littlest Cooper. He loves his son and
wonders when he should tell him hes his dad. Jenna wonders if Buzz will
forgive her.

	Amanda is furious and wants to wring Alexs neck. Roger knows that Alex
wont spill the beans about Amanda because it would risk her relationship
with her brother. He pulls her closer and asks her to trust him.

	Buzz wants to know how Jenna feels about him. She cares more than she can
say. Hes not happy with her reasons for keeping Coops existence from him,
but she defends herself. Coop is in the corner wearing only a diaper, so
they go to dress him, on
better terms.

	Charity tells Reva that Dani was suicidal in how she lived, but was good
to people. She was tough and always bounced back from adversity. Although
Dani wanted to leave her life of drugs, she couldnt leave a certain place.
Charity offers to show
it to Reva.

	Amanda agrees to listen to Rogers advice for now, but threatens him with
conviction. If he ever crosses her he will regret it. Roger has heard these
lines before and is unconcerned.    

	Jenna and Buzz cuddle the little bundle of joy, then are surprised to see
Jeffrey appear. Henry calls Jeff dad and runs to him. Jeffrey happily
greets his stepson.

	When Josh returns home, Annie breaks the news that when Billy called he
said H.B. is very ill.

	Reva is surprised to find out that the place Dani couldnt leave was a
cemetery. What kind of relatives does she have? Charity points out a
gravestone that was Charitys favorite. Reva sees the name on the stone -
Dutton.
