    Amanda is breaking off her engagement to Roger once again.  She removes
her ring and seems to be all business, but her face tells a different
story.  She explains that she and Roger have no reason to pretend any
longer.  Roger looks on while sipping champagne, and complains that its
unsettling to repeat the same conversation every week.  The relationship
meant more to him than business.  Amanda really should try another way to
find out how her friend feels.  She continues on, though, and is quite
surprised when Roger agrees with her.

    At the diner, Eleni thanks Buzz for helping her when she hurt her hand.
When they turn around they are mortified to find that Coop has disappeared.
 He had been sitting in his booster seat in a booth.

    Reva greets Josh at her door but doesnt seem happy to see him.  She
asks about H.B. and they talk.  Josh inquires how the search for sister is
going.  She says that she hasnt found Danni yet and may never find her.
Josh is too happy about his recent decision to let Revas attitude get him
down.  He will help her find her sister.  Reva is coming more and more
unglued, and reveals that Danni may be dead.  Josh holds and comforts her.   

    Buzz and Eleni are frantically looking for the baby.  The customers are
recruited to look for him and Buzz also leaves the diner.

    Alan greets his guest, Holly, and they briefly discuss the article
concerning Roger.  Holly tries to minimize her part in it, but Alan knows
better.  He helps himself to a brandy, and tells her he feels the article
was accurate.  The exclusive he has for her is the announcement that he was
fired by Philip.  He seems amused by it all.  Then he gets to the point of
their visit.  He blames Roger for his being fired and wants Holly to help
destroy him.

    Amanda is confused.  Roger understands why she wants to break the
engagement.  He agrees to remain business partners and appears emotionally
detached.  Amanda wants to know if his earlier statement is true -- that he
came to care for her more than he had intended.  Yes, he says, it is.

    Reva looks like shes ready to fall apart.  Josh wants to help her but
she is determined that her search is over.  She says that everything has
changed since her mothers revelation, but Joshua doesnt understand.
During the time he spent with his father he realized how precious time is,
and lets her know how he feels about her.  He cant lie to Annie any
longer, and has to tell her the truth.

    Roger has Amanda wrapped around his little finger.  He explains that he
loved the deals they made and the kisses they shared.  He also implies that
his feelings for her run deep.  Amanda seems to wish he would grovel at her
feet, but it is not to be.  Hes going to make her come to him.  He lets
her out, then leans against the door and smiles one of his Roger smiles.

    At Cedars, Jenna has found a way to make the candy striper sentence
work.  She has become a beauty consultant to patients, or one patient,
anyway.  Perhaps she should reconsider wearing the smock, since her
cleavage will probably induce heart failure in some poor man.  Michelle
notices the stir she has caused, and complains that she has no confidence
in herself.  She wants someone to love her forever.  Jenna says there are
no guarantees, no matter how special the love.  She dispenses a little
advice on love and men, and they talk about Buzz.  Its obvious that she
cares for him, even to Michelle.  Their chat is interrupted by Buzz, who
breaks the news about Coop.  Jeffrey pops in to accuse, Jenna is
hysterical, Buzz shuts them up and they all leave to look for the little guy.

    Holly doesnt want to get involved in the war against Roger, and feels
that Alan can handle him.  Alan counters that Holly knows him better than
anyone.  Alan wants Holly to use the paper against him, but Holly knows
that he will sue her for slander.  Besides, he and Alan share character
traits.  Holly doesnt think her readers will care about Rogers character
flaws.  Alan tries another angle.  He knows that Roger is in her blood and
the love of her life.  Unfortunately, his little sister walks in on the
conversation, but makes a quick exit.       

    Reva and Josh continue their painful conversation.  Josh tries to
explain that his talk with H.B. made him realize the lie he is living.
Annie deserves better.  Reva tells Josh that all through the years they
tried to be together at the expense of others.  She wants to do the right
thing so that no one else will be hurt.  Josh cant believe what hes
hearing, but Reva is determined to end the relationship.  He tries to
explain why he loves her, and the fact that shes selfless isnt one of the
reasons.  What a charmer.  Reva understands that Annie loves him, and
doesnt want Josh to leave her.  Josh is not convinced.

    Roger relaxes with a drink and says that Amanda will have to beg him to
take her back.  Meanwhile,  Amanda has a little fantasy in which Roger
takes back all he said to her and kisses her passionately.  The maid
interrupts her and is sent away.

    The diner is full of people looking for the little Buzzer.  Jeffrey is
still accusing Buzz of losing the baby, but they are back out the door
searching before things get ugly.

    Holly thinks that Alan is using her in his fight against Roger.  She
doesnt think much of the way the Spauldings treat each other.  Alan wants
to know what Fletcher thought of her article.  Holly replies that her
husband supports her in all she does.  Alan gives out his own opinion,
which is right on the mark.  He thinks that Holly still wonders what might
have been, in regard to Roger.  He is rewarded for his analysis with a
right hook, but easily deflects it.  Holly insists that he is wrong, and
leaves.

    Reva insists that all she wants is to break things off with Josh.  Josh
is very angry and wont let her go so easily.  She says that loving him
isnt good for him, but he knows better. She tells him to see the light
(good line, Reva).  She gets a few digs in on the fact that Josh sleeps in
the same bed with Annie and pretends to be in love with her.  When she asks
him to leave, he agrees, but is determined to find out whats really going
on. 

    Roger is checking on Amandas whereabouts.  Hes sure shell be back.
Amanda starts to dial the phone.  

    Jenna is a mess.  Buzz promises to find Coop, and goes outside to talk
to God.  Its not really necessary, because the little guy is quite
comfortable.  Hes hanging out with Jeffrey, and Jeffrey is sure his little
plan to discredit Buzz is going to work.

    The cameo is among Shane family pictures.  Theres actually a photo of
Roxie there.  Reva looks depressed and resigned as she calls Annie.  They
have to talk.
