:REVA'S SPACE AGE APT.:  Annie goes to see Reva at Reva's request.  Reva tells 
:Annie that her jeweler is out of town so she couldn't have the cameo cleaned 
:or fixed.  But that isn't the only reason why she wanted to speak w/ Annie, 
:there is something that Reva needs to say that just cannot wait.
:
:PARK:  Buzz, Jenna and a policemam are frantically searching for Coop.
:
:Meanwhile Coop is safe and sound with Jeffrey in his hotel room.
:
:AMANDA'S BOUDOIR: Amanda dressed in a bathrobe calls Roger regarding 
:business.  She needs to have Roger sign some contracts.  He wants to meet her 
:at the office, but she insists that he come to the mansion.  After they hang 
:up Roger looks at the engagement ring and says "Gotcha!"
:
:**AFTER A BRIEF TWIRL OF THE LIGHTHOUSE**
:
:WE ARE FAMILY:  Reva realizes that her being around Josh and the kids all the 
:time isn't easy for Annie.  After a snide remark Annie insists that they are 
:all "family".  Reva pumps Annie about where she got the cameo.  Annie tells 
:Reva that she was told it belonged to her real mother but she isn't sure if 
:that is true.
:
:**This portion of Guiding Light is brought to you by Tide**
:
:Annie goes on to say that she never met her real mother then comments on a 
:picture of Sarah.  Annie then asks Reva what she meant by "things are never 
:going to be the same again."
:
:LEWIS OIL:  Josh and Matt argue over business then Matt wants to know what's 
:up with Josh.  Josh is ticked that Matt took on a new project (the hospital 
:wing) when they are already so busy.  Matt doesn't buy it, he thinks Josh is 
:uptight about Reva.  Josh is really tired of Matt being right all the time 
:about Josh's life.  Josh didn't listen to Matt when he warned him about 
:marrying Annie when he was in love with Reva.  And now he's in a big mess and 
:Reva doesn't want him anymore.  Josh thinks he's going to lose her forever.  
:Matt certainly knows what that feels like. 
:
:CONVENT:  A nun brings Vanessa a hyacinth which reminds Van of her home and 
:her garden.  Matt would cut them because the blue ones remind him of Van's 
:eyes.  As the nun starts to leave Van tells her she needs something, before 
:Van can say what the nun brings her Matt's picture.  Vanessa tells the nun 
:that the real miracle would be to see and touch her husband.  But even if she 
:were to get well she doesn't know how she could go home to him after what she 
:has done.
:
:PARK:  Jenna doesn't understand how Buzz could be so careless as to let Coop 
:out of his sight.

:Meanwhile, Jeffrey talks to Coop about how he snatched him from the Diner.
:
:TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT (Mandy's Boudoir):  Amanda straightens a few pictures 
:and fluffs he hair (like it isn't fluffy enough).  Rog knocks on the door and 
:is speechless when he see's Mandy in her bathrobe.  Amanda asks Rog if he's 
:okay, to which he replies "You take my breath away".  Mandy falls for this 
:hook, line and sinker while Rog is pretty pleased with himself.
:
:REVA'S SPACE AGE APT.:  Reva again explains that she realizes how her 
:relationship with Josh has been on Annie, and she regrets not being more 
:sensitive to Annie's feelings.  Annie agrees with her and continues to lay on 
:the guilt trip.  Reva says she cares about Annie who cannot understand Reva's 
:change of heart.  Annie brings the conversation to Sarah.  She hopes the baby 
:she's carrying will love her as much as Reva loved Sarah.  Then Reva tells 
:Annie that she has no plans to try to get back together with Josh.
:
:Annie has always felt connected to Reva.  Afterall, Josh saw something in 
:both of them....Reva is touched by this.  Then Annie throws in that her 
:addiction makes her crave a pill.  Reva frantically tells Annie tht she has 
:everything going for her and that Annie and Josh belong together.
:
:WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN:  Matt doesn't think Josh will every get over Reva, 
:because he will never get over Vanessa even though he knows that she's never 
:coming back.  Matt doesn't want to be with another woman because he knows he 
:could never feel the same way about anyone else.  (atta boy...give that man a 
:brownie!)  Josh thinks it is hopeless to win Reva back and asks Matt what he 
:would do.  Matt would do whatever it takes to be with the woman he loves.
:
:PARK:  Buzz thinks he sees Coop but it is just a little boy that looks like 
:him.  Buzz and Jenna hold onto each other for dear life hoping they will find 
:Coop.  They sit on a picnic table and talk then Buzz breaksdown in Jenna's 
:arms over what he has done.
:
:Meanwhile, Jeffrey tells Coop that it's showtime.
:
:IS THIS JUST SEX?  Roger tells Mandy how he respects, admires, and desires 
:her.  Rog really wants to be with Amanda.  Mandy thinks that this would be 
:just sex, but Rog puts his money where his mouth is and lets her decide for 
:herself.  They kiss passionately.  Roger pulls away and much to Mandy's 
:regret promises that this would never happen again.  Roger is going to go 
:away for a while to clear his head.  Amanda wants him to give her five 
:minutes to change his mind, then she leaves the room.

:wing.  He tells Dinah that he feels like Van is with him and watching over 
:him.
:
:CONVENT:  The nun thinks Vanessa's family would be thrilled to see her again. 
:Van tells her how she made them grieve for her, and she doesn't know how she 
:would explain that.  The nun's sure they would understand, but Van isn't 
:convinced.

:from Roger saying that he had to go.
