--------------
BOARDING HOUSE
--------------
Lucy ponders her costume and then checks her bruised shoulder.

----------
5TH STREET
----------
Brent is getting drunk. Alan-Michael stops Jet and asks her about Lucy.
"I stopped by tonight." "Why did you do that?" Jet barks. "Why don't
you just leave her alone?"

Patrick's arresting Buzz for stealing the proceeds. Charge: Grand 
Larceny. Patrick can't believe Buzz would steal from his own fund-
raiser. Stavros and others yell out in defense. Cutter asks Buzz
where the $75,000 is, since $5,000 was already on him. Buzz denies
knowing anything about the money. Buzz says the $5,000 he was
carrying was for the 5th Street citizens as opposed to the 50%
that goes to the party planner. "THAT's grand larceny." Cutter
goes through with the arrest.

---------------
JOURNAL BALCONY
---------------
Holly and Fletch in medias smooch. Fletch: "Maybe we should see what
(all the noise) is about." Holly: "Maybe we should see what *this*
is about." Resume smooch.

-----------     -------
JESSUP FARM (?) THE BED
-----------     -------
Dinah, while taking off a very passive Rog's shirt, is gloating over
her and Rog's unique skill of getting what they want. Smooch smooch.


==========
5TH STREET
==========
A-M's pressuring Jet to tell him what's up with Lucy. "It has nothing
to do with you, okay?" Brent steps in and tells Jet that the police
are looking for her--something about wanting to know where Skunk was
during the ball. Jet tells A-M that they will talk later. Exit Jet. 
A-M noticed tension between Jet and Brent and asks him about it.
"She's just a little touchy." A-M: "You seem to have that effect
on people."

Frank defends Buzz to Cutter. District Attorney Robinson shows up
and pressures Cutter to get Buzz "downtown". Nadine is in disbelief
that Buzz would do such a thing. "I didn't do it. I wouldn't do it."
She believes him. Levy tells everyone they can't leave until the
cops get all of their addresses. The American Revolution gals are
appalled. They second, third, and fourth guess getting involved
with Buzz Cooper. 

Mindy, Rick, Annie, Josh, Matt, Vanessa. Josh decides to head out to
the police station. He tells the group to make sure Annie gets a
ride home. Annie, staring at Rick, says that she'd rather stay with 
Josh. 

Patrick heads off with Buzz. Alan offers a ride for Tangie to the 
station. She turns him down and they both take off. 

Ross is talking to himself. "Well, I've lost my daughter, my
wife won't talk to me, can't find my car, and now I can't
get out of here 'cause it's barricaded." Eleni tells him he
needs to be Buzz's attorney. They rush off.

Carroll's holding Nadine. Mrs. Popoff is spewing trash about Buzz
to the crowd. "He conned in Vietnam. He's been a con man all his
life and he's a conman now!" Stavros and Smitty try to get her
to shut up. From the back, Nadine, enraged, screams "How dare
you turn on him! You should be ashamed of yourselves!"

---------------
JOURNAL BALCONY
---------------
The jubilant journalists continue macking. They move inside,
decide they're going to find out what's happening streetside,
and mack some more.

-------
THE BED
-------
Dinah starts to undress slowly. Followed by Rog. She mounts him.
Engage lip-lock.


----------
5TH STREET
----------
Nick fills in Holly and Fletch and they head toward the station.
Nick runs into Mindy. "So is Rick taking you home?" "No, he
caught a cab to the hospital." She reveals the Eve situation
to him. Nick is shocked. Mindy declines a ride home.

Nadine gives a huge speech about all the good things Buzz has
done for the residents of 5th Street following the fire. She reminds
them of all the hard work and planning he put into the ball.
"Well maybe he worked so hard so he could set us all up," Mrs.
Popoff shouts.  Not-David puts in some pointless comments trying
to defend Buzz. Nadine: "I don't think he's had a decent night's
sleep in a week." Mrs. Popoff: "That's because he was planning
his heist!" She's now the only one who doubts Buzz. Carroll has
mixed feelings about Nadine's fervor in defending Buzz. "The
fact that you're all turning on him now just breaks my heart!"
Nadine shouts as tears well up in her eyes. "Let's prove to him
that the people of 5th Street care about each other, and help 
each other, and believe in each other!" The crowd cheers.

--------------
POLICE STATION
--------------
Buzz is brought in. DA Robinson questions Cutter's friendly 
involvement with this case. He brings up the fire as an example.
Cutter suggests yoga. :)
Buzz once again denies having the money. Cutter turns up the
badger quotient of his questioning when Alan enters. "Shouldn't
Mr. Cooper's lawyer be present for this?" Tangie comes in to witness the
scene. Sid enters apologizing for not being earlier but Alan had
just called him. Alan turns his eyes to where he could make sure
Tangie can see what was going on. Buzz is confused but accepts help.

-----------
LUCY'S ROOM
-----------
Lucy rechecks the window locks and sees her costume. She daydreams
about what it would have been like to go to the ball with A-M. "Hello,
Lucy." Brent's voice brings a horrified Lucy back to reality. He's
come for a visit. They need to talk.

Lucy covers up. Brent says Maggie let him in. "You act like I'm
going to bite you." He's confused, she seems upset. "I'm
beginning to think there's been a misunderstanding. I thought
we had a wonderful date the other night. And whatever you told
Bridget made her think it wasn't so wonderful." He understand her
first time could be confusin or anti-climactic. There's no way
he could have lived up to what she thought her first time would
be like. Lucy: "I think you should go." "Are we okay? I can't
leave if we're not okay." "You can leave." "Both of us know
what really happened between us, right? We don't need anyone
else from the outside, who wasn't there, telling us what it was,
am i right?" Lucy terrified, nods slightly "Right." "I'll see
you at work, beautiful." He leaves. Lucy runs and locks
her door.

--------------
POLICE STATION
--------------
Sid can't get an arraignment until morning so Buzz has to spend
the night in jail. The DA is pleased. Eleni and Ross enter and
find out Sid is representing Buzz. Ross (curious): "How'd
you get involved so quickly Sid?"

Alan is hovering by Tangie. She walks away as Josh comes up and
asks what Alan is doing here. He says he's interested in some
project that will revitalize the waterfront neighborhood. Fletch
lurks. Alan says he is just trying to preserve Buzz's goodwill.

Holly: "Lewis vs. Spaulding?"
Fletch: "Definitely a stay tuned situation."

Tangie tells Cutter that they don't have any hard evidence on
Buzz.  "I agree with you, but the DA and the Commish want an 
arrest, so..." GOTCHA! Tangie pulls out a tape recorder. "You
didn't say it was off-the-record." Cutter can't believe she
did that. 

----
JAIL
----
Frank asks Buzz if he did it. No. "I had to ask."

--------------
POLICE STATION
--------------
Ross tells everyone that with Alan involved Buzz should be out in
no time. "Now I'm going to try to find my daughter, my wife, my
car, and my bed. Good night." He leaves.

Tangie defends herself. Patrick: "We're supposed to be friends.
Why are you recording me?" "I'm a reporter." "What are you going
to put in your article, that I'm an unnamed source?" "Well, of
course." "You used me!" Nadine and the rest of the mob file into
Cutter's office demanding justice. 

----------
5TH STREET
----------
Skunk says what a bummer everything is. He tries to get Jet and
David to go partying with him. They don't want to. David tries
to help. "Besides Mary's been with Peter all night." Skunk: "Who's--?"
Jet changes the subject and send Skunk on his way. David can't
believe she hasn't told him about Peter yet. They leave.

Matt and Van are the only ones left. They find a seat. Matt
wanted to be alone with her in the place where they exposed their love.


--------------------
HOLLY'S/FLETCH'S (?)
--------------------
"What food these morsels be," states Fletch. 
They rehash what happened that night. Blah Blah.
Holly: "You know I went hours tonight and didn't think of him once."

-------
THE BED
-------
Dinah and Rog macking again. He whispers, "Holly."

----
JAIL
----
Nadine checks on Buzz when a chant of "Free Buzz!" is heard from
down the hall. Buzz wants Frank to check on Lucy. He agrees.

----------
5TH STREET
----------
Lucy's out and about looking like she's running away but not 
knowing where to go. She settles on a porch a few feet from
a secluded Matt and Van. A janitor tells her what happened
at the ball.

Matt & Van speaking their love. About the fire. Matt: "I couldn't
breathe and it wasn't the smoke." Van: "It was as if my heart
stopped beating." Matt tells Van to close her eyes. He tells her
to remember how it felt when they were reunited follwing the fire.
Van opens her eyes and sees Matt's grandmother's ring. "I want
you to be my wife, Vanessa." Van smiles.

-------
HOLLY'S
-------
Holly asks Fletch to stay the night but he has to get back to Ben.
They decide that she's coming back to work and that things will
be different there, also. They say good night.

-------
THE BED
-------
"I'm sorry." Dinah: "Hush. I'm a big girl and I have very few illusions.
But even if you (and Holly) are star-crossed, it doesn't mean
we can't play together. Maybe one of our games will be called 'Getting
Holly Back'. I can be very inventive." A few more kisses. 
Dinah: "Have you ever stolen anything?"
Rog:	"Yeah, why?"
Dinah:	"Just wondering."

--------------
POLICE STATION
--------------
Odd cut to a worried Carroll (guilty?). Patrick tells everyone to
go home. Nadine tells him to go find the real thief. Carroll: "Yeah!"

Alan tells Sid to send him a bill. "That is, unless you've decided
to come on board full time." Sid questions him about his motives
in helping neighborhood projects. "It's a good cause." Alan
watches Tangie leave.

-----
PIANO
-----
Soft piano plays over:
Buzz contemplating in jail.
Then Lucy getting up and wandering away from 5th Street again.

----------
5TH STREET
----------
Matt and Van. "Did you jsut ask me to marry you?" "Yeah." "Did
you really ask?" "Yeah." "Yes, I will. Yes, I will." They
kiss and hug.

-------
THE END
