   YACHT
A-M brings Lucy tea as she is waking up.  She takes the cup, but is 
shaking so much she can't hold it.  "I'm never going to be safe, 
anywhere, ever again!"

   SPAULDING ENTERPRISES
Alan walks in, the phone is ringing & no one is answering.  Alex is there 
& tells him that A-M hasn't been to work since yesterday morning.  Lucy 
has vanished also.  Alex, "No reason to stage a mutiny now.  The ship is 
ours!"  Alan, "I suppose you're right.  We're back in business."  Tangie 
arrives looking for Alan to return his books-- she's spring cleaning, 
she's life simplifying, she's getting rid of the clutter.  Alan, "And 
you're starting with me."

   COMPANY
Matt thinks Vanessa is scared to talk about their future, "she's 
petrified, like a cornered dove".  Vanessa says he shouldn't compare her 
to a frightened animal and walks out.  Annie stops her from leaving, she 
wants to talk about Josh.  Something is going on and she's worried.

   CROSS CREEK
Josh is talking to a picture of Reva & him on their wedding day.  He 
asks if she wants to play games.  He has her diary & he'll throw it in 
the fire if she doesn't come out and talk to him.  The front door opens 
slowly.

   CEDARS HOSPITAL
Rick tells Eve that the blood tests show that her WBCs have stabilized at 
15,000.  Ed thinks that they can do the bone marrow transplant if she 
continues this way.  Eve says she needs to be stronger.  Ed tells her 
they can't wait too long.  Ed leaves & Rick just looks at Eve.
  
   COMPANY
Bridget tells Matt that she went to the lake on Kirk's motorcycle.  She 
asks if he's seen Lucy, she's not in her room & she hasn't seen her since 
yesterday.  Matt tells her he has nothing to say to her.  Bridget asks if 
he talked to Dad.  He tells her to drop it, he doesn't want to talk to him.

Vanessa can see that Annie is worried about Josh & tells her she doesn't 
have to worry-- he's a really strong guy.  Annie wonders if someone said 
something about her to Josh.  Vanessa doesn't know what's wrong, he might 
be thrown by the fact that he cares so deeply about Annie.  He needs to 
think about it and he's gone home to do it.  Cross Creek.  He's probably 
in a rocker, drinking bourbon, listening to Country-Western music, and 
dreaming of the woman he loves-- Annie.

   CROSS CREEK
Josh runs to the door, yells, and pulls it open.  It's Otis, the 
caretaker.  He heard some yelling and was worried.  Josh tells him he 
dropped a log on his foot.  He asks Otis to stay and help him 
redecorate.  Otis can't understand why, because the last time they moved 
things was when Reva and he needed more room for dancing.  Josh wants a 
whole new look.  That lamp should go, Reva brought it home, it's from the 
past, so throw it out.  Reva appears and tells Josh not to touch it.  
Josh, "I knew that would bring you back!"  Otis asks if Josh wants him to 
put it back.  Reva tells Josh she loves that lamp, "I promise I won't 
disappear on you again."  Josh tells Otis to put it down, he's changed 
his mind about redecorating, "unless the spirit moves me at some other 
time."  Otis, "Maybe you dropped that log on your head."  

Reva calls Josh a rat.  Josh, "How else could I keep you from pulling that 
vanishing act?  Next time I won't be so mean, assuming you won't disappear 
the next time you're losing an argument."  Reva didn't leave because of that.  
Josh asks if it was because she had to make a phone call, or go to a 
tennis match.  Reva is beyond that and beyond worrying about arguments.  
He asks why she flounced off.  She just got bored.  He tells her to be 
"real" and laughs.  "You're obviously not real."  Reva says she is.  
She's not a freak.  Josh says she is a freak, she's not real, it's hard 
for him to get past that.  Reva says they can still talk can't they?  
Josh wants to know why he can see her, but no one else can.  Reva tells 
him that Otis wasn't part of the deal.  Josh asks why he can see her & 
they can talk, but he can't touch her.  Reva, "It's complicated."  Josh, 
"It's insane."  Reva hits him with a pillow.

Josh says he's had all he can take.  Reva wonders what happened to the 
guy who looked for her for years.  Josh tells her that was before, when 
he didn't think she had...  Reva, "Gone on?  I'm here now.  You should 
accept it and enjoy it."  Josh tells her it's not the way he wanted it to 
be, not what he hoped for.  Reva, "Did you want piano music in the 
background, some waterfalls?  Me slowmo on my way into your arms?  
Telling you I've been in Kalamazoo all these years?  Or Katmandoo?  How 
about somewhere in the ocean?  My poor Joshua.  You haven't had much 
excitement in your life since I left.  Maybe it's a good thing I showed 
up!  Put some adventure in your dull gray life.  Look at the women 
you've dated since I've been gone!  Look at Tangie Hill, a trip to 
nowhere.  The relationship had zero written all over it."  Josh asks how 
she knows about Tangie.  Reva tells him he's so naive.  She's the one 
that broke them up.  Josh is shocked.

   YACHT
A-M tells Lucy that she doesn't have to run any more, he'll do anything 
to keep her safe.  Lucy is upset that Brent came into her room and she 
can't stand the thought of his voice.  A-M tells her she was brave.  
Lucy yells that she wanted to kill Brent last night and asks A-M why 
Brent raped her.  She's so scared he'll do it again.  A-M tells her to 
stop thinking about it.  Lucy can never stop thinking about it.  He 
tells her she has to talk to somebody, everyone is worried about her.  
She can't believe that he wants her to tell someone else.  Does he have 
any idea what he's asking her to do?  It'd be like living through it 
again and she can't.  Brent hurt her, "it's like being cut wide open" and 
talking about it "is like being ruined all over again".  A-M tries to 
calm her down.  He tells her she's not ruined, she's the same person.  
Lucy, "But Alan-Michael, I'm not the same person.  I was raped!  Don't 
ever look at me again.  I let you down, that's the worst part of all."  
A-M doesn't understand that, it makes no difference to him.  He tries 
to touch her, but she won't let him.  He tells her it wasn't her fault, 
she's not to blame.  Lucy tells him it makes a difference, "you know I 
was raped, that's why I ran away last night.  I can't bear to see you 
after you know what happened to me."

   SPAULDING ENTERPRISES
Alex welcomes Brent.  She asks about his black eye and bandaged hand.  
He tells her that he had an accident.  She tells him to come help her.  
He doesn't think he should let A-M see him since he was fired.  She 
re-hires him & he helps her find some files on Lucy's computer.

Tangie tells Alan they both found jail an eye opener.  Jail didn't scare 
her, but the walls she built up over the years do scare her.  She has 
to break them down if she's going to be free.  Alan thinks they can help 
each other, if they spend time together.  Tangie tells him they tried 
that and it didn't work.  Alan says it's different now, let's give it 
one month.  She agrees.

   CROSS CREEK
Josh tells Reva that's insane.  They broke up because...  Reva, "Because 
you were all wrong for each other.  She knew it, you knew it, and I knew 
it."  Josh, "Do you know everything?"  Reva, "It's hard not too, seeing 
it all from where I am.  She would have been a lousy mother.  Being 
married to a crusading journalist?  You would have been busy taking care 
of the kids, doing the laundry, and joining the PTA."  Josh, "I do that 
now."  Reva, "You're duller than Otis' fence post.  I broke you two up 
and it was so darn easy to do.  She may have been good, but not for 
you.  The same with Harley Cooper."  He protests.  Reva, "She was 
almost a keeper, but the timing was all wrong.  Too soon after I 
left."  Josh wonders if she's just making trouble.  It makes bizarre 
sense that she's been watching over him.  Reva, "Kinda like a guardian 
angel."  Josh, "No, you've been jealous."
     
   COMPANY
Vanessa tells Matt that he was right.  She's scared of what the future 
holds, not 5 or 10 years, but 20.  Her dream is to be in his arms 
forever, but she's not a fool.  He says he'll be in her arms.  She thinks 
he'll be in the prime of his life and she'll be in her sixties.  She's 
afraid that he won't want her and that he'll leave her.  Matt thinks 
it'll be wonderful to grow old with someone.  Vanessa doesn't know how he 
can be so sure.  Their age difference will only get worse.  She can't 
pretend she's not scared.

Bridget (on the phone with A-M) is surprised to hear that Lucy is with 
him.  She asks if something happened.  He tells her it's a long story and 
they'll tell her when they see her.

   YACHT
Lucy tells A-M to go to work, but she wants to stay there.  He's glad 
she's with him.  He couldn't stand to see her hurting.  If he could 
change what happened he would.  He wants her to forget and be happy 
again.  He wants to help her.

   CEDARS
Rick asks if Eve has found anything in her research that he could use.  
The test results confuse him, when all the other results don't mesh.  Eve 
tells him not to look a gift horse in the mouth, then says she can't stay in 
the room.  Rick does a search on her computer.


   COMPANY
Matt's greatest fear is losing Vanessa.  He can't imagine his life 
without her.  They kiss.

   SPAULDING
Alex tells Alan that she wants to rehire Brent.  Alan tells her they 
don't have the authority, A-M is still President.  He walks Brent out. 
Brent asks if Alan has looked at the files, A-M is running the company to 
the ground.  Alan will make his own decisions.  Their arrangement is 
between them and Alex isn't to know.

   CROSS CREEK
Josh, "You're so jealous you couldn't keep your promise.  Disappearing 
after you swore to me you wouldn't."  Reva, "So I fibbed.  Do you know 
what it's like to carry a torch through eternity?  I've never been able 
to let you go.  You've never been able to let go of me.  I do get 
jealous.  There is some consolation.  Knowing that you'll never be happy 
with another woman.  It's hard to be a non-corporeal presence."  Josh 
says he's still a corporeal presence and he thinks he could be happy 
without her and have a real life without her.

   YACHT
Lucy thanks A-M for wanting to be with her.  A-M tells her he would do 
anything for her, she'll have time and space and peace.  He calls to get 
the yacht ready to sail.

   SPAULDING
Brent listens to A-M's message that he'll be out of the office for an 
indefinite period of time, but he can be reached on the yacht if there's an 
emergency. 

   CEDARS
Eve is giving herself another injection when Rick opens the door and asks 
her what she's doing.

Annie practices asking Ed for some time off, but he overhears her talking 
to herself.  He asks her what's wrong, he wants to hear her problem.  She 
asks for two days off.  He tells her to take it.

   CROSS CREEK
Josh, "You don't think I could be happy again?"
Reva, "This nurse, this Annie Dutton, she's not the one.  She's sweet and 
kind of appealing in a naive, nursy, nurse way.  But she's not up to 
your level and sooner or later you're going to realize that.  She's not 
good enough for you."
Josh, "That's what you said when you first appeared, at the hotel when we 
were about to...  So you're going to do it again?  You're going to break 
me & Annie up."
Reva, "I just think you'd be better off if you'd just accept it Joshua.  
Don't fight.  It's not that bad.  You've still got me!"  

He walks towards her and she fades away.
