This one is a little less polished, cuz I'm in the middle of finals...
-joan the english chick

YACHT: A-M has fallen asleep in the chair where he was singing to Lucy. 
He awakes, looks around and yawns. Lucy wakes and finds him looking at 
her. She has a mild panic attack, not recognizing where she is, and he 
moves to comfort her.

CAR: Annie examines a map and decides she's almost to Cross Creek. She 
turns the key and the car won't start. "No! Don't do this to me!"

CROSS CREEK: Josh looks at his and Reva's initials carved in a heart 
on the fireplace. He turns around. Reva is there, wearing a slinky 
white negligee and a see-through white robe. "Don't stand there staring. 
Come over here to me. Take me in your arms." He says he can't. She says 
yes, he can. She holds out her hand and he reaches for it. Their fingers 
entwine; Josh gasps. "I've missed you Joshua." She moves in closer and 
they lock lips in a major way.

BOARDINGHOUSE BATHROOM: We get to see Friday's again: Matt and Dinah 
are wearing his-and-hers towels, hers pink, his blue. Dinah removes 
hers and lets it fall. Matt is unimpressed. She makes a moue (i.e. 
purses her lips) and moves in closer, sliding her hands up his shoulders. 
He shoves her away. Splash! Matt gets sprinkled as she lands in the tub 
and stares at him, then bursts into laughter.

Roll Lighthouse.

If you want steamy sex and no plot, try Y&R or B&B.

BATHROOM: Matt tels Dinah he's not interested in her at all. "I just 
don't hop on a woman just because she's willing." Anyway, she's not 
all that cute. She is unashamed and goads him some more. 

CAR: Annie tries to fix it with nurse tools. Otis appears out of 
nowhere and tells her it's no good with computerized cars; she'll need 
a tow. She asks where Cross Creek is; he introduces himself and says 
he's the caretaker. "Just three steps off the road and you're there." 
In her excitement she kisses him exuberantly, and runs off. "Y'all 
come back now, hear?" says the lecherous Otis.

CROSS CREEK: Josh and Reva continue passionate smooching. She takes off 
his shirt. He takes off her peignoir. She says "I love you" over and 
over as they kiss more and get reallllllllly cuddly. (He pulls her leg 
up so that her thigh straddles his...you get the picture. This scene 
really reminds me of Josh's first sexual encounter with Harley.) They 
pause by the fireplace and stare into each other's eyes. Suddenly, 
they both disappear, and in a split second the camera pans over to Josh 
jumping up from the sofa, where he'd fallen asleep. Reva is standing 
behind him, now in sexy red and black. Not seeing her, Josh pants and 
gasps for a moment, then turns, sees her and jumps in shock again. He 
huffs and puffs a bit more and then starts telling her about the dream. 
It was so real, he could feel/smell/taste her. Her feet were even cold 
like they always used to be. He misses her. "You were so soft and sweet 
and so...so real. Why can't I touch you again?" She says there's no reason 
he can't. "You see Joshua, two can dream." blank stare.

Samantha from ATWT has a really ugly cat, but no more allergies!

BAR: Rocker dudes and cokeheads with multiple tattoos & lots of leather 
in their clothing dance wildly and crowd-surf. (Hey, I have two 
tattoos and I've never crowd-surfed. I don't even like punk rock.) 
Bridget is done up ultra-slut-style. She tells an adrenaline-pumped 
Skunk that she has to leave. He offers her some pills. She resists; he 
says it's like a caffeine pill, won't make her feel "wacky." Half of her 
says go to sleep, the other half says what the hell. She downs the 
pill but is instantly sobered by the sight of Brent. He slithers over 
to a random bar-slut, leaving a trail of slime, and starts his 
seduction act.

YACHT: Lucy thanks AM for singing her to sleep, something Buzz used to 
do. He asks if she had more bad dreams; she answers that she didn't 
dream at all. "You can't stop dreaming altogether." "I know that, but 
it's a pretty good start for me, right?" He looks dubious. Lucy changes 
the topic. Has he ever sailed around the world in this yacht? She takes 
a map and starts planning their course. It could takes a lifetime to 
explore everything -- AM is not thrilled. What about her life? "This 
would be an adventure. It would be exciting!" "It'd be an escape," he 
points out. Lucy doesn't see what's wrong with that. He thinks she needs 
to deal with what happened or "the nightmares are just going to follow 
wherever you go. Lucy...you said you were raped, and until you deal with 
that, I just don't think it's ever going to go away."

BATHROOM: Dinah says that if Matt had no feelings for her, he wouldn't 
be reacting so strongly. He pulls the bath curtain shut and turns his 
attention to the stuck-closed door, telling Dinah that he just wants 
her out of his life, and she's acting like a 5-year-old. "So spank me." 
;) She climbs out of the tub while his back is to her, and grabs the 
towel from around his waist. "Oo, I do get to you, don't I?" she 
snickers, looking down. He grabs for her discarded towel, just as Van 
opens the door. She enters to find Dinah standing behind Matt, both in 
towels and nothing else. (They've traded towels, in case you didn't 
catch it. Dinah's is now blue and Matt's pink.) Van stares.................

Butterfingers can make anyone's life more exciting. (?)

BAR: Bridget crowd-surfs. She's way high, bouncing all around and much 
too cheerful. She chills out again when Brent comes over to ask Skunk 
about the girl that Brent's flirting with. Brent tells Skunk that all 
women do is talk, tell nasty lies about people. Skunk should watch out
what Bridget might say about him. Lucy's name is also mentioned. Skunk 
tells Brent what he can do with his advice. Brent laughs. "Your 
girlfriend's got a big mouth." They start to shove each other, Jet stops 
them.

BATHROOM: Dinah explains to Mom about getting stuck in the bathroom. 
"It's been a nightmare, we've been in here for hours." Who knows what 
would have happened ;) if Van hadn't shown? Matt pulls Van out into 
the hallway. "I know this looks bad," he begins. "It doesn't look bad 
for you, I trust you, it looks bad for my daughter." He thanks her and 
tries to explain. "What did Dinah do to make you so angry?" Van wants 
to know. Inside the bathroom, Dinah listens and grins.....

CROSSCREEK: Reva says that she felt everything in the dream too. Josh 
says it was only a dream...can she actually walk into his dreams? She 
answers maybe it was her dream? Maybe it wasn't a dream at all. "It can 
be that way forever Joshua." He can't believe it. Does she expect him 
to stay at Cross Creek forever and just dream about her? She says she'll 
come back to Springfield with him. "What would my life be like?" he 
asks rhetorically. "Unconventional?" she suggest. He thinks he'd be 
committed within days. "We're in two cosmically different worlds." 
He invokes the kids. She looks sad. He tells her it'll never work. It 
would be awful. They sit on the sofa and she tries to convince him it 
will work..."it'd be keeping my memory alive for our children. I can live 
with them again through you." She misses the kids. "I can have them 
again." Josh admits he hasn't been the same since she "left," but she's 
not really back. "I've come so far! I need you Joshua, and you need me." 
She asks how often two people get a second chance like this. "We're no 
good apart, but when we're together we can move heaven and earth." 

Enter Annie. She stands right next to Reva, not seeing her of course, 
and demands to know what is going on. Reva stares at her cynically.

Even with energizer batteries, golf is boring.

CROSS CREEK: Annie explains about her car and meeting Otis. She sits on 
the sofa between them. Reva moves away. Annie asks Josh to say something, 
but he is still gaping and brain-fizzling. Reva looks impatient. Josh 
apologizes to Annie, saying that he tried to call her but "something" 
stopped him. Reva talks over Annie: "thought I'd taken care of this one. 
Bud, get her out of here now, don't let her spoil our night!" Josh 
stutters:
Josh: Why did you come here? Why here? Why now?
Annie: Why not?
Reva : Why her?
Josh tells Reva to stop, and of course Annie says stop what? "Stop 
following me!" He reminds her of the time he followed her to 
grandma's. Reva: "Over the meadows and through the woods" Josh yells "Cut 
it out!" Annie says this was a mistake, starts to leave with Josh 
saying no, don't leave, and Reva going yes! Reva follows her to the door. 
Josh shouts to Annie to stay. He's glad she's here. Weird things are 
happening to him. (No kidding!) He stops midsentence when he suddenly 
notices that Reva is gone. Annie realizes this is his and Reva's 
special place. He swears nothing's wrong, but he's looking around for 
Reva and Annie wants to know what he's looking for. He uses a tour of 
the place as an excuse to look for Reva. In the dining room Annie asks 
why he came. He needed time alone. She gets mad at herself again: she 
drove him away, and now she's following him. She starts to cry and says 
she understands, it was a mistake. He says no, it wasn't, it's not what 
she's thinking. "I got to the point where I care for you too much." he 
hugs her but is still looking around over her shoulder....

BOARDINGHOUSE: Matt&Van descend the stairs as he says it's tough living 
with Dinah. Jet and Skunk enter, still high, pretending to whisper as 
they go for food. Van flips on the lights and the two rave about their 
good time, all the people who got hurt moshing. Jet is way bouncy! 
Matt tells Van this is normal at Skunk's age. Van knows that, and wonders 
why he keeps making excuses. Skunk offers them eggs. Van asks if Jet is 
coming by for Peter. She says yes, but quickly changes the subject and 
asks what they did; they both say "not much." ;)  Van says she left her 
purse upstairs and goes to get it.

YACHT: Lucy can't bear to see people's faces. AM offers to go along; 
everyone already knows something's wrong. She says they never have to 
know, Brent won't brag. He says she can't keep running away "Brent 
hurt you. he violated you.." she makes him stop. AM insists that running 
away won't help, though he'd love it. He cares about her too much to let 
it go..."just being grateful that the nightmares have gone away is not 
enough." She gets mad at him. She says he doesn't know what it's like: 
he's a man, he sits in locker rooms talking about how she wanted it, she 
asked for it. He says she's wrong, it's not true. "Are you just trying to 
pave your way to me?" She thinks he's just disappointed he didn't get her 
first...now she's used material. She storms out.

Commercial

BOARDINGHOUSE BATHROOM: Van enters while Dinah is combing wet hair. "Even 
taking a bath in this place is a nightmare." Dinah complains that Matt is 
no fun in a crisis. Vanessa says whatever she was trying to do, she better 
not try it again. Dinah pretends not to know what she means. "You know 
exactly what I mean. Don't do it." Van hands her the doorknob.

Skunk has to leave. He asks Jet to think about hopping on his bike and 
getting away for the whole summer. She says she'll think about it. Exit 
Skunk. Enter Van while Jet bounces and washes dishes, Matt glaring at 
his sister in the background. Van hugs Matt and leaves. Matt continues 
to stare at Jet. "OK no, I haven't talked to him about Peter yet." 
Matt wonders how long this will go on; all of Peter's toys are hidden 
away even. Jet gets big-time defensive. He can't keep covering for her, 
and won't. 

CROSS CREEK: Annie paces with a strange look on her face. Behind her, 
the dresser drawer slides open again!!! She turns and frowns at it. 
Goes over, reaches in, retrieves the diary. "Reva Shane Lewis" she 
reads, misspelled as many have pointed out (should be Shayne). She puts 
it back; closes the drawer, turns, and the diary is on the mantel of 
the fireplace. She stares, goes over and takes it up again. Flips pages. 
Josh enters with a tray of food and stops short. "Where did you find 
that?" "I ah...ah...ah...I'm sorry." He says it's ok, puts the diary back 
in the drawer. She wants to know what he's hiding. He denies he's 
hiding anything. She wonders why does she feel like a third wheel? Is 
she interrupting something? More denial. "Is there someone else?" 
Still more denial. "I'll fight for you, Josh. I just need to know who 
I'm fighting." Suddenly Reva is there and Josh, who has a bottle of 
seltzer in his hand, accidentally spills it all over Annie. She 
screeches. Reva smirks. Josh looks stunned (I'm getting kinda sick of 
that expression). Reva: "I've really shaken things up around here." 
She laughs.

Michael Jordan buys two ballparks. (I love this one.)

BOARDINGHOUSE: Jet tells Matt this has nothing to do with Van. Jet 
loves Peter more than Matt can know. But her life is empty when Peter's 
with Van, so she has to have fun. Matt says that if she's ashamed to 
tell Skunk about the kid, maybe he's not the right guy for her. "Who are 
you to say anything? Less than a year ago you were worse than he is." He 
says he's just  trying to protect her. Jet gets mildly hysterical and 
accuses him of thinking he's better than her because he's marrying a 
society woman. Matt just listens, looking bewildered. Jet storms out. 
Enter Dinah, skimpy clothes per usual. She smirks. "You're gonna pay 
for this. In time." He looks really scared ;)

YACHT: AM broods. Lucy returns and apologizes. He says she doesn't have 
to. She says he's rght, she has to face this. She has to tell her 
family.

CROSS CREEK: Josh apologizes but Annie shakes another bottle and squirts 
him. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I get you all wet?" She douses him some more 
and starts throwing food at him. He just wants to talk. She's still mad. 
How many times has he asked her for the truth? he asks. They establish 
that they have to respect each other's privacy. He accuses her of 
"conveniently" running out of gas. She denies it. Reva laughs loudly. 
Josh yells at her to go away. Annie runs out. Josh chases her and tries 
to explain while Reva listens. He asks Annie to stay in the guest room; 
she'd rather sleep in her car. Reva is attentive, waiting for the door 
to slam. It does. Josh walks back to her, "So, are you satisfied?" She 
looks sweetly at him. "Yes." But after he leaves, her smile disappears 
and she mutters, "No."

That's all folks!
