	ALAN'S CAR
Amanda and Alan drive to the Advantage Systems office to see Chet (their
flunky).  They gloat about ruining Buzz & Reva.

	HOTEL
Buzz & Reva compliment Alex on the wedding and ask if she's seen Alan.
Phillip tells them that he just left with Amanda.  Buzz & Reva leave.
Alex wants to talk to Phillip about Amanda.  Frank interrupts them.  He's
looking for Dahlia.  Alex, "You mean that sweet young waif you brought all
the way down here, who hasn't said one word to anybody?"

	PARK
Dahlia meets with Marcus.  They look at each other and then kiss.

	HART'S ROOM
Hart & Dinah are excited about tricking Roger.  They hug.  Roger opens the
door and tells them that it's over now, for the both of them.  Dinah
starts screaming for help and Hart pretends that he's being beaten and
strangled.  The owner of the hotel and some guests come into the room.
Dinah tells them that she has Hart & Roger under control.  Roger stands
there with his mouth hanging open, while Dinah makes it sound like Roger
went berserk and attacked Hart.  Roger says Hart & Dinah were plotting
against him.  Dinah tells him to stop talking or he'll incriminate
himself.  Dinah tells the audience that Roger hasn't been himself lately.
Hart tells Dinah to watch out because Roger might have a gun.  The crowd
screeches that he has a gun and leaves.

	HOTEL
Phillip tells Frank he saw Dahlia at the Park, so he leaves.  Phillip asks
Alex why he should care about Amanda since he's persona non grata in the
family.  Alex says it's because Amanda is family.  Phillip asks if Alex is
upset that Alan & Amanda are so close.  Alex is concerned because she
knows something about Amanda and she can't tell Alan the truth.  She tells
Phillip about the Malibu Madame.

Reva tries to get some info by calling the attorney general of Florida
(they met them at the park, but his wife doesn't remember them).  Reva
wants the address of Advantage Systems, but the wife hangs up on Reva.
Buzz calls Josh to find out if he knows the phone # and address.  Josh is
asleep, but gives Buzz the info.  Buzz, "Go back to bed.  You sound so
cute when you wake up."  Reva hits Buzz.  Buzz calls the phone number and
uses an English accent to ask the man who answers (Chet) whether his boss
is there.  Buzz wants to invest in Advantage Systems.  Chet won't tell
Buzz his boss's name, but tells Buzz that the boss will be at the office
soon.  Buzz and Reva go to the offices.

	ALAN'S CAR
Alan and Amanda continue to gloat about their plan and that Lucy and A-M
will never know they ruined her father.  Amanda was surprised at how Alan
reacted to Phillip.  Alan says it's been five years since Phillip has
contacted him and he thought it was rude of Phillip to break into A-M's
wedding & to try to take away A-M's day in the sun.

	HOTEL
Alex tells Phillip all about Amanda and how upset it has made her.  She
mentions that Amanda had male hookers.  Phillip, "At least she was an
equal opportunity employer."  He asks if Amanda was successful, since
that's a Spaulding family dictate.  Alex doesn't think he's taking it
seriously enough, because Amanda could ruin the family if this came out.
She wants to know what to do.

	HART'S ROOM
Roger threatens to kill Hart.  Hart calls him crazy.  <Police sirens
approaching>.  Dinah tells Hart his father isn't well, so he shouldn't
talk to Roger that way.  Hart calls Roger crazy again.  Dinah says he
isn't crazy and tries to get Roger to go home.  Roger wants to know what's
going on.  Hart tells Dinah she needs a gun to put Roger out of his
misery.  Roger starts yelling.  Nell and another cop come in with guns
drawn.  Nell, "Mr. Thorpe, we meet again."  Roger tells the cops to leave.
Nell asks if someone has a gun.  Hart tells her that Roger, the lunatic,
has one.  Dinah tells Nell it was a mistake.  Nell wants to pat down
Roger.  Roger, "Get out of the way, you zealous half-wit."  He lets her
search him.  Dinah asks Nell to take it easy on her husband.  Roger tells
Dinah to shut up.  Nell asks Hart what happened.  He tells her that he
was talking to Dinah when Roger busted in and started tossing him around.
Roger calls him a liar, but Nell says he'll have a chance to tell his
story.  Hart calls Roger a lunatic and Roger lunges for Hart.  Nell
restrains Roger and asks Dinah if that's what happened.  Dinah tells her
that they can't make her testify against her husband.  Nell asks Roger to
tell his side of the story.  Roger laughs and says they won't believe him.
Dinah, "Don't be paranoid.  They are not against you.  They are here to
help you."  Roger tells the truth, but Hart and Dinah say that it didn't
happen that way.  Nell arrests Roger for threatening his son, stalking
him, disturbing the peace, harassment.  Roger says he will have her badge.
The other cop handcuffs him and Nell reads Roger his rights.  Dinah
promises to call Leo.  Roger, "You're both going to pay for this!"  He's
led away.  Dinah and Hart laugh, then hug.

	PARK
Frank finds Marcus and Dahlia just as they kiss.

	HOTEL
Phillip asks why Alex didn't talk to Nick about this.  Alex says that Nick
was busy with Susan and then he left.  Phillip, "And left you alone to
defend the family name."  Phillip tells her that she is in possession of
info that Alan needs as head of the family.  She doesn't want to break
Alan's heart.  Phillip encourages her to tell Alan, but she tells him that
Alan wouldn't believe her because of the tension between her and Amanda.
Phillip asks if she wants him to tell Alan.  She does.

	ADVANTAGE SYSTEMS
Alan and Amanda arrive.  Reva and Buzz are almost there.

	PARK
Frank gives Marcus a hard time for following Dahlia and for trying to take
advantage of a high school girl.  He tells Dahlia that Marcus will use
smooth talk, then leave her alone with a baby.  He tells Marcus to stay
away from Dahlia because he promised her mother to keep guys away from
Dahlia.  Marcus gets mad.


	HART'S HOTEL
They can't believe what happened.  Dinah thinks luck is on their side.
She didn't believe Hart could get the new car in there so fast.  Hart
thinks Dinah almost convinced Roger that he was seeing things.  Dinah
wants to keep up the pressure on him.  They are also pleased the Vanessa
helped them.  Dinah thinks that her grandfather would approve of what they
are doing.  Dinah was afraid that Roger would kill Hart.  Hart doesn't
think he would have.  Dinah says she will call Leo, but she might forget
to do it until morning.

	ADVANTAGE SYSTEMS
Chet gives Alan papers to show he's buying the company.  Alan & Chet leave
to see an attorney.  Amanda calls a cab to go to the hotel.

Buzz and Reva see two men leave the building.  They can't see who it is
because it's dark.  They decide to follow the car to see if it's Alan.

	HOTEL
Phillip tells Alex that he didn't come back to do Alex's dirty work, "If
Phillip, the black sheep does it, then you'll get what you want.  You get
to drive a wedge between Alan and Amanda and you don't look like the
wicked witch of the west."  Even if he would tell Alan, he wouldn't tell
for her reasons but for his own.  Alex asks what his reasons would be.
Phillip reminds her that five years ago his life went wrong and he's come
back to find out why.  She thinks he should look forward, not back.
Phillip can't look to the future until he understands the past.  He tells
her goodnight.

	ALAN'S CAR
Alan gives Chet money for the next step in their plan.  Chet compliments
Amanda.  Alan tells him that she's out of his league.  Alan notices a car
following them, so he speeds up.

	PARK
Frank tells Marcus to shut up, but Marcus can't believe Frank is lying to
Dahlia about her mother.  So Marcus tells Dahlia that her mother is in
prison.

	HART'S ROOM
Dinah starts taking notes about their plan.  She drifts off and starts
talking about needing a red crayon to draw with and that she can't stay in
the lines and that the teacher won't let her draw green snow.  Hart wants
to know what she's talking about.  She snaps out of it.  Hart says she
drifted off and want's to know what's wrong with her.  Dinah says she's
just tired, so she leaves.

	JAIL CELL
Roger yells that he wants to call his lawyer, but Nell says his wife is
calling him.  Nell wants to know what's in the bottle they found in his
pocket.  He says it's heart medicine and tries to grab it.  Nell takes it
to be analyzed by the lab.

	ALAN'S CAR
Alan tries to lose Buzz, but doesn't.  Chet tells Alan about the phone
call.  Alan wonders if that is Buzz & Reva in the car.

Reva is worried about their speed, but Buzz says he was a car racer in a
previous life and she shouldn't worry.  At that moment he swerves and
crashes the car.  Freeze-frame on Reva's shocked face.
