  KIDNAPPERS
Viktor brings Dinah a newspaper.  The article includes, "The parents of 
Dinah Marler are asking for proof that their daughter is unharmed."  
Dinah is excited, she hopes they're having fits about their daughter 
being dead or alive.  She sees the picture they used in the paper.  It's 
her passport photo, "No one looks human in a passport photo!"

  MARLERS
Blake & David arrive.  Blake is glad Ross hasn't come home yet, it's 
their 1st anniversay.  David asks how Ross will feel when she tells him 
her theory about Dinah's kidnapping (that Dinah faked it).  Blake thinks 
Ross will be upset, but "she is such a monster!"  David tells Blake to 
wait until tomorrow to tell Ross.  They should enjoy their anniversary. 
Ross walks in and tells David that their anniversary is tomorrow.

  A STOOP ON FIFTH STREET   
Lucy and A-M are blowing bubbles, when Buzz walks up and asks why he's 
been invited to the Spauldings for a big shindig.  Lucy doesn't know what 
he's talking about.

  SPAULDING MANSION
Vivian & Charles Grant are welcomed by Alan, who is throwing an 
engagement part for Sid and Gilly.  Josh arrives and asks Alan why he was 
invited.

  ANNIE'S APT.
Replay of Annie seeing Reva's picture & "Rebecca" knocking on her door.  
Annie looks out the peephole, but opens the door and lets her in.  Reva 
says she has come to say goodbye to Annie.  Annie tells "Rebecca" that 
she's glad she came.

  5TH STREET
A-M tells Buzz to go and enjoy himself.  Buzz asks why Alexandra invited 
him.  A-M explains about the engagement party.  Buzz thinks it's strange 
that he was invited into the lion's den.  Lucy asks if A-M is curious 
about the party.  She wants to go to keep an eye on Alan.  A-M doesn't 
want to go because of the intrigues and backstabbing that goes on, but 
Lucy thinks that is why they should be there.

  SPAULDING MANSION
Before Josh gets an answer from Alan, Sid and Gilly arrive.  Gilly tells 
Alan that he has gone to great lengths to get Sid to work for him.  She 
thinks that Sid is so excited about the job that she almost doesn't mind 
losing the job in L.A.  Sid asks her if she was trying to send Alan a 
message.

  ANNIE'S APT
Annie tells Reva that she didn't have a lot of friends in Springfield, 
but Rebecca showed up and was always there when things were going wrong & 
when she felt down.  "Rebecca" offers to tell Josh about Annie's leaving 
& starts packing.  Annie, "Just like you were happy to mishandle, 
misdirect, & misguide the communication between Josh all these months.  
You'd be pleased to cross wires for us & give more advice-- as phony as 
the last bunch.  The only thing that matters to you is Josh.  Egos last 
forever, especially when they're the size of yours!  You may have died 
Reva, but that ego of yours sure didn't!"

  MARLER HOUSE
Ross realizes that their anniversary is today and tells Blake to shoot 
him since nobody forgets their first anniversary.  David leaves.  Blake 
is going to pamper Ross & make him forget his worries.  He can't stop 
thinking about Dinah and what she's going through.  He's had moments 
where he wished Dinah had never come home from Europe.  Blake was worried 
that if he had to choose between her and Dinah, he would have picked 
Dinah.  Ross says no, he's learned that whatever they go through, they'll 
come out the other side together & stronger for it.

There's a knock on the door.  It's Ed with a basket.  He remembered after 
they left his house that it was their anniversary.  Blake tells him they 
were downplaying it & Ross even forgot about it.  Ross says he didn't, he 
needed help from Ed with his gift.  He asked Ed to come over and 
celebrate with them.  She opens the basket-- it's something that holds a 
rose.

  KIDNAPPERS
Dinah practices different versions of a taped message to Ross, with lots 
of sighing and coughing.  Nothing sounds right to her, so she keeps 
rewinding and trying again.  Meanwhile Viktor is getting more & more 
impatient, "Hurry up Dinah.  It's for the newspapers, not the Oscars."  
Dinah says his problem is that he doesn't know how to work with a 
partner.  She wants them to believe her, she wants them to care.  He just 
stares at her & listens to her try again.

  ANNIE'S APT.
Annie asks Reva if it was her ego that drove her here, so she could make 
sure that Josh spent his life alone.  "The minute he starts to heal you 
rush in here & try to ruin it!  I can't believe I'm yelling at a ghost."  
Reva says she's not a ghost, "I'm a spirit and it makes a difference."  
Annie says Reva is all wrong for Josh, "no wonder you're playing tricks 
and squirming in and out of the ozone.  Because Josh found a real woman 
and you feel threatened."  Reva says she wasn't threatened, slams the 
suitcase shut, and reappears behind Annie.  Annie says Reva is making 
Josh hate Reva,  "I never asked him to hug thin air.  I love him with my 
living body.  You can't do that anymore.  Let him go."  Reva tells her to 
tell Josh about Jake.  Annie figures that the messages about Jake weren't 
real.  Reva agrees, but shouldn't Josh be told about Annie's secret.  
Annie is going to tell Josh everything, then Reva will be gone, 
vaporized, that will be the end of her.  Annie opens the door, Reva is 
standing in the hall & tells her to pack & get out of town.  The suitcase 
moves across the floor.  Annie stops it, "Let's talk woman-to-woman, or, 
woman-to-whatever."  Reva says she loved Joshua & it was forever and 
always.  Annie, "Always is over for you.  You can't love Josh or hold him 
or comfort him or take care of his children."  Reva, "Those are my 
children!  Stay away from them, don't lay a hand on them."  Annie, "When 
Marah & Shayne are sick, you don't want me to touch them?  What about 
Josh?  Should he live in the past until he meets you in the grave?"  Reva 
starts crying.  Annie, "That's not love, or caring.  That's not even 
nice."  She loves Josh and she's going to fight for him.  Reva tells her 
she doesn't deserve him.  Maybe she doesn't, but she makes him happy.  
They're going to build a life together.  The wind blows Annie's hair and 
there is thunder & lightning.  Reva disappears.

  SPAULDINGS
Ginger opens the door to Buzz, who tells her she's like a cockroach-- 
surviving many reigns of terror.  Ginger says she knows who's buttering 
her bread.  Her current lord & master is ok.  It's not the same as 
Jenna, but it's a living.   Buzz is about to ask for all the juicy 
details when Alan drags Buzz over to introduce him to the rest of the 
guests.  Alan starts complimenting Buzz.  Alan then moves to Sid & how 
wonderful he is.  Alan wants to share an idea-- he wants to become more 
involved in the 5th street project.  He proposes that they pool their 
talents & resources into one organization and work together.  A-M arrives 
with Lucy and asks who the leader will be.  Josh, "Three guesses."  
Ginger, "Dinner is served."  Vivian  thinks it sounds interesting & they 
should talk about it after dinner.

They all go to the dining room.  Alex answers a knock on the door.  It's 
Tangie, she has to talk to Alan about a personal matter.  She barges into 
the dining room and is embarrassed to find that she has interrupted a 
dinner party.

  MARLER HOUSE
Blake & Ross ask when Ed & Michelle are going to Europe.  Early the next 
morning, so he toasts their marriage.  "Eve used to say that if we could 
have a marriage half as happy as you, we'd have the best time ever."  He 
leaves to pack and find his passport.

  KIDNAPPERS
Another try at the message & Viktor grabs Dinah's face & tells her she's 
beginning to seriously irritate him.  "Do you know what happens when I 
get seriously irritated?  I need a release and that means sometimes 
people fly out of windows.  If I'm not high enough up, a passing bus is 
very convenient."  She sounds scared as she records, "Daddy".

  SPAULDINGS
Tangie apologizes to Alan about the previous night.  She wanted the story 
about Brent.  She's been going after stories & not staying in the lines.  
She trounced on what they had started, like she did with Patrick-- who 
wrote her off.  She doesn't want Alan to do the same.  He accepts her 
apology and asks if she wants him to call a car or a taxi.  Tangie can't 
believe she's being dismissed, she wants to be with him.  Tears run down 
her face.  She starts to leave, but Alan stops her & says they can start 
over.  He asks permission to kiss her & they smootch while Alex watches. 

Alan tells Alex that Tangie will be joining them, so she goes to add 
another place to the table.  Tangie tells Alan that Alex doesn't like her.  
Alan says Alex doesn't trust Tangie.

In the dining room A-M makes a toast to Sid & Gilly.  
Tangie asks Buzz how he got Brent on the plane to Seattle.  
Alan announces that he wants Sid to run the 5th Street project.

  KIDNAPPERS
Dinah is on the couch.  Viktor, "Your performance will get you exactly 
what you want."  He leaves and she looks worried.

  MARLER'S
Ross & Blake kiss.  He almost forgot about Dinah.  Tonight is for them.

  SPAULDINGS
Josh is called out to talk to Annie.  She tells him she believes what he 
said about Reva, "I saw her and I know it's not for the last time."


That's it for this week.
