                        GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE
                        TUESDAY, June 4, 1996

Early AM at LOWHAD:
Annie & Josh are in bed; he rolls over and calls out Reva's name in his sleep.

Breva's Bedroom:
Buzz and Reva snuggle under purple sheets.  She buzzes in his ear to awaken
him.  He thinks he must still be dreaming so she pinches him to prove he's
awake.  They  swap spit.

Dina's Bedroom at Vanessa's:
She awakens.  Hart has slept in a chair by the window.  They discuss "THE PLAN."

Hart's Motel Room:
Enter Roger, fed up with Hart and his games.  Suddenly bright lights and
loud music accost Roger.  He wants to know who's there.  Then he notices an
envelope in front of the television set.  It's a note from Hart (created
from cut out newspaper letters) asking Roger how it feels to be crazy and
asking Roger to wait for him.

Dina's:
Hart and Dina continue to discuss THE PLAN in the vaguest of terms.  Hart's
worried about what Bridget said last night, but Dina says it won't affect
their plot.  He begs her to stay at Vanessa's where she will be safe; Dina
promises, admonishing him to be careful, too, and admitting she cares about
him.

Breva's:
More snuggling, cooing and billing.  Buzz feels so good he's ready to take
on Alan Spaulding.  They each thank the other for last night.

LOWHAD:
Annie turns away from Josh, telling him it's time to get ready for work.
He wants to make love, but she pushes him away.  He doesn't understand at
all.  Enter Marah and Shane, babbling about television before breakfast.
Josh and Annie both say no.  After the kids are off to eat, Annie wants to
take a picnic to Laurel Falls, but Josh has promised to attend a meeting at
the Diner.  Annie then decides she's coming to the meeting, too, and takes
a pill for her headache.

Vanessa's:
Hart is surprised that Dina has admitted she cares.  She tries to be casual
about it, downplaying her feelings.  They revert to discussing THE PLAN.
Enter Vanessa and Matt unannounced with coffee.  Both are surprised by
Dina's guest, but Vanessa backs off, leaving to go get coffee for Hart as
well.  Matt is angry, but Vanessa reminds him they need to trust Dina.

Hart's Motel:
Roger is writing a note to Hart when a delivery man brings a package for
Roger.  He opens it to find a 3 x 5 index card with a chemical formula
written on one side and LONOTRAT written on the other.  Roger exclaims,
"How the hell did he find out?"
Roger is on his way out again when he intercepts Bridget in the hallway.
He shoves her against the wall and demands to know all about her
involvement with Hart and Dina.  She claims she was only on her way to
discuss a visitation schedule with Hart and that she hasn't seen or talked
to him in days.  Roger presses her to divulge more about Hart's game.

Vanessa's:
Matt threatens Hart outside Dina's bedroom.  Hart leaves; Matt trots off to
look for Vanessa, and Dina exits her room, dressed in red.

Diner:
Eleni is frazzled trying to wait on all the customers alone, since Buzz and
Reva are an hour and a half late for work again.  Enter Griffin, and later
Josh and Annie.  Annie helps Eleni while Josh looks out the front door
where Breva are making out.  Enter Breva, followed by Matt and Vanessa.
They assemble for a meeting and Buzz reveals that Alan Spaulding bought the
mortgage for the diner and is threatening possession in 30 days.  Everyone
makes helpful suggestions, including Annie's offer of a carnival at LOWHAD
with the entire town invited.  Reva is less than thrilled at the prospect.

Hart's Motel:
More arguing between Roger and Bridget.  She denies knowing anything and
finally escapes telling Roger he needs professional help.

A Pawn Shop (???):
Hart is carrying on an enigmatic conversation with a stranger about buying
some "stuff."  It has to be good--none of that "cheap stuff."

Diner:
Buzz is uncomfortable with Annie's offer as well.  Suddenly Griffin notices
that the mortgage document that Buzz has been showing everyone hasn't been
notarized.  If it isn't notarized in 30 days, it's null and void.  Griffin
exits and a relieved Buzz goes off to work in the kitchen.  Annie follows
after him.  Vanessa and Reva spar until Matt insists they exit, too,
leaving only an uncomfortable Josh and Reva at the table.  Meanwhile, in
the kitchen, Annie's tiptoeing around her point with Buzz.  Finally he
wonders why she doesn't come right out and ask him what's going on between
Buzz and Reva.

Company:
Bridget's waiting tables when Dina enters, criticizing Bridget for blabbing
to Roger.  She says Hart could end up dead if she doesn't keep her mouth
shut.  Bridget tells Dina she better be careful around Roger because he's
certifiably nuts.

Hart's Motel:
Roger attempts to leave again, but another package has been left at the
door.  He opens it to find a cassette recorder labeled "PLAY ME" and a vial
of medicine, presumably Lonotrat.  The cassette contains Hart's voice
telling Roger how difficult it is to tell Lonotrat from water unless you
test a few drops.  Roger realizes that Hart must have switched the vials
and must know he has been drugging Dina.

Diner:
Buzz tells Annie not to look for trouble and assures her that he and Reva
really love each other and that this morning at their house was proof.
Meanwhile, back at the table, Josh and Reva argue, with Reva saying she
knows Josh hates her and doesn't want to be around her.  He admits that's
really not the case.  She's surprised.

Company:
Bridget tells Dina that Roger threw her up against a wall and that she's
sure he's lost it.

Hart's Motel:
Roger answers the phone.  Hart assures his father he's on to him.  He
claims he has the drug and that now Roger will get his due.  Split
freeze-frame on the two Thorpes, facing each other and holding phones.
