* Beth & Ben discuss what to do about Phillip.
* Phillip convinces Harley to stand by him.
* Reva & clone have a confrontation. Reva works her wiles on Josh.
* Michael pulls out of his arrangement with Alan.

DINAH'S APT: Dinah tells Marcus that Hart will never know her baby 
isn't his, unless Marcus blows it for her. Just then, Hart knocks on 
the door. Dinah invites him in & Hart says they need to talk. He sees 
Marcus, who says he knows the whole story. Hart says it's between him 
& Dinah. Marcus, holding the postcard from Rob, isn't so sure. Dinah 
looks worried.

SPAULDING MANSION: Ben rings the bell & Nettie answers. She tells him 
that Beth isn't seeing anyone, but Beth comes downstairs & agrees to 
see Ben. Nettie disappears. Ben asks about Lizzie. He heard she 
confessed to killing Carl. Ben assures Beth that he didn't betray her 
confidence. Beth knows that. Her biggest fear is that "they" will 
take Lizzie away from her. Ben doesn't think so, but says Lizzie will 
have to give a statement to the cops. Beth is dreading it. Lizzie is 
so upset & Beth is afraid this will shake her up even more. Ben says 
everyone knows that what's best for Lizzie is to be with her parents 
in a loving environment. 

Beth says the psychiatrist said the same thing. She's decided to take 
charge of things herself. Phillip told  her she could count on him, 
then went running off to Harley. She can hear him telling Harley that 
they'll be together, no matter what.

HARLEY'S APT: Frank tells Harley that he could never walk away from 
Marina if she were in the kind of pain that Lizzie is, and he doubts 
Phillip would do it either. Harley isn't asking Phillip to choose 
between her & Lizzie. Frank thinks Harley should let Phillip go. 
Harley can't; Phillip needs her. Frank asks Harley to think about 
what she needs. Phillip shows up & tells Frank to stay out of it. 
Frank knows that Phillip is upset about Lizzie, but he won't let 
Phillip hurt Harley. Harley thinks Frank should leave. He goes, 
giving Phillip a dirty look on his way out.

Harley apologizes for Frank. Phillip asks if Harley agrees with 
Frank. No, she says. Phillip admits that he has to stay focused on 
Lizzie, but he promises that they will get through this. They've had 
the odds stacked against them from the very beginning, but they're 
still together & Phillip thinks that means something. 

LEWIS HOUSE: Reva reads the letter that she wrote to Sean while she 
was imprisoned in the lighthouse by her double. In the letter, she 
explains her desperate plight of not being able to prove to anyone 
that she's alive. She places the letter in an envelope and addresses 
it. The clone arrives & Reva asks what she's doing there. "I live 
here," replies the clone. Reva says Josh could see the two of them 
together. The clone says Josh just left. Reva hides the letter & 
stands up. She asks where the kids are. The clone asks if Reva held 
up her end of the deal to get Josh to fall in love with her so she 
could stay in Springfield.

Reva insists on knowing about her kids. The clone says they're fine, 
but it's up to Reva to keep them that way. The clone asks if Reva 
made love with Josh last night, using her special, intimate tricks. 
She's running out of patience & mention time. Reva says she tried, 
but didn't have much of a chance to do anything because Michael 
showed up & drugged her. The clone doesn't believe it & thinks Reva 
told them who she really is. Reva insists she'd never risk her kids' 
lives that way. The clone thinks she's a lot stronger than Reva.

DINAH'S APT: Dinah asks Marcus to stay out of it. Hart says he's 
already talked to Matt & now he wants to talk to Dinah alone. Dinah 
doesn't like the idea that Hart was talking to Matt about her. Hart 
said they were talking about what happened & what he's going to do 
about it. Marcus says Hart's not the only one involved. Hart 
understands that Dinah has a say in this too, but Marcus says that's 
not what he means. Dinah tells Marcus that she already told Hart that 
she doesn't want anything from him. The most important thing is the 
baby. Marcus has been a good friend to her. She wants him to calm 
down & agree with her & not dump all the stuff they were just talking 
about on Hart. Dinah says it's a big surprise, but it's a good 
surprise. Suddenly, she runs out of the room to barf.

SPAULDING ENTERPRISES: Michael shows up to see Alan. Alan is glad to 
see him, but asks him to call ahead in the future. Michael says there 
won't be any future on the cloning project. He's had second thoughts. 
Alan says Michael has two weeks to show results. If he needs more 
money or equipment, that's fine. Michael says he's not sure he wants 
to go ahead with the project after what happened with the first 
clone. Alan assumes it died. Michael says it's a lot more complicated 
than Alan thinks. They're dealing with human beings & sending them 
out into the world. But the world isn't a lab & there are too many 
things that can't be controlled.

LEWIS HOUSE: The clone reminds Reva that she warned her about 
betraying her. Reva insists she did no such thing. The clone doesn't 
believe her. Reva says she didn't have enough time because of the 
injection. The clone thinks Reva made the story up. The clone says 
Reva keeps forgetting that they think alike. On the contrary, Reva 
says she's banking on it, because if it's true, then the clone won't 
hurt the kids. The clone says that's an area where they're a little 
different. She likes the kids well enough, but she didn't give birth 
to them, and she doesn't have maternal instincts. Reva disagrees; 
she's sure the clone does. The clone doesn't want to hurt the kids, 
especially Marah. But it's Reva's fault that they're in this 
situation. She left all those clues for Josh, which got him thinking 
about Reva instead of the clone, and why he decided to send her away. 
Reva messed things up, so Reva has to fix them. Reva pushes the clone 
down onto the couch & says the game is over. She wants the clone to 
tell her where the kids are right now.

SPAULDING MANSION: Ben says Phillip won't put Harley or anything else 
above Lizzie. Beth agrees, but says as soon as Lizzie is well again, 
Phillip will be gone. Ben isn't so sure. First of all, it's going to 
take a while for Lizzie to get over this. By that time, she'll be so 
used to having both Beth & Phillip around, that he'll be afraid to 
leave her. Beth asks what kind of life it would be for her, knowing 
Phillip is only there out of obligation to Lizzie. Ben doesn't think 
the relationship with Harley will last. Beth doesn't agree. 

Ben says Phillip is very mixed up, citing how he accused Ben of 
sleeping with Beth in a public place, then went to Griffin the next 
day & lied that he was just being a jealous fool. Beth says he just 
did it to try to keep her out of jail. Ben doesn't think Phillip was 
putting on an act; he just can't help himself. He thinks Beth can 
have him back if she wants. Beth says she used to think she would 
take him back no matter what, but she doesn't want to be the choice 
that he was forced to make.

HARLEY'S: Phillip knows he's asking Harley to take a leap faith, but 
he knows she's a risk-taker. Harley says she's just trying to save 
her heart by using her brain. As she gets teary, Phillip urges her to 
remember how long it took her to admit she needed him in the first 
place. Harley says she's just a little confused right now. Phillip 
isn't confused at all. "I need you. I need you so much." He asks 
Harley not to give up.

LEWIS HOUSE: The clone cries out in pain as Reva holds her down & 
bends her arm back. Reva says she's had enough of the clone's 
insanity. Through all the crazy things the clone did, Reva tried to 
understand & even felt sorry for her, but now she wants to know where 
the kids are or she'll choke it out of the clone. The clone tells 
Reva to go call the police & tell everyone she's alive, but it won't 
bring the kids back. Only she, the clone, can do that. Reva tells her 
to do it. The clone says maybe the kids aren't so fine after all. 
Maybe they are locked up somewhere, hungry & thirsty & calling for 
their mama. Reva lets the clone up & asks what she's made of. There 
are children's lives at stake. "My life is at stake," says the clone. 
Without the kids & Josh, she has no life. Reva is a survivor & should 
understand that better than anyone. She thinks Reva should understand 
that. They hear a car drive up. Reva thinks Josh is back. The clone 
tells Reva to do what she's supposed to. She runs out the back.

Josh enters & says hi to Reva. He wanted to get back before she woke 
up & explain about last night. She doesn't want to talk anymore. She 
clings to him & asks him to hold her.

SPAULDING ENTERPRISES: Alan asks if Michael wants to go down in 
history as a great scientist, or the creator of a failed perfume 
line. Michael says Alan has no idea what it's like to look into the 
face of someone who is identical to someone else, and realize that 
there's nothing in that person's mind except what you put in there. 
Josh wondered how he could even think of doing this again. Alan 
thinks Michael is trying to pit Josh & Alan against each other in a 
bidding war. Michael says Josh wants nothing to do with the project.

LEWIS HOUSE: Josh tells Reva he's sorry about what happened last 
night. He didn't expect Michael to sedate her, but she was out of 
control. Reva apologizes. Josh says Marah called from camp. Both kids 
are there and fine. Reva remembers the clone telling her to make Josh 
think she's the clone. Josh asks if Reva remembers what she was 
saying last night. Reva says she was only saying those things so Josh 
wouldn't send her away. Josh is relieved; he was beginning to think 
the clone had convinced herself that she was Reva. Reva says she 
knows who she is & she understands why Josh wants her to go away. 
Josh says he tried to make it work, but he put her in an impossible 
position. When she acted like Reva, it hurt him, and when she didn't, 
it hurt him even more. He can never separate the clone from Reva. He 
realizes this must be hurting her. Reva reaches for him, but he 
gently pushes her away. She says they need each other now, more than 
he knows.

DINAH'S: Hart wonders if they should call a doctor; Marcus says it's 
only morning sickness. Hart says Marcus can leave, but Marcus says 
he's staying for his friend. Hart says he intends to do the right 
thing. Marcus asks what that means. Dinah certainly doesn't need 
money. Hart asks what Marcus's problem is. Marcus says the problem is 
Hart's & Dinah's. Dinah loves Hart, but Hart loves Cassie. Hart 
admits this is a problem. It's all so new to him; she just threw it 
in his face. He's not even sure if the baby is his. Marcus asks where 
Hart got that idea. Hart says it doesn't matter. His point is, he 
won't walk out on Dinah; he doesn't want to hurt her.

Dinah returns & walks Marcus to the door. He asks if there's anything 
he can do to help & says he didn't tell Hart. She thanks him & sends 
him on his way. She returns to Hart & asks if they can talk later 
because she feels rotten. Hart he has some questions that won't wait.

HARLEY'S: Phillip wants Harley to come back to the mansion with him. 
He wants her with him. He's happy that Harley kept pushing, because 
in the end, Lizzie was able to tell them the truth & now she'll get 
the help she needs. "You've been with me through all the garbage; you 
may as well stick around for the good times." Harley agrees. She puts 
her head against his chest.

MANSION: Beth says Phillip has been tying himself up in knots trying 
to do the right thing by everyone, so she's decided to move herself & 
Lizzie out of the house. "Finally!" says Ben. Beth can't deal with 
agonizing over Phillip anymore. Ben thinks this will make Phillip 
come back to Beth like a yo-yo. Beth says Lizzie needs a happy 
father, and Phillip won't be happy as long as he feels like a 
prisoner in his own house. Ben thinks Beth has changed since they 
first met. She's stronger & more determined. Why couldn't he have 
fallen in love with her?

LEWIS HOUSE: Josh cares about the clone and doesn't want to hurt her 
anymore. When he gave into the feelings that he did have, it only 
made things more difficult for both of them. Reva says that's OK. She 
thinks Reva would understand that Josh did what he did because he 
loved her & missed her so much. "But it wasn't fair to you," says 
Josh. Reva says she just wants to make Josh to feel better, but she 
obviously can't, so she thinks the best thing for both of them is for 
her to leave. This makes Josh feel even worse. Reva says he's a 
wonderful man & he's tried so hard to make it work out. Josh is sorry 
that it didn't. Reva says she is too, but she doesn't blame him for 
missing his wife & not being able to forget her. But it doesn't stop 
her from loving him or wanting to kiss him. It makes her want him 
even more. She reaches out to him & he resists, but she begs for just 
one kiss. Josh relents & Reva kisses him with everything in her. Josh 
pulls away. "Reva!" he says, confused.

PENTHOUSE: Hart says Marcus doesn't think he'll stand by her. Dinah 
says she's not asking for anything. Hart says if she's carrying her 
child, she's obviously asking for something. She knows how he feels 
about kids. He's obviously going to take responsibility for his 
child. But she's lied to him before. She planned a surprise wedding. 
Dinah says she did it because she loved him, but it was a mistake. 
Hart says you can't use a baby to manipulate someone. Dinah asks if 
he thinks she's doing that. He just wants her to be honest with him. 
Dinah says she's carrying his child; it's not something she could 
fake. She feels sick & looks like she's about to blow chow, but Hart 
helps her lean back on the bed & she gets over it. He presses a cool 
cloth to her forehead. She feels a little better. She knows he 
doesn't want to be there. Any other guy would be gone, but not him. 
That's why she loves him. Hart doesn't want to hear this. Dinah 
apologizes. She's afraid she's going to scare him away. He says he's 
not going anywhere. 

SPAULDING: Alan has heard enough of Michael's nonsense. He wants 
Michael to get back to work PDQ & shows him the door. Michael says he 
can't. He & Vicky both lied. They never came close to cloning a 
human. He just wanted to use Alan's lab for his own research, and 
when he was done, he would just have said that it didn't work out. He 
walks out the door. Alan follows him & says he doesn't believe a word 
Michael's saying. Michael says the reason he couldn't give Alan any 
details about the first clone is because there wasn't one, and there 
never will be. He can't do it. He's very sorry. He gets into the 
elevator and is gone.

Michael goes over to Vicky, who was waiting outside. He wants Vicky 
to convince Michael to go ahead with the project. He says it's going 
to happen, if it's the last thing either of them do. Vicky nods like 
a frightened rabbit.

LEWIS HOUSE: Josh can't get over how much like Reva the clone is 
right now. The way she kissed him & touched him. "You were Reva." 
Reva says she's not Reva. Reva's gone. "Let me be your Reva," she 
asks. She does the hearts-in-palm thing. Josh shudders & Reva tears 
up. He kisses her again, passionately.

MANSION, OUTSIDE: Phillip says Beth wasn't in great shape when he 
left & he wants to be sensitive. He wants to sit down & have a calm, 
rational conversation. Harley asks what she can do to help. Phillip 
asks her to just be there.

Inside, Beth says she understands that Ben doesn't want to manipulate 
Blake into loving him, just like she doesn't want Phillip to come to 
her out of a sense of obligation. They hug, and Phillip & Harley walk 
in. 

LEWIS HOUSE: Josh & Reva fall slowly onto the couch. Reva asks Josh 
to make love to her. "Reva," he says, & kisses her deeply. 

Outside, the clone approaches the front door, but turns when she 
hears someone call her. It's Alan. She takes a second to remember who 
he is, then asks what's up. He wants to talk to her about Josh's 
involvement in "the cloning business." The clone falters as the 
screen fades to black.
