out yet. He says they have to give Lizze a stable family because that's
what the courts want her to have.

but she still has hopes for them. Phillip doesn't want to talk about
Harley. Beth admits that she went to see Harley this morning, to thank
her. And to see if he was really out of her life, adds Phillip.

SECOND CHANCES: Harley doesn't really see a second chance in her
situation. Michelle says her 2nd chance is that she can see again. She
felt really alone and sorry for herself. She walked out on Jesse because
she didn't want him to waste his life caring for her. Meta wishes
Michelle had come to her. Michelle tells about her "connection" with
"Carlos," who turned out to be Jesse, just wanting to be close to her.

blew her second chance. Meta & Vanessa think maybe the story's not over
yet.

DINER: Jesse confesses his doubts about Michelle to Buzz. Buzz warns him
not to listen to Drew, but to his own heart.

her lie. Dinah will do anything to hold onto Hart. She says they'll give
her baby an amazing life. Marcus wonders how long it took her to
convince herself of all this. Dinah says if Marcus won't help her, he
doesnt' have to be in her life. She warns him not to screw things up for
her. She ehads for Cedars, intent on finding a way to fake a paternity
test. Dahlia walks in as Dinah leaves.

so she can pick his brain about stuff like paternity tests.

help, but then Selena runs into Rick, who recognizes her. Selena says
she just got out of jail & wanted to visit Abby.

FARM: Cassie is sure that Dinah set up the pregnancy somehow. She can't
understand how it happened if they were only together once & accuses
Hart of being with Dinah other times. Hart insists it was just the one
time. He can see this is tearing him & Cassie apart already.

DINER: Dinah asks Marcus about Dinah. He says Dinah & Hart are having
problems. Dahlia says this isn't news. Marcus asks why she's so down on
Dinah. Dahlia admits that she only puts up with Dinah for Marcus' sake.
Marcus says Dinah is feeling insecure. Dahlia wants Marcus to steer
clear of Dinah's problems. Marcus says his best friend needs his help.
Dahlia notes that Dinah only comes around when she has a problem. Marcus
asks her to trust him, but Dahlia points out that she trusted him when
he signed them with a new agent & now their careers have taken a
nosedive. Marcus says he's a better friend than a businessman. He takes
off.

back. Buzz urges Jesse to cut Michelle some slack. Jesse says he'll
think about it. Buzz needs a ride to drop some medication off with Jenna

everything out in the open. She says she & Harley connected. Beth knows
what she's feeling & respects Harley's decision to put Lizzie's needs
above her own. Beth wants to make things work & knows Phillip's feelings
for Harley will go away in time. Phillip can't guarantee that.

Beth knows his feelings won't magically disappear, but they're doing
what's best for Lizzie. She doesn't expect him to sweep her off her
feet, but she also doesn't want any more tension between them. Lizzie
needs to see them at ease together. Phillip laughs. Beth knows she can't
make him want her; it has to come from him, in his own time. Phillip
thanks Beth. He never meant to hurt her. He hugs her & says he's sorry.

CEDARS: Selena asks Rick about Abby. Rick seems uncomfortable & says
she's not at the hospital. Selena starts to go, but Rick asks her to
leave her phone number. Selena says she hasn't settled anywhere & was
just passing through on her way to Las Vegas. Rick says maybe she can
change her plans.

Dinah thanks the intern for his help. Marcus shows up & says he's there
to help her.

but Cassie thinks Dinah's holding all the cards. Tammy runs in, thrilled
to see her mom. She says she had a great time with Hart. Cassie sends
her upstairs to get her stuff. Hart asks if things are going to change
for them. Cassie says they sure will. Dinah will now be in Hart's life
forever.

CEDARS: Selena isn't sure she can change her plans, but Rick says Abby
would be very disappointed to miss her. He even offers Selena a place to
stay.

SECOND CHANCES: Abby says she's there for all the women she knew in
prison. Van urges Meta to share the wisdom of her years. Meta says one
benefit of getting older is you can say whatever's on your mind. She
admits she's made a few big mistakes herself. Her second chance has to
do with her return to Springfield. When she left, she had a huge chip on
her shoulder & thought Springfield was a hick town & all the people
there were unsophisticated. She understimated the town & its people,
especially Bert, who she thought was so provincial for devoting her life
to her family. But when Bert got sick, she came to Meta and they got a
second chance. She owes Bert's memory and wants to make it up to
Springfield and all the people there. She's found that she loves them
after all.

Van urges Jenna to share. "I'm going into labor," offers Jenna.

FARM: Cassie isn't surprised that another bad thing is happening to her.
Hart says they can work things out. Tammy comes downstairs. She wants to
stop at the Lewis house, but Cassie says she has to go to the office.
Hart doesn't want Cassie to leave yet, but she says she needs time to
think.

CEDARS: dinah shares what she learned with Marcus -- there's an early
test they can do for paternity, but it's risky for the fetus, so she
wants to wait until 18 weeks when they can do an amniocentesis. She
figures this gives her 5 months to win Hart back.

Selena hugs Rick & thanks him for welcoming her. The intern comes over &
announces an incoming ambulance. All he knows about the case is a name
-- Harley Cooper.

DINER: Drew returns, dressed in black leather & a motorcycle helmet.
Frank appreciates her properly. She says she's delivering a gift &
points to the hot bike outside. Frank can see it's a classic. Drew says
it's a thank-you gift for Jesse. Frank says Jesse just left.

SECOND CHANCES: Jesse is annoyed when he sees Michelle & accuses Buzz of
setting him up. Harley jumps into buzz's arms & tells him that Jenna's
in labor. buzz runs to Jenna. Vanessa tells Jenna to breathe.

SPAULDING MANSION: Beth suggests going to the country club for lunch.
Phillip agrees. The phone rings & Phillip answers. It's Rick, with the
news that he's got an ambulance call involving Harley. Phillip rushes
out to the hospital, leaving a miserable Beth behind as the screen fades
to black.
