			 GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE
			Tuesday, July 8, 1997

Frank & Eleni's Apartment Above the Diner:  Harley tries to convince/seduce
Philip to go to New York City with her.  The camera pulls back to reveal
Jenna and Buzz, who have been observing and critiquing her performance.
Buzz doesn't like it, but Philip thinks Starla was convincing.

Diner:  Eleni tells Dahlia she looks beautiful, dressed in her pink sun
dress ready for dinner with Marcus and Sugar.  Dahlia invites Frank and
Eleni to go dancing with her and Marcus at a club in Chicago.  Then Dahlia
spies Michelle sitting in a booth.  She's upset Jesse's in jail because of
her.

Jail:  Jailer brings Jesse a food tray.  He still has an attitude.

Diner:  Michelle explains that Jesse missed his community service because
of her.  She's composing a letter to the judge telling him the truth about
Jesse.  Enter Rick and Abby.  Rick and Michelle argue about the BBQ and
Rick's behavior there.  Rick tries to apologize but Michelle isn't ready to
forgive him, especially since Rick is not really sincere about believing
her.  Exit Michelle; enter Marcus.  Dahlia tells him they have to drop
Michelle off at the jail on their way to dinner.

Cooper Digs:  Harley wants Buzz to butt out of the "Off-Jeffrey plan."
Jenna agrees, telling Buzz he's too personally involved.  Harley's worried
that one of them may get caught before they catch Jeffrey.  Their plan does
involve breaking the law, after all.  Philip reveals he is planning to use
$25 million in bearer bonds to lure Jeffrey into the scam.

Hotel:  Jeffrey chats with a hotel employee about how perfect things have
to be for an upcoming meeting.

Elevator somewhere, maybe at the Tower's Club?:  Marcus complains again
about Michelle being involved with Jesse.  Dahlia is nervous about meeting
Sugar Hill.  She needs a kiss to calm herself before going into the
restaurant.

Jail:  Michelle comes to see Jesse, but he doesn't want to see her.  She
shows him the letter she's written to the judge and he laughs.

Cooper Digs:  More scam rehearsal.  Jenna tries to prepare Philip while
Buzz interferes.  Buzz pretends to be Jeffrey, rather unconvincingly.  Buzz
worries Jeffrey may return, but Jenna says he won't be back for hours.

Hotel Dining Room:  Jeffrey continues planning his New York scam,
requesting just the right hotel with the perfect room.  Then Jeffrey checks
out, noticing a board full of pictures taken at the Cedar's 60th
anniversary party.  Jeffrey looks carefully at one of the pictures and is
disturbed by what he sees.  He requests a copy of the photo showing Starla
and Buzz together.

Cooper Digs:  The four agree to move up the time frame on their plan.
Outside the door, Eleni eavesdrops, and worries about what she hears.
Philip waxes poetic about the wonders of the Cooper family life--especially
how they stick together.  Buzz is upset about all the risks Harley and
Jenna are taking.  Jenna and Buzz leave to get a soda.  Harley tells Philip
she's concerned about the amount of money he's risking on this scam.  She's
afraid something could go wrong.  He agrees this is a stupid plan and he
could lose his money but he's enjoying himself--and, after all, the bearer
bonds are only money.

Downstairs: Jenna and Buzz share a soda and contemplate happier times in
the future.  He reminisces fondly about their recent boink.  He doesn't
like this cock-a-mamie scheme, but he'll go along with it to get her back
in his bed full time.

Diner:  Rick and Abby chat about Jesse.  She tells him opposites attract
and points out the similarities between their relationship and Jesse and
Michelle.  He says he wants a normal "Richie Cunningham life"--and look
what he has instead.  Then he complains that his only son lives in a house
without a father.

Jail:  Jesse apologizes for laughing at Michelle.  He agrees to read what
she has written, but tears it up and drops it at her feet, finally making
her angry.  She doesn't understand why he seems to hate her.  After she
leaves, he picks up the papers to keep.

Lobby of the Tower's Club?:  Dahlia continues to be nervous as Marcus tries
to calm her.  They wonder why "Darrell" hasn't come to seat them.  They
look into the dining room and are shocked.

Diner:  Rick tells Abby he wants a family with her.  She wants to go home
and talk about it some more.  Eleni has returned to the diner and is
cleaning tables.  Enter Jeffrey.  Eleni tells him Coop and Jenna aren't
there.  Jeffrey shows her the picture of Buzz and Harley and asks if she
knows them--and if they know each other.

Towers?:  Marcus and Dahlia see a place set up as a night club.  Enter
Sugar Hill.

Police Station:  Michelle berates herself for being taken in by Jesse.
Then she goes back into the jail.  He's doing pushups.  She tells him she's
figured out why he's being so rude--he can't read.

Diner:  Eleni pretends she hates the woman in the picture with Buzz.  She
tears up the photo and tells him that girl cheated Buzz out of $200.00.
When prodded, she tells Jeffrey her name was Starla.  Jeffrey agrees to
give the photo to Eleni and leaves.  Afterward, she runs upstairs to tell
the four they had better be more careful in the future--or else Jeffrey may
figure out what they are up to.
