Let the show begin...

CEDAR'S HOSPITAL:

Abby invites Rick for coffee but he's busy and goes off to tend to his 
patients.  Blake comes in and wants to know how Abby is doing with the "Curly 
Haired Doctor".  Abby is discouraged because she saw a picture of Sharon 
Stone.  Blake tells Abby that her problem is that she is too nice.  Abby 
should find that blonde bombshell and destroy her.

Elsewhere in the hospital....Lil tells Marcus and Dinah that Griffin is 
getting stronger.  Marcus thanks Dinah for the good coverage at WSPR of 
Griffin's shooting.  However, he is not too pleased about this "thing" she 
has going with Hart, he thinks that it is a big mistake.

BOARDINGHOUSE:  Jet, having a good hair day and wearing jeans and a 
longsleeve T-shirt, is watching a video on lyphosuction.  Hart comes in and 
Jet pretends she is getting all emotional over a commercial.  Jet tells Hart 
that Peedie is upstairs playing tarzan.  Hart says he used to do that too.  
Not like Peedie says Bridg, he's up their kicking the animal's butts.  
Bridget asks about Dinah and Hart says things couldn't be better between 
them.

SPAULDING ENTERPRISES:  Philip busts into A-M's office with the news that 
Amanda sold him all of her stocks.  The Golden Boy extends his hand to his 
new partner who slaps it away.  A-M asks how Philip could do this to him.  
Flashing the picture of A-M and Neil Everest, Phil wants to know how A-M 
could do that.

**ROLL LIGHTHOUSE**

A-M explains that it is a routine company picture.  Phil says he found it in 
Alan's study, it figures that Alan is covering for A-M.  Golden Boy was 
hoping it wasn't his brother.

CEDARS:  Blake wants to know who this blonde really is.  Abby says it isn't 
her so that's that.  Blake things her sweet friend could  use a little more 
hutspa, but that's okay cuz Blake has enough for both of them.

Blake thinks this blonde is only temporary because Rick will realize that 
Redheads sizzle and brunettes "smolder".  "I should smolder him?" asks Abby. 
 They agree that it isn't Annie, then Blake suggests they go through the 
hospital records.  Abby confesses that she already tried that.  "Way to go 
girlfriend!"  Blake wants the scoop on the blondes at the hospital.  Abby 
doesn't know where to start.  Then we see Rick talking to a blonde who looks 
like a nurse.

Elsewhere in the hospital....Marcus and Dinah discuss Hart and Bridget.  
Marcus thinks Bridget is concerned for Dinah.  Dinah thinks that Marcus 
doesn't know a scam when he sees one anymore.

BOARDINGHOUSE:  Hart tells Bridget that to be safe he's not going to see 
Dinah for a while.  Jet thinks to herself that now she has plenty of time to 
get what she wants.

SPRINGFIELD PD:

Charles and Viv walk in and Charles says he will not let her go through this 
alone.  Viv says she doesn't deserve him.  Ross, Levy, Frank and Viv go into 
the office.  Ross wants to know when Frank became a detective.  He's taking 
the test soon says Levy.  Frank questions Viv who explains that the guns were 
in her trunk because she shoots skeet at the country club.  I guess our 
detective in training already knows this.  Then Frank asks why she didn't 
offer this information up front.  Ross explains that she wasn't asked (better 
study hard for that detective test Franky).    Frank warns that he's about to 
ask a personal question then says, "Were you having an affair with Griffin 
Williams?"  Viv turns to Ross seeking guidance.

CEDARS:  Rick's gone so Blake strikes up a conversation with the blonde he 
was talking to.  She turns out to be an X-Ray technician and president of the 
Rick Baker fan club.

SPAULDING ENTERPRISES:  Lucy defends A-M who looks on smugly.  Philip doesn't 
buy the fact that the docee A-M had was a scrapbook of loving memories.  But 
Phil will give A-M the chance to prove it.  If he loves Philip so much he 
should help him find out who framed him.  No way says A-M.

**HALFTIME**

Lucy quacks and the boys bicker.  A-M thinks Philip is a fool.  Philip points 
out that he has the exact same number of shares as A-M.  A-M squeezes Lucy 
like a prize pig saying that Philip will never have her.  Lucy is confused 
(so is the updater...what the heck does that mean?)

CEDARS:  Marcus tells Dinah that Hart's car is at the Boardinghouse every 
day.  He's there to see Peedie whines Dinah.  Marcus still thinks Hart is a 
lier and manipulator.  Dinah is convinced he loves her.  Marcus thinks Dinah 
is the one that wouldn't know a con if she saw one.

BOARDINGHOUSE:  Pouring salt Bridget is watching a game show dreaming of her 
and Hart at the Bauer Cabin in a snowstorm.  In her dream Hart admits that he 
was a jerk in the past and tells Jet that she's the woman for him...he loves 
her.  Bridget snaps out of it as Hart comes in with Peedie on his back.  Hart 
steps out for a moment and Bridget asks "Tarzan" if he would like to see the 
real jungle.

CEDARS:  Marcus doesn't want to see Hart hurt Dinah again.  He makes her 
promise that she will be careful.  They change the subject to the new suspect 
in Griffin's shooting.

SFPD:  Ross tells our detective in training that Vivian doesn't have to 
answer his last question.  Frank baits Vivian into saying that she would have 
done anything to stop Griffin from seducing his own daughter.

SPAULDING: Philip says that no one is going to take his stock away.  Light 
dawns over Lucy and she thinks that Philip is trying to break up his family 
not get to know them better.  

Philip announces that he will report to work bright and early and he expects 
a corner office with a secretary waiting for him.  Alan-Michael suggests that 
Philip take his requests to the board.  Philip thinks this is a grand idea.  
Taggart will support him and take the rest of the board members with him.

CEDARS:  Dinah doesn't have the suspect's name yet.  As she leaves one of 
Griffin's goons comes to see Marcus saying that he should have taken better 
care of Griff.  Marcus lets on to the Goon that the police have a suspect.  
The goon looks shocked.

SFPD:  Mrs. Grant admits to having an affair with Griffin.  The bullet 
matches Viv's gun, but there are no fingerprints on the gun.  Levy and Frank 
go off to call the DA.  Ross wants to do the talking from now on.  Viv cannot 
believe that they are harassing such an upstanding citizen of the community 
this way.

CEDARS:  Blake gets it out of the blonde that she's had Rick over for dinner. 
 An attractive woman enters and gives the blonde a kiss.  The blonde 
introduces this other woman as her "significant other".  Blake is thrilled.

BOARDINGHOUSE:  Bridget tells Hart he's great with Peedie.  Hart says his 
life is almost perfect.   He's going to breed horses on the farm.  Peedie 
says he wants to go to the woods and eats grapes at the same time.  It's very 
cute little Peedie is shoving all the grapes in his mouth while Hart tells 
him he's got too many.  Bridget says she can't take Peedie to the woods alone 
because it's not safe for just the two of them.  Then she asks Hart if he 
wants to go.  "Please Daddy?" says the little guy so Hart cannot resist.  As 
the three of them leave a construction worker comes in and helps himself to a 
drink.  Dinah walks in and the construction worker tells her that Bridget, 
Hart, and their son went on a trip.

CEDARS:  Griffin's goon is worried.

SFPD:  Frank places Mrs. Grant under arrest.

CEDARS:  Abby's frustrated.  Meanwhile Philip tells Rick that he's going to 
try to work things out with Beth.

SPAULDING ENTERPRISES:  LAM agree that they are a team.  Lucy says that it's 
not the end of the world.   Freeze Frame on A-M as he says "For Philip it 
might be."
