ran out the night before.  Annie says she is fine.  Josh tells her that 
he is on his way to close on the house.  Rick walks in.

David is pumping iron with a fire extinguisher when Gilly arrives.  He's 
going stir crazy.  She asks if he talked to their mother.  He did and 
says there is more going on with her than he can imagine.  And with Gilly 
since Sid went into "legal overdrive trying to cover Alan Spaulding's 
backside".  Gilly misses Sid but thinks their breakup is for the best.  
Sid knocks.  He is there to tell them that he is leaving town.

  SPAULDING ENTERPRISES

Lucy is telling A-M about his appointments for the day when Marian 
arrives.  A-M asked her to come talk about the incident with Lucy's car.  
<Marian/Brent has flashbacks to the incident throughout the scene.>  A-M 
brings in Cutter & Frank to question Marian.  When Frank is introduced to 
Marian he wonders if he's met her before.  Lucy thinks he's seen her at 
the diner.  Marian says she doesn't remember much, just two men.  Lucy 
reminds her that she told Lucy it was three men, so Marian corrects 
herself.  She tries to describe the man hitting the car.  He was tall but 
she couldn't see his face.  Cutter asks what the man used (a pipe) and if 
she heard him say something (she didn't).  Marian starts to looked dazed, 
so Lucy asks if she's ok.  Marian <softly>, "She has to pay."

  DAVID'S ROOM

Sid got a job in Washington working on urban development.  He gave his 
resignation to Alan.  Gilly congratulates him.  Sid tells her that she 
reminded him of what he always wanted to do and what really matters.  He 
hopes he won't go alone.

  CEDARS

Rick apologizes for interupting.  Josh has to go.  Annie wants to talk, 
but he doesn't want to lose the house.  Annie tells Josh she's fine and he 
leaves.  Josh runs into Hawk, who says he's there to look for a job.  Hawk 
doesn't want to work in construction because of his "bad ticker".  Josh tells 
him to stay away from Annie.

Rick gets upset with Annie because she told Josh everything is fine.  He 
asks why didn't she tell Josh about their marriage.  He won't go to 
Mexico for a quickie divorce.  Annie tells him he won't have to, because 
the lies are going to stop... today.

  DAVID'S ROOM

Lillian arrives to get David.  After they leave, Sid tells Gilly he wants 
her to come with him.  She made him look at his priorities and he walked 
away from Alan and all his games.  Sid thinks they can start over, they 
can have their dream.  He tells her to settle things in Springfield, but 
nothing can stop them.  He wants to marry her.

  LEWIS HOUSE

Josh describes the house to Ross, it's their dream house.  It needs alot 
of work, but they were led there through the woods & it felt like it 
belonged to them as soon as they saw it.  Ross asks if Hawk is still 
around and wonders if Hawk has come to terms with Reva's death.  Ross 
empathizes because it's difficult losing a daughter.  Josh asks about 
Dinah & Roger, so Ross tells him about their engagement.  Josh offers him 
vodka to go with his ice tea.  Ross refuses & says that today is about 
new beginnings for Josh & Annie and it doesn't matter if Hawk accepts it 
or not.  Josh wants to have Hawk out of his life.

  CEDARS

Lillian & David walk up to Hawk.  He tells them that he's there to see 
Lillian.  

Annie tells Rick that she almost drank bourbon last night, but she called 
Ed instead.  She wants to go somewhere private to talk.  He knows a 
spot.  As they walk past Hawk, he wonders where they're going.  Lillian 
tells him to stay out of it, it's their business.  She goes to get David 
<he left to make a phone call>.  Hawk goes into the staff room, opens 
Annie's locker <where are the locks?>, gets her address out of her purse, 
takes her keys and leaves.

  ROOFTOP

Annie tells Rick that she stared at the bottle last night & thought about 
their marriage.  She tells him it's her disease, he didn't cause it, he 
can't cure it, and he can't control it.  He tried.  She always thought he 
could make her stop.  He thought he could too.  Annie doesn't know what 
was worse, her drinking or her lying.  She lied about everything, 
including her drinking buddy, Jake.  She lied about sleeping with him.  
She drove Rick crazy and he doesn't deserve that.  She knows what he did 
for her, how much he tried to help her.  She tells him that their 
marriage did mean something to her.

  ANNIE'S APT.

Hawk breaks in and starts snooping.

  SPAULDING

Frank asks Marian who has to pay.  She covers up and says the man has to 
pay.  Cutter wants to ask more questions, but Marian is flustered.  Lucy 
wants them to stop pushing Marian because she was a victim of violence 
and this brought up a lot of emotions.  They decide to take a break.  
Cutter tells Frank & A-M that they found some partial prints on the 
pipe.  Marian is sorry she can't be more help, so Cutter gives her his 
card & leaves.  Lucy asks Marian to come to the counseling session with 
her.  Marian says no, she needs to get back to work.  A-M apologizes for 
involving her, but Marian says it's ok-- anything for Lucy.  Lucy & A-M 
go to his desk & Marian hits a button the phone and leaves the room.

Lucy tells A-M that she can handle anything after taking the self-defense 
class.  It was a breakthrough for her.  She's not going to be a victim 
anymore.  <Brent is listening by using the phone in the outer office.>  
Lucy has to learn to protect herself because A-M can't protect her for 
the rest of her life.  A-M, "Even if I want to?"  Lucy says he's done 
enough for her.  He stood by her through the Brent thing, he calls Cutter 
when she needs him, he held her together when she was falling apart.  He 
tells her she could have done it alone, but she says she couldn't have.  
She has decided to go to counseling.  She wants to be as strong as he 
is.  Marian turns off the phone & Frank walks up to the desk.

and asks if there's a wedding date picked.  Josh explains that Annie is

Blake.  Josh tells him that he is so happy, he couldn't be happier.

  ROOFTOP

Annie & Rick talk about their divorce & how he always made excuses for 
her.  Rick says he couldn't stay mad at her for long.  Annie, "You were 
so good to me.  I was the impatient, impossible, crazy one.  You were the 
caring, considerate one."  Rick, "Funny, compassionate, etc., etc."  She 
doesn't know how he survived it.  She signed the divorce papers, got 
smashed & called him to say she was sorry.  She is so proud of him for 
not letting her ruin his life.  He always gave to her, and she took from 
him & it started to happen again.  She is so sorry.  She doesn't deserve 
his forgiveness, but would like to make amends.  He hugs her.

  ANNIE'S APT.

Marian to keep an eye on Lucy.  She agrees.

it's great to see her like this.  Lucy, "No more past, just the future.  
Almost no more fear.  We'll be together."

  DAVID'S ROOM

Gilly tells Sid it sounds like more of the same.  He doesn't understand.  
Gilly thinks he's trading Alan's position & money for Washington 
politics.  It's a calculated move to get what he wants, a very Alan 
Spaulding thing to do.  Sid says he gave up an important & lucrative job 
for her.  Gilly says he's acting like he gave up something huge for her 
benefit, that's like Spaulding.  Gilly tells Sid that he should have quit 
for himself, not for her.  Sid asks what would satisfy her, that he quit 
and gone on welfare?  Lowered his sights & aimed as low as her brother?  
Gilly tells him that David has more going on for him washing dishes than 
Sid does in a three-piece suit.  Sid doesn't think the altruism & 
self-sacrifice she expects exist.  Gilly insists that it does for alot of 
people, she just wanted him to be honest & didn't tell him how to live 
his life.  She's going to live her life without him.  Sid asks her to 
look him in the eyes & tell him she feels nothing for him.  He starts to 
cry.  She tells him to go to Washington and cries too.  He leaves.

  SPAULDING

A-M wants to drive Lucy to her counseling session, but she rented a car.  
He complains that she doesn't need him for anything.  Lucy, "Just for the 
rest of my life."  He'll hold her to that.  She'll be back for the 4:00 
meeting <but will she?>.  Marian meets Lucy at the elevator & tells her that 
she'll go to the counseling session. 

  ROOFTOP

Annie tells Rick that she has a second chance with Josh, but she has to 
change, so she won't to do Josh what she did to Rick.  Rick has waited so 
long to hear her say that.  Annie wonders how she'll explain it to Josh-- 
keeping the truth from him for so long.  Rick says that Josh will 
understand & love her.  Annie doesn't know how Rick put up with her "all 
those years".  Rick says it was worth it and asks if he should come 
along.  Annie wants to talk to Josh alone, she's going to tell him 
everything.

  LEWIS HOUSE

Josh asks Hawk if he got a job and tells him that they got the house.  
Hawk wishes he'd got back sooner & saved Josh some money, "I have 
something to show you Joshua."  He's holding Rick & Annie's wedding 
picture behind his back.
