  I'm now the Friday updater.  Marni doesn't see the real Friday show 
until Monday, so we switched days.  She'll see the Thursday show on 
Friday and write the update then.  Karen


  DINER

The armed holdup continues, they want everyone's wallets and jewelry.

  MATT'S ROOM AT THE BOARDINGHOUSE

Matt's exercising his shoulder when Dinah arrives.  He asks her to give 
him a good reason why he shouldn't throw her out the window.  
Dinah,  "Does this mean our wedding's off?"

  YACHT

A-M & Lucy are kissing.  A-M pulls back but Lucy tells him she wants him. 
Tonight.  They kiss again.

  GOSHEN

Revecca remembers Buzz.  Alan hears her talking to him.  Buzz explains 
how he found her even though he did not know her name.  She introduces 
herself.  He wants to come in and she agrees.  Alan hides in her 
bedroom.  Buzz asks Revecca if she is wearing a habit.  She explains that 
she is not a nun.  It is what the women of her community wear.  They are 
committed to spiritual seeking, a life away from distractions & 
temptations.  Revecca is surprised that Alan is gone.  Buzz is surprised 
that there are not any gadgets, since back home they cannot live without 
them.  Revecca goes into her bedroom and asks Alan why he is hiding.  
Alan orders her to get rid of Buzz.

  DINER

Robber demands money from the cash register.  Rick & Annie whisper that 
the robbers look like they're on something, probably PCP.  Nell & Frank 
look at each other.  Nadine tells the robbers not to hurt anyone, so one 
of them hits her on the head.  Rick tries to help her but they won't let 
him.

  YACHT

Lucy takes off A-M's shirt as they kiss.  A-M asks if she's sure.  She 
is.  Lucy says A-M feels so good, like he's a part of her & tells him 
that she's never really made love before.  She wants him to show her.  He 
unbuttons her blouse & kisses her again.

  MATT'S ROOM

Dinah asks Matt what he did with Roger, what did Matt say to make him 
leave?  Matt says he's surprised.  She doesn't know why she came to Matt 
for help.  Matt isn't going to help her & from the first time he met her, 
she's been soooo arrogant.  She says he's always had it in for her.  He 
says he's tried to help her, like an idiot.  He can't believe he offered 
to marry her & what does he get in return?  Spit in the face.  His days 
of helping her are over, "I wouldn't come near you now if you came with a 
lifetime guarantee & snow tires."  Dinah's arm is grabbed by Bridget as 
she is about to slap Matt.  

  DINER

Annie has only $5, so one of the robbers grabs her, but Rick jumps in & 
gives up his wad of money & watch.  The other robber kisses Eleni & Frank 
yells.

  GOSHEN

Alan, "Get rid of that pathetic excuse for a human being out there.  He's 
a worthless cheat, con man & womanizer.  Now go out there & get rid of 
him!"  Revecca is upset that he is giving her orders.  Alan does not want 
Buzz to know he is here.  Revecca wonders why, since they are all from 
Springfield.  He will tell her once Buzz is gone.  She goes out & Buzz asks 
if she was talking to someone.  She sounded angry.  She asks him to stay for 
tea, then asks if he knows the name Alan Spaulding.

  DINER

One of the robbers wants to "pop" all the witnesses, but the other one is 
anxious to leave.  The 1st one points a gun at Rick's head & Frank tells 
them they can beat armed robbery, but murder in the act of a felony is 
different.  The 2nd one agrees.  Nell throws a cream pitcher and grabs 
the gun of one robber, while Frank gets the other one.  Rick grabs the 
guy wrestling with Nell.  She gets a gun & points it at the robber.  

  GOSHEN

Buzz wonders how Revecca knows the name Alan Spaulding.  She explains 
that she found his wallet.  Buzz says that hate is too mild a word for 
what he feels for Alan, but if it hadn't been for him Buzz wouldn't have 
met her.  "Alan is evil.  He cares for no one, not even his son.  So 
twisted.  He wanted to ruin his own son & to do that he helped the man 
who raped my daughter."

  YACHT

They're in bed when Lucy jumps up and says she can't do this.  She got 
carried away & forgot that she could hurt A-M.  She could put him at 
risk.  A-M asks if she's heard of safe sex, but she says if he was with 
someone else he wouldn't have to worry about it.  He tells her he'll 
protect them both & he doesn't want to be with anyone else-- ever.  She's 
scared.  He's not.  She asks how did she find someone like him.  He tells 
her he can wait.  She doesn't want to disappoint him.  They kiss.

  MATT'S ROOM

Dinah lights a cigarette.  Bridget, "You think that you can do whatever 
you want & get away with it.  Not anymore.  Because of you, Vanessa had 
to take my son, your soon to be grandson, out of the country, Grandma."  
Dinah tells her Vanessa didn't have to do that, Van was getting back at 
Roger.  Bridget says Vanessa was trying to save Dinah, she tried to tell 
Van that Dinah wasn't worth it, but Van wouldn't listen.  Bridget has 
tried to like & understand Dinah, but she makes it impossible, "Your 
phoney baloney ways & these smelly cigarettes."  She grabs the cig & puts 
it out.  "Because of you Matt & Vanessa are at each others throats.  You 
are so unbelievably selfish.  All you care about is yourself."  Dinah, 
"Why don't you tell it to someone who cares."  Bridget grabs her arm & 
tells her she's going to care.  <They are nose-to-nose.>  Dinah, "I dare 
you."  Bridget smiles, "You just dared the wrong girl."  Matt breaks them 
up.  Dinah says she's not afraid of Bridget.  Matt holds Bridget back, 
"You should be."  He drags Bridget out of the room and she suggests they 
deport Dinah.  Matt will deal with Dinah & tells her he doesn't want to 
see her at the Boardinghouse again.  He's finished trying to help her, 
trying to cover for her or save her.  He made things worse because he 
thought she was worth saving.  She almost cost him the one thing he has 
going for him, "Vanessa is more real & more of a woman than you will ever 
be."  Dinah, "You really do love her."

  GOSHEN

Buzz, "Alan Spaulding is a sociopath.  He is incapable of feeling 
guilt."  Revecca asks if Alan really tried to hurt his own son.  Buzz 
tells her that he even hired a lawyer to get down & dirty.  Alan keeps 
his own hands clean and has other people do the dirty work.  She asks if 
he has other family.  Buzz says Alan has a sister in Springfield who is 
like him, but she has a heart.  She loves her brother & bails him out & 
he repays her by stabbing her in the back.  She asks if Alan has a wife.  
Buzz explains that Alan has had a few wives & wonders why they are talking 
about Alan.  She just wanted to know more about this "Spaulding 
creature".  Buzz calls him a monster-- he has done more.  Revecca asks if 
anyone can stop him.  Buzz says people have tried, but he does not want to 
talk about Alan anymore.  Revecca got a feeling from the wallet.  Buzz 
thinks she is like Deenie & explains that she is a friend who sees 
auras.  Revecca got feelings from the wallet, wondered if they were true, 
and obviously they are.  She asks Buzz why he came.  He explains that 
Deenie says there is trouble heading Reva's way.

  DINER

Nadine tells Cutter that Frank & Nell were heroes & should get medals.  
Annie tells Rick that he was stupid for getting between her & the 
psychopath.  He tells her she was great-- steady as a rock & tells her 
take the next day off.  She just wants to go home & sleep.  She won't go 
buy a bottle of booze, she's lost enough.  Rick asks Frank, Eleni, & 
Nadine what he owes for the cheeseburgers.  They laugh and offer him 
ouzo.  Cutter yells at Frank & Nell for taking risks, but eventually says 
he's proud of them.  

  YACHT

Lucy asks if A-M is angry.  He's not, what they have is alot bigger than 
one night or any one thing.  It's like Christmas or 4th of July being 
with her.  She asks if he feels cheated.  No, he just wants her to love him.

  CAROUSEL

Annie looks at the carousel & sadly remembers being there with Josh.  
Music starts to play.

  GOSHEN

Revecca asks if there was another reason why Buzz tracked her down.  He 
tells her that he cannot get a handle on it.  He wanted to know if she is 
o.k.  Alan, "You are here because you have some schoolboy crush on her."  
Buzz says he might come back to see if she is o.k.  Revecca tells him 
that would be nice.  Alan, "Like hell you will."

After Buzz leaves, Alan comes out and yells at Revecca for letting Buzz 
slander him like that.  She shuts him up, "Everything that's come out of 
your mouth has been lies.  You lied to me about Bud, didn't you?"

  MATT'S ROOM

Matt, "Of course I love her."  Dinah tells him that she & Roger are as 
much in love as Matt & Vanessa.  Matt tells her that what they have is 
real & Dinah isn't close to that.  He feels sorry for her & hopes she 
figures out what it's all about before it's too late.  He's not going to 
give up on Vanessa & Dinah is not going to get between them again.  He 
tells her to get out.  Outside the door, Dinah stops & closes her eyes.  
Music starts playing (a Righteous Brothers song). 

  YACHT

Lucy & A-M dance & kiss to the same music.

  CAROUSEL

The music continues, as Josh walks in on Annie.

  GOSHEN

The music stops and Revecca yells at Alan for lying from the first, Buzz 
proved that.  Alan tells her not to believe Buzz.  How can Revecca believe 
anything Alan told her?  Alan admits he made up a few things & covered over 
things, but it was to protect her.  Bud hurt her & hurt her badly.  Revecca 
does not want him to talk to her about Bud.  She turns & starts to remember her 
wedding to Josh, including the vows.  

Alan, "Now do you understand?"  <He must have said something while she 
was remembering her wedding.>  
Reva, "I was married to Bud."



  That's it for my 1st Friday update.  See you next week.  Karen
