Lillian enters with a baby and introduces Van.  Lillian lets Van hold the
baby.  Lillian gushes about how holding a newborn can make you want to have
one again.

FIREHOUSE:  Buzz and Jenna bring Harley in - to her protests.  Jenna tries
to take the blame for Harley in the mental hospital; Harley protests, saying
she went along with it. Buzz interjects and Jenna tries to calm Harley.
Harley says she feels fine - Jenna takes Buzz outside and tells him he is
overdoing the "dad" thing. Jenna points out that Harley was on the drugs
when she said all the things about her father leaving her.  Buzz cringes
about Harley and Phillip - Jenna reminds him that Harley is grown woman.
Harley yells to them about whispering in the hall and they return.  Buzz
goes to make Harley some tea.  Harley asks Jenna what's going on with Reva's
sister.

FAUXREVABEND:  Reva tells Blake that Annie won't know what hit her.  Blake
wants to know who was on the phone...Reva says it is someone who will help
her ruin Annie's day - with wicked laugh.

SPAULDING MANSION: Alan lays out a food spread for Annie - telling her about
spoiling her.  Annie reminds him that they didn't get to dessert..Alan tells
her how great things can be if you don't go off the deep end....Annie
hesitantly agrees.  Phillip storms in demanding to know who was responsible
for Harley being drugged...Alan is shocked and Annie looks afraid.

LITTLE TWIRL

Annie tries to calm Phillip claiming she doesn't know a "Harley".  Phillip
doesn't buy it and accuses Annie since she was a nurse.  Alan loudly
proclaims that he wasn't behind it and Phillip agrees and looks back to
Annie.  Annie wants Alan to defend her...he doesn't and looks at her sternly.

THANK YOU PAMPERS BABY-DRY FOR THIS PORTION OF GUIDING LIGHT!

FAUXREVABEND: Blake tells Reva her plan is perfect, saying that she would do
anything to get back at Annie.  Reva tells Blake that Ross and Josh can't
know, just as Josh walks in - wondering what they are talking about. The
phone rings and Reva talks to Jenna - and tells Jenna that "Rhonda" was a
fake.  Jenna is upset...Harley and Buzz hear Jenna's side of the
conversation and Harley wants to know what's going on. Reva tells them not
to blame themselves. Jenna tells Reva about Harley being drugged.  Reva
tells Jenna that she will make them pay. Cut to Firehouse - Jenna tells
Harley that the Rhonda diary entry was planted and Harley wonders how she
could be so stupid.  Harley remembers that everything was too easy. Harley
and Jenna re-commit to cracking the case, and Buzz jumps in and loudly says
that no one is doing anything. Jenna tells Buzz it's not his problem...Buzz
says they have no useful information and Harley thanks him for point "that"
out.  Buzz proclaims that he will not allow Jenna and Harley to continue the
investigation.  Just as Jenna is about to protest - Nola arrives with ballons.

CEDARS:  Van is cradling the baby, as Lillian diagnoses a case of
"baby-itis".  Van and Lillian talk about their children as newborns...and
what miracles they are.  Matt walks by and sees Van with the baby - their
eyes lock.

Van hands the baby back to Lillian as Matt enters.  Lillian goes on about
how they've probably go past the baby stage - and Van says they haven't -
and goes on that a woman who's had a baby never stops wanting one. Lillian
leaves....Matt says that Michael will be a while.  Matt wonders if it was
hard for Van to hold that baby.  Van says it wasn't and puts her purse over
her shoulder as though she is going to leave.  Van throws her purse down as
Michael arrives.  Matt tries to explain that they want to know all the
possible scenarios - Van pipes up that she wants some reassurance- some
hope. Michael looks concerned and says that he's afraid not. Van looks
distraught.

SPAULDING MANSION:  Annie runs after Alan and clings to him - Phillip asks
if anyone has anything to say - and Alan asks if Harley is all right.
Phillip says she is - "not that anyone gives a damn".  Phillip describes the
scene when he found Harley and yells at Annie; Annie claims not to know
Harley and Phillip calls her on it.  Phillip asks who Annie is - and wonders
where the girl he helped get sober at Ed's cabin is? Annie goes off -
claiming that everyone left her - including Phillip - and goes on further to
blame Reva for everything that happened to her.  Phillip is equally angry
and tells her it doesn't justify what she did.  Phillip - near
hyper-ventilation - tells Alan that he wants Alan to look him in the eye and
say he didn't know what Annie did. Annie tries to defend herself.  Alan
wants to know what Harley was doing at County General.  Phillip admits that
Harley was there to keep tabs on Annie and find out about Reva's sister.
Annie proclaims that she doesn't know anything about Reva's sister - as Alan
looks on with self-doubt.

FAUXREVABEND:  Josh can't believe that Annie drugged Harley.  Blake and Reva
agree about what Annie is capable of, as Josh tries to leave for the
Spauldings...Reva stops him. Josh doesn't think Reva is acting like herself
- Blake pipes up that Reva is just trying to put the whole "thing" behind
her.  Josh is not convinced and still wants to deal with the Spauldings....

HALFTIME

SPAULDING MANSION: Phillip tells Alan and Annie that he doesn't believe a
word any of them say. Alan tells Phillip that Harley is in no danger from
them; Phillip tells them he doesn't know who he feels more sorry for: Alan
or Annie. Annie says she doesn't have to take this - and Phillip says she
does as long as she lives there. Phillip announces that he is moving back
into Casa Spaulding - so he can watch them. Phillip leaves- Annie starts to
snivel about how Phillip can't find out what "we're" doing. Alan throws the
"we" back at her and says that "we can't!"

FIREHOUSE:  With Nola's balloons flying, Jenna tries to leave.  Buzz is
worried and Jenna says she is going to get Coop, taunting Buzz about his
earlier orders.  Jenna wonders if Buzz is a man of the 1890s or perhaps, the
1790s.  Nola comes around to Buzz and proclaims that she is an old-fashioned
girl herself.  Buzz is relieved.

Phillip arrives - letting himself in - telling them that he is frustrated by
dealing with Alan and Annie. Harley announces that she is going home....Buzz
and Phillip argue a bit about taking Harley home.  Harley finally agrees to
let Phillip take her - Phillip says it's his pleasure, and Buzz gives him a
big "uh huh".  Nola tries to give Harley the casserole - but it's too late.

Nola and Buzz sit down with the casserole - chicken cacciatore - and Buzz
tells Nola how Jenna is more the "coq-au-vin" type.  Nola questions Buzz
about leads on the secret admirer - Buzz says there are none - and Nola
thinks that's a good thing.  Buzz isn't sure why - Nola tells him that he
has a wedding to plan and doesn't need other distractions.  Buzz says he's
crazy about Nola lately and kisses her on the forehead.  Nola looks pleased. 

CEDARS:  Michael wants to talk about the medication that Van took.  Van says
she stopped taking it immediately...Michael says that it's not the same -
the drug isn't even approved. Van points out that she has been pregnant
before - and that lots of women have a drink or take meds before they know
they are pregnant.  Michael tells Van that is women who are strong and
healthy from the start.  Michael tells her that the pregnancy will cause
changes in her - and could bring back the disease.  Van doesn't think it's a
sure death sentence - Michael says it's not a guaranteed death sentence -
but he can't guarantee life either.  Van protests, Matt says even if there
is 99% chance of life and a 1% chance of death, that is too big a risk. Matt
says flat out that he doesn't want Van to have the baby.

FAUXREVABEND:  As Blake and Reva listen - Josh agrees over the phone to go
to Lewis Oil. Reva rushes him off; Blake and Reva go off on their mission,
Reva asks her mother to forgive her for what she's about to do, as she
leaves.....

HARLEYBEND:  Phillip looks in the closets to make sure no one is hiding.
Harley wants to know what he's doing.  Phillip tries to reassure Harley
saying that he knows his father and Annie better than she does.  Harley
agrees that Annie is a wacko, but says she is an ex-cop, and maybe if she
wasn't distracted....Phillip wants to know what Harley was distracted by -
Harley tells him that HE is a big distraction....Phillip looks shocked.

SPAULDING MANSION:  Annie nervously wonders what is bothering Alan.  Alan
tells Annie that he knows how Phillip feels - to look at a woman he used to
know.  Annie tries to persuade Alan - she says she only wants him.  Alan
says he knows that Annie tried to hurt Annie.  Annie admits it, trying to
write it off by saying it was only the second floor.  Alan is infuriated at
this point, reminding Annie that he told her not to do anything to Harley,
and that they were partners.  Annie thinks they still are, but Alan is
adamant about how Annie doesn't know when to draw the line.  Alan thinks he
trusted Annie one too many times - and each time proved to be a
mistake....Annie is distraught. Alan tells Annie that he is cutting his
losses and wants Annie to leave.

CEDARS:  Matt looks at Van and tells her he doesn't want to take chances.
Van says she loves Matt too....they talk about how it could be different if
Van was healthy.  Van looks unsure; Matt pleads with her.  Matt gets on his
knees to beg Van to not have the baby....he says he's not too proud to beg
Van to grow old with him, because she is the most important thing to him.
Van starts to cry.....

Michael re-enters...as Matt and Van hug.  Tearful Van tells Michael that she
wants to terminate the pregnancy; Matt hugs her.

FIREHOUSE:  Nola scoops up the casserole and Buzz wonders if she is ok.
They talk about Bacall, Bogie, and old movies - agreeing on their favorite
- Casa Blanca.  The conversation halts, and Nola says she needs to tell Buzz
something about herself.

HARLEYBEND:  Phillip wonders why he is a "distraction" and he and Harley
banter about her wilted plants and the dog.  Harley thinks she needs to
focus on her work; Phillip agrees and announces that he will help her by
moving back in with his father.  Phone rings and Harley has a one way
conversation with Frank, while Phillip remembers Harley's delirium when she
talked about falling in love with Phillip and how men always leave her.  As
the phone conversation ends, Phillip waters the plants.

FAUXREVABEND:  Josh enters and calls for Reva.  Realizing that Reva isn't at
home, Josh decides to go do SOMETHING!

SPAULDING MANSION:  Alan is leaving....Annie is protesting.  Annie swears
she will change, cringing on the steps......after Alan leaves, gloved hands
cover Annie's face. As Annie goes out, we see Reva drag Annie off, as Blake
looks on.  Fade to black on Reva's fallen watch on the porch.
