Hi everyone,
  This is my first update, so if there's anything wrong with it, please
go easy on me.  Thanks,
  Viv

At the house for sale -
  Zachary and Lucy look around the empty house which Zach said he heard
about from someone at the lumber yard.  It seems important to him that
Lucy & A-M like and buy this house. A-M enters and is impatient.  He
sarcastically says the house doesn't speak to him, but Zach keeps on
with the soft sell.

At WSPR -
  Dinah is chatting with the makeup man as she prepares to film a promo
for the tv station.  Hart comes in and kisses her.  Dinah is angry.

The Intervention -
  Josh, Rick, Blake, Lillian, Reva, and Rachel the counselor (Mackenzie
Phillips) begin the intervention for Annie. Lil says she just saw her
try to steal Isolyll from the ER.  Annie is surrounded.  She is outraged
and tries to leave.  When she can't she lashes out at Rick, bringing up
old history.  Rick says that Josh confiscated the drugs she obtained in
Detroit, and that he changed the control number on his prescription pad
to stop her from getting more.  Annie pleads with Blake to stand up for
her, but Rachel asks Annie to listen to everyone's story about how her
behavior has affected them.

The house for sale-
  A-M is still skeptical that this is his dream home.  Zach says good
homes aren't made by magic, that just like good marriages, they take
work.

WSPR - 
  Dinah was angry because she was worried for Hart's safety being with
Roger.  They are kissing when a bright light shines on them.  Dinah
says, "Roger?"

The Intervention - 
  Lillian - She says she saw Annie trying to steal pills, and saw her
taking pills at work but believed she took them occasionally.  She feels
betrayed and tells Annie she jeopardized both their jobs, and Lil lost a
friend and nurse.
  Rick - Rick almost cries as he says how he begged Charles not to fire
her, and how she broke faith, lied, and used their past relationship to
cover her addiction.  He won't be used anymore.
  Josh - He says he loves Annie, but she's not the woman he married.  He
no longer trusts her around the children.  If she can lie to him, what
else is she capable of?  If she doesn't get help, their marriage is
over.
  Reva - She says if Annie doesn't get help, she'll make sure the kids
are taken away from her.

WSPR -
  It was Randy the cameraman shining the bright light on Dinah and
Hart.  Dinah calls off the promo shoot, and she and Hart fool around in
front of the camera, being silly and romantic.  Hart wants to have
children someday.

At a pay phone -
  Roger is speaking to Randy and says he'll stop by the studio to clean
out his desk.  Giving Dinah the station has freed him up to do other
things.  After hanging up he says. "There's one born every minute."

Cedars -
  Michelle shows Abby her outfit for her date with Zach to the harvest
ball.  She's very excited but worried that she pushed him into asking
her out.  Abby reassures her.  Holly, Fletcher, & Meg enter and Michelle
talks about how Holly helped her after Mo died.  She offers to babysit
any time.  Back with Abby, she decides to email her dad (Ed) in Africa
to find out more about Zach.

The Intervention -
  Reva - She tells Annie that she knows how it feels to hit bottom - you
use pills, I use bridges, she says. She also knows that she can pull
herself up again.  She was sure Josh found the perfect wife and mother
to the kids, not like Reva was in the past.
  Annie tries to divert the addiction subject by yelling at Reva.  She
shouldn't be there, she still loves Josh, etc.  Blake shouts, Stop it!" 
Rachel wants Blake to stick to the plan, but Blake feels her friend is
being treated badly and storms out.  Annie pleads with Josh that she'll
be good, she'll change.

The house for sale -
  Zachary says he's leaving to go out with Michelle.  Lucy is happy he
found someone, and Zach says he hasn't dated in a long time.  He leaves,
and A-M decides he likes the house after all.  His cell phone rings, and
he finds out that Phil has taken Alan to Cedars.  They rush out.

Cedars - 
  Michelle reads back the email to Ed, but something happens to the
computer and she can't send it.  Holly is trying to convince Fletcher
that Meg is old enough for a playgroup.  She wants her to be with other
children that don't have Downs.  Fletcher wants to keep her close. 
There's an open house tonight, and Holly wants them to go.  They
approach Michelle as she is leaving to see Zach and ask her to sit for
them.

WSPR - Dinah and Hart are still being silly in front of the camera,
saying incriminating things about their part in Roger's downfall, but
not worried because they aren't really filming.  Roger is watching from
the control booth and says, "We'll see who has the last laugh."  He was
recording the whole thing.

Cedars - Michelle agrees to babysit for Meg.  Then she worries that Zach
won't ask her out again.  Abby thinks he will.  Zach arrives with
flowers.

The Intervention -
  Rachel talks about the purpose of the intervention and how the people
here want to help Annie.  She tells Annie that it's up to her whether or
not she continues to take pills, but if she does, she will be alone.
It's Annie's turn to talk, and she is angry.

Cedars -
  Michelle tells Zach that she can't go out with him and leaves in a
rush.  He looks surprised.

WSPR -
  Roger is watching the tape he made and says in his wonderfully sneaky
way, "Loose lips sink ships."

The Intervention -
  Annie says everyone here is living lies.  She starts with Reva, saying
that she never stopped loving Josh.  Then she reveals why Reva married
Buzz, and her promise to Marah.  Josh is shocked.

  After the show, Mackenzie Phillips made an announcement for anyone
concerned about their loved ones using drugs, and gave a phone number
and web site.  (She's really come a long way, IMHO)
