BAUER KITCHEN:
Michele opens the door to Jesse. They kiss and Michele tells him what a
hero he is for capturing Roy. Ed walks in and Michele apologizes for what
she said the day before about still blaming him and Lillian for Maureen's
death. Ed tells her how much it hurts him to know that Michele feels that
way. Chelle tells him that she didn't really mean it. Ed wants to know why
she said it then. Chelle changes the subject and tells Ed how Jesse
single handedly captured the guy who attacked Abby. 

SF POLICE DEPT:
Frank says that Abby needs to officially identify Roy in a lineup. Rick
tells Frank that it isn't necessary, but Frank says that it came from the
DA's office. 

CART HOTEL ROOM:
Cassie and Hart are discussing what they are going to say to the social
worker over breakfast. They met through a mutual friend, they are waiting
to get married til after they get custody of Tammy so she can be in their
wedding,etc.... Cassie apologizes for putting him in the situation, but Hart
tells her that he made the decision by himself.  	

FRONT DESK:
Dinah is at the front desk demanding to know where Hart Jessup is and
bribes the desk clerk to tell her. Desk clerk tells her that Mr. Jessup
probably doesn't want to be disturbed right now; he is in the honeymoon
suite with his fiance. Dinah wants to know what this woman looks like...
The desk clerk describes Cassie and Dinah yells that she is going to kill her.

LIGHTHOUSE ROLLS

CART HOTEL ROOM:
Cassie spills coffee on herself and takes off her robe. There is a knock
on the door. Cassie invites the person to come on in and is stunned when
its Dinah.

Commercials. 

BAUER KITCHEN:
Michele tells Ed how everyone thought that Abby was imagining seeing Roy
til they all saw him staring in the window. Ed is sorry that he wasn't
there for Abby and Michele. Michele tells him that Rick and Jesse were
there to protect them. Ed thanks Jesse for being there and tells him he
owes him. Jesse tells Ed that he would do anything for Michele. Ed tells
Michele that he isn't going back to Africa for the time being. Michele
tells Ed that even if he stays he isn't going to talk her
out of seeing Jesse. 

SF POLICE DEPARTMENT:

[OH MY GOSH!!!!! RICK SIGNED TO ABBY!!!!!] Rick signs to Abby (I said that
already didn't I?) that they are going to get out of there in 5 minutes.
He then goes over and tells Frank that the lineup better be ready
soon.  Frank goes to check on it. Rick starts complaining about Ross. He
thinks that lineup is totally ridiculous because they all know who Roy is
and he thinks Ross may be doing this as a way to keep him from going after
Kevin. Abby tells him that (a) Ross is a professional and (b) Ross is their
friend and he wouldn't do anything like that. Ross walks over in time to
hear this and tells them that he needs to make sure that he has a solid eye
witness before he decides whether or not to prosecute this case. 

Commercial.

Rick is  angry that Ross might consider not prosecuting this case. Ross
wants them to understand that it isn't an "open and shut" case.  He reminds
them that when Abby woke up she didn't remember anything about the attack
and that the defense will use that to their advantage.  Abby is strong and
tells Ross that she will not waver and she remembers that Roy is the man
who attacked her. Ross brings up the fact that they will bring her
character into question. Ricks asks what the defense will do...send the
Paparazzi to Goshen to try and dig up dirt on her? Ross: "Thats right
she turned her back on her parents and her religious upbringing and she
moved to the big city to live a life of sin and depravity."  Ross shows
Abby how ugly it can be...the classic defense is to blame the victim.  Ross
wants to be sure that Abby is willing to go the distance...its up to her. 

BAUER KITCHEN 
Ed says that if he had been there none of this would have happened. Jesse
tells Ed that he and Michele are no longer going to blame themselves for
what happened to Abby. Lillian knocks on the door and comes in to speak to
Michele. She explains that Ed told her that Michele still blamed the two of
them for Maureen's death. Michele blasts her father for telling her.
Lillian wants to talk it out, but Michele says she can't talk now and runs
out of the house. 

CART HOTEL ROOM:
Dinah blasts Hart for lying to her while Cassie goes to change. Hart admits
that he and Cassie did meet up there, but it isn't what she thinks. Before
he can explain the Social Worker & Cassie's lawyer walks in. 

HALF TIME

CART HOTEL ROOM: 
Cassie pulls Dinah aside and begs her to go along with what Hart and her
are about to say for the sake of her daughter. Dinah walks up to the social
worker and tells them that Cassie isn't Hart's fiance. 

SF POLICE DEPARTMENT:
Abby decides that she wants to go through with it. Abby wants to know if
Roy is going to be able to see her. Ross explains that she will see him but
he won't see her. Abby goes to view the lineup while Rick tells Ross that
he didn't appreciate what he just put Abby through. Ross wants Abby to know
what she is up against and that it would be better if Abby quit now instead
of later. He tells Rick that he will do his best to protect Abby. Rick
tells Ross that he has hired an attorney to go through his legal options
with Kevin. Ross warns him against doing something that everyone will
regret. [Why the heck is he going after Kevin now? If he loves Abby, he
should spend his time and energy supporting her through this]. Rick tells
Ross that he will never walk away from his son. Frank takes Abby where she
is to identify Roy. He explains the drill and then goes to find out what is
keeping Ross and Rick. Abby has flashbacks of the attack and runs out of
the room. 

Commercial.

SF POLICE DEPARTMENT:
Rick catches Abby walking away from lineup room. Abby tells Rick and Ross
that she walked away scared. Rick and Ross assure her that it is her
decision to do this. Abby decides to do it. 

CART HOTEL SUITE: 
The Social Worker tells Cassie that she should free up her daughter for
adoption or she'll spend the rest of her life in foster care. Cassie begs
her to allow her to explain, but the Social Worker says she has heard
enough. The lawyer tells Cassie that she just lost herself a lawyer. They
both leave. Hart asks Dinah how she could do this to Cassie. Dinah
counters, "How could you do this to me?"

CART HOTEL SUITE:
Hart accuses Dinah of purposely ruining Cassie's chance of ever getting her
daughter back. Dinah plays dumb and acts like she didn't hear what Cassie
said to her. Dinah tells Hart that he shouldn't have lied to her...she
could have played along if she had known. Cassie asks her who she thinks
she is kidding.[Hart?] Hart tells Dinah he should have told her the truth,
but he couldn't take the risk considering how she felt about Cassie. "I
said all
those things in the heat of the moment", Dinah counters. "I swear to you I
would have understood, ultimately, that you were just helping out a
friend."  Hart doesn't quite buy it. Dinah wants to go and tells her that
she'll meet him back in Springfield. Hart tells her to go if she wants to
go and leaves to call a cab. Dinah looks at a devestated Cassie with a
smirk on her face.

BAUER KITCHEN: 
Ed and Lillian discuss Michele's anger towards them. They discuss who is to
blame more for it. Lillian feels she shouldn't come over to the house
anymore as it could impede Ed's relationship with Michele.  Ed wants to
believe that Maureen would have found it in her heart to forgive him if she
had lived. Lillian tells Ed about Michele's search for the person with her
mother's heart and Ed tells Lillian that Michele has already found that
person and he isn't sure it will end right. 

Meanwhile....at Jesse's Place: Jesse tells Michele that she needs to get
over the anger she feels towards her father. He has first hand experience
on how awful it is to live with that kind of hate. Michele tells Jesse
that it is different b/c her mother DID die because she found out that
Lillian and Ed slept together and that she thought she was over it. Jesse
tells Michele that she should put the past in the past and forgive her
father and Lillian and move on with her life. A rock is thrown through the
window as they kiss. Jesse sends Michele to the bathroom to wash off the
possible shards from her face. He picks up the rock and reads the note
attached to it. "Keep the deaf girl from testifying against Roy or the next
step for Michele is six feet under."[Gee, our loss.]

SF Police Department:

Abby identifies Roy as her attacker. 

CART HOTEL SUITE: 

Cassie tells Dinah that she knows that she gave her away to the Social
Worker on purpose and enjoyed every minute of it. Dinah admits it and tells
Cassie she can never prove it. Cassie slaps her in the face.

THE END
