Roll lighthouse

Cabin:  Ross tells Blake that one of the boys is smaller.  Rick tells her
to keep the baby in until they get to the hospital.  The baby is trying to
come out shoulder first and Blake can't help but push.

Spaulding Mansion:  A.M. doesn't understand why Philip is giving up.  Alex
tells them to fight with Amanda instead of each other.  Philip just wanted
to find out which one of his family hated him.  Kind of ironic, it was
everyone.

Farm:  Dinah tells how she was trapped in the grain silo looking for Peter
and Roger saved her.  Dinah admits she was wrong about Roger.  He really
has changed.  

Boardinghouse:  Quint was hungry for Nola's waffles so he decided to come
fix her breakfast to thank her for everything she's done for him.  Nola's
touched.  Quint admits it's about more than breakfast.

Spaudling:  More of Amanda's whining about being the "scape goat."  They
are all fighting for Alan's love.  Philip blames Amanda for destroying what
little Spaulding trust there was between all of them.  Alex and Amanda
agree (???????????)  they should all make peace with Alan.

Hospital:  Alan dreaming:  Philip and A.M. talking at the foot of his bed
about Alan's being dead.  They feel nothing, they are laughing.  Someone
puts a toe tag on Alan that reads "A. Spaulding".  He's being rolled into a
creamatorium.  Philip throws in a pretend match and shuts the door.  Alan
wakes up saying he loves them and calls for the nurse.

Cabin:  Blake wants a C-section.  Ross & Rick finally agree on it.  Rick
tells Ross to prep.  Rick gives Blake some demoral and Ross tells her to
squeeze his hand and look him in the eye and focus.
	Lights flicker then go out.  Ross reminds Blake how she wanted an
alternate birthing method.  Blake (feeling the effects of the drug) prays
for her son and feels she is being punished for her transgressions.

Spaulding Mansion:  Philip says he's not going to see Alan.  Alex agrees
none of them are perfect.  Philip can't get passed what Alan did to him and
A.M. can't either.  Alex pleads with them.  They both love Alex and thank
her for all she's done for them.  Alex says they are turning out like Alan
and she can't take it anymore.

Farm:  Bridgette leaves with Peter. Roger just needs rest, but Hart and
Dinah insist on taking him to Cedars.  Roger calls Leo on his cell phone
and tells him the plan worked and for him to meet him at the hospital and
he'll explain then.

Boardinghouse:  Quint needs a full-time assistant and wants Nola for the
job.  She's happy with part-time, and suggests J.  Quint compliments Nola
on her waffles and says he doesn't want J he wants her.  He needs her help.
 She says no.  She doesn't trust him.  Quint wants her back.  Nola doesn't
believe he won't leave her again.  He hurt her bad.  He's really sorry. 
Quint loves her and doesn't want to lose her.  Bridge walks in and would
love breakfast and needs to talk to Nola. Quint leaves.

Hospital:  Alan wants his test results and wants to leave that place. 
Amanda walks in and tells Alan his sons will never trust him again.  She
says they are getting closer because they hate his guts.

Spaulding Mansion:  Philip and A.M. pity Alex.  "It's not her fault we make
the Addams family look functional"-A.M.  (great line!!!!)  They've never
been the perfect family.  They both agree they've become the perfect
Spauldings.

Cabin:  Ross tells Blake they have to clean the baby up.  Rick is giving
the baby CPR-no heartbeat.  Ross joins in.  We hear a baby cry.  Everyone
thanks God. Ross hands the baby to Blake as Rick watches as the proud
parents coo over this dark haired baby boy.

Boardinghouse:  Bridge tells Nola to play a long if Hart asks about her
buying Company so Bridge could leave town.  Nola can't understand why
Bridge can't and won't give up Hart.  Bridge thinks she deserves someone. 
Nola won't tell her not to dream, but just warns her to be careful.  Bridge
appreciates it.  There's no way Hart can love Peter so much and not love
some small part of her too.

Cedars:  They find Leo in the waiting room.  He lies about being there. 
Roger is excited about his 2nd chance with Hart.  Leo is still working on
tracking down Vanessa.  Dinah doesn't mind waiting with Roger and Hart ells
them that Dinah is going to see the doctor after Roger does.  Hart leaves
to call Bridge.  Dinah is convince Roger is changed. She thanks him for
giving her the chance for the future she deserves with Hart.

Boardinghouse:  Nola isn't going to lie for Bridge but she'll help cover. 
Bridge answers Hart's call.  Bridge says she and Hart have a chance, now
she has to turn it into the real thing.

Hospital:  Amanda didn't mean to hurt Alan's feelings (HA!!!).  She reminds
him he's lost everything and everyone except her.  Philip and A.M. wouldn't
come see him on a bet.  Guess who walks in the door????

Cabin:  Rick tells Blake to relax.  Rick watches the newly expanded Marler
clan as the ambulance approaches.  He tells Blake the boys look just like
her.  Freeze on Rick as he watches them.
THE END
Note:  I'm still looking for someone to replace me until the beginning of
