Tammy's Room:


Nettie is feeding Tammy breakfast and Annie kicks her out. Tammy tells
Annie that she isn't hungry and wants to talk to her mommy again. Annie
tells Tammy that her mother is very busy and can't talk.


Hart's Place:


Hart comes down the stairs and calls for Cassie. She isn't around. He
thinks she is gone. She comes out of the kitchen carrying a tray with a
coffee pot and a couple of cups on it. She drinks coffee when she can't
sleep (brilliant idea) and has alot of things on her mind. Hart tells her
that he knows what they should do. They should have done it in the first
place, he says. He wants to them to go to the Lewis's and tell the truth.
Cassie thinks its a little late for the truth. Cassie is afraid of what
will happen to Tammy if she doublecrosses them again.


Bloss House:


Ross is up and dressed and ready to go to court. Blake comes in a
nightgown and gives him a cup of coffee. They discuss his long lost
half-brother showing up the day of the twin's birthday and coming to
defend the man that Ross is prosecuting.  Ross is sorry for never telling
her about Ben. Blake understands. Ross says that all Ben sees is that he
took away his birthright from him. Ross is considering dropping the case
and giving it to someone else. The doorbell rings and Ben walks in with
pasteries. Ross is angry that he is there. 


Hart's place:


Hart tries to convince Cassie that she should go to the Lewis family and
tell them the truth. Cassie is scared that she won't get Tammy back if
she doesn't do what they ask. Hart asks Cassie how she can be so sure
that they'll give her Tammy back even if she does as they asked. 


Tammy's Room:


Annie is brushing Tammy's hair. Tammy cries out when Annie runs across a
tangle and Annie tells her that, "Mommy didn't mean to hurt her, that she
would never hurt her."  Tammy wants to talk to her mommy. Annie tells her
that CASSIE is busy doing a real important job. Tammy keeps asking her
where her mommy is and when she can see her. Annie gets real upset and
ends up pulling Tammy's hair. She tells her that she doesn't know when
Cassie can be there and tells her, "I'm here." 


Bloss House:


Ross doesn't want to break bread with Ben, but Blake tries to cut the
tension between the two of them. Ben is surprised that Ross told Blake,
but Ross informs him that he and Blake don't keep secrets. Ben finds it
refreshing. Dinah bursts in telling Ross that she needs to talk to him. 
Ross finds out that Ben and Dinah talked the night before. Dinah needs to
talk to Ross so they go outside to talk. Blake tries to mend fences with
Ben. 


Bauer House:


Rick opens the door and lets Jesse in. Jesse is wearing a suit and is all
cleaned up. Rick wants to know if Jesse is going to testify. Jesse is
worried about what will happen to Michelle if he does testify. He wonders
where Michelle is. She is upstairs trying to help Abby figure out what to
wear.


Abby's bedroom:


Abby is trying to decide which dress to wear. Michelle tells her that she
looks good in whatever she decides to wear. Abby wishes she could cover
herself all up; because she will feel naked in front of that jury. She
voices her concern about the trial. Michele gives her a pep talk and Abby
decides to trust in the court process and in Ross.


Outside Bloss House:


Dinah and Ross are talking. Dinah apologizes for dumping all this on her
dad when he has a big case today. Winah starts whining about her
relationship with Hart. Ross thinks they should save the conversation to
a later time when he has more time to talk to her. Dinah whines that she
wants his advise and doesn't know how to fix it. 


Inside Bloss's house:


Blake tells Ben that she knows that he took the case just to get back at
Ross and she knows how sorry he was for everything that has happened to
Ben. She wants to formally welcome him into the family. Ben is "touched"
and figures that this welcome is contigent on him dropping the case. Ben
asks if she is her husband's press agent..."no, but I used to be in the
business." Ben tells her if she comes to bed with him; he'll drop the
case. 


Tammy's Room:


Annie is apologizing to Tammy as Alan walks through the door. Alan
wonders if it is something he should know about. Annie tells Alan that
everything is fine and they go outside to talk. Alan tells Annie that its
time for her to say goodbye to Tammy so that they can go see that their
plan works out. Annie doesn't want to leave Tammy alone and Alan asks if
playing mommy to Tammy for a few more hours is really worth not being
around to see the fireworks when their plan takes off. Annie opens the
door and looks Tammy playing with a doll; she is torn.


Hart's place:


Hart continues to encourage Cassie to tell the truth. Cassie tells him
that she'd love to believe that "happily ever after" exists for her and
Tammy. She tells him that he is engaged to another woman and that she
can't afford to trust him. He thinks that the Lewis' would understand.
She can't take that chance. Hart tells her that he is going to the Lewis'
and tell them the truth. 


Bloss Place:


Dinah tells her father that she would do anything to take back what she
did. Ross asks her what she did and she refuses to tell him.  He tells
her to go talk to Hart and tell him that she loves him. Dinah tells him
that she almost had a drink with "that lawyer guy"...Ross warns her away
from him.


Inside:


Ben tells Blake that he'll leave if she sleeps with him. Blake can't
believe that he and Ross are related. Ben tells her to drop the
"righteous indignation act"...He knows about the twins with two different
fathers.  He didn't think she'd be offended by an offer for a "roll in
the hay"..he was testing her love for her husband. Ross walks in and
hears what Ben says.


Commercial.


Ross walks in and asks Ben what is going on. Ben tells him that he
offered to drop the case if Blake slept with him. Ross goes after him but
doesn't hit him. 


Outside Tammy's Room:


Annie tells Alan that maybe she got carried away with wanting to be
Tammy's mother stuff, but that she wants to be there when Josh and Reva
gets "their just desserts". Annie tells Tammy that she has to leave for a
little while. Tammy asks for her mommy's pin and tells Annie that she
won't be scared anymore if she gives it to her. Annie gives her the pin
and tells her to listen to Nettie. The two of them leave. Tammy cluthes
her mother's pin and whispers, "mommy." 


Hart's place:


Cassie can't believe that Hart is going to tell the Lewis Family what she
is up to. Hart thinks honesty is the only way that Cassie can come out of
it with her dignity intact. Hart tells her that he'll do it with out
without her and she has no choice. She agrees to it and Hart is pleased
that he got her to change her mind. He goes upstairs and she gets out the
sleeping powder from her purse and puts it in his coffee.  He drinks it
and she goes off to get dressed.


Bauer House:


Rick wishes that Abby didn't have to go through all this. Abby tells him
that with her by her side she can do anything. Outside Michelle and Jesse
discuss the matter of him testifying. Michele isn't worried about the
gang going after her and wants him to testify. They kiss and compliment
each other. A delivery man comes by with a delivery for an Abigail Blume.

are just trying to scare her. Abbys says it isn't going to work.

kitchen and throws away the flowers and tells them she isn't going to
quit. They all walk out the door as Rick says, "lets do it."


Bloss House:

surprises up his sleeve. He mentions to Ross how his daughter likes him.
