By Patricia K. Lambert

Harley tells Philip she isnt comfortable having dinner with his family 
with Beth there.  She tells him its her problem and shell deal with, 
besides she has a meeting with Jenna.  When Philip leaves, the girls 
curl up with self-help books on relationships while they talk about how 
to not be jealous in their individual relationships.

Annie tries to cozy up to Beth who is staying at the Spaulding Mansion 
while she and Lizzy are in town.  Annie wants to be friends with Beth 
and help her get back with Philip.  Before dinner, Annie and Alan 
announce their engagement, much to the chagrin of everyone in the room, 
including Lizzy, Im sure!  During dinner, Annie uses Lizzy to get 
Philip and Beth thinking about each other and their wedding. Amanda is 
still out to get Annie and Roger actually feels sorry for Alan.
 
Abby is still trying to deal with what she did to Roy.  Rick is trying 
everything to help her because he loves her.  Rick comes in with a deal 
to get Abby only 1-4 on a manslaughter charge.  She accepts but before 
she can sign anything, Ben comes in trying to get Abby to agree to be 
his client and he promises to get her off.  During an argument between 
Ben and Ross, Ben spills the beans about their being brothers to Rick 
which, of course, sends Rick off of the deep end.  He thinks Ross was 
just using Abby to get back at Ben.

Philip and Beth share an intimate moment as they watch Lizzy sleeping 
after  they read her a bedtime story.  Philip puts Lizzy to bed and 
leaves and shows up in Harleys bed.
