Dayna's In-Depth Recap: Episode 15565, December 5, 2008

Family

Previously - Dinah and Shayne meeting, Reva making the toast that she wants to live, Shayne Lewis reporting for duty.

At the Beacon, Marina and Mallet knock on Josh's door.

They want to talk to Josh before Eleni gets up. Mallet questions if Josh is still ordained since he left his church. Mallet and Marina ask Josh to marry them. They want a very private ceremony just the two of them with no family or friends. Josh questions why? Marina says the Cooper clan can be a bit pushy. Will he do it or not? Josh questions what they have for him. A cranberry muffin and a latte. Josh says it's a deal.

In Germany, Dinah is looking for Sgt. Randolph to give him back his watch. She meets the real Sgt. Randolph, an African American man in a chair.

Dinah is perplexed. If he is Randolph then who the heck is the other soldier that she was talking to?

Reva and Jeffrey hunt for the perfect Christmas tree outside. Reva suggests a scrawny Charlie Brown tree. Jeffrey questions why. Reva loves rescuing things. Jeffrey suggests this can be their family's tree finding day. Reva loves the idea. Jeffrey suggests trees all over the house and tons of lights. Reva questions what is up with him. She laughs and tells the baby that Jeffrey is crazy. It's the reason she loves him so much. Jeffrey questions if Reva is ready to head to Cedars to being her chemotherapy? Reva says she is. She wants to put a request for the small Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

At Cedars, Lillian talks to Jeffrey and Reva about the chemotherapy. Jeffrey is fluttering around all nervous. He feels so helpless. The baby is doing more than he is to keep Reva calm. He's never felt so useless. Reva tells Jeffrey how the last time Billy was there for her. Bill got her an MP3 player with country music. It helped pass the time. Jeffrey could go get her one. Jeffrey agrees. Lillian comes into set up the line for the chemo drugs.

Jeffrey is visibly worried. Reva senses it and boots Jeffrey out. She's in good hands. They both are.

In Germany, Dinah finally finds Shayne.

She makes a crack that he and Randolph could pass for twins. Shayne says it's not his fault if all she did was read the sign above his bed. So he's not a soldier? Shayne says he's nobody. Dinah badgers Shayne for his real name. Shayne says it's Travis Bickle. Dinah says it's nice to meet Travis. She questions how he injured his legs? Shayne tells Dinah to buzz off. Is she always this nosy? Dinah sits down and refuses to leave. Shayne tells Dinah not to make him her pity case.

If she is looking for a reward for returning his watch? She's out of luck. Dinah offers to help Shayne. She can help him find his family. Shayne again tells Dinah to buzz off. She can't use him to make her own sad life better. Dinah says that Shayne is ungrateful and she questions why she even bothered to help him. Dinah leaves. Shayne pulls off the blanket and attempts to get into his wheelchair. Dinah who is outside the door is watching. She's visibly worried about Shayne.

At Mallet and Marina's house, Marina enters. She hears Eleni move upstairs and frantically changes so Eleni will not know that she was gone. Eleni comes downstairs and says that Marina is up early.

Marina says she just loves to clean. Eleni says that is a joke. She offers to make breakfast for Marina. Eleni says this is fun just mother and daughter time. Eleni tries to ask Marina about her life with Mallet outside of work. Mallet is definitely older than her so he has different interests. Marina laughs and says that Eleni is not very subtle.

Age has nothing to do with Marina and Mallet's relationship. Mallet has been married a couple of times. Marina says she can list her bad relationships. Eleni says Shayne was not that bad. Shayne was years ago when they were kids. He left town but she found Mallet. Eleni says that is great. Marina says but... Eleni can just say it. Eleni tells her daughter a lot goes into making a relationship work. Look at Frank and Eleni's relationship. Eleni moved out of the house. Why is she asking so many questions? It's hard to have a good relationship. Marina says she has a good relationship and she's grabbing onto it. Eleni questions why Marina is rushing into a relationship with Mallet? Has Marina and Mallet already made wedding plans? Eleni is happy for her daughter. She just wants Marina to be sure.

In Germany, Dinah calls Mallet.

He never expected to hear from her again. Is he glad that he did though?

At Cedars, Reva talks to the baby while she is having chemo.

Reva says that her baby boy was the most unexpected surprise. It's funny he's inside of her yet she doesn't know that much about him. He doesn't know much about her either. Reva says that she's a bit of a hell raiser. She's fun and a bit crazy. She's not exactly the mom of the year but she will make it different this time. She's sorry she's sick again. He doesn't deserve that. Reva says she's a fighter. They are in this together. She can't imagine him not being there. There is nobody better to have on his side during this fight then Reva.

A Cross Creek, Jeffrey is frantically finding stuff for Reva. He accidentally knocks down a picture of Reva and the ultrasound of the baby. Jeffrey slumps to the ground and looks at the picture.

Jeffrey says they have to be alright. If there is anything more bad that is coming lay it on him not on Reva or the baby. He'll take the hardship. Both his wife and son have to be alright.

At Towers, Marina is sitting at the bar looking at a beer when Cyrus shows up.

He's surprised to see her there so early with a beer. Marina says it seemed to be the right thing to do. Marina says that Cyrus should congratulate her. She's getting married tomorrow to Mallet. Cyrus is surprised by the news. Marina starts to walk away. Is she having cold feet? No not at all. Marina turns to leave then looks at Cyrus. A little.

At Mallet and Marina's house, Mallet continues to talk to Dinah. Where is she? He would never guess. A spa getting the works. Nope, in Germany outside an American Army hospital. Mallet never would have suspected that. Dinah says she's trying to do a good deed this time and help out. That is why she is calling Mallet. She needs a favour. Mallet laughs and says the last time he did a favour it involved a suitcase full of ransom money. Dinah says there is this guy. Mallet's attention perks up. Dinah's not interested in him. He's a wounded civilian in a bad way. She wants to help him. Could Mallet look him up and tell Dinah what happened? Mallet agrees. Dinah says the name is Travis Bickle. Mallet says that the guy is pulling Dinah's leg. It's the character Robert DeNiro played in Taxi Driver. Dinah laughs so that is what she gets for trying to help out Shayne. Mallet tells Dinah that Bill is awake. Dinah is all hopeful. Is Bill out of the hospital? Mallet is surprised. He thought Dinah would have heard something. Dinah is glad that Bill is o.k. Mallet says not really. Bill is under investigation by the police in Lizzie's kidnapping. He's the prime suspect. It doesn't look good. Dinah is shocked but covers when Mallet asks if she is alright. Mallet is still on the phone when Eleni comes in asking if Mallet is marrying Marina today. Mallet tells Dinah he's sorry. He didn't want her to hear over the phone. Dinah lies and says the connection is bad. Dinah says goodbye.

At Cedars, Reva is tired when she gets a phone call.

It's from Shayne.

Reva is beyond happy to talk to her son. She misses her son so much. Reva says it's good to hear from him. What is she up to? Reva lies and says she's busy Christmas shopping. Where is Shayne? Shayne lies and says he's at a hotel in Germany by the water. He's helping out another clearing team. It's really rewarding work. Shayne looks down at his legs. Is he safe? Shayne lies and says yes. Is he o.k.? Shayne lies and says he's fine. Reva says she thinks about her children all the time especially since becoming pregnant. Shayne stutters and questions how that is going. Reva says good. She just wants Shayne to come home so he can meet his baby brother. Reva laughs at all of her boys. Marah was hoping for a girl. Shayne says Marah is probably happy that she is the only daughter of Reva Shayne. Reva wants to hug her son so much. Shayne covers and says that some guys just came in. They want to head out. Reva gets the hint and says goodbye. She hopes that Shayne has the time of his life dancing the night away. Shayne looks at his legs. Reva says she loves Shayne. Shayne loves his mom as well.

At Towers, Cyrus and Marina talk. Marina says she screws up every relationship. She doesn't want to do it again. She just jumps in with her heart first and eventually something goes wrong. Cyrus questions if she is talking about them. Marina laughs that she busted him and put cuffs on him. It went downhill after that. Cyrus says there was some pretty good moments. Cyrus says he was the wrong man at the wrong time. She could have done a lot worse. Marina says she always does that. It's so confusing. Cyrus says it doesn't have to be. Cyrus kisses Marina.



At Mallet and Marina's house, Eleni is talking with Mallet.

Mallet wanted to tell her about the wedding. He's sorry he brought her all the way out there. Eleni says she's not going to tell Marina how to run her life. Mallet says he's open for some advice. He shows Eleni a beautiful engagement ring. It's beautiful. Eleni wishes Marina and Mallet all the happiness. They deserve all the blessings. Children are the biggest blessing. Has something changed since his accident? Mallet says nothing. He still can not have a child but he can still be a wonderful father. Eleni says that Marina has always wanted children. Have they talked about this? Not since they decided to get married. Eleni says they need to resolve this. It will hurt their marriage if they don't. Eleni says she has to go and meet Frank at Company.

In Germany, Dinah is trying to get a land line to Springfield. She wants to try to talk to Grady and find out how he screwed up so badly. The operator cuts the line. Dinah tosses her phone in disgust almost clocking Shayne.

So, he's Travis Bickle? It got her to shut up right. Dinah says that Shayne is miserable. She thought he could use some help and talk about what happened. She offers to talk . Shayne says he still feels lousy. Dinah says that other people have been through worse and they pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Dinah turns to leave. Shayne says it was a landmine. Dinah turns and looks at him. Shayne tells Dinah how he was clearing landmines from a field where children play soccer. It was a beautiful day. It's not a moment that comes around. Everything felt right then boom. He never saw it coming. It wasn't a direct hit on him but he has a previous spinal injury. They flew him here to the hospital for help. Dinah agrees that must not be easy to talk about. Shayne turns to leave. He doesn't have to do it alone. Does he have any family? There was a girl once in his life. She's gone now.

At Towers, Marina pushes Cyrus away. What was he doing? What's his angle this time? Does he need money? Cyrus offers to buy the beer for Marina. What is he trying to do torture her? He was just trying to show her that she doesn't just jump into love. Marina questions if she was ever that impulsive? Cyrus says Marina is not like that. She's decent. She has a wonderful man. A long-time love that she works with. They are together and happy. It's all Cyrus wants for Marina. Marina hugs Cyrus. Marina thanks Cyrus.

In Germany, Dinah and Shayne talk. Shayne says he's sorry she went off and lost her boyfriend. Shayne offers to trade battle stories. What is her story? He doesn't want to hear it. Dinah says what the heck it's not as if she will ever see Shayne again.

She says she's an accomplice in a kidnapping of her brother's girlfriend. Shayne says she has his attention now.

Dinah didn't plan the kidnapping but she didn't do anything to stop it either. Dinah's brother then got in a really bad accident trying to get away. What happened to him? Is he o.k.? He was in a coma. Dinah left before so she wouldn't cause him anymore pain. He's awake now. This was supposed to be his new start with his girlfriend but now he's the prime suspect in her kidnapping. Shayne says he's glad he's sitting down.

Dinah says it gets even better. The love of her life AC Mallet is getting married tomorrow. Someone else is going to be his wife. A nitwit named Marina Cooper. Shayne reacts to Marina's name. She's sorry he has so many scars but it feels like her life got blown up by a landmine as well.

At Mallet and Marina's, Marina shows up. Mallet is choosing a wedding bouquet for her. Marina kisses Mallet passionately.

Cyrus kissed her today and it was the best thing. Mallet questions why? Marina has no doubt now that Mallet is the right man for her. She wants to marry him. Mallet says maybe they should rethink things.

Over a stupid kiss? No they need to talk. Marina hates those four words. Mallet says they need to have a real conversation about kids. In twenty four hours it will be official and she will be his wife.

At Cedars, Jeffrey finds all goodies to make Reva more comfortable. Jeffrey lies as to why it took him so long to get back. He brought her a blanket, book and a picture of the baby. Reva smiles seeing their son. Did he find a radio? Jeffrey pulls out his guitar. Reva laughs. He can't play that in the hospital. He can be quiet. Reva wants a lullaby. Jeffrey starts to sing. Reva has tears in her eyes. Doctors walk by and smile as Jeffrey sings to Reva.



Marina is ticked off because she realizes that Eleni was being nosy again. Mallet says that he has seen Marina with Zach, Jude and Peyton. Marina would be a wonderful mother. It's not fair to her that he can't have kids. He sees the way her eyes light up. He wants a house full of kids. Marina says it will happen someway. She has thought about it but they will find a way to be parents. They are going to have a great life with their children because they will have parents that love each other. Is she o.k. with that? Marina says she's fine.

Eleni sees Frank at Company.

Frank is all happy and excited. It's good to see him. Mallet flew in Eleni. For the wedding ? Frank knows. Frank wants his daughter to be happy. Eleni does as well. Frank wants to throw his daughter a crazy zany Greek wedding just like they had. Eleni agrees to help plan it.


In Germany, the physiotherapist is impressed with Shayne's vigour to get back on his feet.

Shayne says he has to head home and find out something.

Preview - Shayne back in Springfield. He's watching Jeffrey and Reva, then Mallet and Marina at the courthouse.

Shayne is then being a pain in the butt with Mallet.

Olivia confronts Decker about the bad investment and asks him to give Natalia her money back.

Decker says he will think about it.


Olivia collapses in the hallway, checks her messages and is soothed by the sound of Natalia's voice. Buzz tries to cheer up Natalia and tells her not to be afraid to take a chance again.

Frank visits Rafe and tells him he'll be assigned to the library if he studies to get his GED. Rafe is thrilled because their is a waiting list for that job. He will gladly complete his GED! Rafe thinks Frank might be the right guy for his mom and encourages Frank to go for it, ask her out!

Jane's Recap: Episode 15563, December 3, 2008

Previously: Natalia is spending her investment in her head when Olivia tells her that the money is gone. Bill and Lizzie kiss, getting ready to make love, when she sees the scratch on Bill’s chest.

Frank checks up on Natalia in her room at the boarding house.

She is out cold and he startles her.

“You’re not that late.” “I just sat down a second to tie my shoes.” He realizes she took a third job. “You can always do better, right?”

Olivia is at the hospital with Rick.

She tells Rick that Emma has a pageant coming up and she can’t miss it.

He tells her she might have to miss it. The heart rate is irregular. They are having trouble with her dosage of heart medicine. Rick can’t promise she will ever be normal, but he can promise there will come a time when she won’t have to think about all this stuff.

Buzz and Coop are outside of company.

Buzz says, “Coop why do you think people confide in me? Because I don’t lecture, I listen; I give them my opinion based on many, many years of experience.” Coop responds incredulously, “Experience? Really?” Buzz says he just wants to help Coop. Coop doesn’t NEED Buzz’s help or advice. Then he asks for Buzz’s opinion. He is out of his mind. She is a beautiful woman but it is safer for Coop to have a love affair with the deli meat slicer in the kitchen!

Alan at is the mansion with Beth complaining about Lizzie being upstairs with Bill in her room.

Beth thinks they all can keep an eye on him, including Billy and Vanessa. Alan says are you kidding?????
Beth responds that Billy loves Lizzie almost as much as Bill. Alan retorts, “Almost? Almost?”
Beth says fine, then it is up to them, and they will protect Lizzie. Alan grabs his keys and heads for the door. Grady music starts playing. Beth asks where he is going? He says he has to get out of the house and leaves.

Grady music plays. We see a bare chest with a scratch like Bill’s.

It is Grady’s chest. He is putting salve on the wound. Somehow his scratch didn’t heal during the “weeks” that Bill was in the coma. Someone is at the door. It is Cyrus.
Grady lets him in, says that no one knows he’s there, not even Lizzie. Cyrus says well you’re not invisible, you know.

Grady tells his big brother that everything is fine, that Bill woke up and doesn’t recognize him as the kidnapper! Cyrus says you think it is that easy? Grady took an extra precaution, the souvenir from Lizzie, stab wound. Bill has a wound too. Cyrus is incredulous and says, “You cut a guy in a coma?” Grady thinks it is brilliant. Lizzie will see that her boyfriend is the kidnapper.


Back to Lizzie and Bill, they are getting ready to make love.

Lizzie opens his shirt and sees the mark on his chest. He says don’t worry you’re not going to hurt me. She says, “I’m sorry. I have to go.” She runs to the bathroom, sits down and freaks! Bill doesn’t know what to think.

Only Love Can Save the World! Only Love!



Lizzie tells herself. That is Bill. It’s Bill. Bill looks at the scar. Lizzie looks at herself in the mirror.



Back at Grady’s place, Alan shows up. He just missed Grady.

Alan barges in and says close the door. Cyrus thought Grady’s business with Alan was finished. Alan says it isn’t finished until Bill Lewis is out of his life forever. Cyrus said that his brother said it was all under control.

Alan thinks Cyrus’s brother is a little rough around the edges. He wants Cyrus to work for him to finish the job. Cyrus tells him to leave without answering. Alan takes that as a maybe.


Buzz is talking to Coop outside Company.

He says that he and Beth just happened. Neither went out looking for anyone. But they found each other. Coop hasn’t dated anyone since Ashley. He complains about Blake calling and causing writers block. Buzz questions if Beth is the answer to the writers block. Coop tells the story of meeting Beth at college and connecting. No big deal. Buzz doesn’t believe him. Dangerous to be with Alan Spaulding’s wife; they live together and have a baby together even if not still married. Coop doesn’t want to be like Frank. He wants a woman in his life, I guess! He asks Buzz to not expect him to be level headed. None of the Coopers are. Buzz said that Coop was always the one who got it right. Coop wants to be a Cooper having fun. He wants to live the book before he writes the ending.

Olivia is still short of breath back at the Beacon. She sits down in the hallway.

Of course Decker comes by and sees her. He asks if she is alright. She says she is just having a power rest. She asks about the hedge fund. Decker says “We all got spanked on that one.”

[It is no big deal to him, yet he knows that it was all the money Natalia had to invest! I used to like him, now I’m thinking Decker is slimy.] He says “We are gearing up for a huge tour through Asia next week. If you can’t handle it, I need to know.” Of course, Olivia assures him she is fine! She hands him her hand and gets up.

Olivia goes to pick out clothes for the trip and says, “Would you like to help me, or should I surprise you?” in a teasing way as she opens the door to her suite.

Decker seems impressed, or at least in wonderment.

At Company, Buzz and Frank watch Natalia, who is exhausted.

Buzz can’t tell her what to do. Frank stops her from working to talk to her.

She is not buying Cassie’s house. He questions her some more and she tells him about the investment. “I invested it badly. It’s gone all of it.”

Lizzie comes out of the bathroom and tells Bill about the incident where she slashed the kidnapper.
He realizes that the slash on his chest is the same.

She says he is being set up, or maybe he got the scratch from the accident. She doesn’t doubt him. It would take a lot more than that to make her lose faith in Bill.

Back at Company, Frank makes Natalia take a break and sit down. He knows what she is trying to do, to make up for the loss but if she works 24 /7 she will kill herself. Rafe wouldn’t want to see his mother suffer like this. Frank wants to ask her out on a date to get out so she can relax. She says he has been a great friend, but she just can’t with Rafe in prison. She has nothing to offer him. He offers to finish waiting on her tables to let her rest. Olivia and Emma come in while she is sitting at the table.


Emma asks, “Mommy, why is Natalia so tired?”


Coop is in a convenience store standing in front of a large display of Charmin, looking at Halls cough drops.

He calls Beth to tell her he may have told his dad that he is the guy she is seeing.

She say, “May have?” He says, “OK, I did.” She says, “Why would you do that? You know he is going to tell my mother.” “He won’t; OK he might.” Just then Alan walks in and says, “Mr. Bradshaw, just the man I want to see.” Beth can hear him and freaks out.

Coop says a quick goodbye and turns to talk to Alan.

Back at the mansion, Bill pours himself a drink.

Lizzie comes in and asks if he is OK; she says he didn’t have to leave the bedroom. He doesn’t want her to sleep with him to prove something to him. They talk about who may have set him up. She says that she knows he is thinking about her grandfather, but he has actually been on her side. Even when everyone else doubted Bill. He started to confess for her. he has been on her side. He asks about Dinah. She took off. His mom said Dinah left town to search for a specialist to help him.

They sit down. He wants to know what she has been through. She talks about being blind folded. They are both tired. She is sorry she made a big deal about the scar. It is from the car accident, she knows it is.

Emma goes to Natalia. Natalia takes her to the counter for some ice cream.
Natalia and Olivia talk about conventions at the Beacon. Olivia offers her a raise. She doesn’t want Nat working there. Nat says a raise would be wonderful but she won’t stop working there.

Coop and Alan talk at the store.

Coop thinks it is about Beth, but it turns out to be about James. Coop will be teaching James in the 8th grade! (Sorased at last!) Who else would it be about? Alan asked. Coopers and Spauldings end up intertwined with each other. He is not sure he trusts coop. He read some of Coops book. Beth bought it. It wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be but his expectations were pretty low. Maybe he will like the next book better, about an affair an older woman a younger man. Alan might learn something. Alan says, from a boy like you? Coop says, “Alan, I’m not a boy.” Then he says he will be very fair with James. He gets along with all of the rest of Alan’s family. Maybe the problem is with Alan.

At the mansion, Mel stops by to talk to Bill about the kidnapping case.

He thanks her for taking the case. He asks if she thinks he is guilty. She asks if he is. He says he is innocent. They go over the evidence. The coat will be tough. They talk about proving he was set up. She only needs a little doubt. Is that all the evidence? Mel wants to know what he and Lizzie know. He describes what happened with the kidnapper. Lizzie thinks she left a mark on the kidnapper. He shows he the scar on his chest. Lizzie thinks he is innocent and that is all that matters. Mel says to button the shirt and don’t let anyone see it again.


Lizzie meets Cyrus at the convenience store.

Cyrus congratulates her on the good news that Bill is out of the coma. She is looking for something to fix a scar, for Aunt Alex. Cyrus says to tell Aunt Alex that to totally remove a scar she will need a plastic surgeon. Lizzie then offers him a job to find the real kidnapper.

At Company, Frank takes Olivia aside and tells her how upset he is about Natalia sinking her money in a get rich quick scheme.

Olivia didn’t know she was listening or that she would invest in it. Olivia has tried. Frank says stop trying. She will never be a decent human being. [Wow, Frank, kind of hard on her!]

Somewhere at the Beacon?? Natalia sits writing a letter to Rafe, still wearing her Company T-shirt. She tells him she won’t rest until he has every one of his dreams.

At police headquarters, Mel is with Bill. Frank wants to question Bill to clear up some matters. Mel advises against it. Bill is the only one who talked to the kidnapper. Bill says Lizzie believes in him. That’s all he knows. If Frank wants to know any more, talk to Mel. Frank says he has no choice but to take him in for fingerprinting.

At the store in front of a Prylosec display, Lizzie asks Cyrus if he will do it. She doesn’t want a cop; They think he’s guilty. She wants the truth. Cyrus agrees.

Natalia empties out her purse to count her meager tips and cries. Buzz listens in. He knocks on the door. She can’t quit crying.

Olivia knocks on Decker’s door at the Beacon. She want him to give Natalia her money back.

At Company, Buzz looks out the window and sees Coop and Beth making out. Buzz shakes his head.

At the mansion Alan is leaving Beth a message when Cyrus walks in. Cyrus tells him that Lizzie hired him to find the kidnapper. Alan says he assumes Cyrus will protect Grady. Cyrus agrees, and says he will protect anyone else who deserves to be. Alan asks if that would include him. No. Cyrus needs money for that!

Lizzie finds Mel and Bill at the station after bail has been paid. Bill turned himself in. He is the one and only suspect. They want to get out of here. Lizzie doesn’t want to go home. Too many parents. She doesn’t want to be in Springfield. She wants to get away for a while to be alone with him.

Previews (by V8): Mallet has a surprise for Marina.
