The Game Of Love

Cyrus becomes indispensable to Lizzie as he continues to play his games. Edmund pushes Shayne about Lara. Reva toys with Dinah.

Previously - Bill remembers everything. He doesn’t however know who the kidnapper is. Everyone finding out that Lara is Edmund’s daughter. Shayne and Dinah look through the window at Company. Shayne tells Dinah he has to protect his family from Edmund. Dinah warns Shayne he can’t piss off a man like Edmund.

Dinah walks out of Company with some coffee and sees Matt. Dinah asks how her sister is. She wants to help Maureen. She tried to call the other day. Matt says that Maureen is seeing a counsellor to work through her problems. Dinah says that Maureen needs her family. Dinah can help. Matt says no. Dinah will talk to Vanessa about this. Matt says fine. Dinah warns Matt he’s going to be real sorry if he doesn’t let Dinah help.

Reva is at Cross Creek cursing when Shayne walks in. Reva says she’s fine. It’s just been one of those days when nothing goes wrong. Reva says her son looks great. What is wrong? She’s pregnant and has cancer. Shayne tells his mom to lie down. He will go get her a cup of tea. Reva says she’s fine. She says that her son just got on his feet. Well she can take care of him when she’s had the baby and is not fighting cancer. Shayne looks a the front of the Springfield Journal “ Prince Edmund has returned to town” .

Edmund is in the cemetery standing in the snow. Josh shows up. Edmund says there is something comforting about a graveyard. It’s peaceful. What is sad is that he has no clue where his own daughter is buried. Josh is sorry for that. Is he? Josh explains that it was a lot for them to take in that Edmund was back. Then they found out that he was Lara’s father. It was a shock. Edmund never leaves town under the best of circumstances. Josh is sorry that Edmund lost Lara. Josh has no clue the pain he would feel over losing a child. Edmund thanks Josh for his compassion. Josh then warns Edmund that he will do everything in his power to protect his son and keep him safe. Edmund understands.

Jeffrey knocks on Shayne’s door but finds no one there but Dinah. Jeffrey says that Dinah’s place was his next stop. When Shayne found out that Edmund was Lara’s father, there was this look between them. What was the look about? Dinah thought that Jeffrey was going to ship Edmund off to prison and keep an eye on him. Jeffrey is still keeping an eye on Eddie. When he’s done whatever he wants to do then Jeffrey will ship Edmund back out of town. Dinah says that is a bit hard right now because Jeffrey is so wrapped up in Reva. Jeffrey says yes because Edmund is wrapped up in her life. Reva will be happy if Shayne is happy so Jeffrey is going to make that so. Dinah can help. Jeffrey tells Dinah no.


Bill and Billy are back at the Beacon after traipsing through the woods. Billy tells his son to go off in the woods during the summer next time. Billy got a cold from the cold weather. How is Bill doing? He’s better. Bill picks up Roxie. Billy says good. Bill can go make it up to Lizzie then find a proper size pooch. This is of course as Billy is petting and laughing with Roxie.

Lizzie meanwhile is in the mansion looking at a picture of Bill. She hides it when Cyrus enters. Cyrus says that he was tailing Coop Bradshaw who was very boring. Beth doesn’t think so. Cyrus says he wants more of a challenge. He wants to be indispensable to Lizzie. How is she today? As opposed to yesterday when she he turned her proposition down. She needed someone and he was there. Lizzie says he wasn’t there. That was the problem. Cyrus says maybe next time. Lizzie says not likely that it will happen again. She hopes he had a good look yesterday with her guard down because it will not happen again. Cyrus leaves the room for a moment. Lizzie pulls out and looks at the picture of Bill.

“ Only ….”

Bill thanks his father for coming after him. He thanks him for the help. Billy questions if Bill is alright now. He’s fine. He’s been through a lot. He’s put everyone through a lot the last bit. Billy says it’s his job to worry about his son. Bill says he doesn’t make it easy for his father. Billy agrees. Bill pushed everyone away with his doubts including Lizzie. He’s sorry he did that to Lizzie. Billy says that Bill can still fix it. It’s not too late. Billy leaves. Bill plays with Roxie.

Cyrus returns to the room with a glass of orange juice. Cyrus says it was not easy to walk away from Lizzie. Lizzie smirks because he wanted to be a gentleman. Cyrus is sorry that he upset her. He just wants to be indispensable to her at work. Lizzie says she’s fine. She’ll live. Cyrus wants more from the job. He wants more of a connection with her. He thinks they can do great things together. Lizzie says he can do that by getting Beth out of this cougar mode with Coop. Cyrus wants a more challenging job. Lizzie walks over to the table to grab a glass of coffee. Cyrus accidentally bumps into her dumping his glass of orange juice on her. He’s so sorry. He can help her clean up. Lizzie says she has to go and change now. Cyrus is really sorry. Lizzie leaves. Cyrus snoops around her desk and finds the picture of Bill and Lizzie. He places it in his pocket.

Dinah is still talking with Jeffrey. Edmund has an agenda. Jeffrey says he may but Lara is his daughter. That was proven. Jeffrey is going to keep an eye on him. Reva is happy as long as Shayne is happy. Eddie can stay in town if he can help Shayne with his grief.
At Cross Creek, Reva laughs at the fact that her son is helping her out with his bum leg. She can help him when she’s feeling better. Reva says she’s too tired to argue now. Shayne says he’s sorry his mom is so stressed. Reva says that life is full of coincidences. Reva can deal with Edmund if he can help Shayne with his grief over Lara’s death. Shayne says that Edmund does want to more about Lara then he’ll leave maybe Shayne should talk to him. Reva says do that if it will help him. Shayne has no clue. Reva tells Shayne to do what is right for him. If talking to Edmund helps then do it then Edmund can crawl back under that rock he came from.

Edmund tells Josh how he had all these plans when he found Lara. Now he has to plan the death of his child. Josh has dealt with loss before. So what Edmund heard is true. Cassie has left for Hawaii. She’s happy. Reva is married to Jeffrey? Edmund never would have seen that one coming. Josh says that things change and you move on. Edmund thought he would not change but he found Lara. It’s the reason he’s around now. Edmund has all these questions about his daughter that is why talking to Shayne is so important. Shayne is Edmund’s last link to Lara. It’s why he can’t walk away yet. Josh gets that. Edmund can talk to Shayne about Lara but if Edmund hurts Josh’s son then the bet is off. Edmund will be sorry be the day that he steps back in Springfield.

Reva is sleeping on the couch when Shayne looks at the newspaper again. He rips it up seeing the stress that Reva is under because of it.


Bill finds Daisy at Company. He went up a mountain to find Phillip in the hopes that it would help keep Alan away from Lizzie. Daisy says that is so romantic. Bill tells his niece that he hit his head again. He’s had a bit of a concussion which is the downside. The upside is that he has all of his memories back. Daisy is swooning at the news. She’s so happy for Bill and Lizzie. Now they can get back together. Bill says that they have a long road to get Lizzie. He’s not sure if he deserves her anymore. Daisy says that he is over thinking this way too much. What did Lizzie say when he told her the good news? He hasn’t actually told her yet. Lizzie will want to hear this. She will then see the devotion and that Bill has for her. She’ll be swept of her feet. Bill thanks Daisy for believing in him.

Reva helps Shayne put on his jacket at Cross Creek just as Jeffrey and Dinah return. Reva is not impressed to see Dinah at all. Reva says she’s seen way too much of Dinah the last bit. Dinah asks if she can go somewhere and talk with Shayne for a moment. Shayne and Dinah step outside. Shayne tells Dinah that he is going to go talk to Edmund about Lara. Dinah says that is a huge mistake. Shayne needs to do this. Dinah again tries to warn Shayne. Reva is beyond stressed out because of this. Shayne has to keep his family safe from Edmund. Shayne is going to go and chat with Edmund then it’s over. Edmund can leave then all be happy. Shayne starts to leave. Dinah stops him. Reva watches her son and Dinah. She wishes that Dinah would find a new playmate and just leave Shayne alone.

Shayne attempts to explain to Dinah about Edmund. Reva is beyond stressed. Shayne is going to ask Edmund to leave. Dinah says that Edmund is not a simple landmine that Shayne can just diffuse. Edmund will destroy Shayne if he finds out the truth. Edmund will keep pushing and Shayne will break down and admit what happened to Lara. Shayne says give him some credit. Dinah says that Edmund could really hurt him. Shayne says he’ll be fine. He has to go. Reva watches Dinah and Shayne argue from the doorway.

Lizzie is in her bedroom when she sees Roxie’s pink leash. She relents for a second then Cyrus enters. Cyrus asks if she is alright. Lizzie is fine. She just has to get changed. Then they can get back to work. Cyrus will see her in the study. Lizzie heads into the bathroom to change. Bill then walks in and sees Cyrus in Lizzie’s room. What is he doing in here? Cyrus says that Lizzie is busy. Bill should really call next time. Lizzie walks out in a slinky top. She walks over and snuggles up to Cyrus.

Lizzie tells Cyrus they can head out later. She’ll meet him in the study. Cyrus leaves. Bill questions Lizzie and Cyrus? What is up with that? He likes her. She likes him. It’s simple which is a nice change. Why is he there? He wants to tell her something. He went out of town to find… .Lizzie and Cyrus? Cyrus is a con man and a player. He’s a cad just ask Alexandra. Lizzie says everyone deserves a second chance. She gave Bill how many chances. Bill then sees the pink leash. He remarks that belongs to Roxie. Lizzie must still care. Lizzie lies and says that she actually was planning on messenger it to Bill. She doesn’t want Roxie or Bill back. Cyrus and Lizzie will be heading out soon. She has to get ready. Is there anything else? Bill says no. He just wanted to make sure that she is o.k. She’s fine. Bill leaves. Lizzie looks in the mirror and fixes her hair.

Cyrus sees Daisy at Company. He’s looking for Grady. Company is not one of Grady’s favourite spots. Has Cyrus check out the mayor’s office? Cyrus can’t still wrap his head around that concept. Cyrus says that he had a job for Grady. Daisy says she can help. She’s always needing extra money. Cyrus says that actually it would not work for her. It involves his work with Lizzie at Spaulding Lewis. How is that work? Cyrus smirks. It’s interesting. It’s hard to describe. Daisy can’t believe that Cyrus is making a move on Lizzie now. Daisy goes off on Cyrus. He can’t keep coning women. First Marina, then Harley and Cassie and now Lizzie? He needs to stay away from Bill and Lizzie. Daisy leaves. Cyrus is shocked by Daisy’s outburst.

Shayne tells Dinah he can handle Edmund. Dinah says that is not easy as he thinks. Shayne hides his feelings behind a wall like Dinah. They have great intentions but they usually backfire on them. Think about it. Edmund will start pushing Shayne about his love for Lara and Shayne will crack and make a comment. All heck will break loose then. Shayne leaves. Dinah calls out. Reva rushes over to Dinah. Reva saw that exchange. What happened? Dinah says she may need Reva’s help. Does Reva have a car? Dinah is going to need it. Dinah needs to stop Shayne before he becomes Edmund’s last target. Reva knows where they are meeting. She can take Dinah there. Dinah follows Reva.


Bill is at Towers trying to figure out Cyrus and Lizzie when he sees Matt enter. Matt was supposed to meet Josh but that go delayed. Matt saw Dinah earlier. How is Bill? Bill says that a lot is going on right now. Matt says if Bill needs to talk he’s a good sounding board. Daisy shows up. Coop told her about Maureen’s problems. Daisy can talk to Maureen and scare her straight if Matt wants. Matt says thanks then leaves. Daisy asks what happened when Bill told Lizzie that he had his memory back? She didn’t believe him. He didn’t tell her because he found her there with Cyrus. They were upstairs….in her bedroom. Daisy is ticked at Cyrus. Bill climbed a mountain to help Lizzie. That has to count for something. Bill says that if he told her she would just think it’s another lie. Daisy says not necessarily. Bill has no proof that he has his memory back. He has to prove to Lizzie with his actions that he has changed. Bill has a lot of work to make that happen but he knows what he has to do.

Dinah arrives outside the Bauer cabin. She goes up to the front door. She calls out Shayne’s name and opens the door which is unlocked.

Edmund is sitting in his room at the Beacon when there is a knock at the door. It’s Shayne. Shayne says he’s there lets talk and then Edmund can leave. Edmund says that Shayne is definitely Josh’s son. Where is his manners? Shayne notices the paperwork on the table. Edmund says that they are all from Lara. Edmund tells Shayne to tell him what he knows about Lara. Did she like her work? Did she have friends? Yes and yes. What else? Edmund wants to know everything Reva has cancer again. Does Edmund not realize that? Edmund doesn’t want to fight. He wants to know about his beautiful daughter who is gone again. Lara was full of such hope and joy. She couldn’t walk away from her father even when she found out what type of man he was. She had hope for him. Can Shayne have a little compassion for a man who lost his daughter.

Dinah looks around the cabin but there is no Edmund or Shayne. Dinah pulls out her phone. There is no service out there. Reva says nobody knows where they are. Shayne is not there. Reva lied to her. Reva laughs. Dinah has done her fair share of lying in the past. Reva just bent the truth a little is all. Reva knows what it is like to bottle up her feelings. Shayne will not tell Reva or Josh about Lara. If Edmund can get Shayne to open up then that is a good thing. Shayne needs to talk about Lara. Reva tells Dinah to sit. There are books on fishing and knitting to read. It’s her choice. She is not going to see Shayne until he talks. Dinah shakes her head.

Matt and Josh are in Company when Billy shows up. Billy orders all sorts of goodies for Bill. Bill is staying at Towers. He can get all this food. Billy wants to do this for his son. Bill explains that he went on a trip with his son and Bill is back. Bill had a breakthrough. He’s not the one who kidnapped Lizzie. Billy got his son back finally. Josh says he used to be that close with Shayne. He wishes he had that closeness back.

Lizzie is in the study looking for her picture of Bill that Cyrus hid. Cyrus enters and asks how it went with Bill. Lizzie is sorry she had to use Cyrus that way. She had to do something drastic to get Bill leave. She was lying for a good cause. Cyrus has done that before. Cyrus is proving how indispensable he is. Lizzie questions if she will ever see Bill again and not feel that sadness in her heart. Cyrus is not sure but if she ever wants to talk. She can use him. Lizzie says it’s nice to have a friend. Is she looking for something? It doesn’t matter now. It was just a picture. Lizzie leaves. Cyrus pulls out the picture and crumples it in his hand.

Josh arrives at Cross Creek and finds Jeffrey. Josh has just talked to Edmund. Edmund is not going anywhere until he gets answers about Lara. Reva is not with Josh? No. Jeffrey is getting worried because at this time of day Reva always has a rest. She’s not answering her phone and Jeffrey is really starting to get worried. This is not good.

Dinah tells Reva that she is crazy. Reva saw Dinah fighting with Shayne. Dinah has no clue when to just leave Shayne alone. Dinah tells Reva that Shayne can’t tangle with Edmund right now. He’s a huge raw nerve right now. He’s not in a good place. Dinah would never hurt him. Shayne is her first friend that she’s had in a long time. Dinah needs to go find Shayne now. Reva says she can’t do that. The car is not working. Is Reva kidnapping Dinah? Reva says she is not. She called a service and they will be there in one hour. Just long enough for Shayne to talk to Edmund. Shayne is a grown man. He needs to figure this out himself. Dinah says that is right but Edmund is still Edmund.

Edmund understands that there is a lot of bad blood between him and the Lewis family. Shayne agrees with that. Edmund says that there is Lara now. Edmund says they can help each other. Shayne can’t do that. Shayne pulls out Edmund’s suitcase. Edmund says that Shayne has to see this. It’s a letter from Lara. Probably her very last words. She tells Edmund of her love for Shayne. Can Shayne really turn away from the letter?

Preview: Edmund says that Shayne has not lost a child. He has no clue how it feels. Lara saw the good in her father. Reva and Dinah are arguing. It was bad luck that Dinah was the one that found Shayne in Germany. Dinah collapses.

Outta Of My Head

Alan grill Beth and Coop about their affair. Bill remembers what happened. Blake takes the book to get published. Lizzie attempts to keep her family from falling apart.

Previously - Alan seeing Beth and Coop making love at Company. Bill seeing Billy at the Cabin. Both of them realizing that Phillip was there but is gone now. Alan looking at the letter opener as Beth enters.


At the cabin, Bill wakes up woozy from being bopped on the head. Billy is sitting beside him reading the notes that Phillip left behind. Billy explains that Bill hit his head and he’s been out cold for a bit. Bill says he has to go and warn Lizzie. He can’t let Phillip get her. Billy tells his son to rest. Bill looks over the paperwork as well.

In Company, Buzz can’t help but be worried for the safety of his son. Coop says it will all be fine. Beth is going to break it off with Alan today. They have been teetering on the edge of a break up for a long time. Coop explains that he and Beth are going to wait a couple of weeks then start to see each other. Alan will none the wiser. Alan will never touch Company. There will be no reason for Alan to flatten Company. Frank enters and sees his baby brother. Frank calls Coop Captain Daredevil. Coop says cute. Coop then sees Blake enter. Coop tells Blake the book is way too hot to be published. Blake is touched. She says the book should be published because it’s about a true love story. Coop tells Blake the story will not be published if he has any say.

Rick walks into Towers and sees Lizzie at the bar. She’s looking at a glass of wine. If she’s not going to drink it, she should donate it. Lizzie passes the glass over to Rick. What is going on with her? Why did Beth and Rick have break up? Rick laughs and says that would take a long time to tell her. The short version is 6 hours. Rick knows about Beth and Coop. Lizzie is shocked. How many people know about the affair? It is only going to end bad for all of them if Alan ever figures out.


Beth walks into the study in the Mansion and sees Alan with the letter opener. He’s back from his trip. Yes he is. She s him home. She questions if something is wrong. Alan glares at Beth as he holds the letter opener.

“ Only love ….”

Alan looks at a picture of Beth. She’s worried about him. Is there something wrong? Alan says sorry. It’s just been a very long day. He was caught off guard by something today. He was stabbed in the back and betrayed by someone close. Beth is not sure what Alan means. Alan turns and looks at his lying wife and says that it was about business. It came as a huge blow to him when he found out. It upset him so much. The wound is still very fresh. Alan questions why words like trust, faith and honour mean nothing to people these days. Beth doesn’t understand but starts to squirm. Alan says of course Beth would not know something like that. What is he going to do about the betrayal? That’s a very good question. He’s going to have to think about that. Alan looks down at the letter opener. Beth is spooked now. Alan says he could just change his mind and walk away but that is not who he is. It’s not following the principles that have guided his life so far. It means that he will fight for what he wants and what is his. No one will take away or they will have a huge battle on their hands. Alan will destroy them. Beth is visibly worried and spooked. Alan puts on the charm and asks how Beth’s day was. Beth says it was fine. Nothing happened. Alan says that she looks beautiful. He wants her to come with him upstairs. Why? He wants to see their beautiful baby daughter. It’s times like this when you really need your family. Beth and Alan head up the stairs. Beth heads into the room. Alan stops then follows her.


Frank and Buzz are talking in Company while watching Coop and Blake talk. Alan can not put this together. Coop thinks that Alan and Beth will just break up then he can start dating Beth a couple of weeks later. Frank says this is why he hates secrets. They always blow up in your face. Frank is worried about the toll this affair is taking on Buzz. If Alan figures out then he will come after the Cooper family. Buzz wishes that his son wasn’t like this. Frank looks at Buzz and says that Coop is exactly like his father. Coop attempts to reason with Blake. The book can not be published. Blake is really confused. Did he not hear the words of the publisher? This is a guaranteed best seller. Coop does not care. He wrote the book…for himself. Blake says it was a beautiful story. The heroine is such an incredible woman. Coop realizes that Blake assumes that she’s the heroine. Coop shakes his head. Coop says that if the story is published then everyone will want to know who the woman is in question. Blake is fine with that. It’s a beautiful love story. The world needs stories like this right now. He will have great success with this story. Coop says no it can not be published. She has to tell the publisher no. Coop will just write another story. As good as this one? Coop agrees that is not possible.

Lizzie tells Rick at Towers that Coop had the nerve to write a book about the affair. Rick says that writers do that. All he did was change the names but everyone will know. It’s not likely that Alan will read the book. Lizzie says that is not the point. Everyone else will read it. Coop is just asking for trouble from Alan. Coop loves Beth. Lizzie says that love does not work. Rick says that they both have the same point. Lizzie explains that Phillip get more delusional with the lies. Rick agrees with that. Would Lizzie want her father to return? Lizzie agrees but only if Phillip is o.k. mentally. If he is the same as before then it’s best to be left dropped.

Bill and Billy talk at the cabin. Bill needs to take a break. He hit his head pretty good. Billy tells his son to sit down. Phillip is not there now. Bill needs Phillip to help him with Lizzie. Billy tells his son to sit down. Bill can’t because he feels sick. He rushes outside to puke. Billy tells Bill he has a concussion. He needs to rest and lie down.

Blake and Coop are outside. Blake is leaving now. She’s really disappointed in Coop that he doesn’t want the story published. Coop says it has to be that way. Blake leaves. Frank comes outside and sees Coop. Buzz told him about Beth? Frank says yes. Coop can imagine that Frank has a judgement about Beth. Frank does. Coop has a simple question for Frank. What if Coop were to nose around in Frank’s business and tell him what to do? How would Frank react? Frank would not be impressed either. Point taken.

Back at the Mansion, Alan is walking down the stairs with Beth. He remarks on how beautiful Payton is getting. Alan feels like moments with his daughter and all the cares of the world just melt away. He can almost forget the betrayals. Beth’s phone rings then with a text. She’s all freaked. Alan asks who. Beth lies and says that it’s a girlfriend from school. The text is form Coop asking if she has already broken it off with Alan? Coop waits in Company for a reply. Alan watches a very nervous Beth.

Lizzie is still at Towers when Lillian shows up. She got Lizzie’s text. Lizzie says that Lillian really needs to knock some sense into her daughter now. She needs to stop Beth before she does something really stupid. Lillian says that this must have something to do with Coop right. Lizzie is aghast. How many people know about Beth and Coop? Lillian is worried about her granddaughter Lizzie says she’s fine. She’s stepping up and taking care of her family. She doesn’t need to be protected. Lillian goes off to talk to her daughter.

Billy is on the phone outside the cabin. He attempts to call Rick but no answer. Rick finally answers while shopping in the convenience store. Billy found Bill at the cabin. No Phillip. Rick suspected as much. Billy says he has a bigger problem the Phillip. Bill has a concussion. Rick asks if Bill has been sick? He has. Billy needs to find a doctor for him. Billy says that’s a bit hard being out in the middle of nowhere. Billy just has to take care of his son. Rick will find a doctor for Bill. Bill lies down in the bed and starts to have flashes of Lizzie.

Beth is in the Mansion drinking a glass of scotch when Lillian shows up. Is she celebrating breaking it off ? No it’s a glass of liquid courage. Lizzie asked that Lillian come and talk to her daughter. Beth is not in the mood for a double set of I told you so. Lillian tries to warn her daughter that she’s seen this before. This is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Lillian wants to run for a bomb shelter when it happens. Lillian shakes her head as she looks at her daughter.


Frank is cleaning in Company when Coop comes back in. Where is Buzz? He’s out doing an errand. Coop really needs to talk to his dad. He’s busy. Coop can take care of taking out the trash. Coop heads outside and finds Alan standing outside the window. Alan says to Mr. Bradshaw. Is Alan looking for Buzz? No, he just came to take a look at his purchase. Alan is drawn to this window for some reason. Coop suggests going inside and warming up. Alan says that he owns a lot of properties. None make him feel the same as standing in front of Company. Coop says that is good. Is Alan sure he doesn’t want to head in for a cup of coffee? Alan says that when they were working out the deal . What was the word they used for Coop? Point person. A contact. A liaison. That is the word that Alan was looking for. It’s quite the word isn’t it. Coop is nervous. Alan says that they are all connected now in many ways. Alan has seen many men like Coop before. He’s starting to see Coop in a new light though. He’s seeing the real person that Coop is. Coop is unnerved by the words.

Lizzie is in the convenience store looking at the Pepto Bismol. Buzz walks over and says he can split a bottle with her. Lizzie says that she may need the whole bottle for herself. Things are going to work out. Everyone just wants to be happy. Buzz wants to believe that. Lizzie says if that is true then why did nobody think of how Alan would feel. Lizzie knows. Is she going to tell him? Lizzie is not going to be the one to do that. Buzz wants to ask Lizzie something. Do you think that people that feel so strong about each other may actually belong together? Lizzie says she is the last person to ask such a question to. Lizzie walks away unsure of what to do now.

Billy wipes Bill’s forehead at the cabin as Bill dreams. Bill flashes on the ransom drop then he’s sitting with Lizzie at the mansion. She believes that it is all over. Bill is in the middle of the woods looking around. Bill flashes on saying to Lizzie he can’t lie to her anymore. He doesn’t know the truth. The truth reverberates. Bill no remember. Just then a sound brings flashes to Bill’s mind. Bill can see the van now. He can see himself following the trail to it. Bill is walking in the woods then sees the figure in black waving at him. Bill chases after the figure. Bill calls out Lizzie’s name in the cannery. Bill sees the figure in black again. Bill sees Lizzie in the cannery and she rushes into his arms. He hugs her close. Bill gets closer to the figure. He can see himself fighting with the figure in black now. He’s so close to the figure. He can almost take the mask off. Bill bolts out of bed. Billy tells his son to relax. Bill tells his father he remembers everything. He was not the one that kidnapped Lizzie.

Beth is drinking more scotch at the Mansion when Coop shows up. He can’t be there. Beth and Coop kiss. Did she tell Alan yet? It’s not the right time. Coop says he understands and kisses Beth again.

Lizzie is drawing Bill’s name with hearts at Spaulding Lewis. She curses and rips up the piece of paper just as Alan enters. He questions if she ever quits. He’s so proud seeing her working there. He feels like Spaulding Lewis is more of his home then home sometimes. Lizzie understands that. Is he alright? He’s fine. Alan was amazing at the meeting. He still has the power. Alan thanks Lizzie. Lizzie says she has a plan for the business. She was so proud of him at the meetings. She wants to get the word out about Spaulding. She suggests an ambassador that can go around and tell people about Spaulding. Alan says he can’t do that right now. He has stuff to take care of at home. He can’t do all the travelling right now. Alan questions why it feels like Lizzie is trying to get rid of him? Lizzie smiles at her grandfather.

Bill tells Billy at the cabin that he remembers it all. Bill heard this distinct sound then all these flashes of stuff came back to him. He knows that he was not the one that kidnapped Lizzie. He remembers fighting with the figure in black. Did he see the face of the figure? No.

Alan says he can’t leave right now. He has to stay in Springfield and keep and eye on things. For instance making sure that Bill doesn’t try to worm his way back into Lizzie’s life. Bill really needs to get the point from Lizzie. Alan says he can’t leave because he’s got front row seats to the best show around. He gets to watch is granddaughter take the reins of Spaulding herself. Lizzie can always call Alan if she has problems.
Bill tells Billy he fells a lot better. His head is a lot more clearer now. Bill knew that he was not guilty of the kidnapping. He knows though that he has made Lizzie’s life hell for the last year. He has to make it up to her. He has to show her that he is not the kidnapper. Bill sees the photo again of Lizzie and Phillip. He stuffs the picture in his pocket. Billy and Bill head off to return to Springfield.

Blake explains to the publisher that the author does not want the story published. He’s a fool. It will be a best seller in fact her is the advance cheque. Blake is stunned by the amount. She decides that Coop needs a swift kick in the pants. He will take the deal. Does he have an agent? Blake can do that job.

Beth and Coop are still kissing at the Mansion. He really has to get out of there now. Is there a reason why he is there? There is. He convinced Blake to stop the book from being published. Blake fought it but Coop convinced her. Why is Blake so stubborn? She thought she was the lady in question. Blake and Coop? Coop blushes. Should Beth be jealous? Beth kisses Coop passionately as the camera pans back and a picture of Beth and her family is shown.

Preview -

Daisy is all excited that Bill remembers everything. Now he has to tell Lizzie the truth. Shayne says that Edmund is going to keep pushing him unless he tells him the truth. Dinah says that will be disaster if he tells Edmund the truth. Bill walks into Lizzie’s bedroom and finds Cyrus there. Why is Cyrus there? He’s with Lizzie now. Bill and Lizzie are over.

Matters Of The Heart


Bill enters the cabin and starts to search around. He notices that indeed someone has been staying there. He sees papers on the table with writing. He knows that Phillip has been there.

In the Mansion, things are heating up between Cyrus and Lizzie. Lizzie is sure that she wants Cyrus right now. He is the only man in the room. Lizzie flirts with Cyrus and tells him to take her right there. Cyrus smirks and passionately kisses Lizzie.

At the farmhouse, Buzz shows up with a housewarming gift for Natalia. He says it must be a pain living with Olivia. Its not so bad really. Natalia opens the present and its a digital picture frame. She can add pictures of herself and Rafe. She can give it to him the next time shes at the prison. She says its a great idea. Buzz asks about Emmas speech. He noticed that Emma was all excited and nervous the last time she was at Company. Natalia is a little unnerved. She says that it was surprising. Buzz is puzzled.

Beth and Coop are making out right in the middle of Company. Beth says she has to stop and leave. She cant do this. Coop asks Beth to tell him that this is wrong. What they have doesnt matter? Beth and Coop passionately kiss as she removes her shirt. She stops for a second feeling that shes being watched. She brushes it off. She says its nothing. Beth and Coop continue to make love. He carries her to the back of the room as Alan watches them stunned by the sight. Olivia comes up and speaks to Alan but he doesnt hear her. Hes still stunned by the news. He asked to meet her there to talk about Emma. Alans not sure what to say as he starts to slump to the ground.


In the Mansion, Cyrus and Lizzie are still making love. Cyrus is asking over and over if Lizzie is sure. He doesnt want her to regret them in the morning. Cyrus says hes just learning the ropes at Spaulding Lewis. Hes learning how to be useful to her. Lizzie says hes being very useful right now. She starts to remove her shirt and kisses him. Cyrus doesnt want Lizzie to wake up in the morning and question what happened. He cant get fired from this job. He needs it. Lizzie laughs. How can Cyrus think while she is nibbling his neck? Cyrus thinks they can do incredible things together business wise. Lizzie becomes ticked feeling that she is being rejected. She tells Cyrus that he is fired. Cyrus is shocked and questions what just happened.

Bill snoops around the cabin and realizes that he must have just missed Phillip. He sees a picture of Phillip and Lizzie together. He hears a noise outside and calls Phillips name. Bill takes off outside to catch up to Phillip.

At the farmhouse, Natalia is unnerved explaining the project to Buzz. Emma was supposed to talk about her family. What made it unique and different? She entitled it My Two Mommies. Some of the parents and the teacher got the wrong idea from the title. They though they were more than just mommies living together. Buzz says right Olivia runs a hotel. Hes clueless as to what the problem is. Natalia explains that some of them jumped to the wrong conclusion that she and Olivia were a couple. Buzz says oh. Natalia says its outrageous right. How can they even imagine it? Buzz laugh. They are just a pair of women that moved in together to help raise their children. Alan didnt see it that way. He blew his top at the suggestion.

Olivia sees that Alan is frazzled and tells him to sit. Does she need to call an ambulance? Alan says no. Alan will be fine. They can head inside to talk. Alan says no. If they are going to talk about Emma they should go to the farmhouse. Alan wants to see his granddaughter.

In the afterglow on the floor of Company Beth and Coop talk about what happened. The last couple of weeks has changed her. She needs more time to figure it out but she knows she can not go back to Alan. They are finished as a couple. Coop is stunned by the decision.


Coop questions what just happened other than the obvious. Beth says she cant go back to that life with Alan. Coop cant wait to see Alans face. Beth says he cant do that. Alan is dangerous if he figures out about them. Beth has to be careful around him. Alan will shut down and lose it because he was so close to everything. Beth has to do what is best for everyone concerned. She is just going to tell him that they dont belong together anymore. It doesnt work. Coop says that sounds good but there is a problem. A lot of people know that they are a couple now. How can they make sure that Alan will not find out the truth? Beth will figure it out. She has to be cautious right now. Coop agrees. Beth says she will stay with him for now. She wants to be with him. She kisses Coop.

Olivia and Alan arrive at the farmhouse. Natalia says this is different. How is he? Olivia tells Alan to sit and rest. Where is Emma? Shes up in her room doing homework. Alan wants to see her now. Alan doesnt understand how the story came out about the two of them. They are not a couple. They are helping each other raise their children. Is that all? It is. They share a life together. There is no shame in having a loving home. Its a better home then some of places that Olivia has been with Emma. Emma saw that they had a loving home. Alan wants to make sure his granddaughter is alright. He heads up the stairs. Natalia asks what is wrong with Alan? Olivia is not sure but there is a lot more than just them.

Cyrus looks at Lizzie in the mansion. Shes firing him. This is unbelievable. They were making love and he rejected her. Cyrus say he did not do that. Lizzie says she wants to feel a connection with someone. She was taking his clothes off and he pushed her away. Lizzie tells Cyrus to leave her room now.

Bill is outside the cabin and hears a noise. He calls out Phillips name and takes off after the figure. Bill turns a corner and gets bopped on the head by a branch. Hes knocked out cold.


Cyrus is at the convenience store sitting down. Hes trying to figure out what the heck just happened with Lizzie. Grady enters and asks what Cyrus problem is. Lizzie Spaulding. Lizzie wanted to sleep with him. They were getting into it and he pulled back. They work together so it would only make it more complicated. Cyrus was working a great angle with Lizzie. If he had played his cards right things would have been a lot different. She was just learning to trust him as well. Why did he not sleep with her then? It would have been a bad call. She fired him for not doing it. Cyrus says now all his plans are out the window.

A figure in cowboy boots loads Bill on a stretcher and takes him back to the cabin.

Back at the farmhouse did Alan have a good visit with Emma. Alan can see that the living situation is not corrupting her right. Its an alternative lifestyle that works for them. Hes known both of them for a long time so he knows they are not like that. Alan can just say lesbian. Its not a bad word. Alan says though to outsiders it looks a lot worse. They could assume that they are a couple. Natalia says they are not that. It can ruin their reputations if this gets out. Alan warns them that people can be cruel and hurt you in ways that surprise you in unexpected ways. It can only end in tragedy. Olivia says they cant control what others think. Alan says that Olivia can move out. They can stop living together. Olivia says no. This way works for them. Why is Alan being so passive. If Alan wants something usually he fights tooth and nail to get it back. He always fights. Alan is unsure of what to say after seeing Beth with Coop.

Beth and Coop clean up their mess at Company. Coop wants Beth to call him after she tells Alan. He wants to know that she is alright. Beth says shes going to do what makes sense. Beth feels more alive than every with him. She kisses Coop. Coop can walk out to the car with her. Beth says they cant do that now with Alan being home. What if someone sees them? There is nothing wrong with him walking her to her car. Beth says no. Coop reluctantly agrees. Beth and Coop kiss again. Beth leaves. Coop smirks then cleans up the mess at Company.

Beth walks outside and is confronted by a livid and disgusted Lizzie. She just read that trash that Coop wrote. She felt nauseous reading it. Beth says that Coop is a great guy. If Lizzie would just let her. Lizzie tells Beth to save it. This situation sounds awfully familiar a cute young man that is writer that protects her from the world. Lizzie says this is about Phillip and not Coop. Beth has not gotten over Phillip.


Bill wakes up in the cabin with a hell of a headache. He feels woozy as he sits up. Just then the figure with the cowboy boots shows up carrying a load of wood. Its Billy !

Coop is not about Phillip. Lizzie says hogwash. Beth never got over Phillip. How many men has she been with that remind her of Phillip or their connection? She married his father, best friend and is now involved with a younger version of him. Beth says she cant do this. Alan is coming home today. Alan will not find out unless someone tells him. Lizzie says she will not be the one. It wont matter if that trash of a novel is published. It will embarrass Alan. Imagine what happens when it comes out. Beth says that will never happen. Beth doesnt want to be married to Alan anymore. She is going to break his heart with the news. Beth is not going to throw her romance with Coop in Alans face. Give Beth some credit. She has to leave now and meet Alan at the house.

Cyrus is still at the convenience store with Grady. Grady is gobbling a hot dog. Cyrus says he will just have to figure out another plan. Grady says he can just apologize. Lizzie would fall for that. Shes vulnerable right now. Lizzie has a lot more fight in her then that. Does Grady forget how she fought him when he kidnapped her? Cyrus says its too late to apologize. Hes got to figure out another angle.

Emma is happy playing up in her room in the farmhouse. Olivia says that Alan seems sad. Olivia says she knows how that feels. Natalia assumes that it went well with him. Olivia says not yet. Hes fighting something else and its not them.

In the convenience store again, Buzz is now there and finds Coop buying chocolates. For Buzz? No. They are Beths favourites. Coop is playing with fire. Coop says that is wrong. In fact Beth is ending it with Alan right now. They can finally be together. Its really going to happen. Buzz is stunned by the news.

In the mansion, Alan yells out for Beth. Is she there? He wants to talk to her now. Where the heck is she? Alan feels overwhelmed by the betrayal and sits down in his chair. Hes dejected and furious at the same time. He looks at a picture of himself and Beth when she was pregnant. Alan thinks about what Olivia said.


Olivia and Natalia continue to talk. Natalia hands Olivia her meds and some water. It went fine with Alan. There are a lot more people out there that will wonder about them. Natalia is wigged out by the concept. Olivia starts to question after she leaves what they are all seeing.

Buzz arrives outside Company to find a giddy Coop. Coop says again that Beth is going to break it off. Buzz heard Coop the first time. Coop knows what Buzz is thinking. Its all going to work out this time. He would love to see what happens when she tells Alan. Karma is a wonderful thing. Its going to come back and bite Alan in the butt. All is working out for Coop this time. Coop leaves. Buzz is worried about his son.

Alan is in the mansion shaken and stunned by Beths betrayal. He looks at more pictures of Beth and his family. Hes even more ticked off. He can barely make it back to his chair. He sits down and looks at the letter opener. Just then Beth enters and looks at him. Alan picks up the letter opener.

Cyrus arrives at Spaulding Lewis. He got Lizzies message. Lizzie is all business like. She needs to hire him again. They need to focus on her family especially her mother. Beth? Beth is involved with Coop Bradshaw. Lizzie needs Cyrus to follow Coop and get him out of town if necessary.

Bill looks at Billy at the cabin. How? He talked to Rick. Bill heard Phillip but he got bopped on the head. Phillip must be on his way to Springfield. Bill saw a picture of Philip and Lizzie. Phillip must be the one behind Lizzies kidnapping. He wanted to get Lizzie away. Why would he do that? To scare her. Bill believes that to be the truth. He has to go back to Springfield and tell Lizzie. Billy tells his son to take a drink. Bill cant. Bill heads outside and still feels woozy from being bopped on the head. Billy catches his son and takes him back inside the cabin.

Preview:

Coop all giddy with Buzz telling him that Beth is going to break it off with Alan. They will wait a bit then start dating as a real couple. Alan is livid carrying the letter opener as he looks at Beth. He was betrayed, stabbed in the back by someone. Beth questions who. Alan looks right at Beth.

Frank says that it is. He wants to talk about something more positive. Natalia questions what. Frank says they should plan their next date. Beth and Coop sit at the table.

Alan is looking out the window in New York. He loves feeling big. He loves feeling like he could just squash other people with his fingers. Cyrus starts to talk but Alan says he wants to talk to Lizzie alone. Cyrus says sorry but he works for Lizzie. Lizzie says it’s fine. She will come and get him when she is ready. Cyrus leaves. Lizzie is ticked at Alan. There is no way that he is going to tear down Company is there? It was not part of their original deal. Alan says that he gets that. He saved Company to please Beth. He didn’t want to upset her. Not like she wants the same thing. Alan looks at his granddaughter. Lizzie lies and says that it’s nothing. Alan says that sometimes you have to sacrifice things for progress like she did with Roxie and Bill earlier. She can’t look back now right.

Bill is filling his water bottle by the stream when he finally sees his bag floating away. He curses and fishes the bag out. He notices his wallet is wet and the GPS on his phone is down. Bill curses and looks around.

“ Only love….”

Natalia tells Frank at Company that she has to head off to work. He can take her or is that too old fashioned. Frank helps Natalia put on her coat. Frank laughs and says he’s the last of a dying breed. Natalia says she’s lucky to have him as part of her life. Frank knows he should be more aggressive and follow his instincts. Natalia says that is a good idea. Frank says it didn’t work out last time. He kissed her and she was repulsed. Natalia is sorry she did that. She was just surprised when he did that. It was no big deal right. A kiss should mean something. It usually does. Natalia thinks about her kiss with Olivia then kisses Frank again. She tells him to work on their next date together. Natalia walks outside and runs into Matt. How is he doing? He’s good. How is Maureen? She’s a handful right now. She’s testing him. How does she like her new place? She loves it. Its great. It’s her first real home. There is still a lot of work around the house. Matt offers to help just as Frank comes out. Natalia says thanks and leaves. Frank tells Matt to not even consider going there with Natalia.

Olivia is shocked that Christina thought that they were a couple. What is the big deal? They live together. Why does she think they are a couple? Olivia is curious. Christina says she suspected something the first day they started to work together. The way they act around each other. They act like a couple. The argue and know so much about each other. Christina stops talking. Remy says she talks too much. Olivia says that they are just new friends. They actually hated each others guts for a long time. It’s just an arrangement to help out while Natalia’s son Rafe is in prison. Natalia is actually quite happy dating Frank. Christina seems surprised by the news. Olivia says that Frank and Natalia make a great couple. Christina looks at Olivia questioning who she is trying to convince. She tells Olivia to lie down. She has nine leg lifts left. Olivia is not sure what to make of the conversation.

On the streets in New York, Cyrus is buying a pair of pretzels from a vendor. Two of them? One for a girl. He loves her. Cyrus says the loves that she’s rich and powerful. It’s the parts he loves most about her.

Alan reminds Lizzie in the hotel room that they have to squash the past and not let it interfere with the present. Lizzie says they don’t need to cause any necessary trouble for themselves. This plan is flawed. Alan disagrees saying that Phillip may not have been right mentally but he had some great business ideas and plans for Springfield. Lizzie says she needs more time to think about what they should do with Company. Alan says time is of the essence. Lizzie says she can do this. Alan is proud of her. Lizzie leaves the room.

Beth and Coop are still in Company when Coop gets a phone call from the publisher. Coop is sorry that he hasn’t talked to her in a long time. He knows he needs to send in a new work. He already did. Blake sent in a manuscript for him. Coop thanks the publisher for the praise. Beth questions what is happening. Coop ends his phone call. Coop says that he wrote a novel. He just never planned on having it published. Blake sent it in for him. He had no clue she had done that. He’s not sure how she got her hands on a copy. Beth questions what the topic is. It isn’t about them? Coop blushes and says that it’s about a young writer and his muse who is an older woman. Beth freaks at the news.

Lizzie is walking down the street in New York. She sees Cyrus with a pair of pretzels. She loves them as well. Is one of them for her? She did tell him that she loved them. He made sure that there is not too much salt on it for her. Lizzie thanks Cyrus and takes her pretzel. Cyrus suggests finding a seat to eat. Lizzie says she’s going back to Springfield. She needs to think away from Alan. So she hasn’t made up her mind about Company yet? No, she may go have a burger. So if the burger is uncooked then what she flattens the place? Lizzie tells Cyrus he’s a criminal not a business man. Is there a difference? Business people are ethical. They have to make huge decisions before doing something. Alan is really ethical. He can’t wait to squash others with his fingers. Lizzie doesn’t want to argue with Cyrus. She understands that Company is important. People need something to believe in these days. On the other hand there are other places just like it so what would be the difference. Lizzie is not sure what to do. Cyrus touches Lizzie shoulder. They will figure it out. It will be o.k. Whatever happens they will figure it out. She can do this. He knows that much about her.


At the farmhouse, Natalia returns home and finds Olivia looking at the presentation. How did the PT go? It went fine. Christina just left. Frank was great. They had a wonderful time. He makes her happy. He wants to do that. She likes how they are together. Olivia say that they are so different. Natalia is just careful whereas Olivia would jump right in. Careful is better just to make sure that neither of them get hurt. Sometimes you just have to go for it if you want it. Don’t worry about what could go wrong. Natalia questions if that is why she kissed Frank impulsively today. Olivia is wigged out by the news. So they kissed just like them. Olivia and Natalia’s kiss meant nothing right? It didn’t count between them. Sometimes you just have to make up your mind about something and just go for it. You can not be afraid. As Olivia is seeing this, Alan is stunned reading Emma’s presentation.

Beth and Coop are at the convenience store. Coop never planned on having the story published. He had to write it because it just flowed out of him. How the heck did Blake get it? Coop says that he tossed it out in the recycle bin. Blake must have fished it out of there. Coop says it’s nothing. Beth says that it’s a disaster. They can’t hide what is happening. What happens when to her kids when people find out? Coop is confused. Beth said they were not going to hide their romance. She doesn’t want to but she has to think about her kids. Can he stop it from getting published? He can try if it means that much to her. It does. Coop agrees to have the story squashed.


Cyrus and Lizzie arrive outside of Company. This is as far as he goes. What exactly does he want out of this business relationship? Anything she wants. Cyrus charms Lizzie and kisses her hand. Lizzie says that he must have been good in his other work. Cyrus says that she knows where to find him if she wants. Cyrus leaves. Lizzie heads inside.

Bill meanwhile is still walking in the woods. He imagines seeing Lizzie looking at him. He says she looks amazing. He looks like crap. What happened to him? He fell into a river. Why is he even there in the woods? Bill say she knows why. He’s going to find Phillip so he can help her. Has he lost his mind? He’s not going to find anything here. Bill says they can find a way to be together. Lizzie says that he knows that is not going to happen. Why is he hoping so much? He’s the one having the hallucination it the middle of the woods. That may be his bigger problem. When he read her diary again, he ended it between them. He lost her then. Finding Phillip is not going to make a difference. He mind as well give up. Lizzie disappears.

Buzz looks at Lizzie at Company. Is the burger to rare for her? Lizzie thinks of her conversation with Cyrus. It’s exactly what she is looking for.

Bill is still running around in the woods looking for the cabin. He attempts to climb a set of rocks but slides down. He tries again and finally makes it to the top.

Lizzie looks at Buzz. Is Lizzie o.k.? She knows about Beth and Coop. Buzz is not going to tell Alan. Lizzie isn’t either though her grandfather deserves better. Doesn’t Buzz want more than Company? He can retire and give more to Lillian. Buzz says that he likes working at Company. It’s a part of his life. It’s a part of who he is. It feels right. You are what you have to be. This is his place.

Beth reads the manuscript up in Coop’s room. Coop says he always tells his students to write about stuff that they know. He wanted to write something real. Beth says this is not real. It’s a fairytale. They can’t happen. Why was she deluding herself? Beth leaves with the manuscript to trash it.

At the farmhouse the phone rings. It’s Alan. Emma sent him the presentation that she did for her family. It’s entitled My Two Mommies which has Alan worried. Olivia says that the presentation is innocent. They are not a family that way. How did it go at school? It went well. Everyone loved it. The teacher got the wrong idea but no big deal. Alan says he hopes that along with everything that he doesn’t have to start worrying about the environment that his granddaughter is living in. She does not have two mothers. Phillip is her father. Alan will be back in Springfield soon then they are going to discuss this before it snowballs. Olivia walks into her bedroom and freaks out. It was just a little kid’s project. Alan doesn’t see it that way. Talk to him. Olivia says no one can talk to Alan when he is like this. This is trouble. He could try and take Emma away from Olivia. She’s been there before and it was hard. She’s not up to it physically right now to take on Alan. Natalia says then move out. Olivia looks at her. Why? Then there is no question. Olivia says hell no. What is wrong with Natalia? Has she listened to nothing that Olivia said before. Natalia is worried about Olivia’s health. Stop the fight before it happens. Olivia says sometime you have to fight.

Frank says thanks to Matt for his help with the repairs. The walk past the window and Matt sees Beth. Frank says not to go in there. First Natalia now Beth who else? Beth is freaking out when the heck is the publisher going to call. Beth is sorry he’s going to lose his book. Coop wants to know if what he wrote is true. Does she care for him? Beth says she can’t do this. She thought she was strong enough. Coop says she is strong enough to do anything. They can’t hide their affair out in public like this while Alan is gone. Do they not realize that all heck is going to break loose when Alan finds out? Beth can’t do this.


In the gazebo, Lizzie pulls out her phone and calls Alan. Where is he? On the plane back to Springfield. Is something wrong? She just wanted to let him know that she’s not going to let him tear down Company. She’s not going soft. She doesn’t care about the Cooper clan. Then what is it? Everyone needs something to hang on and believe in. Phillip became obsessed with business and it took over his life. She can’t let that happen to herself. As Lizzie is talking to Alan, Bill finally comes upon the cabin where Phillip is.

Bill walks up the cabin. The door is open but nobody is there.

Lizzie is waiting in her bedroom. Cyrus arrives. He got her call. Lizzie has made a decision. She’s not going to let others control her decisions it only brings trouble. What happened? Lizzie does have a heart. She just has to learn how to control it. Cyrus smiles and says that it a good plan. Lizzie says she is in charge of her life. What does she want to do first? Lizzie smirks and looks at Cyrus. She leans in and passionately kisses Cyrus. She wants him now. Cyrus smirks and passionately kisses Lizzie back.

Olivia is downstairs in the farmhouse. She can’t do laundry alone. It takes her forever. Natalia has it done in half hour. What does Olivia want? She wants to fight. She doesn’t want to be afraid to fight Alan. Their life together is worth fighting for. She and Emma finally have a real home and damn if she is going to let Alan or anyone take it away. Olivia is going to fight tooth and nail for their family and life together. Olivia sits. Natalia suggests some dinner. Emma would love that.

Frank and Matt are talking at the convenience store. Frank really likes Natalia. She is amazing person. Frank says that for the first time in a long time he could see himself having a life with her. Wow a future. That is serious. So Beth and Coop? Matt knows what it is like to love an older woman. Love is what it is.


Beth and Coop are arguing at Company. What is going on? Coop says he can get rid of the book and erase it but he’s not giving up Beth. She has no clue what to say. Can she really say what they have had the last couple of days is not real? Beth says she can do this. Beth has no choice. Beth always has a choice. Beth and Coop start kissing passionately. Alan arrives outside of Company to talk to Buzz. He finds the door locked. He walks over to the window and sees Beth passionately making love to someone. Alan is furious.

Preview -

Bill is at the cabin and he sees a note written by Phillip. Beth and Coop are in bed after making love. Beth says she can never go back to Alan. Bill walks out and calls Phillip’s name.

Dayna's In-depth Recap and Charleyfan's Clips: Episode 15597, January 26, 2009

In a hotel room in New York, Alan is happy to see that Lizzie arrived. She wishes he would have recommended the jet instead of commercial air. She had to deal with this annoying person the whole way. Alan questions where Roxie is. Lizzie says she gave Roxie away. She cant have her around while dealing with the business. Alan is impressed. He says that Spaulding will come into dominance again under their leadership. Just then a knock at the door. Alan assumes its the bellman. Its Cyrus instead with Lizzies stuff. He has the briefcase. Lizzie tells him to be careful with it. Cyrus questions what it is. Lizzie says its a model of Springfield. Alan says they will own all of it eventually. Lizzie bends down and looks at the model. Its such a beautiful sight. Alan smirks. Cyrus isnt sure what to make of it.

Bill is in his room at the Beacon when there is a knock on the door. Its Billy. Billy asks where his son is going. Bill says he could lie and say hes going on vacation but actually hes going to find Phillip. Bill got a tip and hes going to check it out. Billy questions if his son has thought it through enough. Bill says he has to do something to save Lizzie from becoming Alans mini me. He really thinks that Phillip can help. Bill is desperate so hes willing to try it. Billy warns Bill that Phillip is a nut job. Hes dangerous. Bill says that Phillip is the best shot at saving Lizzie from Alan.

Billy and Bill are outside by Bills SUV. Billy can get some stuff as well. Bill says thanks but he has to do this himself. Billy says that Bill cant face Phillip alone. He needs backup. Bill has a lot to make up for. Hes still not sure if he was the one that kidnapped Lizzie. If he was.Billy questions if this is penance then. Bill says no. Billy says it also sounds like a fools errand. Bill will know what to do when he gets there. If he leaves now, he can be there by sunset. Bill says he has to step up to earn the right to have Lizzie back in his life.

In New York, Alan explains to Lizzie that he has a bunch of investors handpicked ripe for the plucking. They are all interested in Springfield? Lizzie seems sceptical. Cyrus questions how the investors still have money after the stock market crash? Cyrus is just curious. Lizzie says that is a valid point. Cyrus says they have to be cautious. If dealing with the wrong crowd of dogs, they can turn on you. You can not make the wrong move. Lizzie says the analogy needs work but Cyrus is right. Alan says hes going out for a walk. They can have dinner. Lizzie stops Alan. Alan questions why Lizzie is listening to Cyrus. Its not as if hes a financial wizard. Hes just a private eye. Lizzie agrees but he does know stuff. They better make sure that the investors have solid financials. Alan says hes going to take a walk. After Alan leaves, Cyrus questions if Lizzie is feeling alright. Lizzie says never better. Why is he asking? Is she having second thoughts about this whole business family tap dance idea? Lizzie says that people see her as a young girl that needs to be saved. She wants to be there. She wants to play with the big boys. She suggests they go spend some of those Spaulding bucks. Cyrus and Lizzie leave.


In New York, Cyrus and Lizzie are walking along the streets. Cyrus is carrying many small bags. Hes impressed. Lizzie is quite the power shopper. Lizzie can always spot a terrific pair of shoes. Its impossible to find a good pair of shoes in her size. Cyrus agrees but Lizzie has killer shopping skills. Lizzie stops and looks at Cyrus. She warns him after the mess with Bill, she will never mix business and pleasure again. She doesnt want a lecture from Cyrus. After all he married Alexandra for his pay cheque. Lizzie is only going to focus on business from now on. Lizzie leaves and Cyrus questions what just happened.

Bill says he has everything he needs to find Phillip including his trusty GPS. He will call Billy when he gets there. Hell be there by sunset. Bill leaves. Billy is visibly worried.

A bit later Bill arrives in a spot in the woods. He pulls out a heavy jacket, backpack and his GPS. He heads off looking for the cabin.

Lizzie is in her hotel room in New York when she spots a pink puffball. It was one of Roxies play toys. Lizzie smile then resolves to be stronger. Just then there is knock at the door. Its room service. Well actually its Cyrus with some dirt on one of the investors. An investor is living just down the hall. He left so Cyrus helped himself into the room. Cyrus wanted to pop in and see if his room was bigger. Lizzie says guys are like that. Cyrus smirks. Cyrus takes off his jacket and puts it on the couch. He looks over at Lizzie who is holding the file. Cyrus accidentally found some very private notes that hes pretty sure the investor does not want anyone else to see. Its really good ready. Lizzie blushes and laughs as she reads the report. He would definitely not want this to be public. He would definitely want to keep this hidden. Lizzie thanks Cyrus for being there.

Cyrus and Lizzie are still in the hotel room. Lizzie is reading the paperwork as Cyrus looks at her. What? He was wondering what it was like to live with all this money? She has a bathroom bigger than the house he lived in. It must be nice to have money. Lizzie says that the craziness comes along with the money. Also the pressure of doing good for the people who came before and will come ahead of her. Cyrus says that is a lot of pressure. Lizzie says the trick is not to fight destiny like she was before. She has embrace her fate and become Elizabeth Spaulding. She has to also take the profit that comes with it. Just then Alan peeks his head in. Are they ready for the meeting? Lizzie was born ready. Alan smiles. Cyrus helps Lizzie get her coat on.


Alan, Lizzie and Cyrus arrive at the investor meeting. Alan laughs and says if Lizzie is bringing Cyrus everywhere, why not just keep Roxie instead. Lizzie says that Alan will begin the meeting and then Lizzie will take over. Lizzie takes her seat. Cyrus hands out the paperwork from the meeting. He sits across and looks at Lizzie. The investors arrive. The one that arrives and charms Lizzie is the one that Cyrus got the dirt on. Alan welcomes everyone. Alan says that Springfield is for their taking. It will become a powerhouse in the Midwest. Lizzie passes the prices they are thinking about for the investors. The one investor says they are awfully steep and not realistic. Lizzie says hes used to paying high prices for stuff he cant get at home right. The investor blanches at the news. Cyrus looks at Lizzie as she smiles at him.

Dinah is pleading with Shayne not jump off the roof. She tells him to think of all the people at the memorial that love him. Shayne laughs. They love who he was the all American perfect son. Hes not that person anymore. He lost that person when Lara died. Does he really want this? Shayne has nothing left. He cant imagine going on and every day the memory of Lara disappearing. Dinah says that if he jumps then who will be there to remember and tell of Lara. Shayne cant have just the fading memory. Shaynes family is better off without him. Shayne says he saw the sonogram of his baby brother and it made him sick inside. What type of person is sick as the sight of a baby? Dinah says the feelings will come back. Shayne tells Dinah to leave. Dinah cant do that. Dinah steps over the edge. Shayne pleads with her not to do that. Dinah tells Shayne if hes going then hes taking her with him. They can both jump.

Reva, Josh and Jeffrey are shocked to see Edmund in the chapel. Jeffrey says that Edmund should still be in that hospital bed. Josh questions if Edmund is there to mock Shaynes pain. Edmund says he has every right to be there. Lara was his daughter. Reva says that is an awful big coincidence that his daughter and her son were together. Edmund says it was fate. Their lives are intertwined again. Edmund doesnt want to cause trouble for Shayne. He walks to talk to him about Lara. He knows that they are all sceptical about the fact that Lara was his daughter. Edmund understands that. Reva questions how such a beautiful pure soul who was the love of Shaynes life can come from such a vile person like Edmund. Edmund explains that he only knew his daughter for a few weeks. It was the best moments of his life. She was the best of him.

In the chapel, Edmund tells the story of Lara. Jeffrey says it better bloody well be good because they are going to triple check it. Edmund says he was going in and out of consciousness in the hospital when he saw the face of a young woman. She seemed vaguely familiar and reminded Edmund of girl he loved in his youth. He had a short but very deep romance with a woman named Rachel. Lara was Rachel and Edmunds daughter. Lara gave him a reason to live day after day. He couldnt believe that he had such a beautiful daughter. The fact that she would risk her life to save others. Can you imagine a person like that? Edmund looks at Josh and Reva. A decent girl like Lara coming from a man like Edmund. Its some type of cosmic joke. Lara was there week after week with him. She was the best part of him. Jeffrey asks how Edmund ended up in Springfield again? Laras last phone call was about her engagement to Shayne Lewis. She was so happy. It was also the same day ironically that Lara was killed. Edmund cant believe that beautiful light was extinguished. Reva says this is all fine and dandy but does he have proof that he is Laras father? Edmund had the same question. Was this girl just after his money? Edmund had a DNA test done. Jeffrey says that was a pretty good story. Josh seems to believe it. Edmund says that meeting his daughter changed him. Jeffrey says that is hogwash. Jeffrey says story time is over. Jeffrey takes Edmund away. Reva is not sure what to make of what just happened.

On the roof, Shayne tells Dinah to just walk away. Just go. Dinah says shes crazy to try and convince him to stay. Hes got plenty of reasons to live whereas Dinah. Shes got nothing. Dinah says that it should be ladies first right or they can do this together. Shayne says that Dinah is a beautiful woman. Shes got plenty of reasons to live. Shes got everything worth living for. Shayne says that Dinah is the most alive person that he knows. Shes the reason that he came home. Dinah goes to move but Shayne pulls her back a bit too hard and she hits her head. How is she? Hell just have to stick around and find out. Shayne hugs Dinah.


Shayne and Dinah are now at Cedars. She should really have that bump on her head checked out. Shell be in good shape. She may have a bit of a headache though. Shes in good hands. Dinah says he can go. She doesnt need a hero. She says its kind of nice knowing that there is someone in town more screwed up than she is. She needs him to stick around. Shayne says she loves having her around but dont try and stop him from doing it again. Dinah says sorry because she will stop him each time. Dinah says she knows what tough days are like. Last year she was in the hospital after being shot in the head. She was not always as bright as she is now. She knows what its like to go from smart to having to learn everything again. It was frustrating having no memory. She couldnt even remember how to open a door. She knows that hes afraid that he will lose the memory of Lara. Dinah lost her whole life. She never thought about jumping off a roof because of it though. Shayne questions why. She was messed up granted but she was not a coward. Suicide is the cowards way out. It is not heroic. She says that she knows that Shayne is not a coward either. Just then Shaynes phone rings. Dinah takes it and puts it on speaker. Josh asks if Shayne is there. Dinah says that they both are. Josh says good because this concerns Dinah as well. After they left the memorial, Laras father showed up. Shayne is shocked. What did he want? He wanted to share in Shaynes grief. Josh says the shocking thing is that the man was Edmund Winslow. He claims to be Laras father. Dinah and Shayne are shocked. Dinah says they will be over to Company right away.

Jeffrey and Edmund sit in a restaurant. Jeffrey says that there will be men showing up to accompany Edmund to the airport. Edmund better bloody well get on that plane. Jeffrey will make sure that he does. Edmund questions what it was like for Jeffrey when he found out that Ava was his daughter. Edmund says its ironic that they are both fathers now. Jeffrey says there is no comparison. Edmund is s weasel who made everyones lives hell. Edmund admits he was but when he saw Lara he wanted to be a better man. Jeffrey says he cant trust anything that Edmund is saying. Edmund understands that. Edmund says congratulations to Jeffrey about Revas pregnancy. He wonders if they are having a boy or girl. Jeffrey warns Edmund to stay away from his wife and child. Edmund says that so many people loved his daughter. What if it was Ava? Edmund just wants to keep the memory of his daughter alive. Edmund has found religion? Jeffrey is not buying that one. Edmund will keep coming back to Springfield. He will never let go because Shayne is his only link to Lara.

Shayne and Dinah arrive outside of Company. Shayne is nervous about meeting Laras father. Dinah should really see the doc. Shayne lightly touches Dinahs face with his hand. Dinah is fine. Dinah and Shayne head inside and see Josh and Reva. Is this a joke that Edmund is Laras father? Josh say the story was very convincing. There was even a DNA test. Dinah doesnt believe it. Edmund has an angle. Reva questions what. Shes sorry she really wanted the memorial to help Shayne. She thanks Shayne for his beautiful speech. Shayne looks at Dinah. Where is Edmund? Jeffrey is getting him out of town. Just then Edmund rushes in and hugs Shayne.


Shayne pushes Edmund away at Company. Edmund is sorry but Shayne would have been his son in law. Edmund is not going to be a threat he promises. He lost his daughter. He was thinking they could help each other through their grief. Reva asks Jeffrey why Edmund is back. Jeffrey understands because of Ava. Reva gets that. There is a change in Edmund. He just wants to grieve the loss of his daughter. If he can do that then he will leave. Jeffrey will make sure that Edmund never comes close to Reva or the baby. Reva knows. Shayne says there is no way that Edmund can be Laras father. Does he know the personal stuff like the color of her eyes? Her middle name? Anything personal. Shayne just wants one thing. Edmund says that his daughter had blue eyes. Rachel never gave Lara a middle name. When Lara was young, she had a best friend. Lara used that name as a nickname. How is that? Shayne is stunned. She never mentioned him. He cant believe that a man like Edmund has such a beautiful daughter. Reva questions if Lara was such a forgiving woman? Edmund and Shayne says she was. Edmund just has questions that only Shayne can answer. Shayne says that Edmund cant help him with his grief. Edmund says they both loved Lara. Edmund just wants to understand how his daughter died. Was she alone? Was Shayne with her? What happened? Shayne bristles.Reva tells Edmund to back off. Shayne doesnt have to talk until hes ready to. Edmund has to leave now. Edmund thanks everyone for the memorial. When Shayne is ready, Edmund would love to talk to him about Lara. Edmund leaves. Shayne is unsure of what to do.

Shayne looks inside Company from one of the windows. Dinah questions if he is heading back to the roof. Shayne says there is no need to worry about that now. He has to stay and protect his family now that Edmund is back. Edmund can never find out that Lara was killed because of Shayne. Dinah warns Shayne it was not his fault. He can never say those words around Edmund. Edmund left her to die in a fire years ago. Shayne does not want to piss Edmund off. Shayne looks at his family that he has to protect now.
