One BIG GMLP to your Thorny. It's so nice of you to
take the time to recap from your office.

I'm really very upset and sad Josh it leaving.

Everything I have been feeling about losing the show just came pouring out at the ending of today's show. Heaving sobs, scared my kid, everything. I am heartbroken. All of it was great, even the sad part, just great writing. I loved it, but I am really heavy hearted now. Wow.

--------------------
Thornbirds Posted: Sep 15 2009, 10:20 AM

Oh, yeah..I am a Y&R fan...but, um....really what was the point of having Jeanne Cooper and Christian LeBlanc there today? As different (random?) characters, none the less. Did CBS/P&G PAY them for a pointless cameo...when..say...ED should have been there to have words with Lillian, for example.

Sorry.

--------------------
rmw Posted: Sep 15 2009, 10:35 AM

I agree Thorny, it was a waste having Jeanne and Christian guest spot.

--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Sep 15 2009, 10:38 AM

Thorny.... thank you so much! I am so looking forward to today's show! Shawnee...wow, that was some reaction! Better have the Kleenex ready today, sounds like a real tearjerker!!

--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Sep 15 2009, 10:39 AM

Thanks so much Thorny.

I was really upset that I read that spoiler yesterday.
It was leaked out on another board.

It will be late tonight before I can watch it.

I do believe that Jeanne C and Michael L. just did this with no pay . From what I read they just wanted to pay respect to GL. And I didn't even noticed them the first time I watched.

--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Sep 15 2009, 10:44 AM

Haven't seen the spoiler for today's show yet. Could be a good thing. I want to be surprised when I watch today!!

--------------------
Shawnee Posted: Sep 15 2009, 10:45 AM

I have avoided spoilers like the plague! I found out about Buzz and Lillian from TS of all people! I have hidden Facebook feeds and Tweets from anything GL related. If I had known about today, I don't think it would have hit as hard but even if the show wasn't ending, that was rough.

Steph, my reaction was a little over the top, but I have had a lot of loss this year, it's really mostly me. It will get you, but don't worry too much!

I thought it was nice of JC and CL to want to pay respect, especially JC who is a soap dinosaur (in a good way). But I agree, precious moments could have been spent on pertinent characters. Nice of Josh to mention Marah by he way, geez!

--------------------
MinnieBannister Posted: Sep 15 2009, 11:08 AM

Thanks Thorny. I'm looking forward to and dreading going home to watch it later. I swear Ron deserves an Emmy this year. He has really done a great job, especially these last several weeks. If there is any justice he'll finally get one. I pretty much figured by what was said at the camping trip how this was going to end, but it's still heartbreaking nonetheless.

------------------
Thornbirds Posted: Sep 15 2009, 02:22 PM

Still sad with goose bumps..as I just thought of the scene Reva shared today with Alan....just makes ya think! She actually kissed him (goodbye?!) It was fitting...and I loved Alan's apology to little Sarah, too.

--------------------
Shawnee Posted: Sep 15 2009, 02:51 PM

thorny, thinking back there have been so many little goodbyes, I just didn't see them. Today when Buzz said "you did it" and he said "yeah, I did it". That was foreshadowing for sure. I am anxious about how the next three days are going to go, I don't want it to end on such a sad note.

All in all, this has been a really beautiful story of redemption.

--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Sep 15 2009, 02:55 PM

NOOO!!!!!

--------------------
bellerose Posted: Sep 15 2009, 03:21 PM

I was happy to see that Philip and Beth getting engage and then him going to his father. Then when he touch Alan shoulder and then when he said daddy you could feel his panic in his voice and then realizing that Alan was gone and he broke down, brake my heart. I'm going to miss this show so much. That scene was so powerful. I love everything about today episode. It just sad that it all coming to an end.

---------------------
stephw27 Posted: Sep 15 2009, 03:27 PM

It was nice to see the Phillip and Beth engagement! When Phillip walked up to Alan, I thought he was reflecting on things and then when he didn't move or respond, I started to cry. So sad!!

--------------------
MinnieBannister Posted: Sep 15 2009, 03:35 PM

QUOTE
as I just thought of the scene Reva shared today with Alan....just makes ya think!

I'm glad they got a nice little scene together. They've been through so much together over the years. I always liked that no matter how much they hated each other there was still a fondness there for each other, too.

I'm glad these last few weeks we got to see the loving Alan that I always knew was there under the surface. The one that was so afraid to give his whole heart, after having it broken so many times, even if it was broken by himself. A big kudos to Ron Raines who always let that Alan shine subtley shine through even when he was having some of his not so shining moments.

I thought the scene with Grant at the was really well done. Grant did a fantastic job in it. Part of me, I must confess, was glad Alan wasn't alive to hear Phillip say he wanted Beth, given how much Alan loved her himself. I bawled my eyes out at the end, I must say. Alan has been my favorite character on the show since he came on in 1977. That was a hard goodbye, but I'm glad it was peaceful, dignified and classy.

I was sad, too, that Alan didn't get any alone scenes with Beth or Peyton these last several episodes. But I was glad he did get to see Sarah, at least.

----------------------
stephw27 Posted: Sep 15 2009, 03:47 PM

Minnie, I just couldn't imagine how Alan would have reacted to the news that Phillip proposed to Beth.

--------------------
MinnieBannister Posted: Sep 15 2009, 03:54 PM

I thought that was a little insensitive of Phillip, actually. But the "new" Alan probably would have been ok with it because he wanted to see his son happy.

--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Sep 15 2009, 04:00 PM

I guess that Alan's talk with Phillip really got to Phillip with him proposing to Beth and all. He was pretty excited. I think Alan probably would have been okay with it, but, still would have to be hard for him nonetheless!

Still in shock about Alan!

--------------------
bellerose Posted: Sep 15 2009, 04:31 PM

Tomorrow going to be hard, everyone learning about Alan death. Lizzie was right when she was talking Bill about the other shoe droping.

--------------------
intothelight Posted: Sep 15 2009, 05:29 PM

This whole show was so good and so very sad. Even the happy stuff was sad and you could hear it in the actors voices. I was tearing up through the whole thing and sobbing like a fool at the end. I loved Alan. While going out finally happy and redeamed was classy, it was sad because I've watched him since he came on and he was so very rarely happy in his life. Everyone knocked it out of the park, but my god, RR and GA tore my heart out

---------------------
Shawnee Posted: Sep 15 2009, 05:33 PM

Can you imagine how difficult it had to be for RR to sit there "dead" while Grant sobbed in his lap? I bet there wasn't a dry eye around.

Oh, yeah. same here. Tore it out and stomped on it.

I know I can't imagine. Playing dead in a movie is hard enough (believe it or not I did it once) but to have that going on plus all the emotion of the show dying as well. Mercy sakes. God bless them both.

sosquare Posted: Sep 15 2009, 10:13 PM

Some of the best goodbyes this week are the subtle ones--blown kisses, quick winks, and a few cracked voices.

But I couldn't let go of the two main themes/words throughout today's show. Alan repeated that "that's what parents do for their children" and Josh repeated that he was moving away for a long time.

Alan has always said that everything he does or has done is for his children and family. But his actions have generally done anything but draw his children closer to him. Today we saw what this parent did for his child. I think this was a very poignant ending for such an impressive character. I wonder how this may help James and Phillip get closer.

Josh, no longer feeling needed to help everyone in Springfield, slowly and surely says goodbye to family and friends. Reva choking up when he told her he was leaving was touching. I am taking it as a sign that Springfield will be needing some guidance in the future. With the moral compass gone, there will be plenty of trials and tribulations to sort out should the stories someday continue elsewhere. Kind of scary thinking Josh is the moral compass, isn't it?

soapunk Posted: Sep 15 2009, 10:45 PM

WOW! That is one of the 1st shocking moments I have seen on a soap since the internet ruined the element of surprise years ago. Truly soapy moment!

--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Sep 15 2009, 11:09 PM

One of the absolute best and most heartbreaking episodes .
I could hardly even watch a scene with Alan without choking up.
And when Phillip started around that bench that was it.
I can't believe they did this to Alan.
And GA broke my heart in a million pieces.

I loved the whole show but just don't have words right now. That last few seconds totally did me in.

--------------------
cihanl Posted: Sep 16 2009, 11:16 AM

an amazing, amazing show. And although I hate to see anyone die, really, I thought it was a fitting time for Alan to die. Everyone was proud of him; everyone was impressed by what he had done for his son (Daisy summed it up perfectly when talking to James, I thought); everyone felt he'd been a hero...but at the same time, everyone wondered if this time he really was going to change, and I know Alan knew that, because he's said it so many times in the past and then something happened and he reverted to type.
So for me, it was a fitting tribute to what he has always WANTED to be that he got to go out on this note, and always be remembered for this pure, unselfish, loving act. He gets to be the hero he always wished he could be, and got to die with the knowledge that he could finally be truly proud of himself, and with a heart full of love and hope - something that must have been a rare gift to him.

Anyway - that's how I got through it - because it truly was a heartbreaking episode, and today will be even more so I think.

Wonderful show today.

I finally got to watch yesterday's show.

I am overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by this amazing show we all love and our beautiful actors who deliver time and time again. What a wonderful, heartbreaking show that combines all of the best and worst parts of life: the happiness of Buzz and Lillian, and Billy and Vanessa, with the death of Alan, who ended up, if not redeemed, then maybe understood.

I think RR and GA both did a tremendous job in their scenes. They both seemed overcome, for different reasons, Phillip with realizing what life really had to offer, and Alan actually humbly accepting gratitude and congratulations that he actually did right by his son. It was all so beautiful.

I know it's not over yet, and I won't be able to watch Friday's show live due to work, but I feel truly privileged to have been a fan for 20 years, to have seen some of the greatest moments on this show, to have cherished these characters and respected daytime drama as a medium for telling thoughtful and beautiful stories. I know you all share my sentiment, many having watched far more years than I have. But I am just truly overwhelmed by the beauty and heartbreak of yesterday's show.

Jane's Recap: Episode 15757, Monday, September 14, 2009

2009-09-14T18:12:00.000-07:00

Reva is visiting with Jon when Vanessa calls to make sure Reva gets the Lewis men there clean and on-time.

Reva tells Jon he needs to go to the wedding. Jon says he likes it at Cross Creek, it’s rustic, “There’s things on the wall for snow walking, and Sarah and I want to do that,” making Reva laugh her trademark laugh. Reva tells him he has to convince Sarah that this is her home, not just another pit stop. Jon startles Reva as she leaves, then says “Thank you.” Jon calls Mel, says he needs her help.

James stops by Company to talk to Daisy. He asks her to go to the wedding with him as a date. Going together. She says her dad will be there. He can handle it.

Buzz and Lillian kiss while Blake looks on.

She then goes to the computer and types to her chat buddy (Frankie). Frank is at Marina’s typing to his chat buddy, Blake.

He asks her to go to this thing with him today (the wedding). She says she has plans (the wedding). Frank says it figures and shuts the lid on the laptop.

Phillip tells Beth she looks beautiful, and she does! Emma comes in with Nat and Olivia and runs into Phillips arms.

They are all excited to see Phillip looking so good. They head off to the wedding. Beth says that Olivia and Natalia see close. Phillip says yes, they are very close.

Ed thinks Alan will be able to go home this evening as long as he takes it very easy.

No board meetings, no cigars, lots of rest and relaxation. Alan says it is the best gift he has ever been given. Alex says she believes him. Ed believes him too. He tells Alan “You did a fine thing. You saved your son.” Alan replies, “I think he saved me.”

Lizzie walks in as Vanessa finishes dressing. Mindy and Maureen are helping Vanessa.

Maureen tells Vanessa that she looks beautiful, and she does! Vanessa says it is all Mindy’s doing. She designed the dress and made it. They pass around champagne. Lizzie brings out a garish blue garter. Vanessa tries to get out of it until Lizzie cracks up saying they are kidding. Vanessa, says No.

The Lewis boys are fishing by a stream. Reva comes to heckle and get them out of the water. She brought food. Billy says they have to go fishing and what you catch is what you have for breakfast. Reva says he has to eat something. They will starve; there are no fish in this stream. It’s not Tulsa! Just then Billy catches something.

Only love can save the world, only love . . .

James comes in the room where Phillip and Beth are waiting.

Phillip straightens James’s tie. James says they didn’t have to wait; he has a date, with Daisy. Phillip and Beth both smile. James leaves. They leave arm in arm.

Emma, Olivia, and Natalia stop by to see Rafe to see if he wants to go to the wedding.

He says he can’t because he’s getting ready to leave for the Army. Natalia says it’s fine, no pressure. Emma wants them to go as a family together. Rafe explains that he has plans to go with a friend. Emma asks if it is his girlfriend. He says no, she’s a girl and she’s a friend, that’s it. He asks her to dance with him at the wedding. She says sure. Natalia hugs him.

Rafe says one step at a time. Nat tells him she loves him and they turn to leave. Olivia looks back at him. He meets her gaze.

At Marina’s Daisy tells Uncle Frank and Cousin Marina that she is not going with them.

She has a date. With who, Frank asks. Just then James walks in. He hands her a daisy, which she puts behind her ear.

Frank tries to give her a hard time, but it doesn’t work. Daisy leaves with James.

Blake is helping Lillian with something when Bridget Reardon walks in! Nola walks in right behind her!

Long time no see in Springfield! Bridget looks around and says the place looks good. Buzz and Lillian see them and exclaim! They ask about Peter, who is starting at Springfield U this year. This whole Vanessa thing brought them her, Nola explains. They leave with Buzz and company, but both stop to look around the joint wistfully before following.

The wedding party waits at the door way of the country club as the white stretch limo approaches.

Wanda runs up and opens the door.

Maureen is the first of the Bridal party to exit the limo. She is followed by Lizzie, who is Mindy, who is followed by the Bride, Vanessa!

Then a black pickup truck arrives, the music changes to hillbilly, and the Lewis boys have arrived. Billy jumps off the back of the truck, picks up Vanessa and swings her around!

Jonathan is hanging out around Alan’s hospital room when Emma, Natalia, and Olivia show up.
He slips away and looks in on them.

Emma hands Alan a picture she made to thank him for saving her dad’s life.

Alan tells them that he only did what any parent would do for their child. Olivia says he surprised her. She is impressed. Alan says he is full of surprises.

Emma tells Alan that they are going to a wedding and her whole family will be there, her dad because of Alan, and her brother Rafe. Alan says, your brother Rafe? and looks up at Nat and Liv, “So that means you two are together?”

Olivia replies, “Yes, and we’re family” as she puts her arm around Natalia. “I see, I see. Are you happy with your new family, Emma?” Emma replies that she has the best two mommies and the best dad! Alan says, you sure do! Emma says she just wanted to tell him she loves him before the wedding. He says he loves her too and gives her a big hug before sending her off to the nurse’s station for a lollipop.

Liv tells him Thank you. Alan says that Emma seems happy and that’s all that matters. Jonathan is listening to the entire exchange. As Olivia and Natalia leave for the wedding, Natalia tells Alan that Rafe will come by very soon. Alan hopes he gets a chance to talk to him before he leaves for the service.

After they leave, Alex says, that was a beautiful thing you did. Alan says them seem very happy. It is the kind of happiness he always ran away from. Alex says you and me. Alan says he is not running away from it any longer. Being in bed has taught him something. Jon is still watching Alan.

Mindy is fixing Billy’s tie.

She tells him how proud she is of him. “It has taken you a long time to get to this point.” Yeah, he says, too long. She tells him she loves him.

Phillip, Beth, Rick, Daisy, and James all meet at the country club before the wedding.

Beth and Daisy exchange compliments. Rick asks if he looks okay. Phillip says he has never looked more lovely. Rick has been waiting for weeks for Phillip to say that. The kids take off. Beth says, you scared her off. Rick says he was just kidding.

Raph, Ashley, and Emma are goofing around when Doris walks up and introduces her date.

“Jemanda Weeks, this is my daughter, Ashley and her friend Rafe.” Jemanda (I think that is how Doris pronounced her name) says it is nice to meet Ashley who replies in kind. Jemanda goes off to get a drink and Ashley gives her mom a big hug.

She is so glad Doris is finally letting her in. Doris says she wishes she had done it sooner. Ashley says it is never too late to start. Doris says, true, kisses her, and walks over to where her date is talking to Natalia and Olivia.

Lizzie and Bill are on the terrace. They agree that it is a great day, a great week.

Her dad and her grandfather are recovering and she just spent the day with her little girl. She just wonders when it is going to fall apart. Bill tells her not to think like that. And by the way, he tells her, you can handle anything. We can handle anything, she says.

Remy and Christina are also out on the terrace talking about marriage, divorce, and remarriage. Isn’t that what we do at weddings? She says they can renew their vows when they get home.

Reva walks up to Josh and Shayne, takes a swig off Shayne’s beer, then hands it back saying it smells bad.

She asks if they showered. They smell like fish. She tells them to do something about it. Billy caught a big fish, they had to clean it. She says, before you do anything else, wash your hands.

Vanessa and Billy greet Nola, Bridget and Mindy. She tells Nola she is so glad they are here.

Nola asks, really? And Vanessa says, Yes, of course. Nola says, “Well I did call ahead to make sure we weren’t wearing the same dresses.” Vanessa laughs at the memory of their big cat fight way back when. Nola says that she and Quinton (he must still be with her!) wanted to give her something.

Blake, Frank and Natalia are still searching for a baby name when Olivia shows up. Everything is almost ready. Blake and Frank look over. Natalia explains that Olivia and Emma are moving back home to the Farmhouse. Blake and Frank are happy for them. It will all turn out good. The easy part is moving in. The hard part will be telling Emma about them.

Daisy enlightens Ashlee as to what it must have looked like to Doris if she walked away. Ashlee realizes she better go see her mom. Ashlee leaves. Daisy sits by Rafe. He doesn't want to talk.

Emma sits on the bed as Natalia and Olivia look at her. They have some really good news. They are all moving back into the farmhouse together. Emma is excited. Olivia says that there is more.

She's ticked off that Doris thought she would judge her for being gay. Ashlee would never do that. She's the last person to judge. She wishes Doris hadn't been so harsh on her growing up.

Alexandra hasn't seen him yet. She wanted to see her little brother first. Alan is thankful that she was there watching out for him. Alexandra says that is what a big sister does. Alexandra kisses Alan.

Lizzie sees her dad. She knew that he would be alright. She had a good feeling about it. Is he really o.k? He's fine. Just a bit tired and sore. How are they out there? Bill is taking care of all of them. Alexandra was trying not cry. Lillian was watching out over Beth. Lizzie is not sure that Beth would have survived if something had happened to Phillip. She's glad that he's o.k. Lizzie is hopeful about her parents.

Alan says that he needs to do this. He's lacked courage all of his life until now. Let Alan do this. Phillip through tears agrees. Alan hugs his son. Can Alan have a balloon? No. Phillip is pretty ungrateful since Alan is going to save his life. It hasn't happened yet.

Part 1

Emma is working on a card for Phillip to make him feel better. Olivia asks to talk to Emma. She warns her daughter that the cookies will not cure her dad.
Natalia calls then. She wants to check on both of her girls. Emma is going to go see Phillip today. Does she have the cookies? She does. Natalia is sorry that Phillip is sick. Olivia has no clue what to do since Emma is about to lose her father. Natalia wants to help in anyway. She would do anything if she could. Olivia tells Natalia that she has her sonogram in two hours. She will be fine. Olivia and Emma have to go.

Buzz is working in Company when Ashlee shows up. She has the galley book from the publisher. Buzz laughs so this is the book that he didn't approve but it was still a great idea. Two brilliant ladies wrote it for him. Coop was the one who wrote it. Ashlee did it for Coop. She felt closer to him as she had to decipher his writing. Ashlee hugs Buzz.

Olivia and Emma see Phillip at the Spaulding mansion. Emma hopes the cookies make her dad feel better. Emma wants to take a cookie to cook. Olivia says that Emma thinks that the papers will heal Phillip. Emma doesn't believe that her dad is dying. How is Olivia going to help her daughter deal with this? She can't give her false hope. The cookies are not medicine. It's all so sad.

Alan and Edmund chat elsewhere in the house. Alan is a match for the procedure with his bone marrow. He's an 86% match to Phillip. Not great but the best so far. Alan can save his son but he must know that the risk to Alan is huge. He could lose his life while saving his son's life.

Part 2

Alan asks Ed the chances that this procedure could save his son. Ed has no clue. It looks great on paper but has never been done before. Alan says he's not doing a great pitch job. Ed doesn't want Alan to do it. Ed can't recommend it in good conscience since he is Phillip's doctor. He has to follow his patient's wishes. Phillip does not want anyone else to risk their life to save his. Ed wanted to tell Alan though that he is a match. Alan says that he has to try but he could die. If he doesn't try then Philip has no chance in living. Ed says it's a horrible choice to make.

Buzz is working when Doris walks in. Doris looks at the book about Jenna. She's an incredible woman. Coop wrote it about his mom. Doris told Ashlee that she could write a book about her. Ashlee told her she couldn't because she doesn't know zip about Doris' life. Buzz tells Doris she needs to get on that before it's too late.

Blake sees Ashlee outside of Company. Blake has some wonderful news. She wanted to see Ashlee's face when she opened the envelope. Ashlee does and it's a check for $5,000. It's an editor's fee. Blake didn't want to tell her until she was sure she could swing it. They also will get a tiny percentage of the royalties from the book. Ashlee needs to spend it wisely. Ashlee is beyond excited. Blake leaves. Ashlee's phone rings then. It's Doris who wants to have lunch. Ashlee can meet her in ten minutes.

Olivia, Emma and Phillip continue to talk. Emma leaves again. Is Phillip going to go into the hospital? He's not going to do that. He wants to die at home. He's a dead man walking. There is nothing that the hospital can do for him other than make him comfortable. Phillip makes a crass joke that Olivia can dance at his wedding again. He heard about that. He did. Olivia says it's really sad this time. Olivia and Phillip hug.

Alan tries to make choices on what to do with Phillip as he walks in the park [ Simple Machine by Kyler England ]. Alan begins to read Ed's report but drops some pieces of paper in the water.

Part 3

Buzz sees Olivia as she is sitting at the table in Company. He's trying to figure out how to get the stove to work. He doesn't have any customers. Olivia wants Buzz to tell Frank that he's a great dad. Buzz says that Frank is not so sure. He's got a new chance with the baby with Natalia. They are going to find out today if it's a boy or girl. With a mom like Natalia and a dad like Frank, the kid is set.

Natalia is nibbling on ice cream at the mini mart when Blake finds her. Natalia admits the baby likes it. The baby is kicking up a storm right now. Blake realizes that Natalia has no clue if it's a boy or girl. Natalia is going to find out. She can't afford to buy two sets of everything. Blake gets that. Natalia is pretty sure that Olivia and Emma want a girl. What does Frank want? Natalia honestly doesn't have a clue. She could tell that something was wrong the other day. Blake can see Natalia's joy but asks her not to forget about Frank. Don't push him out. He's a good man. The kid could have no better dad then Frank. Natalia knows that. She would never push Frank out.

Rafe walks over and sees Alan picking papers out of the water. Rafe hopes it's not important work. Alan says thanks. He assumes that his grandson has something to tell him. Rafe says that he enlisted in the Army. Alan says so he made the choice. He was not asked to do it. Rafe wanted to do it. Alan says that is very brave. When does Rafe leave? In two weeks. Alan says that he will take care of Natalia. She has a good job. Alan would like to see his grandson before Rafe leaves. They can talk some more. Rafe says that they have time. Alan says that Gus would be very proud of his son.

Ashlee sees Doris in the park outside the courthouse. Doris has not done this before. She should right. The office is just right there. She's has this habit of doing the same thing over and over. She really wants to make a change. She got Ashlee a Swiss cheese sandwich. Ashlee admits she hates Swiss cheese. Doris says sorry. She never actually goes into the cafeteria to get lunch. She's trying to do new things. She's trying to open up her life. Doris asks if Ashlee remembers the time when she was seven and they went to the beach. They were going to have a talk. Ashlee says that was the sex talk. She's fine with that. Doris has just always tried to protect her daughter. Ashlee asks why her mom is so spooked. Doris admits that she's a lesbian. Ashlee is stunned by the news.

Part 4

Ashlee is in tears as she looks at her mother. Did Doris just tell her that she is a lesbian? Doris knows that it's a lot to accept. Doris says that now is a different time then when she was growing up. People are more tolerant. Doris tried to date but it never quite worked out. When she graduated school she decided to live her life her own way. She wanted to have a baby so she went to a sperm bank. She got Ashlee. Ashlee means the world to her mom. Doris wanted to tell Ashlee before when Ashlee asked why she had no dad. Doris chickened out and just did the sex talk instead. Doris says that Ashlee is a remarkable young woman. Ashlee asks how her mom could lie to her. How could Doris not trust Ashlee enough to tell her this big secret? Doris loves her daughter. The world can be cruel. Ashlee knows that better than anyone. Doris was cruel to her. Why could Doris not trust her? Doris questions if Ashlee is ashamed or embarrassed by the news. Ashlee says no. She's angry. She's angry that her mom did not love her enough to tell her. Ashlee leaves.

Natalia sees Phillip at Cedars. Olivia told her the news. She's so sorry. Phillip says he should do t-shirts. Natalia says she has to go. Phillip says no. Phillip has wanted to talk to Natalia but has never felt it was his place. He knows that Olivia is pushing her away. Phillip tells Natalia to keep fighting for her. Olivia and Emma will need her more than ever when Phillip is gone. Natalia will get what she wants.

Alan walks up and sees Buzz outside of Company. Buzz heard about Philip dying. Alan first loses Gus then Phillip. Buzz is sorry. Ed told Alan though that there is a small chance that there is procedure that could save his son. Buzz says that is great. Alan says that there is a big problem. There is great risk to the donor. They could lose their life during the procedure. Phillip doesn't want anyone to help him. Buzz can get that. Alan asks if Buzz was enlisted or he chose to go to Vietnam. He enlisted. Alan admits he was drafted. Buzz asks where Alan served. Alan says he didn't go. He was too scared to die. Buzz went. Alan was a coward. Alan tells Buzz about what Brandon did with Gerald. Alan says that he only thing that came back was a flag draped coffin. Alan has been tormented since that happened. He's felt like a coward since then.

Part 5

Buzz tells Alan that we are all cowards. Buzz is not. He went and served his country. It's one of the things that Alan has always hated. Buzz did the one thing that Alan could not. Alan has watched Buzz and his family deal with such adversity and come out with honor. Buzz says that he wasn't brave. He ran away from his wife and son. He was a coward. Alan tells Buzz that he's a match for the operation. Buzz is stunned since Alan is not Phillip's biological father. It's ironic. He could save his son but right now he feels the same way when he saw those draft papers. He's scared of dying. Buzz says that we all die. Alan doesn't think he can do it. Buzz gets up and grabs his broom. Buzz tells Alan that he can do it because he can not do it. Buzz kisses Alan on the head and leaves.

Frank and Natalia are at the hospital waiting for the sonogram. He brought her some crackers in case she is queasy. She's not that anymore. She's hungry. She made some cookies with Emma earlier. It's so sad about Phillip. Emma thought that the cookies could make her dad feel better. She thought they could cure him. Frank says that he thought that the Cooper clan had problems but they are small things compared to what is facing the Spauldings. It shows you how important family is. Natalia says that is why she wants the baby to have the chance to have as much family around it as possible. She wants Olivia to be a part of this.

Alan sees Ed in his office. Alan wants to know the procedure exactly and how it will save his son. What are the chances? Ed will try to explain it all to Alan as best he can. Alan wants to know how he can save his son.

Phillip sees Olivia in the park. Is this a routine for her to come to the park and cry? She has nothing to talk about. She can talk to him. He's got nothing to hide. He's only got a bit of time left. He's got no time to beat around the bush. Olivia tells Phillip not to do that. How can she feel sorry for herself when he's facing what he is. Phillip say he's fine. When he goes, he goes. He's gotten used to the idea. He's sorry about the people who are left behind. He doesn't like it but he's had time to work it out. He's actually spent a lot of time chatting with his headstone. Everyone has dark moments in their life. Olivia is not sure what she's going to do. Emma will not have her father. Ava has lost Jeffrey. Rafe is going off to war. Phillip says you do what you always do. You keep on living. Take a chance on happiness if you get it. Olivia has someone who loves her and wants to be by her side. Phillip tells Olivia to stop pushing Natalia away.

Part 6

Ed tells Alan that is all there is too it. Phillip could be up and out of the hospital in a couple of days if it all works. Alan is impressed. Ed says that bone marrow transplants are quite common now. What is different this time is the amount that they need to take from the donor could be lethal. The hours after the operation will be the telling time. Nobody has ever done this before. It's the first time. Alan says that he would be the guinea pig then. Nope lab rat. Alan says that he will do it to save his boy. Ed says that is fine but they have one huge obstacle. Phillip will not accept this. Alan says that he will deal with his son.

Buzz sees Doris at the bar. She wants a shot. She screwed up again. She really talked with Ashlee and mentioned some big truths. Ashlee walked away from her. Buzz tells Doris to have faith. Our kids have seen us at our lowest point and they still love us.

Ashlee is in the courtyard at Company contemplating what her mom said. Rafe arrives there. She didn't respond to his text. She wasn't looking for him. She's also not looking for her mom either. Rafe asks if Ashlee is alright. She seems a bit off. Ashlee tells Rafe about Coop's book about his mother. Ashlee told Doris that she doesn't know zip about her so Doris decided to let it all hang out today. Doris is gay. Rafe is stunned. Is she serious? Very serious. Is this some bandwagon that people are jumping on? Ashlee says that her mom has known all of her life that she was this way. Ashlee is furious that her mom kept this a secret. She assumed that her daughter would be homophobic. Ashlee doesn't care about that. She's ticked off that Doris did not share this huge part of her life with her until now. Rafe says that at least Doris told her and she didn't find out on her own. Doris didn't trust her enough to tell her. Doris has not been happy because she never let herself because she was worried about what her daughter would think. Rafe tells Ashlee to calm down. This is not all about her.

Alan sees Phillip outside. Phillip was just going in to chat with Ed. He's planning on going over to Bill and Lizzie's house later and working on it. Alan can come along if he wants to do some work like steaming wallpaper. Alan says he has a meeting. He does need to chat with his son. Alan says that he is Phillip's match for the bone marrow transplant. Alan will explain it all to him later but they need to get ready. Phillip appreciates his dad's thoughts but there is no way that he's letting that happen.

Frank and Natalia are all excited waiting for the sonogram. Natalia says the last time she was young and scared with no family around. It was tough but she loves her son. Frank tells Natalia that Rafe loves her. He will get over this. Natalia just wants their baby to have a full family. She wants all of them there. Just then Olivia shows up. Frank says she's just in time. Frank has to go. Frank leaves. Olivia had to be there. She's not going to waste anymore time. Olivia caresses Natalia's face.

2009-09-03T14:32:00.000-07:00

Part 1

All the Coopers arrive back at Company to celebrate Shayne and Marina both getting custody of Henry. Daisy is really confused. Is this why Mallet left? Blake shushes Daisy. Blake then asks if Shayne and Marina are getting married. Shayne and Marina look at each other like oh oh. Thankfully Ashlee comes in with Henry who is fast asleep in his stroller. Marina suggests that she and Shayne move to the quieter part away from the crazy family. Just then a man in a suit shows up. He has papers for the Cooper clan. Buzz takes a look at them. Buzz calls over Marina since it's bank stuff. Marina reads it and finds out that the bank is calling in both mortgages in thirty days. The bank is going to close Company before they declare bankruptcy because they are not making enough money to pay the minimum payments.

Olivia is working when Natalia shows up. Olivia does not want to be disturbed. Natalia is there to tell Olivia that she is having her sonogram tomorrow. They will be able to find out if their baby is either a boy or girl.

Lizzie, Bill and Alan all talk in the waiting room. Lizzie can not believe that this is happening. Alan is all grouchy. He says that Phillip found out a long time ago but choose not to tell the family the truth. He wanted to control the situation. Lillian tells Alan to stop they all need to pull together. Lizzie does not want to fight with her grandfather right now. They all walk into a hospital room where Phillip is sitting. He is being a very grouchy patient. He does not want to die in a hospital. Beth says that he has to fight for his life. He wants to live. Phillip wants Rick to tell them the truth. Rick says that there is no cure or treatment. Phillip wants to die at home with his family not in some sterile hospital room.

James is lashing out at Ed. Ed found a cure to save Phillip. Why is he keeping this from everyone? Ed says at best the cure is experimental. It's too risky for Phillip and the donor. James says hogwash. They should make the choice. James walks into Phillip's room with the file and tells them that Ed found a cure but he didn't bother to tell them. James glares at Ed.

Part 2

he Spauldings want to know more about the cure. Why did Ed not tell them the truth? Ed says it would be very experimental. It would take too much bone marrow, blood and immunologic suppressants. It's just a theory nothing more. There is a very faint chance that Phillip could survive with the treatment. There is also a high chance that the donor and Phillip could die. No doctor would recommend this course. Only if a person was brought in with fatal injuries and was a perfect match would it be considered. Lillian says only then the family would have to accept and sign the papers. It's a very slim chance. James and Lizzie both want to see if they are matches. Phillip says no way in hell is that going to happen. There is no chance that his kids are taking that type of chance. It's why he said nothing.

Olivia tells Natalia to let go of this. Natalia says hogwash. They are meant to be together. Olivia will just have to get over this fear that she has about them. If she doesn't then she will miss out on the family moments that she can have with Natalia and the baby. This is only going to happen once. It will not happen again. Olivia says she can't deal with this and tells Natalia to leave.

Ashlee and Blake are talking outside of Company about the book when Cyrus comes out. They have to do something. They need to finish the book and now. Blake says that the book is not ready. They still need a final chapter about the exploits in Australia. Cyrus says that they need the money to pay off the mortgages. Blake says in order to get that type of money they need to have a finalized copy in with publisher before 6pm tonight. It can't be done. Cyrus says hogwash. The Cooper family risked everything to rescue Cyrus.. He's not going to let Company go under because of it. Cyrus is going to save his family. They are going to save the Coopers and Company. Ashlee agrees. Blake says they can't do it without her so she's in as well.

The Cooper clan sit stunned on their seats. Buzz is on the bar with a towel on his head. What do they do now? Natalia walks in and wonders what the heck happened. Buzz says in deadpan humor " welcome to the morgue" Natalia says fine as she walks over and tells Frank about the sonogram tomorrow. It's at 10am. Is Olivia coming? She will. Frank says oh good. Natalia leaves.

Part 3

Ashlee, Cyrus and Blake all sit on Blake's bed. Cyrus asks so what do they have to do? They have to write 35 pages in 3hours. They just need to write one chapter about Australia and Cyrus. They can just write it then. Ashlee says it's not that easy. They would have to write from scratch. Blake says that they would have to edit on the fly. The time is now 3:45. Cyrus says that they need to get the show on the road as he plugs the computer in. He will chit chat about what happened. Ashlee can translate and write it in Coop's words. Blake can edit as the pages come out. They need to get to it. Doris walks in and sees everyone working.

Shayne tells Henry that he is part of a pretty crazy family. Buzz says welcome to the nuthouse. Shayne says that the Lewis clan are just as crazy at times. They can actually make the Cooper clan look pretty sane.

Frank walks outside and sees Olivia. So he will see her at the sonogram? She's not going. Frank says he gets that she's confused. They all are. Nothing makes sense anymore. Frank says that he has no clue what side is up lately. Mallet and Marina split up. Shayne is Henry's real dad. The restaurant is failing miserably. Cyrus is Jenna's son. Frank says the one thing he knows for certain is that Natalia loves Olivia yet she is having Frank's baby. It's all upside down. If you look at the big picture it's not so bad. Olivia does not need to beat herself up because of this. She just needs to do what she should. Frank leaves.

James says that there is no law against him getting tested since he's eighteen now. They can not stop him. Lizzie says she will do it as well. They both love their dad. Phillip says no way in hell is this happening. They are not going to test any members of his family to save his life. James and Lizzie leave. Phillip frustrated says that this is why he never told any of them. He didn't want his last few weeks to be about this illness. Phillip says that he has one last person to tell. He has to go tell Emma the news.

Part 4

James needs to make this alright.

Alan and Lillian talk in another office. Lillian says that Alan has a cardio test in one hour. Alan is planning on skipping it. Lillian says he can't do that. Alan needs to take care of himself. The family needs him. Alan says that nobody needs him anymore.

2009-08-30T21:00:00.000-07:00

The opening for the 2009 Daytime Emmys by Vanessa Williams. Spoof includes a tribute to Otalia near the end.

Vincent Irizarry ( David, AMC ; Ex Lujack, Nick GL ) and Jeff Branson ( Shayne, GL ) tie for Outstanding Supporting Actor during the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards that appeared on Sunday August 30th, 2009 in Los Angeles on the CW.

Shayne fans the clip is of Shayne talking to Josh on GL 12/22/08 at the bar.

The finale tribute to Guiding Light at this years Daytime Emmy Awards. Guiding Light airs it's final episode on CBS on September 18th, 2009 after being on for 72 years. The show has filmed over 16,000 episodes.

Some of the highlight clips include the 2008 Bauer BBQ ( clips are in my collection). Bert ( Charita Bauer) and Papa Bauer talking. Reva baptizing herself as the slut of Springfield in front of Josh. Bert helping Josh in his wheelchair. Holly talking to Meg when she was first born. Jonathon sobbing at Tammy's bedside after she died. Buzz saying goodbye to Coop ( which I have in my collection). Maureen yelling at Ed for his affair with Lillian. Roger and Holly arguing. Tammy's funeral. The Fifth Street Fire. Lillian discovering that she has breast cancer. Olivia and Natalia's groundbreaking kiss.

The curtain pulls back and the cast appears as they are lead out by Kim Zimmer ( Reva ) and Robert Newman ( Josh ). Robert has been on GL for over 28 years. Tina Sloan ( Lillian ) has been on for 26 years. The camera does way too quick of a pan as it shows a glimpse of the rest of the cast members. For Cyrus fans: Murray Bartlett is in the very back row beside EJ Bonilla ( Rafe ), Lawrence Saint Victor ( Remy ) and Gina Tognoni ( Dinah). Jeff Branson ( Shayne ) is on the very far right side.

The tribute was bittersweet, heartbreaking and so final. It's the last time we will see our beloved cast on the same stage again. I found it too short. I wish that GL had been given a longer tribute since it is the longest airing show in broadcast history. Thank you so much to the wonderful cast and crew of Guiding Light for the last 72 years. I have enjoyed Guiding Light for almost 26 years personally. Guiding Light will never dim in my heart or memory. It will always have a special place.

He signed the paper work himself the other day. They will just stop it. Natalia did not sign anything. Rafe says he's been signing his own paperwork for a long time. Rafe is 18 years old. Natalia does not get why her son wants to go over there and get himself killed. He could get killed while being a cop in Springfield. Natalia was fine with that. It is different. Rafe says he's going to be serving and protecting on a larger scale. How can Natalia expect her son to accept her decisions when she can not do the same for him?

Buzz tells everyone this is why he thinks that Jenna and Coop sent him on that journey to Australia and New York. It's why Buzz has always had a connection to Cyrus. Cyrus is family. Frank says that Cyrus is not a blood relative. Buzz asks when that has ever mattered. Cyrus knows that this is shocking news for all of them. He was shocked as well when he found out. Lillian welcomes Cyrus to the family. Marina and Frank groan. Cyrus has always been fond of all of them. He will make sure to work hard to deserve to be a member of the family.

Josh tells Olivia about Billy's botched wedding attempt at Towers. Vanessa still wants to marry him. They just crossed their wires. It happens. What can Olivia do? Josh wants to get into Billy's room and take the engagement ring. They are going to be doing a date later at the gazebo. Josh is just going to give his brother the push he needs. Olivia is impressed. Josh is such a romantic. Does she have her pass key? She does of course.

Frank sees Natalia at the post office. The baby is fine. Rafe enlisted in the army. He wants to go away and get killed. She wants Frank to stop him. Frank says that there is nothing they can do. Rafe is an adult. Rafe is not a little boy anymore. He is a man. This time is not about what Natalia wants. It's about what Rafe wants. Natalia has to respect that.

Olivia and Josh arrive at the Gazebo. Olivia is impressed. Lewis boys are full of charm. Josh says that is true. Where do they put the ring? In the glass. What if Vanessa drinks it? What if Billy sits there and the ring is gone forever? Olivia says they can put the flower on the plate. Billy will take it from there. Josh is impressed. Olivia knows what women want. Josh says that they hide now. Why hide? So they can watch. Olivia likes.

Natalia is heartbroken at the mini mart as she drinks a quart of milk. Remy sees her as he tries to find flowers for Christina. Natalia tells him about Rafe enlisting. Remy is impressed. He considered that. Christina will love the pictures.

Rafe shows up at Company. He wants to tell Buzz, Frank and Daisy the news. What is the noise inside? Daisy tells Rafe that Cyrus is Coop's brother so it's sort of a family reunion. Rafe can come in to. He's family as well.

Frank grumbles as the Cooper clan watches pictures of Australia with Cyrus. Blake sees that. Frank says that he can't stand it. Does everyone forget all the damage that Cyrus has done to this family? Blake says that Frank hired Cyrus to work at the SPD. He's a good man. Frank says true but he doesn't want Cyrus as his brother. Remy walks in with flowers. The Cooper clan tells Christina to forgive her hubby. Remy was sworn to secrecy. Cyrus agree. Christina take the flower but no kiss.

Vanessa is charmed by Billy's plan. She's even more impressed when she sees the ring in the glass. Billy has no clue. Vanessa fishes it out. She assumes that Billy is going to put it on her finger. He is.

Josh walks out and asks Billy if he has any clue what just happened. Billy realizes that Josh set it up. Billy thought it was a dream but was hoping it was not. Josh talked with Vanessa. Olivia helped him get the ring. They put the ring in the glass. Billy thanks his brother. Josh says it was mean to be. Billy better not screw it up this time. Where is Vanessa? She's gone to tell Matt. Vanessa is a good woman. Billy knows he's lucky. Josh kisses his brother and leaves.

Vanessa sits with Matt. She tells him that Billy proposed. Matt thought that Billy was going to do 52 dates then propose. He didn't even make it to one. Vanessa said yes. Matt says congratulations. Matt wishes Vanessa the best.

Cyrus and Marina are pouring drinks for everyone. Is she o.k. with the turn of events? He knows that it is weird that he is a member of the family now. Marina says not weird. Odd. Peculiar. Troublesome. Freakish but not weird. Will they be alright now that he is her step uncle? Marina says that last week she would not have been fine with it. This week has taught her that surprises happen. You just have to go with the flow. Cyrus has to learn how to be a better bus boy.

Buzz tells Lillian in the kitchen how much he's missed her. Not many loves would let their current love chase after a past love. She's his current love. If she has no clue then he has to work harder at his job. Buzz kisses Lillian.

Cyrus pulls Remy aside. So it's good with Christina? It will be. Remy is wearing her down. How is it for Cyrus today? It's good. He's still here right. He's supposed to be. He's a member of the Cooper family. Daisy walks over. Family? So that means he can take out the trash now. Cyrus laughs. Cyrus asks if Daisy is o.k. with him being her step uncle? Daisy says yeah. The Cooper clan is healing. Coop would love that. Cyrus hugs Daisy. He hopes his brother would be happy.

Rafe tells Frank the news that he's enlisted. Frank is very impressed. Frank calls out the Cooper clan. Rafe tells them the news. They are all impressed with him. Frank hugs Rafe.

Olivia finds a heartbroken Natalia outside of her room. The baby is fine. It's Rafe. He's enlisted. Natalia needs Olivia to reassure her that everything will be fine. She needs to stroke her hair and reassure her that she's a good mom. Olivia can't do that. She can call congress. She can give money. She can be a good friend. She can't be more than that. Natalia stomped on her heart when she ran out the last time. Olivia can't take the chance of that happening again. She will do whatever she can as a friend only.

Vanessa and Billy cuddle in the gazebo. She asks how he did it. Billy fudges. She wants to get married soon. So does he. Vanessa and Billy kiss.

Buzz chats with Rafe telling him that they are all proud of him being a soldier. They don't get the choice that he made but Buzz does. Rafe will see things over there that will change him. There will be magnificent and horrible things. Those things do not make Rafe a man. This choice right now does. Buzz hugs Rafe. Rafe leaves. Lillian walks over and hugs Buzz. He has an odd collection of kids in his family. Buzz knows. The family is expanding every day. Especially today. It's what it is all about family and connections. You need to hold onto that.

Josh sees Olivia outside her office. They did good. Vanessa and Billy are very happy. He thanks her for being a good friend. How is she? Not good. Does she want to talk about it? Not really.

Natalia prays that Rafe will be alright at the church. She's not sure about this next challenge. She's not sure she's taught Rafe all he needs to know before he goes to war. He could get hurt or die over there. Natalia asks God to watch over her son and keep him safe.

Reva sees Blake coming and greets her with pink lemonade. Jonathon looks at the pictures again. Reva thanks Blake for bringing some grub from Company over. Blake was in the neighborhood. Reva could have gotten it but Colin just went to sleep. It's not as if Reva can't go out of the house. Blake says it's fine. She didn't leave the house for two months after Ross died. She talked to his pictures all the time. Blake says it takes a couple of months for a widow to meet new people. So Blake does not think that Reva is crazy? Blake completely gets it. Blake says she has go to. Reva is fine.

Reva walks into the house with the food. Jonathon pushes his mother asking why she did not invite Blake inside. Jonathon says that this is crazy talking to the pictures.

Cyrus, Remy and Buzz dig by the tree. Buzz hits a box with his shovel. Cyrus digs up the box. He lifts it up. It's light. There is something inside. Buzz tells Cyrus to break the lock which he does. Buzz says that Jenna was an amazing woman. Cyrus continues to dig hoping for more treasure. Buzz opens the box. He is puzzled by the contents. Remy asks what it is. Buzz says it's a chain. Cyrus says that a necklace is harder to heist then you think. Remy asks what there is on it. Buzz says numbers #032055. Cyrus looks up stunned what? Buzz again says the numbers. They are Jenna's birthday. Cyrus is stunned. Wow. Buzz asks what is wrong. Cyrus pulls out the dog tag that he always wears. Cyrus says that they are the same. Buzz takes the chain and looks at it. They are identical. Where did Cyrus get it? Cyrus says that it's the only thing he has from his mom when he was placed in the orphanage. Buzz says that Grady has one as well. He gave it to Daisy. Cyrus sheepishly says that was a fake. Cyrus explains that when he was younger he was placed in the same foster home as Grady. Grady was much younger and trouble. Cyrus took him under his wing. Cyrus made a cop of the dog tag and gave it to Grady. He did that so the services would think they were brothers. Grady was the closest thing that Cyrus had to family. Grady still does not know that the tag is a fake. Buzz says that Grady is not Cyrus' brother. No not blood. Cyrus says that the only truth that the told about the dog tag was that the numbers are his mum's birthday.

Ashlee is waiting on the phones for a call from Buzz. Christina and Lizzie walk in. Frank is on the computer online dating. Lizzie plays a joke on Ashlee with the phones. Frank says that Buzz is in Australia tracking down Cyrus. Christina smells a rat. Remy said he was on a secret mission with Cyrus. Frank says that is hogwash. Christina is pissed off and tries to call her husband. Lizzie asks if she can get a sandwich. She realizes that nobody heard her so she leaves.

Blake walks out of her hotel room and sees Josh. Blake says that she saw Reva. She's on her way back. She's having her ups and downs but she will level off eventually.

Reva and Jonathon face off over the pictures. Reva says that they make her feel better. She's not losing her mind. She doesn't let people in. Reva says that people grieve in different ways. Jonathon is doing the same thing since Tammy died. Reva tells Jonathon that he can not judge her. He will not let Sarah see her mother. Lizzie loves her daughter. Jonathon says he's keeping his daughter safe from Alan. Reva says that is hogwash. This is about Tammy. Jonathon says that normal people grieve by crying, holding a couple of pictures and letting people help. They do not wallow inside alone. Reva says she can do normal. She can go out alone. Can Jonathon watch Colin for a bit? Good. Reva leaves.

Lizzie sees Reva at the mini mart. Is she stocking up on bottles for Colin. There are cute ones over on the side with giraffes on them. Lizzie can stop by later to see Reva. Reva says no. Colin has the sniffles. Lizzie says that she and Bill are planning a play room. Bill wants to have kids. Lizzie will never forget Sarah but she thinks that Bill would make a good dad. Reva gets that. You can't put your life on hold for someone. Lizzie wonders what Sarah would look like right now. She asks Reva again if she has seen Jonathon. Reva fudges badly. Lizzie is an incredible mom. Any kid is lucky to have her as a mother.

Shayne sees Jonathon getting his pack together. Is Reva there? No she went out. Is he leaving? It's time. Reva likes having Jonathon around. Jonathon is not sure if he's making their mom better or worse. Shayne gets the idea of Jonathon living for his kid now. It makes Jonathon a good dad. Jonathon thanks Shayne. He left a note for Reva. Can Shayne take Colin to the babysitter? Of course. Shayne and Jonathon shake hands. Shayne wishes his brother the best.

Marina is outside of Company when Blake shows up. Blake says it's fine if Marina is not fine. Marina's whole life just got turned upside down. Mallet just up and left. Marina tells Blake to stop it. Mallet was doing what he thought was best. Marina doesn't get it now but she will. Mallet did what he had to do. He was doing the right thing for Henry. Marina misses her husband. Blake gets that. Marina will for a long time. Marina says thanks. Blake hugs Marina.

[ Awesome performance by Murray Bartlett and Justin Deas in the next sequence. ]

Remy sees a note in the box. Cyrus nervously tells Remy to take it out and read it. Buzz pulls it out. It's Jenna's writing. Jenna was sent to Australia when she was 16 when her parents found out that she was pregnant. Cyrus sighs as he fights tears. Buzz reads as Jenna says that it was too much for her parents to take. It was too much for her as well. She was heartbroken when she had to give her baby boy to the orphanage. Cyrus fights back the tears as he realizes that he is Jenna's son. Jenna says that Cyrus was her greatest treasure. Jenna left the dog tag in the box. The numbers are her birthday. The matching dog tag is with her son. She hopes that she will be able to come back one day and dig it up. She will then use the dog tag to prove that she is his mother. Buzz is stunned by the contents. Cyrus fights back the tears barely holding on. Buzz says that Cyrus is Jenna's son. Cyrus is Jenna's son and Coops' big brother. Of course he is Coop's brother just look at him. Cyrus is really fighting back the tears now. Buzz says that this is what Jenna wanted them to find. It was all about Cyrus. Buzz hugs Cyrus as Cyrus finally crumbles.

Marina, Shayne and Henry are all at Cedars. Shayne is holding his son. Marina says that Henry loves the bear cub that Shayne gave him. It's his favorite toy. Really? Henry grabs Shayne's face. Shayne laughs. He's got a good grip just like his mom. Henry wants to go to Marina. Marina tells Henry that Shayne is his daddy. Shayne says that Marina is Henry's mother. Shayne is going to make sure that all of them have a great life together.

An emotionally drained Cyrus leans back against a tree. He laughs. It explains a lot of things right. Buzz laughs like the fact that Cyrus has been entangled with the Cooper clan since he came to Springfield. Yeah. Remy says it explains why Cyrus is such a good thief. Cyrus is honored that Jenna Bradshaw is his mom. Buzz laughs. Imagine what the rest of the family is going to think of this news. Cyrus groans saying that maybe they should keep that under wraps for a bit. Buzz says hogwash. Jenna worked a long time for this to come out. She knew that Buzz would treat any son of hers like his own. Buzz is Cyrus' dad. Cyrus is a Cooper whether he likes it or not. Cyrus sighs laughing saying that Frank is going to love this.

Blake and Frank continue to online date as Josh walks in. He razzes Frank about the online date. Frank offers to make him a burger to get him to shut up. Will that work? Possibly.

Reva walks in and sees the notes from her boys. C-ya that is all she gets from Jonathon. Reva tells Jeffrey that she misses him but she can't keep talking to the pictures.

Jonathon is seen hitchhiking down the road.

Bill Lizzie Part 1

Bill and Lizzie are looking around at their new house. Bill says that they are going to have to get central air because it's so hot. They will have to use fans for now. Lizzie works on a list of jobs that needs to get done. They knew what they were getting themselves into right. It will be a perfect place for their family. Bill walks in and shows Lizzie the fan on the floor. That will do for now. Lizzie and Bill sigh at the cool air. Bill says that all newlyweds need something when they buy a house. A bed. Bill pulls out their bed: an air mattress. Lizzie asks what the heck that is. Bill says that he can figure it out. He turns on the fan but it's still soft. Bill will figure it out. He adjusts the fan and blows a fuse so there is no power.

Beth is at the mini mart shopping for Lizzie and Bill when she runs into Matt. He asks where she is going. Beth mentions about the old house. Matt knows. Beth is helping out the kids since they are ambitious and want to do the work while staying there. Staying there? There is a lot of problems with that old house like no running water. The boiler room is a disaster. Beth drops her stuff in worry. Matt will help her pick the stuff up.

Bill and Lizzie are hot so they sit in the bathroom. What are they going to do with a place with no electricity. They can call an electrician. They will be able to handle it. Lizzie says she can handle no TV or other luxuries but not having a fan in August is a whole other thing. Lizzie suggests staying somewhere else while they work on the house. Bill says he has a way to cool off his wife. He cools her down with a wet cloth as the temperature rises.

Bill Lizzie Part 2

Beth and Matt arrive at the old house and call out Bill and Lizzie's name. Bill and Lizzie blush as they walk out wearing robes. Matt and Beth realizes that they interrupted the newlyweds. Lizzie attempts to explain but fuddles with her words. Bill tells his bride to stop while she's ahead of releasing too much information. What are they doing there? Matt and Beth were bringing supplies. There is more for them in the car. Matt came to offer his contracting skills to help put the place back on it's feet. Bill and Lizzie ask to be given a second to make themselves presentable. Bill asks since Matt is there could he turn the power back on for them. Matt and Beth look at each other.

Matt tells Bill sorry for the awkward timing. Is Matt ready to take on a project? He wants something happy to work on. Bill and Lizzie will be staying put while the renovations happen. It will be messy. This is their home. Bill wants to do some of the work as well. Matt is impressed. This will be a lot of fun.

Beth and Lizzie chat as Lizzie asks about Phillip. Beth says that nothing is happening there. Lizzie says it's clear that Phillip still loves Beth. Beth says that he may but he's clearly told her that they are not going there. He has called once from his road trip with Alan. They were at a baseball park eating crackerjacks. Lizzie laughs. She knows that her mother spoke English but it didn't sound right. Lizzie doesn't get the meaning of the trip. Beth says that they will know more when Alan and Phillip return.

Bill and Lizzie are relaxing in their chairs. It will be spectacular when they have the house finished. It's going to take a long time. Does Lizzie really want to stay? She does if he does. It's going to be an adventure for them. Just then Lizzie and Bill hear water dripping. A lot of water dripping. Bill walks into the bedroom and sees a leak from the ceiling where the bathroom is upstairs. Bill comes out all wet and tells Lizzie. She can't help but laugh. Bill says he will call Matt to fix it up.

Alan Part 1

Phillip is standing on the balcony of the study in the living room of the Spaulding Mansion. He laughs as Lizzie and Bill negotiate how many kids they are going to have. Bill says ten. Lizzie says eight. Bill says nine but that includes Sarah as well. Bill asks about the housewarming party. Lizzie wants the whole town there since everyone threw them the wedding. Phillip then sees Alan talking to James about a new picture. Alan is very impressed with his grandson. This is exactly what the company needs. Alan then walks over to a picture of Phillip. Phillip realizes in horror that this is his wake as Alan reminds everyone why they are there. Phillip wakes up then in his car.

Alan walks into the motel room and sees a phone call from Ed Bauer. Ed assumes that it's Phillip but just with a bad connection. Ed tells Phillip to tell him if he misses anything. Ed tells Alan he got the latest blood tests back. There may not be time for the new experimental treatment Ed suggested. Ed knows that Phillip doesn't want to talk about that. Ed knows that Phillip got his hopes up but the disease is progressing. They are still on the same time line. Ed promises to make Phillip comfortable in his final time. They will treat the symptoms. Alan is stunned and heartbroken by the news. Ed says that Phillip should cut the trip short and come home. He needs to tell the family the news. Ed asks how Alan is. Alan just mumbles. Alan ends the phone call as Phillip walks in. The heartbreak is obvious on Alan's face as he looks at his son.

Phillip casually asks his dad how it went with the Pierce family. It went alright. Alan did what he could for now. Phillip says he knows that this is hard for his dad. Phillip is very proud of his dad. Alan asks Phillip why he decided to do this trip now. Phillip wanted his dad to feel better. He knows that the secret has been a source of pain and guilt for Alan. So Phillip assumes that they can have this perfect father son time now and make up for lost time. Alan then asks his son how much time he has left. Phillip acts like he doesn't know what his father is saying. Alan presses saying that Ed called. He left a message saying that the disease has progressed and they have the same time line still. Phillip looks at his dad realizing he can't cover it. Alan is horrified as he says that his son is still dying right.

Alan Part 2

Alan asks his son what is wrong? Phillip muddles for an answer saying that Ed is just making it worse than it sounds. Alan says that is a load of hogwash. Ed assumed he was talking to Phillip. Phillip attempts to change the subject by asking why his dad picked up the phone. Alan presses and says that Phillip can't deny it anymore. Phillip finally admits that he's sick. Alan asks how long his son has known. For a while. Phillip explains that he caught an infection while he was gone. It was dormant and now it's not. Alan presses about the time line. Phillip then admits that he's dying from the disease. Its a progressive infection that has no cure. Alan says that there has to be a cure. Phillip say that there isn't. Ed has been looking and searching for one. How much time does Phillip have? Phillip dodges the question until Alan presses his son harder. Phillip admits maybe only months or shorter. Phillip is dying. Phillip says that his dad can understand the urgency of why he wanted to make everything right. Phillip moves closer but Alan bristles and moves away. Alan accuses his son of being selfish. These were all lies. Alan thought that he was getting ..... the baseball clip, seeing the family all lies. Alan asks why he didn't tell him. Phillip admits he's not ready. Alan rages through his despair saying that Phillip was doing this trip to check off things before he dies. It was all lies between them. None of it was real. Alan rushes out.

Phillip calls out to his father. Alan doesn't want to hear anything more of what Phillip has to say. Phillip says what does it matter that he is sick. Phillip can ask his father a question like that. Phillip says that they are all dying. Life is short. They could get hit by a bus crossing the street tomorrow. Why did he want to do this? He wanted Alan to face the past. Phillip believes that it can change his dad for the better and help the family as well in the end. It can stop this cycle of fighting between father and son once and for all. Phillip really believes that. Alan says it's a load of crap. He's not there to help him. He's there to save them be the great hero so he can die in peace. Alan is done with this. Phillip tells his dad to stop. Alan says sorry Phillip doesn't get the right to fix him then just die on him. Alan says that will not happen. He will find his own ride home. Alan walks away.

Alan walks into the diner and is greeted by Charlie. Charlie again thanks Alan for the stories about his father Gerald. Charlie didn't know much about his dad. Alan says he's sorry for what happened to his dad. Charley says thank you. Gerald would have loved this place. Charlie is so proud of his dad. Charlie leaves. Alan walks out and looks out to the heavens. He mutters Phillip's name. The heartbreak and sadness evident in his voice.

Phillip sits in his bed organizing his next dose of pills. He bashes a bottle till it opens. He then tosses the pills away clearly angry and heartbroken at the same time.

Dinah presses Mallet saying that he can't arrest Marina. Marina didn't murder the John Doe. Dinah did it. She's the one he is looking for. Why is she saying this? Dinah really wished she didn't have to say anything. She made a choice before she got married to Shayne to be happy but she's sick and tired of seeing Mallet hound Marina. She can't let Mallet do that to his family. Mallet doesn't believe what Dinah is telling him. She's just doing this so he won't turn in Marina. Mallet tells Dinah not to tell him this in a public place. A lot of people could overhear. Dinah tells Mallet that day she saw Marina and Henry over by the shopping center. They looked so beautiful together. She should have been watching her back because Edmund or whomever that person was walked up and said he knew that Henry was his grandson. Edmund was going to go after Henry and Marina. Dinah had no clue what to do but she had to stop him. Henry's stroller was outside the store. Marina had taken Henry to the park. Mallet knows the rest. Dinah is not sure how she had the strength to do it. Afterwords she put the body in the water and walked away. She went home and had a shower. Dinah didn't want anyone to pay for it. She was gong to sit on it and let it blow over. She never thought that Mallet would turn on his own wife. Dinah couldn't let that happen. Frank watches from a distance as an emotional Dinah says she did it.

Mallet tells Dinah that it's done. This conversation is over and it's not to be repeated again. He didn't hear her. He heard her loud and clear. Now they are going to bury it. Frank is shocked by the body language. Dinah is going to let it go. The case will die on the vine. Jeffrey is dead. It doesn't matter what people believe happened. It will just all go away.

Whenever this case got better invariably bad is bound to happen soon after. What changed his mind? Did he see Dinah? Marina says she reflected on their marriage when she watched Shayne and Dinah get married. Mallet did the same thing.

Shayne and Dinah arrive at the Beacon. Shayne asks if his bride is alright. She's just thinking. Not bad things right. She wants to live in the moment and be with Shayne. This is their wedding night.

She doesn't want to fail him. He doesn't believe that will happen. Dinah says everyone else expects it from her. Dinah says his vows today meant so much to her. The way that the Lewis family took her in today. Shayne says that she is part of that family now. Dinah loves the idea of being part of a family now. She's always wanted that. Shayne says that they are going to have an amazing life together. Dinah wants to believe it but is not sure. They are going to have a surprising exciting life together.

Phillip is on his phone leaving a message for Ed. They are going to be returning soon. Can Ed call him back? Phillip is starting to feel the ill effects of his disease. They will be heading back soon. Phillip asks Ed to call him with the blood work results. Phillip leaves.

She's not sure how she is going to get through this. Shayne and Dinah are getting married today. Dinah makes Shayne so happy just like Jeffrey did for her. Reva will put on a good show but she still misses him. Reva says that Blake is going to watch over Colin today. Knock at the door and it's Billy. Reva asks Jeffrey to wish her luck. Billy says they should get going because Shayne is getting married.. Reva is fine with that. She's beyond happy for them.

Bill and Lizzie are moving stuff into their new house. Lizzie says that they need to get changed for the wedding. Bill can't be late for his sisters wedding. Vanessa is very happy that two of her kids got married. Lizzie misses her dad. He will be back tomorrow. Lizzie tells her husband to get changed. Billy agrees a happy wife makes his life happy.

Mallet says that the lies have to stop as he looks at the trust. Marina asks him to help her tie her dress. Marina is so happy for today. They have finally put the trouble of the last couple of days behind them. They have a fresh start. They have told all and put it out there. Mallet says that they really need to do that for Henry. They need to be honest with each other. Honesty is more important than money right. Marina agrees look where it got Alan and Edmund. It doesn't work out. They have to leave and take Henry to Company. Marina is happy that Shayne and Dinah are getting married. She's happy that she and Mallet get a new start.

Dinah is at the gazebo playing with her engagement ring when Shayne sees her from behind. She takes his breathe away. Shayne has a bouquet for his bride. He almost got caught picking them out. Dinah says that she's allergic to them. Does she have flowers? Lilacs. They don't seem to bother her. Shayne says that the flowers can not be as beautiful as his bride. She looks stunning. Dinah questions no carriage today? No. She can't ride a bike. Shayne suggests that they walk to their wedding. Dinah says it's a perfect day for a walk. Shayne and Dinah grasp hands as they walk to their wedding.

Shayne and Dinah are on the bridge looking at the pond. A pair of swans start honking. Dinah says that is good luck. Shayne says that they should do what swans do and mate for life. Dinah smiles as the swans keep honking. Is she ready? Dinah is so ready to get married. She wants to land somewhere and be happy, loved and appreciated. Shayne says that she picked a pretty good spot then to land. Dinah asks if they are going to have walks like this after they get married. Are they going to fly kites still? Shayne says for the rest of their lives. They will do it with their kids. Kids? Shayne wants so much to have a little girl who looks as beautiful as her mother. Dinah can't believe that she is finally making plans. She is thinking of a future. She's never had something like that. Shayne says before they do that they should go and get married. Dinah asks if anyone is going to show up at their wedding. Remy will because there is free food. They have their families. Shayne asks if they are doing this too fast. Does Dinah want a big wedding? Dinah wants to marry him now. She wants to know what everyone to know what an amazing man she is marrying. Dinah offers her arm. Shayne says he's supposed to do that. Dinah says he should get his bride to the courthouse on time.

Everyone is at the courthouse waiting for Shayne and Dinah. Reva asks where they are. Josh says that Shayne and Dinah wanted to walk to their wedding. Mallet says he has to head inside. Christina walks over to Marina. They are so happy for Shayne and Dinah. Marina is as well. She can tell how much Shayne loves Dinah. Dinah has been a really good friend to them. She helped them find Henry. She's the reason that they do have him. Marina loves talking about her son.

Mallet is working on the paperwork in the SPD when Remy walks in. Remy tells Mallet today is not the day to work on the case. Mallet says that he thought he knew Marina but he can't trust her. She lied about Henry. He has no clue if she lied about John Doe as well. She could have murdered him. They have been keeping a lot of secrets. Mallet shows Remy the trust papers. Remy is impressed. Henry will be a wealthy little boy. Why did Marina hide this from him? Remy tells Mallet to put it on hold. This is Shayne and Dinah's wedding day.

Everyone is there as Shayne and Dinah arrive at the courthouse. All congratulate Shayne and Dinah. Shayne and Dinah head inside.

Remy sees Dinah with Ashlee in the hallway. Remy says he's checking on Dinah for Shayne. Dinah can't do this. Remy says she can't leave Shayne like that. Ashlee explains that Dinah has nobody to walk her down the aisle. Since it's not a church, it's not that big of a deal. Remy says that the problem is solved. He will do it for her. Dinah is beyond happy that her best friend would do that for her. Ashlee goes to tell everyone that it's almost ready. Dinah thanks her best friend for doing this. Bill and Lizzie arrive outside the courthouse. How can she run in those shoes? Not very quickly. Lizzie hates rushing into Dinah's wedding. Lizzie Spaulding would have no problem with that but she is Lizzie Lewis now. She's more refined. Lizzie is really happy for Dinah. She's turned her life around and made up for her past.

Bill and Lizzie rush in and see Dinah with Remy. Remy says he's giving Dinah away. Bill is visibly heartbroken. Is he in the doghouse? Dinah says he is with their mom but today all the focus is on Dinah. Bill and Lizzie head in. Remy asks if Dinah is ready. Dinah says that she wants to be happy. She doesn't deserve it but she wants it so much. Remy says then they should get going.

Everyone is waiting in the courthouse when Remy brings Dinah in ( Kyler England's " If you want me to" ) Shayne says that his bride looks beautiful. Doris begins the ceremony. She's happy that everyone is there for Shayne and Dinah today. Doris says that they are ready to be each others best friends, confidantes, husband and wife. Shayne and Dinah both have vows. Shayne tells Dinah he wants to tell everyone that they love again how she saved his life. He was wreck in Germany when she found him. Dinah knows. Dinah taught him to live again. Since that day they have developed a relationship based on honesty and trust which is huge for him. Shayne always believed that you only get one love in this life. They both have had loves before and lost them. Dinah has taught Shayne that love doesn't die. Love goes on for the rest of our lives. Shayne promise to fight for that love to keep it going on. Dinah through tears tells Shayne that he never tried to change her which she appreciated more than anything. He accepted her. She is going to be the best person she can be from now on. She's going to deserve the love. She's such a lucky lucky woman to have found him. Doris asks if anyone has rings. Josh passes rings to Shayne. Doris holds off and tells Shayne to say after her. Shayne takes Dinah's hand and says with this ring I thee wed. Dinah looks at her wedding ring. Doris pronounces them husband and wife. Shayne may kiss his wife. Shayne kisses Dinah passionately as everyone cheers. Doris tells Ashlee that they are so happy. Doris hopes her daughter finds that type of happiness. Ashlee hopes the same thing for her mom. Reva and Josh are so happy for Shayne and Dinah. Josh hopes that Shayne and Dinah are as happy as they look. Shayne says happier. Shayne says that they should all head over to Towers. He doesn't want to tick off his new mother in law. Everyone leaves.

Reva and Josh watch as Shayne and Dinah hug each other close at Towers. Josh smiles saying they got something right this time. Reva says that they have good kids. Josh says that their son is happy. It shows you that you need to grab that type of love when you find it. Reva says that they are very lucky. Josh says sorry. Reva says she had it for a bit while she was married to Jeffrey. She hopes that Shayne and Dinah's love last longer.

Mallet sees Remy. Mallet is going to give Marina one more chance to confess. Remy tells Mallet to drop it. She was a mom protecting her kid. Mallet gets that but he's not sure if his wife is capable of telling the truth. The truth always catches up when you lie. It can wreck the life that you have. If Marina can't see that then she needs some mental help. Mallet walks over to Marina. Henry is doing good. Marina says that Mallet is such a good dad. Henry has all he needs right. Mallet thinks he may get a second job. Why? They are better off then most families. They can put money away for expenses later on. It's not as if Henry has some buried treasure right. Marina agrees. Mallet says that they need to talk outside now. Marina agrees.

Bill pulls up his wine glass and tells everyone he wants to make a toast to Shayne and Dinah. Bill is so happy for them that they found each other. They did it right. They had the good sense to realize that when you find the perfect person that you don't wait. You get it done. Shayne and Dinah laugh. Bill tells Shayne to take care of his sister. Bill loves them both very much. He wishes them all the happiness in the world.

Mallet and Marina are outside. Mallet thrusts the paper in Marina's face. What is this? It came in box from Edmund. The box she burned. She didn't burn it because it's money. Why did she hide it from him? Mallet was busy. She was going to show it to Jeffrey when she had the chance. Why is he so suspicious of her? Mallet wants the truth for all of them. Marina lashes out at her husband. Nothing has changed. No matter what she does. He still thinks that she killed John Doe. She's not lying about that. Marina was a cop once she knows how this looks. He has grilled her harder than any of his other suspects. He doesn't believe in her. Mallet pushes about the money. Marina runs away.

Dinah tells Shayne that she got Baked Alaska for their wedding. Is she going to light it? Dinah laughs. She's put that all behind her. She's an old married woman. Shayne disagrees with that. She's still his beautiful bride.

Mallet is outside when Remy finds him. Both are unaware that Dinah is standing above looking down at them. Mallet says he showed Marina the trust and she had no good excuse to hide it from him. Mallet wonders what else Marina has lied to him about. Marina could have done this for the money. Remy can't believe that Mallet believes that. Mallet says it doesn't look good. Remy again says that if Marina did it she saved all of them from Edmund. Mallet says he's going to bring Marina in for questioning. She needs to get help. He has to protect Henry. Mallet asks why Marina never told the truth. She would have saved everyone so much hurt.

Shayne is inside searching for his bride which give Josh and Billy a good chuckle. Looking for his wife. How does that sound? Shayne likes the sound of it. It feels good and right. Josh says that Dinah will be back.

Mallet is walking away when Dinah calls out to him. Dinah says Mallet can't do this. She heard him talking to Remy. He can't do this. Mallet tried to be happy. It's Dinah's wedding. She should go back to her husband and be happy. She wants to be happy but Mallet is making it damn hard. Dinah wants to deserve her happiness but she can't keep this secret anymore. Mallet can't turn in Marina because she didn't do it. Dinah did.

Jane's Take: Episode 15668, Thursday, May 7, 2009

2009-05-07T16:41:00.000-07:00

Reva takes Colin out for a drive and comes home to watch a soap opera.

James really surprised me when he showed up at Ravenwood and told the doctor that his dad had been MIA all weekend.

Sibling rivalry seems to be heating up, and Lizzie and Beth are totally clueless about it. I think it is time to get Phillip released. I'm tired of Ravenwood stories.

--------------------

I was relieved that it was an attempt (lame) to get Phillip out, while making me think James was turning on his dad. Those sneaky writers!

Alan is overbearing with Lizzie, but I was glad to see Lizzie stand up to him! And glad to see Bill supporting Lizzie's decision!

Phillip's scene with the doctor was interesting. He certainly seems to be sane, so I have to wonder why that doctor is keeping him there. You would think she would talk to other family members, not just go by the incident that Alan clearly provoked, before deciding he needs to be locked up. What authority does she have to do this anyway?

Josh is being kind of weird, but we know he is correct in believing Edmund is on the loose and a danger, so I'll accept his weirdness as being protective of those he loves.

Lillian and Buzz stop by to see the baby! Yeah! and a mysterious gift left on the doorstep was promptly ignored. Could it be a bomb? (I really doubt it, but it could be from Edmund)

Blake and Frank are together at Reva's! Then Josh and Billy stop by. What fun!

Reva starts to open the mysterious present and Josh freaks out and grabs it and drops it! Reva looks like, WTF!

I can't believe Jeffrey isn't checking up on Roc. What an idiot! I thought he was such a supper agent.

I'm glad to see Lizzie talk to the doctor in support of her dad, but I don't get why this doctor has such authority to keep Phillip locked up against his will.

Lizzie calls her mom and says there could be trouble at the house. Then Alan comes in and Phillip is home! And as sane as anyone else.

Alan says, How can that be? Phillip says they have a lot to work out. For the sake of the family!

Beth and James come in. Phillip thanks James for speaking ukp on his behalf.

Frank thinks that Josh seems a little wacked and Billy tells everyone to go home and let Reva rest.

Josh says he is sorry. Reva is worried about him. Josh tells Jeffrey to keep an eye on her and call if they need anything. Reva looks worried. Jeffrey says he thinks it was a mistake to send Josh after Edmund because Josh doesn't realize the case is closed. He can't let it go.

At the Spaulding's, they toast to Lizzie and Bill's engagement! A lovely toast. Alan has his head in his hand. He is exasperated.

Billy walks in Josh's office and asks if he is OK. Josh says he is here at work, but he can't shake the feeling that Edmund is a threat. Billy doesn't want him to hunt Edmund down by himself. Billy leaves, and Josh pulls out another fax threatening Reva, from Guess Who. Why didn't he show that fax to Frank and Jeffrey???

Jeffrey finally seems a little suspicious of the ugly little gift from Guess Who. Reva assures him it is from Hawk.

Alan has a headache and Lizzie gives him some aspirin, Alan looks at is suspiciously, but he takes the pill.

Phillip and James are taking a walk on the Spaulding grounds. James says forget it. Go back inside and be father of the bride. James walks away. He turns around and calls to his Dad, but Phillip doesn't respond.

Previews look good!

Olivia and Natalia are squabbling in their hotel room. Natalia is ticked off at Olivia for making fun of her religion. Olivia tries to explain she was joking. They were there to figure out if they were more than friends now they are worse off then before. They are back to fighting. Olivia agrees that it's all a mistake. Olivia takes the bag by the door. Olivia must have a grand time knowing everything. Olivia says it's far from that. She doesn't know it all. It's just safer this way. If they do become close then they have to figure out what is next. Natalia knows. Olivia and Natalia both realize that they don't want to leave. They want to start their weekend over.

Olivia and Natalia are hiking outside. Natalia can barely keep up. She's not really an outdoorsey woman. She had to go to the park once with Rafe when he was a kid. There was poison ivy everywhere. It was disgusting. Olivia chuckles. Natalia is surprised Olivia is such a nature woman. Olivia says she grew up on an Island. She also was married to Josh Lewis. The Lewis family is all very with nature. Olivia and Natalia continue to walk. Olivia is a woman of all seasons. Natalia admits she broke a sweat walking. Olivia says good now they can race back to the lodge. She will even give Natalia a head start. Natalia tells Olivia to wait as they take off.

After their hectic day, Olivia and Natalia spend the day in the spa. They return to their room. They can order some lunch then figure out what they want to do tonight together. Olivia jokes about a midnight hike. Natalia groans. Olivia suggests that Natalia figure out lunch. Just then there is a knock at the door. Emma rushes and greets her two mommies. Did Emma run away again? Jane is downstairs. Emma missed them both so much. Natalia hugs Emma and looks at Olivia standing by the door.

Olivia and Natalia chat with Emma. They agree to let her stay. Jane has her bag outside. Emma can go tell Jane the news. The ladies can have a movie night in along with their favorite desserts. Olivia tells Natalia that not many people would let a kid crash their date. She's pretty special. Olivia knows.

Olivia and Natalia chat as Emma chooses a movie. Natalia says they were probably moving too fast. They almost lost them as a couple because of it. They are friends and are a family. They both do not want to lose that. Olivia says that they need to figure out what they are eventually. They can keep their lives hanging in the balance. Natalia and Olivia join Emma on the bed to watch a movie.

Shayne Dinah

Dinah continues to read the DNA results as Shayne looks over at her. He asks her again what is wrong. Dinah says that Shayne needs to read this. She passes him the results. She needed to be sure for all their sakes before she told him the truth. Dinah questions if Shayne remembers when they were in Bosnia and the nun showed up. The nun told Dinah a pretty shocking story as they were looking at Lara's grave. Lara gave birth to a baby boy before she died. The same baby boy that Dinah helped Marina and Mallet adopt. Henry is Shayne's son.

Shayne gets up and starts to get dressed. Dinah looks at him. Nobody knows about this. Edmund had no clue. Shayne says that he would have known that Lara had given birth. Dinah says that the results are right there. She took a piece of his hair and Henry's pacifier to the DNA lab to make sure. Shayne says there must be a mistake. Dinah says it's all right there. Mallet and Marina's son Henry is Shayne's biological son.

Marina plays with Henry outside of Company. She says that someone pretty special had to decide to let her be his mom. Henry is the best thing that has ever happened to her. He is her little angel.

Shayne sits down on the bed. Dinah sits across from him. Dinah says that nobody had a clue that Lara had given birth not even Edmund. Dinah says of all the chances that the baby that she helped them adopt turned out to be Shayne's son. Dinah asks Shayne to say something. Shayne says that it's Lara's son. Is he angry at Dinah for not telling him the truth sooner? Shayne get why she did. Dinah was so worried that Shayne was going to shut her out. She knows this news is going to hurt Mallet and Marina when he tells them. Shayne looks at Dinah. Shayne is not going to tell Mallet and Marina anything. Shayne may be Henry's biological father but that is it. Henry has a father whose name is Mallet. Mallet and Marina are Henry's parents. This changes nothing. It has to stay this way. Dinah is shocked.

Marina and Christina are about to take Henry for a walk when Josh shows up. Josh remarks that Marina's son has gotten big. Marina tells Josh there is free coffee inside. Buzz is back to work finally. Marina and Christina are taking Henry to the park. Josh says that Marina will be a great baseball coach for Henry. Christina looks at Marina. Marina was Shayne's coach years ago. Josh heads inside. Christina says that Josh seems nice. All the Lewis clan is nice. It's easy to like them.

Dinah and Shayne walk around the gazebo. Shayne tries to chit chat but Dinah cuts through the bs. He doesn't have act likethis doesn't hurt. He doesn't have to act as if his son doesn't exist. Shayne says that he is in no position to be a dad. Just a couple of months ago he just about killed himself. Dinah says that he is a dad now. Shayne says he's not dad material. He's seen a great dad in Josh. Shayne could never be like his father. Dinah says that is hogwash. Shayne is an incredible father. He's incredible with kids. Shayne will not take Henry away from the only parents he has ever known. Dinah wishes her real parents had rescued her when she was little. Shayne says that may have been her parents but Mallet and Marina are good parents. Shayne tells Dinah to please drop this. Shayne and Dinah start to leave but run into Marina, Christina and Henry.

It's awkward to say the least. Dinah can sense the struggle in Shayne. Marina asks about how Florida was. It was wonderful. Marina would be jealous but she loves being Henry's mom. Shayne says that Henry has very fun parents. Marina says that Henry is a blessing. She can not imagine a day without her son. She would have no clue what she would do. Shayne and Dinah take that as their cue to leave. Marina suggests heading back to Company for free lunch. Remy is there. Dinah perks up and agrees. Shayne can never pass on a free lunch. Marina suggests that Shayne carry Henry's car seat. Shayne agrees. Dinah can see the awkwardness. All leave to head back to Company.

Dinah and Shayne are at Company. Marina asks Dinah to hold Henry for a moment. She wants to take a picture of Buzz working again. Dinah agrees. Shayne looks at her. Marina then takes a quick picture of Shayne, Dinah and Henry surprising all of them. Marina then wants to take a picture of Henry and Shayne. Shayne tries to decline but Marina is insistent. Shayne smiles looking at his son then awkwardly hands Henry back to Marina. Dinah notices the tension.

Later Dinah and Shayne turn to leave. Marina is glad that they stopped by. Marina says that they are lucky to have Shayne and Dinah in their lives. Shayne says actually it's the other way around. Shayne and Dinah walk outside. Where does he want to go? Shayne says actually he needs to have some down time alone. Is she o.k. with that? Dinah is fine. Shayne will see Dinah later. Shayne and Dinah kiss. Shayne leaves. He walks over ot his car and sits down. He looks at the picture of himself and his son.

Olivia and Emma are talking about her trip with Natalia. Emma wants to come along. Olivia says that she has a field trip right. She's been looking forward to it for a bit. Emma asks since Natalia is not marrying Frank does that mean they can finally move back to the farmhouse. Olivia says no then kisses her daughter on the head.

Later Natalia shows up with a ton of bags. She's not sure what to bring for their trip. Olivia says that they are going to be enjoying spa treatments so they will be in robes most of the time. Robes? They have to wear other stuff right. Olivia says of course. Natalia is not sure about the spa treatments. She's never done that before. Olivia tells Natalia to calm down and not to be so nervous. They are just a pair of friends going away together. Whether anything happens or not is fine. Olivia takes Natalia's bag and leaves.

Olivia and Natalia arrive at the spa. The manager says that he got this room for them since the Beacon has been so good to them. Olivia smiles and promises to return the favor. Olivia says if Natalia likes this room then Olivia will take the other one. The manager says sorry but there is not another room. There is only one room available. A person usually has to book a room months in advance. They had to move heaven and earth to get this one room for them. Natalia squeaks one room. Olivia looks at her.

Olivia and Natalia are smelling the spa goodies. Natalia smeels the cream on Olivia's wrist. Just then there is a knock at the door. It's Blake. She always comes to this spa. It's her favorite place. When she saw that Olivia's name was on for a facial, she decided to stop by and say hello. Blake then sees Natalia. Blake tells Natalia she was a fool. She screwed up big time... with Frank. She can still fix it if she wants. Natalia looks at Olivia.

Later the three ladies are enjoying their spa treatments. Natalia again explains to Blake that it wasn't right marrying a man she didn't truly love. Blake understands that. You have to be with a person for the right reasons. She got it right once with Ross. Blake then asks if Olivia is seeing anyone. Olivia looks at Natalia says she's not really looking right now. Blake says that is fine Olivia always finds someone. Blake loves this girl's day at the spa together.

Later in their room, Natalia questions if Olivia is alright about all the Frank talk. Olivia says that Blake is just lonely. Natalia wanted to tell her the truth about them being there as a couple. Olivia quesitons why she didn't. Natalia goes into this big speech about what people think and Olivia is ticked off. She then says maybe they shouldn't have done this together. They should just leave. Olivia and Natalia are furious with each other as they pack their bags to leave.

Shayne Dinah

Dinah arrives at Cedars wanting to find out the results from the DNA test. Remy shows up and surprises her. He wants to know as well. Dinah tells him to pipe down. Shayne is at the hospital as well. She is going to tell him right. She will. Shayne walks up and questions about telling him what. Remy and Christina want to spend more time with Shayne and Dinah after Florida. Shayne would like that. They are there to see how Reva is doing. Dinah says how wonderful Shayne is in her life. Is Dinah o.k.? She's fine. She's perfect now that he's in her life. Everything is perfect the way it is.

Shayne, Dinah and Remy wait in the hospital when Lillian comes out. They can go and see Reva in a minute. Shayne leaves. Remy looks at Dinah. Dinah says that Henry already has two parents that love him very much. He's a good dad. Shayne would be a good father as well. Dinah knows that. Remy leaves.

Shayne and Dinah tell Reva about saying goodbye to Lara in Bosnia. Shayne says he was stuck between his past and his future but he is not now. Reva thanks Dinah for being there for her son. Shayne says that Dinah was great. He thought it would be too much for her. Dinah says she's fine. Shayne explains that he's only had one more dream since. Dinah is puzzled. Shayne tells her that Lara said that Dinah would be there for him. Shayne realizes that he needed to go to get some peace. Dinah will fix it. Reva remarks that Shayne is a pretty nice problem. Dinah agrees. She's going to go and grab a coffee. She didn't sleep much. Reva again thanks Dinah for making Shayne so happy. Dinah says that Shayne does the same thing for her. Dinah leaves. Shayne warns Reva about not bringing out the family pictures. Reva says it's a mother's perogative to embarass her son. Dinah walks outside and stands for a second. She loves Henry but she hopes like heck he is not Shayne's son.

Shayne helps Reva get into her bed. Reva explains that if Josh and her had told Jeffrey the truth he would have gone and killed Edmund. Josh did all the secret agent stuff. He came through for her like always. Shayne can't help but wish his parents were together. He knows that Reva loves Jeffrey. Shayne says that if he wanted a team of good guys together. Josh would be at the top of the list. Reva is all excited about the team concept and suggests a Lewis Cooper showdown during the Thanksgiving touchfootball game this year. A nurse walks in and says they need Reva's blood. Shayne says that is his cue. Shayne leaves.

Dinah walks up to the DNA tech. He has the DNA results for her. Dinah looks at the envelope. She really doesn't want to know the truth. Mallet and Marina are so happy being parents to Henry. Shayne and Dinah are happy with their lives. It's all good the way it is. Dinah leaves.

Dinah is sitting alone in the bench at the Gazebo. The worry is obvious on her face about the results. Remy walks by and stops to talk with her. Is she alright? She has the results. Is Shayne Henry's father? Dinah hasn't looked at them yet. She will give him a call when she has. Remy tries to reassure Dinah that everything will be fine. Shayne walks up and sees Dinah sitting. Is she alright? Clearly the coffee didn't help. Dinah brushes the tears aside. She's just tired. She just wants to go home and sleep. Shayne asks if he should come or not. Dinah will never be sick of him. She just wishes everything could stay the way it is right now. Shayne and Dinah leave.

Later Shayne is giving Dinah a massage. She's full of knots and tension. The trip was supposed to relax her. Dinah again hugs and kisses Shayne. She doesn't want to lose the life they have together. Shayne and Dinah kiss then make love.

After making love, Dinah kisses a sleeping Shayne. Dinah gets up and puts her robe on. She walks over and opens the envelope trying not to stir a sleeping Shayne. Dinah is in tears as she reads the results. Shayne wakes up and looks at her with the tears falling down her face. With concern in his voice he asks her what is wrong.

Olivia and Natalia are by Frank's side as he's resting by the bed. Frank not really sleeping as he watches the closeness between Olivia and Natalia. Natalia decides to go find the doctor. Frank decides it's time to leave. Olivia tries to reason from him but Frank glares at her. She's the last person he wants to talk to. Frank leaves and Olivia follows him. Olivia tells Frank to wait.

Natalia walks around when Doris comes in. Doris is concerned about her constituent. Doris' bodyguards really did a number on Frank. Doris is just worried about a lawsuit. Natalia clues in and asks why Doris' bodyguards would do that. Frank was drunk and belidgerent with her. What was the fight about? Doris says it was about Natalia's feelings for Olivia. Doris leaves.

Frank looks at Olivia. The blinders are off. He lashes out at Olivia for manipulating Natalia. He doesn't blame Natalia for this. He blames Olivia for being a viper who is preying on Natalia's innocence. Olivia couldn't have Gus so she went after his wife. She couldn't handle seeing Natalia happy with Frank. Natalia who has been eavesdropping steps in and tells Frank to back off. If he wants to be ticked off anyone, he can turn his venom towards her not Olivia.

Olivia, Natalia and Frank walk into a hospital room. Olivia says that Frank just needs to calm down and relax. Frank figured there was a reason why Natalia ran out on their wedding. He assumed it was him not Olivia. She sunk her claws into Natalia and manipulated her. Natalia tells Frank to be quiet. Does he really think she can be manipulated that easily? If he does then he doesn't know her at all. She never saw this relationship coming with Olivia. She had planned on marrying Frank but it would have been a lie. She couldn't do that to either of them. The feelings and relationship she has with Olivia is very real. Frank has to let go of her and move on. Frank questions what this relationship is. They are both not sure right now. There are a lot of words they could call it. Natalia knows that she and Frank would have regretted it if they had gotten married. Frank says he always thought it was him that was the problem. He was wrong this time. It was them. Natalia tells Frank she never meant to hurt him. Frank says sorry it's a little too late. Frank leaves. Natalia cries at the door as Olivia holds her close.

Frank waits for Natalia at Company. Natalia arrives. Shes sorry she was late. Frank wants to hear the rest of the pizza story. Natalia laughs and says it was as running joke. Frank says the can always do their date another time. Frank asks how Emma is and Natalia becomes frazzled. Its a long complicated story. Emma is tough. She will make it through this. Natalia says that Frank is such a great guy. Hes one of the best guys out there.

Olivia is at Towers drowning her sorrows in martinis and men. A man walks over and offers to put the drink on his tab for her. If she doesnt object. She doesnt. Shes Olivia what is his name?

Frank and Natalia drink a glass of wine at Company. He takes really good care of her. She has no clue what she did to deserve it. Hes been the most amazing friend to her. He could have run the other direction with all of Rafes problems. Frank says he wanted to help out more. He wanted to do something. Hes always stood by her and supported her. She hopes he doesnt regret it in the future. Frank says in fact he wants to do a huge party for Rafe when hes released from prison. Frank asks why Natalia is so down. Nothing. She shouldnt say this but she wishes she wasnt always so tough and strong with her kids. She wishes she could get away from everything. Frank say he has an idea. Hes just going to throw it out there. He has a friend with a time share in the mountains. Hes been bugging Frank to use it. Frank and Natalia could go up together. Frank says thats probably a bad idea. Natalia says no. It sounds perfect. She would love to go away with him. It would all work out perfectly then.

Olivia flirts with the man at Towers. He probably flirts with all the ladies. He offers another martini. Olivia says no. Shes had enough in fact she should head home. He could come with her. The guy says he has a business meeting in the morning. He could take her number though. Olivia starts to write but thinks of Natalia. Actually she cant do that. Shes living with someone right now. It wouldnt be right. The guy says that the man who lives with Olivia is very lucky. He leaves and Olivia shakes her head.

Shayne and Dinah kiss by the pool. Shayne is going to go get them a pair of drinks. Dinah walks over and sits down beside Remy who is glowering. What is up with him? Christina dumped him. Dinah quesitons what he did to screw up. Remy looks at her. He did nothing. Dinah is nervous about the DNA test. She wishes she had never got them. It will change everything if Shayne turns out to be Henry's father. Dinah is going to tell him the truth if he is Henry's father. Dinah says that everything is going so well right now. Dinah and Shayne are happy. Mallet and Marina love that little boy. The DNA test could change everything. Dinah and Remy continue to talk as Shayne brings the drinks over. He asks what is wrong. Dinah is just questioning about the calories in the drink. Shayne smirks after the cotton candy and corn dog yesterday. She's probably fine. More than fine. Remy gets up when he sees Christina across the way. Christina has her bags packed and is leaving. Remy tells Christina not to leave. Christina says she's going to so he can have someone more fun to be with.

[ Missing - Remy tries to convince Christina to stay. She's irritated at him. She wants a fight. He'll give her one. Remy tosses Christina's bag into the water. She's furious. He tells her to get it if she wants. She can't. She doesn't have a swimsuit. He can get it instead. She pushes him into the water.]

Dinah and Shayne watch as Remy tries to fish Christina's bag out of the water. Remy doesn't want Christina to leave. He wants to make it up to her. He can try. Remy does a beautiful speech about why Christina is so wonderful to him. Christina kisses Remy and they fall into the water together.

Shayne & Dinah

Reva is finally back at Cedars but she's worried about Colin. Jeffrey says Colin is fine. In face he can go home today. Jeffrey is more concerned about his wife. He wants to know where the doctor is to check up on her. She could have been killed trying to save Colin. Why did Josh just leave her like this?

Josh is outside with Roc. Josh stresses that Jeffrey has to kept in the dark about what they are doing to Edmund. He has a very sick wife and a little baby to take care of. Roc says he's going to enjoy this job very much. Edmund is not going to be dead but he is going to wish it. Roc is taking Edmund to St. Helena's Island. It's a perfect place. An island in the middle of the ocean. Edmund pulls off his muzzle and glares at Josh. How can Reverend Lewis justify what he's doing to Edmund? Shayne killed Lara. The Lewis clan has been lying to him from the get go. They are worse then Edmund could ever be. Edmund says the day of redemption is coming. Where will Josh be? Josh replaces the muzzle and closes the door. Roc leaves with Edmund. Josh puts back on his glasses and gloves.

Shayne and Dinah arrive at the park. Dinah thinks she never should have let Shayne leave the hospital. He should go back. Shayne says he's fine. It's a beautiful day. They are both doing fine. He thanks her for risking her life to save him. Dinah says he did that for her before. Shayne questions what that is called when you risk your lives for each other. Dinah says insanity. Shayne and Dinah kiss before Dinah falls off the swing into the snow.

Colin says it's a miracle that Reva is even living considering she risked her life to save Colin. Reva would do it again. Over Jeffrey's dead body. Jeffrey is itching to get out there to take care of Edmund. Reva tries to reason with Jeffrey. He has to take care of Colin in case.... Jeffrey doesn't want to hear the negative talk. She is going to beat this thing then be a mother to Colin. Jeffrey jokes that he'll hit Edmund with the car but promise to clean up the mess. Reva says that is not a joke. He needs to be a husband and a dad. He's not the black operative anymore. Jeffrey questions when it happened that he became like Josh. On cue, Josh enters. Jeffrey questions if he's missing something.

Shayne and Dinah continue to flirt. Shayne says his head is fine but his ego and pride might be a bit bruised. He says it's fine that a woman rescued him. Dinah says that there is nothing wrong with him believing that Edmund could change because of Lara's love. Shayne says that he was naive. She can tell him that. She won't do that. Shayne questions about what happened to Lara and the baby. He does blame himself. Dinah tells him not to do that. It was an accident. Edmund just twisted it in his mind to be more ugly. Doesn't make it true.Shayne says that he's naive for believing in Edmund and she's naive for believing in him. Dinah and naive? That's a different combo.

effrey looks at Josh and Reva. He's finally put the pieces together and why Reva stayed at the house a bit longer. Josh says it was his idea. Edmund was there the whole time? He's gone. Roc took care of him. Jeffrey questions saying that is his job. Josh says wrong. Jeffrey's job is to take care of his family. Jeffrey can't go after Edmund and kill him. If he goes to trial or worse, he'll leave a very sick wife and infant son. Josh has taken care of it. Jeffrey says fine Josh can become the black operative but Jeffrey still gets to keep Reva. Just then Dinah and Shayne arrive to see that the patient is doing fine.

Reva and Jeffrey chat. Jeffrey still can't figure out when he became the doting wife with the sweet wife and kid. Reva says heck no to the sweet wife idea. Jeffrey laughs. There is his wife. Jeffrey needs to take care of Colin. He can rely on other people. It's fine to do that. Josh watches the close exchange from outside the window as he leaves.

Shayne and Dinah kiss and flirt in her hotel room. They should not be playing. He should be resting in the hospital. Dinah agrees though that she should remove his shirt just to make sure that he's fine. Shayne smirks. A lot has changed since they met that day in Germany. How did such a beautiful woman who was lost fall for the guy in the wheelchair? Dinah laughs that she must be a glutton for punishment. They actually turned out to be really good for each other. Shayne tells Dinah that she made him want to live again. She says he gave her a reason to believe in herself again.

Reva talks though the intercom to Jeffrey and Colin outside her hospital room. She wishes she was home but she has to stay and fight the cancer. He has to get to diaper duty. She has faith in both of her guys. Jeffrey will get the webcam back up so she can watch them 24/7. Jeffrey takes Colin home as Josh watches over them. Josh puts his black sunglasses back on.

Father Ray remarks that the wedding seems sudden. Natalia says she promised Frank she would marry him when Rafe came home. He's home now. She can't wait for them to be a family. Can Father Ray rearrange his schedule to do the ceremony? He can do that. It's as good as time as any to do counselling then. Frank says it should be easy since him and Natalia want the same things. Father Ray says issues will come up. What does marriage mean to them? To stand up in front of family and friends and say that you want to spend your life with this person. They have both been ready for this for a long time. They are a perfect fit. Father Ray looks at both of them and asks are they ready to say forever and forsake all others? Natalia looks back at him.

This marriage is what Natalia wants. Olivia wants what makes Natalia happy. She's glad that Natalia was a part of her life.

Father Ray says that Natalia and Frank are a perfect match. Frank agrees with that asessment though he got some pretty good coaching from Olivia on what Natalia loved. Olivia has been a great friend.

Why is he always the guy without the date on Valentines? He's got a shot at happiness with Natalia and he's going to take it today. Buzz asks why his bride didn't want to see the wedding rings. Frank questions why it's so hard for his father to be happy for him.

Olivia explains she was just putting fresh flowers on Gus' grave. They have a contract with the park and she's not sure they are keeping up on their end. She wanted to say goodbye to him and also to her life with Natalia. Natalia wanted to do the same thing. Olivia says that is why it's so good they are moving on. They are both thinking the same things. Next they will be fighting over the remote like an old married... Olivia stops. Olivia can't stop crying and Natalia pushes her asking what is wrong.

Olivia won't let Doris' secret out that she can be nice sometimes. Olivia says she doesn't care how it happened but it makes Natalia happy which is the main thing. Doris questions why Olivia is letting Natalia marry Frank when it's cleary not what Olivia wants. It's what Natalia wants which is what matters. Does Natalia have any clue that Olivia cares for her? Olivia is taken aback and says she hasn't come right out and said it but Natalia does understand. At least Olivia thinks she does. Doris tells Olivia that she has to stop the wedding. It's the right thing to do.

Upstairs Rafe and Emma chat about the wedding. Emma is sad. She guesses this means they will not be brother and sister. Rafe says no but they will be good friends. Emma likes that idea. Rafe then heads downstairs and finds Frank and Natalia talking. Rafe gives Frank Gus' badge. He tells him that he wants Frank to have it. Frank is beyond touched but can't do that. Rafe says he can provided he takes care of Natalia. Frank will. He will never try to replace Gus. Gus was family and close. Frank just wants to be there and help out with their family. They can all do this together. Natalia is all teary eyed and Rafe tries to calm his mother down. Olivia enters and Natalia tells her what Rafe did. Emma walks downstairs in her flower girl dress. Natalia decides that after all they will do the wedding later today in fact. Frank will definitely clear his schedule for that. Natalia asks Olivia to be her maid of honor. Olivia fighting back tears agrees.

Charleyfan Edmund/Reva/Shayne/Dinah Clips

Jeffrey is trying to calm down an agitated Reva at Cedars. Shayne will be fine. He has Josh and Dinah watching out for him. Colin only has them to take care of him. He needs his parents. Reva needs to rest and fight the cancer. Reva says fine but Jeffrey has to take care of both of her sons. Jeffrey again tries to reason with Reva but it's no go.

Josh and Dinah are at Pharley's. Dinah is worried because she has not heard from Shayne for a bit. Josh says he may have gone home. He could be waiting at Dinah's place to surprise her. Dinah asks where the black op is that Jeffrey hired. Josh says that Roc has dealt with Edmund before which is good. Josh will go track him down. Josh reassures Dinah that Shayne will be fine.

Shayne arrives and realizes it's the wrong time for the photoshoot. Shayne can still see that Edmund is hurt about Lara's death. Shayne will have to live with the knowledge that Lara was pregnant when she was killed. Edmund told Shayne he was fine with the news. Edmund glares and walks closer. It's clear he's not at all fine with the new developments.

Josh attempts to call Roc. He wants news on where Edmund is. Josh looks over and sees Roc laying on the ground. Roc very wobbly gets up saying he was knocked unconcious by Edmund. Josh is visibly worried.

Dinah arrives at Company. Again she tries to call Shayne. Billy sees her worried and asks if she lost her boyfriend. Dinah says she's sure he's fine. It's just been a long day. She's just worried about Shayne with Edmund out there. Dinah tries her voice mail and finds out that Shayne is at the photoshoot with Edmund. It's the reason he'll be late. Dinah is visibly worried.

Edmund is furious that Shayne took the one bright spot in his life away from him. Edmund was under the delusion that Shayne actually cared about his daughter. Lara was such a wonderful woman. She didn't judge Edmund on the man he was before. She saw the man he wanted to become. Shayne took that away. Shayne is taken aback. Edmund is trying to suggest that Shayne didn't care for Lara. Shayne loved Lara. He will always have to live with her death but it was an accident. Shayne realizes how dangerous Edmund is and tries to leave. Edmund says so all is fine with Shayne now. He can move on with his life with Dinah. Shayne questions why Edmund is so mad. Edmund says that Shayne is a better liar then he gave him credit for. Shayne says that he's going to leave. They can talk about Lara later. Edmund says wrong. They are going to talk about Lara now.

Reva and Jeffrey are sitting together when Lillian comes in. Is there any word on Colin? No answer yet. He's probably with Dinah right now. Jeffrey promises to go find out what is up with Shayne. Jeffrey runs into Josh at Cedars. Josh was not going to go see Reva. Actually he just brought Roc there. Edmund knocked him out cold. Dinah hasn't heard from Shayne. Reva walks out. Josh and Jeffrey tell Reva to go to bed. They will go find Shayne she needs to rest. Reva says they have to stop protecting her and protect her sons. They are in danger from Edmund. He's dangerous especially if he feels that someone is watching him. Josh and Jeffrey will take care of it. Josh says that Shayne was supposed to do a photoshoot down on 5th Stree they can start there.

Shayne tries to reason with Edmund that he was lost for a long time after Lara died. Shayne went into an active mine field and tried to kill himself he was so lost. Shayne realized it was not what Lara wanted. Shayne has no clue what Lara wanted. Shayne is getting ticked off at Edmund suggesting he didn't love Lara. Edmund says that Shayne took the most precious part of his life away. Just then the photographer enters. He's suprised to see them there. They can do the shoot now. Shayne says that it's kind of busy right now. The photographer says there is a phonecall for Shayne. It's Dinah. She asks cryptically if Edmund is there and acting a bit freaky. Shayne agrees unaware that Edmund is listening to the conversation. Dinah tells Shayne to leave. She'll meet him at the ballpark later on. Shayne heads back into the room and leaves. Edmund lashes out and breaks the phone.

Josh and Jeffrey arrive at the studio to see the aftermath of Edmund. Josh hands his card over. He'll fix the damages. Where do they go next? Jeffrey suggests the alleyway. He can have a crew scour the area for clues.

Shayne arrives at the ballfield. He calls out for Dinah. He knows she is there. He saw her car there. He has some burgers for her. Shayne gasps when he finds Edmund with his arm tight around Dinah's neck as he's brandishing a baseball bat. Shayne tells Edmund to let Dinah go. Edmund can't do that. Dinah saved him right when he blew Lara up into little bits. Dinah tells Edmund to shut up. Edmund says there is his little ray of sunshine. Dinah kicks Edmund and gets away. Shayne lunges at Edmund but is knocked out cold when Edmund hits him with the bat. Dinah rushes to Shayne and asks what the heck Edmund did.

Reva and Billy are eating pie at Cedars while they wait for news about Shayne. Billy was called in by Jeffrey in case Reva tried to make a break for it. Lillian walks in and says Colin is fine. He's got a pair of lungs on him. Wonder where he got that from? Reva says she has one especially when she doesn't get her way. She wants news on Shayne. Lilian will go make the call.

Josh and Jeffrey continue to search for clues. There is nothing at the alley way. They get a phone call from Lillian. They haven't found Shayne yet. They will call back when they check out a couple more places. Josh suggest heading back to his office to see if Edmund has been there.

Dinah is tending to a hurt Shayne. Shayne tells Dinah to run. Dinah tells Edmund he could have killed Shayne. Is that what he wanted? It wouldn't have brought Lara back. Nothing will do that. Edmund is not the man now that his daughter loved. Edmund leaves after that statement. Dinah phones Cedars asking for help saying that here has been an accident at the ball park. Josh and Jeffrey walk up. Josh is visibly worried at seeing an injured Shayne. Shayne says he's fine. Dinah tells Jeffrey that Edmund hit Shayne over the head with a bat. He's dangerous. Jeffrey says that sounds like Shayne. Jeffrey realizes that Reva and Colin are in danger now.

Reva is asleep at Cedars as a figure looms over her. Colin is in the nursery when a figure walks up thim. The figure behind the mask is Edmund with a devilish grin.

Preview:

Buzz questions if Natalia is having doubts about marrying Frank. Josh and Jeffrey discover that both Reva and Colin are missing. Edmund is about to leave Springfield with Colin in a car seat when Reva opens the door. She wants her son back and now.

Pay Back

Cute scene with Jeffrey, Reva, and the wet baby Henry! Now Natalia and Olivia, looking at photos. Natalia tells Liv, she is so beautiful. Nat took the photo, not Ashley. Bill is at the mansion acting like he doesn't know who Hilda is. Hilda is confused. Lizzie and Bill are continuing their charade. I find it pretty boring. Hilda has been with the Spauldings for 10 years (future trivia question!). After they explain it to her, Hilda says she is just trying to help, and warns, No kissing on the second date, that's what Hilda's mom always told her. Dinah is yelling at Frank to make him arrest Dinah. He just wants a statement. Then she gets to go home and he will call her back in. She won't leave until he arrests her. (Dinah really needs a lawyer. I don't understand why Shayne doesn't mention that! He seems amused.)

Only Love can save the world!

Dinah makes a big scene and Frank finally arrests her for disturbing the peace. Shayne laughs. I didn't enjoy that scene. It was stupid. Lizzie and Bill on their 2nd date isn't much better. She says she is into Karate. He takes a call. Dinah was arrested. He can't come down to the station because he is on a date. They stop the date while Bill explains it was Frank. Lizzie doesn't want to think about the kidnapping anymore. They can't keep the world from crashing down on them, she says, but Bill says they can build a moat. Tomorrow is her dads trial. He is going to tell Frank they can't help him out. Josh gave Jeffrey a master class in diapering. Reva and Jeffrey are babysitting. Josh asks how she is feeling. Reva says one day at a time. They are monitoring baby growth daily and will have the c-section as soon as big enough. Josh leaves a gift. Call if you need anything. Reva says Thanks Josh. They are alone, Reva says she is the babysitter and Jeffrey is the boyfriend who came over for a visit. Blake! Blake talks to Frank about this woman and tries to fix Frank up with her. He already has one of those. Blake wants to know who and so he won't tell her. She is a lucky girl, whoever she is. Natalia finds the website Olivia was looking at, looking for a place to live. If Nat and Frank get married, they would be in the way. If Nat says yes, Liv wants to be prepared. Nat can't tell her what to do. Olivia leaves to look at a great place. Blake is going to show it to her. Natalia is upset. Liv asks her not to be so sad. Liv says she will always be her family, just in a different way, but she'll have Frank and his family. Natalia looks devastated.

Blake and Liv meet at Company. Natalia comes to the jail and finds Dinah in jail for disturbing the peace. She is bitching about not being able to pay for the bad thing she did. Nat says that actions have consequences. She wants to be the woman who is good enough to be Mallet and Marina's friend. Like going to confession without all the candles. Nat says she will light a candle for her. Dinah asks if Shayne was out there. No one was out there. Dinah says so much for "I'll be there." Reva and Jeffrey look at the baby and talk about their baby. Knock at the door and Shayne comes in. He is there for Jeffrey because Dinah needs a lawyer. Jeffrey says he is babysitting. Reva asks what is going on. She says he is grounded and can't play with Dinah any more. Shayne tells Jeffrey she is down at the station making things worse for herself by the minute. He trades babysitting hours to get Jeffrey to save Dinah from herself, as Reva says. Hilda shows up at Company saying the police are looking for Mr. Lewis and they might not answer the phone, so she brought the message. She loves Miss Dinah so much, no matter what she does Hilda falls in love all over again. Hilda got across the moat.

Lizzie tries to get Bill to go to the police station and deal with the Dinah situation, tomorrow the trial, then they build a moat. They can do this. Nothing is ever simple when Dinah is involved. He doesn't have a white horse, but he has a dog and a credit card, and she feels better already. Dinah is not happy to see Jeffrey and Shayne. Charges have not been field. Shayne talks to her. Jeffrey leaves. Natalia shows up at M&M's where Reva is babysitting. Natalia brings a casserole because they don't have much time to cook. Nat says she should have some and Reva says great! I'm feeling peckish. Nat is trying to get a feeling of being a part of their family. They are a great family. That is one of the things she loves most. Reva makes her admit she is dating Frank. Frank is a great guy, who deserves a woman like her who cooks for him and appreciates him. Nat asks Reva not to say anything, they are trying to keep it low key. Olivia and Josh at Towers. She is flirting with him. He says Reva and he don't fight anymore. Olivia says you can't count on anything. He remembers her rolling olives around in her mouth. How could she forget. She takes his drink and says he is looking for trouble. He says how about you. She says yes. Be careful. You just may find it. (Hot scene!)

Bill and Lizzie show up. Frank sends them back to the jail. Frank wants to know what they want to do. Lizzie wants it behind her. Frank says go talk to Jeffrey O'Neil and come back and let him know. Frank calls Reva to see how things are going, she says she needs him now. Reva asks Nat to babysit and heads to the station because Jeffrey needs help. Liv and Josh are footloose and fancy free, but Josh says he doesn't believe her. Why is she here. He really knows her. He wants to cut her off when she talks about marriage being simple. Lizzie says she will not file charges. She won't serve any time. Bill says what happens to Dinah is of no concern to him. Jeffrey leaves. Dinah still won't leave. Lizzie comes back to talk to Dinah and sends Shayne out to talk to Bill. Lizzie says she will never understand why Dinah did it. She wants her to know that the person she hurt was her brother. Dinah will pay with every lonely moment of her life. Her nightmares will fade, but she has Bill. Dinah is alone.

Josh and Liv talk about no feelings equals no stress, no morning after analysis, because you know what you did and you enjoyed it, no guilt, and its aerobic! Josh wants the real thing, Olivia says Me too. Frank comes to the house and finds Natalia. Reva set up Frank to be there with Nat. He is starving, she has it covered, stroganoff, green beans, and brownies. Reva and Jeffrey at Company discuss Reva being a matchmaker. She arrived with a stroganoff and baked brownies for Frank, that is love. Lizzie and Bill meet up after Lizzie said her last thing to Dinah. It is over. Dinah is gone, a weight has been lifted. Dinah almost cost him his life. They almost kissed, then stopped. It is only their second date. They are going to see a romantic comedy. She wants candy, not popcorn. She wants to sit up close. He wants to sit in the back. He puts a move on her and she puts a Karate move on him. Dinah and Shayne look on and she says he looks happy. She wants him to be happy. Shayne offers to take her to a movie. Sit in the back row. She wants to be alone and leaves him standing there.

Next. Phillip wants to make restitution. Nat tells Olivia ( or thinks it) that she makes her happy.

Easter candy commercial! Seems early. :)

Finding The Truth

Bill tells his side of the story to Phillip about Cyrus. Phillip goes to Alexandra for the truth on both Bill and Cyrus. Jeffrey has a celebration planned for Reva but she’s not much in the mood. Buzz finds out Coop had a will.

Previously - Lizzie telling Cyrus she needs an ally in the Company. Is he willing to step up to the job? Cyrus is more than ready. Buzz wants to take out Alan and use Phillip as a weapon. Phillip is dangerous why not use him.

At the SPD, Phillip is quietly reading his newspaper when a visitor shows up. Phillip looks over and smiles. He wondered when Bill would show up. Bill has been looking for him. Phillip knows that. It seems that Bill climbed a mountain to find him. Phillip knows that. He knows a lot about Bill. Bill loves Lizzie. Phillip says true but he also kidnapped Lizzie as well from what Phillip has been told. Bill says he knows who did it. Why would Phillip believe him? Phillip agrees to go along with the game. Who is this mystery man? Bill says that this man is using the kidnapping to his advantage to weasel his way into Lizzie’s life. Bill has figured it all out by himself. Why not go to the SPD? Bill doesn’t have proof yet. Phillip admits he’s intrigued about who this mystery man is.

Just then Cyrus is answering his phone at Spaulding. It’s Grady on the phone. Cyrus tells Grady he can’t call him there at work. Grady questions how much longer. Cyrus says that this type of plan takes a lot longer to flesh out. He needs to get Lizzie to trust him then they can fleece the Spauldings. It’s a long range plan. Just then Lizzie enters and Cyrus covers saying he’s telling the press to buzz off. Lizzie says thank you for dealing with the press. She’s tired of them asking how she’s doing with her mentally deranged father back or the fact that her mommy was with her ex boyfriend. Cyrus tells Lizzie to go home and rest. Cyrus can do the work. They can even push back some of the deals. People would understand that she is under stress. She can’t do it all alone. That is why she hired Cyrus to be her right hand man. He’s the only person she can trust right now.

Reva is behind her desk at Cross Creek when Jeffrey enters. Jeffrey asks how she is doing. Not great. She’s trying to write a condolence letter to Buzz but nothing sounds right. They all sound cliché to her. Buzz was a lot more than just a good friend to her at one point. Jeffrey suggests going to Company and seeing Buzz in person. Reva says that is good idea. They also need to go see Daisy as well since Dylan is MIA and Harley is not coming back to town. Jeffrey says fine then it’s Buzz, Daisy and then his surprise. Is he going to tell her? Nope. Billy says seeing Daisy is a great idea. Since her parents are nowhere to be found it’s time for her grandparents to step up to the plate. Josh says the can tag along as well. All this loss is bringing up bad memories about Lara for Shayne. Billy says it looks like all roads lead to Reva. Jeffrey says sorry but that road is closed today. Reva looks at her husband. Billy suggests they all have a cup of tea then all go see Buzz together. Jeffrey just shakes his head.

Buzz walks into Coop’s room. He sees a picture of Coop, Buzz and Frank on the table. He sees the books as well. Buzz gets angry and tosses the picture. He regrets his burst of anger as soon as it happens.

“ Only love ….”

Buzz is still in Coop’s room walking around. He sees reports and story ideas. He looks over and see the Stanford campus marked on the map. He picks up the picture with the broken pieces of glass and opens a drawer. He goes to put the picture in and notices an envelope. He picks it up.

Cyrus and Lizzie are working at Spaulding. Cyrus is impressed with all the files in front of him. It’s all of Spaulding’s most lucrative cases and biggest accounts. Lizzie remarks that there is stuff here that they don’t even show the IRS. Cyrus is impressed. Can he handle this? Of course. Alexandra walks up and sees the closeness between Cyrus and Lizzie. Cyrus remarks that his ex wife looks well. She makes a remark that he’s a smooth as ever. Cyrus says that is in the past. Alex needs a word with Lizzie alone. Lizzie says that Alex can say it with Cyrus in the room. Cyrus gets the clue and says he can leave. Cyrus closes the door. Lizzie asks if her great aunt has a problem. Yes, and his name is Cyrus Foley.

Bill gives his version of Cyrus’ past in Springfield from being married to Alexandra then almost engaged to Marina while having an affair with Harley. The affair is part of the reason why Harley is still in Greece. Phillip is impressed. So Bill is certain that Cyrus kidnapped Lizzie yet he has no proof. Bill really needs Phillip’s help to get the proof. They have to protect Lizzie. Phillip laughs like Lizzie would let him do that since they have such a great relationship right now. Bill is desperate. Phillip says fine but he wants the whole story. Phillip wants Bill to start the day that Lizzie was kidnapped.

Mel is on the phone with Felicia at the boarding house. It’s still such a shock about Coop. She sees Buzz inside Company. She will call her mother back. Buzz unlocks the door for Mel. He locks it again after she comes in. They are not open today for business. She is so sorry about Coop. Mel brushes tears aside. Buzz says it’s good she is there he was going to call her. She’s surprised by the news. How can she help? Buzz says that Coop made a will. Why would such a young man make a will? Buzz needs Mel to read it. Mel hugs Bill.

Bill squirms around at the SPD and starts to tell the story but stops. Bill again says that he loves Lizzie. Phillip says enough tell him the whole story. Bill says they were doing a huge presentation for Spaulding. It was the cusp personally and professionally for them. It was a big one for Decker. Bill looks out into the bull pen of the SPD before he continues again. Lizzie was supposed to meet him when she didn’t show up he thought she had flaked out. Bill was pressured to do the presentation. It was a huge success. He had no choice but to do the presentation. Bill still didn’t understand why Lizzie didn’t show up. He went up to her room and she was not there. There was none of her clothes either. Bill assumed she had just left. Then the note showed up first for $50,000 then for $ 5 million. He didn’t call the police? Bill went to do the ransom drop but the crook was spooked. There was a phone call then. Bill went to the SPD to tell the police about it but he lost the signal. Bill started drinking then. He started drinking will Lizzie was missing? Bill continues on. He was just walking around and low and behold found a white van. Inside the van were Lizzie’s earrings. Bill would recognize them anywhere. He saw an oil leak and started following it. It lead to the old cannery. He went inside and found Lizzie tied up in a corner. So Bill was the one that rescued Lizzie? If Bill was the one that saved her then why does she think that Bill is the kidnapper? Bill did something stupid and took the van when he rescued Lizzie. There was an accident. Bill was in a coma for a couple of weeks. That gave the crooks plenty of time to plant evidence. He awoke in the hospital with Lizzie there. Before he could talk to Lizzie, Frank came in and arrested him. He was told stuff. Why did Bill just not tell them the truth? Bill was fuzzy on his memories. Every time he answered questions, he looked more guilty. Phillip asks the obvious question, why is Bill not in jail? The evidence warehouse burnt down. Phillip says that is convenient. Lizzie started to doubt him after that. She was going to go to the press and say she still did when Bill told her that he had no memory. It was then that he went to search for Phillip. Phillip says he needs time to process this information. Bill tells him to think fast. Lizzie is in trouble. Bill is telling the truth. They both have to protect Lizzie from Cyrus. Bill leaves. Phillip sits perplexed on what is the truth and what is not. He has to find out what the truth is.

Alex can’t believe that Lizzie is sharing so many Spaulding secrets with Cyrus. She can’t do that. Lizzie trusts Cyrus. Did she forget what he did to Alex? Lizzie knows. They all have lied. Alex says they are not the same type of people as Cyrus. Alex is going to go see Buzz to pay her condolences. Maybe Marina can tell Lizzie what Cyrus is really like or even Harley can call and they can have a phone conference. Lizzie says the truth is relative. She lied to Coop about being Sarah’s father so he would marry her. What if she had told him the truth? Coop may not have died. Alex says it was an accident. If it wasn’t for Lizzie he would be alive and she could be with her daughter. She can’t trust Phillip. The only person Lizzie can trust is Cyrus. Alexandra leaves. Lizzie tries to pour a drink but her hands are too shaky.

Mel and Buzz are talking when there is a knock at the door of Company. Mel says she can tell the person to come at a better time. Buzz says it’s fine. Buzz opens the door and sees Jeffrey and Reva. Mel is going to go make some coffee. Jeffrey says he’ll help because secretly Mel makes horrible coffee. Reva sits with Buzz. How is he doing? Whatever he needs, Reva is there for him and so is Jeffrey. They are all there for him right now. Reva wasn’t sure about coming. Buzz questions why. Reva’s little guy is safe in her stomach and Buzz just lost his little guy. Reva hugs Buzz.

Phillip is inside the bull pen at the SPD. He’s handcuffed to a table. He tells the person on the phone that he needs their help to sort out the truth.

Phillip is waiting in his jail cell when Alex shows up. Alex kisses him. It’s so good to see her nephew again. He’s home. It will be alright now. She came as soon as she could. Has he seen Rick? Phillip says that is complicated. So he’s been filled in on what is happening around town. Phillip chuckles. Yeah, everyone’s been telling them their versions to place him. He’s not sure who to believe. Alex still can’t believe about Beth and her affair with Coop. Phillip is not worried about Beth right now. He wants to talk about Lizzie. What does Alex know about Cyrus Foley. Alex chuckles and sits and talks about her ex. What Phillip has heard and probably ten times worse. The problem is that Cyrus is so adorable and charming. He can worm his way into your life so quickly. She’s thinking that he’s doing that to Lizzie right now. Phillip was worried about that.

Josh looks at Reva and says he tried to call Dinah but no answer. Shayne may be with Edmund. They should go over there and look for him. It has to be hard with Shayne because of Lara. Jeffrey gets annoyed and says that Reva is not available to do that. Reva is sick and taking care of her baby. Enough is enough with Josh interfering with her life. Josh has to start creating these emergencies so he can put his family back together. It’s not going to happen. Reva has a lot to celebrate tomorrow. Buzz says right. Buzz says he can still get the dinner together. Jeffrey says that is fine. He’s made other plans. Reva questions about tomorrow then remembers that tomorrow is her last chemo appointment. It’s an important hurdle in her cancer treatment. Buzz doesn’t have to do anything. He has enough to worry about it. Reva is not sure about celebrating with everything that is happening. Buzz tells Reva to celebrate. Life is precious. When she makes a toast tonight, have him in her prayers. Reva hugs and says she loves Buzz.

Phillip tells Alex that she is confirming pretty much everything that Bill told him about Cyrus. Bill as in Bill Lewis? She’s not sure how much Phillip can believe out of Bill’s mouth. Phillip questions what he doesn’t know about Bill. Bill is following in the footsteps of Billy with his drinking. He’s become almost a drunk.

Bill arrives at Spaulding and sees Cyrus and Lizzie working closely. Bill steps back outside and pours some booze on himself. He walks in acting like a drunk. Is there some big meeting today? Lizzie isn’t impressed at all.

Bill continues to play Cyrus and Lizzie. Did he interrupt a big meeting? Isn’t it a little early to be drinking. What is the big problem? Coop just died and Lizzie’s crazy daddy is back. Does that ring any bells? Bill is sorry. Cyrus says enough. He’s taking Bill out of there. Why is Bill doing this to Lizzie today of all days? Cyrus says he should just put Bill back in that gutter that he climbed out of.

Phillip asks if Bill has been a problem since he got back from Venezuela for Lizzie. Alex says there has been good and bad moments. Does she think that Bill was the one that kidnapped Lizzie? Alex is not sure. Lizzie seems unsettled lately. It worries Alex. It reminds her of another person that went down a dark path. Beth ? No how Phillip was acting out before…Lizzie is heading for trouble.

Reva and Jeffrey drink a cider at Towers. Reva thanks Jeffrey for this. Jeffrey says that it’s o.k. to call Shayne if she wants if it will make her feel better. It wasn’t Shayne she was thinking about. Then she can call Buzz if she wants. Reva says it seems weird celebrating her last chemo appointment. The last chemo is a big deal. Reva is worried that he will say she has cancer again. It’s unfair that she is doing good and Buzz is dealing with Coop’s death. Reva knows how lucky she is to be alive.

Buzz is Coop’s room when Josh arrives. Josh wanted to say goodbye. Buzz thanks Josh for coming. Josh says that if there is anything he can do just asks. Was Coop writing a new book? Buzz smiles at the papers in his hand. No it was Buzz’s birthday soon. Coop was writing a toast. “ Dad, my best friend.” Josh holds Buzz’s hands close.

Jeffrey has a gift for Reva. It’s a special occasion. Reva says the box is too big for jewellery. Reva opens and looks at the hat. Jeffrey says this is sort of a graduation for her. No more chemo finally. They can move onto the next phase of their lives. They are going to treasure every moment they have and not take it for granted. It’s the end of Reva’s cancer which is important. Reva toasts to the lives that will soon be here, are here and the ones that are not there anymore.

Bill is in his hotel room. He fakes waking up from a bad dream. Cyrus is there watching him. Bill says the dream was so real. Cyrus says that is just the booze. Bill say he was at the factory fighting with the kidnapper. He was just about to pull off the mask but just couldn’t reach it. Cyrus says that it is just a dream. He’s not getting his memory back. It’s wishful thinking and more likely the booze talking. Cyrus leaves. Bill starts to close the door. Cyrus pulls out his phone and tells Grady to call him now. They need to talk. Bill smirks. The smokescreen is working.

Billy arrives at Spaulding and sees Lizzie. Is he following Bill around? Bill was just there drunk as a skunk. He hurt her more than she thought was possible before yet once again he finds a way to hurt her again. Billy starts to tell Lizzie the truth but stops. Lizzie thinks she should just buy Bill out. Billy tries to stop her from doing that. Lizzie doesn’t want to talk about Bill anymore. Lizzie leaves.

Phillip looks at Alex worried. Does she think that Lizzie is going crazy? What is she saying exactly? She’s out of control and headed down a dark path. What is happening to her? Alex doesn’t have the answers but she’s not going to let her nephew just sit in there. She’s going to get him out and back home.

Buzz reads the note. Josh asks again if there is anything he can do. Buzz says the memorial is tomorrow. Can Josh speak? Josh says that he’s not a minister anymore. Buzz knows his son better. Josh is their friend. Buzz can’t do it. Josh would be honoured to speak for Coop. Buzz and Josh shake hands. Josh leaves. Buzz falls down on the bed crying.

Preview - Memorial. Alan telling Phillip that the Cooper’s blame the Spaulding’s for their problems. Lizzie is at the memorial and says it’s the Spaulding’s fault. Alan says stop right there. Everyone is stunned that Alan showed up.

Life Is Worth It

Lizzie hires Cyrus to be her number one butt kicker. Beth moves out of the Spaulding Mansion. Buzz and the Coopers grieve for Coop. Olivia tries to get up the nerve to say to Phillip.

Previously - Coop saying goodbye. Coop is breathing by a ventilator. Buzz pulls the plug on Coop.

Buzz is still in Coop’s room on the floor. Coop will always be his son. Lillian enters and moves Buzz’s hand. Lillian hugs him as the Coopers watch.

Olivia is answering a phone call outside the farmhouse. She looks over and sees Emma's doll of to the side. She walks over and gets in her car. She drives to the SPD. She parks in the police parking only section. Olivia tries to get up the courage to head inside.

Phillip is inside the jail looking at the bandages on his hand.

Lizzie walks into the Spaulding Mansion. Alan says good. He has something important to tell her. Phillip is back but he's in jail. Lizzie knows. She was the one that called the police. Phillip found her at the crash site. She was scared so she called. Alan is not angry with Lizzie. She's not sure if she can trust her father. While in jail, the family can figure out if Phillip is sane again. Lizzie is always safe with her grandfather. Alan questions if Lizzie has spoken to Beth yet. Beth is very confused right now. The need to avoid judging her for her part in this mess. The phone rings. Alan says more reporters. Lizzie answers and talks to Lilian. Lizzie drops the phone to the ground. Coop died.

Beth walks into Cedars and sees the Cooper clan all dejected. Lillian walks over to her daughter and says that she's so sorry. Beth falls down in tears. He crashed. Coop's brain got no oxygen. Beth says he was stable. If he wasn't she never would have left the hospital. Lillian says there was too much damage. He fought so hard to stay alive. It was just too much. Beth in tears rushes in. Buzz is still with is son. Beth breaks down and pleads over and over to Coop that he has to come back to her.

“ Only Love….”

The Coopers rally around Buzz in the waiting room. Frank hugs Buzz as he realizes that his son is gone for good.

Beth is still in the room when Lillian walks in and tries to comfort her daughter. What can Lillian do? Beth says she has to do this on her own. Lilian leaves. Beth is so sorry. So sorry this happened to Coop.

Alan tries to tell Lizzie that he's sorry. He knows how she cared for Coop. Right now the one thing that Lizzie has is her family. This type of situation can either bring a family closer or tear them apart. Beth needs all the support she can get right now. It was her choice that lead to Coop's death. They don't need to remind Beth of that. Phillip came back at a most awkward time. They have this time to put the pieces of their family back together. Lizzie wants to go over to the Coopers. Alan advises against that. The Coopers are using the Spauldings as a yardstick on how their life is. They envy the close family that the Spaulding's have.

Olivia is now inside the SPD. She's still not sure about going in and talking to Phillip. Mallet walks out and sees her. He says hi. Phillip is in jail. Olivia says she was planning on heading over to the Beacon today but she saw the doll. Phillip is in his cell. He can hear Olivia's voice. She's trying to imagine what he's like now. Mallet offers to get an officer to drive her home. Olivia says she's fine. She can't do this. Olivia leaves the SPD.

Mallet goes to see Philip. Has Mallet heard anything about Coop? Marina calls Mallet then. Mallet tells Phillip that Coop is gone. Mallet rushes off to be with Marina. Phillip slams the bars with his hands.

The Coopers want to help Buzz. Frank tells Buzz that they will get through this some how some way as a family. Buzz tells Frank they need to do what needs to be done.

Mallet, Marina and Daisy are at the house. It’s a new day in Springfield. They are going to head over to Company later. Daisy has no clue what to say to Buzz. Buzz was the rock when everything happened with Gus and then when Harley left. Mallet says there is no right or wrong thing to say. Daisy says that it’s not fair. A kid should not go before their parents. She’s not sure how a parent would get over that loss. Mallet says sometimes they don’t.

Later Beth arrives at the Spaulding Mansion. Alan walks over and asks how she is. He wanted to call her but stopped. He thought that he should give her some space. It's terrible what happened to Coop. Beth says that the only man who got her was Coop.

Buzz is reading Coop’s book in Company when he hears knocking on the window. Buzz walks over and unlocks the door. Frank questions if Buzz even went up to his room last night. Buzz says that he just started walking and kept walking. He eventually ended up at the crash site then walked home. Lillian hugs Buzz and tells him she’s going to go make some coffee. Frank says that he can go and call everyone. They don’t want them to read it in the newspaper. Frank can call Rocky to tell him about his brother’s death. Buzz says he can’t dodge that job. He has to do it himself. Frank says they will get through this.

Daisy hugs Buzz. Buzz is usually the one that gives the hugs but it’s nice he’s getting one from his granddaughter. What can she do to help? What needs to be taken care of? All that matters is all the Coopers are there.

Mallet and Marina sit at a table. Is Marina o.k.? She’s struck by what Daisy said about a kid going before their parent. She never really thought about that before. Mallet says most people don’t but it does happen. Here they are thinking about having their own child and it could happen. They should be excited with the news. Mallet suggests telling the Coopers now about their news. Marina says that this is the worst time.

Lizzie is at Spaulding reading the paper. She first sees the news about Phillip's return then about Coop's death. She looks down at her phone for a second. Cyrus walks in. She asks him if he knows about Coop. He does. Lizzie questions how Cyrus thinks the Cooper's are. Cyrus is not sure. He wanted to call Harley and talk to her but he was unsure about doing it. Does Lizzie need something from him? No, Lizzie is fine. Lizzie says it's just everything with Phillp's return and Coop's death. Then there is Beth and Lizzie has no clue what is up with her mother. Cyrus says she will be fine. She can't do that. She can't just call Bill like that. Cyrus says it's o.k. to want to reach out to someone. She says all it is she's hit rock bottom and she's trying to dig a bigger hole. Not Cyrus job. She needs him to do something extra. He's going to be her official butt kicker. When she's felling low, he has the right to give her a swift kick in the pants to get back to doing her job. Cyrus can do that. Cyrus gets up and looks at Lizzie. He lightly touches her shoulder and then leaves.

Beth and Alan continue to talk. He knows from experience that it's wise to make decisions when you are feeling like this. They should probably wait to reschedule the wedding. Beth laughs. There is not going to be a wedding. She said I do. Well not anymore. She can't after Coop died while trying to save her from Alan. Coop believed that she deserved something better. Alan says that Beth can blame herself. Alan says that Coop was not a hero. He tried to sneak around with. He was a coward. Beth said that Coop hid their relationship because she asked him to. He had faith that she could do more. He wanted to tell the world of their love. Alan says that this is a joke. Coop was not some paragon of virtue. He hide his feelings about Beth in a trashy book. She's not even that person in the book. Beth can't believe the venom that Alan is saying. Coop just died. Alan admits that it's sad that he was young and died. Death does not wash away his sins that he did.. Beth laughs and says Alan better hope for his sake that the sins are washed away from when a person dies. Alan's got ton of them. Beth leaves.

Frank gathers the Cooper kids around and tells them to start making calls. They need to phone Harley and tell her the news. It’s not good for Harley to come home with Phillip on the loose. Buzz questions if there is a chance that Phillip will make bail. Frank says it’s up to the DA. Frank doesn’t think it will happen. Buzz heads into the kitchen. Frank follows him in there. What exactly did Buzz and Phillip talk about at the jail? Justice.

Frank tells Buzz to stop cleaning. The kitchen is clean enough. What type of justice? What did they exactly say? Taking Alan out and using Phillip as a weapon. Frank tells his father he has to let this anger go. It was an accident. Alan is to blame for a lot of stuff but the brakes were not tampered with. He’s the reason that a lot of them are hurting. Buzz yells that he’s so tired of being the one to keep the peace. He wishes he could have done more for Coop. Buzz did do a lot. Buzz says that he gave Coop the keys that lead to his death. Buzz grabs his coat and leaves. Where is he going? He needs to be alone.

Beth walks down the stairs. She called James in boarding school to tell him the news. She'll have the rest of Payton's stuff sent later on. Alan questions what Beth had with Coop other than tawdry sex. Beth says it was real. Something Alan will never understand. Alan is tired of this sanctimonious crap. Coop wasn't inspiring. He was just a common writer. Beth was not living a fairytale with Coop. She was trying ot finish her story with Phillip. Beth slaps Alan for that comment. Alan says it was a game with Coop nothing more. A deranged game she was playing pitting Coop against Alan. Beth says it was never a competition.

Lillian shows up. Lizzie is so happy to see her Nana. Lillian just wanted to check on her. Lizzie is thankful she heard it from Lillian and not the newspaper. Is Lillian heading back to Company? Lizzie wants to see Buzz and tell him how sorry she is. Lillian says that is not a good idea. Lizzie loved Coop. Buzz treated her like family. Lizzie is not family. But Lillian and Beth...Lizzie gets that since she's a Spaulding. She's not . Lillian says stay away for today. Lizzie was on their side. She may not have liked Beth and Coop. Lillian says life is not fair. Lizzie is not in the mood for that speech today. Lillian will call Lizzie when it's the right time. Lizzie will be fine. Lillian leaves. Lizzie picks up her phone. She needs Cyrus and now.

Olivia walks into the courthouse and sees a judge. He's the one that saw the Phillip Spaulding arraignment therefore he's also going to do the case as well. The judge says that this is not appropriate conversation. Olivia says she was one the mother's victimized by Phillip. She wants to testify against him. She should go to talk to the prosecutor then. Olivia says she knows how that will work. She knows that it may not work either. She wants to make sure that Phillip doesn't come out no matter what the cost. The judge hopes that that was not a bribe. If it was then Olivia would be facing a trial of her own. The judge leaves.

Buzz walks up to Coops car that is still parked in front of Mallet and Marina’s house. Buzz looks at the stuff in the back. He picks up a CD and walks to the front. He sits down and turns on the car. He puts the CD in. The words “ Not Guilty” start playing. Buzz takes off fast in the car.

Lizzie tells Cyrus that she almost called Bill and her official butt kicker was no where to be found. Cyrus say sorry about that. Lizzie gets that Cyrus is not happy with his job. He wants more to do. It's not Lizzie's job to make his job more interesting. Lizzie has enough to deal with right now. Lizzie agrees and she has nobody to bounce her ideas off of right now. Lizzie feels like she keeps losing people. The one person that Lizzie can rely on ( Cyrus ) she keeps shutting out. Cyrus says she's not going to lose him anytime soon. Lizzie doesn't need reassurances what she needs is someone she can trust. She needs an ally at this company. What that new job would entail would be more responsibility , bigger projects. Essentially it would be more time stuck with Lizzie. Can he deal with that? Cyrus can handle that. Lizzie really wants to make sure that Cyrus can step up to the plate. Be Lizzie's number one person at Spaulding. Cyrus is in.

Mallet and Marina are at the house. There is a lot of people to phone. Mallet pulls out a photo album. Is he trying to make her sadder? Mallet says the pictures are of Marina when she was younger - first pony ride, marina and Eleni, swimming with Frank, riding a huge bike. Why are they looking at the pictures? They are looking at a life not how it is today but on most days. What happened to Coop was horrible thing. He’s not sure if they will get over it but they will get through it. What is the lesson from today? That life is not worth all the pain. He knows it’s hard to stomach but death is a part of it. Life is great there are a lot of beautiful moments, sweet really simple moments that you would never want to change. Parts of life that you do not want to miss out on. They can make their own memories with their own child. Don’t give up on that dream. Marina asks if their baby is a boy can they name them Henry. Yes of course.

Beth arrives at the SPD jail to find Phillip reading his newspaper. Phillip walks over. He's sorry about what happened to Coop. Beth wants to thank Phillip for saving Coop even if it meant that Beth had a just a couple more hours with him. Beth told Alan that she's moving out of the house. She's not sure where she's going from here. She's not sure why she came down to the jail. Phillip holds Beth's hand. He really wishes he could do something for her but he can't do much while he's stuck behind these bars. Beth leaves. Phillip watches her.

Alan is outside on the phone. He wants to talk to Chief Wolfe. Alan says they need to make the rules slide. A father should not be kept away from hs son. Buzz watches with anger in his eyes.

Preview - Josh telling Buzz to hold on. Coop made a will. Buzz trashes a picture when he finds that out. Bill tells Phillip he loves Lizzie. Phillip heard more than that like Bill kidnapped Lizzie. Bill says he didn’t but he has an idea who did. Phillip is willing to listen. Cyrus answers the phone at Spaulding Lewis.

Previously - Beth arguing with Alan to let her be happy. Alan saying he made her happy once before. He can do it again. Alan taunt Coop on the phone. Coop crashes his car and Phillip rescues him.

Buzz and Frank are at Company waiting for the fireworks to happen. Frank questions how long it takes to break up a wedding. Buzz says whatever Coop does it will change everything for this family. Coop needs to be happy. Frank suggests another glass of wine for his dad. Buzz questions if Frank has read the book. Frank says he hasn’t had time. Buzz has already finished it. Buzz says his son has a real talent for writing a book. Frank questions what Buzz would call his own book. Today? What the hell happen or cautiously optimistic. Daisy shows up. What is up? Coop is bringing home a new bride today. Coop got married. Daisy says she’d love a happy ending after Bill and Lizzie mess. They need to celebrate and the place is not ready. Daisy tries to take a sip of beer but Buzz stops her. Buzz says go ahead one sip but don’t tell Harley. Daisy asks if they want to know how she is doing with Grady. Not really. Daisy says they are great. Buzz says good. He’ll take happiness wherever he can get it.

Mallet and Marina arrive at the adoption agency. Marina knew they would call especially since Mallet and Marina were planning on getting away. They’ve been so stressed out the last bit. Marina questions if something is wrong. Mallet says it’s probably just extra paperwork. It was fine when she stood up for him. It showed how much they love each other and want to have a family. Marina wants a baby so much. The counsellor calls them into the office.

Lizzie is at the chapel in a black dress waiting for the wedding to start. Lillian walks over with the flowers. Lizzie has to do something. She talked to both Beth and Alan. They want to get married. Lillian can’t believe that her daughter wants to marry Alan. Lizzie says that love is not a given for happiness. Alan has the right idea to take it where you can get it. Look at Beth’s record. She was married to Rick but he lied to her. Edmund locked Beth up in a tower. Phillip well they know how that ended. Beth is going with what she knows. You make the best of a bad situation with what you have. The programs for the wedding are really beautiful. Bill is brought more ginger ale by the waiter. Keep them coming in the champagne glasses. Lillian tries to reason with Rick. Why is he standing up for Alan? The old saying. Keep your friends close and you enemies closer ring a bell. Alan walks over and asks if Rick has the rings. He does. Lillian is pissed at Alan. He can’t want this. Someone has to save Beth. Beth meanwhile is stoically putting on her wedding veil. She has to do this to save Coop.

Meanwhile Phillip is trying to break into Coop’s car. He hears a hiss as the fires continue to rage and get hotter. He doesn’t have much time. Phillip breaks down the door and pulls Coop out. Phillip drags him far enough away as the car explodes into a fireball. Phillip looks down at Coop.

“ Only love ….”

Daisy looks at the book Coop wrote at Company. She always liked Beth but Beth and Coop? She never would have put that together. Frank knows the feeling. He never would have put Grady and Daisy together either. This is good stuff. It’s like a fairytale moment for him. He’s going to rush in and rescue the damsel in distress from the evil king and bring her back to the castle. This does not scream castle. Buzz says that is because it’s a fortress because they just took the first shot at the Spauldings. They need to bunker down. It may be better to build a moat around them. Daisy asks for just a castle for today and a fortress tomorrow. This is a very romantic moment for Beth and Coop. It could be the most romantic for them. Buzz says that his kids are hopeless romantics. Even Frank is since he’s taking Natalia away for the weekend. Daisy is impressed. Frank asks if any secret is sacred. Daisy says they have to get going and make this place magical.

The counsellor tells Mallet and Marina this is their official notification. They are going to be added to the waitlist. Marina is so excited this means they will be able to have a baby. She hast to tell her family. Marina thanks the counsellor for believing in them. Mallet looks at the counsellor realizing the real story. Marina is going to go call her family. Mallet will wait to get the paperwork. Marina leaves. Mallet wants the truth. They are never going to get a baby. If it’s his paperwork. No actually it’s Marina’s pass association with the Santos Crime Family. Danny Santos? She doesn’t even talk to him anymore. The counsellor says that is a very huge red flag when a prospective parent is linked with organized crime. Mallet says that is hogwash. She put them on the list so Mallet and Marina could not sue for discrimination. The counsellor says for a person to be associated with the Santos Crime Family and what they did to Springfield. Mallet says that this is not over by a long shot. Mallet heads out. Marina is on the phone. There has been a single car crash. It’s a major accident and Mallet and Marina have been called in as backup. Mallet and Marina head off unaware of what they will find.

Phillip rushes a bleeding Coop into Cedars. Phillip asks if Rick is on call. This man needs a doctor. Phillip pulls out his phone and dials directory assistance. He needs the number for Company. Phillip leaves as Coop bleeds profusely on the table with no doctor around him.

Beth is stoically standing at the top of the aisle ready to meet her fate. Lillian says that her daughter does not have to do this. Beth has to protect the man she loves, his future and the future of his family. Lillian says that Beth is still Alan’s victim then. Beth says she needs her bouquet now. The music starts. Beth has to do this. Bill is at the top of the aisle smelling a flower as he looks at Lizzie. Lizzie walks up. The wedding is starting soon. He really needs to sit down before he falls down drunk. Bill says that wedding make him sick. There is nothing to see her. Bill leaves with Lizzie following him. Rick walks beside Beth. She doesn’t have to do this. She can just turn around and walk out the door. She can’t walk away. She can’t think of herself now. She has to think of her family and Coop. Either Rick walks her down the aisle or she does it herself. Beth starts walking her death march.

Mallet and Marina arrive at the crash and are horrified by the looks. The paramedic walks up and says no victims were found in the car. That is not possible. The other officer has to go and call the chief. Mallet and Marina says this makes no sense. As they walk closer Marina is horrified when she realizes that the car belongs to Buzz.

The phone rings inside of Company but Daisy is still puttering around. The room looks beautiful. Buzz walks out and asks if they heard a car pull up. The phone rings again. Buzz answers. Marina is so relieved to hear her grandfather’s voice. There has been a car accident. The car was totalled and in flames. Frank reacts to the news as Buzz lets the shock sit in. Marina asks who was in the car. Coop was in the car. It’s Coop. Marina is horrified to realize her uncle was inside. Is he o.k. ? Nobody was found at the car. He walked away. He must be heading to the wedding on foot. Mallet questions how anyone could have walked away. Mallet takes the phone from Marina. Frank asks for the specifics as it sinks in with Buzz and Daisy. There was a single car collision. It burst into flames. The fire department finally put out the flames. It’s a horrible mess. It’s not looking good. Marina is in tears.

Coop is still bleeding profusely on his stretcher as doctors run around oblivious to him being there. Coop mumbles Beth’s name.

Bill is on the phone outside the wedding. He’s talking to Billy. The plan to smoke out Cyrus is working perfectly. Cyrus thinks he’s won. Even Lizzie believes his drunken lie. Bill says he has to go. Lizzie is walking over. Bill closes his phone. Lizzie says hand over his keys. He’s too drunk to drive back to the Beacon. He’s just going to walk back. Can he make it there by himself? Bill says that Lizzie should head back in. She may be able to catch the bouquet for her wedding with Cyrus. Lizzie is not marrying Cyrus or anyone else. Doesn’t he get that? Bill kisses Lizzie. She pulls back disgusted.

The wedding begins and Beth walks up the aisle towards Alan. Rick is by her side. He can’t talk her out of it. Alan says sorry that didn’t work. Now Beth will sleep beside him when all is said and done. Beth looks beautiful. The minister starts. Alan says get past the pomp. He wants to say some stuff to his bride. Alan does his vows for his blushing bride. Rick tells Beth to stop this farce. Alan says they have been tested in the past but he’s seen Beth for the real woman she is. He still loves her even still. Alan forgives her for her indiscretions. He still loves her very much. Alan will be her constant when everything in her life hangs in a balance. He will always be watching her. The minister asks if Beth wants to say anything to Alan. I do. The minister say she can say that soon enough. Now if there is anyone who objects to this wedding. Speak now. The door opens to Phillip walking in.

Bill feels sorry for himself. Lizzie agrees. She feels sorry she fell for his drivel again. She thought she knew who he was. Does she? She had no clue. If he ever wants to see her again, he can talk to Cyrus. She’s going to call a cab for him to head home. She’s given Bill enough chances. Is there anything else because they are done for good.

Marina is freaking out at the crime scene. There is no way. It doesn’t make sense. How can anyone walk away from that? Mallet reassures his shell shocked wife. The police are looking for Coop right now. Marina can’t remember her last words to Coop. Mallet starts to look for answers. Marina finds Coop’s cell phone. Is it working? Pull up the call display. The last call out was to Beth. The final call in was from Alan. Oh my God. Marina is horrified by the implications.

Daisy tries to reassure Buzz and Frank that Coop got out. He probably walked to the wedding. They can go to Cedars and check. Buzz says that is good he was there a bit ago for his heart. It all turned out fine. They can go over together. Daisy will stay behind in case Beth and Coop show up. Daisy feels that it will be fine. Buzz calls Frank’s name. Frank is coming. Daisy will be fine alone. Daisy picks up a candle and puts it in the window.

Coop is in an examination room. There is still no doctor around him as he bleeds profusely. He groans then mumbles Beth’s name.

Phillip walks up to Beth in the church. It’s surreal seeing his father marrying his first love. Beth moves towards Phillip unsure if it’s another hallucination. She goes to touch Phillip’s face but faints when she realizes that he is real. Lillian and Rick rush to her. Rick has to go to his car and get his medical bag. Alan says call 911. Phillip holds Beth and tells her to awaken. She slowly does. Alan says it’s good to have his son home. Phillip shakes his head and looks at Beth. Lillian is horrified assuming that Beth is bleeding from the blood on her dress. Phillip says no. That’s him. There was a horrible accident.

Lizzie tries to get a faux drunk Bill up. The cab is almost there. How was the wedding? Lizzie has no clue since she was outside taking care of his sorry butt. Bill says that Lizzie is soft and warm like Roxie. Lizzie says she hopes that Bill is taking care of Roxie better than himself. Lizzie turns and leaves.

Mallet and Marina arrive at Company to find Daisy. Is there any news? Coop isn’t there. Buzz and Frank went over to Cedars just in case. Daisy says that Buzz made the ominous remark that Company was more of a fortress than a castle like he knew. Coop was going to break up the wedding and bring Beth back there. He would have called if something happened. He was on the way to stop the wedding. Marina is horrified and leaves. Daisy looks out the window where the candle is.

Buzz and Frank arrive at Cedars. Frank will try and find out if Coop has been brought in. Buzz walks around and sees his son laying on a gurney alone bleeding. Buzz rushes in. Oh my God Coop. Frank walks over he found a nurse. He sees his brother on the gurney.

Phillip explains that he got to the house and the servants said everyone was here. On the way here Phillip heard the car crash. He was the only one around so he rescued the guy before the car blew up. Alan says that was very brave of his son. He could have been hurt. Phillip says it was Coop. Beth looks at him. Say that again. Not Coop. What happened to him? Beth has to go to him. She has to go. Beth rushes off with Alan following right behind. Phillip is confused what this means. Rick asks if anyone else knows that Phillip is back. Just the servants and the people at the wedding. What happened? Phillip walks out. Alan is telling Beth that he will drive her. What the hell did he do to Coop? Stay away from her. She never wants to see him. Beth rushes off. Lillian looks at Phillip. He should be checked out. He’s fine. Go be with Beth. What is Phillip going to do? Talk to Big Al. Alone? Phillip will be fine. Phillip looks at his father and says lets take a walk.

Lizzie walks back into the abandoned church. All she sees is the bouquet and veil on the ground.

Daisy looks at the candle as Bill enters Company. What is up with t the candle? There was an accident. The car was totalled. They are not sure if Coop ….Bill calms his niece down. Coop will be fine. What is all the fuss about with the restaurant? Daisy asks if her uncle wants a coffee. He can pour one himself. Coop will be fine. Bill will stay with his niece till she gets news.

Frank and Buzz are with Coop. Buzz reassures his son that he is there. Buzz rushes out and calls a doctor. They had no clue who he was. That matters. He is somebody’s son or husband. He’s a person and has a home. What is the doctor thinking. The doctor tells Buzz to leave. He can’t. Frank says it will be fine. Buzz is furious that they just left his son on the gurney like that. They just left him there to die. Mallet and Marina show up. Marina hugs her grandfather. Frank tells Mallet they have no clue how Coop got there. Mallet says they found Coop’s cell phone. The last call was from Alan at the time of the crash. Lillian, Beth and Rick arrive. Buzz tells them to go in and help Coop. Lillian and Rick head in and start to work on Coop. Beth is shell shocked and shivering uncontrollably as everyone waits for news.

Phillip and Alan arrive at Phillip’s grave. It’s good that Phillip is home. Alan has done a lovely job taking care of the grave site or was that his servants. Did Alan ever bring flowers? Alan still can’t believe that his son is back. Phillip looks good. For a dead man. Alan never thought that Phillip would come back. Phillip says he never thought he would see Alan marrying Beth. Alan says a lot has changed in the last couple of years. Phillip says it doesn’t hurt. What ? Where Alan shot him. Phillip looks straight at his father.

Preview - Alan took away his life in Springfield. Phillip pulls a gun on his father. Phillip would have had a life if Alan had not shot him. Beth walks into the bathroom and is shattered. Phillip Happens Here.
