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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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


Alan, Lizzie and Cyrus arrive at the investor meeting. Alan laughs and says if Lizzie is bringing Cyrus everywhere, why not just keep Roxie instead. Lizzie says that Alan will begin the meeting and then Lizzie will take over. Lizzie takes her seat. Cyrus hands out the paperwork from the meeting. He sits across and looks at Lizzie. The investors arrive. The one that arrives and charms Lizzie is the one that Cyrus got the dirt on. Alan welcomes everyone. Alan says that Springfield is for their taking. It will become a powerhouse in the Midwest. Lizzie passes the prices they are thinking about for the investors. The one investor says they are awfully steep and not realistic. Lizzie says hes used to paying high prices for stuff he cant get at home right. The investor blanches at the news. Cyrus looks at Lizzie as she smiles at him. Alan says that they will have to remodel the town of course. Various building and neighbourhoods will have to go like a certain burger place on 7th Street. Cyrus looks at Alan. Lizzie says Company? Alan says he recently bought the place when it came into hard times. Alan wants to turn it down. Its a good idea right Lizzie? Lizzie is not so sure now as she looks at Cyrus


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

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

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

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


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

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

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


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

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