Dayna's In-depth Recap and Charleyfan's Clips: Episode 15610, February 12, 2009

Hi Sweetheart

Lizzie finds out about Coop then Phillip. Bill continues to toy with Lizzie though she’s not believing his lies. Beth and Buzz find out grave news about Coop. Buzz tries to work through his grief. Phillip takes care of Beth and finds out shocking news about Lizzie.

Previously - Bill pulling Lizzie into a kiss and she pushes him away. Buzz goes after Alan and finds out that Phillip is alive.


Bill and Billy are in the Beacon. Bill questions if there is any news on Coop. Coop is still in surgery. The Coopers are pretty torn up by the news. Bill says it’s a shock. One minute everything is fine then the next it’s not. Billy tells Bill that Coop was going to stop Beth’s wedding with Alan. Billy says that Coop and Beth had something going. Bill says that Lizzie must be shocked. Lizzie’s mom with her ex boyfriend. It would be a lot of her to find out.

Lizzie walks into Company and sees Daisy working. She seems to have lost her family at Alan and Beth’s wedding. She can’t find anyone. Where is Buzz? He’s probably at the hospital. Lizzie is shocked. Is Buzz alright? Was Lizzie at the wedding at all? Lizzie says that Bill was there drunk as a skunk. She followed him outside. Daisy doesn’t think that Beth married Alan. Why not? Coop must have done something stupid. Lizzie knew that this was going to happen. Lizzie has no clue then. Coop was on the way to break up the wedding in Buzz’s car. He was driving erratically and lost control. He was in a horrible car crash. Lizzie is stunned by the news. How bad is Coop? He’s in surgery right now.

Beth attempts to blot the blood off of her wedding dress. Rick arrives. He tells her to head home and rest. Beth says she can’t seem to get the stain out. It just looks worse. Coop is still in surgery. He will be there for a while. Beth is going to stay put and wait. Beth says this was not supposed to happen. She was going to marry Alan to protect Coop and his family. He wasn’t supposed to get hurt. Rick says it was an accident. Beth is not so sure. It was good that Phillip rescued Coop. Why is Phillip back? Rick is not sure. He hasn’t been in contact with Phillip for a long time. Beth doesn’t believe Rick.

Buzz tries to attack Alan but Phillip stops him. Phillip tells Buzz to calm down. Buzz is not surprised that Phillip is there defending his father. He always does. Why is Phillip even there? Is he part of the reason behind the accident. Is he Alan’s alibi? Buzz looks down and sees blood on Phillip’s hands. He was the one that saved Coop. Coop said it was a person in a red shirt. Was it Phillip ? Did he save Coop?

“ Only love ….”


Billy walks around Bill’s room and sees the big bottle of booze. He’s not drinking this. It’s just for show. He always pours it down the drain. Bill needs it just in case Lizzie’s shows up. They have to keep thinking he’s a worthless drunk so he can get the evidence that Cyrus was behind Lizzie’s kidnapping. Why not tell Lizzie his plan? She would never believe him. She would never understand why he went to the mountain to find Phillip but instead found his memory? It sounds like a crock. He can’t ask her to trust him. He has to prove that she can. He has to prove that Cyrus was the kidnapper. Bill says he was the main suspect until the building with the evidence went up in smoke. Billy says this is a dangerous idea making people think he’s a drunk. Billy still has not lived down that reputation in work. Bill says he’s going to keep doing it. He’s pretty stubborn. Must make him a Lewis.

Rick tells Beth that he has not seen Phillip in a very long time. They have no clue why he came back to town. Is he normal? Rick is not his doctor but he’s not the same as he was last time. He seems better which would be incredible. He only chatted with Phillip for 5 minutes. Beth no clue how she feels about Phillip being home. He tried to kidnap the kids before. Rick knows because the same thing happened to Jude. Rick says that he helped Phillip after he got shot because he believed that his friend had changed. Rick says that Phillip is still their best friend and they love him.

Buzz pulls back and sees the blood on Phillip’s hands. Phillip did what any person should have. He had no clue it was Coop till he pulled him out of the car. Is Phillip hurt? The car was burning. Phillip is fine. Alan says that it’s Coop’s own fault that he is in the hospital. He was foolish and reckless to try and come after Alan and his wife. Coop was a fool to think he could have changed things. Phillip should have just kept driving and let Coop burn. Phillip looks at his father and steps back. Buzz walks up and punches Alan in the mouth.

Buzz tells Alan that there is no way that he will get away with Coop’s accident. Phillip tells Buzz to back off. Phillip tells his father to leave. Alan will head inside. He would call the cops since Buzz is trespassing but all the Coopers are cops. Phillip again tells his father to leave. Phillip will take care of it. Buzz says it’s not over. What is Phillip doing back in Springfield? Phillip knows he was gone a long time. Phillip knows he was off track the last time. Off track? Buzz chuckles at the understatement. Phillip is not the same man he was last time when he left. Who is he then? Phillip tells Buzz to go back to the hospital and be with his son. Phillip asks if Harley is o.k. He wants Buzz to tell her that he’s not going to hurt her. He just wants to see Zach again. Buzz laughs and says that Harley is gone. She’s halfway around the world. Buzz is glad that Harley missed this reunion. Buzz warns Phillip that Alan can’t hide forever.

Daisy is working at Company when Ashlee shows up. It’s awful news. Thank Daisy for calling her. How is Coop? He’s in surgery. They can close Company and head over. Daisy just wants to wait and take care of the place. Ashlee realizes that Daisy is avoiding her going over. Ashlee knew that Coop had moved on with a new woman. She is probably over there worried about Coop. It’s probably not the best spot to meet at the hospital. Daisy says that she needs to tell Ashlee who it is since Ashlee knows her. It’s Beth. Beth? Ashlee doesn’t know any Beth. Daisy says it’s Lizzie’s mother Beth. It sounds weird but Coop seemed really happy with her. Ashlee read about Beth and Alan’s wedding in the newspaper. Coop was on his way to break it up when he had his car accident. Daisy had this romantic table for two set up for them. It was supposed to be so romantic now Coop is in surgery. Nothing is turning out right. Bill and Lizzie are a mess. Lizzie won’t even talk to him. Ashlee questions where is Grady? Daisy didn’t have a chance to call him. She called Ashlee. Ashlee was connected to Coop just like Daisy is connected to Grady. Daisy says it would be too hard for her family to deal with him as well as Coop. It’s way too familiar with the accident last year that killed Tammy. Alan is involved again. It’s not really good for Grady to be around.


Phillip walks into the mansion and looks around. He smiles. He walks over and sees an old picture of himself, Beth and Lizzie. He picks it up for a second then puts it back on the mantle. He walks upstairs to the study. He looks over the balcony at the whole living room.

Lizzie arrives at Cyrus’ place. She calls out his name. Is he home? Just then she hears a sound and sees Bill falling out an open window on the side of the house. What the heck is Bill doing inside Cyrus’ place?

Beth walks into the house still in her wedding dress. She walks over and pours a glass of scotch. She takes a long sip then feels someone watching her. She looks up and sees Phillip.

Ashlee is helping Daisy work at Company. Ashlee wants to help. Daisy says she doesn’t have to do it. She can go and check on Coop. Daisy can go instead. Daisy promised Buzz she would watch over the place. Ashlee doesn’t want it to be weird between her and Beth. Ashlee says she’s the reason that it ended with Coop. She always thought that maybe down the line….Daisy says that a lot changed with the surgery. Coop will be fine. Maybe this thing with Beth will not work out and Ashlee can have a second chance. Coop will be fine. Buzz walks in and says that Coop is fine. He has to go and make some food. Ashlee is going to go over to the hospital. Daisy is going to watch over her grandfather. Buzz works in the kitchen. He pulls out some potatoes and starts working. People are not going to expect him to feed them. Buzz says what about the people who are waiting over at Company. They have to eat. Buzz could have stopped the accident. He didn’t have to let Coop go. He told Coop to go. Buzz gave him his damn keys. He told him to follow his heart and reach out to the woman he loved. Daisy thinks that is very romantic. Buzz isn’t so sure now.

Alan walks into Cedars. Rick can’t believe that Alan would have the nerve to show his face around there. Is he coming to rub it in Coop’s face. No Alan wants to talk about Phillip. Phillip always turns to Rick first. Rick has no clue why Phillip is back. Did he come back to crash the wedding? Rick has only talked to Phillip for a couple of minutes. Alan wants to know everything that Phillip told him. Rick and Phillip have been through a lot together. He is still his best friend. Alan asks if Phillip is sane again? Rick is not his doctor but so he can’t say for sure. Rick leaves and Alan follows.

Beth sees Phillip as he walks down the stairs. She doesn’t have to be afraid of him. She’s not. Why did she take off at the hospital then? She wasn’t ready to see him yet. She even knew back then that he was alive. She knew he would come back. He just never expected to come back on the day she was marrying his father. Beth says that Phillip has no right to judge her. A lot has changed since he left. Phillip heard. Beth and Coop? Beth and Alan along with Payton? Beth and Rick? She’s not ready to talk about that yet. Does Lizzie know that she’s involved with her ex boyfriend? Lizzie knows. Beth needed him. She did what she had the last couple of years to survive and protect their children. They needed Phillip. She knows she’s made a lot of wrong choices. Phillip says after what he put Beth through he’s got no reason got judge her. Phillip tells Beth she can’t take all the blame. Alan has always wanted her. Phillip says that is wrong on so many levels yet it is very Alan at the same time. Beth says she was going to marry Alan to save Coop. She never meant to hurt him. She has made a lot of mistakes. Was Coop a mistake? No not at all. He made her feel alive and happy and now he’s in the hospital fighting for his life. How is James? He’s been sent away. We … Alan decided it was best. He’s at Lincoln Prep School. Phillip says he should have been there to protect Lizzie. Beth says that Lizzie really needed him. Beth tried to do the right thing with her daughter and reign Alan in. When Lizzie had the baby…. Phillip gets up. Lizzie had a baby. He’s a grandfather. How did the baby die? They thought the baby was dead but Sarah is alive. Who is the father? Jonathon Randall, one of Reva’s sons. Jonathon took Sarah away to protect her from Alan. Beth didn’t do a good job at all while he was gone. Beth tries to leave but Phillip stops her. She never has to apologize to him about anything. He’s sorry he left her to deal with everything after what he did. Phillip pulls Beth into his arms and comforts her. He lightly strokes her hair. Phillip wants to take Beth somewhere. He takes her up the stairs. She still has blood on her dress.


Lizzie asks Bill what he stole from Cyrus’ place. He didn’t steal anything. Why was he there then? To plant evidence on Cyrus. He wants Lizzie to find it so she will doubt Cyrus. She trusts Cyrus right now more than anyone. Bill can’t seem to get why she trusts Cyrus more than Bill. Bill starts to say something but stops. Lizzie starts rummaging through Bill’s pockets to make sure he didn’t steal anything. She instead find the pic of herself and Phillip when she was younger. Where did he get this? Bill leaves. Lizzie runs after him. She asked him a question . Where did he get the pictures? Has he been in contact with Phillip? Phillip left it behind at the cabin. Bill thought it was a good idea to find Phillip with the way that Alan was controlling Lizzie. Maybe Phillip could knock some sense into his daughter. Bill found out where Phillip was living but just missed him. He found the pictures instead. Lizzie didn’t ask him to do that. Bill was desperate. He though it was a good idea. Bill says that Lizzie has been different since the kidnapping. He doesn’t have to save her. She’s fine. He can go back to his drinking and stay the heck out of her life. Lizzie turns and leaves.

Buzz walks out of the kitchen with a box of food. Daisy asks if he meant what he said about doubting if he did the right thing by telling Coop to follow his heart. Coop is in surgery now because of it. He encouraged him to go after the woman he loved. Buzz keeps on seeing his face so alive so proud now… Buzz picks up the box of food and leaves for Cedars.

Alan walks after Rick at Cedars. Alan asks what exactly Phillip told him. Phillip pulled a gun on Alan at the grave site. He looked like he was going to shoot Alan. Rick quips it’s not the first time someone has tried to kill Alan on his wedding day. Alan wants to know if Phillip is all there. Rick says that Phillip may have brought the gun for self defence since Alan did shoot him the last time they saw each other. Alan says Phillip actually thanked him for doing it. What has Phillip been doing? Rick would know more than anyone else. Rick says they have spoken for a couple of times. Phillip had to finish some things. Why did he come home on Alan’s wedding to Beth? Is that a chance happening? No it was because of Lizzie. Bill came to Rick asking about Phillip. Rick suggested a couple of places where Phillip could be. If Bill is the reason that Phillip is home. It’s a good thing so far. Phillip saved Coop and Beth from marrying Alan on the same day. He’s there to clean up some mistakes. Rick says that is enough so far that his friend is back.

Phillip leads Beth to her bedroom. He wants to help her. There is still blood on her dress. She can take care of herself. Phillip knows that. He just wants to help her. Phillip starts to undo the wedding dress. He thought about all of his kids while he was gone. Rick kept giving him updates but it became too painful after a bit. James must be a man now. He looks so much like his father. Phillip still can’t believe that his daughter had a baby. He can’t wrap his head around that concept. She’s been through a lot. She was kidnapped a couple of months ago. She wasn’t hurt physically. There were no people captured though Bill was a prime suspect. Does Beth think that Bill could have done it? Beth doesn’t think so. Phillip should have been there to protect his daughter. He pulls out a lavender robe for Beth. He helps her pull it on. Is he going to stay this time? Phillip pulls back. She should get back to the hospital. He will hope for the best for Coop. Phillip leaves and Beth breaks down sobbing.

Buzz is at the hospital with the food. He’s lost. Beth calls his name. There is no news yet. Is Buzz all alone? No, Marina Mallet and Frank are all in the cafeteria. Rick comes out. Coop is out of surgery and in recover. He’s resting. There was a lot of damage to his liver and internal bleeding. They tried to stop as much of the bleeding as they could. Coop is in critical condition. When will he wake up? Rick is not sure. He will try to stop in and check on Buzz. All they can do is wait now. Buzz turns to leave. Where is he going? What is Beth supposed to say to his family.

Alan is walking down the street and sees Bill. Bill is sorry he missed the wedding. It was eventful. Beth came to her senses and not marry Alan. Not yet. No, Bill got what he wanted. Phillip is back.

Lizzie looks over the crash site. Phillip walks behind her. He looks at his daughter and says hi sweetheart. Lizzie is stunned to see her father standing across from her.

Preview: Phillip saying hi sweetheart again. Olivia finds out that Phillip is back. Olivia vows to kill Phillip for real this time. Lizzie tells her father she wishes he was still dead.

Fathers and Sons

Dinah asks Josh and Reva to create a diversion with Shayne as she toys with Edmund. Coop is rushed into surgery but not before he has a chance to talk to Buzz , Beth and Frank. Phillip tells Rick there are a lot of things that he didn’t tell him. A lot is changed. Buzz confronts Alan..

Previously - Phillip rescuing Coop, Alan and Beth wedding with anyone want to object and Phillip shows up. Coop’s accident with Phillip rescuing him. Buzz and Frank seeing Coop in the hospital.


Alan and Phillip are by Phillip’s grave stone. Phillip says that the bullet wound doesn’t hurt anymore where Alan shot him. Alan asks why his son came back.


Rick says that Coop is going into shock. They have to put a central line in now. Buzz is horrified watching Rick work on his son. Rick calls out saying he needs help because Coop’s pressure is dropping.

Beth is shaken as she walks into the bathroom. She looks down and sees the blood on her dress. Coop can’t see that. Beth tries to brush it off but it doesn’t work. She sees a lab coat off to the side and puts it on.


Dinah arrives at Shayne’s place. He opens the door and Dinah can tell something is off. What is going on? Why is he acting so weird? Shayne walks over and picks up a small ring case. He touches the ribbons lightly on it.

Josh and Reva are walking in Cedars when they see Frank. What is going on? Coop was in a car accident. Reva is stunned. Will he be o.k? Frank is not sure.

Buzz is in tears as he asks Rick if he can save his son. Is Coop going to make it? Rick says he has a good team working with him. Can Buzz see his son for a moment? Of course. Buzz tells Coop that he’s there. Coop has to fight to live. Beth enters shaken at seeing her love on the table. How is he? Coop awakens to Beth’s voice. Where is he? He’s a Cedars. Beth is there a long with Beth. Did she marry Alan? No. Coop coughs and winces then says good. He did his job.

Alan and Phillip are still at the grave. Is Gus buried around here somewhere? Alan says no. Phillip is sorry that his brother is gone. He was a good guy. There were so many times after Phillip was shot that he felt as if he was dead. It is such a scary feeling. There were times he wished that he hadn’t survived the shooting. The future was so uncertain for him. Alan says he knows that. Phillip couldn’t stop. Couldn’t stop what son? Thinking about the life he left behind in Springfield. The family and his children. There is still a lot of unfinished business left to do. Phillip pulls a gun out of his pocket.

“ Only love ….”

Phillip caresses the gun in his hand as he looks at Alan. Alan tells Phillip to put the gun down. Phillip says right that is the first thing Alan talked to Phillip about. Don’t play with a loaded gun because always a chance it could go off. Phillip says they have a lot to catch up on. Alan has always regretted pulling the trigger on Phillip. He did it to save his son. He had no choice. He had to save Phillip from himself. Alan asks for Phillip to give him a chance to tell the truth. Phillip says he has a lot to catch up on. So Alan was going to marry Beth? Alan has taken care of Beth and the kids. He cares for them as if they were his own family. Does Beth love him? Not like she loved Phillip. Phillip agrees that Alan shooting him was for the best in the end. He was going down a very dark road that would have been the end of him. Alan saved him from himself. He just wished that the bullet hole didn’t hurt so much. Phillip says he’s not going to kill Alan today he has other things to take care of.

Beth and Buzz sit with Coop. What happened? He was in a car wreck. Coop says he’s sorry for doing that to Buzz’s car. Buzz says he can pay him back. Coop coughs and winces in pain. Did Beth marry Alan? No she didn’t. Coop did it. Coop asks for just a couple of minutes with Beth. Buzz leaves. Beth sits close. Coop tells her to stop sobbing. He reassures her that he will be fine. Beth says he’s such a crazy man. What was he going to do run up the aisle and punch Alan out? Perhaps. He couldn’t let Beth marry Alan. It wasn’t right. Beth says she’s not going to marry Alan now. Coop can still save her. He has to get well. Beth is in tears. Coop is reassuring her. Rick comes in and says that Coop needs to rest. Coop doesn’t want her to go. Beth says that he can rest. They will talk later. She’s not going to leave him again. Beth kisses Coop.

Buzz walks down the hallway and sees Reva and Josh. What can they do? Buzz says there was a car accident. Was there ice on the road? Coop was going to stop Alan and Beth’s wedding. Did Alan know? Buzz can’t think about that right now. He has to go and call his family. Have they seen Frank? He was just there a moment ago.

Dinah asks what Shayne bought for Lara for her birthday. It was a ring that he found. He was going to ask her to marry him. He was. Maybe Edmund would want the ring now. He’s going to be there soon. It’s just a ring. Nothing important. Dinah can’t believe that Shayne is even saying that. Edmund is not part of their love story. Edmund was Lara’s father. He can never learn the truth about the accident. Shayne knows that Edmund has done a lot of stuff. Dinah says yeah. He left her to die in a burning farmhouse. Edmund can charm and weasel a way into a persons life. Shayne gets irritated by Dinah and asks for the ring back. Dinah picks up her coat and leaves just as Edmund shows up at the door. Edmund asks how Dinah is. Dinah says that some people never change. Edmund smirks.

Josh and Reva are at Company. Reva is nibbling on some crackers. Dinah walks in and says there is trouble. It’s Lara’s birthday. Shayne was just in his apartment staring at the ring. Reva asks why Dinah didn’t stay and help Shayne. She tried to but he booted her out. He is getting way to close to Edmund each day. Josh agrees with that. Dinah says she needs some backup in order to take care of Edmund. Dinah has experience with Edmund. She knows personally what his scary side is. She doesn’t want Shayne to have to see that.

Edmund and Shayne are sharing a toast to Lara at Towers. Edmund says they should celebrate this day together every year. Shayne says that is a good idea. Shayne’s phone rings. It’s Reva. She was coming out of her chemo appointment and ran into Buzz Cooper. Coop was in a horrible car accident. Shayne may remember him. Reva started thinking about her own son. Shayne says he’s fine. Reva would really like to see her son. Shayne agrees. He tells Edmund he has to go. Edmund says thanks for the drink. Shayne leaves.


Buzz is waiting in the hallway when Frank shows up. Where was he? He had to check in the station. Any changes? Coop is awake. He’s heading to surgery. It’s really serious. Buzz asks all sorts of questions about the car crash. Does Frank know if the car was tampered with? The team is looking into that. Buzz has to stay focused right now. Frank tells his father that Alan did call Coop right before the accident. Buzz questions why Alan would do that.

Beth is outside in tears when Alan shows up. She tells him to stay back. She told him to stay away from her. Alan just wanted to make sure that Beth was o.k. He knows that it was very traumatic for her. How is her friend? He’s critical. Alan says he’s been praying with the minister. The minister? He’s in the car. Alan want to go back to the chapel and continue their wedding vows. Beth says they are finished. She will never marry him. Beth runs away.

Phillip walks up to Cedars. Rick is outside having a drink. How is Coop? He’s in surgery. Rick tells Phillip not to go in right away. Rick asks who came back his friend or the man who kidnapped his son. Phillip understands that. Phillip asks if Beth loves Alan. Rick says no. Beth actually loves Coop. Phillip says that makes sense with Beth’s reaction at the church. Phillip says that Rick left out a lot of stuff when he told Phillip what had happened the last bit.

Phillip questions if he heard that right with Rick and Beth. They were together for a bit. Alan was married to Beth the first time. She and Rick started as an affair. Rick has always loved Beth. Phillip knows that. Rick says he came to the realization it was just high school memories. Rick is sorry. He knows this is a lot for Phillip to digest. Phillip says the same thing happened to him while he was gone. He had a lot to digest and figure out who he was. He had to learn how to control that dark side. Phillip imagined a lot of scenarios coming back but not this. Rick gets that. It’s just blue skies and palamino ponies. Phillip says it’s good to see Rick. What is the plan? He wants to see his kids. The mothers are not going to let that happen. Phillip will get through to them eventually. Rick says he has to head back inside. He tells Phillip to leave before anyone sees him yet.

Beth is outside in tears. She can’t breathe. Alan shows up. Beth tells Alan to get away from her. He wanted to see her because he knew how upset she was. Beth says that Coop got into that car because of them. He wanted to stop the wedding. Alan says they are not to blame. Coop showed terrible judgment with trying to stop the wedding. Alan grabs Beth’s arm. If he loved her he would not be forcing her into this marriage. Beth is doing what is best. Coop was reckless. Was? Beth tells Alan not to do that. Alan says sorry that was slip of the tongue. Alan suggests getting out of there. She can’t talk or look at him right now. She is never ever going to let Alan touch her again. She doesn’t care what he does to her. She is not marrying him. Alan says all she needs is time.


Reva is at Company waiting with Josh when Shayne shows up. She’s not alone. She ran into Josh at the hospital. He was getting the permits for the new wing they want to work on. Shayne says that Reva could have talked to him on the phone. Reva wanted a hug from her son. Shayne realizes that Dinah spilled the beans about Lara’s birthday. She told them about the ring. Reva asks if he will tell them. No. They are not going to talk about that. Shayne wants to leave. Reva says that she ordered a cake. Chocolate. It’s still his favourite right. Just have one slice with them.

Dinah is at Towers. She orders a glass of red wine. She looks over and sees Edmund. Is she still not speaking to him? He was doing some work with Shayne today. He had to go see Reva. Dinah is sorry about Edmund’s daughter. It has to be a tough day for him. He does know how it will end right though for both of them. They are Lewis. Dinah and Edmund are not part of that perfect little circle. Edmund say Shayne is not like the others. They are working together. It gives them focus. Of course. Dinah remarks that the man behind Edmund is watching him. Edmund says actually Rock has been following him. Edmund invites Rock down. It’s been a while Mr. Winslow. Do they know each other? Edmund laughs not in the biblical sense but he’s an associate of Jeffrey’s and therefore not a friend of Edmund’s. Dinah says that is interesting since Jeffrey has been one of Edmund’s biggest champions yet he even has a man following Edmund. What does that say?

Buzz and Frank wait as Coop is pulled out for surgery. The nurse works on him. Frank remarks that a lot of cute nurses are around. Coop is sorry for the car. Buzz says it’s fine. Frank says Coop can borrow his car next time. Coop says not thanks to that offer. Coop winces as the pain becomes stronger. Frank questions did Alan call him? Yes. About Beth? Yes. He never made it to the wedding. They didn’t get married. At least not today. Coop did his job. Frank agrees that his brother saved Beth. Coop says a guy in a sweatshirt pulled him out of the car. He wants to thank him. He loves both of them. Tell Rocky the same thing. Frank says that Coop can tell his little brother that himself. Rick says it’s time to go. Coop is wheeled away. Buzz says he needs to walk and clear his head.


Beth is in tears outside as she sits on a rock wall. She looks down a the blood on her hands. In the distance Phillip watches her. Beth reacts when she sees Phillip. Phillip walks up and sits beside her. Beth can’t do it and runs away.

Dinah and Edmund are still at Towers. Dinah describes the man she found in Germany. He wasn’t walking or talking. She was the one that got him back to living. She thought that there may have been something there. Edmund is intrigued. Dinah learned though that she would never be accepted by the Lewis family. Bill is a Lewis doesn’t that change things. No. They will never trust her. They are tight knit family. Shayne is their golden boy. Edmund and Dinah will never be let into that inner circle. Edmund says that Shayne is his own man. He loved Lara. If Edmund trusted the Lewis family he would have told them about Lara’s pregnancy. Dinah told him not to. Dinah says that is not true. He doesn’t trust the Lewis family. Dinah gets that.

Reva, Josh and Shayne are eating cake. Shayne says that Reva is about to pop and have that baby. Reva knows that. She’s not ready to sing happy birthday to his baby brother yet. Did Lara like chocolate? She liked honesty. Would Shayne have come if they told him what was up? No. They care about their son and they all need him. Shayne’s phone rings. It’s Edmund. Edmund says that some high rollers from the embassy are coming to town. It would be a good way to get money for the care center. Shayne says he’d love to help but he’s at a doctor’s appointment right now. Shayne will call Edmund later. Edmund is not impressed as Dinah watches.


Beth walks in and sees Frank. Is she o.k. ? How is Coop? He’s gone into surgery. Beth had so much more she wanted to tell Coop. Frank says that she can talk to Coop when he gets out. She can talk to him later. He was in good spirits right before and cracking jokes. It’s a good sign. Beth agrees. He ’s going to be fine. Where is Buzz? He went out to clear his head.

Reva, Josh and Shayne sit at the table. What was her last birthday like? Shayne says that he got a ton of balloons and hid it in a tent. Edmund arrives outside and sees the close moment. She loved chocolate cake. He had all sorts of other treats for her. It was a feast. As the sun went down. Shayne took her toward the tent to be surprised. The problem was a pair of foxes had gotten inside and were eating the food. All Lara did was look at him and laugh. Dinah watches as Edmund is left out of the party.

Phillip arrives back at his grave site. He looks at it and shakes his head. Nothing makes sense.

Beth paces in the hallway as she waits. Rick shows up. Rick says that it will be a bit. Beth can go and rest. Beth tells Rick that she saw Phillip. What did she do? She just ran away. She didn’t say anything about them.

Alan is outside on his property when Buzz shows up. Buzz is furious. How did Buzz get through the gate? Buzz says that it’s Alan’s fault that Coop is in the hospital. Buzz say not it’s time for Alan to be in the hospital as well. Buzz lunges at Alan with a rock in his hand only to be stopped by Phillip. Buzz is stunned.

Preview: Buzz confronting Alan and asking if Phillip was a part of the accident.

Phillip Happens Here.

Good news!!! Thanks Thorny!

I read the post Wendy made and wondered if they were going to ruin the suspense with vague and uninteresting/unimportant scenes with Marina, but it sounds like not.

Thanks Thorny, Sounds great.

Paula, I was thinking the same thing when I posted that last night.
I was so hoping I didn't have to see M&M too much today.

cihanl Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:07 PM

I can't wait to see Buzz! He's gonna need a and I'm sensing he's going to wonder why he never listened to a "vision". But first I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction to Phillip...Wendy and Steph are watching right now. I wish I was too


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:11 PM

So far. so good! We have Frank, Buzz and Daisy in the diner. Mallet and Marina at the adoption agency, the church with Lillian, Lizzie, Rick and Alan. Beth getting ready and Phillip coming on the scene of the accident.


--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:13 PM

Loved Lillian trying to get everyone to talk Beth out of it.


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:21 PM

I love Lillian trying to be the voice of reason. Rick also wants to stop Beth, but, she won't listen. Oh and the look and poor Beth's face!


--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:30 PM

MY PHILLIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL at the preacher's face when Alan is saying his "vows".

Why is everybody just walking past Coop in the hospital?


--------------------
cihanl Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:31 PM

Because the only doctor and nurse are at the wedding?


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:32 PM

OMG!!! The perfect soapy moment when Phillip walks in the church!!

I honestly don't know what is up at Cedars!! Poor Coop!

I feel bad they missed Phillip's phone call at Company.


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:33 PM

Paula, lots of Cedars staff are shown walking right past bloody Coop on a gurney!


--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:35 PM

Poor Buzz He looked like he was going to have a heart attack when he was talking to Marina and she told him about the car.
I even felt sorry for Marina when she was telling him.


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:41 PM

Marina isn't even bothering me today. The look on her face that Coop talked to Alan last before the accident!

Poor Coop, is still laying in the hospital unnoticed, calling Beth's name.

I can't believe in the middle of everything Alan says to Phillip, "Welcome home, son."


--------------------
cihanl Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:43 PM

Seriously? Alan says that? Seriously? I cannot wait to watch!


--------------------
Thornbirds Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:48 PM

Yes, he says that, Paula...

But tell me where are all these wedding guests that Alan wanted to prove to them that he and Beth are solid and back on track...What's the point of having a "BIG town wedding"...when no one is even there???? That was just silly (cheap!!)


--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:49 PM

Typical Alan saying that.

Poor Phillip is completely lost. He has no idea why Beth took off when he mentioned Coop .

I was jumping up and down when Beth reached for Phillips face, fainited and then reached up again.
When Phillip was coming in Lillian so happy, Rick in disbelief, and Alan LOL just scowling.

RIck just stopped by .He just don't understand.


--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:52 PM

Thorny , Rick just asked me the same thing about the huge church and no guests and then he said well it is Alan's wedding.


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:56 PM

No guests unless you count Lizzie, who misses the drama and Bill playing drunk who was outside with Lizzie!

The church and the flowers were beautiful, but, no one is there. Apparently Alan's groupies deserted him too! Guess he really isn't proving anything to the people of Springfield since almost nobody showed up.



--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:56 PM

That is the first time in forever that I didn't even realize the time and that the show was over. I love the previews for tomorrow.


--------------------
cihanl Posted: Feb 10 2009, 03:59 PM

Alan just wants the headlines - he knew better than to expect a live crowd, LOL!

So Lizzie doesn't even know about Phillip yet? Man, I can't wait to watch!


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 04:00 PM

Today did go by fast, Wendy! I was kind of surprised it was over so quickly! Good soapy drama today. I loved how the scenes interspersed with each other and the camera work. The reactions of the characters and just everything! Today is a definite lighthouse show!


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 04:02 PM

Paula, Lizzie knows nothing, she was busy arguing with Bill and calling a cab for him. When she walks back in the church she finds Beth's bouquet laying in the aisle!


--------------------
Thornbirds Posted: Feb 10 2009, 04:02 PM

That moment between Phillip and Beth was AMAZING! I've waited years for a scene just like that!

Also when they thought Beth was bleeding...so did I...I was like...My God, a miscarriage!


--------------------
smiley Posted: Feb 10 2009, 04:04 PM

I loved the show today! It reminded me of the old days when I watched, before the internet and spoilers, when I would be on the edge of my parents' bed (because I had to watch on the upstairs television, so not to influence my younger brother!). I would be on the edge of my seat, just waiting for a big moment like Phillip walking into the church (but back then it would've been Roger grabbing Holly and kissing her or something).

I loved seeing lots of characters interacting with each other.

I also liked Lizzie's comment "Grandpa is up there with death and taxes!" Good witty writing and also such compelling acting today. Just great.


--------------------
dgct2 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 04:05 PM

Buzz should sue Cedars for just leaving Coop on the gurney like that. Buzz is right he's somebody's son. UGH that doctor oh well we didn't know who he was. I didn't realize that was a criterion in emergency car. Justin Deas rocked his scenes today when Buzz was telling Coop that he was there. Beth shivering in the corner as the others were watching Coop being worked on by Rick and Lillian really had my heart.

ITA the scenes with Beth and Phillip were gothic as they slowly walk to each other. Man Beth looked like she was heading to the gallows rather than a happy wedding.

Loved Phillip talking to Alan at the grave. That is going to be a very good scene tomorrow.

Overall a really good show. It went very quickly.


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 04:09 PM

I love how Justin Deas went from the more light hearted scenes at the start of the show to the heavier stuff towards the end of the show. I can't imagine that the hospital staff wouldn't have at least checked for Coop's i.d. The guy is laying there semi concious and bleeding!

I loved the Phillip and Beth scene in the church! That was good!

Can't wait for tomorrow!


--------------------
marinaskye Posted: Feb 10 2009, 04:23 PM

I could not believe any hospital would just leave someone lying there bleeding all over the floor. Cedars has really gone downhill since Ed left town.


--------------------
intothelight Posted: Feb 10 2009, 08:45 PM

This show was great-what a mixture of emotion! Family bonding, anxiousness, hate, love, happy, sad, etc. This show had it all. And the dialog and one-liners were perfect. And Phillip and Beth



IVN would be so proud of BC in this story.

M-40 Posted: Feb 10 2009, 09:46 PM

I must agree with everyone that Philip's return did not disappoint. Today's show really felt like GL

RM, your comment represents the sentiments of us all!

DGCT, great recap.

I also enjoyed reading the "streaming" comments all of you were making as the show was actually airing.

What a tremendous episode today. Interlocking storylines, drama, fine performances, and wit. What more could we ask for? MORE! And I am sure we won't be disappointed.

Great Phillip and Alan scene:
Phillip: It doesn't hurt anymore.
Alan: What?
Phillip: Where you SHOT me!

I love this show!


--------------------
cihanl Posted: Feb 11 2009, 11:09 AM

Yes, that was funny! It really was great the way they mixed some truly humorous stuff like Buzz/Frank/Daisy before the truth was known, Lillian and Lizzie's sad but funny conversation about changing Beth's mind - love the look Lillian gave Lizzie! Alan's vows, Beth's response as to what she had to say to Alan, and even Phillip's comment at the end about it not hurting where Alan shot him. They were all emotional and yet humorous moments - filled in with all the drama of Coop's accident, the family's pain, his suffering (needlessly!) in the hospital, and of course the Beth sees Phillip scene.
Again, really, really, excellent episode!


--------------------
MinnieBannister Posted: Feb 11 2009, 12:05 PM

I agree with all of you, fantastic show yesterday. Very exciting. Great writing and acting.

QUOTE
Why is everybody just walking past Coop in the hospital?

That must be part of the new realism they've brought to the show. That's exactly what would have happened at my local hospital.

My one nitpick with the episode was why would Phillip go to the mansion after dropping off Coop rather than across the street to Company to tell Buzz? He was calling information to get the phone number of Company to call, but he never called. I think they dropped the ball a bit there. Other than that, though, excellent episode.

That waiting room where Mallet and Marina were at the adoption agency is really the lobby area of the GL production offices. We sat there waiting for Ron Raines to meet us for our studio tour. When we were there that flat screen TV you saw on the wall showed what was currently being filmed.

--------------------
JaneW Posted: Feb 11 2009, 12:31 PM

Hi Minnie! I thought that Phillip tried to call Company, but Daisy was too busy decorating to answer the phone. I also thought that Phillip meant he stopped by the mansion, headed to the church, and THEN found Coop. I don't always pay attention, but that's how I interpreted the scene. Which still means he headed over to the church rather than Company to tell Buzz about his son . . . but hey, he had to interrupt the wedding!


--------------------
cihanl Posted: Feb 11 2009, 12:32 PM

Minnie - they didn't drop the ball on that one - at first I thought it was odd, too, because the first time he said he went to the house it sounded like he went there after saving Coop. But the second time Phillip said he went to the house, he said they told him about the wedding, he was on his way to the church, THEN he saw the car and saved Coop - and then he continued on to the church.

I thought maybe Phillip continued to the church because he knew Rick was there or something, since he asked where RIck was when he was dropping Coop off in that fine medical establishment.


--------------------
stephw27 Posted: Feb 11 2009, 12:36 PM

I was under the impression that Phillip went to the mansion first, found Coop on the way to the church, took Coop to the hospital, called Company, but, noone answered (Daisy said whoever called would probably call back), then Phillip made his way to the church.


--------------------
wrdowen Posted: Feb 11 2009, 12:37 PM

Thanks , That's the way I saw it too.

Miinnie, It's really sad how many posts I've read saying that hospitals are like that in many places.That is scary.


--------------------
cihanl Posted: Feb 11 2009, 01:03 PM

Steph - that's what I heard too. Phillip probably didn't have any idea who else to call when no one answered at Company - from the look on his face, he's certainly not up with the happenings in Springfield!


--------------------
JaneW Posted: Feb 11 2009, 02:44 PM

Still he should have stopped by Company, it is across the street from Cedars! I think he just really needed to stop that wedding!

Dayna's In-depth Recap and Charleyfan's Clips: Episode 15608, February 10, 2009

A Light In The Window

Buzz and the Coopers find out about Coop’s accident. Phillip rescues Coop then Beth. Beth finds out about Coop. Bill continues to lie to Lizzie.

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.

Desperate Measures

Bill fakes being drunk to get the goods on Cyrus whom he believes kidnapped Lizzie, Lizzie and Cyrus grow closer, Alan taunts Coop as Beth overhears. She is furious with Alan and realizes he will never stop taunting Coop. Alan says the Spauldings have to show confidence to the outside world. Buzz gets some no nonsense advice from someone close about Coop. Coop rushes off. An unlikely person from the past comes to Coop’s rescue.

Previously - Buzz looks Coop in the basement, Alan tells Beth that she will say I do when the minister asks her, Bill finds Cyrus in Lizzie’s bedroom.


At Spaulding Lewis, Cyrus is working at his desk when Bill shows up. Bill is looking for Lizzie. Cyrus feigns not knowing who Bill is talking about. Bill leaves. Cyrus admits he knows who Bill was talking about. Cyrus says he can pencil Bill in for next week if he really needs to talk to Lizzie. Bill laughs. Cyrus says Bill could leave a message and Cyrus will make sure that Lizzie gets that. Just like he gets her coffee and such. Cyrus says he doesn’t mind that Lizzie is the boss. Cyrus’ manhood is intact. Bill says good as long as it is not elsewhere. Bill needs to see Lizzie. Cyrus suggests email. Cyrus hands Bill a brand spanking new business card. He just had them made up. Bill says that this communication is private. Cyrus says then even more he should make sure what is being said. Bill looks at Cyrus.

Lizzie enters the study at the Spaulding Mansion. Beth is in there putting away her law books in a box. Lizzie asks if the invitation is a joke. Beth says her daughter should be happy with the news of the impending nuptials. Beth came to her senses about Coop. Lizzie says then what was all that hogwash she was talking about Coop changing her life for the better. Beth says she was foolish and self indulgent. She realized the truth in time thank goodness. Alan means more to Beth then any meaningless fling or school. This is where Beth belongs by Alan’s side. Lizzie realizes that Alan figured out the truth.

Alan arrives at Cedars to find Rick. Rick tells Alan to just go home and rest whatever the problem is off. Actually instead he can keep the headache. That would be more perfect. Alan says it’s not a medical issue in fact it’s a reason to celebrate. Rick questions if he’s on candid camera right now. Alan and Beth are getting married today and Alan wants Rick to be his best man.

In Marina’s basement, Coop is yelling out at Alan from behind the locked door. Coop says that Alan can’t keep him away from Beth. Coop will find a way to be with her.

Buzz touches her face to see if she is real. Buzz realizes that he is dreaming. Jenna tries to reassure Buzz. Buzz kisses and hugs his wife. Jenna says she is there to tell her husband that he’s being a horse’s ass where Coop is concerned.

“ Only love …..”

Back at Marina’s house, Coop is trying to break out of the basement from a window but no luck. He finds a lock box and then the key. He opens the lock box and pulls out a gun. Coop walks up the stairs and shoots the lock off the door. Coop rushes out to his red car which is sitting out front. He gets inside but the piece of junk will not start. Coop curses. He gets out and pops the hood. He finds out that the person pulled out his spark plugs. Coop says that this will not stop him. Coop says that there is not going to be any wedding today. Coop grabs the gun and takes off to stop Beth’s wedding.

At the boarding house, Buzz tells Jenna that this is not a dream it’s a nightmare instead. Jenna tells Buzz to get up. She’s not letting him go back to sleep. Buzz touches her face again. She is there. Coop was hell bent on seeing Beth. Jenna says that Coop loves Beth. Buzz says that Coop thinks he does. Jenna says that their son does love Beth. It’s not about thinking. Buzz says then somebody has to do the thinking for him and save him. Buzz says that Jenna should look and see how their boy has turned out. Jenna calls Coop their shining star. Buzz says that Coop has an incredible future. Jenna knows. She can see that. The book came from Coop’s heart. It’s filled with his love for Beth. He had a head until Beth came along and filled it up with ideas. Jenna questions why Coop can’t take a chance and roll the dice. See what happens. Buzz says she can’t do that. She can’t throw his words in his face. That’s what wives are supposed to do especially dead ones. If it was Buzz, he would go for broke and see what happens. Coop is their son. Buzz can’t let Coop make that mistake. Was Jenna a mistake? Buzz says that is not fair. Has Buzz ever regretted anything for taking a chance on love ? Love with Jenna. Never. Buzz kisses his wife passionately then awakens to realizing what he has to do.

At Cedars, Rick looks at the invitation. Rick says it’s so sick even for Alan. Alan reassures Rick that Beth wants to marry him very much. Rick assumed that Alan’s delusion stopped after his brain surgery. Every couple has it’s up and downs but Beth came back to him even more devoted then before. Rick questions where the devotion came from. Did Alan threaten Payton? The wedding may be sudden but Beth is impulsive. One moment chili dogs the next it’s caviar. She’s very finicky. Rick says it’s not that easy. Alan did something. Like Alan could force Beth to do anything. Rick then questions if Alan was the last person to find out about Beth’s affair with Coop. Does Alan not hear everyone laughing behind his back? Alan says fine let them laugh but he will be laughing last. He got the girl. Rick says that Coop and Beth make a wonderful couple much more than Alan and Beth. Alan says then it’s no to being his best man? Rick says that is not true. He will be at the wedding to support Beth. She needs someone to remind her why she should leave Alan at the alter. Rick will see Alan at the wedding.

Bill tosses Cyrus’ business card into the trash at Spaulding Lewis. Cyrus says that was not a good idea. Bill lost Cyrus’s private number and with his lousy memory how will he remember what it is. Bill hopes that Cyrus doesn’t take advantage of Lizzie especially now that she is vulnerable. Vulnerable? That is not the Lizzie Cyrus knows. Bill says then Cyrus has no clue who Lizzie really is. Cyrus does know what Lizzie needs right now and that would be Cyrus. Cyrus needs to be there with Bill hanging on to his shares of Spaulding Lewis. Cyrus tells Bill to show a little pride to just walk away. Cyrus turns to walk away and his dog tags jingle. Bill grabs Cyrus’ arm and asks what he just heard. It’s a dog tag - a family heirloom. The dog tags continue to jingle. Anything else? Cyrus will let Lizzie know that Bill was there but don’t expect Lizzie to get back to him anytime soon. She’s busy with family. Bill has flashes of the kidnapper and assumes that Cyrus did the deed. Bill is shocked.

Bill is now at Company with Billy. He tells his father how it was hell before not having any memory but now it is even worse because he couldn’t prove he was innocent. Now he can. Billy questions so Bill heard a sound so Cyrus is guilty? It was the sound of dog tags jingling. Cyrus wears them. So does the kidnapper. Bill remembers hearing the sound when he went to do the ransom drop. Billy says the accusation is pretty lean. Cyrus made a move before with the Spaulding’s when he was married to Alexandra. This does fit his motive. Billy says that Cyrus is crook but a kidnapper is a bit of a stretch. The kidnapping got Cyrus everything with Lizzie. A bright future and a good job. Billy agrees now that it’s possible. It’s motive, means, and opportunity. Can Bill prove it ? Bill says that if he goes to Lizzie and says he’s got his memory back, she will think that he’s a liar. Billy admits he though the same thing as well. Billy sees the truth so will Lizzie. She would have before doubts crept in before Alan got her back in his web before Cyrus…Billy suggests going to the cops. Bill says the Cops will laugh him out of the police station. What is Bill going to do then. Get drunk and let Cyrus win? Bill says that is a great idea. Billy is puzzled. Bill pulls out the invitation. They can crash a wedding together.

Alan looks at the wedding rings in the Study as Lizzie enters. She questions if her granddad really wants to go through with this. Alan questions what he told his granddaughter the first time about the stock market. It’s all about confidence. Alan tells her to elaborate. When people have no confidence in a company, it has no where to go but down no matter what it does. Alan says that it’s the same with families. It’s about confidence. He has to show how strong the Spaulding family is. Lizzie says there has to be another way. Does he have to marry Beth? Beth could just have her life and he has is life. Alan says that was fine before her tawdry affair with Coop when she made a fool of him with everyone around town. Alan is not forcing Beth to marry him. Alan is sorry that Lizzie had to lie about the affair. Lizzie says she didn’t have to do it. She was protecting her grandfather. Just like Alan was protecting Lizzie from Bill. Lizzie says right all you need is family. Alan says that is very astute of Lizzie. Alan says that he has to marry Beth to show that their family is stronger and more unified then before. No one will ever laugh at Alan again.

Coop runs down the road and finds Buzz by the car. Buzz knew where he was going to be. Buzz knows what Coop is going to do. Buzz can’t stop him. He has to stop the wedding. Buzz says he already tried once but it didn’t work. Coop realizes that it was Buzz not Alan that locked him in the basement. Buzz was trying to help. He hoped that Coop would calm down after the wedding. Coop gets why his father did it. Buzz says then Coop forgives him. Coop punches Buzz in the mouth.


Bill and Billy discuss their plan as Bill prepares to take a sip of booze. Bill is going to crash the wedding. He’s going to make a fool of himself on purpose. Billy says he can’t start drinking. Bill knows that Cyrus did it because of the dog tags. Bill needs a plan so he’s going to fly under the radar and make Cyrus think that he’s won. Cyrus will underestimate him then Bill will be able to gather evidence against Cyrus. Bill will make a fool of himself at the wedding. Cyrus will think he got away with everything. He will think that Bill is some drunk loser. Billy looks at his son. Bill is sorry for hurting Billy but the history does not hurt. Billy says then you need to make it more convincing. So they are going to work together as partners.

Cyrus walks into the study. He finds Lizzie in a blue robe. She’s getting ready for the wedding. Cyrus says that the florist just dropped off flowers for Beth. Lizzie says fine. He can just put them down. Cyrus walks over and pours himself a cup of coffee. He tells Lizzie that someone asked for her at the office. Was it anyone she knew? It was Bill. Bill said it was important. He was looking for an excuse to see Lizzie. What did Cyrus tell him? Cyrus said that Lizzie was too busy and if Bill wanted to talk to Lizzie then he would have to go through Cyrus. Cyrus questions if he crossed the line. Lizzie says not that is good. In fact she’s been looking at more work for him since he will not have to follow Coop anymore. So it’s a happy ending with the wedding ? Something like that. What does she want him to do? Watch her back. Cyrus says he prefers that job much more. Cyrus moves closer and sits across from Lizzie. They passionately kiss. Lizzie pulls back and blushes. Cyrus says she looked like she needed that. He asks if he’s fired again. Not yet. Cyrus hopes that Lizzie enjoys the wedding. Lizzie smiles. Cyrus looks back at her. Lizzie pulls out the bouquet and smells it. Cyrus starts with wedding music as he’s giggling. Lizzie says that is enough. Thank you. She can’t help but smirk. Cyrus leaves.

Alan and Beth are in the living room. Alan passes over Beth a box. He asks her to open it. Beth can’t do that. Alan says of course she can. He says that that necklace is an heirloom from his great aunt Louise. It’s a Spaulding treasure. She was planning on not wearing anything with her wedding dress. Alan says of course she will. She will look like a Spaulding then. Alan has always given Beth trinkets. Alan attempts to kiss Beth but she pulls away. She tells him to forget it all. Alan says he can’t do that in fact he has paperwork for her to sign. He had the lawyers draw it up. Since she’s a lawyer she can read it. He tells her to just sign it. Beth is shocked that they are prenuptial agreement. They have never had this before. Alan says it wasn’t needed. Beth finds out that if she leaves Alan at any time or has an affair she will effectively give Alan custody of Payton. Beth can’t believe that Alan is asking her to do this. Alan says it’s just a precaution. Beth says that when she feels caged she acts out. She turns to another man. Alan says then look at as a way to save Beth from herself. Alan says sign it or it will be a very sad day for Coop. Beth signs the papers and tosses them back to Alan. She lashes out at him before she rushes out of the room in tears.

Buzz questions if Coop is done punching him. Buzz admits he deserved that. Coop tells his father to get out of the way. Buzz is not going to stop him. Jenna made Buzz realize that. Coop questions if Buzz is really going to bring up his mother. Coop loves Beth. Buzz knows that. Buzz is through talking his son out of it. Coop can get her then bring her to Company. Alan owns half of Company. Does Buzz not realize what Alan will do? Buzz says let Alan do whatever the heck he wants to Company. Buzz doesn’t care. He’s sick of quivering around the mighty Alan Spaulding. It’s Buzz’s place and home. Buzz says who cares. Coop is his son. That is what matters. Coop and Beth can take the children to California. There is great fishing out there. Buzz can teach Payton how to fish. Coop hugs his father. Coop is sorry he punched Buzz. Buzz tells Coop to go before it’s too late and Beth has said I do. Coop takes off in the car with Buzz watching. Coop stops the car and rushes back to Buzz. He hugs him one last time. Coop knows how hard that was for Buzz to do. It shows how much he loves Coop. Buzz was willing to make the tough decision that no one else can. Coop loves his father. Buzz tells Coop to go. Coop takes off with Buzz watching.

Cyrus and Lizzie are walking into the church when she sees Bill by the window. Cyrus tells Lizzie he can take care of this. Lizzie says that is fine. Bill says that Cyrus knows what he’s doing since it’s his job. Bill say he found flowers for the wedding. Lizzie says that Beth already has flowers. Bill says good since these ones are dead. Lizzie tries to help Bill but smells the alcohol. He’s been drinking? A little. Cyrus offers to get Bill out of the church. Only people with invitations can come. Bill says he has one. He’ll be sitting on the side of the bride. Which side will Lizzie be sitting on? Lizzie says that is really funny. She will be sitting on her mother’s side. Cyrus tries to get Bill to leave. Lizzie says give her a minute. Cyrus leaves. Lizzie says they are serving coffee before the wedding. Bill should drink a lot so he doesn’t make a fool of himself at the wedding. Lizzie says that she misses Roxie. Bill says that Roxie misses her. Lizzie says its for the best that Roxie is gone. Is Alan the best for Beth? Bill is going to go grab himself another drink. Lizzie will pass. Bill says that this could have been their wedding day. Lizzie says that is a load of hogwash. You need trust in order to have a wedding.

Beth is in her wedding dress. She imagines Coop walking up behind her. Coop thanks God that it’s not too late. He can’t let her do this. He as to go what if Alan comes in. Coop doesn’t care. Beth says that she and Alan will make it work. She has to for Coop’s sake. She has to protect him. Coop is not scared. They can go to California together with the children and have a life. Beth says please go to Coop. Coop says it wasn’t an accident that day when they met in the hallway. It wasn’t chance. It was meant to be just like them. She has to believe in them. Believe in them. Beth awakens and finds Alan behind her. Alan says that Beth has never looked more beautiful. He made her happy once. He can make her happy again. If he really wants to make her happy, let her go from this blackmail. Alan says he can’t do that because after the reception they are taking a flight to Venice. He knows how much she loves looking at the Grand Canal. Beth rushes out furious in tears.

Buzz says he has to do something as he walks into Company. Frank tells his father to just sit. Buzz says he has customers. Buzz needs to keep working till this is all over. Buzz will then close the sale with Beth. Frank says that Company is Buzz’s life’s work. It’s their home. What should Buzz do then? Frank has no clue. Is this all worth it? Buzz says he can’t let his son give up on love or life. He can’t do that. Frank says he’s going to give his brother back up. Buzz says no. It’s Coop’s life. They have to let him live it then deal with the fireworks afterwards.

Coop is in his car driving like a mad man when his phone rings. Coop answers the phone assuming it’s Beth. Coop says he’s on his way. Alan says sorry but Coop is too late. Beth is his now. In fact she’s just getting out of her wedding gown for their wedding night. She never looked so beautiful. Coop says that Alan is a liar. Alan says that Coop will never see Beth again. Coop is furious. Beth walks in and is aghast at the conversation. How could he do that to Coop? She did it all the time to him. Coop looses control of his car.

Bill tries to stop Lizzie from leaving. He wants her to open her eyes and see how much he loves her. Lizzie tells him to get some dignity. He lost her a long time ago. Bill says it kills him seeing her with Cyrus. Lizzie trusts Cyrus. Bill questions if Lizzie really can. Lizzie questions what he means. Bill says he has to go. Cyrus watches as Bill leaves. Bill sees a waiter with champagne. Does he want a glass? No he wants a glass full of ginger ale and keep them coming all night. Bill hands the guy some money.

Beth yells at Alan. She refuses to marry him now. He will continue to taunt Coop even after they are married. He won’t stop this stupid wedding because of his pride. Alan says she’s already a Spaulding. Beth says she was never a Spaulding. She’s Beth Raines. Alan says that she has married many men. She will always be a Spaulding inside. Beth doesn’t want to be part of this life if that is what it means. Alan says the wedding will happen after he was embarrassed walking into that restaurant. He will not be the butt of all the jokes when that book comes out. Beth is going to walk away. Alan says fine then she will find out how truly cruel he can be. Alan tells Beth to pull herself together. There will be a wedding soon. They are going to have a future together. Beth breaks down sobbing and falls to the ground.


Frank and Buzz toast to the bride and to love. Coop is sitting inside his car which is on fire. He wakes up for a second but passes out. A figure comes over the hill and rushes to the car. The figure is Phillip who attempts to save Coop.

Hope and Despair

Coop realizes that Beth doesn’t want to marry Alan. Beth tells Buzz to protect Coop. She did love Coop. Reva and Jeffrey go to a birthing class. Dinah and Shayne talk about Edmund. Dinah finds out a secret.

Previously - Beth and Coop ending it, Dinah warning Shayne about Edmund, Buzz telling Coop the truth that Beth does love him.


Dinah looks at Shayne in his room. She gets him. She thought he knew that. That day in Germany when they confided their secrets to each other. They were more than just strangers. They told each other the truth. What does that say? Both have been kicked in the teeth. Dinah trusts Shayne. She’s not sure when it happened. He trusts her as well. They are connected to each other. She does care about him. Shayne says then he has to make peace with what happened with Lara. What if this idea with Edmund is just a scam? It’s a test. Shayne realizes that. That is why he’s going to test Edmund as well and tell him how Lara died. Dinah tells Shayne he can’t do that. She can’t lose him. Shayne looks at Dinah.

Josh listens outside of Edmund’s door. Edmund says that Shayne seems sincere. He wants to believe that Shayne is a good man and not just another Lewis. Josh enters and says welcome. Edmund invites Josh in. Josh says this is unbelievable that Edmund is testing Shayne. Josh asks who Edmund’s partner is in crime. Edmund points to the picture of his daughter Lara.

Jeffrey and Reva arrive at their first birthing class. Reva says now that Dinah is watching out for Shayne she can concentrate on her breathing. Reva warns Jeffrey that the videos can be a bit graphic. Jeffery scoffs at the warning. He’s a government agent. He’s dodged bullets and walked through swamps. A little video is not going to scare him. Reva’s not so sure. Jeffrey says they are going to go into the class with all the younger parents and be apt pupils. The teacher asks if they are there for the class. Jeffrey touches Reva’s very large belly and says that they are having a baby. Reva and Jeffrey head inside. Jeffrey has a look of terror on his face.


Buzz tells Coop he can’t do it again. He can’t ram the gates of the Spaulding compound and rescue Beth. Coop says he’s not going to do that again. He’s going to sneak in behind Alan’s back and take Beth out. He just needs Buzz to cause a distraction so he can do it. Buzz says he can’t do that.

Beth is looking outside the window from her prison when Alan enters the living room. He has a beautiful emerald bracelet for her. He knows how much she likes emeralds. Beth tells him to keep it. Alan walks over to his bride. Beth recoils at his touch. Alan says that there was one point of time when she felt safe and protected in his arms. They were happy then. Beth knows she hurt him. She broke it off with Coop what more does he want. He wants their wedding to be as public as his humiliation at the book reading. He shows Beth the invitations. By this time tomorrow she will be his bride.

“ Only Love ….”

Dinah says she’s not going to let Shayne get destroyed by Edmund. Shayne doesn’t understand her loyalty to him. He’s so screwed up . That makes a great catch for anyone. He’s more of a challenge to her. He needs to stay away from Edmund. Shayne can’t promise Dinah that. He won’t tell Edmund the truth yet. What if it is a scam? What if he finds out too late during the project. Shayne can’t trust Edmund. He doesn’t. Shayne has to leave now. Is he going to take his cane with him? He’s walking fine without it. Dinah says that is too bad because it would make a perfect weapon. Shayne will need whatever ammo he has when facing Edmund. Edmund is a very dangerous man. Dinah tells Shayne to be careful. He will. Shayne thanks Dinah for taking care of him. Dinah lightly touches Shayne’s arm. Shayne leaves a very worried Dinah behind.

Josh knows Edmund’s secret now. He spends the day talking to his daughter’s picture. He also drinks to take off the edge. Why is he doing the project? Edmund says they have all been caught in the crossfire in the past. Josh says not everyone. Edmund was Lara’s dad. He just needs to make sure that Shayne loved Lara. Just look in Shayne’s eyes and you can see the pain and love. Edmund can see that. He sees the same thing in the mirror. Just let the work idea go. Shayne is finally coming back to his life and his family. Josh tells Edmund to let Shayne go. Edmund is not trying to take Josh’s son away from him. Edmund admits that he’s using the project as a test of Shayne’s love for Lara. Edmund has to know for sure. Edmund is lost. He knows that Josh expects to see some evil man in his place but Edmund is not that anymore. He’s just trying to connect to his daughter. Edmund drinks a glass of booze as Josh leaves.


Jeffrey says he feels ancient at the birthing class with all the other young parents. That could be because they are the only parents who remember the first Bush president. The teacher says they are going to go over the breathing exercises during labour. She wants all of them to sit on the mat. Reva says that is easy for the instructor. At least she can see her toes unlike Reva. Reva and Jeffrey groan as she sits down on the mat. They are breathing. The teacher asks if they need a break. Jeffrey says no and they also don’t need their walkers. The teacher has a treat for them. It’s a birthing video on the final moments of labour. Reva loves watching the miracle. Jeffrey gets a little green and passes out. Reva looks over and shakes her head.

Coop is arguing with Buzz outside of Company. What does Coop want Buzz to do? Read menus till he’s blue in the face. Anything to distract Alan so Coop can get to Beth. Beth made her choice. She chose Alan. Coop says that is not true. Beth was forced by Alan to choose him. They know that Alan is capable of that. She pushed him away. Maybe she wants that life. Coop says that is not true. Buzz says maybe the love affair was not real. It was very real. Coop knows that in his heart. He wants to stand beside Beth while she goes to law school. He can be the man for her. Buzz warns his son that there is a fine line between being brave and stupid. Love is always a risk. Buzz says there are usual risks but there is also Alan. Coop is not going to give up on his life with Beth.

Beth knows that she hurt Alan. He can’t want her this way as his captive. Alan says that he will take Beth anyway he can get her. They were happy once before they can be again. Does she remember their vows from before to love and respect each other? Alan did not break those vows. Alan says that obviously their daughter Payton would want her parents to be married and together. Payton would want her mother to be strong and happy with a good life. What good life is there other than being a Spaulding? She would have everything at her fingertips. Granted they are more in the spotlight and their dirty laundry is aired but it is part of the name. Alan says that the invitation will push any doubts away that Beth didn’t choose him.


Coop is getting into his car when he sees Beth running down the street. He stops her and sees her sobbing. Coop says he knows what happened with Alan. She can’t talk. She has to walk away. He knows that she pushed him away to keep him safe. He knows that Alan must have threatened him. They can’t give Alan that power. Alan only has the power that he takes from them. She says that he’s living in a dream world. She can’t give in to what she wants. Beth is in tears. Coop says that she has to believe. She has to hope in something. Beth and Coop hug as Buzz watches.

Shayne arrives at Lewis Construction and sees Josh. Josh is beyond happy seeing that his son is walking without his cane. Shayne asks if the job offer is still good. Josh says he can find room for his son. Shayne wants his father’s help on this project. Can Josh work with Shayne’s new partner Edmund? They have this idea for a pediatric care center in Lara’s memory. Josh says that Edmund mentioned something like that to him. Is Shayne certain that he wants to work with Edmund? Shayne says working together is better than all the fighting right. Edmund needs this and so does Shayne. It’s a good idea. It can be great. Josh agrees to help as he looks at Shayne’s design.

Reva and Jeffrey walk out of the birthing class. Jeffrey is still a bit woozy on his feet. He did not faint. He was just resting his eyes. Reva laughs about her strong super spy being taken out by a little baby. Jeffrey says that it was horrible to watch. He can steal hear the screams of pain. They actually want parents to see that. Reva says it’s fine. She feels normal for the first time in months. She’s not worrying about her cancer but instead about attending her first birthing class with her husband. It was a test for them. Jeffrey says that the young twerps in there seemed to enjoy it. Reva laughs and says they are probably puking as well. They will need a stiff drink. Reva says it’s all worth it because they will have their little boy in the end. Reva has a question though for Jeffrey. Will he be a runner when it all starts in the delivery room? Jeffrey says no. Reva says this is a good day. Well it was till she saw Edmund in the hospital. Edmund shows them the piece of paper for The Lara Winslow Paediatric Care Center. Shayne is helping him on it. Didn’t he tell Jeffrey and Reva? It’s in memory of Lara.

Dinah sneaks into Edmund’s room to find out what his secret is. She snoops around and finds the letter first. She reads it. She then sees the picture of Lara and finds a piece of folded paper. Dinah opens the paper and is stunned by the contents.

Coop hugs Beth close in his arms. She has to go. She can’t do this. Is she always going to let Alan have her on such a short leash? Where is Coop’s strong and independent Beth? Coop doesn’t recognize this woman in front of him right now. Where is she? Beth says this is just easier to do. How is it easier for any of them? Beth wants Coop to have that bright future at Stanford teaching his students and writing. That is the dream she has for him. That is his reality. Coop says that Beth is a coward. Beth says good that he found out that now instead of later. She has to go. Coop say Beth is dead wrong if she thinks he’s just going to step back and wish Beth well with her life with Alan. Beth leaves. Buzz continues to watch.


Reva looks at Edmund and asks how he sucked Shayne into helping him out. Edmund says it’s a good thing. They are both helping kids in Lara’s name. Maybe down the line it may even be there to help Reva’s baby down the line. They are set to break ground early next month. So he’s not leaving Springfield? Not anytime soon. He’s staying for a while. It’s what Lara would want them to do. Edmund wants it and so does Shayne. Edmund leaves. Reva says this is not good for any of them. Jeffrey says that maybe Edmund has a point. Reva questions if her husband has lost it. There is not an argument that can justify Edmund staying around. Is she going to at least hear him out? This is Edmund Winslow they are talking about. He nearly killed one of her other sons. She’s not going to let him have a shot at Shayne.

Shayne happily shows his father the plans for the Lara Fasano Paediatric Care Center. There will be a patio in the center for all the kids to play in. It will have start of the art equipment and research. Josh says that money is a little tight but he will look into financing. Is this because of Edmund? No this is because of economic times. Josh says let him crunch some numbers. Shayne really wants this to happen. Josh can see that. Shayne can finally do something for Lara and not feel helpless. This way Lara will not be forgotten. Josh gets that. Josh is going to make this happen. Josh suggests chatting with a family friend at the bank about the loan. Shayne hugs his dad. Josh wants to go over some ideas. He can buy Shayne some lunch. Shayne would love to but he really needs to head off and get stuff done.

Dinah is still in Edmund’s room. She grabs the paperwork and is about to leave just as Edmund shows up. He closes the door. Those papers are genuine. Forgery was never his strong suit. Lara was pregnant. Edmund says that it was the one secret that he had that Shayne didn’t know. Shayne was the father.

Edmund takes the paper from Dinah. Lara was pregnant when she met her father for the first time. She was expecting her own child so she wanted to know what her own family was about. Edmund will never forget meeting her for the first time. He was still in the hospital and saw this beautiful woman looking down at him. She looked so familiar. He knew those eyes. They were eyes from his past. She spoke and said her name was Lara Fasano. As in Rachel who worked at the palace when Edmund was 16. Lara was their daughter. She sat by Edmund’s bed and willed him back to life. As the flashback goes forward it becomes even more obvious that Lara is pregnant. She can do a DNA test if he wants but this baby would be his grandchild. Lara knows it’s a lot for Edmund to take in. Edmund feels like he was given a second chance. He does believe her. Lara hugs her father. Edmund says he can’t help but laugh at fate that he’s connected to the Lewis clan now because of Shayne and Lara’s child. Dinah asks what happened to the baby? It died with Lara. Shayne never knew about his child. Why did Lara not tell him? Edmund had to make sure that Shayne was worthy of the news. Edmund says the baby was one secret that he had that nobody else knew about. He owned that one. He wasn’t sure at first if Shayne deserved to know the truth but now he wants to tell him while they are working on the project. Dinah tells Edmund he can’t do that to Shayne.

Beth arrives at Company and sees Buzz. Buzz tells her that Coop is not there. Beth wants to give him an invitation. She’s marrying Alan again. Coop loves her and she loves him. Beth laughs and says it’s something about losing your self and finding your self with love. Buzz says love is all of that. She finally found love again. What does she need Buzz to do? Buzz has to stop Coop from going to the wedding. Coop should have a future. Beth wants that for him because she does love him so much.

Coop arrives at the Spaulding Estate and is greeted by a guard. He’s an old friend of Lizzie’s and wants to see her. The guard says that nobody without authorization can come in. Coop remarks there is a lot of cars coming and going. There is going to be a wedding her tomorrow. Coop says no way as he tries to force his way past. The guard stops him as Alan looks on from the window smirking.


Dinah looks at the paper. Lara was pregnant. Does Edmund want to push Shayne over the edge with this news. He’ll do exactly that. Edmund doesn’t want to do that. Does he have to have a sign printed to show that? Shayne enters and sees Dinah. He says hi to both of them. It went well at the bank. They got the loan. Did Shayne pass the test? Did Edmund pass the test? Does he believe that Edmund is now Lara’s father. Dinah asks what is happening. Shayne says they are just feeling out each other. Shayne looks at Dinah. He thought she was giving up that habit of saving people like from the roof. What is she doing here? She should really join Edmund and Shayne on this project. Edmund agrees. It’s a good cause. Dinah agrees to help the do gooders but questions if they will all regret it in the end.

Reva says it was nice to be normal for a bit. Edmund is not trying to pull something. The project may be a way to help Shayne. What if Edmund is playing a scam? Josh shows up. Josh was worried just like Reva but they are wrong. Edmund is lost as well. Josh saw the look of hope in Shayne’s eyes with the project. He was so excited. Reva says that this is Edmund Winslow who terrorized all of them. Jeffrey says if it’s more than they will nail Edmund. Reva can’t believe that Josh and Jeffrey are so calm. Edmund is not human. He’s a different species.


Beth arrives home. Alan shows up. He has a beautiful gown for her that she will wear at their wedding. Does it come in black? Alan says that she will wear it and say her vows at the church.
