Bridget made plans to visit the plastic surgeon and
Nola overeard the call and tried to stop her.
Roger came in and listened in on a converstion
between Bridget and Nola in which Nola was trying to
convince Bridget not to have the plastic surgery done.
Nola pointed out that the guy for her would love her
for who she was and would make her feel beautiful. Bridget
was affected by what Nola said adn decided that she would
take some pictures that she had gotten developed of Peter
and show them to Hart.
Roger then came over to Bridget and asked if anything was
wrong and if he could help. Bridget showed him the pictures,
let him have one, and then left. Roger apologized to Nola for
interfering. Nola didn't buy his concern, but filled him
in on Bridget's plastic surgery plans. Roger volunteered
to talk to Bridget and then left.
Outside, Roger ran into Jean Luc and promised him that
Dinah would soon be alone and that she would be free to have
him spend some time with her. Roger asked him if he knew where
the farm was and hinted that he should be there that night.
Dinah returned to the farm, intent on finishing the picture
frame. Hart came in and apologized for being a jerk.
Hart asked her why she was being so silly and Dinah got upset
again.
Hart tried to convince her that he loved her the way that
she was and did not want her to change in any way. Hart then
went to get her a Christmas gift that he had bought her in order
to cheer her up.
Dinah changed into the gown that Hart had bought for her.
Hart was carrying Dinah upstairs when Bridget burst in to
show Hart the pictures of Peter. Bridget tried to leave,
but Hart stopped her and looked at the pictures. Hart commented
on a sweater that Peter was wearing in one of the pictures,
and Bridget replied that she had knitted it. This didn't sit
well with Dinah. After Bridget left, Dinah was determined
to make something for Peter out of the pine cones.
Outside, Bridget dropped a white piece of paper which Roger
picked up. Roger went into the house and showed the paper
to Hart which had the plastic surgeon's appointment on it.
Hart decided to go and stop Bridget.
Roger went outside where he saw Jean Luc and told him
that Dinah was alone.
Dinah came down to show Hart the reindeer that she made
for Peter and found Jean Luc instead.
The plastic surgeon showed Bridget what a little plastic
surgery could do for her.
Reva went to Cross Creek and thought about her mother
and her mother's wish that she reunite with Josh
Annie unpacked her things, and Josh came in to tell her
that he was going to tell the kids about Sarah.
Josh and Annie went to talk to Marah and Shayne.
The kids greeted them, and Marah asked why they came home
if Sarah was so sick. Josh and Annie explained that Sarah
had died and Marah and Shayne started crying. Josh explained
to them that she was in a better place now.
Josh commented to Annie on how great she was with the
kids. He then pointed out that it must be hard on them
first losing Vanessa and now Sarah. He also said that
he was glad that they were waiting to have children so
he could be there for Marah and Shayne. Annie tried to
talk to him, but Shayne came in and told Josh that he
had broken the faucet in Josh and Annie's bathroom.
Annie tried to stop Josh from fixing the faucet, but when
she went to get hot chocolate, he went upstairs anyway.
Josh sent Shayne for his toolchest and rummaged under the
sink. Annie's tampered with birth control fell out and Josh
figured out what was going on.
Michelle was setting the table, when Meta
came in and asked why she hadn't set a place for Zachary.
Michelle was upset that Zachary was still coming. Meta
commented that she was like Michelle when she was young and
that she had known men like Zachary. Meta said that if
Zachary didn't want to get to know the family, she didn't
feel comfortable with Michelle visiting him alone. Michelle
pouted that Meta was treating her like a child.
The door rang and it was Zacahry. Michelle ran upstairs
to get changed, but warned Meta not to talk to Zachary.
Meta asked Zachary some questions and Zachary mentioned that
he would be moving on after he finished the lighthouse. Meta
replied that he must be a wanderer like his grandfather. Zachary
said that was unlikely since he wasn't from around here. Meta
said that her Zachary had worked on the town bell tower, by
coincidence and had left town suddenly. Zachary tried to
change the subject, but Meta asked him if he was sure he
hadn't met Mary Bauer.
Zachary commented that he had first thought Michelle's
name was Mary, but didn't know the person Meta was talking
about. Meta was asking Zachary how long he and Michelle
had been dating when Michelle came down and got very upset
with Meta and left. Zachary went after her and as he was leaving
told Meta that Michelle was a smart girl, her choices were up
to her.
This struck a chord with Meta who reminisced about when
she was a young girl. Young Meta witnessed a conversation
between Zachary and Mary in which Zachary told her that "he"
has to marry her. Mary replied that "he" would never marry
her and that she would be so ashamed. Mary left and young
Meta came up to Zachary and asked him what was wrong with
Mary. Zachary told her that Mary was a smart girl, her choices
were up to her.
Meta came back to reality and muttered to her self that
it couldn't be.
Josh figured out that Annie had tampered with
her diaphragm. Annie came in and Josh confronted her with
the evidence and asked her to explain. Annie tried to blame
it on Shayne, but Josh told her he'd have to be stupid
not to know what happened and asked her to tell him herself.
Annie admitted that she cut up her diaphragm.
Josh asked her how she could have done this after they had
talked about waiting to have children, and then brought
up the fact that he didn't know if she was even going to
her AA meetings. Annie told him that it was different this
time because her slip was with pills and not alcohol. Josh
pointed out that she had slipped with alcohol also.
Annie told him that "he" was the one who decided that
they wouldn't have children, and that she wanted a baby
because she thought that it would bring them closer together.
Josh was mad that she went behind his back and told
her in no uncertain terms that he did not want another
child. Annie asked if that meant Josh didn't want their
baby, and Josh asked her if she was trying to tell him
that she was pregnant.
Annie replied that she didn't know and Josh answered that
he just hoped the rabbit lived and it was not the time for
them to have a child under any circumstamces. Annie
told him that a child was the best way to show their love.
Josh pointed out that this wasn't about love it was
about manipulation. Josh was so angry that she had tried
to trap him, that he left. Annie ran after him, but
Josh wouldn't listen to anything she had to say.
Josh got on a plane bound for Cross Creek.
Reva contacted the woman, Myrtle, with whom she
and her siblings had stayed while her mother was in
Chicago in the hopes of finding out some information
about her lost sibling.
Reva was going over clues that her mother had given her,
when Myrtle dropped by. Miss Myrtle asked to see Josh
and Reva had to explain that she and Josh were no longer
together. Reva then told her that her mother had died,
which made Myrtle upset. Reva asked Miss Myrtle about
the time that she and her siblings had spent with
her while her mother was in Chicago.
Myrtle told Reva that she didn't know why her mother
left and assumed that it had something to do with Hawk
being such a tomcat. Myrtle suggested that she contact
Sarah's lawyer who sent her checks to take care
of the kids while Sarah was in Chicago.
Myrtle told her the name of the lawyer and then left.
Reva tried to get a hold of the lawyer, but it was too
late in the day. Reva called Buzz and told
him that she still needed some more time, but that
she loved him.
The plastic surgeon scheduled an appointment for Bridget
for the end of the week. He discussed the details of the
surgery, including the recovery time. Bridget was a little
concerned, but decided to go for it anyway.
She was waiting to get collagen injected into her lips
when Hart burst in. Bridget asked Hart what he was
doing there, and Hart asked to talk to her. Hart told
her that she was beautiful and asked her why she would
want to cut herself up.
Hart wanted to know why she would want to get any work
done on her face when she was fine the way she was. He
pointed out that he didn't like skinny model types and
didn't know why she would want to look like one. Bridget
pointed out that he was a hypocrite because he always fell
in love with girls who looked like they should be on a
magazine cover.
Hart protested that he loved Dinah for who she
was not what she looked like. Bridget asked him if he
would still love Dinah if she was 300 pounds. Hart
just insisted that it was not about looks. Hart tried
to convince her not to change and that he loved her
just the way she was. Bridget was moved by this and left
with him.
Nola and Zach discussed Vanessa's
request and Alice came in. Nola was talking
to Alice when Quint and Matt came in and
Nola waved them over.
The four of them sat down to eat and Nola discussed Matt's
construction work and he and Alice discovered that they
both like Frank Loyd Wright, the architect. Nola pulled
Quint aside to let them have a chance to be alone.
Matt apologized to Alice for Nola setting them up.
Quint told Nola she was being too obvious.
Matt told Alice that Nola meant well and not to take
it personally but that he had just lost his wife.
Alice replied that she was a widow herself and remembered
when well-meaning friends tried to set her up before she
was ready. Matt got up and left.
Zachary pointed out to Nola that Matt was leaving and
Nola went over to him and told him that he couldn't leave
because they hadn't had dessert yet. Matt answered her
by saying Alice was a nice woman and that Nola should
try setting her up with someone else. He then left as
Bridget was coming in. Nola noticed that Bridget hadn't
gone through with the plastic surgery, and Bridget
informed her that Hart had stopped her.
Dinah asked Jean Luc to go, and Jean Luc
informed her that Hart had left to see Bridget. Dinah
asked him why he was there and he answered that he
wanted to apologize for dumping her. Dinah told him
that that didn't matter now because she had Hart.
Jean Luc then picked up the pine cone reindeer that
Dinah had made for Peter and asked what the
mostrosity was and told her she was fooling noone with
this pretext and that she belonged with him in Paris.
Dinah defended Hart and the farm to Jean Luc who responded
taht there would never be anyone like Dinah. Dinah
protested that she had matured since he knew her and
that she now knew the importance of family and love.
Jean Luc agreed that love was the most important
thing of all.
Dinah told him that Hart didn't want to change her and
that she wanted a partner in life and not someone who
would tell her how to act. She pointed out that he
had been interested in her only as a possible meal ticket,
and that he had dumped her when her tuition money ran out.
Jean Luc reminisced about the good days with Dinah.
Jean Luc pointed out that she would eventually tire of
the farm and that a girl like her could never make
a man like Hart happy for long. Hart came back and
asked what was going on.
Dinah replied that Jean Luc was just leaving and he
left with Dinah saying that she never wanted to see
him again. Hart told him to get lost. Hart told
Dinah that he had to handle something with Bridget
Outside, Jean Luc called Roger and told him that
they were making progress.
Josh opened the door at Cross Creek and Reva came
came down her nightgown and asked what he was doing there. Josh
told her he thought she was still in Italy with Buzz
to which Reva replied that she hadn't been home yet and she was
alone.
Reva put on a robe and asked about the kids. Josh replied
that he had told the kids about Sarah's death. Reva
assumed that he had brought Annie and the kids with
him and told that she would leave and get out of their way.
Josh told he that he was alone. Reva asked what happened and
the phone rang.
Josh answered the phone, and it was Annie. He asked her
what she wanted and told her that he didn't want her to
join him. He told her he needed time to think before he
came back and made his decision. She told him that he
needed to talk to someone and asked if there was
anyone there with him that he could talk to. He answered
by asking her if she really wanted him to tell people
what she was capable of. She protested that she had
only tried to get pregnant because she loved him. He
told her that he didn't want her to come and that he would
be back in a few days after he had decided what to do.
Reva overheard the conversation and asked Josh if he and
Annie had had a fight. Josh said that things between
he and Annie would never be the same.
Josh filled Reva in on Annie's little pregnancy scheme.
Josh told Reva that he had wanted to go to her in Italy,
but Reva told him that they did the right thing by doing
nothing. She said that he had to concentrate on Annie
and she had to concentrate on her mother's last request.
Reva then told him that they should go to bed now, before
they did anything they would regret. She would sleep
on the sofa and he on the upstairs bed. Josh went to
help her make up the sofa.
Josh turned out the lights and Reva went to bed. Josh
started up the stairs, but couldn't help stopping and
looking at Reva.
On the other end of the phone, Annie hung up, jumped out
of her chair and ran off. Annie ended up at the fertility
clinic where she asked Fran to find the results
of the pregnancy test out.
Fran came back with the test results and said that
they were negative.
Buzz and Marina were blowing up balloons
to celebrate Frank's promotion when Alan-Michael
and Lucy came by followed by Dahlia and
Marcus.
Everyone surprised Frank when he came in and congrajulated
him on his promotion. Alan-Michael asked Buzz where
Reva was and Buzz explained that he didn't know and that
Reva was taking care of business for her mother. Alan-Michael
then got a call on his cell-phone and told Lucy that Phillip
wanted to see him, and he left.
Frank showed Marina his new detective's badge.
In the kitchen, Eleni was crying. Dahlia came in and asked
what was wrong. Eleni replied that she didn't know why
she was crying she was just relieved that she didn't
have to worry about Frank getting injured anymore.
Frank came in and Eleni told him told him he couldn't give up hope.
Alan asked him why he gave a damn and Griffen replied that
someday their positions might be reversed and he might
need a pep talk someday. He then finished by saying that
anything was possible, even regaining his sons' love.
Alex brought Alan-Michale, Phillip, Amanda and Roger by
to see Alan. Alan-Michael told him that Phillip and Amanda
came to him with a good business proposition: Spaulding
enterprises would buy Advantage Systems. When Alan protested
that Alan-Michael didn't know anything about his company,
Alan-Michael replied that it didn't matter because he was hiring
Amanda and Roger as vice presidents of Spaulding and
they would take care of everything. Needless to say, this
did not make Alan happy.
Matt entered Company and went upstairs. Bridget
went over to wait on a table and Matt came downstairs
and asked her where Nola was. Matt wanted
to apoligize to her. He explained to Bridget that Nola
had set him up last night. Matt then explained that
he couldn't help feeling that Vanessa was still
alive.
Bridget asked him if he really believed that Vanessa was
still alive. He responded that in his head he knew
she was dead, but in his heart he couldn't help feeling
that she was still out there somewhere. Bridget said
that Vanessa with God know. Matt wanted to know why
Bridget was so spiritual all of the sudden, and she told
him that Hart had told her that she was wonderful
and beautiful. Matt was not happy.
Matt told her that he wanted what was best for Bridget,
but he was concerned about her getting involved with
Hart. Bridget said that things were different now and that
Hart had told her he loved her, which was a start.
Bridget asked Matt to be happy for her. Matt explained
that Hart and Dinah were going to get married and Bridget
replied that that hadn't happened yet.
Matt told Bridget that he wanted her to be happy, but
that it was trouble getting involved with someone who
was already involved. Bridget replied that she deserved
this and wasn't going to stop until she got it.
Bridget asked Matt to stop worrying and Matt left.
Zachary talked to Vanessa's doctor in Switzerland who
told him that she was getting worse. Zach then went in to
see Vanessa who wanted to know about Matt. She asked
if Nola had gotten the letter and if she was finding
someone for Matt. Zach informed her that Nola had tried
fixing Matt up. Vanessa wanted to know everything and
Zach told her about the date with Alice. Vanessa wanted
to know about Alice and whether Matt had liked her.
Vanessa sensed that Zach wasn't being completely honest
with her when he said that Matt would get on with his
life in time.
Zach explained that Matt had told the woman that he
wasn't ready yet. Vanessa felt that he had to find
someone, but Zach said that Matt would get better with
time. Vanessa seemed content with this explanation.
Dinah served Hart a snack in a sexy nightgown.
Hart thanked her but told her he wasn't really hungry
and wanted to get some sleep. Dinah asked what was
wrong and Hart told her that he was worried about
Bridget. Dinah had some unkind words about Bridget and
Hart told her that she shouldn't insult her.
Dinah wanted to know why he ran off earlier, but
Hart was reluctant to tell her. Dinah didn't like it
that Hart didn't want her to know. Hart swore her to
secrecy and told Dinah he had stopped Bridget from
getting plastic surgery.
Dinah asked Hart why he felt it was his responsibility
to to go after Bridget. Hart replied that she was his
friend. Dinah accused Bridget of manipulating Hart.
Dinah was sick of his rushing to Bridget's side.
Hart told Dinah that he feels repsonsible for Bridget
because she is the mother of his child. Dinah pointed
out that Bridget was trying to come between them.
Dinah told Hart that she was scared of him being with
other women. Hart reassured her that there was no one
on this earth who loved him her as much as him.
Hart and Dinah discussed going to Switzerland, but Dinah
was a little reluctant to go skiing. Dinah said she
couldn't wait to show him Switzerland. They started
kissing on the couch.
In Switzerland, Vanessa thought about how much Dinah would
love it there. Vanessa was comforted knowing that her
family was moving on without ever knowing what really
happened to her.
Alan blew up over Roger and Alan-Michael
yelled that he was president of Spaulding now not him
and that he didn't see a problem with it. Roger stepped
forward to say something to Alan. Alan lifted himself out
of his chair and started to throttle Roger. Phillip and
Alan-Michael pulled him off of Roger.
Phillip went to get Alan's doctor. Roger said that he was
only trying to encourage Alan to get well. Alan asked if
they had all smapped and didn't want to hear their
explanations. Phillip and the doctor came in and Alan
told Roger that he would stop him. Roger tried to get
Alan to get out of the chair again, but Alan refused
to try until Alex asked him. Alan tried to get
up again but was not very succesful. Alan was
furious at ordered them all out. Roger and Amanda
left.
Outside, Roger told a worried Amanda that he was prepared
for Alan's eventual recovery and that thanks to Alex
they had their foot in the door of Spaulding.
The doctor examined Alan and told Alex that just because
Alan had showed some progress didn't ensure that he
would ever regain the use of his legs. The doctor then
left. Alan-Michael explained that having Roger in the office
would be an opportunity to keep an eye on him. Alan
didn't care to discuss it anymore so Phillip and Alan-Michael
left. Alex asked Alan what was wrong with him for making
his children leave the first time they had all come and
visited him.
Alan-Michael and Phillip discussed Aunt Alex and her ruse
to make Alan better. Phillip admitted to Alan-Michael that
when his father stood up and went after Roger that he felt
a twinge. Alan-Michael agreed that he felt something also
when Alan grabbed Roger's throat.
Phillip and Alan-Michael laughed over their father's reaction
and voiced their concerns over Amanda. Alan-Michael and Phillip
discussed how they both felt sorry for Amanda. Phillip asked Alan-Michael
if he would help him plan an early Christmas for Lizzie.
They both got up to leave.
Alan told Alex that he was concerned about Roger. When
Alex reassured him that Alan-Michael and Phillip could
take care of Roger, Alan suspected Alex of setting him
up. Alex tried to convince him that his sons wouldn't
be a part of such a thing, and Alan ordered her to
leave. Alex then left.
Amanda and Roger entered Company and discussed her
gaining control of Spaulding. Roger said that she
should trust him, and Amanda asked what trusting him
would cost her. Roger brought up that Amanda needed
to help him break up Ross and Blake.
Roger and Amanda called it a night and told Amanda
not to worry about Spaulding. Amanda left.
Bridget thought back to Hart stopping her from getting
plastic surgery and telling her that he loved her the
way that she was. Roger came over to Bridget and
asked how she was. Bridget told him that Hart stopped
her and that she knew know that he cared about her. Roger
told her how pleased he was and that he wanted them
together. This was just the first step and
she needed to seize the moment.
In the true tradition of Friday the 13th, disaster struck.
