Skye sneaks into Max's bedroom to get some lovin', but instead finds Blair. Blair brags to Skye that she and Max are getting things back on track and if Skye had come in the room a few minutes earlier she would have seen that for herself. When Max walks in the door in a robe, Blair expects him to make Skye move out. Instead he pulls her into the hall, to speak with her privately. He tells Skye that he thinks Blair is definitely up to something and is waiting to figure it out. He also tells Skye that he still needs her and doesn't want her to move out of the Buchanan mansion. Behind the door, Blair whispers that she's almost got Max right where she wants him.
At the Cherryvale Clinic, Nora hears Sykes and Rae talking behind a curtain in her room. She knocks over a glass in order to get their attention, but they instead just call a doctor into the room and then leave. Dr. McIver tries to figure out Nora's identity. He sends bulletins out with a picture of her to all the police stations, and listens to the tape of Asa's confession. At the Llanview PD, the fax received with Nora's picture gets inadvertently pushed to the floor...
The whole town of Llanview gathers for Nora's memorial service, with the exception of Asa. Rachael stands up to say some words and then passes the microphone to Bo. As Bo speaks of the goodness and truth that Nora lived for, R.J. jumps up and screams to Bo that he is a hypocrite! All the while, Nora watches this televised event from her own hospital bed.
Lindsay comes to Asa with a proposition: free Will, and she will provide him with a grandson and a piece of "much bigger Rappaport game than Will..."
Nora continued to call out for help, but when Colin arrived, he misunderstood her pleas and turned off the television. Colin then sedated Nora before she could reveal her identity. Later, Viki arrived at Cherryvale for another round of chemotherapy and came close to entering Nora's room. Viki ran into Colin while at Cherryvale and learned that he was married to Melanie. Max delivered Antonio a message from Andy. When Antonio did not respond well, Max went ahead and presented him with divorce papers. Rae accompanied John home from the hospital and their time alone together was interrupted by Sophia. John and Rae both insisted to Sophia that they were merely friends, but Sophia had a hard time believing their protestations. Bo attempted to make peace with R.J., who angrily rejected his offer to call a truce.

| COURTESY | CHERYL PASTER-DI PILLA | |||||
At Cherryvale, Viki is just about to enter the wrong room(Nora's
room)when a nurse walks by and corrects her. As she begins typing in her
daily journal, Colin arives to talk to her about her chemotherapy
treatment. They also talk about the train accident and Viki states that a
close friend of hers was killed. Colin mentions the unidentified woman in
the other room and though Viki offers to sit with her and keep her
company, he declines her offer as the woman is heavily sedated. Later,
Viki begins treatment with her sons by her side. A cosmetologist stops by
to discuss getting a wig made for later and though Joey tries to get her
to leave, Viki wants to hear about it.
Will and Melanie are at the cabin, waiting for Jessica's return. Lanie
thinks Will should be in the hospital but he assures her he feels ok. He
admits his love for Jess and is surprised when Lanie doesn't seem to
still feel the same way about Colin, her husband.
Everyone arrives at the courthouse for testimony in a new hearing for
Will, regarding the tape that was made. Ben pulls Jess aside to inquire
about Viki, but she shrugs him off, telling him he has no right to ask
since he hasn't been around for her. Cris inquires if the people who
helped Will would get in trouble. Bo assures him that he noticed who
helped and no one went after them.
Jared helps to put Matthew to bed and after, he and Rachel get to know
each other a little better.
Nora dreams of her children but when she goes to see them, she's
invisible. As she wanders around her house, yelling that she's there, she
notices the symbols of mourning and realizes they're for her.
Bo testifies about the new evidence that Jess and Cris obtained, knows it
was Asa on the tape and is familiar enough with his tone of voice on the
tape. Just then, Asa walks in. Cris testifies that they knew that Asa
had something to do with the whole thing and Jess admits that she tricked
her grandfather into confessing by siding with him. After her testimony,
Asa tries to speak with Jess but she walks away. Hank wonders whether Asa
knew about the taping prior to it's being done. Asa insists on taking the
stand and tells the court that Jess confused him because of his heavy
medication from by-pass surgery, that he really didn't know what he was
saying. Will robbed the foundation. Bo says that he's ashamed to be his
son. After, Asa apologizes to Jess for "telling the truth" and he
forgives her. Jess tells him she hates him and disowns him. Judge
Fitzwater gives her decision:the taping of the conversation is a felony
since it was done without knowledge and at this time, she is!
upholding the conviction until it is known for certain that the tape is
gone.
Roseanne and R.J. converse about the problem with Bo though R.J. says he has
an "inside track" on the situation. Antonio comes by and hands Rosie his
divorce papers. It's all her fault, he tells her. She told Andy the
truth, Rosie insists to Antonio, but she must have wanted the divorce
before that. This angers Antonio, who speaks about how much Andy means to
him. He tells Rosie to forget Cris because losing love is like dying. She
accuses all of the men of blaming their problems on everyone else, but
she's doing the same, he tell her, because she blames Jess for hers.
Bo tells Sam it's not over. He spies Melanie in the crowd outside of the
courtroom and though he runs after her, he doesn't get to her. Cris goes
to Will and tells him about the hearing. Jess takes off after court and
heads for the hospital. Ben follows her and spies Viki, lying in bed,
getting her chemo treatment.

Asa's Mansion
In Asa's office, Blair prepares a martini for Max because he's "been
working so hard" and she admits that she is working extra hard to
prove herself to him. As Blair tells Max she has made a dinner
reservation for the two of them, Skye comes in and announces that the
cook has prepared dinner for she and Max. Blair and Skye ask Max which
dinner invitation he will accept. He decides that a better idea might be
"a good book" but is saved when Asa shouts for him from the
living room.
In the living room, Asa tells Renee he is going to disinherit Bo and
Clint and all his grandchildren because "in a court of law...Jessie
called me a liar...Bo called me a liar..." When Renee stands up to him,
Asa threatens to cut her out of his will, too. "Give me one good
reason why I shouldn't give it all to the only real son I have
left." Renee warns Asa that given time, Max will disappoint him
also. Asa disagrees, offering that Max is the only son he can count on.
Renee warns Max that if he can't "convince" Asa that
disinheriting his family is a bad idea, she will. Max advises Asa that
his family will "come around" given time, but Asa insists that
he doesn't have time because "Ben Davidson is gonna kill you if you
don't kill him first." Renee is outraged by this statement but Asa
insists that he knows it is true because he keeps dreaming about it -
over and over. When Asa storms out of the room, Renee tells Max she is
going to change her will "the first thing tomorrow morning" and
orders him out of her sight. Renee takes her baby's bracelet out of her
pocket and asks, "Where are you? Who are you?"
Back in the office, Blair and Skye insult each other about their
respective "love" lives with Max. Blair tells Skye that sex
doesn't equate with Max's love, but Skye informs Blair that Max is
"wise to your so-called reconciliation" and doesn't trust her.
Skye promises Blair that her "mission in life" is to find out
what Blair is up to. Blair promises that Skye will be wasting her time,
but Skye offers her new allies, Asa and the affidavit that Blair signed
taking all the blame for Max's scheme if Asa should find out the truth
that Max is not his son. Blair is shocked by Skye's possession of the
document and doesn't want to believe that Max gave it to her.
Courthouse
In the courtroom, listening to Bo talk about his "mystery woman of
destiny," Hank wonders if she can be real. Bo is sure she was real
but doesn't know her name or anything else about her which is bothering
him. "She made me see things differently...like we already knew each
other, without even talking...when I had a hard time coming to grips about
Nora's death...she showed up again and she said just the right things to me
again...chances are I'll never see her again anyway..." Hank warns Bo
that if there is a next time he should "push destiny along" by
getting her name and number but, in the meantime, he offers Bo
"something to help you get your life on track" - his badge -
which Bo gratefully accepts.
Later, Ben confronts Bo outside the courtroom. "I have to know how
you can tell someone you love...and respect...that Asa Buchanan is your
father?" Bo apologizes for Asa's lies earlier in the courtroom and
promises that he won't let Asa hurt Jessica and Will any further but Ben
interrupts him. "This is about being Asa's son...how do you live with
it? How do you expect people to respect you and...love you when they know
who you came from? Who you really are?...I want to know what it's like to
be Asa's son...How do you rise above what he is?" Bo's simple
explanation is that "he's not the man he used to be anymore"
either because of the heart attack or Max's influence, he's not sure
which. However, because Asa is anything but simple, Bo tries to explain
that even though he always made up his own rules, "at least he had
reasons and if you understood his reasons, you could forgive him."
But Asa's most recent behavior can't be explained or underst!
ood by Bo and because of this he offers that "it's worse for me
because I'm his son...you're not...it made me who I am today...hopefully it's
not all that bad..." When Bo wonders if Ben is having the "same
problems" with his own father, Ben explains he is "having a
hard time reconciling who I am right now" but doesn't divulge any
further information. Bo theorizes that "it's not all about genes or
family history...you're your own man...you're the good son of a bad man,
too."
Sam and Nora's House
Sam hugs Melanie and says he understands why she "had to stay
away." When Melanie offers her condolences for Sam's loss, his
memories of Nora come flooding back. "I wish you'd known Nora,
you'd have liked her...she was smart, sensitive, beautiful...I don't really
feel like she's gone...maybe I'm just kidding myself, trying to keep her
here with me a little longer." Melanie tells Sam that she heard
about Nora from Will; she informs a surprised Sam that she has been
treating Will for his injuries and although it was "touch and go...it
looks like he'll be fine...he's very strong and brave...I'd never lie to
you...he has no idea what his next move will be...I'm afraid for him."
When Melanie asks Sam to convince Will to turn himself in, Sam stops her
before she can divulge where Will is hiding. "He's better off on
the run...after the hearing today I'm convinced he's not gonna get a fair
shake...all my life I always believed in right versus wrong that right wou!
ld win...but today one man lied and that lie won." When Melanie
wonders how Lindsay will take what happened in court, Lindsay appears in
the doorway and hisses, "Why don't you get your hands off Sam and
ask me yourself...Is this payback time?..How is Colin?..Living happily ever
after?..Trouble in paradise...you never did understand the man..." A
little bit of their history is shared when Melanie informs Lindsay that
Colin was the one who ruined their marriage, but finally Sam interrupts
the chilly reunion to tell Lindsay that Melanie had been treating Will.
Instead of being grateful for the news about Will, Lindsay wanted to know
why Melanie had come to Sam with the news and not to her - her own
sister. She also demanded to know where Will was but Sam nixed that idea
for Will's safety; instead he promised to "handle it" but
Lindsay berated him for how he had "handled it" with Asa in the
courtroom, "You let Asa walk all over you today...my son'!
s a fugitive because you don't know how to handle Asa Buchanan."
When Sam protested that he "handled Asa the only way I know how, by
the rules" Lindsay accused him of only fighting dirty with her and
again demanded that Melanie tell her where Will was. When Melanie
"took Sam's side" and refused to tell, Lindsay was livid and
stormed out of the house.
Cherryvale
In Nora's room, Colin mutters about Nora having to be 'Jane Doe' instead
of his preferred 'Scarlett' but he doesn't understand when Nora keeps
repeating 'Nora Buchanan...Nora Buchanan' and instead gives her more pain
medication. "When you wake up maybe you can tell me who you
are." Nora quickly falls asleep but later, when the power goes out
in her room, she awakens and tries to call for help.
In Viki's room, Jessica holds Viki's hand while Joey tries to calm his
mother with relaxation techniques and a special CD he had made for her.
Outside the door to her room, Ben peeks at Viki's chart but doesn't go
in. Instead, he vows, "Blondie, hang in there. Whatever it takes,
whatever I have to do, I'll be there for you." Before he is
spotted, Ben leaves to seek answers from Bo. An agitated Kevin demands
that Colin "do something" to make his mother more comfortable
during the chemotherapy treatments. Colin explains that everyone reacts
differently and he will adjust the dosage and the mixture of drugs for
the next treatment so hopefully Viki will feel better. A nurse
interrupts to inform Colin about a "problem in Room 1183" when
the power goes out and Colin responds with, "Scarlett's room?"
The nurse answers, "the Jane Doe." Colin excuses himself and
after he leaves Kevin and Joe wonder if he's "for real."!
Kevin observes that "this guy's got flaws...he's too good...nobody's
perfect." Viki pronounces him a "perfect doctor" and
Jessica considers him "charming." Viki is amused when her
children start to tease each other about Colin. Her discomfort eases and
she falls asleep. Kevin, Jessica and Joey leave their mother's room and
don't see Nora being wheeled into Viki's room.

Lindsay's Gallery Apartment
Lindsay wakes up to see Asa in her bedroom. She yells at him to get out.
Asa figured Sam's baby is Bo's since she admitted to not being pregnant.
(Looks like her schemes failed her again.)
The Lodge Inn
Bo asked the manager if he remembered the woman who was in the adjoining
room. He flashed him his badge to get some info.
Nora's House
Melanie thanked Sam and he thanked her for saving his son, Will. Melanie
asked if he was sure that he didn't want to know where Will is, he said
yes, because if he did then he would be obligated. Ben came in and met
Melanie, unaware Lindsay had a sister. Melanie went upstairs to get
dressed, Ben told Sam he will fix what's wrong between him and Viki.
Cherryvale Clinic
Viki awakes to see Nora is sharing her room. Her vision is hazy, but she
calls out to Nora.
The Gallery Apartment
Asa asked Lindsay for proof of Matthew's paternity. In return, she
asked for proof he'll keep his word about freeing Will. He calls out to
Max, and in walks in the Governor. "He'll guarantee Will's safety," Asa
said. Max has the biggest smirk (...don't trust them!!)
Nora's House
Ben told Sam nothing would change the fact that they're brothers. Sam
asked what's wrong, but Ben just hugs him and leaves.
Melanie's dressed and sees Sam at a standstill and asks what's wrong.
"I don't know," Sam said as he stared at the front door.
Cherryvale Clinic
Colin is asking around for his ‘Scarlet' and two nurses tease him
about it. He flirts with them and then they mention his wife is going to
send his bags packing one day. "She's as loyal as a fox, she'll never
leave me, even if I stray occasionally," said Collin. (What a sleaze!)
The Lodge Inn
The manager asked Bo for money in exchange for info. Bo paid for her
name and her place of employment. He found out she is a surgeon.
Cherryvale Clinic
Viki, still out of it, called out to Nora, who's unconscious. She
exclaims, she's alive and asks what is she doing here.
Nora's House
Sam again thanked Melanie for caring for Will. They talk some more and
she mentions how great of a mother Lindsay is.
The Gallery Apartment
The Governor hands her a document reinstating the deal Will had made with
the DA. She asked the Governor if the document was genuine and he looked
at Asa, then said yes. Lindsay said no deal, for Will to serve no jail
time. Max said he confessed so he has to serve something. Lindsay
told him to shut up, then Asa gave in. She asked the Governor and again
he said okay after checking with Asa, of course. Lindsay jumped up and
hugged the Governor and explained to him that Will was only running
because he was scared. The Governor said it was okay and Max walked him
out. Lindsay told Asa she knows he must be agony, even though he's not
showing it, for letting Will go. He said she drives a hard bargain and
said he wants his grandson with his family. (Asa's not good on his word,
don't trust him nor his monkeys! -Max and the Governor)
Cherryvale Clinic
Viki is up and sees Kevin, Joey, and Jessica all in her face and no
Nora. She asked where did she go? She had a bed right beside her. They
convinced her it was the drugs playing tricks on her mind. She gave in
and agreed.
In another room....Colin was checking Nora's vitals and mentioned she
shouldn't have been put in a room with a chemo patient. Again he was
over-complimenting her and she tried to speak, but he told her to rest and
it will take a while before she will have her voice back. Colin leaves her and walks into Bo. Nora recognizes his voice and whispers his name.
The Gallery Apartment
Lindsay told Asa he will not do a thing. She said Bo will get his son
and he will get his. She explained how he wouldn't believe him if he
tried and so Asa agreed that the deal will go down her way, but told her
to call Bo now.
Cherryvale Clinic
Collin escorts Bo into the lobby. Bo asks where he can find Melanie and
he asks him why. Bo said it was personal.
Nora grabs the phone from the end-table and dials a number.
Colin tells Bo he knows Melanie pretty well and said he never met him
before and then asked what's Bo's relationship to her.
The Gallery Apartment
In her robe, Lindsay stares at the phone from her bed.
The Cherryvale Clinic
Bo's phone rang and Colin asks what his name was again. Bo said he
didn't mention it. He answers it...it's Lindsay begging him to come see
her. He's worried so he leaves after Colin attempts to see what he
wants with Melanie. (Out comes Dr. Colln's green-head as he gets a
taste of his own medicine.)
Nora's call didn't go through she got a busy signal. (It's not like she
could have said anything anyways!)
Llanfair
Vik gets walked in by her kids into the living room where Ben awaits her.
(How did he get in? Does Viki have a maid we don't know about?) Ben
tells her he needs to speak with her so her kids take a hint and leave
them alone. Ben apologizes for not being there when she needed him.
Asa's Mansion
Asa hands some liquor to Max to celebrate another attack on the
Rappadavisons. "Poor Sami, he'll never know what hit him." (I hate u
Max!)
Nora's House
Sam asks Mel why she won't leave Colin. She said she still loves him
and he knows the right thing to say for her to come back. "If you want a
divorce, I can make it happen," said Sam.
The Gallery Apartment
Lindsay waits for Bo and got dressed already. She imagines Nora being
there and Nora tells her Bo's not Matthew's father because she doesn't
know that for sure. She said she does and she's telling the truth for
once so she should appreciate that. Nora replies that she really wants
her baby. (Oh! She got you there!)
Llanfair
Ben tells her if he tells her his secre,t they can't go back. She says
okay and Ben confesses that Max is an impostor, that he is Asa's real son. Viki's
mouth dropped. (So Viki's in love with another Buchanan, no biggie'.
Lindsay and her have something to share. )
Asa's Mansion
Asa tells Max that Will will still get his because he lied to Lindsay.
Max asked why wasn't he in on it, Asa said same reason he didn't tell him
about his fake brain damage. Asa further explained that the Governor
owes him more favors than he cares to remember and he'll do whatever he
says. Then tells Max that he told the Governor that Lindsay was
unbalanced and for him to go along with whatever he said to get her off
his back. Max laughed at their triumph. (I can't wait till Asa gets his
and then kill Max for his perjury!)
The Gallery Apartment
‘Nora' asks about Sam, and how Lindsay could do this to him if she really
cares for him. (Nora, what about Bo when you told him about Lindsay's
sperm change-a-roo? Or Sam when you were on your truth quest?) Lindsay
said he'll get over it. 'Nora' tried to guilt trip her and she said she
killed her baby and now they're even. Bo's at the door and asked
Lindsay what is it now, more truth Bo. (I don't think he has anymore
forgiveness in him Lindsay.)
Nora's House
Melanie meets Matthew and holds him while Sam tries to convince her to
divorce ‘Colin the sleaze.'
Cherryvale Clinic
Nora tries to call again and gets through. Sam says hello on the other
end and she tries to speak, but is able to do nothing but whisper, so she scratches the
phone.
