Nora was at the doctor's and he told her that her baby is doing fine, but she needs to cut down on work. Sam is at the hospital waiting to see his doctor for his hand.

Dorian tells Lindsay that she should tell Bo about the switching of the test report or, knowing Bo, he would find out for himself, so Dorian tells her to steal it from the hospital.

Just then, the doorbell rings and it's Kevin at the door.

Nora notices the separation papers sticking out of Bo's coat pocket as Lindsay gloats.

At Viki's...

Written by: Diane Hopkins

Music playing--The Sun

Kelly asks Mike to explain the details regarding the Sun.

Dorian's House

Dorian says to Blair, "ready or not here I come. I will pay Viki back for Mel's death. Earlier today I was writing my own personal timebomb. Viki is responsible for Mel's death and she will pay, that pompous, hypocrite." She looks at Blair and says, why are you still in your robe? Blair says Kelly stole the paper away from me with Asa and Max's help. Asa bought Max's 2%. Asa's using Kelly, Dorian says. Blair says that paper has gone to Kelly's head, Kelly's demoted me and she's gloating. She has been going crazy ever since she got her 49%. She will need me. Blair says The Sun will be in shambles as long as she stays away. Dorian says pull yourself together and let's pay Ms. Kelly a visit.

The Sun

Kelly was talking with Briggs saying, the Sun doesn't need Blair to function, who did this before? Todd wasn't interested so, I did it, Briggs replies. You look cool, didn't mean to interrupt, says Joey, entering Kelly's office. Kelly says with enthusiasm, Blair is a minority shareholder, I am running the show now. Do your job and I will do whatever I need to do. Mike says, great, the Banner had better watch out.

Kelly says to Joey, I like making decisions and Joey says, you are good at it. The Sun will be an exciting place to work now that I am in charge, but I need your help as a photographer, she says.

Joey says Viki won't like my working for the competition. Joey says I like the beautiful piece about Mel. Kelly says Blair wrote it and she's good at writing. Joey likes to see tributes to Mel, Kelly says she owes him, the Front page of the Banner was a class act. Kelly wants the Sun to succeed.

Viki

Viki bad dreams return, she sees Mel in her dreams, he calls out to her. Viki says to him those premonitions were about my death, I was supposed to be on that plane, why did you die? Why did I survive? Mel says I set everything in motion, there's more to live for now. What is it I need to do, Viki says. Mel says make your choices, each of us has to write a good story, he will be watching over her. Viki cries out, Mel, Mel wait.

The Banner

Kevin was looking for password for Mel's computer files, he wants to work on a story Mel started. Kevin told a weary Joey that Viki went home early, exhausted. Viki was at her desk early in the morning. Joey asks are you looking for the nursing home series for the nursing home expose'. Kevin says yes.

Will/Jessica

Will, thinking about adoption, I just want to make sure the baby's loved. Once it's adopted, I won't have any chances. Jessica says nobody's perfect, they will find the right parents. Will says he will be her coach, but she turns him down. Why not me, he asks. I turned down my mom, she's not the right choice. She says Cristian and I are getting back together slowly, and I want him to be my partner every Tuesday until due date for the parenting classes.

Banner--Kevin/Joey

Kevin is still looking for Mel's password. Viki says why are you at Mel's desk. Kevin tries to convince her to go home, but Viki insists decisions have to be made. Kevin tells her "everyone is pitching in--don't try to do it all." He tries to console Viki, who feels so guilty. She tells them Dorian came over and was growling revenge.

Sun

Dorian says hello to Kelly. Blair says to Kelly, no matter what you wear you won't change. We have a family matter to discuss, Dorian says to Joey. Kelly immediately pipes in and says, "I am in charge here." As Joey leaves, Kelly says to him "don't forget my offer." Dorian says, you haven't let him back into your life again, have you?? Blair shrieks, what offer? She's in cahoots with the entire Buchanan clan, Blair accuses. Kelly says to Blair--Briggs was asking for you, nothing we could not resolve, though. Dorian says, the Buchanans are using you and I was up all night writing Viki crimes and I want the Sun to publish this article.

Viki's house

Will, I am sorry, says Jessica. Will tells her that he is happy for her and that Cristian's going to be her partner. But why start by sharing the birth of our baby, Will says, are you sure he's ready for this? Jessica says yes and Will says it's intimate, it's your choice Jess. Just let me hang around for the next few months, he requests. The doorbeell rings and Cristian enters, he has some good news.

Banner

Joey says he just left the Sun--Dorian's threatening revenge. Kevin asks Viki, "Mel didn't give you any information did he in your dreams?." What did he say in the dream, Joey asks. Mel said in the dream she has a choice to make, an important one, Viki replies. They suggest she go on another cruise or to the spa. Don't worry about me, says Viki.

Mel's death hit her hard and Dorian's after her, that's all she needs, says Joey. Try 'Pulitzer' for the password says Joey, but it doesn't work. Zach says Mel told him, choose something you wanted more than anything in the world and could not get. It worked, "Martini."

Sun

Blair, Dorian and Kelly feuding: Dorian - Kelly this is a family. Kelly says it is not the Cramer newspaper, I decide what to do and this is not headline news. Kelly says Mel would not have wanted this. Blair goes along with Dorian. Kelly says to Blair, I am the flea now and I'm running the circus. You can go home, I am not printing that article. Dorian shouted, "I paid your tuition, car, clothes, you owe me." Kelly says adamantly, I will not do it. Dorian demands, you will print this article.

Viki's house

Cristian has good news, the art school has given him a showing in their gallery and he will be swamped for awhile on Tuesday, he has art shows. (Tuesdays are Jessica's parenting classes). What do you want to ask me, Cristian asks, Jessica says nothing.

The Sun

So you will print this, Dorian asks. Kelly says no. Dorian says she will disown Kelly, "you won't be a Cramer, you will be out of my life." Dorian leaves Blair--I told you could not run the Sun--you will be bankrupt in a month. The Public buys the Banner. Kelly--I am running a paper with integrity-- I will make it up to Dorian. Go and write the article, she commands Blair. Kelly asks, is that what you think, I will screw up and you come running? Asa is using you, Blair tries to tell Kelly, he will run the paper and you will be the puppet. You have no chance to run this paper; I am a pro and so you should let me run it, says Blair. Kelly says, a brand new Kelly has arrived and she is no pussycat. You're no tiger, laughs Blair, I am taking sick and personal days, and let's renegotiate, says Blair. Kelly says I have a proxy to make decisions, Blair keeps rattling on and Kelly burst out with, "You're fired, and good luck." Wait a minute you can't do that, says Blair, shocked.

Banner

Kevin and Joey are looking at Mel's notes. Kevin says something is important in those notes and very special and he will crack Mel's code.

Dorian's House

Dorian thinks to herself, I don't need Kelly or anybody, oh I want Viki to suffer and by the thing she loves most in the world.

Viki

Viki was driving in her car, but she suddenly stops and gets out. I know this place, she says, it's the crossroads in my dream.
