She is disappointed with the way things have turned out. They agree on how much they have missed each other and cuddle.

Lindsay tries to have a "normal" family breakfast by cooking pancakes for her, Will and Jen. However, Jen exclaims how it is ridiculous to act as though nothing is wrong. Lindsay begs her children to bond together as a family, now more than ever. She demands that neither of them talk to anyone about what happened the night Colin was killed. After Lindsay leaves, Will and Jen know that all she really wants is for them not to tell Jess or Cris what happened that night. Both decide to leave. Will wants to find Jessica and Jen wants to see their father.

Meanwhile, Bo insists that Sam reveal whom he is covering for. He questions Sam why his fingerprints where the only ones on the fire poker, when as a common house tool, others would have touched it.

PROTECTORS

As Viki awakens from a bad dream, Ben comforts her and tells her it's all over. Viki isn't quite as sure; she was locked in a room yelling for Gina but Niki opens it to tell her she's not getting away. Viki believes that her dreams tell her something, like when she saw Ben at Gina's house before he disappeared. She's come to realize that her alters always protected her and she has been feeling panicked and vulnerable without her family around her recently. Ben reassures her that he didn't believe her when she (Jean) denied that she loved him but she wants to get back and start over at Crossroads so that everything can be in a good light.

In the Palace dining room, Lindsay is indignant that Cris and Nora dare to still accuse her of being Colin's killer but Nora says it's just too convenient and that Sam has to be covering for someone. Cris and Lindsay argue over his relationship with Jen, with Cris stating that he cares more about Jen than her own mother does. Lindsay thinks he's just taking advantage of her while Nora tries to defend Cris and states that Lindsay is just trying to change their topic of discussion. Nora announces that Sam has told her the whole truth but she can't divulge it due to attorney-client privilege, while Lindsay begs to differ, stating there is nothing to tell. Gabrielle appears, mistaking Lindsay for Nora which causes a stir and proceeds to introduce herself to the lawyer noting that she has a legal matter to discuss. Lindsay once more orders Cris to stay away from Jen and to save himself from humiliation. Seth teases Cris that he must have it bad for Jen if he puts up with her mom. Gabrielle wants to discuss the petition regarding Asa's adoption of Al and Max's attempt to have it reviewed. Nora advises that Max has withdrawn the petition and that he was a good father when Al lived with him, that Al requested that he live with his mom on his own when she was released from prison. The women come to an unspoken understanding on what they would do to protect their children. Nora hands the new Mrs. Buchanan a business card for she's married to Asa after all. Marianne the babysitter arrives with Matthew in tow who's had a tough day. He's been teased by the other kids because his daddy is in jail. Nora explains what a murderer is and that his father is innocent, that they will help to prove it. His daddy loves him and would do anything for him, she tells him.

Though Jen declares that she has to speak with someone preferably outside of the family, Sam makes it clear that he doesn't want her to speak to Cris or even see him anymore. The two argue, with Sam admitting that he only wants to protect her from doing something stupid and things would be worse if she spoke with someone. Jen indicates that she knows what she has to do but that she could still talk to Cris about other things since their relationship isn't all that deep. Sam wonders about that. Lindsay storms in, irate that Jen has disobeyed her and left the house, while her dad is doing something for the family. Jen retorts that she's not a baby and leaves. Sam thinks that Jen is all grown up now, while Lindsay hopes that's so-they're facing a big problem now. She also tells Sam that she wants Nora to stop investigating but he indicates that everything's under control. Lindsay apologizes for his doing what he has done.

Jess has found Colin's passport behind a picture on the wall but when she begins to question Will he tells her it doesn't matter now since his dad is in jail. Jess wants to call the police and demands that he talk to her. She throws questions at him and begins to toss things around the room, wondering what else she might find. He thinks that they should trust each other and says that he would be lost without her. Will avoids giving any direct answers and instead tells her he wants to protect her and take care of her like he did when Gina was a threat.When Jess calls all of that control and not love, he stalks out, grabbing the passport on his way. Later, Viki shows up to comfort a crying Jessica.

As Melanie leaves her hotel room with a suitcase Bo arrives to speak with her first. She is going away for a little while she tells him, though he believes it's for good. He wants to know if she was wearing gloves the night Colin died. When she says no, she also mentions that she knows that's not why he's really there. There's no reason for her to remain in Llanview, she was a coward and couldn't watch him face the truth, she says. He lives only for the truth so it would be difficult. He tells her not to go because everyone makes mistakes. He believes in forgiveness which is something they discussed when they first met, he reminds her. She finally agrees to stay and he holds out his hand with her ring.

Jen shows up at Cris' place and tells him she can't see him.

As Ben decorates Crossroads he speaks to a delivery person behind him. He's quite surprised when it turns out to be Gabrielle who imagines that Viki will be quite surprised also.

As Nora is telling Matthew that his Daddy would do anything for his son, Sam is sitting in his cell thinking, while at the dock Will begins to burn Colin's passport.

Thursday, June 7, 2001

Crossroads- Gabrielle introduces herself to Ben as his new stepmother, and he of course says Asa isn't his father. Gabrielle then pleads Asa's case, saying she just wants to bring father and son together. However, Ben is suspicious and asks her what she really wants. Viki then arrives and convinces Ben to throw Gabrielle out as Gabrielle tries one last plea to get them to come to her and Asa's reception. Ben and Viki decline, and Gabrielle leaves. When they are alone, Ben tells a confused Viki that they're going to the reception and explains he wants to find out what Asa and Gabrielle are up to.

Palace Restaurant-After Rae speaks to Renee and hears how badly Asa treated her, Rae goes over to Asa's table and confronts him. After some heated arguing, Renee comes over and tries to drag Rae away. Asa then invites them both to the reception. Rae declines, but says Renee will be there with her "new boyfriend." Renee goes along with this as Asa smirks, but when they are alone, Renee is upset with Rae for lying. Rae tells her not to worry, that she'll find someone. Lanie and Bo then walk in and tell them they've postponed the wedding. Rae talks to Bo about Sam, then leaves. Asa then walks up and goads Bo about postponing the wedding, and Gabrielle walks in. Lanie tells them she and Bo will come to the reception, and Bo warns Gabrielle to stay out of trouble since he's now the police commissioner. When they are alone, Asa asks Gabrielle how it went with Ben and she simply says she did her best.

Lanie's hotel room-Lanie won't accept the ring right away, but agrees with Bo's offer to move back in with him. They then agree to postpone the wedding.

Will and Jess's apartment-Viki questions Jess about what's wrong and all Jess will say is that Will's been lying to her and it's related to Sam. Will comes in and agrees with Viki when he overhears her saying he has no excuse for lying to Jess. Viki then leaves, telling Jess she can always come home. Will then asks why Jess didn't tell Viki anything, and Jess says it's because she doesn't know anything. Will gets angry and says she knows all she needs to. Jess then brings up the passport and Will tells her not to worry about it because it's gone.

Jail-After Sam refuses to sign change of plea papers, Nora brings Matthew in to see him. After Matthew is gone, Sam gets angry at Nora for "guilting" him with their son.

She reluctantly agrees, and he signs the papers.
