Day 4 of recaps week continued with the clips of a lifeguard and his life changes...were they for the better, or for the worst? MICHAEL'S STORY:

It all began at the beach, the surf, the sand, and Casey, Michael's best friend...Life was good, could it get any better? Of course...that's when Vanessa enters the picture...

THE HERO:
Michael a hero? But of course, after all, do you remember when he saved Vanessa's life? She was walking across the street, and a car was about to hit her, our HERO Michael saved her...Then there was the time when Michael went to Vanessa's apartment and someone was in her apartment, although Vanessa actually Karate-Kicked him out of the apartment, Michael distracted the guy, then he was there to console Vanessa. Michael, the good guy that he was, let Vanessa stay with himfor a while until she was safe. But it seemed like Vanessa was always in trouble...remember when she was at the pier and that guy wanted information from her but she refused? Those were CLASSIC scenes...see, Michael is our hero...But things do change when secrets are revealed...

THE TRUTH REVEALED:
Everything was fine, until Vanessa started looking in to Michael's past, what skeleton's were in Michael's closet? "Scoop" Vanessa had to find out...Vanessa followed Michael as he went to a girl's house, boy was Vanessa mad! More like jealous, but what's the difference? Anyway, an upset Vanessa refuses to talk to Michael until he explains what's going on,a relunctant Michael agrees, hoping he won't lose her now. Michael confesses that he has been helping out Virginia and Jimmy for a while. He also confesses that he's NO HERO...he's a murderer? Was that a shock or what? Our Michael a killer? That surely was a scene to remember...

THE REPRUCUSSIONS:
The next clips were shown of when Jimmy found out by accident that Michael killed his father...things took a turn for the worse...that boy's hatred for Michael was unbelievable! Jimmy kept accusing Michael of trying to get with Virginia, as well as throwing the fact that Michael was a killer in his face at all times. Now Vanessa and Michael were so close to being as happy as can be. Virginia had moved into Michael's after getting robbed, but Vanessa was okay with that, for the most part anyway...And it didn't bother her that Michael had commited a crime, he had surely done all good deeds to make up for it. But then Vanessa was sent to Hong Kong just when things were getting good. Now Jimmy was really convinced that Michael wanted his mom and he was determined to make Michael's life impossible. Then just as Virginia was going to move out...WHAM! She falls and breaks her leg, now she's stuck at Michael's for a bit longer. When Vanessa returned, she wasn't too happy about that, but there was nothing she could do.

WHAT'S NEXT:

Now, Michael is made aware that Alex (Casey's mom) has cancer, she doesn't have much time to live. He loves her so much! Casey went off with Alex to treat her cancer while Michael stays in Sunset Beach...Michael's left to deal with Vanessa: his wonderful girlfriend who's a bit too noisy and a bit too suspicious for her own good...But is there any truth to what she's saying? Then there's Virginia: Extremely needy at the moment, but she has a plan of her own, to break-up Michale and Vanessa and have him all to her self.

What's a life-guard to do? If he makes the wrong choice, he could lose someone he cares for...seems as though his life-guard training could really come in handy right now....

Spend her "daddy's" money of course! Del found out that Annie quit Law School and was spending way too much money, and partying too much as well, what does Del do? Cut Annie off. Annie was so ticked off at her father that she wished him dead, when her wish came true and Del was murdered, all fingers pointed towards her, even more now since Del left EVERYTHING to Olivia Richard's Del's mistress.

MISUNDERSTOOD:
Clips of Annie's arrest aired, including her first meeting with Meg, when she went to see Ben who was visiting Annie. Annie didn't fell a threat then, but little did she know, Meg would be her gretest competition...Annie, in order to get out of jail, she faked her suicide, after all, she was innocent, she just needed to prove it, anyway she ended up in a casket with her "Uncle Al", she almost burned up in the creamatorium, but luckily a worker let her out...but everyone still though she was dead...

TRUE FEELINGS REVEALED:
Annie, who watched her funeral from Ben's office in the DEEP was heart-broken when she heard Ben's speech, she just knew that he loved her, she had to tell him the truth... But was it too late? Meg Cummings was always around when Annie wanted to reveal herself, she finally found Ben alone and surprised him with the fact that she was alive. Ben was happy, well, angry at first, but happy nonetheless. He decided to keep her hidden to help prove her innocence, that would have been fine until "Little Miss Mary Sunshine" seen alive and well. What was she doing waltzing into Ben's house anyway? She was they were getting too close...Annie especially realized that when she seen Meg and Ben kissing...talk about a kick in the gut!

PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS:
Annie couldn't lose Ben, she drugged his drink and then made Meg think she and Ben were sleeping together. Finally Ricardo arrested the real murdeerer of Del Douglas, but Annie hadn't known that, she climbed to the top of a tower, where Ben saved her. Meg showed up making sure Ben was okay, couldn't Meg get a clue and leave them alone for a minute? Guess not, this meant war...Annie and tim teamed up, bringing Meg's mom Joan to Sunset Beach...do you remember that? That look on Joan's face when Annie waltzes in planting a HUGE kiss on Ben...that was PRICELESS! Anyway, even trying to put bad thoughts of Ben into Joan's head didn't work, Ben sweet talked her into liking him. Then Annie and Tim set up Maria's old studio to scare Meg away, and Meg sure did fall for it...Annie was a genius, this had to do it, this had to break them up for good, especially when because of Meg, Ben set Maria's bed on fire...But that "farm girl" still didn't stay away, Annie finally got the bright idea to "revise" Maria's journal that Meg had "borrowed", Annie added her own entries that lead Meg to...

THE CAVES:
Annie didn't mean for anyone to get hurt...but Meg went to the caves, Annie and Tim rolled a rock in front of the entrance just like what had happened to Maria (courtesy of Annie's revisions) Once Annie found out the caves were going to be exploded, Ben went to go save Meg, but it may be too late...as far as Annie knows her precious Ben, the love of her life is dead in the caves after the bombs were detinated. What is she to do now?

What does the future hold for Annie? Will Ben survive the horrible accident? If so, will Meg stay away so Annie can have Ben to herself? But how can that happen, if he's in love with a ghost...
