candle lights and soft music. Cole told Caitlin that he wants it to be like
the first time, she finishes his sentence telling him that romantic passionate
night when we conceived Trey. As the two of them are kissing and dancing in
each others arms, a man dressed in a black tuxedo with a Zorro mask on arrives
and pushes Cole out of the way. They start fighting and Cole knocks him down
and takes off his mask, it is Gregory. Gregory told him, you may have slept
with my wife Cole but you are not going to have my daughter too. Upon hearing
this, Caitlin looks upset. Cole awakens in a cold sweat from a nightmare about
Caitlin uncovering his dark secret. Caitlin asks him what is wrong. Cole tells
her he had a bad dream about someone trying to take her away from him. She
asks him who would want to do that, as Cole says nothing. Caitlin told him
she thinks what happened the other night may have brought it on and adds that
maybe she should cancel her plans with Sean today. Cole told her no he didn't
want her to cancel her plans and he had to go to work today, besides it was
only a bad dream and nothing more. Meanwhile the man who has been following
Cole is outside of their apartment on the phone telling someone not to worry,
as he looks at a picture of Cole. He then adds that he has everything under
control.
At The Liberty Corporation
Gregory is on the phone and told someone to keep an eye on Olivia. Annie
enters and Gregory told her to make it quick because he wasn't in the mood.
Annie told him he better get in the mood or he may lose Ten Million Dollars.
Gregory asked her what is she talking about and how is he going to lose 10
Million. Annie told him that some bird freak said he spotted an endangered
species of owls right where the corporation is building the resort. She then
told him that the environmentalist can put a halt on the construction until
the siting is verified and if it is it can stop the corporation from building
the resort and he will lose Millions. Gregory asked how they could save it.
Annie told him she hired an expert and he found nothing to contradict the
environmentalist's claim and it's all in the reports. Annie said she thought
he would appreciate it and told him he may want to go over it right now.
Gregory told her he would look it over in the morning and said he was sorry
for his attitude he just doesn't appreciate his wife, going off on a cruise as
if she didn't have a care in the world. Annie told him that is just like
Olivia and added that she would never bail on him, she is in it for the long
haul. Getting suspicious, Gregory asked Annie what was she up to. Annie told
him she wasn't up to anything she just wanted to be a friend when he needed
one. As Annie and Gregory are about to kiss, his office assistant knocks and
comes in and told him the jewelry store is on the phone. Annoyed, Annie tells
the assistant that she told her to hold all of Gregory's calls. Gregory tells
Annie who gave you the right to give orders to my office assistant. Annie
stands there with one of her blank Annie stares and says nothing. He answers
the phone and said it is ready now, engraved the way I want? Annie said you
shouldn't have. Gregory told her it wasn't for her. He then buzzes his pretty
new office assistant and told her the surprise is ready. Annie thinks to
herself that he got the gift for his assistant and wonders what the hell is up
with that? When Gregory finishes his conversation with the assistant, Annie
tries to pick-up where they left off before the assistant interrupted, but
before she can; The assistant re-enters the office to remind Gregory she was
leaving for her dentist appointment now. Again, Annie tries to seduce Gregory
and sits on his desk in front of him and says alone at last. Gregory however
tells her, another time. There is someplace he has to be. Ticked off, Annie
frets that Gregory may have already fallen for another woman after watching
his friendly interchange with his pretty new office assistant. She then tells
herself that it will be a cold day in hell before she would let that cheap
lackey come between her and her daddy's money.
At Sunset Beach University Hospital
Vanessa is in Tyus's office and asks if the results are done, because she was
getting worse and wouldn't be able to hide it from Michael much longer,
because if he sees her arms he will see how ugly she will end up. Tyus tells
her not yet, but encourages Vanessa to be patient and wait for her test
results before assuming the worst. Tyus then told her he doesn't think she is
ugly, in fact he thought she was very beautiful. He apologizes and says it
wasn't very professional of him. Vanessa told him that's okay, it was still
nice to hear and wishes Michael would say the same thing. Tyus told her the
only way to find out would be to tell him. Vanessa told Tyus how her mother
warned her to never to fall in love because if she ever got the disease it
will only hurt the people you love in the end. She then explains how she can't
let Michael take care of her if it turns out that she has the disease. She
wouldn't want him waiting on her hand and foot, plus he has always wanted
children and it would tear him up if he couldn't have any. "Mom was right,"
she cries, "I should have never fallen in love." Tyus says forgive me Vanessa,
but your mother was wrong about everything. Tyus then told her that he knows
she is terrified but shutting off your loved ones is not the answer, adding
that Michael will be more hurt if you shut him off. He then told her to trust
in Michael's love for her and tell him, because he's sure her mother would
tell her the same. He finishes by telling Vanessa that nobody knows what her
mother was feeling when it all came down. Vanessa agrees and told him maybe
it's time she found out and leaves........At Home, Vanessa is looking and
searching through the trunk of her mother's belongings filled with articles
and keepsakes, hoping to find answers to the troubling questions in her own
life. Vanessa finds her mother's diary and reads about the progression of her
disease. As she is reading and skimming through her mother's diary, Vanessa
finds out how frightened her mom was that she might have passed Martin's
Syndrome on to her beloved daughter.
At Surf Central
Virginia is on the phone with Tyus's assistant and told her that even though
she doesn't have an appointment it's imperative that she sees Dr. Robbins
today. The assistant manages to squeeze Virginia in and she thanks the
assistant. However, Michael overhears her making an appointment with Dr.
Robinson's nurse and ask her if she is okay and why does she need to see Tyus.
Virginia told him she didn't want to have to tell him until she talked to
Tyus. It's probably nothing, she's just been having some medical problems
which require attention and didn't want to worry him and Jimmy. Michael asked
her how sick was she. Virginia told him she didn't want to burden him.
Michael told her she is like family and he would help her through it and
would never desert her no matter what. Virginia hugs him and told him that is
exactly what she was afraid of, that he would put his life on hold to help
her. As Michael comforts her, Virginia has a satisfied smirk on her face. She
then leaves for the hospital to up-step her plan........Back At The Hospital,
Tyus's assistant brought Virginia into his exam room and told her that he will
be along shortly. Once she is gone, Virginia went and looks into the cabinet
at the skin specimens, and is just about to open it when Tyus walks in and
says okay lets get started. Virginia went into her act about working a lot of
overtime and trying to make a future for her and Jimmy and told him that she
may just be feeling a little fatigued. Tyus told her he knows how difficult
it is being a single mother , but added that he thinks he knows what is
bringing on her sickness and suggest that it has something to do with Vanessa.
Michael is moving in with Vanessa and he knows she is upset about it. Virginia
tells him he is wrong, because she made peace with Vanessa. Tyus told her
that this is him she is talking to and he knows when she is hiding something.
He then told her she has a classic case of mild depression about raising
Jimmy alone and he knows how much she relied on Michael for help. His words
move Virginia and he told her that it was bad enough that she lost her
husband and now she was losing Michael too. Virginia starts crying and tells
him he was right, it's never gonna be the same without Michael around all the
time. She apologizes for falling apart on him. Tyus told her she can always
fall apart with him. Sticking back to her plan, Virginia asked Tyus to give
her a minute to pull herself together. Tyus gets up to leave and tells
Virginia she can call him away from the office if she ever needs to talk.
Virginia thanks him and once he's gone says she thought he would never leave.
Then she pulls out Lena's skin sample and says I won't have no more tears once
Vanessa finds out she has Martin's Syndrome, because she will leave Michael
before he has a chance to unpack his toothbrush. Virginia hears Tyus coming
and hurries and puts the skin samples back in the cabinet and shuts it. Tyus
gets a file and asked her again if she was going to be alright. Virginia tells
him she just needs a little more time. Tyus told her take all the time she
needs and then exits again. Virginia switches the petri dishes in Tyus' office
but loses track of which was Lena's and which was Vanessa's. Positive that she
knows which one is Lena's she puts the "V.H." sticker on it and hopes she was
right. She then leaves before Tyus returns again and says all she needs to do
is wait for the test results.
At The Richards
Annie follows Gregory home and finds out that his new infatuation is not
another woman. He is there to meet Caitlin and Trey. Gregory asks Annie what
she is doing there. Annie told him that she needed his input on the resort
decision. Gregory says that he thought she took care of that already and Annie
tells him she did but before she can finishes, Gregory cuts her off and tells
her that he wants to spend some quality time with his Grandson. Annie spies
the box from the jewelers and asks who got something from the jewelry store.
Caitlin told her that Gregory bought Trey and engraved Silver Spoon. Gregory
says he was beginning to see a lot of himself in Trey, adding that he's got
what it takes to get ahead and succeed just like his dad. This statement
surprises Annie, but Gregory says he means like his Grandfather. Caitlin tells
him he was right the first time. Trey will be just like Cole. Gregory ask
Caitlin is she and Cole have considered his offer to stay at his place, but
Caitlin told her dad that they want a place of their own. Gregory told her
everything Trey needs is here and he just wants to spend as much time as he
can with him. As they are discussing the possibilities, Annie is daydreaming
of the baby in the bathtub. She said it is time to throw the baby out with the
bath water. She throws the tub and baby out the window. She then told herself
that she always knew there would be some competition but she never thought it
would be coming from a squirming bundle of drool.
At The Construction Site
The man who has been following Cole is watching him. As the Foreman walks by
the man, he calls out to Cole who looks up and sees the stranger again, who
hides. The Foreman told him he was looking for Al. He needs him to look at
the site where they just broke ground. Cole told him that Al was on break and
offers to go and take a look. As Cole went to check out the site, the man
follows him. Cole senses this and circles around the a tree and corners the
man demanding to know why he is following him.......
Derek tries to get password out of Meg but realizes she doesn't know it. Gregory demands to know the truth about the baby. Caitlin lies. Cole fights with the dark haired man who told him that he doesn't know who he is working for. He just sent the hair to a postal box. Cole suspects Gregory.
At The Post Office,
Cole is there to see if he can find out who hired the man who was stalking
him. As he is getting ready to leave, Gregory shows up and Cole hides back
where the P.O. Boxes are and says maybe now he can get some proof that Gregory
was behind the plot all along. Gregory calls out is any body home, which
further peaks Cole's suspicions. A clerk comes out and hands Gregory a
envelope. As Gregory is getting ready to leave, Cole walks over and snatches
the envelope out of Gregory's hands and says he is tired of Gregory playing
his sick games. Gregory told Cole to give it back to him. Cole asked him if he
had something to hide and opens the envelope. It's only paperwork. Gregory
asked him what he expected to find. Cole said his hair sample and then
accuses Gregory of hiring the stalker to obtain the hair sample. Gregory
laughs it off telling Cole there is no sense in him denying it, I did it. You
found me out, I should have known I couldn't hide it from someone as smart as
you. He then told Cole that he is far too busy to be caught up in Cole's
little games he has real work to do. Cole doesn't buy any of it and tells
Gregory he liked to know what is going on. Gregory arrogantly told Cole that
he use to be a jewel thief and he probably has lots of enemies, because after
all the Deschanel family have always been losers. Cole says nothing but gives
Gregory the suspicious eye. Before he leaves, Gregory told Cole that if he
ever were involved in such a hair raising (laugh) escapade, what would make
Cole think that he would be smart enough to catch him.

fixation about Maria's death. She told him he should ask him to work at the
mission or play basketball because he needs more in life than just work.
Antonio smiles and told her that as they speak, Ricardo is out on a date with
Gabi Martinez. She is pleased and told Antonio that is good news. Antonio ask
if she minds that Ricardo took Gabi out, but Carmen told him she likes Gabi
and told her that she would find true love in Sunset Beach, adding that maybe
her and Ricardo could find it together. She then mentions to Antonio that she
hates the woman who falsely accused Ricardo of rape. Realizing his mother

headache. Meg told him to go lay down they can finish this later and she will
go and check up on her parents. After Meg went out, Derek yells "she doesn't

asked Caitlin what she was doing. She told him she was looking for an
apartment, but all the prices are sky high. Cole told her she deserved better
than this apartment. She told him she would live anywhere with him and Cole
told her they would get another place even if he had to take extra shifts. He
sees the silver spoon and ask her where it came from. She told him that
Gregory gave it to Trey when she went to see Sean. Caitlin thinks now that
Trey is in the picture, Gregory has changed. Saying, he really loves Trey and
maybe he's the best thing for helping her dad deal with the grief of losing
his own baby. Caitlin then asked Cole how his bump was and wondered why anyone
would do that to him and asked if he figured it out.......Cut to a lab where
it shows gloved hands opening the bag containing the hair sample. Then it
shows a scientist putting the hair in a test tube. The phone rings. The
scientist told the person on the phone that he was doing the test now, and it
looks like they got exactly what he wanted........Cut to The Richards, where
Gregory is thinking about his encounter with Cole earlier. Gregory says so

why would I do that? Grinning.
Out On The Town,
Ricardo and Gabi are walking along and they run into Spencer. One of Ricardo's
co-workers at the force. Surprised to see them both together, Ricardo asked
him if there was anything to report. Spencer said everything was quiet.
Ricardo told him good, lets keep it that way. The two go out to dinner and
have a good time, despite some initial awkwardness. Over dinner, Ricardo
assures Gabi he doesn't care what people will say once word of their new
friendship gets out. As Ricardo walks Gabi home, she told him she was
surprised he asked her out. Ricardo asked her if that is the reason she agreed
to go. Gabi told him no and Ricardo asks her if he can call her again. Gabi
tells him she would like that and adds she had a wonderful time. She enters
Surf Central and has a flashback of her father. Antonio enters the room and
asked her if she had a good time. She told him a great time and then runs
upstairs.

Meg explains to her parents that Ben has been acting very distant lately and
she thinks it has something to do with the death of his brother. Hank told
her that he didn't know Ben had a brother. Meg told them that he died and
she just found out today. As Hank went to put his coat in the coat closet, he
finds the computer and asked Meg what happened to it. Joan told her it was
probably an accident, but Meg doesn't think so and really begins to worry
about Ben now and calls The Deep to see if he is there. When she finds out
that he isn't, Hank suggest to her that he probably just went out to get some
fresh air like he said. Meg told him that she needs to find him and thinks
she knows where he is at.
At The Warehouse,
Ben is still working on the chains. He told himself, what ever you do Meg
don't let Derek know you don't know the password. Meanwhile in The Warehouse
District, Eddie is still following Derek. He told himself to forget about the
horse betting I am betting on Ben, let's find out what he is up to. Inside,
Ben is still working on the chains and Derek enters saying you bastard, you
are going to pay for this. Derek told him Meg doesn't know the password and
you knew it and wasted my time. Ben asked Derek where Meg was. Saying, you
didn't... Derek said kill her, no I didn't, not yet but someone will die soon.
There is only one way to get your fortune now, you're the one that is going to
turn up dead. Meanwhile, Eddie is outside the warehouse saying what is a guy
like Ben doing at a place like this...
Meg is disturbed to hear the employees at The Deep grumbling about their overdue paychecks. At the warehouse, Derek taunts his twin with a new plan to marry Meg and have all of Ben's holdings turned over to his next of kin following the "groom's" tragic demise. Virginia asks Mrs. Moreau to help her identify the culture in the petri dish she stole from Tyus' office. Vanessa and Michael discuss the adjustments they'll both have to make as they move in together. When the witch woman just laughs in her face, a frustrated Virginia looks elsewhere for a way to determine whose skin sample she's holding. Meanwhile, Tyus calls Vanessa in to go over her test results. Virginia sneaks a peek at the lab report but is unable to make heads or tails of the medical jargon. Later, she listens from behind the door as Vanessa nervously asks Tyus for her diagnosis. Eddie picks the lock on the warehouse door and is astonished to find Ben chained to the wall.
