Jude has a change of heart and returns to comfort a sobbing Annie. Amy realizes too late the part she and Annie played in tossing Olivia off the wagon and chasing Sean out of town. Though his mother accuses him of lying in front of Antonio and Gabi, Ricardo manages to joke his way out of a corner. Amy vows to force Annie to help her reunite with the man she loves. "Tobias" arrives to find Olivia drunkenly struggling with Amy, who slips away in search of Annie. A.J. appeals to Bette for help getting Olivia sober again. Michael went to great lengths to persuade Vanessa to marry him on New Year's Eve and start the new millennium off on the right foot. Ricardo hisses to Carmen that he'll never forgive her if she reveals his secret. Worried when they learn how all of Olivia's children have left town, A.J. and Bette hurry over to their friend's house to check on her. Annie admits to Jude that she keeps people at a distance because she's afraid they won't like her once they really get to know her. "Tobias" hits the roof when Olivia discloses how Caitlin took Trey off to Europe. Amy threatens to squeal on Annie unless she finds a way to bring Sean back to Sunset Beach. Ricardo's plan hits a major snag when Antonio balks at going out of town with Gabi that night.
Amy/Annie:
At the Liberty Corporation Amy, still dressed as a Novice, is threatening
Annie that she can blow the whistle on her and that she has the upper hand
and there is nothing Annie can do about it. Annie told Amy that she is way
out of her league but Amy went on to say that she won't feel that way once
she told everyone about the potion she received from Mrs. Moreau which made
Olivia start drinking again. Annie responds by saying that no one will
believe a nymphomaniac, surfer girl that believes she's a nun. But Amy
responds by saying that they will believe her as soon as she takes them
directly to Mrs. Moreau. Annie threatens her by saying that if she reveals
the truth about Mrs. Moreau, everyone will find out how pathetic Amy is that
she had to drug a guy to get him to sleep with her. But Amy interrupts and
says that she's not concerned what others think of her because she's lost
Sean for good and if Annie doesn't help her get him back immediately she will
start singing like a bird. Annie told her that she is guilty of a crime and
that Amy is now an accessory to everything that she's done and no one will
believe Amy. Annie went on to say that she will end up going to jail but Amy
tells her that without Sean her life is over and all that she has left is to
make Annie pay. Just then Bette walks into the office.
Olivia/Tobias/Jude/AJ/Bette:
Tobias is encouraging a drunken Olivia to search Caitlin's bedroom for some
clue as to where she has gone with Trey and Sean. As soon as Olivia went
upstairs, Tobias using Gregory's voice damns Olivia saying that he has not
gone through all of this just to lose Caitlin to Cole again. Just then he
picks up a vase of flowers and hurls it toward the front door just as Jude
walks in. Gregory returns in character as Tobias saying that he didn't see
Jude come in. Jude responds by brushing the shattered vase pieces off his
jacket and asks Tobias what is going on. As they continue to talk Olivia
returns telling Tobias she couldn't find any evidence as to where the
children had gone, but Tobias questions how thorough the search was
considering she didn't take time to put down the drink in her hand. Olivia
looks at Tobias with drunken bewilderment just as Jude asks if there is
anything he can do to help. Tobias responds saying that it's none of Jude's
business. Just then the doorbell rings and in walks AJ and Bette asking if
it's true that Caitlin and Sean took Trey and left the country. Jude
interrupts asking if Cole contacted Caitlin. AJ says no, Cole has not been
in touch and all he knows is that he received a message from Caitlin stating
that she left SB with Sean and Trey to find Cole. Jude interrupts again
asking to use the phone so he can make some calls in the attempt to track
them down. As Jude went upstairs, AJ told Olivia that he and Bette are there
to have a serious discussion about her drinking. They all follow her into the
living room telling her that her children left town, breaking the law, to
keep Olivia from doing to Trey what she did to them. Bette and AJ go on to
say that they love her but that they will not stick around to watch her
destroy herself with the drinking. Olivia begs them to stop, she begins
crying saying that they are right. Bette embraces Olivia and told her that
they're not there to hurt her and Olivia admits that she knows they love her
but she has to face this drinking problem on her own. She asks to speak to
AJ alone. Bette says she loves her and leaves. Tobias go upstairs to check
on Jude's progress. Olivia kisses AJ and thanks him for his help but AJ says
it sounds as though she is saying good-bye.
Jude is alone in the Tobias' bedroom. As he finishes talking to private investigators about tracking Caitlin down he hangs up the phone and opens the desk draw looking for a pen. Instead he finds a photo of Gregory. As he stare into a photo Tobias walks into the room. Tobias turns to close the door just as Jude says "This isn't going as planned. Is it Gregory?"
Ricardo/Gabi/Antonio/Carmen:
Outside of Ricardo's apartment, Gabi is trying to get Carmen to confide in
her but Carmen reflects back to a conversation with Ricardo earlier, saying
that if Carmen told anyone he can walk, he will never speak to her again.
As a result Carmen just told Gabi that she is worried about Ricardo. She
flashes back to when she walked into the apartment and found Ricardo walking,
but as she comes out of the flash back she told Gabi she is just worried
about the two of them. Gabi told Carmen that the worst is over and she
feels that things are getting back on track with Ricardo but she continues to
question Carmen as to why she is so upset. Carmen covers by saying she is
worried that he's overdoing it. Gabi responds by saying that she will do
everything to make sure Ricardo is fine. Carmen thanks her and bids
goodnight.
Meanwhile inside the apartment, Ricardo is attempting to persuade Antonio to go to the Timeshare with Gabi tonight but Antonio explains that he is too busy with a special class that evening for the parents of his Catechism class. Ricardo begins to get upset saying that he doesn't understand why Antonio can't just do him this favor and went on to explain that he's just so frustrated and apologizes for getting upset. He then explains that he was looking forward to getting away with Gabi for some kind of honeymoon and he that he only had the Cabin for a few more days. He continues to make Antonio feel guilty for turning him down and Antonio finally gives in saying "let me see what I can do about making other arrangements." As Antonio picks up the Phone to call the Mission, Ricardo thinks to himself that he's got him. Gabi comes back into the apartment and told Ricardo that Carmen was just concerned about him but didn't say anything specific, it's just a feeling she had. Just then Antonio gets off the phone and Ricardo asks if he has made the arrangements to be available to go with Gabi to the cabin. Antonio announces that he has and as he and Gabi make sandwiches for their trip, Ricardo reflects on all the plans he's been making in order to set Antonio and Gabi to pay for all they've done to him.
Meanwhile, Carmen is doing a card reading and continues to see a warning but is confused as to which of her children it's referring to.
Back at the apartment, Gabi and Antonio are about to leave when Antonio knocks the mail off the table. Gabi picks up the mail and notices a letter from the Insurance Company, marked urgent. As she begins to open it, Ricardo yells at her to stop.
Brad and Emily are working at the Lifeguard Headquarters and Brad is talking away and begins to tease her by saying he's dating Chelsea Clinton, and then he told Emily that she hasn't heard a word he's been saying and asks if it has something to do with Sean. Emily apologizes saying that Sean is gone and has left SB for good. Brad questions her about Sean's reasons, asking if Sean only left to get Emily back but she dismisses that idea saying Sean is not like that, he doesn't play games. But Brad interrupts saying that she didn't think Sean would cheat either but again Emily dismisses his comments. Brad comments about Amy finding out and Emily says that she already knows and she's "nun" too happy. Emily went on to say that Amy is pretending to become a nun just to get Sean back but that it's not working to influence him. She goes on to talk about how she trusted Amy and Sean but they both let her down and now Brad was the only one she could trust. Just then Brad flashes back to when Amy got him to help before she drugged Sean. As he comes out of the flash back, he looks at Emily and sighs.
With their plan temporarily derailed, an irate Gregory reminds Jude why they teamed up in the first place. Olivia sadly explains to A.J. that she loves him far too much to drag him down with her as she spirals even deeper into an alcoholic haze. Ricardo talks fast to prevent Gabi from reading the letter from the insurance company. Gregory orders Jude to bring Caitlin back from Europe before she manages to track Cole down. Olivia walks in on a private chat between Jude and Gregory but is too drunk to realize that "Tobias" is not who he seems to be. Dumbstruck when "Tobias" suggests that she started drinking again because she misses her husband, a giggling Olivia assures him she couldn't be happier now that Gregory is gone for good. Bette rails at her niece for her lack of sympathy towards Olivia. Ricardo places an urgent call to Michael. At the cottage, Antonio gently presses Gabi to disclose her secret.

started asked about possible places that they would be. Ricardo told him that
they were no where to be found. Michael help him back on the bed and told him
that if he found out where they are he'll call. as Michael got outside the

Gabi and Antonio at the Cabin:
Gabi and Antonio are talking about Ricardo knowing. Antonio says that he has
to let Ricardo knows, or things will get worse. Gabi asks how things will
get worse, and Antonio says he can't just pretend that he doesn't know
Ricardo knows, it will do what they have been trying not to do: ruin all
their relationships. Gabi says that Ricardo has been dealing, his way of
dealing is to let Antonio believe Ricardo doesn't know. Antonio says that
the reason he, Maria and Carmen agreed to keep the secret is because they
know that Ricardo loves and hates with passion and always has. They were
afraid of what would happen to everyone once Ricardo found out. Gabi says
that she knows that it is a shock, and begs Antonio to listen. Antonio says
that if Ricardo had forgiven him, he would not have told Gabi not to tell him
Ricardo knew. Gabi told Antonio that she and Ricardo have talked about it a
lot, and that she feels that Ricardo has genuinely forgiven them and that
they are lucky to have him.

Ricardo is at the door with a bag, about to leave, but when he opens the
door, Michael is standing there. Michael had come back for his pager, and
asks Ricardo where he is going and what is in the bag. Ricardo told him he
has champaign for him and Gabi, and that he is excited that he can walk and
wants to surprise them. He says that he had just left a message on Michael's
machine telling him that he thinks he knows where Gabi and Antonio went. He
tells Michael about the cabin. Michael asks, "Together?" and Ricardo says
that he has been telling her it is romantic and that it would be like them to
go up there and fix it up. Michael told Ricardo there is NO WAY he can
drive up the coast alone. Ricardo asks him how much he loves Vanessa,
because he loves Gabi as much and ever since his stroke things have been low
and now that he can walk things will be brighter. Michael starts to warm up,
and agrees Ricardo can go...............but Michael will drive him up there.
Ricardo yells "NO!" Michael looks at him funny, and says that Ricardo just
started walking, he shouldn't be driving alone, besides, if Antonio is
already there, it isn't like Michael would be getting in the way of anything.
Michael gets paged and has to go, but says he'll be back to take Ricardo and
makes him promise not to leave. Ricardo agrees and Michael leaves, then
Ricardo leaves too.

looks in. A wolf howls and Gabi is freaked out. Antonio says that wolves do
that to track prey, and told her not to worry because it isn't tracking
them. Gabi apologizes for being a baby. Antonio told her she isn't, that
she is one of the strongest women he knows to go through what she has alone.
Antonio says he know why she never told and they hug..... Ricardo sees and
says, "It didn't take them long to find their way back into each other's
arms." Then he reaches down and pulls out the gun.

where she is and Carmen calls her a liar. Tess told Carmen to stop because
she is upsetting Benjy, and then Zack shows up and Benjy leaves. Tess told
Carmen to leave. Carmen won't and says, "You don't think I know the truth?"
Then she says that she is not leaving until Tess told her where Maria went.
Tess told Carmen that she is Benjy's nanny-that Maria is a little too old
for one. They argue back and forth as to whether or not Tess knows, and then
Carmen says she knows Maria wouldn't leave because she promised Carmen she
wouldn't. Carmen stops and says that there is evil in the house and that
Tess is in the middle of it, she knows how evil smells. Tess asks, "Is it
anything like that cheap perfume you are wearing?" Carmen leaves saying she
must find Maria.
Ricardo's House:
Carmen went to Ricardo's and knocks on the door, but no one is there. She
sees the note Ricardo wrote Michael, but it doesn't say WHERE he went. She

and that he'll be fine, Michael says no he won't.
Sara and Meg:

knows, and Sara says that he called his mother by the wrong name. Sara told
Meg she is going to call the police. Meg talks her out of it, saying that
they don't have enough for the police to go on. Sara asks Meg if she
believes Ben could do anything to Casey. Meg says Ben didn't and won't do
anything, but then agrees that she does have a bad feeling They lock up and
leave because Meg has an idea. They search Casey's room and find nothing.
Sara says they should be checking Ben's house, but they can't because Casey
took the key. Meg has another idea. They go to her room to look and see if
she threw a spare key in a box while she was packing. Meg finds a pressed
rose that Ben had given her one time after making love. She then comments
that she doesn't know who he is anymore, and that it is like he is dead now.
Meg asks Sara if she thinks Ben could really go that far. Sara finds the
key, and they start to leave, but run into Carmen. Carmen told them that
they are the only ones who will help her save Maria.
Casey, Derek, and Maria:
Derek told Casey that now that Meg and Sara are off the trail, he is going
back on his word and that he no longer has any use for Casey. Maria says no,
Derek turns toward her, and Casey gets free and tackles him. They fight, the
knife is knocked away, and when Casey focuses on it, Derek pushes him off,
grabs the knife, and told Casey if he moves he is killing Maria. He ties
Casey back up, and Maria told him not to kill him, he has nothing to do with
it. Derek says he will because Casey is no longer of use to him. Maria
tells him that the more bodies, the harder to escape. He can take all Ben's
money and just leave. Derek told her that he is only keeping her alive
because he needs her to make the plan work. Tess calls and told him not to
kill Casey because they might need him. Derek takes Maria into another room.
Derek told her that he already pretended and that she slept with him and
never knew, then he leaves. Maria fights against her ropes and gets free.
Then she gets a wire out of the drawer and picks the lock. She went out into
the hallway and hears Tess and Derek. Tess told Derek they still need
Casey, now Carmen is suspicious, what if she runs into Meg and Sarah and they
figure it out? Meanwhile, Maria has found her way downstairs and sees a
covered body on the table and gasps "No......."
