Alone in her suite, Erica holds the queen of hearts while the apparition of her father's hands raise a card to reveal the king of spades. Erica drops her card and hollers, "I don't want to play this game any more." Someone knocks. Erica opens the door to reveal Zach. She throws her arms around his neck and begs Zach, "Please make him go away." Erica comes to her senses and apologizes to Mr. Slater for behaving so strangely. Zach looks around for the "him." Erica explains it's siesta time and she was having a bad dream when he knocked. She offers Zach refreshments. He wants food but the best Erica can offer is brandy with a splash of soda. She's drinking on an empty stomach. That concerns Zach. He confronts Erica about the phantom that won't go away and asks if it's her father. The question catches Erica off guard. She asks who he's been talking to. Zach tells her he did an Internet search and offers condolences on her father. Erica tells him to save it. Zach is also on the hospital board and knows her father died moments before she got there. Zach tries to be a friend and discuss her problems with her. Erica wants no part of his so-called friendship. She goes for another drink. Zach physically separates Erica from the bottle. "Don't touch me," Erica screams at him. "What do you think you're doing?" she demands. Zach tells her he's cutting her off. None of his employees will ever serve her a drink again. "No body tells Erica Kane what to do," Erica reminds Zach. Fine. But he's still her boss. He tells her to show up for work on time and sober or she's fired. Left alone again in her room, Erica falls asleep and dreams of seeing herself in a rocking chair like she's rocking a baby. She awakes to see the rocking chair beside her bed empty but rocking back and forth. The apparition's hand reaches forward and stills the chair.

Adam corners Tad at the pre-wedding gathering and asks what his P.I. instincts are telling him about Babe. Adam lets on that he wants to help Babe by tracking her background and involvement with Paul Cramer. He wants Tad to team up with him. Tad finds Adam's request hilarious and refuses to help him get rid of Babe. Disappointed that his scheme didn't work with Tad, Adam leaves in search of Mary. Left alone in the front room, Tad answers the doorbell. It's Jackson arriving, whom Tad thought had gone to Vegas. Jack tells him he got better advice and as hard as it was, he took it.

Outside in the patio area at Chandler Mansion, JR asks Bianca what she's so scared of. Bianca is honest with him and asks the same in return. Bianca knows Babe wants her in Bess' life, but Bianca doesn't get the same vibe from JR. He tells her, "If I had my way, you'd never hold my baby again." JR explains he's concerned about what's best for his daughter and for Bianca too. Bianca understands he's in an impossible situation. JR pleads with Bianca to see his point of view. She says she does, and now she needs JR to understand hers. "As long as we're being perfectly honest, I've had the same fears myself," Bianca tells him. That's why Bianca has been keeping Maggie so close, so if she skates too close to the edge Maggie will be there to pull her back. Bianca tells him she doesn't want to ruin the day for Babe, so she's going through with the Christening and being Bess' godmother but then she's stepping back and will find ways not too see Bess unless there is a crowd around. She asks JR if it's okay for her to see Bess when he's around. "Of course," JR sincerely replies. Glad they understand one another, Bianca goes to help Babe get ready but not before telling JR what a beautiful daughter he has and how lucky he is to have her.

Babe paces nervously in her bedroom talking to her mom. She wonders if she can keep the truth from Bianca. At the same time, she can't imagine hurting JR so badly. Babe says she can't take the secret to her grave the way Paul did. A knock on the door reveals Jamie, who says they need to talk and it can't wait until after the ceremony. Krystal leaves them alone. Jamie brings up Paul Cramer. He tells Babe that lie really hurt his brother. Jamie needs to know before he stands up for them if that is the last lie she'll ever blindside JR with. Babe promises Jamie she'll be the best wife ever and thanks him for caring.

Tad bumps into Krystal on the patio. He makes fun of her nervous munchies. Tad tells her everything is going to be alright, that there won'' be any more bombs today. They commiserate about how hard it is to raise children then let them go and make their own mistakes. Tad welcomes Krystal to the "can't win for losing club." Krystal thanks Tad for his kinds words and leaves to find her date, David Hayward.

Maggie finds Jamie and senses something is bugging him. Jamie tells her JR was giving off weird vibes at his bachelor party and today he's getting the same vibes from Babe. Maggie says any couple renewing their vows before their first anniversary has to be alright. Then again, Maggie admits she's been concentrating on Bianca. Jamie still feels something is up.

Mary sees Greenlee and tells her she is so proud of her for capturing the heir to the Cambia fortune. Mary wants to know what bait finally snagged him. Greenlee tells Mary that getting to have her as a mother-in-law was the clincher then distracts her by telling her she thought she heard someone say they dropped the wedding cake. Frantic that the cake is ruined, Mary hastily exits. Jackson wanders in. Greenlee grabs him and says, "Come with me. You're going to witness a real life miracle." Jack asks what it is. Greenlee tells him Miranda may be alive.

Having figured out the Bess may very well really be Miranda, Kendall wants Greenlee and Ryan to stay with Miranda while she goes to tell Bianca. She wants that baby back in her sister's arms today! Ryan prevails as the voice of reason saying no one can tell Bianca anything until they know more. Greenlee believes maybe Bianca was right when she took Miranda/Bess from the hospital, that the baby really was hers. Kendall agrees and points out to Ryan the very fact that she and Greenlee agree must mean something. Ryan still wants solid proof first. "Like a DNA test?" David suggests as he walks in on their conversation. "Why didn't we see it? This could be Bianca's baby," David says, noting that Adam Chandler had Paul Cramer scared senseless that night. David says God may be redeeming Himself, and on today of all days. Ryan wants to know what is so special about today, but David blows him off. All David needs is a clean swab so he can get a DNA sample from Bess' cheek. As Jack, Greenlee, Ryan and Kendall look on, David takes a DNA sample. JR walks in and wants to know what the hell they're doing to his baby. Ryan steps forward and explains that questions have come up and now there are serious doubts about who the baby really is. Kendall adds they think Paul Cramer made a mistake and the baby is Miranda. JR gathers Bess in his arms and tells them all to back off, that none of them are his friends and this is his baby. Adam comes in. Seeing what is going on tells all of them to get out of his house. "If any of you try to lay claim to my grandchild I swear to God I will kill you," Adam warns. Kendall asks him to hear them out. She tells JR she thinks Babe knows it's Miranda because she overheard Babe calling Bess by Miranda's name. JR demands that Kendall get Babe down there. Now!

Upstairs in the bedroom, Babe and Bianca further bond as "soul sisters" while Bianca fixes Babe's hair. Babe tells Bianca she'd do anything for her. Bianca calls Babe her and her baby's savior. Babe talks to Bianca about keeping the annulment secret from her and hopes she isn't upset. Bianca gives a brief and beautiful soliloquy about how secrets come from fear then asks Babe if she's keeping another secret from JR. Convinced all is okay, Bianca tells Babe about the "legacy of strong women" speech Erica gave to her and Kendall prior to one of her recent weddings. She tells Babe that she is as strong as any Kane woman, past or present, and wants Babe to pass that legacy on to Bess. "Bianca, I didn't think I had the strength, but after what you just said to me, I have the courage to tell you something," Babe says. Before Babe can say any more, Kendall interrupts. She sends Babe to see JR in the library. Bianca objects because Babe is in her wedding dress. It's bad luck. Babe tells her it's okay. With all she and JR have already survived, a little superstition is not going to hurt them. Bianca wants to follow Babe. Kendall tells her it's between the bride and groom. "Just believe in happy endings," Kendall tells her sister, and leaves the room to go back to the library herself. Krystal comes to the bedroom looking for Babe. Bianca tells her JR sent for Babe but she doesn't know why.

Downstairs Babe stands in the middle of the library crowd asking JR what he wants. JR asks her to tell him their baby is not dead because everyone there thinks this baby is Miranda. Babe stands speechless. Tears nearing her eyes, Babe is unable to utter a single word.

Tuesday, JUNE 1, 2004

Reggie was alone at Jack's and was surprised when Lily knocked on the door with Miss Hopkins from her school. Reggie said he understood her autism spectrum disorder and Miss Hopkins reminded him of the need to speak carefully because Lily takes things literally. Lily was expected home in a few days, but was distraught about a favorite teacher leaving and had run away from school and wanted to come home right away. Reggie tried to call Jack, but couldn't get through to the wedding and he promised to take care of Lily and stay home until Jack returns. Miss Hopkins reluctantly left to catch her flight back. Lily was confused about Reggie saying they would "chill out" and then she freaked out when he bounced a basketball.

At home, Livia was yelling at Danielle for taking her credit card and running up the charges. Derek was sure it had been Reggie's idea. He was very angry and threw an apron to Danielle saying he'd gotten her a job at the Serving Spoon. She said she already had a job at Fusion. Derek and Livia were stunned. Danielle spun a story about being motivated to start a real career and needing the new wardrobe. Then Derek saw her tattoo. He blamed Reggie for that too and threatened to send her back to her mother on the next train. Danielle said she would pack if her father no longer wanted her.

Wedding guests began arriving at Chandler mansion. Jamie told Tad things don't seem right between JR and Babe. The guests in the library continued to discuss Bess and whose baby she really is. Adam, JR, and Kendall pressed Babe for an answer. Krystal urged her daughter to tell them. Babe stammered and Tad and Jamie entered the room. Tad explained he'd already run a DNA test proving that Bess is a Chandler. Babe and Krystal quietly left the room. Tad defended the test he'd done and swore no one could have fooled with it. Bianca's family was very disappointed with the news.

Maggie was upstairs talking to Bianca, who realized Bess could never replace Miranda and she needs to keep her distance.

Babe found JR holding Bess on a terrace and told him she loves him. Kendall apologized to JR after Babe left but JR was still furious. Adam walked in to say there was a rumor the wedding was off. JR said it was happening right away.

Jamie found Babe and said how relieved he was the baby was hers. Babe was ready to fall apart in her room when Bianca asked what was wrong. Babe said the baby was fine and that JR loves her. She hugged Bianca and told her how much her friendship means. Bianca left to tell everyone they are ready to start.

Krystal thanked Tad for telling the group about the DNA test. She talked to David next and said she understood how he felt. She hugged him and when Tad saw that, he turned and walked away. Liza was very interested in what mad Tad look so disappointed. Krystal went upstairs and Babe told her she knows what she has to do. The wedding procession started, led by Colby. JR beamed coldly as Krystal walked Babe down the aisle. The baby made noises during the "or forever hold your peace" part and the guests giggled. After the vows, JR held Bess and made vows to her as a protective father. The baby was crying as he passed her to Bianca for the christening. Everyone noticed she quieted right down once she was in Bianca's arms. Babe's inner voice was telling her to tell the truth, but she worried about telling JR, and asked for a sign. When the ceremony was nearly over, Babe interrupted and said she had something important to say. She said Bianca is not just the baby's godmother, she is also the baby's momma.

Wednesday, JUNE 2

At the altar with Bianca holding Bess, Babe tearfully spoke about the ordeal she and Bianca went through in the cabin the night of the storm. She said that together she and Bianca would grieve the loss of a child. Babe said that while she was the lucky one who was handed the baby that survived, she wouldn't turn her back on Bianca. She told everyone that while Bianca is Bess's godmother, she wanted her to be the baby's mother too. Babe went on that she wanted Bianca to be there when Bess takes her first steps, says her first words, walks down the aisle to get married and when she has her first child. Kendall couldn't sit through this any longer and went off. She blurted out that after everything Babe has done she didn't deserve a happy ending. Bianca tried to calm her sister but Kendall walked to the front still trashing Babe. Krystal stood up with Babe and JR tried to get Kendall to leave. Ryan came forward and led her out of the ceremony. Babe was visibly shaken and asked JR why she wouldn't have her happy ending. JR looked at her coldly and picked up Bess to comfort her. The minister restarted the ceremony and Bianca reached out to hold Bess. JR just glared at her until Babe gently told him to hand the baby to Bianca. The minister christened the baby Elizabeth Miranda Chandler while Bianca held her, smiling. Babe and JR watched, one with guilt and one with distrust.

In Adam's office Ryan tried to get Kendall to calm down but she just ranted on and on about Babe's lies and that she was just playing Bianca and JR. Kendall said that it was all Babe's fault that Bianca didn't have her baby. Finally Ryan shut her up by saying she wasn't really angry at Babe, she was angry at him. Kendall turned on him and demanded that he help her work through it then because he was the only person who knew her. She ordered him to admit he only married Greenlee to hurt her. Ryan said he married Greenlee because he could have the life he wants with her, "I can breathe. I don't have to explain myself to her, I don't get grilled, I don't get tested." Kendall asked what made him decide Greenlee was the one, what feelings did he have for her. Ryan said it was love. Kendall said "Oh you mean like you love French fries, like you love your pet?" Ryan told her he wanted off the merry go round and headed toward the door. Kendall stopped him and apologized, saying she didn't know what was wrong with her. She begged Ryan to help her before she wrecked what was left of her life. Ryan told her to drop the act and find someone else to work over. Kendall bad mouthed Greenlee again and said Greenlee didn't love Ryan like she loved him. She said she knows that Ryan still loves her too and that their love is too strong. Ryan said it was all lies, games and tricks "No thanks." Kendall cried "I'm the one you want, you'll come back!" and grabbed Ryan, planting a deep kiss on him.

When the ceremony ended Babe and Bianca played with Bess until JR came over and said it was time for her nap. He picked the baby up and Bianca apologized for Kendall's behavior. Babe said Kendal was still stressed out about losing her niece. Babe hugged Bianca while JR just glared at them. Bianca pulled back and said there was no way she'd intrude on their family. "I love Bess as her own little person, not as a replacement for Miranda." Bianca turned to join Maggie and Babe tried to talk to JR, who ignored her and took Bess to the nursery. Krystal joined Babe and told her how proud she was of her and that this was the best compromise. Liza strolled over to Tad and made some very snide comments about the Carey women. Tad just snapped "Not today Liza" and walked away from her. Mary walked over to Greenlee and said that Kendall staged her tantrum to get Ryan alone. Greenlee told her she trusted her husband.

Babe and her mother went upstairs to Babe's bedroom. Babe said she just couldn't tell the truth about the baby, that she loved Bianca but she loved JR more. Meanwhile JR was in the nursery with Bess. Jamie came in and told him that at least now everyone knows for sure that Bess is his child. JR ignored him. Jamie told him not to let Kendall get to him. JR very angrily said no one would ever take his child and that she wasn't a pet to be passed around. Jamie said she was Babe's child too. JR coldly said he knew she was Babe's too. The baby fussed and JR went to her. Jamie told him everyone was downstairs waiting for him and Babe to start the party with a dance. JR told him to take his place, he was going to take care of Bess. Jamie thought this was very strange but went on downstairs. Adam came in with the nanny and told JR how proud he was of how he handled everything. JR told the nanny to take Bess down to be fed and to make sure Bianca and Kendall were no where near her. She left with Bess. JR told Adam there was one more thing he'd like to do today, "Kill my bride." Adam lectured JR on behaving like a loving husband so as not to tip Babe off. JR said he didn't know how long he could do it and his father told him he had to be the perfect husband. JR said he had more interest in being the perfect father. In her room Babe told her mother what she did was selfish and it would haunt her forever. Krystal told her to bury the guilt and never do anything less than love Bess with all her heart and soul. Babe promised to spend her life making Bess and JR every shade of happy. Krystal said she was Bess's mamma in every way that mattered. Babe said she can live with the guilt and Kendall's anger because she did it for JR. They went downstairs to the party.

Mary found Greenlee and harassed her about Ryan and Kendall. Greenlee didn't seem concerned at all and said again that she trusted him. She walked away and Jack stopped her, voicing his concern about Ryan and Kendall. Greenlee tried to reassure him that she was happy with Ryan but Jack was still worried about her.

Liza found David, who knew right away she didn't want to just chit chat. He said she wanted to talk to him about Tad but she said no, she wanted to talk about the mother of the bride. She asked how long he'd been sleeping with Krystal and David realized she was hoping he had cleared the field for her to get Tad. David was very amused. She asked him where Krystal was and he quipped "Probably with Tad!", much to Liza's disgust.

Babe looked around for JR who finally showed up. He kissed her and they began to slow dance. She asked if he was angry with her. JR barely looked at her as he said there was no need for her to apologize for wanted to help a friend. Then he told her how gorgeous she looked and that he couldn't wait to get her alone. He dipped her and Babe giggled happily. The music sped up and they fast danced. Bianca and Maggie stood to the side and watched. Maggie said she wasn't happy with the way JR was behaving but Bianca blamed it on Kendall. Maggie said Kendall needed an off switch. Bianca said Kendall didn't just lose a niece, she lost Ryan too. Then she asked "Does love ever turn out the way it's supposed to?" Maggie replied "Good question" and looked longingly at her friend. When the music speeded up she asked Bianca to dance and they headed out to the dance floor. Greenlee sat at the side and watched all the couples. Then she got up to look for Ryan.

Jamie found Tad and told him he thought JR was freaked because Babe wanted to share Bess with Bianca. Tad wasn't very concerned and told Jamie that they would work it out the way married people do. Brooke joined them and Jamie asked her for a dance. Tad stood alone and saw Krystal in the doorway, looking ready to burst into tears. She saw him and ran off. Tad followed and found her sobbing in the secret tunnel. She screamed at him to get out but Tad refused and wanted to know what was wrong. They argued and then Krystal became short of breath. Tad lifted her in his arms and headed out of the tunnel.

Thursday, JUNE 3

While Reggie is trying to do what he can to make Lily feel at home, there is a knock at the door. On the other side, Reggie finds Danielle - once again asking for help. After taking a moment, she realizes there is someone else in the room. Her question of "Who the hell is this?" is quickly met by Reggie's introductions, in the hopes that the situation will be diffused. Danielle, ever suspicious after the prank that he pulled on her, doesn't believe him. She steadily tries to approach Lily, asking who she really is.

Not only does her increasing proximity push Lily closer to the edge, but it's also discovered that she hates the color red. Danielle just happens to be wearing a red headband, and Lily's agitation grows. Reggie tries to get Danielle to back off by explaining that Lily is autistic and that her belligerence is not helping the situation.

It's only when Jack comes in and saves the day that Danielle realizes Reggie wasn't lying. Lily runs over to Jack, who is surprised by her presence. He calms her by telling her that he has her room all ready for her - with no red. A stunned Danielle looks on as Jack leads Lily to her room.

When they are gone, Danielle takes off her headband and tries to apologize, but Reggie doesn't want to hear it. Danielle repeats her apology and says she really needs his help because her dad is trying to send her back to New York.

At that moment, there is another knock at the door - and this time, it's Derek. Glaring, Derek asks for one good reason not to kick Reggie down to the probation office. Jack comes back to the living room and says the reason is that Reggie didn't do anything. He tells Derek that it has always been Danielle's doing.

Frustrated, Derek says that everything - like tattoos and breaking and entering - is over because Danielle is being sent back to live with her mother.

After they leave, Jack thanks Reggie for doing such a great job with Lily. He admits that life with Lily there wouldn't be easy, but Reggie reminds him that as a family, they've never taken the easy path.

Over at the Chandler mansion, Krystal is having a hard time breathing and gasps out that she is having chest pains. Tad picks her up and takes her out to the terrace where David, amongst all the rest, is milling about. Laying her down on a chair, Tad demands that David do something worthwhile by examining her and figuring out the problem. David gives his keys to JR and asks him to get his medical bag from his car. Adam tells JR, in hushed tones, to take his time in retrieving the bag.

When he returns, Babe hovers over Krystal while David listens to her heart. After a few minutes, David pulls out a paper bag and tells Krystal to breathe in and out of the bag slowly. He announces that she had an anxiety attack. Tad is skeptical and thinks they should take her to the hospital so a "real" medical professional could figure out what was happening. David tells him in no uncertain terms that they could do that - but after running a battery of tests, the doctors would come up with the exact same diagnosis. He then tells Krystal that she will be fine.

Feeling a bit better after a few minutes, she asks everyone to leave so that she could talk to David in private. They slowly file into the house where Liza makes a beeline for Tad. She wants to find out what Tad did to make Krystal panic. At the very least, she wants the truth about what happened in the tunnels. Done with her, Tad doesn't give into her probing.

Outside, Krystal tells David that she has some truth to give him. David didn't necessarily want to know, because the truth and honesty had never been kind to him. Krystal plows ahead and tells him that she is sorry for using him to get over his troubles. David admits that he knew that was why he had been added to the mix - and that he was okay with that. He would back away gracefully if his services were no longer needed. Before doing so, David warns her about Tad. He tells her that Tad's girlfriends don't tend to have a long shelf life, and to be careful.

He takes his leave, and Babe takes his place. She tells Krystal that she is to blame for her attack, but Krystal tells her not to worry. Krystal reminds her that David said she would be fine - and the only thing that Babe should worry about is being with her husband on her wedding night. Babe thanks her for sticking by her and goes off to find JR.

Tad finds Krystal on the terrace, and Krystal tells him that she has a new view on life after her "near death experience." She says that she is finally starting to "get" him, and wants another chance. She invites him out to dinner and a movie, and he accepts.

Upstairs, Babe tries to lure JR into some wedding night activities, but he is hesitant. He makes up excuses (he's drunk, he's still rattled from the accusations about "Bess" and Kendall's outburst) and says that while he would like nothing better than to make love to her, he just needed to recharge. Babe agrees, and JR heads off under the guise of checking on "Bess" one more time before bed.

In actuality, he heads downstairs and has a powwow with Adam. JR doesn't think he can keep up the act, but Adam assures him that he only needs to do it for a little while - and then Babe would be gone and "Bess" would be all his. Adam says that they are close to getting everything they want.

While all of this is going on, Bianca confronts Greenlee about why she married Ryan. Greenlee asks her what her thoughts are - and Bianca tells her that she believes that Greenlee went after the one thing that Kendall wants as a way to get back at Kendall for trying to cut her out of Fusion. Greenlee shoots the theory down by saying that Kendall needs to get over herself and realize that Kendall alone is the reason Ryan proposed. She says that Ryan makes her happy, and that if Kendall hadn't pushed so much, she would be married to him instead of Greenlee. She goes further and says that even if she got the marriage annulled and Ryan went back to her, Kendall would still find a way to mess it up.

In the library, Kendall kisses Ryan to prove that he still loves and wants her. He kisses her back for a moment and then pushes her away. She dares him to tell her she's wrong - and Ryan says that isn't the point. He says that she throws words around and manages to string them into a line of something that can be understood, but there's no real meaning behind them. With her, it's all about demands and ultimatums, but with Greenlee he can breathe. He doesn't constantly have to explain himself or prove himself to her.

Nice speech, Kendall says, but how do you really feel? Their arms are locked and they are looking into each other's eyes when Greenlee walks in. She interrupts by asking if they're done. Ryan announces that they are and he and Greenlee leave.

A few minutes later, Bianca walks in and offers Kendall a shoulder to cry on, should she need one. Kendall, manic, says she's not upset because she knows, by the way he was kissing her, that Ryan still loves her. Incredulous, Bianca tells Kendall to forget about Ryan because it's over.

Kendall rants on, oblivious to how she sounds. Bianca tells her that she is worried that she will be the next Kane woman to snap. After locking Greenlee up in the tower, throwing the crazy welcome home party for Greenlee and Ryan, and finally her outburst at the wedding where she cursed Babe, it seemed like she was close.

Kendall says that she can't help herself - every time she is around Ryan, she feels a pull. Bianca counters by saying that every time she is in the room with the PVU Women's Volleyball Team, she feels a pull too - but the difference is that she knows how to resist the urge. Bianca explains that she knows that the world is not a salad bar where people can take whatever they want, whenever they want - and Kendall needs to learn that.

Lastly, Bianca reminds her that whatever Kendall may think about the marriage, Ryan as a person has not changed. He has always been a man of his word, and keeps his promises - he certainly won't change now.

Back at home, Ryan asks rhetorically why he keeps going to the same place over and over again with Kendall. He says, "This needs to end - tonight" and Greenlee wants to know if he means his relationship with Kendall, or his marriage to her.

He means his relationship with Kendall - and admits that his main reason for marrying Greenlee was to save himself from Kendall. Greenlee tells him that she already knew that - because he could have easily thrown a bunch of lawyers and money around and gotten the contract changed if his motive was only to get her back into Fusion.

Dejected, Ryan wonders what he can do. Greenlee, ever willing, asks him how far he wants her to go to help him. After a couple of options, Greenlee tells him that he could trust her and place himself completely in her capable hands. He says he has nothing to lose, and she tells him that he has to do everything she says.

The key is to build up a resistance so that no matter what the situation, he can sustain a "full frontal Kendall assault." She asks him to set the scene in the library by telling her what kinds of things Kendall said. He gives her an idea, and Greenlee launches into a Kendall imitation. It takes a couple tries before Ryan is able to resist the words and attempts to kiss that Greenlee throws at him.

Once they get past that, she kicks it up a notch and then mimics Kendall's strip tease. Dumbfounded, Ryan watches from a chair for a few minutes. When he realizes that she won't stop on her own, he jumps up and makes her. Greenlee grins, says they will pick up where they left off tomorrow and runs off to her room.

David returns home, and empties his pockets on the table - including the DNA swab that he took from "Bess."

Kendall sits outside of the Chandler mansion and flashes back to kissing Ryan. Bianca interrupts her reverie, and tells Kendall again that she was right when she told her things were over with Ryan. Kendall stands up and says, "This is me, moving on."

Friday, JUNE 4

Greenlee goes to Stuart's art gallery in search of the first Dynamite Kiddo comic book. Stuart gives it to her and admits he collects all of the Dynamite Kiddo comics. When Greenlee asks him how much the comic book is, he tells her to consider it a wedding gift. Stuart tends to another customer and Anita walks over to congratulate Greenlee on her nuptials. Greenlee thanks her and then is surprised to find out Anita is getting a divorce. When Greenlee asks her why the change of heart, Anita explains about Bobby lying about Erica being with him in Vegas. Greenlee is surprised and says that if Erica is involved, maybe she should cut Bobby some slack. Anita is taken back that Greenlee is siding with Bobby, but Greenlee says it is not a matter of taking sides - if Erica is involved with a man, it means trouble. Greenlee gets a phone call from a frantic Simone and immediately leaves the gallery. Anita shows Stuart a statue that she bought for Bobby one year as a gift. She tells him she need to sell it, but doesn't mention the money is for the divorce lawyer. Stuart tells her to take it to a dealer, but can probably get around $3,000 for it. Anita is surprised and tells him that is just enough to cover what she needs.

Bianca goes to see Ryan and tells him that he is giving Kendall false hope by kissing her while he is a married man. Ryan retorts that Kendall kissed him first and as many times as he has said it is over, she won't listen. In fact, he says Kendall is obsessed with them getting back together and even sent him a trunk as a wedding gift. Ryan tells Bianca he has to finish getting ready for work, and when he leaves, Bianca finds Kendall hiding inside the trunk. When Ryan walks back in, she quickly shuts it and asks him what he going to do with the trunk. He says he is going to burn it and Bianca tells him that she will take the trunk instead. When Ryan walks away, she opens the lid and tells Kendall to leave. Kendall insists on staying in so she can find out how Ryan and Greenlee really feel about each other. Kendall shuts herself back inside and Ryan comes back to find Bianca talking to herself. Bianca says she sometimes talks to herself to relax. Greenlee comes in and tells Ryan they need to talk. Ryan ushers Bianca out, insisting he will take care of the trunk. Greenlee tells Ryan that officials from the SEC came to Simone to find out more about their marriage. The officials think it's a scam and they have to prove their marriage is real, or else they will end up in jail. Ryan brings up that if the SEC sees their pre-nup they will find out about the no sex clause. Greenlee tells him as long as they stay together at least six months and act like they are in love at the board meeting, things will work out. Greenlee also says that no one knows about the clause, except them. Ryan brings up the idea of consummating the marriage before the meeting to make the marriage "real." He says they might even fall in love. Greenlee tells him that they could fall in love and she doesn't want them to make love to save themselves. If and when they do, she wants it to be for love. A few minutes later, they head to the board meeting and a smug Kendall emerges from the box.

While Edmund and Maria are in bed cuddling, Maria tries to stir up some romance, but Edmund puts her off. Maria explains that they can still make love, it will just be different than what they are used to. Edmund snaps, "I don't want you -- not like this." He apologizes but Maria is already out the door.

Erica sits at a casino table, mulling over her breakfast, when Zack walks over. He asks her if she was expecting some vodka with her breakfast, but Erica insists she doesn't have a drinking problem.
