Ricardo/Gabi/Maria/Michael:
Michael hands Ricardo a few papers and the video tape out of his glove compartment. When Ricardo looks at tape he recalls seeing it for the first time. Ricardo thanks Michael for giving him the stuff. Then Gabi comes in and asks what they are talking about. Michael told her that Ricardo sent him to get his car registration renewed and all the paper work was in the car so he got everything out. Gabi says that she didn't have to do that and offers to take care of it. Them Maria walks in. Ricardo says to himself that he can't let Antonio and Gabi know that he has the tape of them making love. Not before he makes them pay for betraying him.

Ricardo slips the tape in his drawer. Maria gives him a disc man to listen to. Gabi says that Maria is in a good mood and asks Maria if it was anything special. Maria recalls Ben telling her that he wants to be with her and making love with him. Ricardo asks her if it is good. She says that she hopes so. Gabi says that Maria probably has a good reason for keeping the secret and that she has that same problem with not telling her secret to another girl. And Ricardo asks what her secret is. She says that she just left the rectory and Antonio was there with the archbishop. Gabi says that she thinks that the archbishop had a change of heart about not giving Antonio his promotion. Ricardo says to himself that there's no way. Ricardo says to himself that after what he told the archbishop about the two of them it can't be good news. Maria says isn't this great news Ricardo. He mumbles yes. Gabi says that she hopes that she's right because Antonio deserves that promotion more then anything. Ricardo asks Maria if they could go to see what's happening with Antonio at the church but Maria says she can't go then because Benjy only has a half of day of school. Gabi says she will take him.

Ben/Meg:
Meg is at Sara's and her store hanging up some pictures. When she comes across a painting of a mom reading a book to a little boy, she has a flashback of that day when she saw Maria and Ben walking Benjy to school.

He says you saw me and Maria taking Benjy to school. She say that she wasn't following him. She says that things are over between them and that she's accepted that. She says that she, Ben, and Maria have a whole new set of realities to deal with. Ben says that things have changed. She says well then you should know then that going over and over it won't make things better and asks why he's there. He says that he saw how she looked when she walked away at the school. She says that she can take care of herself. He says that he couldn't just walk away. She says that he knows that he has to. He asks her to listen to him and that he just wants to make her feel better and that's why he came there. He pulls out a box and gives it too her. She asks why he is doing this to her. He say because he hasn't stopped caring about her. She opens the box and it's a pearl necklace. She says for God's sake Ben. He says that he felt that she wouldn't take them because they were expensive. He says that whatever they have between them there were still a gift. She says that he's wrong and that they were a symbol of they're commitment a pearl a week until they were married.

Tobias asks you she is and she says that she is Gregory's wife. Annie corrects her by saying ex-wife. Cole takes Annie out Annie says not to believe anything that Olivia has to say. Olivia closes the door and tries to manipulate Tobias to give her the money. She says that is what Gregory would have wanted. Olivia say that all Annie wants is to get Gregory's money.

Thursday, September 16, 1999

The Rectory/Carmen:
As you remember, the Archbishop had just told Antonio at the end of yesterday's show that he was sending him to a monastery where he would not be allowed visitors and couldn't see his family or friends. Gabi had just walked in with Ricardo, and by the time the news update was over, Gabi knew what the Archbishop's intentions were and wasn't very happy. She kept yelling at him telling him it wasn't a good idea. She said he can't take him away from the people who love him. Of course Ricardo is thinking she really means he can't take Antonio away from her. Antonio tries to quiet Gabi down but she continues to voice her opinion and told the AB he has to think about Antonio's brother. The AB said he was. Antonio wants to know what that means. Gabi doesn't know how the AB thinks he can take Antonio away from Ricardo. Antonio told Gabi to stop arguing and the AB told Antonio to prepare to leave tonight. The AB says he has some papers to sign. He takes off and Antonio chases after him. Gabi asks Ricardo why he didn't say anything. Ricardo says he could hardly get a word in edge wise. (Gabi was carrying on none stop.) Gabi doesn't understand why the AB is doing this to Antonio and says it's so unfair. Gabi says she better call their mother and let her know so she can say good by to him. (What about Maria?) Antonio catches up to the AB and told him he still has things to do here and if he leaves tonight, he won't get them done. He told the AB he needs at least 3 or 4 days. The AB says he's leaving tonight and in time he'll realize it's the right decision. Antonio thinks he's punishing him. The AB has to go get some papers from his car. Antonio wonders why this is so necessary. Meanwhile, Carmen is reading her cards and trying to figure out why the AB changed his mind about Antonio's promotion. She turns over a card that says "death" and says she has to get to the church before it's too late. Gabi leaves Carmen a message telling her she should get to the church right away. Ricardo is thinking that both Gabi and Antonio have to pay. Gabi destroyed his love for her. Antonio is back. Gabi told him how she called his mother. Antonio hopes she gets here in time. Gabi asks Antonio if he has any ideas why the AB is doing this. Antonio says he doesn't, but Ricardo pipes up he does. Carmen is speeding along the road, trying to get to the church. The AB heads out to his car after stopping once to think about what Ricardo told him about Gabi and Antonio. He gets to his car and thinks about Antonio, Gabi, and Ricardo again. The AB takes a briefcase out of the trunk of his car, starts to head back to the church, but turns back to his car like he forgot something. Meanwhile, speedy Gonzales is speeding along the road and hits the AB sending him flying on the roof of her car.

London:
Apparently Tobias decided he's going to California since Gregory wanted him to be the executrix of Trey's estate. Both Annie and Olivia try and talk him out of it since he'd be leaving his work behind. Tobias doesn't seem to mind. Annie invites him to live with her, but Olivia says she doesn't have a home. He can stay with her home, which was Gregory's. Tobias says he was looking over the will and it says Trey gets the house when he turns 21, and since he's not 21 and since Tobias is the executrix, it appears the house belongs to him. Tobias, Annie, Olivia, and Cole are trying to take their seats on the plane back to Cal. Cole offers him his seat, but Olivia told him to sit next to her. Rose brought Trey on board and Tobias gets to meet his nephew. Well, actually he realizes he's not really his Great uncle, but Olivia says he is in every way. Annie thinks someone is going to barf. Two men come on board and wish to speak to Annie and Cole. They tell them they're under arrest and going to jail together.

Meg's Shop:
When the show ended yesterday, Ben was kissing Meg and telling her he made a mistake in his decision. Maria had walked in but I'm not sure she saw them kissing or realized what was going on. By the time I saw them on today's show, Maria was trying to make Meg feel better about Ben's decision to be with her instead of Meg. She told Meg she knows how it hurts but thinks they have to get on with their lives, since now they know where everyone stands. Ben told Maria it's time to go.

Vanessa's Place:
Vanessa is home, much to Michael's dismay. He tries to have Casey hide a laptop behind his back and asks Vanessa what she's doing home. She decided to work at home today. Vanessa can see they're trying to hide something and wants to know what's behind Casey's back. She says it looks a lot like her laptop. Sure enough it is. Casey decides on that note he'll leave. Michael is so apologetic saying he thought he was giving Vanessa a nice surprise by putting a screen saver on her laptop. He didn't realize it would wipe out all her files. Michael told her he'll cook, wash her car, and lots of other things for the rest of their lives. Vanessa has a smile on her face and told him he didn't wipe out any files because she has a lock on her computer so files can't be wiped out. She also has them saved on disks. Michael was afraid she'd never talk to him again. Vanessa says she did that once and won't do it again. The camera shows us the screen saver which is a picture of Michael and Vanessa.

The Beach:
Casey is on lifeguard duty, picking up cones off the beach. He notices Meg walking along the beach and calls to her. Casey mentions what happened with Vanessa's computer and Meg figures she'll be real mad at Michael. Casey figures they'll work things out because they have a good relationship now. Speaking of relationships, Casey asks Meg if she'd ever go back with Ben. Meg says she'd get a door slammed in her face if she did. Casey reminds Meg that Vanessa and Michael never stopped loving each other when they were apart. He says some people just can't be kept apart. Meg says it's true meaning Ben and Maria can't be kept apart. Meg says she has to get back to the shop.

The Shop:
Meg is in the shop, thinking about Ben telling her he made a terrible mistake. The phone rings. It's Ben. He told her Maria is getting Benjy and ice-cream and he's at his office at The Deep. He called to apologize for putting Meg in an awkward position. He tries to talk about what happened before Maria got there, but Meg says nothing happened. The kiss was nothing because they're nothing. She hangs up on him.

Plane Back to Sunset Beach:
Two immigration officers come on board and tell Annie and Cole they're under arrest and going to jail together. Olivia wants to know what the charges are. They say Cole is a jewel thief and Annie stole a passport. Olivia says Cole is a respectable law abiding person. The officers say if Cole doesn't come, they'll take him in handcuffs. Cole says it's ok. He'll go. Olivia will get him the best lawyers. One officer takes off with Cole. Olivia wants to know why they're not arresting Annie. The other man told Annie to come along. Annie says they should arrest Olivia because her sons doesn't have a passport, but Olivia holds one up and says he does have one. She told Annie to enjoy her stay in the tower. Annie yells back to Tobias and told him not to listen to Olivia because she's crazy. Now that it's just Olivia and Tobias, Olivia told him she wants to help him manage Trey's inheritance. She says he can see how Annie tries to trick people. Tobias says he has to think about it. Olivia wants Tobias to know that Annie would steal every last penny of Gregory's money and figures Tobias wouldn't want to be responsible. All of a sudden, Olivia thinks about Caitlin and figures she's going to blame her for Cole's arrest. Tobias doesn't think Caitlin would accuse her but Olivia says there's so much he doesn't know. Tobias told her to tell him so maybe he can help. Olivia explains how Caitlin resents the fact she won't let her raise Trey. She says Caitlin thinks Trey is hers and not Olivia's. Olivia figures with Cole being arrested, she'll think Olivia did it to keep him and Caitlin away from Trey. Tobias says it's not true and he'll make sure Caitlin knows it. Olivia says that's so sweet of him. Meanwhile, Annie told the officer she only borrowed the passport and had to get in the country because she needed to get back her husband's money so she can leave it to a worthy cause. If she can't get back in the country, she won't be able to finish her work. Annie told him he should send her back to the states so she can finish her work for the good people. I guess he fell for it because Annie announces, she's back and sorry for the delay. Annie looks at her ticket and says she has one, but it's in coach. Annie doesn't do coach. Annie told Olivia to have Rose sit in coach and give her that seat. No go. Tobias stops a stewardess and asks her if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him. No, but it's reserved for first class. Annie figures she'll just have to go back to coach. She heads that way, but stops to talk to the stewardess and wants to know if there's anyway she can sit with her aging mom and dad. The stewardess decides it's ok for her to use that seat. Annie takes the seat and told Tobias and Olivia she's back again. Annie told Tobias, now they'll have plenty of time to talk about why she should be the executrix. Olivia told him not to listen to her since she should be the executrice.

Caitlin's Home:
Caitlin is going over the list of reason to declare a mother unfit and says none of them apply to her mother. The doorbell rings. It's Jude with some papers for Olivia to sign. Caitlin says she's not here but she'll be sure she gets them. Jude is going to go, but Caitlin needs to talk to him. She wants to know how well he knows AJ. Jude says he's none him most of his life and he's like a father figure. Oh, so you're close. Jude says he is and isn't her mother close to AJ. If Caitlin is worried he'll tell Jude about her top ten list of ways to declare her mother unfit, she doesn't have to worry because he won't say anything. Caitlin says the list was for a project she was doing. Jude wants to know why she wanted to see him. Caitlin says she just wanted to get to know him but realizes he doesn't believe her. Jude told her that her family business is none of his business so she doesn't have to worry. Caitlin says she appreciates Jude not telling AJ about her list because he might get the wrong idea like Jude did. Jude wants to forget they ever had the conversation. Jude told Cole he's a lucky person to have Caitlin for his wife. He takes off. Caitlin gets a call from Cole. Cole told her he's being detained because of some charges from his past. Caitlin wants to head right to London. Cole told her not to bother because he'll be home real soon. He says he loves her and Caitlin tries to say she loves him too, but the phone disconnects. Caitlin figures this is her mother's fault.

Amy says she has her to talk to instead. Sean says Amy has been so great through all this but Amy says she hasn't. She told Sean how Emily came to see her and Amy tried to tell her how she felt.
