Annie and Mrs. Moreau:
In south central at Mr. Moreau's Apt. Annie knocks at the door getting a look
from Mrs. Moreau that just says Get Way. Mrs. Moreau asks her what she wants
and Annie told her that she need her help. Mrs. Moreau attempts to close the
door. Annie stops her and told her that she know that in their neck of the
woods the like money and in hers the like money to, while flashing the $100
bills in her face. Mrs. Moreau lets her in and Annie told her that the money
is from Amy. Mrs. Moreau took it and was trying to chase Annie away. Annie
strongly convinces her that her help is needed desperately and she is willing
to pay money. Mrs. Moreau told her that she is evil and that she had an evil
costumer for sunset beach before and that person is now crazy (I suppose she
was speaking of Virginia). She asks Annie if she wanted to be that way and
Annie told her that the person she is dealing with is the evil one, meaning
Olivia. Mrs. Moreau told her that she could use the money and they shook
hands on the deal. She then asked Annie what did she have in mind and told
her that she does not deal with stuff that kill. Along with that she asked
what this person had done. Annie told her that she took away her family and
now trying to take away her house, letting it be known to Mrs. Moreau that
the big house was hers. She also told her that she didn't want Olivia to die
but, she wanted her to suffer. Annie thought of Caitlin and Sean coming in
her room in screaming "Mom" and seeing her in bed at different times with
Hank, Brad, and Rose. Mrs. Moreau told her that she had just the
thing.
Meg, Sara, and Tim:
At their new store, Meg and Sarah were talking. Meg was telling Sarah about
how Ben was acting and telling her that he is leaving town. This puzzled her.
Sarah suggested that maybe he was just trying to get away from the whole
situation. Meg told Sarah that he told her that she will never fall in love
with someone else. This made Sarah's' bottom lip drop open. Just then
entering the doors Casey came in. They all looked at each other and then Meg
went in the back. Casey looked around and realized that they had rearranged.
He asked what happened and Sarah told him that he really would not want to
know because he would not approve. Casey thought that it was Jude, she told
him that they were just friends. He added that Meg and him are just friend
and she was totally jealous. She asked him if he was jealous and said that it
was different she found it out for herself. Casey asked if she went out with
him and she said just that night and that they were not together anymore
anyway: meaning Casey and herself. Meg was in the back when her dad came in
and told her that the back door was open, he told he that she got to be
careful because its not Kansas. She asked him if he was there to help out and
he told her that he came because of Ben.
Maria, Derek, and Carmen:
At Carmen's' house she was trying to persuade Derek not to take Maria away
because something bad will happen. Then Ben (Derek) told her that she had
nothing to worry about. Carmen grabbed Ben by the arms and stepped back
repeating "You're not Ben ," filled with shock. Maria came out trying to find
out what was going on when her Mom drop to the ground. Maria yelled at Ben to
call 911 and he didn't budge. After about 10 min. he called the ambulance
just as Tess walked in, looking at him as though she was saying what the hell
happened here.
Jude, Caitlin, and Cole:
At the Richard's corporation Caitlin was talking to Cole. He told her that he
was calling to say good bye, because someone was watching him and trying to
set him up. He told her that he was going under ground for a while and to
tell his dad that he loves him. Caitlin was crying loudly on the other end
trying to reason with him. He hung up on her because he knew that she would
put down on her end. Jude asked her what he said and Caitlin told him and
Jude said that he was going to call for help and Caitlin stopped him because
Cole said not to.
Maria and Ben:
At south Bay general Hospital, Tess was trying to find out from Ben (Derek)
what she said to him and Ben told her. Maria and Tyus came out and Tyus said
that she was going to be OK. Maria asked Ben why he did not move in the house
and he told her that he was in shock. Tyus told Maria that her Mom was asking
for her and Maria asked Ben to come in with her. Leaving Ben with a big smile
on his face.
Sean, Olivia, and Amy:
Amy was wonder what she was going to do if Annie did not get through. Olivia
came in and told her that it was time to go. Amy told her that she was not
going anywhere. Olivia could not believe her British ears, so she grabbed her
by the arm and told her that she has a plane to catch. Sean walked in and
asked his Mom what was going on. Olivia told him that with all the trouble
Amy has cause she decided to get out of town. Amy said that she didn't know
what Olivia was talking about and Sean told her that Amy is not leaving and
if she went he goes. He told Amy that he had a few phone calls to make and
then he would take her for lunch. Olivia told her that she didn't tell
because he would hate her ever more for offering her money to leave. Reminds
me of what she did with Tiffany: ) Amy went upstairs.
Olivia and Caitlin:
Caitlin walked in the house mad as hell, saying to her mother "You did this
didn't you?!"
Amy and Sean:
Amy was in her room when Sean walked in and told her that the calls took
longer than he expected. He then told her that they are going to the shock
wave and she said that she would meet him there, she wanted to unpack.

Though Olivia insists she had nothing to do with Cole's latest troubles, Caitlin exhorts Tobias not to let her mother have a single penny of Trey's inheritance. Casey and Sara have another heart to heart chat but Meg's arrival throws the usual bucket of cold water on her sister's hopes. Later, Meg bumps into Tess at South Bay and wonders if Sara might not be right about the nanny's ulterior motives. Jude prevents Caitlin from turning Olivia in to the police.
