Jack: So, what do you got
there?
Outpourings of love
from an adoring fan?
Erica: No, actually, this is
from Jennifer Livingston,
Sarah's mother.
Jack: You're kidding.
How's Sarah?
Erica: She's much better,
actually.
Her mother intends to take
her on Easter holiday
to the south of France.
Jack: Lucky Sarah.
Erica: Except that Bianca was
planning to visit Sarah over
Easter vacation.
Jack: Ah.
Well, Bianca's going to be
disappointed, isn't she?
Erica: Things happen
for a reason.
Jack: I see.
I thought you were ok about
those two and their friendship.
Erica: I think that Sarah's
a very nice girl.
Bianca's way too young to get --
Jack: Too young to what?
To fall in love?
She turned 17 last month, Erica.
Erica: Thank you.
Bianca has to apply to college
next year.
She really should be focusing,
you know, on her schoolwork.
She's got to keep her grades up.
Don't do that, Jack.
Don't look at me that way.
I promise you I would be just
as concerned if Bianca was
overly involved with a boy.
Jack: Oh, now, that is rich
coming from you.
I quote your earliest
autobiography, "Raising Kane."
You were nothing short
of boy-crazy when you were
17 years old.
Ahem.
I love this part.
"My budding sexuality was
in reality a fiery inferno
fueled by the lusty attention
of nightclub owner Nick Davis."
That's so hot.
Erica: Oh, yeah.
Thanks so much.
Thanks so much for making
so much fun of me.
You knew what page --
Jack: I would never do that.
Too fond of you.
Erica: Yeah, well, nice save.
Jack: Thank you.
Erica: How was Seattle?
Jack: Cold.
Barbara sends her warmest
regards, however, as does
Chrissie.
Erica: No, no, no.
I mean with Travis' attorneys.
Jack: Went well.
His will is out of probate now,
and I must say, with all
the provisions he left Bianca,
she could one day be a very
wealthy young woman.
Erica: Yeah, Travis set up
a trust fund for Bianca right
after she was born.
He really wanted her to have
the freedom to do whatever she
wanted to do.
Jack: Yeah, well, you know,
she's smart, and she's sensible.
When it comes time for
her to run her own finances,
I'm sure she'll --
Erica: Jack.
Jack, with all this business
about Bianca's inheritance --
it's really important that this
be kept confidential.
Jack: Of course.
It goes without saying.
Erica: Promise me.
Jack: Promise you --
Erica, you know that I am
nothing if not discreet.
What are you so afraid of?
Erica: Jack, a woman
with money -- I mean, she can
attract all sorts of trouble.
Ok?
And I certainly don't want
to see my daughter become any
more vulnerable than
she already is.
[Doorbell rings]
Laura: Bianca, hi.
Sorry, I was working out
to my mom's videos.
Bianca: "Sweating
to the Oldies"?
Laura: Yeah.
Come in.
Bianca: Sure.
Laura: Did I space out
or something?
Were we supposed to have
breakfast?
Bianca: No, no.
I just -- I just wanted to drop
by and see if you were doing ok.
Laura: Yeah, I'm fine.
Why wouldn't I be?
Bianca: Last night?
Your party, the frat pack,
the police?
Laura: I know.
We were playing
the music too loud.
Bianca: Leo was still here
when I left.
Laura: Oh, great.
He told you?
Bianca: Told me what?
Laura: Bianca, don't play
innocent.
I know you guys tell each other
everything.
Bianca: No, really, I --
look, I haven't seen him since
last night.
Why?
What happened?
Laura: Nothing.
Only I made a total fool
of myself.
I tried to get Leo in bed.
Ryan: Well, you certainly
took your time getting here.
If I knew you were going to take
this long, I would have done
this myself.
Leo: I was sleeping.
You woke me up.
Why couldn't we do this
at the yacht?
Ryan: Because I had an early
meeting here this morning
and this can't involve Gillian.
Leo: Involve Gillian how?
What's that?
Ryan: Check it out.
Open it up.
Leo: Holy buckets, man!
Ryan: I know, I know.
Keep it down.
Leo: Where did you get all
the dead presidents?
Ryan: I'll fill you in later.
This is what I wanted
you to come here for.
You've got to go to the bank
for me and open a new account
and put this in.
Leo: What's the deal, Ryan?
Did you win the lottery or what?
Ryan: I'll tell you later.
Put it away.
Here comes Gillian.
Gillian: Hi.
Hi.
Shannon: I have an
appointment with Erica's
PR person -- Brenda somebody.
Do my eyes look ok?
Mindy: Hmm.
You need more shadow
on your right eye.
Heather: Yeah.
Shannon: I meant my pupils,
Dorkas.
Do they look normal?
Heather: Totally.
Mindy: Shannon,
it's so unlike you to be nervous
Heather: Are you still coming
down?
Shannon: No, I took another
hit.
I had an encounter with Bianca
yesterday.
It really stressed me out.
Mindy: Did she come
on to you?
Shannon: Hello, Mindy.
Is anyone home?
She told me that if I don't
clean up my act, I could lose
my modeling gig.
Can you imagine the nerve?
Heather: Do you think
she meant it?
Shannon: Whatever.
Like she could do any damage.
I'm the sizzle in the
Miss Young Enchantment campaign.
No one is going to rock
my world.
Dixie's voice: Ok,
maybe there's something that
you can't guard against.
David.
You cause my death, and he's
going to come after
you with everything that
he's got.
He loves me.
Leslie: Oh, Honey,
if you want to take that
pleasant thought to your grave,
be my guest.
Dixie: You can't fool him,
Leslie.
He knows what kind of person
you are.
Leslie: Once you're gone,
David will cut his losses.
He knows I have all the evidence
I need to destroy him.
[Door opens]
Jake: Dixie?
Dixie: Has there been any
improvements?
Jake: No. No.
What are you doing here?
Dixie: I thought that perhaps
if she woke up, she might be
able to give me some answers.
Jake: Oh.
Find out who's telling
the truth -- Tad or David?
Dixie: You must really
hate me.
How's Tad?
Jake: I don't know.
He didn't come home last night.
He didn't even call.
Dixie: Well, he can take care
of himself.
Jake: Yeah, Dix.
Thanks to you, he has to.
Dixie: Jake --
if you see Tad, can you tell him
that --
Jake: Tell him what, Dixie?
What do you want me to say?
Dixie: Nothing.
Dimitri: Hayward knows
your sister is alive.
All right.
What are we going to do to keep
his mouth shut?
Alex: I didn't tell you this,
but when David came across Anna
at Wildwind, he and I --
we struck up a kind of devil's
agreement.
Dimitri: Wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
You struck up a kind
of devil's --
Jake: Alex.
Alex: Hello.
Jake: It's great to have
you back.
Alex: Thanks.
Hi.
Joe: Alex, Alex.
Welcome back.
Alex: Thank you.
Joe: I could hardly believe
it was you when I heard
your voice on the telephone.
We've been so worried about you.
Alex: Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you,
running off from Ryan's party
like that.
Joe: I understand you were
coming to see me about
something.
Something about David Hayward?
Alex: Oh.
Dimitri: Go ahead, Alex.
Tell Joe about Hayward.
Alex: It was nothing, really.
Dimitri: Nothing?
Alex, tell Joe the truth.
Alex: Well, the truth is that
I had come to the conclusion,
you know, that I really couldn't
work with David Hayward anymore.
And I was going to ask
you to help me remove him
as co-director of the Andrassy
Foundation.
Joe: And that's what you were
coming to talk to me about?
Alex: Yeah. Yeah.
It wasn't earth-shattering
at all.
Joe: Still, you felt strongly
enough about it to come seek
me out.
Alex: Yeah.
I had been under a lot
of stress, you know,
and I needed to get away
and figure some things out.
Basically, I was in a mess.
Jake: But you're better now?
Alex: Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I got things in
perspective.
And I'm confident I'm fine.
Joe: Well, I'm thrilled
to have you back.
I will speak with Dr. Hayward.
Alex: No.
Don't do that.
Joe: You just said you wanted
Hayward removed from
the foundation.
Alex: Well, that was before
I realized that he wasn't
the problem.
I was.
Joe: And you're ready
to resume a working relationship
with him?
Alex: Oh, yes.
I am looking forward to it.
Jake: Alex, did you happen
to drink the punch at Ryan's
party?
Alex: What?
No.
Joe: You do know that people
were drugged that night?
Alex: Libidozone.
Yes, I heard.
Joe: Tad believes that David
spiked the punch to further
his own agenda.
Jake: You know, he was trying
to trash Tad so he could get
Dixie for himself.
Joe: So, what do you think?
Do you believe he's capable
of such a thing?
Alex: Oh --
I mean, we all know that David
has done some things in the past
that bordered on the unethical,
but --
oh, I don't think he would risk
his license in such a way.
Jake: Not even to win Dixie's
love?
Alex: David doing something
out of love?
That's not in his nature, is it?
Joe: Well, thanks
for the input.
When can we expect you back
at work full-time on staff?
Alex: I'm going to take care
of some things here
at the foundation first.
Joe: Ok.
Whenever you're ready to resume
your practice, you just say
the word.
Alex: I will.
Joe: Again, good to have
you back.
Alex: Oh, it's good to be
back.
Jake: Alex, glad you're
feeling better.
Alex: Thank you.
Dimitri: See you, guys.
Joe: Bye-bye.
Jake: Take care, Dimitri.
Dimitri: You want to tell me
what that was all about?
David: Are you upset, Dixie?
Is it because of Leslie?
Dixie: I can't talk about it.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
David: If you're worried
about Leslie hearing what
we say --
Dixie: What?
You're kidding, right?
David: No, not at all.
Dixie: You think that's what I'm concerned about?
She's in a coma.
My son is so disgusted with me,
he won't talk to me, and Tad
is --
David: What about Tad?
Dixie: Is missing.
Jake said he didn't come home
last night.
David: Well, maybe, like you,
he just needed some time alone.
I said that I would give
you the space that you need.
Dixie: What are you doing
here, then?
David: This is where I work.
Look, Dixie, I know how hard
this must be for you.
Dixie: I don't think you do.
David: You can't eat.
You can't sleep.
You can't remember what life was
like before everything changed.
Dixie: I almost envy her,
you know.
David: Don't say that.
Don't even think it,
not for a minute.
If you need something to hold
on to, Dixie, you remember that
I love you.
And if you believe that we can't
survive this and you're saying
that there's no hope,
then I will walk away.
If that's what you really want.
Dixie: That's not what
I want.
David: Good.
Because I don't know how I could
ever walk away from you, Dixie.
Dixie: I feel like
I'm drowning, David.
David: No.
You're doing the best that
you can.
You always do.
David: Don't give up on me,
Dixie.
Dixie: I won't.
Laura: So we're talking total
and utter humiliation.
Bianca: Laura, I'm sure it
wasn't that bad.
Laura: And then what's worse
is that I come gliding down
the stairs in this little
peek-a-boo nightie, and I let
my robe fall open.
I'm -- I was practically dancing
in Leo's lap.
Bianca: How did he react?
Laura: He went for cover.
And then my mom walked
in unexpectedly, so Leo hid.
Bianca: And there you were
in your sexy nightie.
Laura: Yeah, obviously not
watching TV.
Mom was really cool, but Leo
overheard things he was never
supposed to hear, so
he took off.
Bianca: Jeez.
Poor Leo.
Laura: Yeah, well, it wasn't
the best night of my life,
either.
Bianca: I don't understand,
Laura.
I thought that you were signing
off Leo.
Laura: I was.
Bianca: Then why were
you coming on to him?
Laura: I was having
an out-of-body experience.
Nate brought some X,
and we decided to party.
Bianca: I didn't see you take
anything.
Laura: Well, I did it when
I was giving Nate the grand
tour.
Bianca: So the drugs made
you do something that
you normally wouldn't have.
Laura: And you don't approve?
Bianca: It's not my business.
Laura: Look, you know,
I'm not Shannon.
I don't grind up pills and pour
them over my breakfast cereal.
Bianca: Laura, I don't care
about Shannon, but you're
my friend.
I mean, just imagine what might
have happened if Leo
and I hadn't shown up.
Laura: Yeah, well, Leo is
the reason that I did Ecstasy.
Bianca: Why?
Laura: Because I thought
if I wasn't me for a while,
Leo would like me, I wouldn't
feel like such a geek.
Bianca: Laura, you are not
a geek.
I wish that you could see
yourself the way I do.
Laura: Yeah, I could say
the same about you.
I guess that's why we're
friends.
Bianca: Because we're
so in tune with each other?
Laura: No, because we're both
such geeks.
Jack: You know, Erica,
Bianca is going to attract
attention whether she's wealthy
or not.
Erica: Because she's gay?
Jack: No.
Because she's smart,
she's witty, she's beautiful,
just like her mother.
Erica: Jack, please don't try
to deflect with flattery, ok?
Jack: Heaven forbid.
Erica: I mean it.
Bianca's trying to carve out
her own niche, and it's already
as her mother.
I mean she already come under
this merciless scrutiny
by the tabloids.
Jack: And I'd say she handles
the spotlight very well,
wouldn't you?
Erica: You know very well
that Bianca hates the spotlight.
And why should she even have
to handle it?
Jack, if a shark like Donald
Steele gets a hold of the fact
that Bianca's going to come
into this inheritance, I mean,
poor Bianca -- she's just going
to be fodder for the tabloids,
all of the media, for the rest
of her life.
Jack: You make a good point.
You do.
But I do think you're worrying
needlessly because I think
my niece can handle anything
that life throws at her.
[Intercom buzzer]
Erica: Excuse me.
Jack: Sure.
Erica: Yes, Val?
Yes, yes, send them in.
Jack: I'll wait for Bianca
out in the reception area.
Erica: Oh, Jack, please stay.
I'd really like your input.
Woman: Push my 3:00 Back
to 4:00, My 4:00 Back to 5:00,
And cancel my 5:00.
But if my aroma therapist calls,
tell him the lavender's not
working.
My sinuses are backed up
from here to Cincinnati.
Ta-ta.
Erica: Hi.
Woman: Oh, Erica, darling.
Oh, you look fabu!
Erica: Thank you.
Woman: Oh, Jackson .
You still single?
Jack: Just waiting
for you to say yes, Brenda.
Shannon, how the heck are you?
Shannon: Hi, Mr. Montgomery.
Erica: Sit, sit, please.
Brenda, you know that my teens
against addiction fundraiser is
coming up.
Brenda: Oh, yes.
I've got scads of ideas to promo
the event.
Erica: So do I, so do I.
You know how invested I am
in this.
And as chairwoman, I really
would like to raise the public's
awareness of this event.
And I want to cause
a cross-generational buzz.
Brenda: Are we talking press
conference?
Erica: We're talking media
blitz.
I want to just flood the market
with all sorts of PSA's
At our target market,
which is kids.
Brenda: Oh, that's brilliant.
Kids will connect with
you because you fought the drug
war on the frontlines.
Erica: Oh, well, thank you.
Thank you, Brenda.
And the thing is I just don't
plan to really focus on me
during this campaign.
Jack: Stop the presses.
Erica: Jack.
No, I honestly think that kids
will relate better to kids,
you know, their own age.
Jack: That's right.
Never trust anybody over 30.
Shannon: Were you part
of the 1960s, Mr. Montgomery?
Jack: Well, you know what
they say -- if you can remember
the 1960s, you weren't really
there.
But for the record, I did not
inhale.
Erica: Jack, we were just
discussing teens against
addiction.
Jack: And a fine cause it is.
Carry on, please.
Erica: Shannon, how would
you like to lend your celebrity
status as Miss Young Enchantment
to this very worthy cause?
Shannon: Seriously?
Ms. Kane, I would love to be
a spokes fighter in the war
against drugs.
Laura: Hi.
Do I look pale and weak?
Bianca: Pale?
Why?
Are you sick?
Laura: No, I'm just looking
for an excuse to get out
of my meeting with Leo.
I can't face him.
Bianca: Because you offered
to be his sex slave?
Laura: Exactly.
He knows I want him.
Bianca: And this is bad
because --
Laura: Because he doesn't
want me.
Bianca: Leo is not that
surface, Laura.
He really cares about you.
He's not going to try to take
advantage of you.
Laura: And you know this
because --
Bianca: He left before he did
the deed.
Laura: Yeah, because
he thinks I think he has
no substance.
Now, what am I going to do?
Am I going to fake amnesia?
Pretend like last night never
happened?
Bianca: You have to make this
meeting, Laura.
I mean, you asked Leo to hire
you for incredibledreams.com.
Laura: I know.
You're right.
This is not personal.
It's professional.
I can handle it.
Bianca: That's better.
Laura: Oh, Bianca,
will you please come with me?
I need you as a best friend
and a buffer.
Bianca: I'm sorry.
I can't.
I made a date to meet
my Uncle Jack at Enchantment.
But I will walk you to your car.
Come on.
Are you coming?
Laura: Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
I don't know, Bianca.
You think it's too late to get
my old job back?
You know, in China?
Gillian: Leo, this is
so unlike you.
What are you doing out and about
before noon?
Leo: Company business.
Ryan: Well, then why don't
you take care of business.
Leo: This is me leaving.
Gillian: Bye, Leo.
Ryan: How's my bride-to-be?
Gillian: Oh, just ravishing.
Ryan: Don't you mean
"ravished," as in starving?
Gillian: Oh, you mean I am
not ravishing?
Ryan: Well, that goes
without saying.
All right, what's this?
Gillian: It's just some
magazines.
There's a dress I want
to show you.
Ryan: It's yours.
Gillian: You haven't seen it.
Ryan: Well, it's bad luck
to see the gown before
the wedding.
Besides, I want you to have
the wedding of your dreams.
Gillian: Yeah, but it may be
just a little too much.
Ryan: Gillian, I've told
you about this.
Cash it's no problem.
It's in the bag.
Stan: Leo, my man.
Leo: Stan.
How's the money machine?
Stan: Well, that 100 large
you threw in t kitty is
working overtime.
Got any more spare change lying
around?
Leo: Do I look flushed
to you, Stan?
Stan: I only asked
because if you can cough up
more dinero, I can quadruple
your return.
Think about it.
Leo: I might be able to get
my hands on some extra cash.
Dimitri: Alex, you had
a chance to nail Hayward.
You saw him stock his flask
with Libidozone the night
of the party, and later you saw
him at the punch bowl.
Alex: I believe he drugged
those people.
Dimitri: Then why didn't
you tell Joe?
Alex: Because if I tell
anyone what I saw that night,
David is going to go
to the police and tell them who
we have hidden at Wildwind.
Dimitri: Anna.
Alex: Yes.
He's threatened to go
to the FBI
If he does that, we're all
in danger.
Dimitri: All right,
all right.
Then we will move her.
Alex: We can't do that.
She's not well enough.
I'm sorry, Darling.
It's David's silence in exchange
for ours.
David: You just keep your end
of the bargain.
And I'll keep mine.
Dimitri: Hayward.
You blackmailing son of a --
Alex: No, no, no.
Please, please --
leave us alone, can't you?
Dimitri: You're not serious.
Alex: No, I can handle this.
Dimitri: All right.
I'm going to go have a cup
of coffee across the street.
Then I'm going to come back
for my wife, all right?
David: So you told Dimitri
about our little bargain.
Alex: Yeah, I also told him
what I saw that night
at the party.
David: He'll keep quiet.
Alex: Oh, your secret's
safe -- for now.
David: Do I detect the hint
of a threat, Alex?
Alex: Me?
No.
But the truth will come out
eventually.
And when it does --
David: What?
Hmm?
I'll go to jail?
Lose my medical license?
Alex: No.
You might lose the one person
you really care about -- Dixie.
David: You continue to amaze
me, Alex.
You've been gone all this time
and yet you're up to speed
on my personal life.
Alex: Do you love Dixie?
David: Yes, I do.
Alex: What does love mean
to you, exactly?
David: It means that I want
to spend the rest of my life
making her happy.
Alex: Making her miserable
would be more accurate --
the way you did Siobhan
and Gillian and God knows who
else.
David: All right, all right.
Look, I don't want to cover that
ground again with you.
This is completely different.
Alex: No, it's exactly
the same.
You selfishly go after what
you want, and to hell
with anyone else.
You leave her alone.
She doesn't deserve you.
David: Well, maybe
I deserve her.
Did you ever think of that?
I mean, maybe she's
my salvation.
Alex: No one can save you.
David: Who the hell are
you to judge, Alex?
You were living a double life
and you didn't even know it.
At least I know who I am.
Alex: You're a user who
doesn't give a damn about anyone
else, and you will destroy Dixie
the way you did Siobhan.
David: That's not going
to happen.
Alex: You can't help
yourself.
If you really love her,
you'd walk away before
she becomes your next victim.
Mindy: Hi, Leo.
Leo: Hello, ladies.
Heather: Oh, God.
Stan: All right,
Leo, here's the deal.
You know that yacht you're
camping out on?
You're going to be able to buy
it when this deal is done
and still have money left over
to sail around the world twice.
Now, I'm serious.
Think about this, Leo -- docking
in exotic cities, staying
in five-star hotels.
I'm talking life first class all
the way.
Leo: One endless gold-plated
adventure.
I have to run this by Ryan
first.
Stan: So run.
Leo: He doesn't want Gillian
to know about the investment.
That's the thing.
Stan: Leo, I'd love to stick
around here, but I've got
a broker with itchy palms.
It's now or never.
Tick tock.
Leo: Go for it.
Stan: You won't be sorry.
Leo: I'd better not be.
Leo: Laura.
Laura: Morning, Leo.
Leo: Hey.
Laura: You want to see
the pictures?
Leo: Pictures?
Laura: Yeah, from Valentine's
Day, the incredibledreams.com
contest kickoff.
You wanted to see the proofs.
Leo: Oh oh, yeah.
Sure. Yeah.
Mm-hmm. Great.
Let's have a look.
Brenda: Shannon --
the girl next door.
Healthy, vibrant.
That's the image we want
to portray in the PSA's.
Erica: Oh, girls across
America aspire to be like
Shannon.
I mean, Shannon just has it all.
And she didn't get that way
because she, you know,
caved in to peer pressure
and then is using drugs.
Brenda: Shannon speaking
directly to the camera,
warning kids against the dangers
of drug abuse.
Erica: Shannon, are you not
comfortable with that concept?
Shannon: Well, it's kind
of lame.
I mean, I'd change the channel
if someone started in
with a whole huge lecture.
Erica: You're right.
Of course.
I mean, we have to be careful
to package this message in a way
that kids aren't going to tune
us out.
Shannon: We could do a music
video.
Me dancing like Briny would be
so cool.
Erica: Well, that's not
exactly the idea I had in mind.
Shannon: Briny
at Super Bowl halftime.
Zillions of fans screaming
and crying.
Whoo! Yeah!
Brenda: Shannon,
Dear, that's not exactly
the image we want to project.
Jack: No, no, not since
Briny got caught saying
the F word backstage, anyway.
Erica: No, Shannon, I think
that we need to continue
brainstorming.
Shannon: Whoo! Yes!
Come on, Mr. Montgomery.
Jack: No thanks.
Brenda: Shannon --
Bianca: What's going on?
Val: Erica wants
Miss Young Enchantment to be
reborn as a spokes model
for teens against addiction.
Brenda: Shannon,
dear, that's enough.
Bianca: Is this a private
party, or can anyone join in?
Erica: Bianca, you're just
in time.
Bianca: For what?
Brenda: Erica, I'm going
to get rolling on this campaign.
Erica: Yes.
Brenda: Bianca, darling,
your mother is brilliant,
absolutely brilliant.
Jack: We'll pick out a china
pattern next week, Brenda.
Bianca: What campaign is
she talking about, Mom?
Erica: Oh, we're just about to launch a whole bunch
of PSA's For teens against
addiction.
We're going to feature Shannon.
Won't she be perfect?
Bianca: Mom, can I --
can I talk to you for a minute
in private?
Erica: Of course,
Honey, but right now we're
in the middle of a strategy
session.
Bianca: It's important.
Shannon: Ms. Kane, why don't
I tell Bianca about
the campaign.
Shannon: Bianca, are you going to rat me
out to your mom?
Bianca: Shannon, what do
you expect?
Oh, my God.
You're high right now.
In my mother's office,
talking about teens against
addiction?
Shannon: Bianca,
listen to me.
This is everything I've ever
wanted.
Maybe this sounds stupid to you,
but ever since I was a little
girl, I've had this one dream,
ok?
I wanted to be someone special,
one of the beautiful people like
your mom, who I've idolized,
like, forever.
Does that make any sense?
Bianca: Yeah, it does.
Shannon: Bianca, please don't
blow this for me.
I swear I'll never do drugs
again.
I swear I'll never gang up
on you for being gay.
Just please, please,
please don't tell your mom.
Laura: Check out 6B.
Leo: Hmm. Mm-hmm.
Laura: It'd be great
for the print ad.
Ryan: I want you to be clear
on this, ok?
You can customize this wedding
to fit your wildest imagination.
The sky is the limit.
Gillian: Are you sure?
Ryan: As sure as April 8 is
our wedding day, yes.
Gillian: I'll be right back.
Leo: Should we talk about
what happened last night --
or didn't happen?
Laura: I was a jerk,
that's what happened.
And it's just fine with me
if we don't talk about it at all
and we keep our relationship
strictly professional.
Ryan: So, how's the campaign
coming along?
Is Miss English a keeper?
Alex: Ok, see you later.
Bye.
That was Bart.
Anna's having a restful morning.
Dimitri: I'm glad to hear
that.
Alex: Sorry I asked
you to leave earlier.
Dimitri: Oh, it was a good
call.
Otherwise, I would have ripped
Hayward's head off.
Alex: David has us where
he wants us -- temporarily.
But we shouldn't antagonize him.
Dimitri: Alex,
he's blackmailing us.
Alex: I know, I know.
Dimitri: And he's using
Dixie.
Alex: It sickens me to think
that she might choose him
over Tad.
Dimitri: She wouldn't
if she knew what we knew.
Alex: I'm not going
to endanger my sister just
to solve Dixie's problems.
I can't do that.
I'm sorry.
David: What the hell are
you holding on for, Leslie?
Do you think you're going
to bury me?
You don't stand a chance.
And even if you do wake up
and your brains aren't
scramble nobody's going
to believe you.
You completely destroyed
your credibility in this town.
So why don't you do yourself
a favor and just let go.
Death can be very peaceful.
Pam: Excuse me.
David: Who are you?
Pam: I'm Leslie's sister,
Pam.
Who are you?
David: I'm David Hayward.
I'm Leslie's doctor.
Shannon: Bianca, I am begging
you, please do not blow this
for me.
Bianca: Shannon, you are high
right now.
Why should I help you?
Erica: Girls?
What's going on?
Bianca, do you and Shannon have
a problem?
Leo: du Pres.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hold on.
Give me a second, you guys.
Ryan: Wow.
You do good work.
I hope you stay around.
Laura: Thanks.
Why wouldn't I?
Ryan: Well, you know,
you and Leo have been out a few
times.
Laura: So?
Ryan: Things didn't really
work out.
Laura: No.
Ryan: Laura you know,
you're still hung up
on him --
Laura: Who are you,
Dear Aggie?
Ryan: If you think that
you can keep things strictly
business, I don't think you're
as smart as I thought you were,
Laura.
Leo: Sorry for the
interruption.
Laura: Yeah.
So am I.
Look, Leo, it's getting a little
crowded here.
Do you mind if we move this
meeting to the yacht?
Leo: Sure.
Ryan: See you later.
Leo: Yeah.
Ryan: Whoops.
Dimitri: And what about
Dixie?
Don't we have an obligation
to her?
Alex: The choice has been
made.
Please.
Dimitri: Alex.
Alex, do you know that --
that I was going to disappear,
I was going to leave town
without you knowing that I was
alive?
Dixie wouldn't let that happen.
She fought like a tiger to get
us back together.
She knew that anything that
stood between us was wrong.
That's what she did for us,
and I'm not going to give up
on Dixie because of that.
Dixie: Alex?
Oh, my God.
Joe just told me.
Thank God.
Oh, thank God.
Pam: How is my sister,
Dr. Hayward?
Has she made any progress?
David: Well, I'm afraid not.
Her EEG shows very little
electrical activity.
Pam: You mean she's
brain-dead?
David: Well, her chances
for survival are very slim.
I mean, the damage is
so extensive, even if she did
wake up --
Pam: She wouldn't be Leslie
anymore.
David: I know how hard this
must be for you.
Are there any other family
members?
Pam: Our parents passed away
some time ago.
I'll look after my sister now.
I've spoken to Leslie's
attorney, and she left a living
will asking that no
extraordinary measures be taken
to keep her alive in the event
that --
she would have hated this.
David: I realize that this is
a very, very difficult decision,
but there really isn't any
dignity in a situation like
this, Pam.
So all you can do is respect
your sister's wishes and do
the humane thing --
remove her from life support
and set her free.
ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Shannon: You blow this,
and you'll pay for it.
Bianca: Are you threatening
me?
Shannon: You don't even know
what I could do to you.
Dimitri: Alex, don't
you think we should tell Dixie
what we know?
