At BJs Wade holds up a pen and tells Greenlee: "That little piece of paper is legal and binding, and there is no backing out."
At Erica's house a disbelieving Bianca says: "You actually expect me to miss school for a party?" Erica breezily says: "That's the only time I can get the Valley Inn."
Gillian tells Ryan [yawn]: "If anything happens to you --" Ryan: "It won't!" Gillian: "I might as well be dead!"
At Erica's house, Becca says to Leo: "Want to learn how to swing dance with me?" Leo: "I do. You know why? Because we're so good at this." They kiss.
SOS
The swing dance at SOS [that was only announced the day before] is in full, uh, swing, with patrons dressed for the part including 40s hairdos, military uniforms, suspenders, saddle shoes and hats. It's still the same day as when Becca wanted the dress Myrtle had brought over. Becca is wearing a blindingly red dress with tiny little straps that, in the 40s, would have had her branded on the spot as a trampy harlot or a torch-singer. The only other person coming anywhere near that trampy is a woman wearing a tubetop who probably would have been VERY popular with the soldiers. Becca has a large red flower tucked in her right ear [I'd say it was BEHIND her right ear, but it really looks like it's stuck IN her ear and Lord knows there's room enough for a long stem in that vicinity]. Hayley has the top front of her hair rolled tightly in a 40s fashion. She's wearing a semi-low-cut white tank top, a yellow sweater draped over her shoulders and a glittery multi-colored skirt [that reminds me of a linoleum kitchen floor we had when I was a kid] and matching glittery earrings. She seems to have finally given in to pressure from somewhere and now appears to be wearing a padded bra. Mateo badgers her to forget about Adam and Arlene for tonight. Lots of lovey-dovey talk and kissing and hugging.
Leo and Becca are trying to dance, but Leo keeps blowing it, nearly knocking her to the floor. A dorky looking guy (whom we later find out is named Greg) is intently flirting with Tiffany. Leo apologizes and says maybe they should quit, but Becca insists they keep trying.
Erica, wearing a little black sheath, walks in (apparently there's no cover charge or anyone watching the door) desperately looking around the crowd. She spots Bianca, waves and calls to her as she practically runs across the floor with her arms outspread [and she thought MONA did things to embarrass HER]. Bianca, dressed in her light blue hooded (but sleeveless) top and black pants, is sitting with Tiffany and Greg. Erica is so glad she found her! She tries to drag her out of there because they have SOOO much to do for the party. Bianca says she's there to cheer Becca and Leo on and they are counting on her. Erica, of course, can't focus on anything else in life but the upcoming party and has found a way to have the party sooner. Bianca continues to balk, and Erica tells her that she needs to meet her half-way since SHE's the one who wants to get back to her father sooner [i.e., this is all Bianca's fault, Erica's just along for the ride]. Bianca tells Tiffany to pass the word that she'll be right back, then, with her eyes squinting in annoyance, leaves with Erica. Becca comments to Leo that Bianca looks upset and that it must be hard to have a famous mother like Erica. Leo says that's better than having a psycho mother. Becca tells Leo she has faith in him and he is NOTHING like his mother.
VALLEY INN DINING ROOM
Greenlee is dining with Grampy, who shakes a couple of pills out of a bottle. Greenlee is immediately concerned that he is sick. He says he's as fit as ever, but his ticker isn't what it used to be. He's more concerned about HER heart. She says Ryan put her in charge of the company while he's out of town. He asks if that's LOVE, though. She says it WILL be. She reaches over to put a hand on his shoulder and you can see very impressive muscle definition on her upper arms [I now re-assert that she can probably benchpress a car.] He signs the dinner check and off-handedly asks if she knows a man named Wade Randall. Seems Wade called his office earlier saying it was Greenlee's idea. Woody didn't talk to him though -- his unsavory reputation precedes him -- he had SOME GALL trying to use Woody's own granddaughter to try and get to him! Greenlee gives him a megawatt smile as they part, which disappears the moment his back is turned. There is an odd sort of bench/couch thing in the middle of the lobby. It looks an upside-down blue-grayish giant upholstered mushroom. Greenlee calls Wade and order him to come to the Valley Inn NOW -- they have a few things to straighten out!
WILDWIND
On the ugly green couch, Gillan and Alex are going over pictures of wedding dresses when Edmund bounces into the room. [And I do mean BOUNCES -- he has a very buoyant quality when he's portraying happy] Edmund chooses one that he thinks is pretty and is resoundingly shot down by Alex who thinks the sleeves are too puffy. He dramatically rips the photo into pieces [it appears to be an actual photo, not a magazine image -- very nice, Edmund, I'm sure whoever actually owns the photo will be pleased], saying he won't be laughed at (joking) and leaves the room to reschedule his D.C. appointments as Alex protests that he didn't have to stay with her after the airport incident. Alex notices that Gillian is sadly distracted and pries out of her that she is worried about Ryan (not Jake) getting into a very dangerous situation. Alex assures her that it's natural to still care for someone you once loved deeply. Gillian stares glumly back at her. Alex is wearing a prison matron ensemble of a navy blue blouse and black straight skirt.
RYAN'S LOFT
Ryan and Adrian are packing and going through a checklist of what to bring to Chechnya. Adrian informs Ryan that he's going to have all the ammo and arms delivered directly to the plane. [Yeah, RIGHT! What kind of international airport do they fly out of that lets them do THAT? "I'm sorry, sir, you'll have to check that bazooka because it won't fit under the seat. The AK-47's WILL fit in the overhead compartment, however." (yes, I know it's a "private" plane) Adrian tells him he can bail and it would actually be a wise thing to do. Ryan is determined to go, though. Opal shows up with very elegant, champagne-colored hair (with medium bows in the back) and wearing a pastel puce [I think], light purple, yellow and beige blouse and matching pants. She's wearing 2 necklaces, one of large (well, MEDIUM for HER) beige balls and the other of copper large balls separated by copper tubes, and matching earrings. She's also wearing a ring with large copper ball on it [I bet she has to take THAT off whenever she goes to the bathroom!] She notes that they appear to be packing for Armageddon. She demands that he tell her what's going on an she can tell if he's fibbin'. Since he had promised before that he would tell her if he was going to do something dangerous beforehand, he tells her this is as risky as it gets. Ryan tactfully excuses himself and leaves the room. Adrian tells Opal they are going to rescue Jake. Opal, with a shaky voice, grasps at alternatives, but he tells her he HAS to do this. Opal starts to break down, but recovers and gamely says she's proud of him. He tells her not to tell anyone about it since they aren't doing it by the book. She acts brave and he tells her they will be in and out in less than a week [pretty damn sure of himself, isn't he?]. She hugs him and he says to give Petey a kiss for him. She nods, but looks like she's going to heave. As soon as she gets to the hallway, she breaks down in heaving [I told you] sobs. Tina walks up to the door and is about to knock when she notices Opal heaving. Tina starts to cry too and hugs her. Adrian opens his door, sees the two women hugging and heaving and crying and hugs the both of them. He then ushers them somewhere to the left.
WILDWIND
Alex, in her usual lifeless style, tells Gillian she loves Edmund with all her heart, but she still thinks about Dimitri every day [well, which is it, ALL your heart or just most of it?] Gillian says she has all these feelings for Ryan and she can't just ignore them. Alex tells her she can't just order her feelings to disappear because if you try to suppress them, they will overwhelm you. Gillian abruptly says she has to leave and thanks her for her help before rushing (the wrong way) out of the room. Alex gives a "there goes trouble" grimace before re-donning her reading glasses to look at more dresses.
The doorbells chime and Edmund bops down the stairs to answer. It's Erica and Bianca. Edmund is thrilled to see Bianca again and she feels likewise. Erica asks if they can hold Bianca's welcome home gala in the Wildwind ballroom. He ebulliently agrees, but says as a matter of courtesy they should ask the new mistress of Wildwind. Erica: "What?" He tactlessly tells her that, as the former chatelaine of Wildwind, maybe she can give her decorating tips. Erica runs to keep up with him, asking if he's saying he's engaged. As she enters the living room, Edmund has his arm around Alex, who is carefully holding a bridal magazine in front of her protruding belly. Erica is [but not for long] speechless!
VALLEY INN DINING ROOM
[Actually, I originally typed the above as "Valley Inn Dinging Room". Considering how often people bump into each other there, that might work, too.] Greenlee is sipping red wine and looking over her shoulder for Wade, who finally walks in. He bends to kiss her cheek and she leans so far to the side to get away from it that she's nearly perpendicular. He backs off, but compliments the color of her dress ("What is that, black?") She says he got there fast and he says he was upstairs with his friend, who was modeling exquisite lingerie for him, and he wants to get back to the show. Greenlee looks disgusted. He says she can't need more money -- unless her friend Ryan has dipped back into the corporate funds again. She is shocked that he knows about why she needed the money. He ignores the question and wants to know what she wants -- he has a scantily clad woman waiting upstairs for him. She asks about the call to Woody's office. Wade has a "so what?" attitude and she tells him he CANNOT do that -- they have to leave her grandfather OUT of it. He says he forgets that she's so young, and he has to remind her about certain facts of business. She agreed to certain obligations and it's time to make good on that agreement. Is that clear? She gulps and stares at him.
Throughout the conversations between Wade and Greenlee, they are both constantly aware of passing waiters and other patrons, lowering their voices or halting at inopportune moments.
WILDWIND
As the shot opens, the camera is close in on a be-ringed hand that appears to be feeling up Bianca. As the camera pans back, Bianca admires Alex's ring which still looks like it's hovering over Bianca's ample bosom. Edmund stands back and grins idiotically at them while Erica glares at him. Alex says she's wanted to meet Bianca for a long time and Dimitri always said he thought they would be friends -- she'd love to host her party. Erica waves her hand back and forth and pipes in that Alex would have nothing to do with it [E-brain: "You will not come within 500 yards of the party OR my daughter!]. Edmund speculatively watches them politely do a Chip and Dale impersonation as if he's watching a tennis match. Alex: "It wouldn't be any trouble at all!" [A-brain: "You're on MY turf now, bitch!"] Alex turns to Bianca again and says Dimitri told her that Bianca is quite the equestrian. Erica: "YES, that's WHY he bequeathed MAXIMILLIAN to her." [E-brain: "You remember -- you rode the horse to death just so Bianca couldn't have him -- and don't think I don't KNOW what else you did with that magnificent horse!" Alex: "Yes, thank you for bringing that up." [A-brain: "I know what you're doing and I'm going to take the high road and make you look like a jealous, petty bitch, not that we don't already know that about you."]
Alex turns to Bianca and sincerely apologizes for what happened to Maximillian. Bianca says she understands and knows it was an accident. Alex tells her they have a lot of wonderful horses and Bianca can come over and ride any time she wants to. Bianca thinks that would be awesome. Alex offers to take her down to the stables right now to see Scorpio, who is very young, just a baby, really and quite willful, but he jumps like a dream. Erica interrupts asking if he's the horse that's barely broken. Bianca and Alex give amused looks of conspiracy and Edmund bites his lip trying not to grin as he gives the same look to Alex. Bianca tells Erica that once a horse is trained, it's "broke", not "broken". [Horsey snobs!] Erica tactfully says: "I see," and tells them not to be long because Erica promised to get her back to SOS for that dance contest. Alex and Bianca leave the room as Erica watches with a scowl and Edmund watches with a grin. With a miffed toss of her head, she turns to Edmund, who says he hopes Bianca takes up Alex invitation to ride whenever she feels like it. Erica says Bianca's schedule is very full. Edmund twists the knife a little deeper saying that Alex has the ability to charm absolutely ANYONE and he thinks they (Alex and Bianca) are going to be buddies. Erica, looking kind of like Dixie, says Bianca won't be around PV long enough to fall under Alex's "spell" [she looks like the word tastes like castor oil]. Edmund asks what's wrong. She says: "Oh Edmund [you poor, poor, deluded FOOL], you are making a TERRIBLE mistake."
SOS
The joint is jumping as Adrian and Tina walk in. He thanks her for helping him get Opal home and she promises to look in on her while he's gone. She goes to find Mateo and hopes he won't mind her taking the night off [at the last second as a dance contest is about start]. Leo admits to Becca that he's actually having fun and they rejoice in their first totally normal date and the fact that there's no Scott and no Greenlee in sight. He says that a year ago he would have thought any kind of "normal" would be horrifically boring, but this is just a different kind of normal with no drama or games, just her [right the first time, Bucko]. She gazes adoringly at him.
Adrian and Tina meet up again and start to leave, but Gillian bursts in and stops them, saying she has to talk about Ryan. Adrian gives her a judgmental, contemptuous look and says Ryan is going because of HER. She wants Adrian to stop him. He says Ryan made his choice and he can't stop him [he says it like the only reason he's NOT stopping Ryan is to punish Gillian]. She wants to know when they are leaving and Adrian says she has to ask Ryan as he and Tina rush out like they think Gillian has pole-vaulting crabs. Gillian runs her hand through her hair and rushes to the Ladies Room.
Tiffany skips (literally) over to Becca at the bar and says it looked like she and Leo were burning up the dance floor, even when they were standing still. Scott, in the meantime, enters the club and walks over behind Becca [so much for their normal date]. He asks if she has a minute and she turns to him and freezes.
VALLEY INN DINING ROOM
Greenlee doesn't see why her grandfather has anything to do with their deal. Wade says she signed a binding contract. She counters that SHE'S the one paying back the $3M, there's no need to involve Grampy and there's no mention of her grandfather in their little contract. Wade says they are in business now and all she has to do is set up a meeting between him and her grandfather. Everyone will make a little money -- what's so bad about that? She says she's not going to help him pull some scam that could hurt her grandfather. Wade chillingly says he doesn't want ANYONE to get hurt -- what happens to her grandfather is up to HER. Greenlee [in a tiny voice]: "Me?" Wade coldly states the facts for her: her friend, Ryan Lavery, embezzled $3M from his company, and she borrowed money from a THUG to cover up the crime, which makes her an accessory to fraud and a cocktail of other charges. Wade: "I just wonder what that's going to do to your grandfather and his poor heart when he learns that the apple of his eye is a bit rotten at the core." Greenlee: "Are you BLACKMAILING me?" He says he just wants to avoid her grandfather experiencing the kind of shock and stress that could cause him to have, oh, say a heart attack. Greenlee realizes (out loud) that he's threatening her grandfather's life. Wade gives her a "No, REALLY? What do YOU think?" look.
After the commercial, Wade says he's a businessman, not a killer -- this is about MONEY. The bottom line. It's nothing personal. Meeker now, Greenlee says he SUGGESTED it (killing her grandfather). Wade restates that all he said is that he doesn't want anyone to get hurt and that whatever happens to her grandfather is up to HER. She leans across the table and hisses that he's a HORRIBLE MAN! He says he's an entrepreneur and suggests she do the same and not make things so complicated. She's just a go-between. Woody will make money, Wade will make money, and she'll have herself a nice little finder's fee that will go toward the interest on her loan. She says she does NOT want a finders fee -- she just wants her grandfather left alone. She CANNOT do this to him! She WON'T! Wade barks: "YES you WILL!" He very obviously looks around to see if anyone is listening and tells her she had better make the appointment by the end of the week. He then leaves to resume watching his private lingerie show, but turns back and says to make it TOMORROW. A round of golf at Woody's club, just the 3 of them. She DOES play, doesn't she? He really does leave and she sits looking worried, then gets up and strides determinedly out of the room.
SOS
Scott (with slicked-back hair and pointy sideburns) apologizes to Becca. She backs away from him (and keeps looking around to see if Leo has spotted them) and says maybe they can talk later. Scott says he's waited too long already; he wanted desperately to make her love him and it was wrong and he's ashamed of himself [as well he SHOULD be]! She doesn't understand how he could do something like that to someone he SAYS he loves. He keeps apologizing and she rightly points out that that doesn't change anything; she still gets pointed at and has to endure the cybervirgin jokes for God know HOW long! She says she feels like she doesn't know him at ALL. He begs her forgiveness and wants to take another shot at it. She says she appreciates his apologizing when he could have just blown it off. Scott: "So you forgive me?" She says SHE'S sorry, but there is no US anymore. Leo finally DOES spot them and walks up, referring to Scott as "Boy Blunder" and telling him that it's a swing dance and no threesomes are allowed. Becca and Leo are fourth up and they go to check out the competition [there IS no competition where these 2 are concerned. Although they will probably win, it won't be because of their dancing]. Scott stares dejectedly into space. Tiffany walks up and asks if he's okay, then bends down and gives him a motherly hug.
Gillian walks up to Hayley and Mateo and desperately asks if they've seen Ryan. Mateo says no and rushes off with a microphone to start the dance contest. Hayley tells her she's just going to have to chill out and wait. Gillian says she CAN'T wait. Hayley informs her that what you want and the way things turn out don't always go hand in hand -- in the program they call it acceptance. She puts her hand on Gillian's shoulder in a "buck-up" fashion and walks away. Gillian says she'll accept a lot of things, but NOT losing Ryan! She storms out
Haley rushes up to Mateo and grabs the microphone, and welcomes all the swingers to the SOS Swing Explosion, urging them to bring on their lindies, balboas and shags. Mateo, holding his clipboard, inexplicably starts vigorously jogging in place. He takes the mic and introduces the first 2 contestants, Tiffany and Greg. Tiffany is bubbly and jumpy and glowingly taking bows. Greg just looks a little sheepish as Mateo tells everyone that he works at the post office and they had better be nice to him if they know what he means. Tiffany basks in the applause as they start, with her standing in the center and Greg moving back behind something. A cavalry charge sounds and Tiffany prances around the room in a horse-like fashion, then bends and shimmies her breasts as a song that I'm guessing is called "Giddy-Up, Ding Dong" plays. Greg bounds up behind and leapfrogs her bent form, starting a VERY good dance number. Becca and Leo watch from the side -- Leo is enjoying it and Becca sees that there is no way they are going to be able to compete with THAT.
TINA'S BEDROOM
Tina and Adrian walk into her bedroom and she is awed by all the flowers in the room, wondering if HE did that [no the flower fairy stopped by]. Considering the state of the rest of her place, the bedroom is remarkably pristine [apparently the cleaning fairy ALSO stopped by]. He manages to mumble out something about her leaving her flowers at the Community Center and deserving to have flowers of her own. Matthew St. Patrick keeps flubbing his lines big time. Adrian: "Besides, I want you to .... uh ...." (at this point he COMPLETELY forgets his line, looking off to our left for a clue). Sara Hugh (Tina) looks down, shakes her head like she can't BELIEVE he's flubbing AGAIN, and picks up what should have been HIS line by saying: "I'll be thinking of you." Adrian, nodding (and relieved): "YEAH!" He doesn't want her forgetting about him while he's gone. She says there's no chance of that. He promises he'll be back before the flowers are wilted. He looks at her then looks at what could be the bed or for more clues off stage, then bends to kiss her, looking around again first. He makes to leave but she says there will be no good-byes just yet an pulls him over to the bed. I notice that she has the same cranked-open blinds covered by extremely sheer curtains that Hayley and Mateo have, making it very easy for anyone to see into their room, if only silhouettes, ESPECIALLY if they leave the light on (which they do). Amazingly enough, there are NO candles.
WILDWIND
[NOTE: Throughout this scene Erica is her usual insufferable I'm-only-telling- you-this-because-I-CARE self and Edmund is insufferably smug and condescending toward Erica. I'm not saying she doesn't DESERVE to be ridiculed for her childish behavior, but Edmund's posturing just pissed me off]
Erica starts to tell Edmund that he's like family to her. As she says this, she lowers herself to the couch, but jumps up as she sits on the magazines and photos of wedding stuff, scattering many of them to the floor. She disgustedly pushes them to the side as she makes another stab at sitting on the ugly green couch. He says he knows how she feels about Alex. Erica says it's not about HER, it's about HIM and his IRRATIONAL LEAP into MARRIAGE! She gestures dramatically to the wedding paraphernalia. Edmund smugly sits back and condescendingly says: "Is THAT how you see it?" Erica says that Alex manipulated Dimitri into marrying her and now he's dead. She's settling in quite nicely at Wildwind but that's not enough. She wants more and she's using Edmund to get it. Edmund says he loves Alex. She looks at him pityingly again and tells him that he's vulnerable and can't see the truth. Edmund sits even FURTHER back, rubbing his face and says: "But YOU can?" Erica says Alex has been nothing but trouble for "all of us" and her past is like a gothic novel [and Erica's ISN'T?] Edmund is concerned with the FUTURE with Alex. Erica says Alex can be charming and Edmund is susceptible, but the truth is that Alex is DESTRUCTIVE! Edmund finally sheds his smug attitude [not completely, but quite a bit], leans forward and tells her he appreciates her concern and it takes GUTS to warn him away from the first woman he's loved since Maria [altogether now: "What about That Kit Fisher Person?"] Next time he'll run his choices of happiness past Erica and she can tell him if they are deserving. Erica says he can be sarcastic if he wants, but Alex has left a wake of destruction [she's got him on THAT one] and she doesn't want Edmund to be the next victim. Her head whips around a the sound of Alex and Bianca approaching.
Bianca is gushing about how beautiful Scorpio is and that Alex had said that there might be a hunt coming up. Bianca says not to worry, she'll be with Alex -- she's even done the Steeplechase! Alex grins at Erica. [I'm trying to imagine a super-pregnant Alex doing jumps and realize that this is an excellent opportunity for "Alex" to be injured and stay in bed.] Can Bianca ride tomorrow? Erica says that she's sorry, but Bianca's schedule is going to be SO FULL -- so full in fact that she doesn't see how Bianca will have time to do any riding at ALL! Erica whirls back to Edmund as Bianca looks pissed off. Erica elaborately tries to back out of having the party at Wildwind, saying she had no idea they were planning their own nuptials. She knows that their wedding will probably be "simple and small" [Alex being too dull and plebeian to actually have any friends and being incapable of putting on a big production] and it would be too much of an imposition. Alex grins some more at Edmund, who is back to being condescendingly smug. He says it's no imposition at all. Erica: "Well, thank you, Edmund. That's so kind of you. But don't worry. I mean, I'll find another place. Come on, sweetheart, let's go. Bye!" She yanks Bianca out of there so fast that the furniture spins in her wake. Edmund stares with an even MORE condescendingly smug grin at the slamming door. Alex asks what just happened and he says it was just Erica being Erica. They laugh. He asks if she'll be okay if he goes to D.C. and she assures him that she will be. They hug and kiss [I notice that John Callahan is hunching quite a bit to accommodate her belly and I wonder how long it will be before we start to see her inside-out belly-button outlined against her clothes].
SOS
Another nameless couple is dancing well (but not as well as Tiffany and Greg). The next couple, Mike (wearing a 40s hat) and Marsha start a good number to "In the Mood". Leo and Becca walk over to a table and he comments on how great Mike is doing and that they are dead meat -- is it too late to back out of the contest? Becca says dancing is all about PASSION! She takes his hands and says she has complete faith in Leo -- it's just her and Leo -- no one else matters. Scott watches them and, presumably, overhears Becca say that, despite the fact that he's about 10 feet away and "In the Mood" is blaring over the speakers and the crowd is laughing and cheering. They kiss each other's hands and Scott gets mad and stomps away, running into Greenlee on his way out. A giant piece of tinsel is stuck from the wall to Greenlee's arm. She breathlessly asks if he's seen Leo. He puts up a NOT-NOW hand, yells "Yeah" and points his thumb over his shoulder. Mike and Marsha continue to wow the crowd.
TINA'S BEDROOM
Tina and Adrian snuggle in the afterglow [STILL no candles!], but then Adrian looks at his watch and tries to tell her he has to go. She puts her hand over his mouth to keep him from flubbing any more lines and says she has something for him. She's still wearing her bra because, as you know, it's against the law for soap couples to be completely naked, even for sex [and probably for showers] and they DO have lingerie product placements to comply with. She puts something in his hand as he protests that he doesn't want to take anything from her. She says it's the most precious things she owns and it's brought her terrific luck. It's a penny. She found it on the sidewalk outside of SOS and it's brought her her job, friends, a home and Adrian. He says she's all the magic he needs to come back -- he's never had anyone he wanted to come back to [altogether now: "What about Belinda?"], not like this. They kiss some more and start breathing heavily.
RYAN'S LOFT
Ryan is moving a box somewhere when Gillian knocks on the door. He answers and they stare at each other.
TINA'S BEDROOM
Tina, now wearing an M.I.T. tshirt tells Adrian not to say it -- he can tell her good-bye when he gets back. Adrian finishes getting dressed [presumably this is post-boink #2]. He says that's when he'll return her lucky penny and leaves. Tina looks heavenward.
RYAN'S LOFT
Gillian walks slowly and calmly into the room as Ryan asks her what she's doing there -- they've already said their good-byes. She clearly and calmly says she won't say good-bye -- she's coming with him. He's taken aback and gapes at her.
SOS
Mateo announces the next couple, Becca and Leo. Becca works at both The Wave AND the Glamorama and Leo, uh, he, uh -- he's taking some time off! Leo looks embarrassed and Becca looks excited. They get up on the dance floor and Greenlee practically tackles Leo saying it's a matter of life or death! She won't tell him why right there, but she needs him NOW! She tries to cover her fear by grinning maniacally. Becca tries to tug him out to the dance floor as Greenlee pleads with him and says he's the only one who can help her and she wouldn't ask if it weren't REALLY important -- more maniacal grinning. Mateo again announces their names for the dance. Greenlee won't let go of his arm and says he has to come with her -- she needs him!
WILDWIND
Alex and Edmund kiss good-bye and he leaves for the airport to go to D.C. [Why do I suddenly have the feeling he'll be on that plane to Chechnya?] Alex shuts the door, laughing. She goes back into the living room and Stella enters bearing a prescription bottle the gardener found on the grounds. Alex re-dons her reading glasses [I know how she feels] and sees that it's the same medication that David gives his Prion patient [no name?] She wonders what it's doing THERE.
On the next AMC:
At the loft, Adrian tells Ryan (apparently ignoring Gillian): "I've already talked to the pilot. He's waiting for us at the airstrip."
Greenlee drunkenly sits on the bar and yells to a suddenly quiet SOS: "Join me in a toast from the big loser to the lucky couple." Leo and Becca stare at her.
Alex [sitting in a chair and looking about 3' wide] tells David: "Dixie said the medication was Dimitri's." Dixie stares at nothing, a vision in tortured guilt.
Irreverently submitted,
