In the helicopter, Peter notices that Kelly is bothered by something. Is something wrong?, he asks. No of course not, says Kelly and gives him a kiss, but it is obvious that she's concerned about Joe down there... Police officers has to escort Joe off the bus, to prevent people from attacking him. Rose panics when she sees her daughter pulling out a gun from her purse, and runs towards her. Santana drops the gun and someone steps on it. That someone is Mason, and he's come to save Santana from making a mistake. Joe is reunited with his mother and sister, and they share a warm hug. They don't notice that the 'secret woman' is lurking around. "Oh no, he's back", she says with a harsh tone of voice. Joe wants to know where his father is, and Marisa tells him he couldn't make it because of his wounded leg. Yeah right, says Joe, disappointed.

Meanwhile, John pays C.C. a visit and says that he will do everything to cooperate. He's afraid that Joe will cause even more trouble for his family now that he's out from prison and he doesn't want to see that happen. It turns out that C.C. gave John a job when he was out of work, and now we are to believed that John has to repay the favor by getting rid of Joe.

Mason wants to know why Santana was carrying a gun - killing Joe is not the answer here. Santana cries that she couldn't have killed him even if she wanted to - she's just upset and confused. Mason offers a hug.

Grandma Minx gives Laken the third degree about 'the Capwell boy'. What's going on here, and for how long has she been seeing him?! The Capwells are off limits - in fact she doesn't even want that name mentioned in this house! Laken thinks that the family feud is just plain stupid, and there is no reason for them all not to get along. At this moment, Lakens mother Augusta makes an appearance, and it turns out that she's the 'secret woman' who was giving orders to assassins in the previous episode. I can se no reason for why her head was concealed in the first place, but I guess it just was to create a more dramatic effect. Anyway, here she is, with her head firmly on the top of her shoulders and she wants to know where Laken has been all day. Laken doesn't offer an explanation though, and just exits the room. Later, Ted sneaks up to the Lockridge house, and starts climbing up the wall. Laken gets the surprise of her life when there is a knock on the window. Ted explains that he just couldn't stay away from her - he just had to come and see her. They are about to lean in for a kiss, when Augusta knocks on the door. Ted makes a quick escape and hides under Lakens bed, while Augusta and her Doberman, Breeze, lets themselves in. She tells her daughter that she needs some help with her manicure. After she leaves, Ted gets out from underneath the bed, and says that was a close call. Well, he has to get going now, so he starts climbing out the window again. Minx notices this from a window on the other side of the house, and says; "Well, it looks like the termites are getting bigger every year"...

Peter and Kelly is taken to a beautiful yacht at sea. There awaits a perfectly set table - complete with dinner and champagne - all courtesy of C.C. Capwell. Kelly remembers her childhood when the whole family used to get together on the boat and have dinner to celebrate mother's day... but that was way back when her mother was still alive. Peter says they will have many kids together after they get married, and then they will celebrate mother's day everyday. The lovebirds decides to go swimming before supper. After the swim, Peter is hot to trot and wants to make some good ole' luvvin! But Kellys mind is elsewhere, and she asks for a rain check. Peter wants to know what's wrong, but Kelly doesn't know herself (classic soap-queen line #32). She assures her beau that it has nothing to do with him though, she's just not in the mood. She wants to go out for another swim, and Peter follows...

Rose wants to know why Santana was carrying a gun. After some pointless babble, Santana finally explains that she was in love with Channing Capwell, and that they had a relationship. She breaks down in tears, and tells her mother that she gave birth to a son, but C.C. made her give him up for adoption. Santana gives us the scoop on the baby: she was working for the Capwells in their Acapulco-spa when she gave birth. She only got to see the boy once - but it was a real Kodak-moment. "Why have you been keeping this from your parents?", a shocked Rosa asks. Well, says Santana, I was so ashamed for having been intimate with a man without a ring on my finger - what would papa have said?

Joe is happy to be home, but it's obvious that papa John doesn't share his enthusiasm - he just walks right pass his son without saying a word. Later, John wants to know what Joe plans to do now that he's out of prison. He sure ain't gonna get a job in this town - not after all that's happened. Joe explains that he's determined to find the real killer and clear his name - he wants to know why he spent five years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. Joe gets the feeling that his father doesn't believe in his innocence, and he can't stay in the house with him if that is the case. Marisa fights to hold back her tears, as father and son square off in a battle... Johns starts fuming that things hasn't exactly been going great while Joe was in prison - his legal bills and attorney fees put them into debt for the rest of their lives - they even had to take out a second mortgage on the house! "You got out of prison in five years - we won't be out of debt in twenty! - that is if we live that long!". Papa John is getting all worked up, and Joe is stunned, but papa goes on yelling; "You were the one that was supposed to be so successful - you were the one who was going to marry a rich girl. You were supposed to be the one we could count on, but instead you sent us straight to hell!" Joe offers to leave the house, but suddenly his mother takes a stand; "NO! Joe is going nowhere! If anyone is leaving this house, it's you John Perkins - you get out of this house and out of our family!", she screams with tears running down her face. (This really gave me chills, I'll tell you...) Later, John has packed his bags and is ready to leave the house, since he's convinced that Marisa loves their son more then she loves him, and he can't take it anymore. Joe proclaims for the umpteenth time that he's an innocent man, but John has only one advice for his son - stay away from Kelly Capwell!

Santana is almost fully undressed, and about to pour herself a lovely bubblebath, when she realizes that Mason is still in the apartment - watching her every move. She quickly puts on a robe and goes out to confront him. "Oh, silly me, just forgot my keys", says Mason but Santana isn't buying it for one second and makes him leave. Later, mama Rosa stops by, and Santana admits that she misses her son more than ever. She is now determined to find him. Rosa tries to change her mind, but there's nothing stopping Santana; "He's my son - my flesh and blood. I have to make sure he's all right", she says firmly. She heads over to C.C.s to lurk around and try to find a clue to her sons whereabouts. She tries to get into Channings old room, but suddenly C.C. appears and explains that the door has been locked since the day of his sons murder, and he's not about to open it. He encourages her to move on with her life, and forget all about her son. Santana gets quite upset, and leaves with the words; "I WILL find him!" Later, C.C. picks up his phone and calls a women named Gina. "So how is our little Brandon doing? You know he has a birthday coming up, don't you?". It is obvious that C.C. has been in contact with his adopted grandchild for some time. Santana gets more bad news today - her lawyer-friend tells her that no charges was made against her for the gun-incident, so therefore Mason must have been lying all along. "I knew it!", snaps Santana and makes a point that revenge is sweet...

Peter and Kelly are about to dock the yacht, when they see Joe Perkins standing at the pier. Peter panics, and grabs Kelly back inside the boat. He wants to know exactly what she felt when she saw him - did it stir up some unresolved feelings perhaps? Don't be ridiculous, says Kelly and tells her fiance that she feels nothing for Joe. However, her eyes tell a different story...

Moments later, Joe is accompanied by C.C. and his bodyguards. C.C. orders him once again to stay away from Kelly and leave Santa Barbara, or else! Joe nixes that idea, and still proclaims that he's an innocent man - and one day he'll prove it to all of them. C.C. is less than interested in listening to Joe's *I'm innocent-speech* and threatens him with various ramifications if he doesn't take a hike immediately. The bodyguards gets a hold of him and throws him in the water...

After drying off, Joe goes to that beach-restaurant to have some supper. He is soon joined by Augusta and her evil dog, Breeze. Augusta pretends that she doesn't know who he is, but then she 'realizes' that he is that infamous murderer who was recently released from jail. She goes on to spew out some incriminating comments about his reputation, and finally Joe can't take it anymore. He gets up from the table and says that he's tired of all these accusations from people. "I'm an innocent man - and I will clear my name", he says, in case the show has a new viewer tuning in late. Augusta is mighty impressed with his little speech, and seems fascinated with the young man...

Since this is the year 1984, and e-mail is only a thing in the science-fiction movies, Ted and Danny amuse themselves by sending messages back and forth with a carrier pigeon. This pigeon is called Mr. T, and he's one darn good mailman. Laken is mighty impressed by this... Unfortunately, Augusta has forbidden Laken from dating 'that Capwell-boy', but that doesn't stop them from having secret rendez-vouz. Ted gives her a carrier pigeon of her own, and they make plans to meet at the beach the following day.

Something strange is going on at the Perkins house. A peculiar man breaks a window and throws in a firebomb. Marisa discovers the bomb way to late, and it goes off - causing a severe explosion and some damage to the house. At this very moment, Joe is entering the house, and causes a backdraft when he opens the door. He soon finds his mother unconscious on the floor, and carries her out to the porch for some fresh air. It looks like she's going to be all right under the circumstances. However, Joe is devastated when he realizes that the bomb must have been meant for him. Marisa assures him that it's not his fault.

Later, Joe is standing at his front porch, when a strange man with a disguised voice approaches him from behind. He orders Joe not to turn around and face him, but says they need to talk (Yeah right, like I ever would agree to that - that's just stupid - turn around Joe!). Joe agrees to this, and asks what he wants with him. The mystery-man says; "You don't know me, but we have a common interest - I can help you find Channing Jr:s killer - meet me at the abandoned warehouse at midnight sharp". When Joe turns around, the mystery-man is gone. Joe goes down to the agreed meeting-spot, and is once again approached by the man from behind. "I believe in your innocence, and I might be able to help you on the right track", he says before disappearing once again. Seems like a big waste of time for Joe to go all the way down to the warehouse just to hear him say those words - couldn't he just have said them at the porch? Well, Joe is intrigued none the less, and so am I...

Peter arrives at his apartment and is surprised to see that no one has been trying to break in. "Perkins must be behind this", he fumes and heads back to the boat. Indeed, at the boat Kelly is stunned to see Joe face to face. She realises that he tricked Peter to get her alone, and she's quite upset about this. "I had to see you", Joe says with a strong conviction in his voice, "I still love you - I never stopped, and I know you still have feelings for me too. Don't deny it Kelly". Not likely, Kelly snaps, with her upper lip shaking like a leaf, and explains that her feelings for Joe died the day he killed her brother. By now we all know what Joe's going to say; "I'm an innocent man, I'll tell you!", but Kelly refuse to even give him the time of day. "I saw you standing there, over his dead body, with a gun in your hand!". Joe assures her that Channing was already dead when he arrived at the scene. Sure, he had a fight with him moments before his death, but he didn't kill him. In fact, all this is Peter's fault, yells Joe. He was the one who told Channing about their planned eloping, and that was the topic of their argument. If Peter had just kept his mouth shut - Joe wouldn't have a motive to kill Channing. Kelly thinks Joe only has himself to blame, and she refuses to listen to anymore of his lame excuses. She assures him once again that she has no unresolved feelings for him, but Joe can tell by the look in her eyes that she's not being truthful... Moments later, Peter enters the boat and throws a fit when he finds his fiancee together with that lowlife Joe Perkins. He pulls out a gun and fires a tranquilizer-shot at him, but misses by an inch... He warns Joe to keep his filthy hands of Kelly, but Joe counter attacks and pushes him to the wall. Kelly gets hysterical and asks the two gentlemen to stop it right now, and Joe leaves the boat... Peter blames himself for leaving Kelly alone on the boat, and asks if she's all right. Sure, says Kelly, I'm just peachy, but I do have a couple of questions; "Did you tell Channing that me and Joe were about to elope?". Peter gets upset and starts to yell; "Why, two minutes with that bastard and you're already starting to act strange!". Later he apologizes, and Kelly forgives him. In fact she does more than just forgive him - she suggests they go to Las Vegas right away and become husband and wife! If you ask me, Kelly suggested this because she knows that Joe's presence in town will make her fall for him again eventually, and she's probably frightened by her own feelings... Pure speculation of course...

Joe arrives home and tells his mom about the encounter with Kelly. "She was so lovely mom... so beautiful". But mama Marisa wants her son to wake up and smell the coffee; "When are you going to realize that she doesn't love you anymore? She's engaged to another man!". Joe refuses to listen to this; She doesn't love him - she couldn't possibly be over me yet. I'm just that unforgettable, you see. Well anyway, Marisa has a note for him that was delivered to the house while he was away - it's from Dominic and he wants to meet with Joe at the warehouse again.

Down at the warehouse, Dominic tells Joe that he knows all bout his visit with Kelly tonight. Joe gets upset and pulls out a gun. He points it towards Dominic and says; "Ever since I got out of prison, I've been shot at, bombed at and threatened to death on more than one occasion. I'm getting pretty darn sick and tired about this!". Dominic warns him not to point a gun at the one person that believes in his innocence.

Ted, Danny, Laken and Jade continue to plan their trip to Hollywood. Only one problem - the parents have to be persuaded to let the kids go. Ted explains to C.C. why he wants to go to Hollywood, but C.C. doesn't seem to like the idea at first. Later he realizes that it might do Ted some good to stand on his own to feet, and eventually gives him permission to go. Laken doesn't have as much luck with Augusta. She tells her daughter that it's completely out of the question! Laken becomes disappointed, but Ted gets her in a better mood when I spends a romantic evening with her at the top of a mountain. They seal the date with a kiss... Danny realizes that Jade Perkins is one popular girl these days - why today she's about to go and grab a burger with that annoying lifeguard Warren Lockridge. "What a turkey", Danny says, referring to Warren. Later it appears as if someone has let the air out of Danny's tires. Danny is right up there on the list of suspects, and Warren fumes with anger; "Listen tuna-brain, you better NOT have anything to do with this!". But Danny counter attacks; "Don't mess with the Mexican mustang!" (That must be one of Danny's all time most embarrassing comment ever)

Mason doesn't like to be played for a fool, and tells Santana that he doesn't appreciate her spicy dinner. However, he gets distracted when he finds out that Santana is leaving for Acapulco tonight. She seems very secretive about this trip, and doesn't want anyone to know why she's going there. Later, Mason tells C.C. that Santana is going to Mexico, and C.C. knows exactly why! "I warned her not to try and find the baby", he fumes and goes to make a phone call. He calls up a doctor in Acapulco, and tells him that Santana is on her way - and he's under no circumstances to reveal the truth about the baby's adoption. The corrupt doctor assures C.C. that his lips are sealed. Meanwhile, Santana has boarded the plane, and has a vivid flashback to the day she gave birth to the baby. "Dear God, I have to find him", she thinks aloud (is there any other way to think?).

Of course, the man that showed up in the back seat of Joe's car, turned out to be Dominick. He explains that they have to start trusting each other if they are going to solve this murder-mystery together. Joe thinks that it would be a good start if he takes down his gun then, but Dominick says that he only wants to make sure that Joe doesn't turn around and blow his cover. He also suggests that Joe go over to the Capwell-house and takes a peak inside Channings old room. It has been locked ever since his death, Dominick says, and there might be a clue to the real killer there. Quite odd that Dominick would know this, huh? Well, the plot thickens I suppose...

Santana continues to bother Dr. Ramirez with questions about her baby, and she wants to know what happened to him. Sure, says the doc with a glee, but everything has a price. Luckily the truth is on sale today, and Santana is offered to get the whole scoop if she only agrees to give him some 'whoopee between the sheets' in return. Thanks, but no thanks, says Santana and starts to walk away. Ramirez is surprised that she's not willing to take him up on the offer, as he thought she were willing to do ANYTHING to get the truth. "I've heard enough to get the rest of the truth - and you will know exactly what I mean by that in a matter of minutes", she says and leaves the restaurant. Indeed, five minutes later, Ramirez receives a call from Santana. He hopes that she's changed her mind about his indecent proposal, but she just asks him to listen carefully. She then places a tape recorder next to the phone, and reveals that she was taping their entire conversation at the bar. Surely, the medical board would be just thrilled to hear about the good doc's bedside manner? Ramirez panics, and offers to tell the whole truth about her baby. Here's the scoop: C.C. Capwell came to the clinic and picked up the baby personally, right after the delivery. He drove off in a limousine with a mysterious lady in red. That's all I know, the doc promises. Santana hangs up the phone and fumes angrily that C.C. has known of her baby's whereabouts this whole time! That bastard! Grrrrr... well, he's not gonna get away with this! She calls him up at his house, and says she knows EVERYTHING about the baby. She's returning to Santa Barbara tonight, and expects to have a chat with him first thing in the morning! C.C. looks mighty worried...

As I reported in the last summary, Kelly was fuming mad at Joe and held him responsible for Peter's recent polo-accident. Well, today she's singing a different tune - Joe is completely innocent of any wrongdoing, and Peter only has himself to blame. "But Kelly, look at me - I'm laying here in pain just because I tried to rescue you from that murdering bastard", Peter says angrily. That's right, you only have yourself to blame honey, Kelly says to her hubby-to-be. She also adds that she doesn't want any charges held against Joe because of this, and Mason swears that he will treat the situation fair and square. Later, Kelly has a heart-to-heart with housekeeper Rosa, who also has been the only mother-figure in her life since her real mother died. (Rosa sure does deserve a raise if you ask me!). Kelly admits that Joe's return has stirred up some old feelings, but the wise woman tells her that marrying Peter is the right thing to do. "That's just it... sometimes I don't know what is the right or wrong thing to do", a troubled Kelly says. Later, she considers to read Joe's old loveletters, but ultimately decides against it, since she has to get ready for C.C.'s cocktail-party.

Shortly before the party is about to begin, C.C. enters the living room and compliments Kelly on the lovely dress that she's wearing. Surely, Robin Wright is a true beauty, but the dress she has on is quite strange-looking... it's very "puffed up" in the back-area, and makes her behind look HUGE. Maybe this was a cool trend in 1984, but it looks rather ridiculous these days... Anyway, Kelly appreciates her fathers compliment and goes to work on his tie. Speaking of nothing, how come you haven't remarried since mom died, dad? Well, says C.C., surely a lot of women have passed by my bedroom in the last couple of years (I'm just that charming), but none of them could compare to your mother, Sophia... she was my soulmate, and there's no one like her. How true, says Kelly - glad that she's still the only girl in her daddy's life...

Mason arrives to the party with his date for the evening - a hefty blond with a unique personality. "Oh, this place rocks! So where's the bar?", is her first comment as she enters the house. C.C. looks less than pleased and wants to know where he found this bimbo-golddigger. Mason snaps that he is fully capable of choosing his own dates without daddy's interference.

Ted and Danny are happy to see Jade in Hollywood - especially Danny who sees an opportunity to make a move on the women of his dreams... The boys offer to sleep in the living room, so that Jade can have the bedroom to herself. She is so thankful that she gives them permission to use the bathroom - even though they have to walk through 'her' bedroom to get there! What a lovely girl - the guys are ever so grateful! However, it turns out that being roommates with a girl, is harder then they had thought. All of a sudden there are a million 'absolutely necessary items' that has to be bought. Things like cotton-tips and cleaning supplies. Ted and Danny try very hard to bite their tongue, while Jade hands out the new apartment-rules: "Ted - you will do the dishes at Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Danny - you will do them at Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On Sundays you can alternate. Now, about the bathroom...." Later at night, Danny is 'sleepless in Hollywood' as he can only think about Jade. I wonder if she sleeps nude?, he says to a less then interested Ted. You know, some chicks do sleep nude, and Danny just bets that Jade is one of them. She's probably lying there in her bed right now, sleeping... nude... with a big smile on her face. "Why does she have a smile on her face?", Ted wants to know. "Because I just walked right into her dream", Danny replies.

As you might remember from yesterdays recap, C.C. and Santana were rudely interrupted by a man who proclaimed that one of C.C.'s oilrigs had exploded. What a disaster - just think about the environmental problems this could cause... and what about my good reputation?!, fumes C.C. There's only one thing they can do in a crisis like this - they have to get a hold of disaster-expert Cruz Castillo (Oh, please do!) - he's the only man that can help them now! C.C. holds a press conference, where he assures the citizens of Santa Barbara that he will do everything in his power to get the situation under control. Meanwhile, Minx Lockridge decides to use the situation to throw some dirt on the Capwell's in the media. She takes part in a tv-interview, and says: "I want everyone to know that the Capwell's have for generations personified greed. The rape the land - they destroy our natural recourses - all for the mighty dollar! The dollars with which they stuff their bank accounts, their wine cellar and their garage... My grandchildren - your grandchildren, all of them could be robbed of the beauty that is Santa Barbara - and all because of the vile, disgusting Capwell-greed!" C.C. watches the intervju on TV and fumes that he has to do something about that old hag!

For some unknown reason, Kelly is lurking around in the attic today - searching for her mother's wedding pictures. She flips when she finds thousands of pictures and newspaper articles about Joe's trial and Channing's death. Who the hell has saved all these?, she fumes at poor old Rosa. She learns that Mason ordered Rosa to save them all, and Kelly looks worried.... She wants to get rid of them because they only bring back those old Joe-flashbacks, and we can't have that! She confronts Mason about this, but he proclaims that the articles are going nowhere - this is a part of our family history, and it's to be archived for generations to come...

Since Santana didn't have much luck at getting any information from C.C., she decides to take matters into her own hands. She hires a private investigator to follow C.C. around. She wants to know what he does, where he goes and most importantly - who he sees! This is the only way for her to get to know the whereabouts of her son. Sure, says the P.I, and gladly accepts her check. Later, he picks up a phone and calls C.C.... of course he's on his payroll as well as everyone else in town. C.C. orders him to go along with Santana's orders, but to send her on a wild goose chase...

Augusta has a proposition for Joe today - she wants to offer him a job at her house! Why? Oh, because she feels so sympathetic to him now that everyone believes he's a killer, so she just wants to do a good deed. This is quite a surprise, since she sent goon's to kill him in episode one... Anyway, now he's supposed to be her personal all-purpose-handyman, and there are plenty of things that needs to be done around the house: She need new bookshelves for her books... the tap in the kitchen is dripping... the lawn needs to be mowed... the pool needs to be cleaned... and she's also in need of a personal gym-instructor! Indeed, Joe will be very busy for years to come... "Well, I really am in the need of a good job", says Joe with a concerned look on his face. "Oh good, because so am I", says the elusive Augusta while fondling his chest...

Warren doesn't like this one bit, and fumes with anger when he learn what his mother has done. Augusta rolls her eyes and says it's none of his business. He's just as grumpy as his father. "Good, because I happen to like my father", snaps Warren.

But hold on - didn't Joe promise us yesterday that he was going to break into the Capwell-house today? Indeed he did, and today he gets another reminder from his mystery-friend Dominick - who has delivered an envelope with the keys to Channing's room. So how on earth did Dominick get a hold of the keys? Maybe we'll never know... Anyway, late at night, Joe heads for the Capwell-mansion and breaks in through an opened window. Meanwhile, Kelly is upstairs in her room sleeping. She awakens by a late night booty-call from her fiance. Peter is 'in the mood' and wants her to come over to his room, but Kelly says she's tired and needs to get back to sleep. She does this, and shortly thereafter she has a steamy dream about Joe... they are dancing at a fancy ballroom - all dressed up. They share a passionate kiss, but then they are rudely interrupted by Evil-Peter, who demands that Joe takes his filthy hands of his girl! Joe proclaims that he's going to marry Kelly, but Peter disagrees and throws a punch in his face. At this point, Kelly awakens from her nightmare with a terrified look in her eyes. Oh no - two men love me - what to do...? At this point, Joe is upstairs, and puts the key in Channing's door. But OH NO! - the alarm goes off! Horrors!

Joe panics when he realize that he accidentally set of the alarm and runs in to a wardrobe to take cover. The butler with the British accent, Philip, is awaken by the alarm and tries to calm down Kelly. "Don't worry Ms. Kelly - the police are on their way and if there is an intruder in the house - he won't get away!" C.C. is still at the office, trying to solve his crisis with the burning oilrigs, but drops everything when he learns what has happened at the house. Kelly calls Peter and tells him what happened and he too rush over to the house. Finally, when everyone has gone downstairs, Joe manages to escape through the open window where he got inside in the first place. The police are sure that the intruder, whoever he was, was hiding in the closet since there are stains from grass and footprints there. They also find the open window and concludes that he got in there. Kelly shivers as she realize that the intruder was right outside her bedroom, but Peter assures her that he'll protect her. Peter can't help but to wonder if the intruder was Joe Perkins - his guts tells him that he's the one. But Kelly dismiss his accusations, saying that there's no proof that Joe's involved in this. Anyway, why would Joe break into there house?, she asks. To get into your bedroom, Peter fumes with anger. Oh well, it's all behind them now, and Peter want to join Kelly in her bedroom. He's got that lovin' feeling, and he assures his fiancee that he will make her forget all about what happened... but Kelly is tired and wants to get back to sleep. See ya tomorrow Peter. Good night now. Hmmm, guess Kelly just wasn't in the mood right? Wrong - cause as soon as she's alone in her bedroom, she starts to have a steamy fantasy about Joe... I think this was the hottest one so far. Here's what happened: In Kelly's fantasy, she and Joe are standing in her bedroom in their underwear. Joe tells her that he's been cleared of all charges, and he's ready to love her like he did before... Then he carries her to the bed and they start to make love. When Kelly snaps out of her fantasy, she tells herself that she HAS TO get rid of these Joe-flashbacks somehow...

The morning after, Kelly goes for a jog with her good friend Toni (played by Days of Our Lives-actress Renee Jones - the one that was treating Peter after his polo-accident). Toni notice right away that Kelly's mind is elsewhere, and she suspects that it has something to do which Joe... Kelly gets quite upset and assures her friend that Joe is part of her past - while Peter is her future. Oh, you just keep telling yourself that dear, says Toni. (I like Toni!)

Later, Peter stops by and Kelly has a proposition - Why don't we move to New York, Peter! You know I've always wanted to move there! No I didn't know that, says Peter, surprised at this sudden urge to relocate. Why is it that you thought of this all of a sudden? Could it have something to do with Joe Perkins perhaps? Are you afraid of Joe Perkins - or are you afraid of your FEELINGS for Joe Perkins?!, Peter fumes with anger. Neither, says Kelly (but it's obvious that she's lying). She just likes the restaurants in New York, Broadway and Central Park - it has nothing to do with Joe. Well, it's out of the question, says Peter firmly. He just got a new job that he loves, and they are staying in Santa Barbara! By the way - I've noticed that Peter has been having these outbursts every now and again. One minute he's all over Kelly and tells her how much he loves her, and the other he's yelling like a maniac and is all upset. I smell trouble...

Joe goes job hunting today. Obviously he's not that keen on being Augusta's new love-slave, so he tries to get another job. He goes down to a mechanic-shop and tells the manager that he's very competent in this line of work. Unfortunately, the manager is not that interested in hiring an ex-con for the job, and says that he won't hire him. Joe is about to give up, when an old friend knock at the door. Why, it's Sally Taylor from high school! Nice to see you Sally, now what do you want? Sally tells Joe that she's come to help him. She has read everything in the newspapers, but she just can't believe that he's capable of murder. Surely he's an innocent man, she tells him. Now she wants to help him get back on his feet, and she's come to offer him a job at the restaurant where she works. You'll do dishes, won't you Joe? Sure, that sounds just fine - he'll take whatever he can get!

C.C. has agreed to let Santana's architecture-firm do some remodeling at his office, and Santana has just drawn up the contract for him to sign. However, now it seems as if C.C. has no interest in doing business with her after the argument they had the other day. Santana can't believe this - is he really gonna let their silly argument affect his business-decisions? Surely, he's not that childish? After a lot of bickering back and forth, C.C. ultimately agrees to sign the contract, but tells Mason that he'll have to handle this - cause C.C. wants nothing more to do with Santana ever again!

Jade is very disappointed to learn that 'making it' in Hollywood is far more difficult that she thought. After running around all day, seeing eight different casting-directors with no luck, she's starting to give up... This will never happen!, she tells Danny with tears in her eyes. She's to short, to fat and her boobs are way too small! Maybe she should just go home to Santa Barbara... Danny assures her that she's the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on, and she will make it - she can't throw in the towel yet! Later, Jade goes to a phonebooth and calls Laken. She tells her what a mess everything is, and that his was way harder than she had ever imagined. Suddenly, she notice that a strange man is lurking around the phonebooth. She tries to leave, but he stops her and says he can help her. However, it's obvious that he's got some shady intentions... Jade looks horrified!

Cruz is feeling a lot better today. C.C. visits him at the hospital and offers him to continue his recuperating at the Capwell mansion. Cruz gladly accepts the offer. Later, Ruben Andrade stops by to see Cruz, and offers him an update on what's been going on with his family in the last episodes - Danny has gone to Hollywood to try his luck as a stuntman, and Santana is now climbing the corporate-ladder as a successful decorator. Ruben admits that he's a little bit disappointed in Santana - as he had thought she would be married by now. Cruz assures him that she will be eventually, but Ruben doubts that - she's only focused on her career.

Indeed, Santana is really a hard working woman. Why, today she's even taken five minutes off from her baby-search to conduct some business with Peter at his office. She wants to show him some ideas she have about rebuilding the Capwell Hotel. Mason stops by and asks if he can sit in on the meeting. Peter shows clear indications that he's attracted to Santana, by making some compliments about her outfit and the perfume she's wearing. Later, when Mason and Peter are alone in the office, Mason fumes that if he intends to marry his sister, he better stop sniffing other women's perfumes! Peter throws a fit and tells him that it's none of his business who's perfume he sniffs!

In Los Angeles, Ted, Danny and Jade are just about to head out the door for an audition, when they become witnesses to a robbery in the apartment building. An elderly lady, Peaches Delight, becomes the victim of a ruthless bag-snatcher who runs up the stairs. But have no fear - Ted and Danny are here, and they catch up with the snatcher and gets her purse back. Peaches is ever so grateful, and asks the youngsters to come in for a visit in her apartment. She offers them a soda, and starts telling them her life story of how she was an actress and exotic dancer in her youth... Jade is very impressed with Peaches life story... Ted gets a pleasant surprise when Laken shows up at his door! She tells him that Augusta finally agreed to let her come to L.A., but she can only stay during the day. Ted is disappointed that she can't sleep over, but then gets a brilliant idea... They ask their new friend Peaches to make a phonecall to Augusta, and tell her that Laken is in very good hands as a guest at her house - would it be totally impossible for her to spend the night? Augusta reluctantly agrees to this, and Ted and Laken are jumping of joy. Peaches offers them to spend the night alone in her apartment, while she goes to bed. They gladly accept her offer, and spend the night watching an old movie on tv. Laken falls asleep in Ted's lap, and he gives her a gentle kiss...

Over to more important stuff - as you might remember from the last episode, Joe and Kelly each got a strange note that said they would be at North Mountain Drive at the exact same time. Indeed, today Kelly arrive at the stables, and gets the surprise of her life when Joe shows up. She gets upset and accuses him of setting this whole thing up. Joe denies this, and shows her the note he got - obviously someone wants them to spend some time together alone... Well, Kelly is not interested in this, and threatens to leave immediately, but Joe convince her to stay... he wants them to talk. Kelly offers him five minutes to say what he has to say, and Joe really takes advantage of these five minutes: "All the years in prison I continued to love you. I know it didn't make much sense, but that's the way it is. Kelly, I know you have a mental block about me - you even testified against me at the trial". "Yeah, cause you killed my brother!", fumes Kelly. "No, I didn't - you have to believe me! I still love you - I haven't given up. And I won't... you wanna know why? You and I had something so incredibly special. We know what it is to really love another person - very few people know that. I just can't believe you feel that way about Peter - you can't. I came back to Santa Barbara for you... and to find the real killer of your brother. I think that you're afraid to let the old feelings come back. They are there - I know, cause I can see it in your eyes when you look at me. You still love me". Kelly begs to differ, and tells him that his five minutes are up, and she has to go. Joe offers to leave instead, so that she won't think he's following her. After he has left, Kelly stands in the stable and looks quite thoughtful...

Santana asks her mother to snoop around the Capwell-house and see if she can find some information about her baby's whereabouts. Rosa is shocked that she'd even ask such a thing, and she refuses to go along with it. C.C. lets Santana know that he's fully aware of her attempt to hire a private investigator to follow him around. However, she might as well give up, cause it won't do her any good. No, I bet it won't, fumes Santana, you've probably bribed all the P.I.'s in town by now! C.C. tells her to forget about her son and get on with her life. After C.C. has left, Santana discovers that he left his wallet on the table. Maybe he has a photograph of her son there? She's just about to open the wallet, when Rosa appears behind her and tells her to stop these foolishness right now! Searching through C.C.'s wallet is just as bad as stealing!, she says angrily. Santana replies that C.C. is the one who is guilty of stealing - he stole her baby! Later, Santana realize that she's gone about this all wrong... Instead of making C.C. her enemy, she's gonna use her feminine charm to get close to him... Rosa shivers at the thought of what her daughter is scheming now...

Joe realize that he's not gonna get a job from anyone in this town, so he might as well take Augusta up on her offer. He knocks at her door late at night, and she invites him in for a martini. She hopes that he's come to tell her that he's going to accept her job offer, and he says that he has. Great!, beams Augusta, this we have to celebrate with some champagne! "Champagne?! - for a guy that does some odd jobs around the house?", says Joe surprised. "No, champagne for YOU to do some odd jobs around the house", Augusta replies with a seductive tone of voice, while she raises the glass up to his mouth...

Cruz is resting in a room at the Capwell house, when C.C. stops by for a chat. Apparently he has discovered about Cruz's friendship with Joe, and he's not happy about it. "I like you Cruz, but there's one thing that I won't tolerate - I won't have you hanging around with a murderer." C.C. says. "Well, that's not gonna work Mr. C - the man is my friend", says Cruz and adds that Joe must be innocent of the murder - he didn't kill your boy Mr. C. However, C.C. is not convinced, and questions if Cruz believes that he knows better that the legal system. "Not at all, I just believe that they are wrong sometimes", Cruz says. C.C. doesn't want to discuss the matter any further, and fumes out the door. (Do we like Cruz or what!)

Later, Cruz gets a visit from Mason. Cruz wants to know how the investigation is going - did they find those thugs that beat up Joe at the bus-station? And what about that shooter who tried to kill him on the bus? Or the man that through the fire bomb in his house? Mason says they haven't found any suspects for these crimes. Cruz finds this to be very odd - and questions weather or not Mason is really doing his best to help Joe. "I get the distinct impression that Joe would be a lot better off if you removed yourself from the case. It's very obvious that you're not exactly eager to press chargers against someone who tried to hurt Joe Perkins." Mason is insulted at his accusations, and says it's just not true. "Look, he's my friend and someone have been trying to kill him a couple of times. I think maybe someone should get off their but and do something about it! If not - he and I are gonna raise one big stink in this community!", Cruz threatens.

Augusta stops by at Peter's apartment, and says she'll help him get rid of Joe Perkins. But she won't do it for free - she wants 100 000 dollars. Peter fumes that he couldn't possibly get that kind of money, but Augusta can't see why not - he is about to marry into the Capwell family, and 100 g's wouldn't make a difference to them. And if Peter doesn't come up with the money, she might just be tempted to spill the beans about their little indiscretions. "Oh Peter, when I think about those poor girls in your classes... I can see your sympathetic hand on their knees when they came to see you in your office..." "Oh Augusta, your mind makes a gutter seam elevated!", fumes Peter. "I've worked hard for a long time. I've taught to a lot of spoiled rotten kids, and now I'm on the break of something really good and I'm not gonna let anyone spoil it for me!" He adds that Kelly is the core of his life - and Augusta would only dare to strike at him...

C.C. throws a party at his luxurious yacht today. When Mason finds out that Santana hasn't planned to attend the party, he calls up hid date and cancels. Then he calls Santana and suggests that she goes to the party with him. She gladly accepts. However, at the party it seems as if Santana is more interested in spending time with C.C. rather then with him. Santana tells C.C. that she's always looked at him as her second father, and surely that old grudge they had won't stand in the way of them being friends, right? C.C. agrees to start fresh, and doesn't realize that Santana has ulterior motives for being so friendly...

Jade's luck is really turning now! Why today, when she sits in a reception awaiting an audition, she's approached by a friendly gentleman who introduces himself as Lloyd. He tells her that he's a very good friend to a European movie producer, and he might be able to get Jade a part in one of his movies! So who is this producer then? Jade asks. Lloyd tells her that his name is Baron Winterset, and he's behind such successful blockbusters as L'amour est mort and Moi s'il-vous-plait. Jade has never heard of any of these flicks, but Lloyd assures her that they are big hits in Europe. He promises to give her photo to Mr. Winterset, and he will probably get back to her by the end of the day. Jade couldn't be happier!

Laken is back home in Santa Barbara, and gets a shock when she discovers that her mom has hired Joe Perkins as their all-purpose handyman. Augusta assures her daughter that he's a very nice man, and very gifted with his hands...

Joe is out in the garden drilling on the fence (or something), when Augusta appears in a tiny bikini. We are then treated to numerous silly lines that could easily have been plucked straight out of a cheesy porno-movie. There are all kinds of sexual innuendos flying around, lines like *It's really HOT today*, and *Are you sure you've got the right TOOL'S for this job*... Then Augusta suggests that he takes a swim in the pool. "Lionel's swim trunks are in the changing room - they'll fit you if you pull the string tight enough. Go on now - I won't dock you paycheck". Joe looks very concerned, and says it might not be such a good idea - what if Laken were to come home and get the wrong impression? "Mr. Perkins, I have never lived my life according to what other people think - I'm totally selfish. And I think you would look divine in Lionel's swim trunks". It looks like Joe's about to go and change, but then he turns around and dives straight into the swimming pool - with his clothes on. Then he swims up to the side where Augusta sits and admires him. She's just about to kiss him, when he pulls away and asks if she now believe in his innocence? Augusta plants a wet kiss on his lips and says that "There's my answer Joe".

After drying off, they are back in the house again, and Augusta asks how his investigation's going? Has he managed to find the real killer yet? No, says Joe, but he's working on it... Augusta is awfully curious to what he's going to do, and finally he tells her that he's gonna break into the Capwell house and snoop around Channing's old room for clues. Augusta is very concerned that he'll get caught, and tells him to be careful.

Later that night, Joe sneaks through the Capwell gates, and heads for the house. He manages to disarm the security alarm, and goes upstairs. Cruz is the only one who's home, and he's lying in his bed reading a book. But meanwhile, Augusta picks up her phone and makes an anonymous phonecall to C.C. at the party. With a fake accent, she tells him that an intruder was spotted breaking into his house, and he should call the police...

A new day is dawning in Hollywood, and our buddies Ted and Danny wake up to the tune of Cindy Lauper's oldie goldie Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Seems as if Jade is busy practicing for her upcoming screen test later today. She jumps up and down to the beat in her room... Both Ted and Danny smells a rat... what if this is just some big scam? Even the name 'Baron Winterset' sounds fake. Jade nixes their warnings as rubbish, and tells them they are only jealous because she's 'making it' in Hollywood, while they are still working at that hamburger joint.

Later, Jade receives a phonecall from the producer, who tells her that the screen test will take place at the corner of Melrose Avenue at midnight. Jade doesn't question the strange location, or the odd hour of the day, but she does have a concerned look on her face... however, she tells Danny that the screen test will take place at Universal Studios.

Kelly gets an unpleasant morning surprise when she catches Joe while he's trying to escape from the house. She gets upset and threatens to hand him over to the police! Joe manages to persuade her from doing that, and after some bickering back and forth, she agrees to help him escape through her window. Joe gets inside the trunk of Cruz's car, as planned, and the car is driven of by doctor Toni. Later, Kelly enters Cruz's bedroom and moans about what happened. She wants Joe to get out of town, because she can't take anymore of this! Her loyalties are getting all mixed up and she doesn't know what to believe anymore. "Well, maybe that should tell you something about your feelings for him", Cruz suggests.

Mason stops by Cruz's bedroom and says he has pondered about their last conversation. He doesn't like that Cruz takes Joe's side in this, and maybe it would be best if he just found somewhere else to live. They start to square off with each other, and finally Masons tells him to be very careful - there are nasty rumors flying around about what Cruz was up to in Texas, and Mason is determined to find out more... Cruz realizes that he's being blackmailed, and looks concerned. Later, Cruz ask to speak to Santana, and asks her to find him a house. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a small place near the beach. He also needs some new furniture... especially a large bed. He tells Santana to pick one out - not to firm and not to soft, but big. "Try it out - if it's good enough for you, then it'll be good enough for me", he says with a glee...

Joe arrives home and goes through the stuff that he managed to get from Channings room. There's a framed photo of Kelly (can't get enough of those), some diary notes and a love letter that Channing apparently wrote to his girlfriend. Here's what the letter says: "I can see your face everytime I close my eyes. It's like your with me all the time. I can almost feel you breathing, touch your hair, smell your perfume... I love you so much". Who could he have written this note to? Who could she be?, Joe asks no one in particular. (My guess is Santana)

Speaking of Santana, today she shows up at C.C.'s house with a big present. It's one of those typical soap-opera gifts. You know the ones where the box and the top is wrapped separately, so that the actor can easily open it in two seconds. I like to call them soap opera gifts, cause I don't know anyone who wraps their presents that way. Anyway, this gift is not for C.C. - it's for her son, and she wants C.C. to give it to him on his birthday. Okay, I know what you're thinking - Santana has probably slipped a note in the box where it says 'Hi, I'm your mama - please call me", and that's exactly what C.C. thinks. But no, he opens the soap opera gift and finds nothing but a pair of trousers and a polo-helmet (every five year olds favorite toy - hey Santana, get with the program - where's the Playstation?!) C.C. also finds a card that says 'Happy birthday', but she hasn't signed it with her name. C.C. feels assured that she's not up to any tricks, so he promises to make sure that the boy receives her gift. Later, home at her apartment, Santana has baked a cake and put five candles on it. 'Happy birthday my boy', she says which tears in her eyes. You know, that was a really sad party for one...

Joe gets the stuff he got from Channing's room, and gives it to Dominick at the warehouse. Dominick says he has to take the stuff home with him, to see if there's any valuable information there. Joe questions weather or not he will ever see the stuff again, but Dominick pulls a gun at him and says to trust him...
