"Aboard Fidelity, Tonya was kissing Adam passionately. He pulled away and suggested they sit down and try to get to know each other better. Tonya giggled and told Adam that he should "go with the flow." She hadn't wanted to go on the boat but had wondered who she could possibly meet to fill her needs. She said she "followed [her] bliss," and there she was on the boat with the most powerful and handsomest man in America. Adam looked a bit confused. "You followed your what?" he asked Tonya. "My bliss," she replied, "it means that I am ready to open myself up to you, totally."

Adam tried to avoid Tonya's advances by walking over to the window to check out what was going on with Liza and Bob. Tonya giggled again and said that Adam was shy. She then asked him if he thought it was fascinating how people developed particular talents from their jobs. She explained that she worked at a health spa and that her particular talent was that she could tell what people looked like without their clothes on. Adam looked uncomfortable. She then told him he was gorgeous, and not knowing what to say, Adam told her she was "pretty fit" herself.

"My thigh muscles are rock solid. Feel!" she said as she turned her backside to Adam and grabbed his hand and put it on her thigh. "Yes, rock solid," he replied. She then began to check out Adam's right leg for muscles, and he directed her to his left leg. He asked her if she noticed any difference between his legs, and she told him they were both "perfection." Wanting to get rid of her, he told her that even with her x-ray vision, she could not tell the real leg from the prosthesis.

He said, "I really got my money's worth. I told the guy at the lab that I didn't want to be able to tell the difference between the leg that was attached and the leg I hung on a peg each night before I made love." Tonya was shocked by his revelation, made up some excuse that she had a phone call, and left. Adam grinned to himself as she walked away. He then sneaked out on the deck to see what Liza and Bob were up to.

Bob was telling Liza that he had done some "acting" in college and gave her a sample of a play he had done in school. He told her that the critics had said he "seethed with passionate intensity." Liza pretended to be impressed and asked him if he still had the reviews. He explained that he had just been a kid back then and had since found something much better that would give his life true meaning, dermatology. Adam, who had overheard the entire conversation, almost burst out laughing.

Bob began to tell Liza about his office. One wall was entirely covered with pictures of his patients at their senior proms, and all the pictures had written on them, "Thanks, Dr Bob." Liza was rolling her eyes as Adam was snickering in the background. Bob told her that he had a good life -- his house was paid for, and he was able to go scuba diving off the coast of Catalina every summer. He changed the mood and said that even though it was a nice life, he wondered what good it was if there was no one special to share it with.

Liza asked Bob about Tonya, and he explained that Tonya was just a girl, and he was interested in meeting a woman -- someone kind, smart, generous, someone just like Liza. Liza reminded him that she was spoken for and that she had found her special someone. Bob was very disappointed, but Adam, who was still eavesdropping, was very happy. Liza continued by telling Bob what she had found with Adam. As she was explaining it, Adam appeared and kissed her. He then suggested that Bob go and see Tonya's thighs. "She would like that," Adam said.

Phyllis was telling Leo how wonderful Paris was, and she hoped that he would return someday. He said that would not happen, since he had told her three times in the previous five minutes that he was getting married. They sat on the couch, and Phyllis took his hand and told him she could read palms. She told him that she saw it; he was going to have money. He pulled his hand away and told her that he didn't care about money. She then added that he was going to marry a very rich girl, and he was going to have a lot of fun spending her fortune.

Leo was suspicious about what she was saying and asked her if Roger had sent her. He jumped up from the couch and accused her of knowing who he was marrying. She replied by telling him that she was the rich girl he should marry. She explained that she had invented the "I Can't Believe It's a Mop" and had made millions on the shopping channel -- and didn't mind showing him a good time.

In one of the staterooms, Greenlee accused Lars of setting up the whole thing. Lars told her it was just a coincidence. He explained that it was nice to see her again, since she had never let him apologize the last time they had seen each other. She meant a lot to him. He asked her if she was really getting married and then told her that he didn't expect her to forgive him for what he had done, but he did want to wish her happiness in her married life.

Lars took Greenlee by the hand and kissed her. Greenlee told Lars that she hadn't thought of him in years. He had only cared about her because of her trust fund, and she had found true love with Leo. Lars told her it had to be some guy she was marrying and that he had to meet Leo. He got up to leave the room, and Greenlee grabbed him and told him to stay away from Leo. He wasn't going to mess anything up.

Ilene, meanwhile, showed Ryan and Gillian a tape of Greenlee and Lars's kiss. Gillian was crushed and worried that Leo would be devastated. Ryan, however, felt that they should show the tape to Leo in an effort to boost the show's ratings. Gillian disagreed, but Ryan later talked her over to his side. Ilene screened the tape for Leo and Greenlee, as Ryan and Gillian looked on from a few steps behind. The tape had been edited in such a way that it looked as if Greenlee has kissed Lars after they talked over their past relationship.

Greenlee swore that the kiss had been first and that her conversation with her ex-lover had been misrepresented. Leo hesitantly accepted Greenlee's explanation. The two ventured off to an empty stateroom, where Greenlee flipped off the lights to show Leo how much she really loved him. Ilene, meanwhile, chatted with Gillian and learned that Gillian's family owned the Wildwind estate.

Ilene said that the grounds would serve well for one of her upcoming projects. She asked Gillian if she could sketch a detailed layout of the property, and Gillian was only too happy to oblige. A cameraman approached Ilene and told her that some of the topside cameras had run out of film. Ilene flashed him a funny glare and reminded him that they were not really there to tape a television program.

At the hospital, as Bianca looked on, an extremely cute doctor was checking Laura's heart rate and pulse. Her heart sounded good, and her pulse was normal. "Are you sure?" she said with a smile, adding, "You would have thought my heart rate would have accelerated just now." She continued to flirt with him and asked him if it was hard pulling the late shift if there was somebody at home waiting for him. "Doc" replied that there was no one at home waiting for him.

Laura was quite happy, but her happiness was short-lived when the doctor added that his wife was away and would return home that evening. He told her to get some rest, and he left. "Wouldn't you know it, Dr. Gorgeous is married," she said to Bianca, complaining, "It seems that everyone is paired up except for me." Bianca suggested that she try to get her mind on something else.

Just then, Shannon and her friends walked in with a bunch of balloons for Laura. Laura asked them if they were in the right room, and they explained that they were there to see their friend. Laura replied by telling them that they had to have the wrong room, as they were not friends. They seemed shocked that Laura did not consider them friends. Shannon and the two other girls took turns taunting Laura.

Shannon warned Laura that she was going to file assault charges against her. Mindy chattered that they would spread rumors that Laura had tried to commit suicide by overdosing on "X" as a result of being dumped by Leo. Suddenly, the door swung open, and Jackson entered. Shannon asked Bianca what was going on. "Oh, you know my uncle," Bianca replied, "Jackson Montgomery, the former D.A. of Pine Valley."

The girls look a little panicked, and then Jackson added, "You know it's a shame, girls. I shouldn't be talking to you without knowing who your lawyers are." Shannon questioned why they would need lawyers, and Jackson suggested that they had better put a "dream team" together pretty quickly, or they would never be ready on time. Shannon had no idea what Jackson was talking about. Jackson chattered about felony and misdemeanor charges that could be filed against them.

The girls professed their innocence as they passed a can of soda back and forth. When they'd finished the can of soda, one of the girls placed the can on Laura's table. Jackson carefully hoisted the can into the air with a pencil. He then asked Laura and Bianca if they'd touched the can. The two girls shook their heads negatively. Jackson informed the "Three Stoogettes" that he would plant the can at a Pine Valley crack house before the next police raid. He explained that since he had no evidence that Shannon had antagonized Laura, planting the can was the only way he could punish them.

The three girls were outraged and claimed that no one would believe that they were drug addicts. Jackson quickly noted that Shannon was a drug addict -- or at least a drug abuser. Jackson mortified the trio by mentioning that they would be forced to clean the prison latrines. Their fate was to be decided by Laura, who Jack said would have to decide whether or not he planted the can. The three girls promised to spread nothing but nice words about Laura at school. Laura nodded and said that she'd let them off the hook.

However, Jack said he'd hold on to the soda can... just in case. After the three girls left the room, Bianca and Laura thanked Jack for his help. Jack also informed Laura that her suspension had been lifted. When asked how he'd managed to get the suspension lifted, Jack smiled and stated that when he'd talked to the principal, the principal had been drinking a can of soda.

At Wildwind, Alex and Edmund were discussing the doll Alex and Anna had found in the trunk and how for a moment, she had thought she was Anna. She told Edmund that she couldn't go through that again. She had no control over her thoughts. Edmund suggested that seeing the doll for a moment had made her think about Robin. Edmund told her not to worry; he would be there to make sure she didn't "slip" again.

The phone rang, and someone on the other end said that there was a fire in the tack room. Edmund and Alex rushed out. As they exited, Gabriel walked in. He looked around and found the doll. He held the doll and then heard a voice saying, "Get to Anna Devane. You will know what to do."

At the tack room Edmund was questioning the security guard as to how the fire had started and if he had seen anyone around. The guard explained that it had been a wastebasket that had been overturned near the space heater. He hadn't noticed if anyone had been around as he had simply run over to put out the fire. Edmund thanked the guard, and he left. Alex asked Edmund if he thought someone had started the fire. They mulled the possible ways the fire had started, but neither was vocal about the fire being intentionally started.

Back at the lodge, Gabriel picked up the doll that Alex had left behind and stared icily into the distance. Gabriel ducked into hiding when he heard Alex and Edmund's voices approaching. Upon entering, Alex picked up Robin's doll and told Edmund that she was very mad that Charlotte could control her thoughts through the doll, and she wondered what else Charlotte had planted in the trunk. She wasn't sure what belonged to her or what belonged to Anna. She was scared. She didn't know what would happen next or when Charlotte would take over her thoughts again.

Anna, who had overheard Edmund and Alex's conversation, walked in, kicked the trunk, and told them she wished she had never opened it. Alex told her that she'd had to open the trunk; their main concern was getting Anna's memory back. Anna told Alex that she felt responsible for everything Alex was going through. Anna felt that Charlotte had a hold on Alex because she was after Anna. Anna's solution was that she should leave Wildwind.

The sisters argued, and Anna proceeded to leave. Alex grabbed her arm. Dimitri suddenly stormed into the lodge and announced that the pilot who had flown him and Edmund to Bart's Canadian hideout had been located. As it turned out, he'd been arrested. Dimitri had been able to speak to him and learn a little more about the goons that had been sent after Anna. According to the pilot, Charlotte had arranged for a hired gun to track down -- and presumably kill -- Anna. The hit man, he stated, was supposedly someone who no one would suspect as a danger. In his hiding place, Gabriel suddenly scowled."
