Grant's party continues.

Lisa finds Emma and asks to borrow her lipstick. Lisa walks towards Emma's purse as the camera zeroes in on a gun inside the purse! Lisa gasps when she sees the gun and asks Emma what she's doing. Emma chuckles, saying that she left it in there after killing a rattlesnake out by the pond the other day. Lisa exuses herself when she sees Roxie and Chris gathered. Emma grabs her purse and shoves the gun deeper inside of her purse. Cryptically, she says that if the need arises, she has what she needs.

Chris goes up to Roxie and is surprised to see his Aunt Lisa soon join them. Lisa tells them that she knows what they're both up to and as long as she's breathing, she won't ever approve of their relationship. After Lisa walks off, Roxie scoffs at her attempt to try and make her and Chris not see each other. Chris tells her that he thinks it's for the best. He explains that he did something so horrible, so terrible...and he'll never be able to recover. Roxie wants to ask more, but grows furious when she sees John enter. John saunters away when he spots Rxie approaching, but Roxie cuts him off and with an evil smirk, tells him "Now, now there, John. Whatcha running for? Afraid I'll find out that maybe 'Johnny Boy' hasn't been such a good boy after all?" End on John's panicked face.



Lily arrives and finds Jack by the bar. She asks if he's seen Holden and he replies that Holden went outside on the terrace for some fresh air. Lily finds Holden outside and begs him to quit chasing Craig. Holden goes into a spill about how much pain and devestation Craig brings wherever he goes and tells Lily that it has to stop. Lily agrees and inside, knows what she has to do.

Ben and Jessica enter. Jessica gets a call from Margo and runs outside to take it. We see Margo on an airplane with Tom. Jessica agrees to come pick them up. Meanwhile, Ben finds Bob and tries to beat around the bush, asking if he's told Kim yet or confronted Chris. Bob says that he has and says that Kim did not take it well at first, but she's coming around. He tells Ben that he plans to address Chris about it all later. Chris walks up behind them and asks what the hell they think they're doing..talking about him as if he's not even there.

As we see Tom and Margo getting in the car with Jessica and thanking her for the ride, a mysterious woman looks on.



Maddie and Luke arrive at the party. Luke thanks her for accepting his invitation and pledges to keep it cool tonight. No fits. No fights. Maddie turns around when she hears a familiar voice and is shocked to see Henry at the bar getting drunk off of martinis. Maddie can't believe her big brother is back so soon! Henry drunkenly babbles that he had no place to go so he just stayed a few nights in Chicago. Maddie still can't believe her eyes and leaps for joy that her brother is back in Oakdale where he belongs.

Bob, Ben, and Chris all seemed to have moved outside towards the elevators. Kim punches the button "7" and ding after ding of each floor, she hears an argument getting louder and closer, louder and closer. Kim steps off the elevator and sees the three men arguing louder than ever. Not knowing what they're arguing about but hasty to confront her son, Kim barges her way into the center of the three and orders them all to just shut up. As Nancy looks on, Kim asks her son what he has become. "Do I even know you anymore?" she emotionally shrieks. Bob tries to hold her back. Kim can see the emotion, the sorrow filling Chris's eyes with tears and demands to know what happened at Windy Falls!

Katie and Mike return to Oakdale and though they had initally refused the idea, decide to go to Grant's party. Everyone congratulates the newlyweds as they enter the party. Mike locks eyes with Lily as he flashes back to their kiss at the Wagon Wheel. Lily comes up and asks to borrow Mike for a moment. Once they're alone in the storage room, Mike tells her that he's very sorry about their kiss. Lily says she knows and that she knows they said they'd remain friends. However, Craig knows. Mike is horrified and wants to know how Craig knows. Lily says that she doesn't know, but she plans on telling Holden so he needs to tell Katie. Astonished, Lily listens as Mike tells her that he's already told Katie. He tells of how they made a pact to never keep a secret from one another as long as they both shall live. Lily immediately feels horrible, since she's still struggling with how she'll tell Holden.

Milly goes outside for some fresh air and hears a ruffle in the bushes. This face appears. "Well hello, young man. You sure are quite a looker. Lovely night, isn't it?", Milly flirtaciously smirks. The man walks away and Milly just stands there, saying she never was that attracted to foreigners anyway. As she looks inside her purse, she sees the gun. She turns her head to make sure nobody is coming or looking and pulls it out. "Tonight all my troubles will finally be over", she says as she lets out a psychotic cackle.



Lisa happens upon Dana in the ladies room. Lisa applauds Dana for a job well done and asks what she got her father for his birthday. Dana exictedly informs Lisa that her father is going to be so surprised when he sees his present! Lisa asks what it is again, but Dana runs off, leaving Lisa baffled.

Gwen and Will find themselves stuck at the B.R.O. offices. Gwen, who locked her keys in the car, goes to call a cab but the operator tells her that all of the cabs are booked for a big party up town. Gwen shouts at the operator that the party is where they're going. Angrily she hangs up and is even more frustrated when she sees Barbara pull up.



Barbara offers Will and Gwen a lift. Though both initially refuse it, they decide that they'd much rather be at a party than stuck in a parking lot.

Grant arrives and everyone wishes him a happy birthday. He promises everyone a good time and the band starts to play. Lily gets on stage and sings.

As Lily sings, the scene switches to a dark room. A white glove delicately caresses the barrel of a small hand gun.

Fade out.

And don't miss tomorrow....


.....when The World Of Oakdale goes out with a few bombshells and one big....

BANG!
