And now, the finale of... THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening NOTE: This episode is extra long, but well worth it. Enjoy. Barbara, Will, and Gwen arrive to the party. Barbara is irked to even be coming (because of Dana), but knows Grant through a former business venture. Will questions Gwen as to why she's been so pissy, and Gwen chuckles that it must be the harmones or something. Will places his hand on her stomach. "Just think, this baby will be such a blessing", he says. Gwen turns away and Will asks what's wrong. Gwen breaks down, saying that she's afraid she'll lose this baby, too. Will tells her to cheer up. It's obivous that God is giving them a second chance. Besides, she was young. She didn't know how to handle pregnancy the first time around. Gwen echoes that she still doesn't know how to handle pregnancy. Barbara overhears and vows to help Gwen. Gwen is taken back by Barbara's nurturing attitude. Will pays no attention to his mother, though, and assures Gwen that they'll learn how to handle it all. Together. Maddie hugs Henry so tight that he begins squirming. "Okay, okay, I think I've gotten enough hugs to last me for a lifetime", he says. Maddie apologizes, saying that she's just so happy that he finally came to his senses about that walking piranha Katie. Henry takes offense and tells his sister that she needs to shut her mouth about Katie. He knows she's hurt alot of people, but he seems to be the only one that understands Katie's logic. Luke takes a break from the dance floor and asks Maddie to dance with him. On the dance floor, they bump into Gwen and Will. After the song, Gwen and Maddie take a seat and recall all the hard times they've faced in the past year. Jason's name comes up and Maddie notices Gwen tense up. Gwen tells Maddie to leave that particular issue in the past. Just as Will walks up, Maddie blurts out that she can't just leave it in the past. "Jason told me that the only reason that you guys split was because you stole all of his stuff, left a note apologizing for it, and then left without a sound. I want to know why you would do something like that", Maddie pleads. "Yeah. Tell us, Gwen", Will demands. Simon continues to stalk Mike and Katie. He vows to find Katie and explain the whole mess with Pilar. He never intended for it to go that far, he says. He never meant to hurt Katie or Mike and he's been going crazy over it for the past year and a half or so. Jack comes out of the party and notices a man fleeing around the corner of the building. Jack calls in to security and says that it looks suspicious and for their guys to take a look at it. Once he goes back inside, Simon returns and stares at Katie dancing with Mike through the window. Katie catches a glance of him, deafly mutters "Simon"?, and then faints. Out beside the elevators, Kim demands to know Chris tell them what happened at Windy Falls. Chris tries lunging for Ben, but Bob holds him back, demanding for his son to get under control. Through tears, Chris tells them that he did a horrible thing. When he first got the job, every thing was going great. He was happy with his job and glad to get away from all the drama back home. Soon, he met an old woman named "Mrs. Adams". She had an incurable cancer that stemmed from her legs and soon, took control over her whole body. Though bed ridden and endlessly exhausted, Mrs. Adams had this love for life, this inner strength that kept her going. She had a humor like no other, but he could tell that she was crippled emotionally. Her family was non-existent. Her son died in Iraq and her daughter died in a car accident at the age of 16. She was old and frail and pretty soon, her love for life started to diminish. Ben, Bob, Kim, and Nancy all look on as an emotionally distraught Chris tries to finish the rest of the story. He says that one day, he walked in and she wasn't in her bed. She was on the ledge of the hospital. Chris drug her back in, but for a week straight, she kept crawling out on the ledge. Chris finally stayed with her one night to ensure that she wouldn't crawl out again. In the middle of the night, Mrs. Adams called his attention. She tearfully begged him to let her go. Let her die. She begged him to let her go and be with her son and daughter. Let her live by dying. Chris screams with tears, "So I did it! I did it! I pulled the plug. I lied to my superiors. I watched her as she struggled for breath!! And........I......I wanted her to LIVE!! I wanted her to quit suffering!! Oohhh.....ooohhh!! What did I do??!!!" Everyone is either near tears or wiping them away. Chris turns and sees Nancy look at him with emotion pouring from her face. "Grandma, I never...", he cries. "Don't touch me!", Nancy barks. As Kim goes off to comfort a noticeably torn Nancy, Ben and Bob take turns comforting Chris. Lily grabs a glass of soda from the bar and starts to head back to her seat. She's cut off by Craig. "Have you accepted my offer? Or am I going to need to tell Holden everything?", Craig says with a smirk. Lily asks Craig why is he doing this. Why is he treating her like he treats everyone else. She says that she seemed to be the only one in her family that didn't have a persistent hatred for him. She was there for him. He was there for her. What changed? Craig insists that he's just doing what's best for Worldwide. Lily asks if Craig thinks that he's what's best for Worldwide. Crag thinks he is, but Lily changes the subject, saying that she's already told Holden. Craig laughs and says she's just bluffing. Holden walks up and Craig invites him to join them. "Has your wife told you that she has something to tell you yet?", Craig asks Holden, all the while locking eyes with a panicked Lily. "No. What do you have to tell me?", Holden asks. Lucinda overhears the commotion and decides now is the best time to confront Craig. Lucinda steps up and knocks Craig a big one. She questions his sanity, thinking that he can just come in and take her company. "How dare you?" she bellows. Craig looks at Lily and tells her that she's bitten off more than she can chew. Lily's forced to just stand by as Craig tells Holden that one night, on his way home, he went by the Wagon Wheel. He wanted to check up on Katie and Mike was his only way to find out, since he didn't want to confuse Katie and Lyla seemed to be tied up with Katie and he didn't want to bother her. Holden demands Craig go ahead and cut to the chase. Holden stands horrified, shocked, disgusted as Craig informs him that when he peeked inside the room...whom did he see? But Lily and Mike locking lips. Holden starts to leap for Craig, but Lily holds him back. "Honey, don't. It's all true. I kissed Mike", Lily cries. Craig looks on with a wicked gleam in his eye. Margo and Tom arrive and inform Lisa that Casey is doing fine. They finally found out that he had pneumonia and some virus but they were able to treat it. Lisa is ecstatic as Tom tells her that Casey should be coming home in a few weeks with Adam and Abigail. Margo left something in the car and goes outside to get it. To her surprise, the mystery woman approaches her. "Leah!!", she chuckles. "I have not seen you in ages! What brings you to Oakdale?" Margo listens intently as Leah explains that she needs her help. Her husband Edward was involved in an illegal gambling ring. When she tried to intervene, Edward's debtors came calling and killed him in cold blood. She weeps that she doesn't remember a thing except for them coming in and telling her that if she didn't stay out of it, she'd be next. The next thing she remembers is when she woke up and she was lying next to a dead Edward with a gun in her hand. A tearful Leah begs Margo to help her. As Margo takes her old friends into her arms, Leah crumbles. Back inside, Mike is finally able to wake Katie up without causing a scene. Katie says that she saw Simon and Mike fears that her memory troubles are returning. Katie pleads with Mike to listen to her. She wasn't dreaming. She knows what she saw. Simon is back. Andy and Emily try to enjoy a nice, romantic night at home but their electricity goes out, promopting them to go to the party and have some fun while the wait for the lights to come back on. Emily is less than happy to see most of her enemies there. Lisa, Roxie, Barbara... Andy encourages her to just relax and have a good time. Emily tells Andy that as long as she gets to spend the rest of her life with him, she'll have plenty of good times. Emily notices Andy's eyes wander towards John and Roxe in the corner in a heated argument. Emily turns Andy's face back towards her and tells him not to even think about it. Whatever scheme those two are plotting, Andy and Emily will back it through. Andy can't help but think that he had finally gotten through to her about John. Roxie corners John. "What did you mean by that Roxie?" he insists. "You know exactly what I'm talking about, Doc." Roxie turns to leave. "Just as I thought! Another one of your bluffs. After all this time you still don't know how to play with the big boys." John says very smugly. Furious, Roxie whirls back around and comes face to face with John. "Edith Gardner. Does that name mean anything to you, John?" Roxie says. John looks very worried at first. Then, he just tries to play it off. Roxie smirks at being able to make John sweat. "I like you like this. All ancey. On the edge of your seat. It kind of turns me on", Roxie teases. "Why are you doing this? Don't you have anything better to do? Like screwing Chris Hughes?", John retorts. Roxie starts to slap John but retsrains herself. "I'm just trying to return the favor", Roxie says as she playfully fiddles with John's tie. "Are you still mad because I didn't help you extract revenge on Barbara and Gwen?", John questions. Roxie pays him no mind as she continues talking. "Johnny boy, I don't wanta even flatter you by telling you that I spent an hour of my precious time sweeping the internet to get the dish on ya. You see...I know something about you. Could blow you outh of the water. BUT!...I'm not hasty like some." John wonders aloud, "What do you want?" Roxie replies with such delight that she's shaken Dr. Dixon to his very core. "Funny you should ask. I didn't think you'd care. Well...let me just put it out there for ya...Roxie needs some brand new duds and you're going to help her get them. And if not, I'll be sure you wish you never returned to this God forsaken town to begin with. Got it?" Roxie smiles as she walks off, leaving an anxious John behind. Kim finally coaxes Nancy into riding home with her. The two ladies leave. Everyone, minus a few, watches as Lisa whole-heartedly sings "Happy Birthday". A seven foot high cake comes rolling out. Laughter erupts throughout the room as Grant blushes. All the laughter and singing is soon cut short, though, when Dana pops out of the cake with a gun in hand! Milly, Grant, Lisa, and Emma tremble in fear. Screams abound and people fall to the floor, ducking the bullets that might fly. Milly stands up and asks her daughter what the hell she's doing. Dana replies that she's doing something nobody else in this town seemed to have the balls to do. Dana takes aim at Lisa, Emma, and Grant. It's obvious Dana is not in her right mind. She steps off the platform that the cake was on. Dana commands her father's attention and tells him that she knew what was going on all along. A very bothered Grant asks Dana to put the gun down. Instead, Dana waves the gun in front on Grant's forehead. Just then, Milly crawls over and grabs her purse. She looks inside, but no gun is in there. "She has my gun!", Milly thinks to herself. Emma notices Milly freaking out and looks over in her purse and sees her pistol is still in there. She truthfully recalls putting it in there as a means of protection and because she really did kill a snake with it the other day. Dana asks them all to join her on stage. Lisa, Emma, Milly, and Grant all fearfully climb on stage as Dana paces in front of them. Quite chatter flows through the room as hotel security flood the now-padlocked room. Dana chuckles that she's glad she had a chance to lock the doors in case anybody tried doing anything stupid like calling the cops. She hollers for the audience to shut up! Grant pleads with his daughter to just put the gun down and let Daddy take care of everything. Dana snarls that Grant is the whole reason she's doing this. She dangles her gun in front of Lisa and Emma. "I figured one of them would have knocked you off by now, but I guess they were too 'hypnotized by your charm'!" Emma keeps looking inside of her purse. Dana asks if they all want to know what this is about. Some wise guy pipes up for the pscyho to just them all go. Dana, infuriated, turns and shoots him in the leg. Howls erupt from the man and sreams from the audience. As people scramble to further themselves from the stage, Dana taunts Milly, Grant, Lisa, and Emma. Dana notices Gwen and Barbara in the audience and asks them to join her on stage. The two women have no choice but to oblige. Emma asks Dana to talk to her. Tell her what's going on. Dana slaps Emma and tells her not to talk to her like some psychologically demented witch. Dana recalls how Milly booted her and Grant out of the house because Grant quit paying her hush money. "Alimony my ass", she laughs. Dana looks at Barbara and Gwen and says "1997. Baltiomore. You wanta know why I was so intent on that file? Because it had the name of the whore model that my father had sex with! At that very same fashion show." "All my life, my parents were madly in love. But then when I was only 14, they divorced. I had no clue why. They were so in love. Weren't you?" Dana says as she aims her gun towards her parents. "But in 1997, my parents decided to go to a fashion show. While Daddy went backstage to talk with Barbara, he decided to drop by and see his favorite model of the night. Alexandra Bridges. Wasn't that her name, Daddy? But something went wrong. Didn't it? Answer me!! Didn't something go wrong?!?!" Grant slightly mutters a yes. "Yeah, thats right" Dana says. Alexandra found out that she was playing midnight footsies with the governor of Indiana and threatened to expose his cheating ways if he didn't fork over some cash. So what did the coward do? He killed her!! And then dumped the body into the river. But it doesn't stop there, does it?!" "Daddy decided that he should cover it up. Who does he pick to help him? HIS WIFE!! My mother!! And people wonder why she's crazy today!" Dana muttered. "Hey! I resent that stateme..", Milly attempted to say. "Quiet, mother!" Dana ordered. "It's because of you, Daddy, that Mother went to the psych ward. She was so tormented and scarred by what you put her through. And then you expect for her to just go back to loving you?? No. It's not like that. It's also because you felt the walls closing in. That's why you moved here. You didn't just want to help Carly and Jack get Emma's farm back. You ruined one happy home...ours....so you decided to see how many you could manage to obliterate in Oakdale!!" As Dana talks, Lisa and Emma formulate a plan. Emma catches Jack's attention and hands the gun to Lisa, who hands it down to Jessica, who hands it to Maddie, who hands it to Mike, who hands it to Jack. Jack stands up and Dana turns her attention to him. She's shocked when she sees Jack has a gun and points the gun towards Grant. "Looks like we're both going down", Dana says. "I loved you Daddy. I really did". And with that, two shots are fired into Grant's chest. Almost in the middle of the second shot, Jack shoots Dana. As the two bloody corpses fall on the stage, screams and cries echo through the room. Fade out on that scene and move through the Hughes home. A picture of Jeff and Penny stands upright on the mantle. A picture of Ryder stands on the coffee table. Pictures seem to be everywhere. The camera goes to the couch where a box full of picture lies. Each picture chronicles a time in Oakdale history. Damian, Jennifer and Barbara, Hal, Betsy, Aaron and Alison, Frannie and Sabrina, Conner Walsh, Cal, the pictures never end. As the camera pans up the stairs and into Nancy's room....we see Nancy lying in bed. We can hear Kim talking to someone about all the chaos at the party. Kim asks if everyone is okay. Nancy grabs a photo from her nightstand. It's an old photo of Chris, her husband. As she cries, she holds the photo to her chest. (In a scene remembrant of the first scene on ATWT....) "Goodnight dear", Nancy says as she drifts off into a peaceful slumber. Fade out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And now..... a special message from The World of Oakdale Creator/ Executive Producer/ Headwriter/ Director/ Etc.

You killed J.T., you heartless bastard!! Just kiddin'. Awesome episode. And I know, as her #1 fan, that Peyton would've ROCKED every single one of those scenes!!

I can't help but think that Andy's return to school is a major plot point in this story. Might just me being very overly analytical, but it just keeps sticking out to me as something important that'll come into play down the road. Who's playing E.C.? I can't believe Will told Bo! Go, Will!

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening 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. ------COMMERCIAL------ 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. ------COMMERCIAL------ 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. ------COMMERCIAL------ 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. ------COMMERCIAL------ 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!

1. Alan Spaulding 2. Harley Cooper 3. Wild guess here, but I'm going to say it was when the twins were born. One was said to be Rick's and the other was said to be someone else's.

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening It's the day of Grant's birthday bash and everyone pours into the Lakeview's seventh floor party hall. Dana is dressed to perfection with a blue dress. She spots Milly in a black business suit and scolds her mother for not coming festive like they had agreed. Milly tells her daughter to buzz off. Milly walks by Jack as he holds a conversation with Holden. Holden confesses Lily's been nervous acting ever since Craig stalked him back to the house last night. Jack asks what Holden plans on doing and Holden says that after Craig left last night, Lily just went upstairs to bed. When he woke up this morning, she was gone. Meanwhile, Lily sits at her desk at Worldwide. As she stares at a picture of herself and Holden, Craig's words vibrate through her head. "You weren't so 'behind' your husband the night you were busy locking lips and God knows what else with Mike Kasnoff". Though not that threatened by his blackmailing ways (she knew he hadn't changed any), she does wonder how Craig knew. Craig appears and apologizes to Lily for last night. Lily's disgusted at just the thought of being in the same room with him and politely asks him to leave her alone. Craig refuses, ordering her to hear him out and adhere to his demands or he'll blow her precious love affair with Mike Kasnoff out into the open waters. Craig tells her that if she doesn't want to be exposed, she'll convince Lucinda and Holden to sell him their stock and convince Lucinda to give him the company. Lily tells him that such a feat's impossible. Craig sticks by his words and tells her that if she decides otherwise, then he'll decide otherwise against keeping her secret. Soon, Lucinda arrives and Craig high tails it before she can say anything. Lucinda asks what that was all about, but Lily tells her to leave it alone. They have a party to go to. Roxie arrives with Lisa and the two can't believe the work that Dana has done. It looks spectacular. Lisa goes up to Dana and asks Dana if she would be interested in re-decorating the Lakeview rooms. Dana is flattered, but tells Lisa that she's leaving town tonight after the party. As Dana and Lisa talk, Roxie gets a call from Chris. He apologizes for acting like such an ass yesterday. He explains that he hasn't felt like himself in quite a long time and asks what her plans are for the day and later that night. Roxie invites Chris to the party and is even more surprised when he actually walks up right behind her. Emma arrives and finds Dana. She notices Dana's rather on edge and assumes that she's nervous about the party. Milly comes up to them and strikes small talk with Emma, glad to finally meet the woman who was ever-so-close from making the mistake of giving her heart to Grant. Dana excuses her mother's rudeness. Milly walks away. Later, 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!

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Maddie is excited that Gwen is pregnant, but wonders how. Gwen talks of the treatment she has been doing since her fall. Maddie is ecstatic and later joins Luke at Java to tell him the good news. Luke gets upset when Maddie reminds him of his recent stunts and takes off. Later, Emma gets a visit from Emma. Lisa listens as Emma gives Luke advice, saying that when Luke is able to forgive himself, then others will be able to forgive him as well. Lisa excuses herself and goes to find Roxie. She's surprised to find Roxie at the suite. Roxie tells Lisa that she hopes to see her at the party tomorrow night. Lisa tells her she'll be there with bells on and Grant following right behind her, she's sure. Roxie leaves. Soon after, Lisa gets a call from Dana reminding her what time to be there. As we see Dana get off the phone with Lisa, we see Milly in th background. Dana says she didn't expect Milly to be up and about so soon. She really made a show the other day. Milly fires back for Dana to mind her own business. She claims that with a child like her and an ex-husband like Grant, she'd like to meet a woman in this world that wouldn't lose her mind. As Dana exits the room to get ready for the party, Milly grabs her purse. After reading a label that says "Take one twice daily", she take three. As she puts the pills back in her purse, she softly runs her hands over a gun. Chris notices the akwardness in the house and addresses it. Kim emotionally tells Chris that they're just tired from the wedding. And now, they have a birthday party for Grant to go to. Bob comes down and tells Chris that if he ever needs anything, to just let him know. They can all handle it together. Chris can't handle the tension in the air anymore and bolts. Later, he meets up with Roxie. Roxie asks what Chris wanted when he called her and he tells her that he wants what every man in America wants. Great sex. Roxie asks Chris if he really has feelings for her or if he's just anxious to get laid. Chris replies the latter. Roxie slaps him a good one and vows never to see him again. Later, though, Roxie fantasizes about Chris following her into Al's Diner and angrily throwing her up against the counter and passionately ripping off all her clothes. As they clear off the ice cream bar for a place to have wild, raunchy sex...Roxie is jolted out of her fantasy by her cell ringing. Lisa tells her that her assistant dropped out of the party at the last minute and she needs Roxie to fill in. Roxie agrees. Holden finally tracks Craig down at the Worldwide offices. Holden furiously shouts that Craig has no ethics and if anyone should be half owner of the company, it's Lily. Holden accuses Craig of taking advantage of Lily. Craig denies no such thing and taunts Holden about being half owner of the company. He asks if Holden likes his job and tells him that if he keeps acting this way, he'll find himself back at the old raggly Snyder barn milking a goat. Holden lunges for Craig and Craig punches him. Holden knocks Craig to the ground and severely lays it down on him. Later, Lily is horrified when Holden returns all bloody and promises that Craig won't be half owner of Worldwide much longer. As Holden goes upstairs, Craig comes in and tells Lily that Holden attacked him. Lily tells Craig that no matter what he says, she's sticking by her husband. Craig taunts her saying that she wasn't that "behind her husband" when she kissed Mike. Lily stands horrified that Craig knows. She also wonders how he knows, but her wonder is cut short with rage. Angrily, she yells for Craig to get out!

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Mike and Katie enjoy their romantic honeymoon in Florida. Comical scenes and romantic lovemaking sessions. Mike and Katie have never been this happy. Emma exhaustedly take osff her gloves and steps back. As she stares at the makeshift memorial to the horse that just couldn't stay around to watch her beautiful, bouncing baby colt born. Faith emerges from the house with Holden. It's obvious that she loved the poor, old horse. After a brief, impromptu burial service, Faith asks her grandmother how old you have to be before you die. Emma laughs the question off at first, but realizes now is the perfect time to explain to Faith the meaning of life and death. In a touching scene, Emma talks with Faith as Holden listens nearby while milking the new baby colt. Later, Lisa arrives and warns Emma that they have their hands full with this party. Dana isn't holding anything back. Decorations galore, this party is sure to be the talk of the town for ages to come. Gwen thanks Maddie for meeting with her. Maddie brings up the subject of Luke before Gwen can share the good news of her pregnancy with her. Maddie admits to Gwen that she's scared of what Luke is capable of. He's slashed her ex-boyfriend Heath's tires, basically drove Heath to attempt suicide and leave town, and now...he's bullying not only her, but his parents. Gwen reveals that Will had a very intense talk with Luke and things should be shaping up soon. Maddie is relieved. Gwen then takes the time to tell her best friend that she's pregnant! Kim finally calms down and pulls herself together after Bob gets her some water. Nancy comes into the kitchen and demands that Bob tell her what is going on with Chris. Bob and Kim sit her down and tell her how Chris was terminated from Windy Falls Medical Center because he was uncooperative in questioning regarding an edlerly patient's sudden and mysterious death. Kim stresses to Nancy that he was uncooperative in questioning, meaning that he didn't necessarily have anything to do with it. Nancy recalls Chris's strange behavior over the past few months. Kim begs her not to say anything to Chris until her and Bob can confront him. Later, all three receive invitations to Grant's birthday party at the Lakeview. As Chris enters the house, it fills with tension. Lucinda meets with some board members and learns that Craig was threatening a lawsuit over a legal snafu that occurred in business with him years ago. Lily was only justifiable in reaching a bargain with him. Lucinda says she has every nerve to fire each one of them right now. Lily comes back in and pleads with her mother to hear her out. Lucinda agrees but not right now. She tells her daughter to come back in the morning so she'll have time to cool down. Lily thanks her mother and walks away. Later, Holden arrives and learns the news about Craig. Angry and determined to change Craig's mind for himself, Holden sets off to find the new half owner of Worldwide, Craig.

:o Holey cow patties!!! :o

Thanks, King. That means alot! I truly think I'm making the right decision. Plus, the current ATWT is so out of control that I'm gonna have my hands full tryin' to get this show back to where it's tolerable. But I'm awaiting one event in particular before I start writing again. And it won't happen for a long time now. But I promise...I'll be back writing in no time. I just have to give my typing hands a rest for a little while.

'THE WORLD OF OAKDALE' STOPS TURNING! by Jack Rabette After almost 16 months of being on SONBC, The World Of Oakdale will no longer be turning come Friday, March 2nd. The day will not only be the show's final episode, but will also be their 300th episode. "I'm just tired. And as much as I hate to end it, it's just something that has to be done", says Executive Producer/Headwriter Dusty Alford. "I'm ecstatic that we've gotten to be on the 'air' so long. I just want to thank the fans for all their support." So where will Alford go now? And what exactly can we look for in the cliffhanger. Well, Alford isn't exactly sure of what he's doing next. "I've actually been throwing around a couple of fan fics in my head," says Alford. "One option would be to do a soap revolving around all the kids in Oakdale right now all grown up...amd set it in like 2021 or something. And the next option would be just to start over fom an episode that the show airs like I did with 'The World of Oakdale' ". As for the finale, Alford says you can expect plenty of bone chilling, edge of your seats scenes with a handful of romance and comedy and good ole fashioned soap opera drama. "Lots of reveals, explanations, and an explosive confrontation that will end with death", promises Alford. "It's going to be good. 'The World' might be coming to an end. But I'm going to make damn sure the fans are on the edges of their seats when it does."

I saw a young man last night on CSI: Las Vegas. His character's name was "Charlie" and I am telling you right NOW that boy can ACT HIS FUGGIN SOCKS OFF!! The down side: I don't have a name. But he was average height, pretty muscular, blode headed, and a damn good cryer! I'm sure if you look around the Internet, you oughta be able to come up with something.

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Lyla appears in the bridal room. She can't believe her little girl is finally getting married to the man of her dreams. She thought she'd never see the day. Lyla lectures Katie, saying they should have waited until Margo could come, but Katie insists that with her complicated relationship with Mike and all the things that have happened to them before, the sooner is the better. First, Mike and his best man Jack enter the church. As they stare out at the audience of some close family and friends, Katie enters walking down the aisle with Craig. Craig drops her off and Lyls stands as maid of honor. From the back of the church, a furious Maddie looks on. She plans to stop the wedding, but just as she goes to make a sound, someone grabs her from behind, covering her mouth and hauling her out of the church. She turns and is overjoyed to see Henry. Henry lectures to Maddie that now is Katie and Mike's one shot at happiness and not to ruin it. Maddie asks if Henry is still leaving town and Henry says that he was going to..until he saw all the cars at the church and he knew what was happening. Mike and Katie turn their head in just enough time to see Henry and Maddie taking their seats. The preacher asks them to exchange vows and they both exchange elaborate, beautiful, heartwrenching vows. As the couple kisses and the preacher announces them Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kasnoff, Maddie turns to see Henry crying but when she calls him on it, he makes up some lousy, comical lie. Lisa stays with Emma after the service and they continue their ongoing coversation about Grant and Dana that they were briefly discussing in between pauses in the wedding. As Emma takes down the floral decor she helped put up, Lisa aids her newest confidante. The ladies laugh and giggle and Lisa makes mention that Grant is having a birthday party, but she's not attending. In a dramatic case of irony, Lisa's cell rings and it's the Lakeview. The party they're hosting: Grant's. Lisa is not at all happy and informs Emma that if she has to be miserable, then Emma has to be right there beside her. Emma agrees, but soon gets called away when Holden drops by on his way to the barn saying that the stable boy noticed a mare having a colt. Emma goes to assist Holden and the stable boy, leaving Lisa to pack up the wedding decorations all by herself. Lucinda and Lily, who sat on complete opposite sides of the church, are finally forced to interact when Lucinda brings up Worldwide. Lily accuses her of starting to talk business just so they can talk. Lucinda informs Lily that she's just as disappointed in herself as Lily is with her. Lily confides in her mother that she doesn't ever remember not knowing who Lucinda was..until now. Lily tells of how much Lucinda has changed when it comes to Craig. Lucinda apologizes and it looks like their relationship might be recovering. Just then, Craig drops by Worldwide and slaps some legal papers on Lucinda's desk. Lily and Lucinda walk in and find theirselves face to face with Craig. Thinking that the papers are formal filings for a lawsuit, Lucinda chews Craig up and down, but before she can say anything else, Lily tells her mother to chill. Those papers are formal filings, making Craig part owner of Worldwide. Lucinda gows furious as Lily talks of how it was the only way she could convince Craig to back down from the lawsuit. Lucinda orders them both out of her site, violently slamming the door behind her. The door slamming cause an old photo of Lucinda and Lily catapulting to the ground and the frame shatters into a million pieces. Bob, Kim, and Nancy arrive back from the wedding. Nancy says that she's glad Mike and Katie finally said their "I Do's" after all this time. It was a lovely service. While Kim goes upstairs to change, Nancy and Bob sit and talk a while over a cup of Nancy's homemade hot apple cider. Bob talks about Chris, which peaks Nancy's curiousity. Nancy says that Bob has been rather hung up on Chris these past few weeks and for the last week or so, he's been acting very strange, very tense. Nancy suggests Bob go see a doctor and get checked out but Bob assures his mother that he's perfectly healthy. Kim comes back and Nancy leaves to help Katie pack for her honeymoon and to drop off a special quilt she made for Mike and Katie's wedding present. Kim asks Bob what he thought of the wedding and Bob says that he's glad it happened finally. It seemed that every time that Mike and Katie were going to be married, an Aussie ex-husband or a nerdy psycho would come in between them. Kim notices Chris hasn't come home since last night and wonders where he might be. Bob, all the while, flashes back to Ben telling him that Chris was most probably involved in the death of a senior citizen and then Ben telling him to tell Kim quickly. Bob snaps out of it and tells Kim, whose in mid-sentence, that they need to have a talk. As Bob tells Kim all about Chris, she slowly drops her mug to the table. Her eyes become foggy from tears swelling over them and then an intense burning, an anguish...a cold angry feeling comes over her. How can he make up such lies about our son, she thinks. Bob tells Kim of how he asked Ben to check into it. Kim realizes that this is what Bob has been acting so strangely about for the past week or so. Angrily, Kim lashes out at Bob. "Were you afraid I wasn't going to take it well? Is that why you waited so long to tell me? Beacuse I got news for ya, kiddo. I'm not taking it well! Who the hell are you to keep this from me about our own son? Our baby boy? Our Christopher? No! I'm not taking it well at all!! I mean, what mother in her right mind would take it well that her son quite possibly killed an elderly patient?...............Huh?!................" Bob says nothing. He just stares down at the table, fearing that if he looks up, his eyes might drown from all the tears. "DAMNIT! ANSWER ME!!!" Kim emotionally, furiously yells. We see Nancy standing halfway down the stairs. Bob and Kim have no idea she's there. Nancy's been listening ever since Bob said that Kim needed to listen very carefully because they needed to talk. Tears running down her face, Nancy quitely whispers "No, No, No" over and over again. The screen fades.

Jan the heroine! LOL! Imagine that..!

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Katie presses Maddie to tell her how this all her fault. Maddie angrily replies that any time it looks like Henry has finally moved on and is doing good for himself, Katie has to do something dramatic to reel him back in. She tells Katie that when she first came to town, she thought Mike was the bad guy and did everything she could to keep Mike and Katie from getting back together. She wanted Henry to be with Katie. But now she realizes what a piranha Katie is. Katie has enough and tells Maddie to shut it. Just then, Mike appears to further complicate things when he announces to Katie that they have to be at the church soon...to get married! Maddie hears this and goes beserk, telling them both they can go to hell! Outside, Mike comforts Katie and tells her that Maddie, the drama queen of Oakdale, should be the furthest thing from her mind. They leave to meet Lyla at the church. Dana and Grant rush into the house and find Milly playing with matches. A hysterical and emotional wreck, Milly keeps playing with the matches. Lighting one and blowing it out. Lighting one, waving it around as if to say 'Dare I?' and then blowing it out. Dana surprises Grant when she takes control of the situation. Dr. Lynne Michaels arrives, noticeably exhausted. She jokes to Grant and Dana that all this traveling from city to city is going to wreck her one day. Dr. Michaels sits down with Milly, but not before warning Grant and Dana that Milly has a family history of paranoia and schizophrenia and they need to deal with her in the most fragile manner. Dr. Michaels then notices that Milly's medication hasn't been being filled regularly like it should be. As Grant and Dr. Michaels tend to Milly, Dana leaves the room..cracking a smile. On her way to Emma's, Lisa decides to make a quick stop by WOAK. Kim joyfully greets her good friend and tells her that she has a few minutes to spare in between segments. Lisa grabs a letter out of her purse and shows it to Kim. Kim is just as taken back as Lisa was. Kim asks what Lisa thinks they could be doing and Lisa tells Kim that this is no time for sarcasm. Kim admits she wasn't being sarcastic, but now she realizes Chris and Roxie must either be an item or hook-up buddies. Lisa tells Kim that they have to do something about this. Kim agrees. Meanwhile, at Memorial, Ben runs into Bob and asks if he's told Kim about Chris yet. Bob admits he hasn't and Ben warns him that keeping secrets in a marriage is a sure fire way of destroying one. He knows because he almost lost Jessica because of a secret she was keeping. Ben tells Bob to tell Kim and Bob snaps back, "How dare you tell me what to do in my own marriage!" Ben quickly apologizes and runs off for a code blue. Luke is less than thrilled when he spots Will and Gwen enter Java. Gwen motions for Luke to come sit with them, but when he doesn't, Will goes to talk with him. Luke blasts Will for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Will says that he was only doing what he thought was best and Luke snaps back the last time he did what he thought was best, his aunt Rose was the unwilling victim. Will says that all of that was a long time ago and he and Luke's family have come to make amends. Luke tells Will that if he just needs to go. Later, Will confides in Gwen that though most of their conversation was negative and mostly Luke yelling at him, he somehow thinks that Luke might be losing steam in this race of anger he's been going through for the past few months.

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Roxie wakes up to find Chris nowhere in sight. She finds a note on the edge of the bed, thanking her for such an amazing ride last night and telling her that he will stop by later today to see how she's doing. Roxie's startled when there's a knock at the door. Thinking it's Chris, Roxie answers the door, dropping the bedsheet she's wrapped herself in. But it's not Chris. Lisa takes one look at Roxie and bursts into the room, hurriedly closing the door behind her. Lisa asks what Roxie was thinking. She might scare away tenants and potential customers. Roxie apologizes and rushes out after getting dressed. Later, as Lisa plans to leave, she finds the note Chris left. "Oh dear", she exclaims. Emma hits the snooze button and is awaken by the sound of humming. Her peaceful slumber comes to an abrupt hault when she recalls that Grant is staying with her for the week before he leaves town. As much as she despises the man, she thinks, she does owe him for all of his help in getting her farm back. The humming sound comes closer and closer to Emma's room and Emam tries to lock the door, not wanting to see Grant today. However, she can't get up and lock the door fast enough, revealing Grant bringing Emma her breakfast. Emma chuckles when she sees the eggs have been undercooked and the toast is hard as a brick, but she thnaks Grant for the kind gesture. Dana comes in crying and tells Grant that they have to go right away. Milly just called and something's not right. Gwen goes by the B.R.O. offices and is surprised when Barbara tells Gwen that she can have the day off. Gwen fires back that just because she's pregnant doesn't mean that she can't work. Barbara starts naming all sorts of incidents that could happen to harm Gwen and/or the baby and Gwen immediately realizes that Barbara is going to be tough to deal with. Barbara again calls Gwen out on her uneasiness regarding being pregnant. Gwen denies everything and tells Barbara that the best thing that ever happened to her and Will was this pregnancy. Barbara's sarcasm jumps out before she can take it back, as she scoffs that she figured their almost illegitimate marriage would have been the best thing to ever happen to them. Henry picks up his suitcase and walks to the door. Though he spent the night, he tells himself that he's leaving. He has to. It's now or never. Henry looks at the note he left for Maddie, still sitting where he left it last night. He guesses that Maddie was too tired to even notice it last night. As he shuts the door behind him, Maddie comes racing down the stairs. She reveals that she read the note, but didn't think he'd actually leave. Later, Katie comes by to beg Henry to stay but soon learns from Maddie that Henry's already left town. "And it's all your fault! But then again, when haven't you been the source of all of Henry's troubles?!", Maddie angrily shouts.
