I'm confused, though...or maybe I'm just being nitpicky....but the ATWT/GL stuff isn't adding up. All the ATWT stuff happened this year and the GL stuff happened....now? I'm soo lost. But I like it

Holden arrives at the Hughes residence and asks to speak with Erin. He scolds the child for stealing from him and returning his stuff once she got what she wanted out of it. Erin quickly apologizes and hands the safe access card to him. Though Erin is a little displeased because she had big plans for the card, she's even more upset when Kim enlightens her that because of all of this, she is going to begin helping Holden at the farm. Mike rushes to the doctors and asks them how his fiancee is doing. They promise to give him an update as soon as they know something and as soon as the test results come in. Margo blames herself for not getting there faster and is shocked when Lyla admits to her about the clue she found in the sand and how she remembered it was Panzico's address. Jack and Tom arrive and Nancy phones Margo to find out how Katie is. Just then, the doctors walk up with weird looks on their faces. Will, Maddie, Luke, and Gwen all sit down for a good time at the nightclub, Ice. Will and Gwen appear happy to have finally told Barbara, though she has refused speaking to them. Jason and Henry recall the night they labored over the Thanksgiving feat they had ready for Katie's return but are called with news of Katie. Henry decides that he and Jason and Maddie should all go cheer up Katie and go to Ice to break the news to Maddie. Once there, Henry stays in the vehicle and asks Jason to go in, tell Maddie to meet Henry otuside, and he'll tell her more details then. Gwen turns around and spot Jason looking for someone. Under hear breath, she mutters "No, it can't be". Andy and Emily arrive at Susan's to tell her of their engagement. Susan recalls spending Thanksgiving with Aaron and Alison and asks what Andy and Emily did. Susan is floored when she sees Emily's hand and asks if that's what she thinks it is. Emily says it is and Susan gives Andy her blessing. When she asks how the Hughes family recated, she chuckles inwardly when she hears that Kim fainted, but is okay now. Right away, Susan starts handing the happy couple all sorts of business cards for caterers, photographers, florists, reception planners, wedding planners, etc. Later, Emily confides that this is just what she thought would happen.

*SPECIAL NOTES* The World Of Oakdale will be pre-empted Thursday, Nov. 23rd and Friday, Nov. 24th. Sorry for the long episode. Don't get used to it, though. This long format just ain't my cup of tea Iva calls in the middle of the Snyder's Thanksgiving dinner and apologizes for not coming, saying that the kids are sick and she's coming down with something, too. Lily addresses the tension in the room and Emma denies that there is any as she and Lisa lock eyes. Holden excuses himself and says that he has an errand to run. No one knows that Holden has noticed he is missing his Worldwide safe access card. Emma stares as Grant and Lisa smooch and cuddle and do everything execpt "the deed" on her kitchen counter. Emma, disgusted, walks out for a breath of fresh air and Meg advises her mother to let it go and enjoy her holiday. Later...Dusty, Meg, and Nicole say goodbye again and head for Louisiana. Meanwhile, Lucinda and Lily go looking for Holden. As they help Emma clean up, Luke and Maddie wonder how Will and Gwen's Thanksgiving is going. Barbara, Jennifer, Nick, Will, Gwen, and Johnny are all pleased when they receive a call from Paul, wishing them a happy holiday. Later, Will raises a toast to his and Gwen's happiness...as he announces in front of everyone, much to Gwen's chagrin, that he is now a married man. Barbara is livid and soon, the small family reunion is spoiled. Jennifer warns her mother not to mess things with Will up...or she'll never forgive herself. Barbara thanks Jennifer for coming and jokes that if Johnny wants to stay behind, she can FedEx him back to Paris in a few weeks. Will and Gwen get the 'okay' from Jennifer to return to the suite as Jennifer, Nick, and Johnny head home home for Paris. Ben and Jessica brief Isaac, Bonnie, and Curtis on the recent events in Oakdale and Bonnie is shocked to hear that Lisa has a long lost granddaughter. Ben, Isaac and Curtis all have a man talk and before long, dinner is over. Ben and Jessica share goodbyes with the three and Bonnie promises to phone her mother a week before her due date. Chris is shocked to see that Emily is with his half brother and calls her on it. Andy stands up for his love with Emily and Kim tells Andy to keep it down. Andy, in a once-in-a-lifetime scene, shouts that he could yell it from the rooftops! He's so in love with Emily Stewart!! Emily blushes and even tells Andy to quit making such a big deal out of it. Nancy thinks that Andy has a really romantic heart and later, shares a private conversation with him...during which she hands him something. Andy stand son top of the dinner table, in the middle of the turkey, dressing, cranberries...and tells the room of the way that he and Emily met all those years ago. Andy tells Emily that he would have never guessed in a million years that he would fall for her..but he did..head over heels. Andy jumps off the table and gets on one knee. While music from Rascal Flatts's "God Bless The Broken Road" cues up, Andy asks Emily if she will marry him. Kim faints. Roxie rolls her eyes and she and John quickly realize that they have their work cut out for them. A montage of Andy and Emily starts playing, but is soon interrupted when... Panzico demands that Lyla hand over the money to make up for the big diamond heist he had planned that Lyla squealed about. When Lyla refuses, he tightens his grip on Katie and threatens her life again. Lyla lunges for Panzico and Katie breaks free. Just as Panzico raises up his gun, Katie take off running to step in front of Lyla. Panzico fires his gun as Jack tackles him from the side. Mike runs for Katie. Katie trips on the root of a tree buried in the ground and goes flying, eventually landing and hitting her head on the exact same branch. Katie lies unconcious as Mike tearfully begs Katie to come back to him. Though she's not, Mike starts to think that Katie's dead and screams "NNNOOOO!!!". Out on a split screen of Jack arresting Panzico, Margo and Lyla clutched together in tears and fear, and Mike with an unconcious Katie.

Home For The Holidays!! As The World Turns fans might remember a time when family and friends gathered around for Thanksgiving and traded knives in the back for a knife in the turkey. Well, that's exactly what The World Of Oakdale plans to do this Thanksgiving holiday. "I think family is a very integral and important part of the show and we sometimes forget that", says Executive Producer/Headwriter Dusty Alford. Beginning Tuesday November 21st, the follwoing actors (and characters) make a brief return to Oakdale to celebrate Turkey Day with their respective families.... Jennifer Ferrin -as- "Jennifer Munson Kasnoff" Jeff Hephner -as- "Nick Kasnoff" Grayson McCouch -as- "Dusty Donovan" Marie Wilson -as- "Meg Snyder Donovan" Ernest Waddell -as- "Curtis Harris" Paul Taylor -as- "Isaac Jenkins" Napiera Danielle -as- "Bonnie McKechnie Jenkins" and assuming the role of "Dr. Chris Hughes" is Strong Medicine alumni Brennan Elliott.

Emma opens the door and is ecstatic to find Dusty, Meg, and little Nicole. She wonders aloud how they flew to Louisiana, got settled so fast, and had time to return home for Thanksgiving. Dusty admits that they never really left. He says that after saying their goodbyes, their flight got delayed because of a tropical storm wreaking havoc down south. Instead of coming back and ruining the surprise, they rented a room at a nice hotel and came over this morning. However, they still plan on leaving right after dinner. Emma is heartbroken, but so glad to see them. Barbara hosts a Thanksgiving dinner in her suite at the Lakeview. Will and Gwen still don't understand why she refused Kim's invitation to dinner, but Barbara enlightens them that it was because of Emily's prescence. Just then, the doorbell rings and Barbara is ecstatic to see Nick, Jennifer, and little Johnny. Jennifer praises Nick's work in Paris and talks of how they may soon be startong a new fashion line in London, but nothing's for certain. Nick asks if Barbara knows what Katie and Mike are doing for Thanksgiving and Barbara breaks the news of Katie's disappearance and how everyone is out searching for her. Before they break bread, they say a small prayer for Katie, Mike, Jack, Margo, and Lyla. Then, they take time to remember Hal in a very touching scene. Grant and Lisa find themselves all alone on Thanksgiving and though Lisa couldn't be more satisfied, due to the fact that she and Grant have more alone time now, Grant suggests they go to Emma's anyways. While a not-so-happy-anymore Lisa gets ready to go, Grant congratulates himself, saying that this will surely make Emma jealous to the point of insansity. Later, they arrive at Emma's. Jessica is overwhelmed when she opens the door to find Isaac, Bonnie, and Curtis. Bonnie and Isaac break the news that they are expecting a little girl in March. Ben is overjoyed and so are Jessica and Curtis. Curtis tells of his academics and how proud he is of himself, saying that he never though five or six years ago, that he'd be going to college and visiting his mother and father for Thanksgiving. Ben tells Curtis that he's proud of him and they settle in for a good meal. Kim opens the door and almost has a stroke when she sees Chris. He explains that they really needed him at the hospital, but then he reminded himself that Thanksgiving is all about family and he decided to come home. As Bob and Chris catch up, another kock at the door comes and it's John and Roxie. Though some are reluctant to invite them in, Nancy breaks the ice with a warm gesture and says that it's the holidays and all grudges should be set aside. In North Carolina, Panzico throws Katie back into ehr holding cell and goes off the find Lyla. Soon, Lyla comes upon Panzico while the others search for him. She thinks he's asleep, but is sadly mistaken. Meanwhile, Margo finds Katie and after a brief reunion, sets her free. The guard starts to come up behind Margo, but Mike knocks him out and Mike and Katie see each other for the first time in a while. They find Jack and hurry to find Lyla. It looks like they'll never find her...until they hear her arguing with Panzico. Another of Panzico's guards grabs Katie while nobody is looking and escorts her into the confrontation between Lyla and Panzico. Panzico grabs her, pointing his gun at Katie's throat.

Grant refuses Emma's invitation to join her and her family for Thanksgiving dinner. He says that he and Lisa already made plans with Roxie and her new man friend. Emma is ecstatic though when Lucinda, Sierra, Lily, Holden, Lucy, Luke, Maddie, Faith, Natalie, Jack, Carly, Parker, J.J., and Sage all come over for the Snyder's annual Thanksgiving dinner. Emma asks where Craig is and Sierra says that he was having dinner alone to avoid any scrutiny. They all discuss their opinion on whether or not Craig has truly changed...but none seems to buy it. They also all welcome Lucy back from the hospital. Just then, there's a knock at the door and everyone wonders who it could be.... Tom, Emily, and Erin all settle in for Thanksgiving at the Hughes residence. Kim, Bob, and Nancy debate on whether or not to confront Erin about her lies and her obvious connection to Jason Summers. Just then, Andy walks through the door...back from Spain. As Andy and Emily reunite, the doorbell rings and everyone wonders who it could be.... Ben and Jessica sit down at their home for a quick bite to eat before they return to work. Jessica talks of the murder trail that has officially ruined her holiday spirit. Ben tells of how short handed they've been at the hospital lately and how he's debationg whether or not to fill in tonight. As he's talking, the doorbell rings and the happy couple wonders who it is... John and Roxie cancel their dinner plans with Grant and Lisa and upon hearing that Andy is back in town, they decide to crash the Hughes's holiday dinner. Henry and Jason are worried when they can't get through to Margo, Jack, Mike, or Lyla. They look at the Thanksgiving meal they prepared and worry that nobody will be there to eat it. In the Carolinas, the search team slowly exits their vehicle and find that they're in the middle of nowhere. Jack worries aloud to Lyla if she was right about her "hunch". Lyla tells Jack to suck it up and be a man...as the team looks for Katie. Meanwhile, a guard grabs Katie up and Panzico threatens Katie that if she says one word, she might just end up like almsot all turkeys on Thanksgiving.

This week on The World of Oakdale... The search for Katie comes to a close... JACK: I don't like this. Lyla, are you sure about this? MARGO: Hold on little sis. We're coming for ya... AND THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY!!.... PANZICO: Give me the money or you can say goodbye to your precious... *Lyla lunges for Panzico* *A gunshot rings out and mutiple screams are heard...* MIKE: *with an unconcious Katie* Katie, come on. Wake up. Katie! NNNNOOO!!!! And then.... *Shots of families having Thanksgiving dinner* You'll never guess who all returns for the holidays! *Shots of doors opening and families gasping* All this and more....stay tuned to SONBC!

Stellar ending!!

I wonder how everyone is going to get out of the fire *look of terror and concern* Also curious what Lexie's fate is.

Henry tells Kim that Erin Spillers doesn't exist. Kim wonders how that can be; and if it's true, who's the girl that has been staying with them? Henry replies that the only Erin that he found was an Erin Summers...and immediately after saying the name, Henry realizes (and so does Kim) why Jason seemed so startled when Erin interrupted their meeting the other night. Will finds Gwen at the Insteenct offices and wonders what's wrong...since she only works when she's upset. She talks about hiding the truth from Barbara and Will announces that he agrees that they need to tell Barbara that they're married. Barbara walks in and says "You're what?!?" Margo and Jack question Lyla what hunch she has and if she's sure that they're going to the right place. Margo hopes that they have Katie home in time for Thanksgiving..as they arrive at 243 Embassy. Little do they know that Panzico is waiting on them..only yards away. Across town, Dusty and Meg return to the Snyder farmhouse and share touching goodbyes with Emma, Luke, Maddie, Faith, and Natalie. Holden and Lily arrive to pick up the girls and share a touching goodbye with them, as well. They scoop up little Nicole and vow to their family that they will keep in touch. Katie breaks free from her holding cell and sprints towards freedom, unaware that Margo, Jack, Lyla, and Mike are facing off with Panzico.

Kim asks Henry to return to his P.I. roots and run a background check on one Erin Spillers. Later, Henry returns with some news that might startle Kim, he says. Across town, Gwen and Carly have lunch at Al's and Gwen talks of how close Barbara seems to be to finding out that she and Will got married. Carly promises to keep Barbara at bay for a while, but suggests they tell Barbara sooner, rather than later. Emma shows up at Grant's with a fruit basket to make amends for the fight with Lisa. Lisa accepts the gift, unaware that Emma has gotten crafty and hidden a listening device in their suite while Lisa admires the fruit basket. Dusty takes Meg out to the Snyder pond and is humored when Meg starts worrying about Nicole. Dusty calms her fears and the two recall their run in at the pond when Meg returned to town. They begin making love and later, make plans to come back for Thanksgiving.

Due to some computer problems and my personal life going haywire this weekend, I will be posting Episodes 234 and 235 a bit late. Expect them to be posted no later than 11:30 PM Central today...

End of 'World' for McCouch & Wilson Dusty and Meg are set to exit Oakdale this week In a shocking casting decision, The World Of Oakdale has let Grayson McCouch and Marie Wilson go from the show. Fans might be shocked, as well. "I expect they will be," says Executive Producer/Headwriter Dusty Alford. "I think the fans loved this couple and I know some of them will hate to see them leave, but really, there's just no room for them on the canvas at this time." McCouch took the news gracefully, but Wilson had a harder time accepting it. When asking if fans can expect to see Dusty and Meg home for Thanksgiving, the most important holiday for the Snyders, as well as other special occasions, Alford remained tight-lipped. "Mr. McCouch and Mrs. Wilson were very gracious and I, along with the rest of the cast and crew, will miss them dearly," said Alford, obviously dodging the question at hand. Throughout the past few months, the couple has been through the ringer. Meg told Dusty she was pregnant, only for him to believe that it was her jealous attempt at keeping him from Lucy. Dusty spent one night in bed with Lucy, who left a short time later. He kept it a secret, even after proposing to Meg. The tryst came to light when Lucy returned to town pregnant from her one night stand with Dusty, but Lucy soon miscarried and Meg, feeling betrayed, left Oakdale to clear her head. When she returned, she set a few ground rules for Dusty and soon, the couple found themselves at the wedding altar. However, Meg's ex-husband arrived in just enough time to stop the wedding for a brief moment and tell Meg the real reason their marraige went down the drain and to give Dusty and Meg his blessing. All the commontion sent Meg into premature labor, but the baby (and Meg) came out of the ordeal alright. And now, the couple and their infant daughter are headed to the swampy bayous of Louisiana for a fresh start. McCouch and Wilson last air on Friday, November 17.

Lyla and Mike go into the warehouse behind an armed Jack and a worried Margo. They all make plans to split up and look for Katie. While yelling for Katie, Lyla hears a cat run off and finds some old food morsels in the dirt. Beside the food, she finds tracks..where it looks as if several people have walked. Several clues later, Lyla finds herself in the middle of Katie's previous holding cell. Just as she thinks that Katie didn't leave any clues...she sees Katie's message in the sand and guesses from the dirt kicked over part of it that she was drawing the note when she was moved. Lyla reads the part that says "Don't go" over and over again but tells Katie under her breath that if anyone blames Katie's stubborn nature on her (Lyla), then they were correct to assume so. Lyla cries out for the rest of the gang that she didn't find anything...but she has a hunch. Craig assures Sierra that his love for his daughter and his concern for her safety and health is what brought him to the hospital, but a nurse interrupts the akward conversation by saying that Lucy has requested her father if he's there. Craig rushes to Lucy's bedside and assures Lucy that he's there for her. Lucy tells her father that though she didn't believe him at first, the fact that he came when she called and wasn't tying up with anyone in the waiting area...is enough proof for her that he's a changed man. Meanwhile, Sierra walks upon Lily in the chapel and asks what's bothering her sister. They talk about the situation with Lucinda and Holden and the vice presidency and Sierra really gets through to Lily that asking Lucinda to choose between them was un-Lily-like and pure selfishness. Lily reiterates what Holden told her earlier about her being jealous and though Lily denies it to the death in front of Sierra, she slowly begins to inwardly realize that she is, in fact, jealous of her own husband. Kim and Nancy see that Erin ahs come back from her daily jog and the two ladies comment on what a healthy lifetsyle Erin lives when she's not out on the streets. Erin says that when you're thrown out on the street, you learn to work with what you have in order to obtain what you don't have. Erin breaks down, thanks to Kim and Nancy's prying, and reveals that she was only four when her father shot himself because his alcoholic wife had driven him to the point of hysteria. Later, her mother was sent to a rehab facility for alcohol, but ended up taking the place hostage and eventually being shot down by the police. This was by the age of eight. She says that her brother tried to care for her, but he was soon stricken with leukemia and died when she was twelve. Nancy is touched and later, after Erin has left, tells Kim that she is glad that the girl finally spoke her mind but holes in her story have Nancy doubtful. Kim tells her mother in law that she's not the only one that doesn't buy Erin's story and excuses herself. In private, Kim makes a call to Henry...and asks for a favor. Dusty and John hold a conversation while Meg and little Nicole sit with Emma. In an interesting camera trick, Dusty and Meg tell their stories to each of their respective parents, creativly finishing each other's sentences. Dusty and Meg tell of all the hardship that they have had to face in Oakdale and how the birth fo little Nicole has totally gave them a new perspective, but not wanting her to grow up in a "soap opera"-like life filled with drama, betrayal, lust, deceit, etc., they have made the decision to move to Louisiana. John and Emma are respectively crushed. Moreso Emma than John. John wishes Dusty all the luck in the world, but Emma worries that Nicole won't ever know her. Emma and Meg have a heart to heart about their miscommunication regarding the Josh issue and vow never to let anything as petty seperate them again. Emma asks when they're leaving and when Meg answers "tomorrow", Emma is even more crushed! Emma suggests that she take little Nicole for the night and let Dusty and Meg have one final night in Oakdale together. Pan out on a split screen of Dusty leaving John's house and Meg leaving Emma's farmhouse...both saying "I hope we're doing the right thing."

R.S.V.P. me to dinner with the Coopers! At least they're half-civilized...

Sierra scolds Craig for taking advantage of a medical emergency with their only child, their baby daughter, and making it the time to showcase this new "changed man" that he claims to be. Craig insists Sierra that he does care about Lucy and that he has changed, though not everyone believes him. He talks of how skeptical of himself he would be, too...but tell Sierra to face the facts. Dr. Schiller returns and tells everyone that Lucy has a mild pelvic infection and though such a thing is usually very serious, Lucy's body seems to be attacking the infection at every which way and Dr. Schiller says that Lucy should be homeward bound in a week or so. Carly comes up on Gwen at the Insteenct offices and asks her sister where she's been. Gwen tells Carly of how she and Will had a small vacation to just get away and Carly tells of Parker crushing on his first girl. Gwen asks to speak with her sister over at her house and the two begint o leave, but are stopped dead when Roxie enters the room. Roxie verbally attacks Gwen for making her lif hell, but Gwen retaliates saying that if anyone is to blame, it is her. Carly sends Roxie on her way and the two sisters agree to meet up at Carly's later that night. Mike asks Lyla if she's sure that the bracelet she found is Katie's or if it's not just another trap. Lyla says that she'd know Katie's bracelet anywhere and the search team heads for the abandoned warehouse where Katie was initially being held captive, hoping to find Katie, but unaware that Panzico moved her. Meanwhile, Jason and Henry talk about the other night during the meeting with Kim when the girl popped her head through the door. Jason tells Henry that he and Kim just need to drop it. He thought he saw someone he knew but it wasn't them. That's all that happened. However, Henry can't help but think that something's up. Later, while the two men clean up around the house, Henry stumbles upon Katie's real lucky bracelet. Dusty and Meg make a final decision, leaving readers in the cold as to what they have decided. Meg tells Dusty that she's going to go tell her mother and brother and cousin and encourages him to go tell John and Barbara. Dusty makes a mention of how he can't believe he's actually married to her. Meg tells him to face the facts..he's stuck with her for life. Dusty says that he wouldn't have it any other way. Later, Meg arrives at Emma's with little Nicole in tow and asks Emma to sit down. They need to talk. Meanwhile, Dusty arrives at John's doorstep, dreading doing the same thing Meg is doing right now.

Lucy yells in pain as she's brought into Memorial. Dr. Schiller takes a look and sends Lucy off for some tests, constantly re-assuring Sierra, Lucinda, Lily, and Holden that all will be fine. Lucinda scolds Lily for her reckless behavior back at the mansion and Sierra and Holden have to break them up again. Craig arrives and all of them roll their eyes at Craig's "ploy to look like he cares". Later, Holden pulls Lily to the side and asks what the hell her problem is. Without even saying anything, he immediately knows the answer. Lily's jealous of him! Panzico brings Katie some food and suggests she not do anything to tick him off or she won't be getting any food or water for quite some time. Katie asks Panzico how come he's using her as bait for Lyla and Panzico answers that the only person she seemed to talk about on the cruise was her "baby girl" Katie. Katie is touched, but also fears for her mother's safety if she's out looking for her. Meanwhile, Jack and Mike run upon Margo and Lyla and Jack scolds them for endangering themselves. Margo and Jack showdown over who has the authority in the search and Lyla cries out that she sees something. She walks over and finds Katie's lucky bracelet and suggests they all keep searching for her "baby girl". Barbara takes Gwen and Will's silence as proof that there's more to them that meets the eyes. Will and Gwen excuse themselves and Barbara returns to work, still wondering what Will and Gwen are up to. Will and Gwen meet up with Luke and Maddie at the new Oakdale nightclub Ice and Will tells Gwen that they need to tell Barbara ASAP about their engagement. Will reasons that the sooner she finds out, the sooner she can start to accept it. Luke encourages them to just shrug it all of and have a good time. Grant and a few security guards are finally able to seperate Emma and Lisa and both aldies quickly apologize for their behavior. Emma notices the smug look on Grant's face and realizes that this was all part of his plan to make her envious of his so-called "relationship" with Lisa. However, she debates trying to tell Lisa anything because she doesn't want to cause another outburst. Both ladies continually apologize for their behavior and Emma gives Grant and Lisa her blessing. Although, as soon as she walks off, she vows revenge on that "smug bastard" for all that he's done.

Getting rid of Renee Jones? *skeptical stare* You might regret that in the future if it's not done properly...

More Peyton List, dangit!!

Oooohhhhh.........anesthesia! LOL!

Drug induced coma? From what drug?

Lily arrives at Lucinda's office, wanting to know what she wanted to see her about. Lucinda starts talking all business with Lily, and eventually Lily just explodes. She scolds her mother for not picking her or Sierra for the vice presidency. Lucinda fires back that Lily's just throwing Sierra's name in the mix to make up for the fact that Lily wanted the vice presidency all to herself. Sierra hears her name being thrown around and enters to an all-out verbal brawl between Lily and Lucinda. She breaks up the fight and tells the ladies to calm down. They calm down for a few minutes, but are back at it again in no time. Soon, all three women are stopped dead in their tracks when they hear Lucy yell in pain. Barbara immerses herself in work and collecting ideas for a new ad campaign. Will and Gwen come by, asking what Barbara wanted to see them about. Barbara breaks the news of Craig's return to the two teenagers and immediately, Will wants to know where to find him. Gwen calms him down and wants to know how Craig was released. Barbara enlightens them and tells them that she is currently collaborating with some lawyers to make sure John Dustin is fully protected. Barbara then inquires why Will and Gwen have become so strange since they returned from vacation. Will and Gwen are taken back by Barbara's motherly intuition that something isn't right and unbeknownst to Barbara, they hide their wedding ring-adorned hands behind their back! Holden arrives at Bob and Kim's and tells them of Erin coming to eat supper with them and his wallet mysteriously disappearing after colliding with Erin in the kitchen. Kim tells Bob that she's had enough of this and they talk about sending Erin out, but Nancy volunteers to talk the teenager into giving Holden his wallet back. Nancy finds Erin in her bedroom listening to the new Justin Timberlake CD that "Bob and Kim bought" her. In a touching scene, Nancy appears to have gotten through to Erin, who returns Holden's wallet to him and promises to never do it again. Erin retreats back to her room in a puddle of tears. Miraculously, she stops crying the minute she closes her bedroom door, pulls out Holden's access card to the Worldwide safe and congratulates herself on a job well done. Emma goes to the Lakeview, hoping to find Meg and talk things over with her, but the desk clerk tells her that the couple left with their infant headed to the mall more than three hours ago. He asks if she would like to leave a message, but she declines. Lisa appears in the lobby and asks what brought Emma over. Emma tells her about her argument with Meg and Lisa tells her that Meg will eventually come around. Emma politely asks how Grant is doing and Lisa pulls out the proofs for their Christmas card. Something inside Emma just pops and she dares Lisa to continue her relationship with Grant! Lisa fires back that maybe she needs to go milk a cow because she's just jealous that Grant doesn't liek her! Emma becomes enraged and tells Lisa that she and Grant had something she'd never be able to understand...they had love! Then she slaps Lisa! Lisa slaps Emma! Pretty soon, an all-out senior citizen catfight breaks out in the Lakeview lobby!! Grant walks in to see all the drama and revels in his victory....

Don't grieve for Lisa just yet. NOBODY just uses Lisa Grimaldi and gets away with it!!
