Steve hasn't given up hope,nor has Doreen.So sure that she will snag Steve,she is becoming careless.Popping by his office to comfort him,she mentions the letter and it's contents.Steve realizes Doreen should not know this,especially when she mentions Billy as Carolee's 'first born',something Carolee wrote that is not true.

Missy reveals to Luke that she stabbed her stepfather in defence of unwanted advances.She was arrested and has four years of parole remaining.Luke assures Missy his feelings haven't changed.He is still very much in love with her.

At The Medicine Man,Billy notices Carolee's watch when Doreen empties her purse.He attempts to speak to Cappy,who Steve sent to question Doreen,but is unable to get him alone.He rushes home to tell Steve.

Carolee's captor and Doreen's henchman Mel rapes her.He thinks nothing of it.Carolee tells him Doreen cannot be trusted and he'll be left in the lurch.

Billy arranges to meet Doreen at her hotel room and manages to get the watch.Cappy says they have to go to the police who inform them that the letter was written on notepaper from the Madison Arms.

Against police advice,Steve and Billy continue to investigate.They follow Doreen to a warehouse.Steve spies on Doreen and Mel arguing over money.He wants to kill Carolee now and shoves Doreen against the wall and pulls out a gun.Doreen defends herself with the gun she brought along to kill Carolee.

Carolee stands mute as Doreen and Mel both fire.Mel is dead and Doreen seriously wounded.

The police question Carolee and she tells them all she knows about Mel is his name and that he was a Vietnam veteran.She denies being sexually assaulted.

Steve tells Mona and Nola about what happened.Mona summons Doreen's father to town.

Jason contacts Nola,saying he knows a search is out for him.He states soon the divorce will be final and she will have her share of the restaurant.If she continues looking for him,he reveal that he left her after finding her in Colin's bed.Nola is scared as Carolee,for one,suspects Nola isn't sure of the baby's paternity.How can she ensure Carolee stays quiet?

Doreen's condition is not good.She seems to have lost the will to live.Steve tells Matt that the minute he told her of a possibility of leukemia,she took it as fact.She believed she was dying,but why she acted as she did,he can't fathom.

Carolee confides to Maggie that she was raped and she feels dirty.Maggie tries to convince her she is not to blame.

Nola fears a letter from Jason to his mother will have her redoubling her efforts to locate him.

MJ wonders if Colin could be the father of Nola's baby.He denies it,saying Nola insistes Jason is the father.MJ still has doubts.

Test results show Doreen does not have leukemia.If only she had undertaken the further tests Steve recommended.

Mike is about to go into surgery.He may walk again,but his bitter resentment of Sara may hinder his progress.Sara pleads with Mike to continue their marriage.After surgery,there is hope for Mike to make a full recovery.The next ten days will be crucial.Sara desperately holds on to the belief she can salvage her marriage,despite Matt's attitude.

Such a great storyline. James played her heart out during that storyline and Warren Burton's Eddie Dorance still, for me at least, ranks as one of AMC's best villians. Not as cartoony as Billy Clyde or Ray, but just as entertaining and Warren Burton was so good.
