AS THE WORLD TURNS:

On a videotape, Philip watches Craig confront Brock about the divorce he got in the Dominican Republic.

HIT THE SHEETS, HIT THE BOTTLE:

Andy admits his transgression and Frannie alerts Susan Stewart. Both women agree not to tell John.

SUSAN PUTS UP HER DUKES:

Either John Dixon is accepting his fate as Lucinda's husband or he's having change of heart about his wife, the control freak, because they're talking again, having lunch again, and getting back together to their lengthy debates about right and wrong. She was wrong to have Duke thrown out of the house this summer, Lucinda admits. But there's still no proof that he's Duke'a father, she adds. Get off the dime, John suggests, but Lucinda makes a few phone calls to find the boy's real daddy.

John's most recent sleeping-partner, Susan Stewart, has stopped letting fate take its course regarding her relationship with the ornery doc. She'll use every feminine wile she has (including feigning a fainting spell to get John's medical attention) to block Lucinda. The media mogul is wise to this act and eventually the two ladies get into a brawl.

THAT SEPTEMBER NIGHT:

At the Earl Mitchell Center for Runaways, Hey You remembers Brock Lombard all too well. Brock's the reason Bruce (Hey You's real name) ran away from home in the first place.

While the Dixons have a a lovely evening and Lucinda mentions some "unpleasantness" she had with Susan in passing, Dr.Stewart takes a prescription that a specialist warns her could become addictive. Susan would rather not woo back John with an injury, but she informs Lucinda that anytime she wants to tell John why she's in so much pain, she will.

CLOSING IN ON BROCK:

Philip doesn't buy it, and reports that his men have located Brock to take care of him. Elle tells Brock that her car was definitely tampered with. Brock is sure his father is responsible.

SELLING OUT:

Julie decided she wants a career modeling and agrees to Tonio's term: sex for opportunity.
