I’m up to April 20, 1999.
A moody Danny gets himself arrested for assaulting a cop while helping a family crony move illegal goods. Meanwhile, Carmen shows up at Ben’s place just as Blake is leaving and says she’s accepting his offer to be their family lawyer. Blake isn’t happy and tells him he can’t do it, but Carmen says this is a one-time offer and he better take it because it’s more important than his ‘little girlfriend’. Blake gives Ben an ultimatum on her way out and says if he still wants to be with her, he will say no to Carmen and meet her later. Carmen then tells Ben she needs him to get Danny out of jail. At the police station, Pilar shows up to support Danny and David Grant spills the beans to her that the Santos family is the largest crime mob in SF. She can’t believe it, and Carmen and Ben show up as they’re discussing it and Carmen tells Pilar not to listen to David. Ben is able to strong-arm Frank and get Danny off, which pleases Carmen and she proclaims to Ben that he now officially works for the Santos family. Later, Ben tells Blake he’s working for Carmen and she’s pissed off. She then sees a photographer outside and starts to fear for her boys’ safety. He tries to smooth it over and kisses her, which she plays along to, until he leaves. When alone, she calls a blacksmith and requests all her locks to be changed. Cassie comes by while the locks are getting changed and tells Blake this won’t stop Ben from getting to her because she has to emotionally get rid of Ben too. Cassie leaves and Ben eventually comes home and realizes his key doesn’t work and the lock was changed. He yells out at Blake to let him in, but she tells him to go away. He says he’s never going away and busts open the door! He tries to seduce her, but it doesn’t work this time and Blake finally stands up to him and says they are never going to work out. He keeps trying but she says if he wants her tonight, he’ll have to rape her and then she’ll make sure he rots in jail for the rest of his miserable life. He then asks if she is going back to Ross and she says it’s not his business and he finally leaves, which makes Blake proud of herself that she finally didn’t let him get to her.
Danny tries to convince Pilar that their family isn’t bad, and then forces her to go back to school by arranging her flight back. Pilar later eyes Bill at the bar and starts to flirt with him and gives him a fake name. She asks if he knows Danny and Bill says unfortunately yes, and she then lies by saying Danny tried to force himself on her and she needs Bill’s help. They go to the diner to talk and Pilar uses him to get information about Danny. Bill tells her all about Danny and Michelle’s ‘marriage’ and Carmen being the big bad head of the Santos family, ordering people to be killed, which shocks Pilar. She asks if she could stay at his place for a few days and he says yes, but Danny walks in and demands she go with him. He reveals that’s his sister Pilar and Bill is shocked. Danny forces her to go to the airport, but Bill grabs him and punches him and they start to fight. Pilar breaks it up and Danny takes her outside and finally admits the truth, that Michelle killed Mick. She gets angry and says Michelle must pay for what she did, which shows Danny that for better or worse, she’s a ‘real’ Santos. Later, Pilar confronts her mother and says she knows who she is and what she does. Pilar says she’s leaving the family because she can’t stand what they do, but Carmen says she can’t because she funds her current lifestyle. Pilar says if she has to choose between her blood money and a city shelter, she chooses the shelter, which shocks and hurts Carmen.
Harley convinces Phillip to apologize to Jim, so Phillip interrupts Jim/Beth’s date to apologize. Jim gets angry at him, but Phillip offers more money to keep him and Susan in town, which Jim accepts after Beth also encourages him to stay. Meanwhile, at the diner, Susan also tries to convince her ‘grandpa Buzz’ (LOL) to keep them in SF, and once they realize Jim decided they’re staying, they celebrate. Susan later runs into a young kid playing a video game at the diner, who btw is the guy that later played Will from ATWT (Jesse Soffer - 4/14)! We then see this kid steal money out of the cash register after Selena leaves it unattended. Jesse catches him stealing the money and confronts him outside, recognizing the kid as ‘Max’, who is from his town, Point Lester, and has spent time in juvenile hall in the past. Susan walks outside and covers for him, saying that’s her friend. Jesse lets him go, but warns him to behave before leaving. Max then pressures Susan to give him his money back, but she refuses and he calls her a little girl. She says she’s about to be 14 and he doesn’t believe it. He says he needs the money because he’s hungry and doesn’t have much of a family. He assumes she’s a spoiled rich girl because of her Spaulding name, but she tells him about her past and being adopted. She gives him the money and he leaves. She later tells Harley about this Max boy that she met and Harley realizes she has a crush on him. Susan then talks about wanting to be ‘sexy’ and grow up fast so boys will like her.
Selena and Drew discuss how happy Drew is now, and since Selena was able to easily find Drew’s mother, she wants her help in finding other relatives of Dorothy Nickerson because she could have a whole family out there she doesn’t know, which concerns Selena. Buzz and Selena try and tell her this isn’t a good idea, but eventually Buzz says he’ll help her. Privately, Selena casually kisses Buzz which surprises them both and they walk away without talking about it. Jesse later warns Buzz/Selena to stop giving Drew false hope or else he’ll tell Drew the truth. The next day, Drew continues to be so happy about the idea of a family and Jesse can’t help but tell her how beautiful she is when she’s smiling so much. He then draws her portrait (like he did with Michelle in the past), and then watches her undress from behind the folded screen. She turns on music (Cher) and wants to dance and they eventually fall into each other on the couch and they end up kissing passionately. Jesse later calls his realtor and says he’s no longer looking for a place to live and he’s happy staying where he is now (with Drew). Meanwhile, Drew goes back to her “mom’s” gravesite and gushes about kissing Jesse and how things are looking up for her. Max then walks up and asks her what she’s doing. Drew says she’s visiting her mother and he says that can’t be true, because Dorothy is HIS mother! Drew tells him how she recently found out about Dorothy, but he thinks it’s a scam and demands she leave. She tells him about Ron and he says there is no Ron, so she shows him her birth certificate but he says it’s a fake and someone is fooling her. She’s still insistent that Dorothy must not have told Max about having another child, so she offers him money to talk to her and he accepts. They go to her loft and he realizes she’s rich. He tells her a little about Dorothy and how he’s bouncing from friend and foster homes, so she offers him to stay at her loft with her so they can get to know each other better. She leaves and lets him hang out alone, and he says to himself that he can’t believe this rich girls really thinks they’re related. Later, Jesse walks in and roughs him up a bit, asking why he’s there, but Drew comes in and tells Jesse that’s her brother. She then calls Selena to come over and tells her she found her brother, which shocks Selena. Jesse tells Selena that Max now sees a goldmine in Drew and will con her, so he has to tell Drew the truth now, but Selena says absolutely not. Jesse then admits he cares for Drew and is falling in love.
Buzz finally confronts Selena about their kiss, which she tries to dodge. He corners her and says yes, he’s attracted to her, but he can’t do anything about it. Selena then says she always thought he was attractive.
Annie once again visits Holly and they discuss their similarities of loving children. They become friendly and bond over their pasts, with both of them asking each other to be friends as they hug and vow to get their lives back in order. Fletcher then comes in and Annie leaves. Fletcher surprises Holly with a day out of the facility with both him and Meg, which excites her. They go on a picnic and have a sweet bonding moment, with Fletcher saying he always thought of her and Holly saying she never moved his stuff at their house. They reminisce about their engagement and wedding, and then kiss. Fletcher then gets up to tell the nurse they’re ready to head back, but his wallet falls out of his pocket and Holly opens it and sees a picture of a woman. She asks who it is and he says it’s Meg’s teacher (Kate), who is so great with her, but he admits they got close in the beginning and he fell for her. Holly gets upset and accuses Fletcher of coming back only to clear his conscience before he runs off with this lady forever. He tells her that’s not true and his feelings for Holly all came back when he saw her and they kissed. But, he says he has to take Meg back to school and needs to come up with a plan to split his time somehow, and also figure out what he wants to do. But first, he says the priority is getting Holly better, which she then says she knows what she has to do. Fletcher and the nurse talk privately and as Fletcher turns around, he realizes Holly and Meg are gone! Fletcher runs to Frank at the police station and tells him they’ve disappeared, meanwhile we see Holly and Meg together at the park. But, as Fletcher is about to go search for them, Holly and Meg walk into the police station. She tells Fletcher that she realized running away would have been a big mistake, and Fletcher says just the hour they were gone was hard enough, he can’t imagine how Holly felt for a year. Holly tells him to go back with Meg to her school and make a life for her while she continues to get better, but Fletcher calls the teacher and tells her he has to stay in SF now. Holly asks why he did that and he said because he loves his wife.
