I’m up to April 05, 1999.
Still at the Bauer cabin, Vanessa and Matt have a heart to heart talk and she tells him what happened with Dinah. He gets concerned thinking the cops would look In Lucerne considering her past, but she says those Swiss nuns planned to take her somewhere else once she got there, so even Vanessa doesn’t know exactly where she is now. She then asks Matt if he slept with Beth and he says no, which makes her happy. A few days later, Vanessa/Matt are back in SF and meet with Ross at the Towers who says the prosecution team still wants to charge her unless she gives up Dinah’s location. Blake/Cassie and baby RJ show up and Blake asks if they should leave because of Vanessa, but Cassie says no, she has to be able to live her life and not hide in fear. Vanessa walks up to them and offers an apology, but Blake/Cassie angrily tell her the only thing she could do to help is give up Dinah’s location. Cassie then reveals an email that Dinah wrote her, apologizing about Hart and asking how RJ is doing. Cassie tells Vanessa she’s scared that Dinah will come back and hurt RJ, but Vanessa tries to convince her that Dinah would never do that, but Cassie is strong in her concern. Vanessa later tells Matt and Ross that she feels like she needs to go tell the police what she knows now.
Michelle tells Jesse everything that happened and why, which makes him understand why she had to lure him to the lighthouse and pretend like she and Danny were a couple. He assumes they still had sex, which she says they never did and he is happy. She then gets a phone call and reluctantly tells the caller she will meet them. She lies to Jesse and says it was Aunt Meta and she’ll be back soon. Later, Meta comes home and says she didn’t call and Jesse realizes she went to see Danny. We then see Michelle meeting Danny and Ray to discuss annulling their marriage, as Danny had told Ray earlier that they never consummated it and the marriage was fake. Ray then puts her on the spot and says before they can get annulled, she has to confess to him and God that she never had any feelings for Danny. She can’t give a real answer and Danny gets frustrated with her. Ray later tells her that Danny threatened Carmen and was willing to put her in prison to save Michelle, which stuns her. She asks Danny about it and he downplays it a bit, but Jesse walks in and interrupts. Danny then tells Michelle to expect the divorce papers in the mail and Jesse/Michelle leave, but clearly Danny and Michelle are still unsure/upset about it all. The next night, Michelle tries hard to cook dinner and have a special date with Jesse, but she’s frazzled and accidentally calls him Danny. She apologizes, but says how could she love anyone else but Jesse, especially given that he has her mother’s heart (finally, they acknowledge this with the recast!). They have champagne and then he realizes she’s still wearing her wedding ring, so she takes it off and they kiss. They decide to dress up and go to Millennium to continue their date, and of course Danny is there. A girlfriend of his arrives, having been out of the country for a couple years, and they hug and he says it’s so great seeing her again, all while Michelle/Jesse watch from a distance. Michelle introduces herself and says she hasn’t had the chance to meet many of his friends, and this girl says she’s more than just a friend. Michelle gets annoyed and Danny and the girl leave the bar area. Michelle/Jesse go upstairs to his loft and they start kissing, preparing for sex for the first time since Danny entered the picture, but she has visions of kissing Danny and stops. Drew then walks in, gets upset seeing them kiss and asks them to get a hotel room. Michelle says no, she needs to leave and pick up Meta anyway, leaving Drew/Jesse together to argue. Drew says he should start looking for a new place to live and he agrees, but will stay there in the meantime. Michelle then walks out of Millennium and sees Danny and this girl together, just as Danny kisses her cheek. After Michelle leaves, the girl tells Danny she can’t believe he never told Michelle about her, considering she’s his sister!
Selena is still not interested in telling Drew that she’s her real mother since Drew is adamant about finding her birth mom so she can tell her off. Selena sees in the newspaper that an old friend of hers has died, and this friend always wanted a child but never did. She comes up with a plan to tell Drew that this now dead lady was her mother so that Drew can stop looking for the real one. Buzz still hates the plan and wants Selena to tell her the truth, but goes along with it anyway and agrees to help Selena forge a birth certificate.
Phillip upsets Jim when he absentmindedly calls Beth ‘honey’ in a business meeting. Jim calls him out on it privately, which Phillip takes offense to. Phillip then warns Beth she should be careful with interoffice relationships, which Jim overhears and pisses him off. Jim then asks Beth on another date, which she accepts, but Phillip then tells Jim the same thing he told Beth. Jim gets in his face and says to back off. They both full on hate each other now, with Jim accusing Phillip of hating that he’s dating his ex-wife. Later, Josh offers Jim a job at Lewis if he agrees to quit Spaulding, and Jim accepts. Beth then shows up and she and Jim have a heart to heart about Harley, with Beth telling him her concerns with her. They eventually kiss, which is Jim’s first kiss since his wife died, and they plan a wine date later that night.
Meanwhile, Susan continues to be jealous of Harley’s incoming baby, so she continues to purposefully fawn over Beth in front of Harley to make her jealous. Phillip calls Harley and tells her that Jim and Beth dating isn’t going to work out and he needs to fix it, just as Harley watches Susan and Beth hug. Harley pulls Beth aside and tells her to back off Susan and they get into it, while Susan is listening from the stairwell and smiling with glee. Later at the hospital, Harley and Susan are touring the birthing facility and they run into Beth. Beth casually mentions Susan wasn’t born there, like she thought, which confuses Susan. Harley then tells her about being born in the backseat of a car, which upsets Susan, thinking she always got the shaft (dumb). Harley and Beth go at it while Lillian/Susan go for a soda and Harley starts to have Braxton Hicks contractions, but she’ll be fine. Phillip arrives at the hospital and overhears Susan talking to Beth about the possibility of Harley losing her baby, and he takes it as though she wishes it would happen (and he’d be right). Susan doesn’t want to see Harley, so Beth takes her home and Phillip tells Harley there may be a problem with Susan. He says he thinks she wants something bad to happen to their baby, which Harley can’t believe at all. Phillip then lets it slip that he paid for Susan to come to SF, which she didn’t realize and gets upset by. They argue and Harley says he’s becoming a control freak, with the Jim/Susan issue and with Reva/Josh by taking over Lewis Oil and not giving the company back to them. Harley goes to Cassie’s for the night instead of going home with him because they’re so frustrated with each other. That night at the farm, Cassie/Blake/Harley talk about it during their girls night, while Phillip and Rick drink and complain about it too. But Cassie/Blake convince Harley to call Phillip, while Rick is telling Phillip he’s in the wrong because he does like to be right and in charge a lot. Rick is hilarious, he makes them role play and he plays Phillip, meaning O’Leary does his hilarious impression of Grant (Phillip) again, with the clenched jaw/bottom teeth out thing LOL. Most of these scenes seem pretty ad lib which is so hilarious. A very drunk Rick and Phillip then go to the farm to see Harley and it’s pretty comical, with Phillip hiding in the bushes, trying to feed Rick lines, but he’s so loud and Harley can hear him, so she goes back inside. Phillip then serenades her with a guitar and sings a song about how much he loves her, with Rick doing bad, drunken background vocals, and Harley finally caves, kisses him and they go back home together.
Blake visits Holly again, who seems to be doing better, but Blake gets concerned a bit when Holly says she’s looking forward to working at the Journal again side-by-side with Fletcher, and getting a house in the woods so she can walk with Meg everyday. Blake then tells Holly she’s still talking to Ben which makes Holly upset and she starts to shake her, saying she needs to think about her babies. Fletcher comes in and stops Holly, and Blake privately tells Fletcher that Holly thinks Ben is like Roger and she’s trying to protect her from him. The next day, Fletcher visits Holly alone and Holly gets excited about their future and going to bed together again. She goes in for a kiss, but he backs away and it triggers her and she goes crazy again, asking why he didn’t bring Meg, how he’s taking her away from her again, etc. He leaves and Holly says to herself in the mirror that she has to get herself together.
Ben meets Carmen at the Santos mansion. She’s wearing a gown, he speaks to her in Spanish, and they flirt in that dangerous way Ben likes to flirt. I guess they’re chem testing them in hopes to maybe move Ben away from Blake? They have dinner and continue to talk about potentially working together, and Ben then leaves saying he’ll be in touch.
David and Vicky go on a proper date to see if there is anything there, as they try to put behind them the Lewis/Spaulding drama from last month. David tells her he’s talked to Frank about becoming a cop and he takes an exam next week, but Vicky isn’t happy about that, but they continue to flirt and ultimately kiss.
Reva and Abby go for a jog and Reva confides in Abby that she feels like she must have another baby with Josh. She later has an appointment with Dr. Sedgwick and Annie walks in, surprising them both. She’s there on her community service and Reva is visibly upset. Annie reads her charts and realizes she wants to have another baby with Josh and she starts to break down and cry a little. She leaves, Dr. Sedgwick apologizes to Reva, but Reva says the only human thing about Annie is her love for children so she’s almost sorry for her. Outside, Annie sees a pregnant Harley, and she starts to crumble even more and eventually runs to Alan for comfort. She cries to him that even though she got off free, she’ll never have the life she wants - a family with children. She then asks Alan to buy her a child LOL.
Reva’s appointment with Dr. Sedgwick doesn’t seem to go well. She comes into the room with seemingly concerning news, but we don’t get to hear what it is. Later, Josh tries to get a hold of Reva, but can’t. He eventually walks into their bedroom and finds her in lingerie on the bed, with music playing, asking if he’s ready to make a baby tonight. They talk about how Reva needs to experience the early years of being a mom, which she missed out on with Shayne and Marah, and then they have sex.
