Over At The Cory's, Rachel and Carl are discussing why Rachel confided in Felicia about Rachel's mistrust of Carl. Rachel apologizes to her husband and tells him she didn't betray his trust in her by confiding to Felicia. Carl tells her she shouldn't feel guilty about confiding in Felicia, after all she is your best-friend. Rachel told him she just didn't want him to think she was doubting her trust in him. Carl told her to forget about it and asks her if she would care for a cocktail before Cass and Felicia arrive.

Toni tells her that she told him she really didn't know how long Josie would be working on the case tonight.

Over at the Basketball Court, Gary was shooting a few hoops trying to relieve a little stress. Suddenly, someone shows up just as Gary was about to shoot another basket.

Chris decides to tag along and check in on Toni as well.

While sitting alone on a park bench, Amanda starts feeling very depressed and lonely and begins to cry to herself. Just then, the stranger who she saw jogging a few days ago comes up and asks her if she was alright. Startled to see that it was him, Amanda just says "it's you." The stranger then asks her if she has someplace to go or was she alone out here. Amanda told him she just comes here to get away and that she has a home.

Jake ask her why was she hugging on Grant. Vicky told him she was consoling Grant and then accuses Jake of spying on her. Jake told her that he was here to protect the kids from Grant. Grant hearing them arguing comes from back downstairs. Grant told Jake he really doesn't know what was going on down here, but he thinks it would probably be best if he left. Jake told him, not so fast Grant. He then orders Grant to stay away from them, and told Vicky that he is only using her to cover his tracks. Vicky told Jake if that was so then she will see it and told him that he just can't come over there and order Grant out of her house. She finishes by telling Jake that she and Grant share a child together and always will. Jake says unlike they do.

As they leave A jittery Cass complains to Carl about the homeless man Wally, who has been terrorizing him by making Embers In The Snow come to life.

Friday, April 10, 1998

At the Cory Mansion, Cameron (The New Cory Chauffeur) was in his room having dreams about Amanda inviting him to her bed. He pops up out of his sleep and then flashes back to the day they met at the park. Just then, Amanda shows up for a friendly visit and tries to get to know Cameron a little better. She apologizes for last night, but Cameron only asks her if she needs to be taken somewhere. Amanda told him no she only came up to talk. Cameron says you could have called me on the phone Miss Cory. Amanda told him he doesn't need to be so formal and to call her Amanda. Cameron told her it was not in his job description. Sensing his nonchalant attitude towards her, Amanda asks him why was he acting like he was when he was so nice when they met in the park. Cameron told her they were strangers then. Amanda then asks him why he chose her room to break into last night. Cameron told her Carl already explained that and he was only doing his job by checking out the security system. Amanda told him he was very rude and the whole incident was somewhat strange to her. Cameron told her part of his job description was that he is to do what he was told. He was just a servant and was not to become involved with the family and he was also required to have his own privacy. He then opens his door to show Amanda out. Amanda gets upset and prepares to leave, but before she does Cameron told her if she needs to go anywhere today to ring him. Amanda went back to her room, but she can't stop thinking of Cameron. Meanwhile, Cameron's in his room getting dressed in a nice business suit and as he looks himself over in the mirror, he keeps saying "Yes Miss Cory, Whatever you say Miss Cory." He then told himself to keep it simple, just take the money and run. As he was about to leave, he opens his briefcase full of guns, but Amanda shows up and told Cameron through his door that she won't leave until he talks to her.

At Lila's Place, Lila was on the phone still trying to stall the bill collectors when Cass shows up. Cass informs Lila that Michael's Will was being read today and he left some kind of bequest to Shane's heir. Excited, Lila asks Cass how much did Michael leave her. Cass told her down girl the money is for Shane's unborn child and not for her. Lila wants to go to the reading of the will, but Cass told her that was not a good idea. Lila told him that she has to be there to represent Shane's unborn child's claim. Cass told her this isn't the wild wild west and he will be there to represent Shane. He then tells Lila that Michael wanted to express his dying gratitude to Shane for saving the children he loves, Steven and Kirkland. He wanted Shane to know that what Shane did would never be forgotten, what Shane did Lila not you. Lila asks Cass if there was some way they can get around all of that, but Cass tells her no, so she can quit batting her eyelashes at him. Cass told her that he will bring her a copy of the will, but she was not to go to the reading. He also told Lila that any money the child receives will be put into a trust fund. Lila went into her how am I going to live without any money act and told Cass the stress she was under from getting ready to be put out of her apartment isn't good for the baby. Cass told her she doesn't know what real problems are as he contemplates what Embers In The Snow episode will happen to him next. Lila told him he does look like he was growing horns and asks Cass if he really thinks his life was in danger. Cass told Lila if she comes anywhere near the Hudson's today, hers will be and then he leaves.

At Carlino's, Nick was at Carlino's having coffee when Sofia told him that he looks a little bit tired. Nick told her that he didn't get much sleep last night and when Sofia asks him why not, he told her what does she care shouldn't she be with Matt Cory. Sofia asks him lets not get into a fight about Matt today. Nick apologizes for being a jerk and he told her all that matters was that they love each other. The two then prepare to go to the reading of Michael's Will.

At Vicky's Place, Etta Mae was dressed and ready to attend the reading of the Will. She calls upstairs to Vicky to see if she was ready yet. Vicky comes downstairs stressed in Jeans and a T- shirt and told Etta Mae that she isn't going to attend the reading. Etta Mae told Vicky to march up those stairs and put on some appropriate clothes. Vicky told her she thinks it would be best if she stayed away. Etta Mae told her she cannot miss the reading of her Father's last Will and Testament. Vicky was reluctant, but Etta Mae knows it's because she was afraid to see Jake. Vicky says that Jake doesn't even look at her the same way he used to. Etta Mae told Vicky that their type of love, pure love, never dies. Etta Mae told Vicky that her father would want her to go after Jake and he wanted her to be at the reading of his will. Vicky realizes that Etta Mae was right, so she went to change into more appropriate cloths.

At the Farm, Donna was in the barn when Jake shows up to tell her that Marley is returning to Bay City. Donna hugs Jake, saying that was great news and tells him she knew he would be able to forgive Victoria. Jake told her that he called Marley to come home for the boys' sake. Donna knows it was for Vicky and she told Jake that she now knows that he still loves Vicky. Donna thinks that Marley wouldn't come back unless she has forgiven Vicky, so it's possible that Jake can forgive her as well. Jake told her that Marley was coming back because people are in pain, not because she has forgiven Vicky. Donna thinks that Jake can forgive Vicky, but Jake told Donna that Vicky made him look like a fool. Donna told Jake that Vicky loves him, but Jake says he can't even look at Vicky anymore, which was why he called Marley. Donna doesn't believe him because Jake wouldn't have gone through all this trouble if he didn't care for Vicky. Though her son-in-law cautions her not to read too much into a simple act of kindness, Donna feels certain this means both Marley and Jake are getting ready to forgive Vicky and let bygones be bygones. Jake tells her that just because she wants everything to be okay doesn't mean it will be. Jake says he doesn't even want to go to the reading of Michael's will, but Donna told him that Michael would want him there. Donna leaves to set things up for the reading and Jake gets a call from Marley. Jake asks her where is she and Marley told Jake that she can't come for a couple of weeks. Jake is upset and told her to get here as fast as she can because Vicky needs her. Jake then leaves to go get ready for Michael's reading.

At Bay City General Hospital, Lila shows up to hear Michael's will being read in his office, but before she can enter the room, Cass catches her and tells her not to take another step. Then he grabs Lila and drags her into another room. Cass says just couldn't stay away could you. Lila told him that she has a right to be there. Cass told her all you have to do was flash a little money and she will point like a retriever. Lila asks him if this was going any where and Cass told her to be greedy in private and don't rub the Hudson family's nose in it. Lila still insist she was there to pay her respects and tries to leave, but Cass sits her back down and asks does he have to tie her up. Lila tells him she will scream bloody murder and have him arrested for messing with her mental stability. Cass told her to go ahead and have him arrested and in return he'll make sure Lila receives the funds form the trust long and slowly in the sum of 20 years. Lila told Cass now that he put it that way she will back off. Cass told Lila that Vicky was a friend as well as a client, a paying client. He told Lila that she on the other hand was running from creditors, so guess whose side he was on. Cass warns her that he could make it easy for her to get her hands on the money Michael left Shane's heir or he could make it difficult as well. Lila gets his point, but Cass refuses to leave her alone until the will was read.

Meanwhile, Donna and Vicky show up at the hospital and go to Tyrone's office where the Will was to be read. Donna told Vicky about her meeting with Jake. She then told Vicky how Jake did something wonderful for her, he convinced Marley to come home. Vicky was happy that Jake still cares for her, but it doesn't mean that he'll forgive her. Donna told Vicky that she has to tell him how she feels, but Vicky says that it doesn't make a difference anymore. As the two discuss whether or not Jake still loves Vicky or not, Jake shows up and senses they were discussing him but says nothing. As the rest of Michael's family gathers in his office, Tyrone explains how his client left behind a videotape to be played in the event of his death. Tyrone plays the video that Michael left behind. Everyone but Donna snubs Vicky at the reading, which turns out to be a humorous and touching video from Michael. Michael says Donna was the love of her life and leaves the farm for Nick, Sophia and their children. Nick's thrilled, but, Sophia looks as if she has doubts. He leaves Marley his collection of photographs and his library of books to John. Finally Michael comes to Vicky, who he thinks will be okay because she has Jake. Michael starts speaking about how she and Jake are creating a life together and what he has left her was in the farm's barn. He also told Vicky and Jake that they shouldn't let anything stand in their way of being happy because nothing else matters. Michael then told Vicky how glad he was that she's with Jake and how the two must overlook the small things because nothing was as important as love. Overcome by emotion, Vicky who was in tears by now, runs out of the room.

Back in the room Cass and Lila are in, Lila listens at the door and hears Vicky in the hallway crying. Lila fools Cass into letting her go by distracting him about seeing antlers like his Embers In The Snow character does over by one of the chairs. As Cass went to look at the chair, Lila gives him the slip.........Meanwhile Jake finds Vicky in the hall crying and takes her in his arms and holds her. Lila comes around the corner witnessing this embrace and watches Vicky and Jake in shock and disgust.
