Out in the hall, Sara Ruth and Denise are having a free for all. Sara Ruth sets Denise straight about what is going on with Camille. She informs her that Camille has had cancer and she is not just trying to get Ben's attention. She also tells Denise that she used to be just like her. She would shake her tail feathers for anything walking by in pants. She tells her about when she was pregnant and her husband had left her, she could have given Camille away, but she kept her and she has been a blessing from God. As Sara Ruth is saying all this, Denise is starting to hear a baby cry. She starts to yell, "shut up, shut up"! She turns to leave and runs into Ben.

Denise tells Ben that Sara Ruth thinks that everyone should be just like her and not everyone is made out to be a mother.

He could not get him to stop crying or take a bottle. Carly takes him and he gets quiet right away. Carly says that all he needed was his mother. John explains to her that is why he needs to have him more, he is a stranger to his son. Carly gives him a bottle and he starts to drink right away.

He is yelling for her and he bust open her door and she jumps up and runs to him. They are hugging and Tom is asking her to forgive him for not believing her. Of course, she is just dreaming. She wakes up in the cold, dark cell all alone. She runs to the door and yells at David and asks her how long he is going to keep her locked up.

Lily is watching from the hall and she tells James that she doesn't think they should bring in another doctor at this time. Reid comes out and Lily is saying that she needs to get home to Hope. Dr. Hamilton says, "Hope"? Lily tells him that is her daughter and he says that she has a lovely name. Lily says that she is a lovely girl.

Jack starts to ask Lucinda questions about the accident and James makes him leave. Reid refuses to give Julia any more drugs unless she begins therapy.

John reads Carly the riot act and takes Parker to the hospital. Susan talks to Reid about Emily's disappearance. Katie comes to the club and apologizes to Eddie for not being supportive of his plans. Eddie accepts and tells her they're trying too hard. Carly insists on accompanying Parker down the hall for precautionary x-rays. Jessica gives John a reality check--Carly is not going to lose custody. Julia loses her inner battle and swipes the drugs from the counter. Susan observes this and confronts her new assistant, who feigns ignorance.

After conferring with Jack, Lily tries to communicate with Lucinda about the accident using a system of blinks. Jessica advises John to "make nice with Mommy" so his visitations can go smoothly. Parker is fine, but Brad counsels Carly to strike first, before John can use this incident against her. Carly agrees--the truce is over. She orders her lawyer to "put the screws" to her ex-husband. Julia lies and tells Susan she thought they were vitamin samples. Susan recalls her own addiction to pills.

Lucinda stops responding to Lily when James shows up. Eddie is candid with Katie--they just haven't connected. Katie correctly surmises that he's found that kind of connection--with Georgia. He wants a chance with his former roommate, he admits. Carly thanks Brad for his surprising loyalty, and he responds with a kiss. John gets a call alerting him to Carly's hardball tactics, and his intern agrees to come with him to the hearing.

When a shaky Julia drops some pills, Jack is there to pick them up. What are these? He asks. Eddie and Katie share an awkward parting, then Eddie leaves to go find Georgia. These are tranquilizers, Jack spits out as Carly looks on.

Don't bother asking Lucinda, James tells Lily as Reid hovers in the doorway. He then stuns Lily & Holden by telling them that the day of the accident, he and his wife had a fight because he'd just learned that Holden had killed his son.

Friday, March 5, 1999

Ben interrupts an argument between Denise and Dr. Foley about a follow-up visit. Chris admits to buying term papers at school when he couldn't bring his grades up. An irate Georgia arrives home and Eddie shows up on her doorstep not soon after. Julia denies wanting to call off the wedding, but is hurt when she thinks Jack proposed because he felt sorry for her. Ben finds one of Denise's medical papers stating she had a mammogram.

Bob is angered when he learns that Chris didn't want to call him for help when he was having trouble with his classes. Georgia listens as Eddie pleads his case with Matthew, then commiserates with Katie about Eddie's fickleness. Jack denies Julia's assertion that she's weak. Ben urges Denise not to keep a secret from him--the last time that happened it destroyed a relationship. Eddie returns to the Walsh mansion and Georgia prepares to confront him with Katie as her ally.

Kim isn't sure anymore when her son is telling the truth, but she agrees to keep mum about the money. When Jack has to run off for police business, Julia panics and reaches for her pills. When she calls Reid, his secretary gives her the run-around while Reid listens in to Julia's distress. Georgia and Eddie have a conversation through the door. In response to his pleadings, she opens the door, only to slam it in his face. Stop changing your mind, she advises him. Chris promptly calls Georgia and asks to come over--it can't wait.

Bob is irked when Kim suggests he's expecting Chris to live up to his own self-standards. Chris asks Georgia to let him spend the night. Reid lets Julia wait on hold before he finally picks up the phone. Under his direction, she steps outside and throws the pills into the night. She then curls up in Jack's bathrobe and promptly has visions of shovelfuls of dirt.

Katie goes to the club and cozies up to Eddie, never letting on that she was there when he tried to make up with Georgia. Georgia reluctantly agrees to let Chris stay with her. Bob blames himself for Chris' troubles--they happened because he's Bob's son.

After seeing Ben with Denise, Camille realizes she never let Ben help her. I never should've let him go, she tells her mother. Hallelujah, says Sara Ruth. Julia rushes to the hospital, causing her to miss Jack's call, and runs into Reid. He takes her aside and assures her he will help her defeat her "monsters"--but only if she turns her life over to him completely. She agrees.
