04:47Sean, so where's Tiffany?
04:51She's in her room in bed with the flu.
04:53I can't believe your father allowed Tiffany to live here.
04:58Who's Tiffany?
05:00She's a friend of mine.
05:01She was a runaway and had no place to live, so she moved in here.
05:05And your father didn't throw her out.
05:08Amazing. Amazing.
05:10I know.
05:11Actually, Dad's been full of surprises lately.
05:13I mean, he even invited Cole to the party.
05:16I don't know.
05:18I think there could be hope for him yet.
05:20I think it's wonderful, Sean, you're letting your father have a chance to show you that he's changed.
05:27Casey could take a lesson from you.
05:29If you'll excuse me.
05:32If you'll excuse me.
05:35And what was that little dig all about?
05:39A not-so-subtle hint that you want me to make peace with Dad?
05:42Look, Mom, you know there's no love lost between him and me.
05:46And I thought you felt the same way.
05:50Why did you change your mind?
05:52Well, I know where you stand with your father.
05:54Yeah, about the same place you do.
05:56Not a member of the John Mitchum fan club.
06:00Look, Mom, I know you put up with a loveless marriage just to give me a stable home.
06:06I don't think I deserve credit for putting up with the marriage.
06:10I was away a lot.
06:11Yeah, but that didn't stop you from being a great mom.
06:14And making something of your life.
06:18You're my inspiration, Mom, you know that?
06:22Well, your father is considered a big success, you know.
06:26And you could be proud of him, too.
06:28Yeah, sure.
06:29If I was into power, greed, deception.
06:34I know the two of you will probably never see eye to eye on almost anything.
06:38So then why suddenly do you want me to wave the white flag here
06:41and give Dad another chance?
06:45Because he's the only father you have.
06:57Olivia, open the door.
07:00I know what you're doing in there.
07:01There's no point in trying to hide it.
07:03Open the door!
07:03Larry, I'm just freshening up.
07:08Do you mind?
07:10Just a minute.
07:14Where is it?
07:15Where is what?
07:17Don't play games with me, Olivia.
07:20I don't know what you're talking about.
07:24I'll hit it in here somewhere.
07:25I can't do this, Annie.
07:35This is what got me in trouble with Meg before.
07:37If she hadn't caught me kissing her maid of honor on her wedding day...
07:40She probably would have caught you kissing her the day after.
07:43Meg never would have left me at the altar.
07:45She never would have come out here to Sunset Beast
07:46to find her cyber soulmate, Ben Evans.
07:49Yeah, and we would never be engaging in this conversation.
07:51Yeah, or anything else.
07:56You're right.
07:58Why do something stupid when we're so close to getting everything that we want?
08:02Exactly.
08:03And we're just minutes away from zero hour
08:06where Ben's going to find Meg in Maria's studio.
08:09Right, and when he finds her,
08:10he's not going to want to have anything to do with her.
08:12And I'm going to be there to help Ben pick up the pieces.
08:15Right, and I'll be right there to help Meg realize
08:18that I am the right man for her.
08:20All due to our teamwork.
08:22Yeah, our teamwork.
08:25I mean, that's what our partnership was all about.
08:28I mean, anything more would be ridiculous.
08:34Honestly, Tim,
08:35what possessed you to kiss me like that?
08:42I kissed you?
08:44I think it's the other way around, Annie.
08:47You kissed me.
08:48And if you asked me,
08:51I think you liked it.
08:54A lot.
08:56Well, just, it's beautiful.
08:57It was just about it.
08:58I kinda had.
08:59Well,
09:00I feel it.
09:00I don't have any identity.
09:02I don't have any identity.
09:04I was
09:24I don't know.
09:54I don't know.
10:24Do you think that you could put in a word for me with Alex?
10:27I hate to put you on the spot like this, but I would do anything to work with her.
10:32Anything.
10:34I'll see what I can do.
10:36Thank you so much.
10:37But enough about Alex.
10:39I'm trying to figure out why we are still here.
10:41When we could be alone somewhere, enjoying each other.
10:47That sounds so good.
10:49I mean, we haven't had much time between you helping Virginia and Jimmy and Virginia breaking her leg.
10:55And you going to Hong Kong?
10:57No, we have definitely not been alone.
11:00So what are we waiting for?
11:02I think I should stick around here and see what Gregory has in mind for my next assignment.
11:07You're right.
11:11You're right.
11:12This is your night to be Vanessa Hart, star reporter.
11:17Big question is, where is your boss?
11:20I don't know.
11:21He seems to have disappeared.
11:23Yeah, well, when he reappears, grab him.
11:25Because the sooner you talk to him, the sooner we can get out of here.
11:36What's this?
11:37You changed your earrings?
11:39I noticed.
11:40Well, it used to be my business to notice women's jewelry.
11:43Especially the real thing.
11:45Those are definitely the real thing.
11:48They're from my father.
11:49So that was a little something your father had waiting for you upstairs.
11:56Guess I should have known it wouldn't have been a box of candy.
11:58I mean, how much loyalty could that buy?
12:00I know they're a bribe, Cole.
12:03But don't worry, I can't be bought.
12:06So why are you wearing them?
12:09Gregory, this is ridiculous.
12:11I mean, if your guests could see you now.
12:14The most prominent attorney in Sunset Beach rummaging through his bathroom like a scavenger.
12:22Would you like to explain this?
12:27I had a feeling this is why.
12:30Why else would you sneak off to the bathroom in the middle of a party?
12:35Are you going to deny that you've started drinking again?
12:38No.
12:45No, it would be foolish of me to deny it.
12:49Why, Olivia?
12:51I thought you had this under control.
12:54You said you wanted our marriage to be on firm ground again, just as much as I did.
12:58Why now?
12:59What's changed?
13:00What's changed?
13:00What's changed?
13:00What's changed?
13:00What's changed?
13:08What's changed?
13:30What's changed?
13:31now no peeking i'm dying of curiosity
13:43okay you can open your eyes
13:48then it is wonderful oh it'll make a perfect studio thank you you deserve it maria
13:59and so much more but there is something i'd like from you in return what would you do a portrait
14:07of yourself on the swing wearing the white dress i love so much of course i will anything else
14:15yes you'll promise that you'll always love me that's an easy promise to make
14:29you ate what well when in china do what the chinese do besides it was the specialty of the restaurant
14:52what was i supposed to do head for the nearest rice patty
14:55oh all this talk about food is uh it's making me hungry i need some of rose's delicious hors d'oeuvres
15:04so casey why does a mom with such exotic tastes pack her kid for lunch
15:12would you believe uh peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches
15:16i accepted the earrings because i didn't want to rock the boat with my father
15:23are you sure that's the only reason
15:26i also thought that we could sell them if we needed the money
15:30caitlin
15:32you're worried about her future aren't you why didn't you just tell me
15:36we were so caught up with elaine
15:38i didn't even think about our future but now that she's out of jail and her life is back to normal i've been thinking about
15:45our lives
15:47and where it's going
15:49cole
15:50the fact is
15:52we don't know where we're going to live we don't even know how we're going to support ourselves
15:56i've never had a problem earning a living caitlin
15:58as a jewel thief
15:59you're not planning on doing that are you
16:03no that's not what i meant
16:05what i meant was that i'm sure i could find a way of taking care of you
16:08and it won't be by selling those earrings
16:11i understand
16:12then what would you say about returning them to your father
16:16i need to set a few things straight with him anyway
16:19you need directions don't you
16:33yeah i do where am i going
16:44darling nothing has changed
16:51of course i want our marriage back on solid ground
16:55it's all that i have wanted for
16:57the longest time
16:59then why have you started drinking again
17:01you know it could only hurt our marriage
17:04something happened is something troubling you tell me
17:08what i
17:10it isn't
17:14any one thing
17:16that's it isn't it
17:19it's the stress of everything that's been going on
17:22caitlin and cole
17:24sean and the operation
17:26elaine and the hearing not to mention you just haven't been feeling well lately
17:29yes
17:30it's all taken its toll
17:32here i am forcing you to play hostess when you're just not feeling up to it
17:37i'm sorry sweetheart
17:40oh no
17:41no gregory
17:43don't apologize
17:44i just have to learn
17:46to cope better
17:48that's all
17:48and you have to get back downstairs
17:52to our guests
17:54what about you
17:56um
17:58i just need a couple of minutes to get myself together
18:01that's all
18:02all right
18:03just a couple of minutes now
18:05mm-hmm
18:35you've got a lot of nerves suggesting that i like that kiss
19:00oh tell me it didn't make you hot
19:01so what if it did
19:03don't get cocky
19:06one kiss from you is not going to make me forget ben evans
19:09and don't you forget that
19:11oh
19:11what do women see in a brooding guy like ben evans anyway
19:14why don't you ask meg
19:17i have
19:17and i don't think she knows herself
19:19well hopefully
19:21she's finding him a lot less attractive right now and vice versa
19:24i mean her little invasion of privacy stunt is not going over well
19:28you're sure that ben finding meg in the locked room is
19:31going to be enough to break him up
19:33well ben locked that room for a reason
19:35and when he finds meg in there
19:37he's going to feel so betrayed that he's not going to want to have anything to do with her
19:41and what if you're wrong
19:42well we've got a lot of other cards to play
19:44but i'm betting big
19:46on this hand
19:47what do you think you're doing
19:51ben i'm only trying to help
19:53by sneaking up here and going through maria's things
19:55by trying on her clothes
19:57ben i'm sorry
19:58look i've tried to ask you
20:01about this room and to talk to you about it
20:03but you never would open up about it
20:05oh so you just let yourself in
20:07and started snooping around
20:09i thought i could trust you
20:15then i'm just trying to understand what happened to maria
20:19well there are no answers meg so why don't you just drop it
20:23what are you doing here
20:33i'm actually looking for your husband
20:35i need to talk to him
20:36what do you want with gregory
20:38it's a private matter
20:40how private
20:43it's not about you and me olivia
20:46if that's what you're worried about
20:47okay
20:50well gregory went downstairs
20:54if you didn't see him
20:55then he
20:55he took the back staircase
20:57i said that he went downstairs
21:02you're really on edge about this aren't you
21:06look i told you before
21:08you don't have to be
21:09i mean there's no reason for caitlin or gregory
21:11or anyone else to ever find out about our affair
21:13even if you mean what you say
21:16well i do
21:17even if you mean it
21:19there is no guarantee
21:20that our secret won't come out
21:23well if
21:24i agree
21:25and you agree
21:26not to say anything
21:27how can anyone ever find out
21:28about what happened between us
21:30i sure would like to know
21:39what's going on over at ben's
21:40i know
21:40meg should have been gone by now
21:42what if meg and ben are over there
21:46working things out
21:47what do you mean working things out
21:49you said ben would go ballistic when he found meg and maria studio
21:53well i thought he would but it's awfully quiet over there
21:55what are you saying
21:56you don't know ben as well as you thought you did
21:58well maybe i don't
22:01when it comes to meg
22:03i mean she did connect with him on the internet
22:08and he did let her stay at the deep when he kicked everybody else out
22:14i don't know how she does it
22:17but maybe she's managed to get under his skin
22:19and nothing we've done is going to change that
22:26i know it was wrong of me to come in here without your permission ben
22:35well it clearly stopped you
22:36i came in here to find out more about maria
22:40to find out why you can't get over her death i'm just trying to help
22:45well i don't want your help meg
22:47or anyone else's
22:48would you understand this
22:50i i
22:51no one can understand
22:53look i won't accept that
22:57because i know if i do
23:00there'll never be a chance for you and me
23:03well i never said there was
23:07i know
23:09but i just keep hoping if i can reach
23:13that part of you that's locked away
23:16then maybe we'll work out
23:19you managed
23:24to touch a part of me that
23:26no one else has been able to reach
23:29but i honestly don't know if i am ready
23:32for anything more than a close friendship
23:35or if i ever will be
23:38you're wasting your time meg
23:43ben i think that hidden part of you has something to do with what happened
23:47in this room
23:49meg please
23:50ben forgetting isn't the answer
23:52you have to face it and come to terms with it
23:54please let me help you
23:56just tell me what happened with maria the night that she died
23:58for the last time will you stop it
24:00now i have never known you to duck out on a captive audience in your life
24:15young lady are you okay
24:16oh i'm fine but you should check on the others i think that i stunned them by my adventures with chinese food
24:22who can blame them
24:24who can blame them i mean an international photographer with exotic tales to tell you're the perfect party guest
24:29those old stories i'm just kind of bored with them i uh... i even forget the punchline sometimes

36:37and maybe we should think our plans through.
36:40Whatever you decide, I'll back you up.
36:49I'm gonna go check on Ted.
36:55You haven't said a word. What are you thinking?
37:02I know how much you care about your mother, Caitlin.
37:04And I can't help but think your father might be using that to get you to stay.
37:10I know, but my mother was acting very strangely all night.
37:15I don't think he's lying about her drinking.
37:18I don't know. I...
37:20You use any excuse to keep you here.
37:24Maybe.
37:25But if my mother is drinking again, I need to know I've seen my mother drunk and it is not pretty.
37:34Is everything all right in there?
37:40I'll take it from here, Daddy.
37:43You get her some coffee, I'll find some dry clothes,
37:46and then you can both tell me what's going on this time.
37:53I'm sorry.
37:54I really need to think about staying.
37:58I know.
38:00I'm just worried your father will find some way to come between us.
38:04I promise I won't let that happen.
38:12Nothing will ever come between us again.
38:20Please.
