Carl that he has been doing things lately that he isn't aware of. Carl thinks
she was referring to the re-structuring of Cory Publishing and ask her if Matt
and Amanda put her up to this. Rachel told him that it was not about Matthew
or Amanda and she has no problem with him making changes at Cory this was about
his health. Carl gets misty-eyed and told her that they are all plotting
against him, but their plan was not going to work. Rachel swears she was not
plotting against him with her children, but Carl says she's not loyal to him.
Rachel told Carl about how he called Matthew, Mac and about him walking into
doors and spilling his brandy the other day with out even noticing it. Carl

take him from her. Rachel tries to reassure her husband that isn't what is

he has business to take care of back at the office and leaves. Once alone,
Lila has the waiter bring her, her order to go along with some expensive wine.
Her plotting mind kicks into full gear and she decides that she'll take the
food and wine over to Cass' office to surprise and seduce him out of the money
she needs.......Over at Cass' office, Cass was working when Lila shows up in a
little sexy low-cut dress along with the food and wine she ordered. Cass
senses a come on and asks Lila what was all of this. Lila told him that she
just wanted to thank him for all his support. Cass doesn't buy it and calls
her on it. He told her if she thinks she can just saunter in here and bat her
beautiful blue eyes at him like Scarlett O'Hara did to Rhett Butler when he
was in jail and she needed money from him, then Lila was sorely mistaken. Lila
gets outraged when Cass has her number and told him this was the thanks I get
for going through all of this. Cass told her she didn't go through nothing.
She ordered the food, she didn't cook and as to going through all of this,
that was her intention from the beginning. Lila was ready to walk out the door,
when Cass asks her how much money does she need. Lila says $20,000 dollars
and Cass chokes on his wine. Cass told her that she doesn't have that much
money. Lila becomes angry and when Lila finds out Cass has expensive taste,
but not money to loan, Lila pours the wine over Cass' head and leaves. Rachel
catches the tail end of this and ask Cass who was standing there dripping in
wine what was going on. Cass told her long story and then changes the subject
to the reason she came to see him. Rachel asks Cass for the name of the doctor

and Cameron told her that he'll go run down to the drugstore and pick some
up. After he was gone, Amanda decides that she's gonna find out who Cameron
really is. She hobbles upstairs to Cameron's bedroom and she finds a semi-

is there with her. When Jake sees Vicky he thinks he's been set up by them all
to get him to see Vicky. As they try to explain that was not what was going on,
Jake doesn't give them a chance. He told them this was not I Love Lucy and Joe
and Paulina are not Fred and Ethel. Jake then told them he was out of there
and Paulina tries to stop Jake from leaving and Joe told Vicky to just stay
out of Jake's life if she loves him. Vicky told Jake she was leaving, but they
do belong together. Joe drives Vicky home and Jake told Paulina how hard it
is to try and keep away from her. Paulina asks Jake if he can forgive her, but
Jake says he can't. Paulina told Jake that he has to face the same choice she
had to make, to either leave Joe or forgive him and work it out. Jake tells
Paulina the she was right, he has to make a choice. Jake walks out and doesn't
tell Paulina where he's going. At Vicky's place Joe tries to tell Vicky he
thinks it would be best if she left Jake alone and gave him some space. Vicky
confidently told Joe that she will never give up on Jake, because they belong
together. As she went inside, Joe mutters under his breath that he doesn't
think so and leaves. A little while later, Jake shows up and Vicky was ecstatic
to see him outside her window. She runs to open the door and told Jake that
she new he would come back to her, but Jake just stands there and says
nothing.
