Lily: Mm-hm. He
probably got it stuck to him his first Sunday in the bullring. You know,
blood and guts, honey. Tony: Oh, please please please. Let's not
indulge in morbid fantasies. Spike, wait in the car. As for the rest of
you, you're free to go. Felicia: Tony. Tony. Tony. Wait. Look, I know
Cass. He's a bum. He's self-centred, he does stupid things, he
lies, he cheats -- so why don't you give him a second chance? Tony:
Uh-uh. Winthrop owes. He's going to have to pay.
Cass has a plan. In fact, 2 plans. Kathleen: Yeah? And what happens when
they fall through? Cass: She's so optimistically supportive. Kathleen:
Just facing the inevitable. He won't let her tell anyone he's in
Bay City. Now he says she may go. Cass: I'm going to change now, and I
won't have you laughing at me. Kathleen: That's ridiculous. Why
would I laugh at -- on SECOND thought I think I'd better go. Cass
asked her to buy him clothes. Kathleen: He insults me. He orders me
around. He asks me to buzz off, and then he asks me to buy him dresses.
What a man. Cass: I don't need sarcasm right now, Kathleen. Sarcasm is
not what's needed here. Just a nice dress.
Rachel wants Nancy to take the habit back. She says Nancy's NOT going
to accept a gift from a man like that. Nancy wants to keep it. Ada
reasoned with Rachel (who was pretty hysterical about it).
Catlin and Sally walking in water to Julio Iglesias. Arms about each
other's waists.
Mac told Rachel they'd be all right. Jamie returned and demanded to
know what's going on about this horse. He told him he had to bid
against Sandy. Mac told Jamie about the reasoning behind it. Mac is
ecstatic to have the horse.
Sandy told Carl Jamie got the horse for Mac. Carl is distant (not the old
friendly Carl we know and love). Carl called someone angrily and said it
was a 4 million dollar horse they lost. He's LIVID.
Kathleen went to Cecile's, much to Felicia's relief. Kathleen
thanked them for the message. She told them about Cecile and said that
Cass was so depressed he stayed in Majorca. Felicia's question: if
Cass didn't come back on the plane, why was our message a lifesaver?
Kathleen started into an almost hysterical account of her fright and
exhaustion and said brightly they could start finishing the book and
Winthrop could have the paperback rights. The true story of Catlin Ewing:
romance, adventure, love -- (I personally consider that redundant in the
extreme but let's face it, Kathleen is under stress.)
Sally: I love you. Catlin: Well, I'm kind of fond of you, too. (In
such a world-weary voice.) Sally: Honey, can we stay here forever?
Catlin: I wish. Sally: Can we stay till sunset? Catlin: Sure. That way we
can get a little more housecleaning done. Sally: We haven't made the
bed yet. (There was deep regret in her voice.) Catlin: Good. (Obviously
eager to have a lot of housecleaning to do. Like Titus who wanted MORE
HOMEWORK.) (Let's all throw rocks at Catlin, teacher.)
Cass has found his colour. He asked Kathleen if she wanted to go
out to a movie or something. She has to go home. Kathleen told him about
Mark being shot. (I wonder if Mark KNOWS Cass is in Bay City.) Cass is
depressed about that.
Carl is at the Corys'. Rachel tried to order him out but Mac asked him
politely what he wanted. Carl was unusually humble. Mac: I give you one
minute. It better be good.
Wallingford found Cass (he followed Kathleen). Cass is sick of wisecracks.
He told Wallingford not to tell Felicia. Cass is remorseful because of
Wallingford's beating. Cass is going to put on more makeup.
Wallingford: Hey! This is my chance. Just like in the movies. Cass: What?
Wallingford: Don't you know, in the old movies, there's the strong
silent type, protecting a lady? Cass: Yeah? Wallingford: Well that'll
be me, protecting Felicia. Cass: Yeah, right. Look, this is not a movie. I
wish it were, but it's not. This is real life, and it's deadly
serious. Wallingford: Deadly serious. Cass: Yeah. Wallingford: Real life?
Your lipstick's smudged. Cass: Where? Wallingford: Right there.
Sally wishes they didn't have to leave. So does Catlin. He doesn't
want to go back to Bay City because he has no hope of getting a job.
There's not much demand for cowboys in Bay City. Sally's convinced
that they'll be happier than ever before in Bay City now. Sally:
We're going to be fine because we love each other. Catlin: What kind
of future can I have when all I can do is break in horses or ride the
rodeo or be somebody's stableboy? Not many stables in Bay City. Sally:
Listen to me. There are a lot of other things you can so besides that, and
you're going to find a job, one that you really like. Catlin: Are you
sure? Sally: Positive. Kevin's going to be so happy to see you.
We're going to be happy, I promise you. Catlin: Well, I'm
going to hold you to that. Sally: (predictably) You just hold me,
that's all I care about. I still wish we didn't have to leave.
Catlin: Me too. But we have to. Come on. I sure am going to remember this
place. Sally: Everything about it. Especially our soft bed. (If there was
any doubt in anyone's mind before, that should dispel it.) This was
our place. Our special place.
Carl asked Mac for the horse. He admitted defeat in this rivalry. Mac is
being obnoxious. Mac demands that Carl accept all his terms or no
horse. Mac says take it or leave it. (We know not what the terms are but
Carl does. I'll wager it has something to do with Sandy.)

Editor's note: I find it really wearing to have to write down "He
kissed her" or "She kissed him" or "They kissed" or
even "Kissing" when it's called for so I just want you to
assume (where Catlin & Sally are concerned) that it's occurring
whenever there seems to be a natural pause in the discussion (and
sometimes in the middle of a sentence). If they're not at each
other's throats. And they aren't often. I find Catlin's
inclusion of being a stableboy almost tactless. And Sally's following
statement almost suggestive. But that's just me (she said it most
seriously).
Theory: I see a rather large number of horses in Bay City's immediate
future. And Catlin the only stableboy in sight. All nice and convenient.
(Carl keeps his horses at Donna's though and I doubt Sally would stand
for that. Time will tell. Of course if Larry were to want an inside
contact . . . but Carl can't be as stupid or as strange as all that,
could he?)
