MJ presented Larry with the treasure file. She reasons that if he impresses the bigwigs sufficiently he will be taken off the graveyard shift.
Marley went weird. IS SOMETHING HAPPENING TO VICTORIA?
Fayez and Terry are unhappy. Terry won't fix the cameras for fear of falling things.
The Loves looked after Marley. Brittany displayed an unholy interest in twinlinks. Marley recovered herself and prevented Peter from "scozzling" her with brandy. She is completely taken in by Brittany. Peter is happy to be married. If Donna doesn't like it that's her problem. Marley called Carter looking for Jake and/or Victoria. He sees nothing he knows nothing. Marley narrowed her eyes and set about interrogating Bridget. She finally confessed that she wasn't certain Jake had the money. Marley demanded an explanation.
Peter and Brittany went to bed.
Bridget hesitated before telling what little she knew. [Victoria's flight and Jakes subsequent pursuit.] Marley got to thinking about Nicole's obvious impecuniousness and asked who had been responsible for the salvation of the estate. She said Victoria was trying to get money for Jake now. Bridget admitted she could be right. Where can Jake and Victoria be?
Fayez and Terry don't like Neal. Nor do they trust him. They approached Vic and Jake arguing about theft and the like.
Brittany sickens and disgusts me. Peter is not much better. They dream of French chateaux. No talking of Annie. She assured him she'd make him a good wife and she wouldn't find him boring. Ick in general.
Larry has made no headway. This Quonset Hut business makes no sense. And why have the feds not given info into the file and why does PD info disappear into a federal black hole? The feds aren't making enough fuss to satisfy Larry. Enter Catlin. He hates Peter but then again he and Britt deserve each other although perhaps Britt married him only to spite him [Catlin]. Her goodbye kiss was far from Persian, rather more along the lines of an Oklahoma hello. Catlin hates to think that a lot of people [not that he cares about the actual husband] will have their lives ruined all because he caused Britt to want to spite him.
Fayez and Terry don't like the mine.
Jake is still trying to prevent Victoria from doing something rash. A lot of bits of mine fell down partly on top of Jake blocking the way they had come. Jake lay still. Vic panicked.
Marley felt that Vic was in terrible danger and got upset. Bridget consoled her.
Vic begged Jake to wake up. He obstinately stayed motionless for a time but finally told her he wasn't dead although his head hurt. She is quite distressed. Jake yelled at her not to panic. They have to dig their way out. Vic figures they'll die.
Catlin said he'd talked with Sally who had been rather sweet. She'll meet him again for Kevin's sake. If this is another chance he'll tread on eggshells. Larry advised him to keep his nose out of Brittany's marriage, there being nothing he could do. Catlin said there was too something he could do and strode purposefully from the room unmindful of Larry's warning against rash acts.
Catlin strode into the bedroom of the newly-married Loves. Britt: Catlin what are you doing here? [Peter is asleep.] Catlin: come here. I want to talk to you. Britt: I just got married today. Catlin: I know. Britt: so you're interrupting my wedding night. Catlin: I know exactly what I'm doing. I also know why you married Peter. Britt: no, you can't. Catlin: I knew it from the moment you kissed me this afternoon. That kiss didn't say "goodbye"; it said "I love you." Britt: Catlin. Catlin: and there's one more thing Brittany. I know you're pregnant and it's my baby. Britt: how did you find that out? Catlin: what difference does it make? The point is that I KNOW. This whole marriage is a sham. You haven't changed. You're thinking about yourself. Britt: we have to get out of here. We have — Catlin: still thinking about yourself. Still trying to find the easy way out. Britt: Catlin — Catlin: first you ruined my marriage with Sally and now you want to ruin Peter's life. Are you proud of yourself, Brittany? Are you proud of yourself, you STUPID LITTLE SLUT? Britt: get out of here. Catlin: well there's only one way to fix it before it gets worse. He commenced shaking Peter awake and she woke up screaming "STOP IT". Peter asked what the matter was.
Jake calmed Vic down. They started moving little rocks. She became uncalm upon perceiving water [signifying possible erosion]. They figure Neal and Fayez will have to dig out the treasure. Vic thinks they'll be caught and killed. Jake thinks they'll hide and escape. She wept buckets and asked him to hold her. He obliged.
Marley is certain Jake will not Stray like lost sheep. She went home in case he should call.
Peter deemed it unflattering that his new bride should be hollering STOP IT. She said she dreamed that Donna was trying to destroy them. He consoled her. Their love is stronger than his sister. Honesty in all things.
Maybe Fayez et al are dead. Vic is hungry. Jake produced "a little squished from being in my pocket but otherwise none the worse for wear one whole half muffin." She was enraptured. They had a little picnic. Let's dig.
Fayez and Terry are unhappy. The treasure is partially buried. Let's dig.
Loves back-to-back. Discussing Peter's son.
Fayez and Terry getting organized.
Jake and Vic heard pickaxe noises. They are not consoled any by the fact that Vic has a handful of jewels.
