Cass is distressed. He told Wally he'd seen Zane dancing with a gorgeous redhead.
Britt thought about Catlin telling her everything was over. She told herself it wasn't fair. Peter appeared because she'd asked him to come by.
Chris and Hawk are waiting by the phone. It rang.
Britt told Peter about Larry and Catlin giving up on Evan. She's determined to find him. Peter told her she had to find out whether the body was really Evan's. She told him to forget it. He told her they could check footprints. She said she'd think about it. He told her he believed it was the best thing for her.
Carl finds Chris irritating today. He wants a photograph of Nancy holding today's newspaper. Chris told him to meet him at the consulate with Nancy. [I find Chris tiresome too.] They were cut off.
Brittany told Peter she'd give him the birth certificate. He refused to let her pay him. They're friends. Peter will call the Dry Creek County Sheriff's Office tout de suite [Making quite a career out of this Dry Creek business, aren't you? You know it's just suddenly occurred to me that it was very weird for Peter to get Zane's phone number from a Dry Creek bartender. Would that he never had. Although Zane is a fun guy.] He offered to give her a lift to meet Zane at Smiley's.
Felicia overheard things and forced Cass to tell her about Zane out with a redhead. She freaked out. She asked what else. Cass admitted Zane had said she was on hold. She freaked further. Cass got a call to say they'd lost the Lesoleil jet because Daphne'd absconded with it to Egypt. They were going to sell it. They want to wring Daphne's neck. Cass called Michaud and left a message. Cass: excuse me, I have to go and get a Daphne Grimaldi doll to stick pins into. Exit Cass. Felicia: maybe I should get a Zane doll. Wally: you should not. He reminded her of how often she'd bashed Zane for Edouard.
Britt told Zane about Peter. He told her she was always all over Catlin and that's probably why Catlin was backing away from her. HE would if he were Catlin. Britt tossed her head saying he'd come crawling back to her on his knees when she had Evan. Her grammar has gone out the window, poor thing. He advised her to look ahead and find a man of her own. She can still look for Evan but Catlin is taboo. She said she wished she'd never met and married Catlin. Behaving like a rational human being for a change. He told her things were weird with Felicia. She doesn't trust her.
Daphne found Nancy hovering around the phone and chided her for being homesick. She told her the phones were out of order and said they'd go shopping.
Marley thought about talking to Victoria on the phone yesterday. Jake appeared and embraced her. She told him to let her go. He said they should talk. She agreed. She told him it would be wrong for her to see him. She denied being in love with him. He told her Victoria would say anything to get her way. She said so would a lot of people. He said he'd kill Victoria. She told him not to. He said he loved her. She said it wouldn't make up for some things and left. He said he'd get Victoria.
Peter told Britt she had to go to Dry Creek to sign papers. They clasped hands. I like the way he's looking at her. She asked him to come with her. He agreed. She saw Catlin over his shoulder and kissed Peter gratefully and was then extremely coy and friendly. Peter smirked and left them alone. He [Catlin] gave her Evan's file because it's over. She said it might be for him but it wasn't for her.
Felicia discovered one of the editors with whom she must meet to publicize the Arizona shoot is a woman who said on her talk show that romance novels were a subhuman product of a male-oriented publishing industry [Cass: the one with the purple hair and the fangs?] She hates Felicia. Felicia begged Wally to take her place. He gave in. Exit Felicia. Cass can't deal with the loss of the jet. He's down on Daphne. They wonder what she's doing in Egypt. Wally asked if Daphne could be the HER he'd heard Carl mention. Michaud called. He won't let them prosecute Daphne. The jet's at Orly airport. Cass thinks Daphne's hanging out in Parisian cafes telling Cass Winthrop jokes. [Why can't Cass Winthrops fly? Because they're stupid... No, turnip jokes work better. Or we could substitute "because they've lost their expensive jet plane" or vielleicht auf franzözisch ist es mehr komisch ... komischer.] So who is HER of Hutchins' tephelone [sic] conversations?
Fayez has a secret note to deliver to Chris. Carl prevented him showing at Daphne and sent him off. Carl and Daphne are not getting along. He won't let her take Nancy shopping. He took fits. She became obsequious.
Catlin wants Brittany to give up. He doesn't understand her. She said if it were Kevin Sally would do the same. He said she wouldn't. Britt said Sally would understand if she told her the whole story [and she should know because she'd be Evan's stepmother]. Catlin ordered her not to bother Sally because she's busy. She brought up Daniel and said he was good looking and came on strong and sometimes temptation got the best of one. Catlin told her Sally could take care of herself and he didn't need her advice. Exit Catlin. She called after him she knew HE didn't, it was Sally she was worried about.
Hawk found a man who recognized Fayez and knew of his habits re paper purchasing.
Wally got cold feet. He's scared of this woman. The woman was announced. Felicia panicked. They hid her in the closet. It was the wrong woman. Wrong day. A woman who is a big fan hoping to meet Felicia in person. Cass said she was in the file room and told Wally to fetch her. Wally knocked on the closet door and the tones of voice were priceless as Felicia said brightly she'd be right there and emerged. The Zoe woman asked for an autograph. Felicia promised her a stack of autographed books. They plied her with talk of Daniel.
Daphne pleaded a headache and wouldn't let Nancy out. Nancy chafes. Left alone she expressed discontent.
The Lesoleil people are pleased with the interview. The rest of Felicia's life is ungood but she trusts Zane... sort of. Redheads spook her. Wally reassured her. A letter arrived from Zane.
Peter told Britt he could definitely go. She may have kissed him again unobserved. I'm pretty sure his thoughts That Way tend. I hope hers do as well. They both sound, well, adolescent, and perplexed and he's looking at her as he should look.
Nancy was unable to get past the guard. She took horrible screaming fits. Your guess is as good as mine regarding the whys and wherefores.
IF THE MAN DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU [take heed all ye Petersons recently divorced, this means you Brittany [for Catlin is not much of a Peterson]] IF YOU FLY ON SEPARATE BEAMS WASTE NO TIME MAKE A CHANGE RIDE THAT MAN RIGHT OFF YOUR RANGE RUB HIM OUT OF YOUR ROLL CALL AND DRUM HIM OUT OF YOUR DREAMS IF YOU LAUGH AT DIFFERENT COMICS IF YOU ROOT FOR DIFFERENT TEAMS WASTE NO TIME WAIT NO MORE SHOW HIM WHAT THE DOOR IS FOR RUB HIM OUT OF YOUR ROLL CALL AND DRUM HIM OUT OF YOUR DREAMS. Pursue Peter wholeheartedly and without shame.
Wouldn't it be cozy if Catlin's father were Jake's father? I could cope.
Useful Russian phrase: я не понимаю. [ya ne ponimayu]
