Josh thought Reva was hiding out at this out-of-town bar. Reva convinced him to stay for a drink. When she gave her cold hard cash to Nate, he gave it back and asked if she had ever heard of the “employee discount.” Josh looked confused. Nate asked if this was the husband. Yeah, last time I checked, Josh deadpanned. Reva told Josh that he had to remember that story about the guy with the room key; well, this was that guy. There were lots of forced smiles all around as Nate and Josh shook hands. Nate said that he had told Reva that anytime she was in the area, drinks were on him. Josh and Reva sat down with drinks and Reva assured him that nothing happened with Nate. Josh got a little angry, saying it was hard to understand Reva these days. Reva admitted that she was having a hard time, and that when everyone wanted to “take care” of her, it ironically pushed her away. Reva wanted Josh to be the one to take the roller coaster ride of life with her. Josh said that he wanted to. They kissed and he departed. Nate threw an apron at Reva and told her to get back to work. Reva thanked him for not blowing her cover. Nate tried to understand why Reva took the job. To have fun, Reva exclaimed. She added that it was nice not to be related to anyone here — wait, she spoke too soon. There was Tammy, chatting it up with some guys….

Frank was pouring over the old letters Mallet had written. Coop asked what he was reading and Frank told him what he had done. Coop convinced Frank to let him talk to Lizzie into helping Harley….

On the phone, Alan set up plans to get Harley transferred. Uh-oh — Gus overheard. Oh, after the commercial break, it turned out Gus had just arrived. He didn’t hear a thing. Alan informed Gus that the Spaulding jet would take him to where Olivia was hiding. After Gus left, Lizzie walked in and informed her grandfather that she heard everything — and that she would tell Gus. Alan grabbed her arm, but the next thing you know, Lizzie was laying on his lap, crying about the Spauldings. Alan tried to assure her that everything would work out. Lizzie blasted him for keeping Gus and Harley apart — just like he did with Phillip and Beth. Alan explained that that was different: Harley had caused nothing but trouble for their family. Lizzie pouted that she hated being a grown-up in this family. It was fun when she was young, but now — nothing but pain. Lizzie said that she realized that there was another way to live her life. Like a Cooper? Alan asked incredulously. Speak of the devil, Coop arrived and Alan protectively drew Lizzie to him. Coop left, but the not-yet-a-couple met up in the hallway. Coop said that Lizzie was different than Alan and Phillip, and that Harley needed her help to stop the transfer….

Frank returned to the letters just as Gus walked into Company and asked what he was looking at. Gus started to read them and asked when they were written. Frank said that wasn’t his concern right now. Gus told Frank about the lead on Olivia, but Frank spilled the beans on Harley’s transfer. Gus panicked. Frank explained what Mallet was doing for Harley….

Mallet fretted about the transfer, but Harley wanted to talk about those letters he had sent her. Harley defended Frank’s choice for hiding them, saying he only wanted to protect her. Mallet mused that maybe some good came out of this; he knew that she always wanted kids and she and Phillip had Zach. Harley asked when he stopped writing. Mallet sighed that it was a long time. He told her he sometimes wrote about Piper, their dog. Harley smiled and asked about the pup, but the dog had died. Mallet asked if knowing about the letters changed anything. Harley said that she didn’t have to be as angry at him anymore. Mallet gave Harley the last letter he ever wrote her, but never mailed. Harley read it and was obviously moved by Mallet’s devotion. Mallet downplayed his writing abilities, but Harley assured him it was a good letter. Mallet asked if Harley had received that letter all those years ago, would it have changed anything? Harley admitted that she didn’t know if it would. But if they had reconciled, she would have been too worried that he would cheat again. The phone rang and Mallet had to go to a meeting. Before he left, he wanted reassurance that those letters would have worked. Harley urged him to go to the meeting. Harley laid down to go to sleep but Lena entered and scared the bejesus out of her. Lena waxed euphorically about how much Mallet was still in love with her. At the same time, Mallet entered an empty Company and was confused — this was where the meeting was suppose to take place. At the same time, Alan got a phone call and Lena told him that Mallet was gone, just like he wanted. Back at the office, a guard came and said that the warden ordered Harley to move outta there. Too bad it’s Friday the 13th because Harley needed some luck on her side: Once outside, the guard cackled that Harley was going straight to Hell … house, that is….

At Company, Mallet realized that it was a setup, but as he ran out Gus grabbed him and started berating him about Harley. At the Spaulding mansion, Alan took out a cigar and praised himself for his evil deeds. Imagine hearing this laugh: mua-ha-ha-ha. Yeah, that’s what it was like.Thursday, May 12, 2005
Reva admired a dapper looking Jonathan. She wondered if that was one of Josh’s suits her son was wearing. Yep, but don’t tell him, laughed Jonathan. Reva gave him the “talk to the hand” motion when Jonathan asked if things were okay in the sack. Josh walked in and asked if Jonathan was wearing his suit. Jonathan did his deep Jonathan laugh and pranced around. Josh wondered if he and his wife were going to fight, but Reva said all she wanted was the day with her husband. Josh turned her down, so Reva tried to twist Jonathan’s arm into going out. Jonathan didn’t want to skip out on the job, so Reva walked out as he called after her that they could collate together. For some reason, she didn’t take him up on that….

Tammy put her hands over Sandy’s eyes for a rousing game of “Guess Who.” It took that jokester awhile, but he finally guessed Tammy. She apologized that they, had, you know, not done it. Sandy said it was okay. Tammy announced that she found a job working at an office. Sandy remembered that he had business to do at Towers. They ran into each other again, this time at Lewis, when — surprise! — Tammy works for the company now. Josh wanted Sandy to run an errand. Sandy was hesitant to leave Jonathan and Tammy alone together, but he left anyway. Jonathan asked Tammy if she wanted to collate. Tammy made it clear that she wasn’t bothered by Jonathan — and neither was Sandy. Jonathan revealed that he spent all of his trust fund. Tammy was shocked that Jonathan spent all his dough. As Jonathan mouthed off, Tammy complained why can’t he ever let things be normal and happy. Tammy said that she wanted them to have a positive relationship. Jonathan scoffed that they don’t even have a relationship. Tammy shared her psychological insights with Jonathan, who brushed them off. Jonathan warned her that she was playing with fire. She thew a glass of water on him. Sandy arrived and Jonathan walked off. He freaked when he saw the mirror. With lipstick, someone had written: You can’t ignore me….

Edmund, Dinah, Cassie and Jeffrey (henceforth known as the quad) arrived in the D.C. hotel room. (They must be staying in the Democrat suite because all the walls were painted blue.) Edmund and Cassie bunked together, while Dinah and Jeffery took the other room. Although it’s only five minutes into the show, Dinah may have the line of the day: “The good news is you can’t knock me up,” she said to Jeffrey. But Cassie was uncomfortable with the arrangements so the ladies roomed with each other. Back in the boys’ room, Jeffrey made a phone call and learned that Alonzo’s plane was late due to the weather. After arguing over who should sleep in the chair, Edmund and Jeffrey decided to share the bed. In the girls’ room, Cassie hopped into the shower, while Dinah rocked herself and assured the unborn kid that they’d be okay. Dinah went out and told Jeffrey that Cassie had some questions about Will. Jeffrey walked into the room just as a naked Cassie was strolling out of the shower. Yet again, Cassie tripped, her towel went flying and she fell on top of Jeffrey in the bed. Cassie refused to get up. Jeffrey offered to close his eyes, but he did a little peaking. Dinah walked into the other room while Edmund was on the phone playing both sides against the middle yet again. Edmund went to Cassie’s room and said that Alonzo wanted to speak with him and only him. Meanwhile, Dinah found a member of the royal entourage and fed him some lies, so when the aide knocked on Cassie’s door, he said Alonzo had ordered Will to be brought to San Cristobel by next week….

At Company, Josh slid into a booth with Blake and Sebastian to discuss bringing down Spaulding. With the memos that Sandy delivered to Josh, it was clear that Josh wanted WSPR. Blake asked why and Josh said it was because Alan fired Reva and it was payback time. They all gleefully rejoiced in bringing Alan down a peg. Josh and Sandy left and Josh told Sandy that he wasn’t going to tell Reva about WSPR yet. Meanwhile, Reva went to Nate’s bar and asked for a green apple martini. She was disappointed to see Bartender Bob working, but brightened when Nate walked up behind her. After fixing her a drink with his secret ingredient — hip shaking — Nate offered her a job. Reva took it and got a little excited as she tied the apron on. Another montage ensued while Reva yucked it up with the clients. As work was winding down, she got another visitor — Josh.

Buzz gathered the Coopers for game night. Lizzie wondered what the heck was going on because she didn’t approve any event. Buzz laughed and invited her to the Cooper gathering. Secretly, Lizzie was pleased. Buzz called Danny and invited him, too. When Danny came, he and Marina got into it, while Coop and Lizzie bickered. The girls sided against the boys over what was going on in these relationships. Coop admitted that he actually wanted Lizzie there but the girls went off to sit by themselves. Danny and Coop shared a beer (what, Coop is old enough to drink?), then Danny helped Robbie, which Marina thought was a ploy to pull her heart strings. Danny and Coop tried to steal looks at Marina and Lizzie; they looked away when the boys were watching. Buzz told Coop to suck it up, so Coop took over a burger to Lizzie sans ketchup, just the way she likes it. Coop and Lizzie exchanged apologizes and called themselves friends. Even Roxie seemed to take to Coop again. Danny and Buzz talked to Zach about how much space there was between Danny and Marina. Zach got all giggly and even Marina cracked a smile. Danny dragged his chair over to Marina, but she said she needed him to decide if a relationship with her was what he really wanted. He began to walk away, then doubled back and planted a big kiss on Marina, He announced that he would win her back….

Mallet looked outside and when the coast was clear, he motioned Harley out of the office. Lena was on the cell phone to Alan, freaking that she had just sold out Harley. But Harley didn’t hear the conversation and the two women had a short talk. Lena praised what Mallet was doing, while Harley pointed out that Gus had sacrificed plenty for her. Both women agreed that these men better come through for Harley before it was too late. Lena wished Harley the best. Ah, the irony. Harley somehow got back to the warden’s office and the two reflected on their relationship. Harley brought up the time Mallet slept with a woman in his surveillance van. Mallet accused her of fighting dirty. Harley yelled that maybe what she wanted was for Mallet to come after her. In fact, she was hurt the most by his silence. Mallet looked stunned. You mean you never got my letters, Mallet asked? Um, you wrote me? Harley replied, looking just as stunned. At the very least, she would have answered or sent back them back in shreds. Frank stormed into the prison, demanding to see Harley. Mallet ushered him into the office and when the siblings talked, Harley learned that Frank had kept Mallet’s letters from her. Harley flipped, but Frank stood by his decision because those letters would have hurt Harley too much. They then talked about Harley’s transfer and Mallet’s plan to hide Harley. Frank left and Harley told Mallet that she believed that he had written those letters. Mallet shut off the lights and tucked Harley in. She thanked him for saving her. He sat back and wished that things had been different….

Gus locked Bill in that basement room and taunted him over that voice thing. Frank arrived (Gus had called him) but he took Bill’s side in the feud. Frank told Gus that his tunnel vision was ruling his life, just like it had during Harley’s trial. Bill burst into the Spaulding mansion (the staff have taken a shine to him apparently) but before he and Alan could get into it, a maid came in and asked if Emma’s nanny was still needed. Alan got all irritated because he didn’t know what the maid was talking about. It was at this point she explained that Olivia had taken Miss Emma out of town. Gus strolled in and informed Alan that Olivia was the one who killed Phillip. Gus asked for Alan’s help. For Phillip or Harley? Alan sneered. Gus replied it was for both of them, but that he loved Harley and that once this was over, he was going to marry her. Bill scurried around looking for Olivia and ran into Vanessa. He quickly explained the situation and Vanessa questioned Olivia’s actions — why would she run? Don’t go there, Bill huffed. Vanessa pointed out that some mothers would do anything for their children. Bill left a message on Liv’s phone that pledged his support to her — no matter what she had done. Back at the Spaulding mansion, Alan got an email with the header about Harley’s transfer. Alan hid it from Gus and told him that he wanted to join forces to find Olivia. Once Gus was gone, Alan made a call about sending Harley away — forever. He then picked up a photo of Olivia and Emma and hissed, “You’re next, Olivia.” Tuesday, May 10, 2005
Reva groaned as she worked out; this wasn’t as fun as it appeared on TV, she huffed. The next thing you know, she’s all dressed up and sipping cocktails at a new bar. What do you know! Nate’s the bartender there — oh, and the owner. After a little flirting, Nate taught Reva how to mix drinks, a musical ode to the art of alcohol, if you will. Nate professed that Reva was a natural, then they proceeded to do a synchronized routine. Reva noticed that the “demographically correct” producer was there and convinced Nate to give her his number. He got a drink thrown on him. Nate talked about Reva getting a job there….

At Company, Jonathan was stuffing his face with non-P&G chips and yelling to the universe. Tammy told him to knock it off. Jonathan confessed that he was having trouble with the blueprints and Tammy offered to help. Jonathan explained that all the letters get turned around in his head, but before Tammy could get out the word dyslexia, Jonathan shut down. So, Tammy punched numbers into a calculator, saying them out loud, while Jonathan announced the correct sums. The two started talking about family traits — Tammy noted that Jonathan would have liked the wildcatter H.B. Jonathan put on a ridiculous Southern accent, which gave Tammy a giggle. Sandy walked in and wasn’t too pleased. He got Tammy and the two exchanged “You’re amazing, no you’re amazing” while Jonathan sulked. Sandy mentioned that it was their six month anniversary. Both looked pleased, but later, Tammy appeared at Reva’s bar wearing a sexy, non-Tammy-like outfit….

In the basement, Gus noticed that the door to his former holding cell was open. He realized that Alan was gone, and hid inside there himself when he heard footsteps. Olivia approached and issued more threats through the voice distorting machine. Gus burst through the door and shocked the living whatever out of Liv. He admitted that he thought it was Alan who was his captor and had returned, but Alan hadn’t worn heels since the ’70s. Liv admitted that she locked him up. Gus asked what the fragrant scent was and Olivia said it was her perfume, jasmine to be exact. Gus started to badger her that she killed Phillip. Bill broke up the argument and blasted Gus for his treatment of Olivia. Gus laid out his case of why Olivia was guilty, but Bill didn’t buy it. Gus turned around, but Liv was gone. She was actually getting Emma dressed, telling the tot that they had to leave Springfield….

Harley panicked when Mallet told her she was being transferred to Hell House. He said that his plan was to keep Harley isolated so the system would never find her. Harley fretted that that would mean she couldn’t talk to her family — or Gus. The guy who ordered the transfer arrived, and Harley ignored Mallet’s order to hide and instead transformed into an intrepid reporter. Harley furiously took notes and Mallet told the guy that Harley had already been transferred. The guy left and Harley started to relax a bit until they heard a noise out in the hallway. It was Lena, who had heard all about the plan to “lose” Harley. Mallet wanted to send Lena to solitary confinement, but Harley was able to talk to her cell mate for a few minutes. Harley pointed out how important it was that Lena keep her secret. After tossing out a few movie lines, Lena left with Harley convinced that she wouldn’t squeal. Next scene: Lena was on the phone to Alan demanding that she see her daughter. She then blurted out that the warden was keeping Harley safe so she wouldn’t get transferred. Back in Mallet’s office, Harley asked why he was going through all this trouble. As Mallet made a joke about needing to have a hobby, we noticed that he had their wedding photo on his desk.

Ah, it’s a day about thwarted road trips. First up, Edmund and Dinah were stuck in the broken-down van. Edmund frantically tried to get a cell phone signal, while Dinah suggested that he just relax. As if on cue, the thunder rumbled and the rain began. Outside, Cassie and Jeffrey were searching for help when she got a rock in her shoe. Somehow, she then fell and landed right on top of Jeffrey. Awkward. Back in the van, Edmund is clobbering the seat in a short fit of rage. Dinah taunted Edmund that she had his number regarding Alonzo. Edmund declared that he had to get Cassie, weather be damned. Dinah insisted that she had a knack with cars, so she’d take a look under the hood. (Dinah also revealed that she can fix a Ferris wheel.) After a few tries of not really trying, Dinah got the car rolling. Edmund jumped for joy and kissed Dinah, saying that he loved her. Meanwhile, Cassie and Jeffrey took shelter in a cabin. Cassie wondered why Jeffrey was so nervous. Maybe it’s because the last time we were in a storm together, we almost died, Jeffrey snapped. Cassie rambled that there was no time for this. She tried to leave the cabin, but in a very Wizard Of Oz-like move, the wind slammed the door shut. Lightening struck a branch above and it fell in front of the door, trapping the duo inside. Cassie freaked and Jeffrey hugged her — just as Edmund and Dinah arrived. Edmund swallowed his anger and said that he was glad Cassie was safe. After Edmund vowed to keep Will with his mother, he and Cassie shared a kiss….

Danny ran into Marina at Olivia’ s Bar. Danny announced that he wants to go out of town. Marina assumes it’s to visit Michelle and Robbie, but Danny corrected her. What about a road trip tonight? he asked. Marina turned him down, insisting that she didn’t want to rush things. They kissed, then Danny started to talk about the night Michelle’s memory returned — and they slept together. A hurt Marina blasted Danny for keeping this a secret. She took off for Company where she ran into Frank. Marina didn’t feel like talking, so Frank sat beside her and she leaned on him….

At a new bar, Sandy and Tammy talked about his car dying. Tammy suggested that they call Jonathan so he could take them to the movies. Um, no, said Sandy. As the couple started talking about the Winslow family problems, Tammy tried to get Sandy to open up about his past. It didn’t work….

Gus broke up Harley and Mallet’s close moment. An elated Harley embraced Gus. Mallet and Gus argued until Harley got in between them and convinced Mallet to give her a few moments alone with Gus. Mallet begrudgingly gave her space, and once he was alone, got a letter delivery. He read the paperwork, panicked and rushed out. Inside the office, Gus told Harley that Alan had kept him captive. The couple began to argue about Mallet, then just as passionately started kissing. A guard knocked on the door, so Harley ran for cover. Gus lied that he was fixing Mallet’s computer, so security left him alone. Harley thanked Gus for helping her. She then told him about remembering smelling jasmine the night Phillip was killed. Meanwhile, Mallet ran into Frank at Company. Frank was cold and accused Mallet of still being in love with Harley. Mallet scoffed that he and Harley were history, but he needed to help her right now: Harley was to be transferred to a horrible prison. Mallet rushed back to his office and made a phone call, saying that Harley had already been transferred. Harley appeared and Mallet told her that she was in trouble, but he’d already taken care of it.
