(Wednesday 31st December 1997 in NZ)
Roman has to take photos of his little girl before Sami and Lucas leave. But before they do, Lucas congratulates Carrie on winning the Face of the 90's contest. Sami and Lucas turn up at the Spring Fling and Sami does her best to make Austin jealous and is convinced it's working. However Austin is mooning over Carrie. Carrie runs out of the house and tracks Kate down at the dance. She is in tears and begs Kate to stop it because she thinks that everyone has voted for her out of pity.
Lucas gets the guy from the photography studio to meet him at the dance, where he tells Lucas that Kate Roberts purchased the photograph recently.
Jack comes to the dance to make up for the dances Jenn never went to (or enjoyed). However later they get a call from Jo to tell them that Abby has a very high temperature.
Bo and Carly pull Nikki up from the rocks but Nikki makes his antipathy to Bo clear. When they head off to sleep, Nikki comes into Carly's tent and tells her that every time he closes his eyes he's falling. He wants to go home because he's not having fun but Carly tells him not until the morning. Bo comes in and Nikki goes back to bed. Bo and Carly talk and Bo tells Carly that Lawrence won't have changed. He's a goon in a suit and he always will be. However, Nikki is outside and hears all this and picks up the cellphone to call dad.
Vivian gets her herb from Dr. Wu who is uncertain about the effects. He gives he a couple of drops and leaves the bottle with Ivan. When nothing happens Vivian makes Ivan give her some more. It's not long before she goes into a large seizure and a code blue is called. However, when she is stabilized and everyone leaves the room, her legs begin to move.
All sorts of boring stuff with Kristen and her attitude and John, culminating with John being locked in a burning community centre and Kristen outside....

Sami manages to score a dance with Austin.
Kate takes Carrie down to her office and talks to her about the competition. Carrie is adamant that she wants to pull out of the contest and Kate calls the printers, but the mag has already gone to press. Austin comes in and tries to convince Carrie that she will get through this.
Lucas is pretty po'd at Kate and gets drunk at the dance. He heads to the lift but Sami follows him and tells him she won't let him drive. She hits a button in the elevator and they get off at Kate's floor. Lucas yells at him Mom wanting to know why she lied. She pulls him into the office and he tells her he knows about the photograph.
Kristen eventually pulls John out of the burning building and John accuses her of torching it herself. They argue at the hospital and as they leave. But of course John wants to help her get the funding she needs (yawn.)
Abby still has a fever when Jack and Jenn get home and Jack calls Tom and Alice. Tom examines her and tells them they had better get her to the hospital. There they can't get her temperature down either and want to keep her in.....

Carrie heads home, but Austin follows her and climbs up to her room and through her window. He tells her that he's really sorry that he didn't get her out of the competition and that she's hurting so much, but that he's also kinda glad she can't pull out of it because now everyone else will see what he sees. He tells her how incredibly beautiful she is to him and tells her that he will go if she gives him a kiss. She agrees grudgingly, but it soon becomes willing as they sink to her bed. However she shoots upright when she hears a car and realizes that Roman is home.
Vivian manages to get out of bed and stand and she develops a plan to bring about Carly's demise that involves a syringe.
Lawrence turns up at the campsite as Bo and Carly are making out. Bo and he have a little argument and Nikki tells them he heard what Bo was saying about his Dad. Carly gets a call from a distraught Jenn and they all head for the hospital. At the hospital, Carly (who is now, it seems a pediatric specialist as well as a cardiac surgeon), takes over Abby's case. The baby's temperature keeps spiking and though they eventually get it down, Carly tells Jenn and Jack that she's worried it could be something serious.....

Roman comes up and knocks on Carrie's door. Carrie leaves Austin behind in her bedroom and goes out to talk to her father. She asks Roman to get her out of the Face of the 90's contest and Roman agrees that if it's that important to her he will try. However he still isn't happy about Carrie moving back into her apartment and Austin overhears him mention something about his and Carrie's deal. Carrie goes back to her room and sends Austin home, adamant that it's over.
Lawrence points out Carly and Bo's differences to her and tells her that Nikki is very confused.
Bo goes to talk to Billie at the cosmetics warehouse and ask her opinion on the problems with Carly. She tells him that they are very different and one of them is going to have to change and she hopes it's not him. Bo has a moment where Billie puts on some of her new eye-shadow and Bo tells her it makes her eyes look 'velvety'.
Kate and Lucas fight, Kate tells him that he was illegitimate and she doesn't know his real father's name. Lucas tells Kate that he's not going back to military school, or Westpoint and he's staying here in Salem or she'll never see him again....
