(Tuesday 31st March 1998 in NZ)
Marlena gets under the crime scene tape and Sami follows her. They are kneeling next to the body when Roman comes up behind them. They go to him and he tells them that it's Richie. He explains that Richie felt he had a personal stake in this case and Roman leant him his jacket as he was supposed to be plain clothes. Marlena and Roman decide to go and tell Barbara what happened. Once that is over, Roman realizes that it could have been him that was killed. They go for a walk down to the pier and Roman tells Marlena that he never really let himself think about being shot before, but tonight it's become all too real. Marlena tells him she thinks about it all the time. Roman says that he can't let it happen. Meanwhile Jonah is supposed to take Sami home but she takes the bus instead (I think). However, she stops off at the pub first and tells Shawn that she has friends coming over and she wants some hamburgers and fries. Shawn gets them for her and she takes them outside and chows down. After the shooting - Abe decides to put the house on the market and move out of 'the neighbourhood' so that he and Lexie can start a family. Carly is still stuck in the past and thinks she's in love with 'James'. She sees the rings on her hands and says she knows who gave them to her - the man she loves. She thinks it was Lawrence. Kristen makes a speech at the meeting and magically changes all the neighbors minds. John later tells Abe that he thinks that Kristen reminds him of IzzyB and that he believes she has nothing to hide. (Oh *double* ugh!) Kristen decides to stay for a while longer. Bo tells the thugs that Billie is his girlfriend but later Malco tells Bo that he's going to have her checked out. *If* it pans out he'll get Bo the hitman. They go and Billie explains to Bo that her clothes are being laundered and her luggage is at the airport in a locker. Unfortunately the key is with her clothes and the laundry staff can't find it. She convinces Bo to buy her a red dress that is in the window of a boutique in the lobby and Bo tells her that she should be a model....

Kristen spends some time with John and Brady, but gets another letter telling her that this person wants her out of town by noon. She steals the key to the Horton cabin and tells Carrie and Maggie that she's going to take the afternoon off. She goes and makes a phonecall again and tells the guy to tell her brother that she needs a couple of weeks to sort things out but she's not going to be with JB. But she says if her brother hurts John, she'll make him pay. Meanwhile Carrie comes over to the Brady's and tears into Sami for being such a little snot towards her mother. Upstairs Roman is talking about his job again and when he feels the baby kicking he says that he is going to be there for the baby in the way he couldn't be for Carrie and the twins. They come downstairs as Sami is about to walk out on Sami and Roman gets Sami to walk him out to the car. Carrie overhears Marlena make a call to a therapist and tell him that Sami has bulimia. Marlena realizes that she's listening and gets off the phone. They talk and then Sami comes back in. Carrie apologizes for yelling at her and Sami is furious that Marlena told her. Carrie explains that she overheard but Sami tells Marlena that if she tells Roman, Sami won't be the only one that disappoints him. Carrie tells Sami that they'll help her through this and Marlena prompts her to go on over to the Horton's. With Carrie gone, Marlena tells Sami that she wants to know what's wrong - what she's done to make Sami so angry with her. Sami says she just can't tell her. Marlena tells her that she just wants to make everything all right and she'll do *anything* to help Sami. Sami says then give her another chance. She'll go see the therapist if Marlena won't tell Roman. Marlena eventually agrees and makes an appointment for Sami to see a Dr. Dorman in her office. When Sami gets there the Dr. tells her that anything she tells him won't leave the room. Roman heads over to the Horton's to find John building a wheelchair ramp for the back. He helps John and tells him after Richie's shooting he's thinking of quitting the force. John offers him a job as head of worldwide security for his company but Roman surmises that John's doing this for Marlena. John agrees that yes he is - but he's also doing it for the kids and Roman himself. They deserve the best. Roman tells John that he'll think about it...

Jenn calls Jack at Titan and tells him he has to get down to the hospital right away - they've found a donor for Abby. Victor has come in (he's going to ask Kate to marry him) but Kate goes to the hospital with Jack. There they find out the compatible donor is none other than Austin. Tom takes a history from Austin and they all hear (including Kate) how Austin and Billie's mother abandoned them when they were young. Later Jenn tells Jack that she wants to do something to thank Austin - she wants to find his mother for him. Jack agrees. Kate heads back to Titan where Vic tells her he wants to marry her and he agrees to her terms. Kate tells him that she can't marry him. John gets to the edge of the lake, but the storm is already hitting and all the boats are tied up. On the island, Kristen is panicking and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. (He - she looks like one too!) John manages to get hold of her on the CB radio and she tells them that she's going to try and get the Horton's boat back to shore. (DUH! You're perfectly fine inside - what's the big *drama* about??) The coast guard doesn't like it and tells John there's no way she'll be able to do it (let her try - let her try!). Bo tells Billie that he thinks he might be able to get LA PD to pay for her to get some new outfits so that she fits the part (yeah right!) They agree and Billie and Bo head for a boutique in the hotel. The woman assistant intimates that Billie won't be able to afford anything in there so Bo flashes some money around and they leave and go to Fred Haymans where they shop till they drop (cute ;0>). Then they go shopping some more. Back at the hotel they get ready for the party and Billie comes out in a stunning long blue dress. She asks if she looks okay for the party and Bo shakes his head and tells her that no, she can't go out like that...
