This was supposed to be another Valium-free edition, but those damn changes of life, death on killing spree, questioning why those I love are dropping like flies but not me, Valium was on tap last night. A two-pill limit, I'll do my best not to mangle this report but you may want to have your decoder rings handy. Then again, if today is anything like it was yesterday in Genoa City, you may need to be on drugs too.

Love how the crazies can fall down stairs, check themselves in hospitals only to check out an hour later and return to where they contracted crazy, with any luck a traveling shrink should be making the late night rounds at any minute. Olivia is with Victor and there's a therapist on scene too! Victor blames Ashley's stress on Estella. Upstairs, with a sleepy Ashley, Adam welcomes her back. She tells of seeing another Sabrina; at the hospital; the clippings and her name on the scrapbook cover. Adam is shocked. That's awful. Who's doing these evils things? Ashley says it's Estella, but she has no proof. So what is Olivia doing for Ashley? Nothing? Strange, ain't it, given Olivia is Ashley's only friend? Ashley doesn't know, but thanks Adam anyway for being a friend.

At the Jitter Joint, Kevin and Jana talk about his not being upset about the email. She's not getting it. She can see that Kevin is an emotional wreck. How can he live with himself? Why can't he see that he did nothing wrong?

Daniel is having a flashback to when he talked to the faux art investigator. In real time, he speaks to Amber before the phone rings and a Mr. Aucker wants to know why Daniel is dragging his feet. He's got until noon tomorrow so shake it. Amber wonders who was on the phone. An art dealer? Everything okay? Yeah, everything is fine.

Jack reassures Phyllis that he'll be raising Sharon's baby. By the way, Sharon is talking with Nick right now. Kissing Phyllis, she kisses Jack back as Nick is telling Sharon that he wants her back. It's their destiny. No! Sharon's not ready. No matter who her baby's father is, she can't wreck Nick's marriage. Jack informs Phyllis that Sharon is no longer a threat. Believe it. Phyllis can't believe it.

Olivia appears before Jack to tell him about Ashley. There's been another scare. Can he come to the Ponderosa?

More with Kevin and Jana. Forget the email! It doesn't matter what people think. Kevin's a change man; he didn't do those awful things. The chipmunk did. Now, about that painting, Jana asks Daniel as Kevin and Amber go off together. Jana knows something is up with that painting. Why is he forging stolen art.

Victor shows the shrink out the door as Olivia arrives with Jack who thinks it must be bad if Ashley needs her head shrunk. Since Ashley is resting, Victor orders Jack to leave until, there is she is, down looking for something to eat, Ashley! Jack wants to take her home with him, "Away from this garbage" as Olivia cautions the boys not stress Ashley out. Olivia took Ashley upstairs where she explained she's concerned which is why she got a shrink. Still, Ashley doesn't trust her. Then, Olivia suggests Ashley go take a long walk, When she comes back she'll fall asleep like a baby.

Nick is begging Sharon. She doesn't love Jack the way she loves him. He can make things right. No! No! Sharon won't change her mind. Oops - in comes Phyllis. What's going on here? Sharon is moving back with Jack. They can all raise the baby together so there's nothing for Phyllis to fear.

Jana probes Daniel. They whisper something to the effect that Jana doesn't like the idea of Daniel getting mixed up in another crime, or whatever the government is up to. At the same time, Kevin says there's a IHATEKEVINFISHER.COM web site. They all watch in real time as site users post hate messages. Amber searches for something good about Kevin using the key word 'chipmunk'. Oh lord, there is a message favoring Kevin, the "silver chipmunk", who "saved his community", blah, blah. Nobody has a right to judge Kevin. Hmm, could this message have been written by Amber? So, how 'bout it Kevin. Feeling better?

In his room, Adam is listening to Jack and Victor argue. Jack won't leave his sister in this "haunted house" another day. Along comes Olivia to say that Ashley is resting. Victor told Jack to leave, but if he does come back make sure Victor isn't there. Un, oh. Ashley is outside with Zapato talking to the statue of Sabrina begging Sabrina to leave her be. Suddenly there's a high wind and creepy music as Sabrina steps out the statue and Zapato knows to get the hell out of there.

"Don't be afraid," Sabrina whispers as Ashley wonders why Sabrina is haunting her. All Sabrina wants is for everyone to be happy. Sabrina and her baby are at peace. A crying ghost, Sabrina wishes Ashley's baby well too. Oops - it was all a dream as Ashley's is in her bed eyes wide open.

More idiocy with Jana and Daniel until a happy Kevin and Amber join them, then as Amber and Daniel leave Kevin discovers the happy web site comments came from Amber. Kevin appreciates what Amber did. The nicest lie he's ever heard, in fact.

At home, Daniel and Amber find the place trashed. Daniel has a flashback. Could Aucker have done this?

Ashley is downstairs again. She's looking better, Victor says, as Adam listens from afar. Ashley goes on to say she's no longer afraid of Sabrina. Damn! Not what Adam wanted to hear, as Victor mumbles over and over how happy he is.

Sharon is bawling. She falls into Jack's arms. What a guy is he; sticking with her like this. She loves him so much. Cue the saxophone music as Nick and Phyllis rehash. She lays down the law; what it will take to keep her in this marriage. So, will Nick follow his penis? Ring-ring. The sitter calling to say Summer is sick and Phyllis is needed ASAP. They'll talk later.

By the Pacific Powerhouse (Valium-free edition)

So where were we? What's Father Todd Williams doing in god-less Genoa City? Will Jill Abbott take a job scrubbing toilets? What will it take for Paul Williams to get a clue and will Lily Ashby turn lesbian when she figures out hubby Cane is as much a slime as Daniel Romalotti?

Yikes! It's Lily's birthday. She and Cane are talking about that and parts of his past he doesn't want to talk about.

At the Abbott mansion, Chloe is looking for Billy only he's at Jimmy's Bar with Mac who is behind the bar. And he's got flowers for her.

Kevin and Amber at the Jitter Joint yapping about the love line as a vehicle to let the public know that they're not better. Oh lo, Amber gets right through only Dr. Drew won't talk to her. Well, she'll call Rush Limburger.

Daniel is shocked. The real agent Aucker is there. Jana there too, they talk about Daniel sketching's and how Daniel is supposed to let Aucker know if the fake Aucker calls again. Daniel makes a call only to get a this number is no longer in service recording.

Amber is trying to reach Dr. Laura. She'll help get the message out. Kevin says not so. Talk radio isn't interested in their story. Amber has another plan. Tommy Lasorta, the "king of the blues". And she gets right through. Kevin on the line too, he complains of being kicked when he's down. So, what's this got to do with baseball? Nothing.

Back at Jimmy's, Mac reads the Hallmark card from Billy. Then she suggests he go get his wife and baby and take them home. In come Cane and Lily with a cake. They get a happy birthday Lily from Billy as Billy leaves. In comes Neil to wish his "baby girl" a happy birthday. Goodness, Cane has another present for Lily as Neil recalls Lily's birthday a year ago when Ana and Tyra were present, but not in the gift sense. And who else? J.T.! Can you believe he and Mac were once friends?

Billy and Chloe are home, or whatever the mansion is to her. They argue as Billy plays his feel sorry for me card. Does he really want Delia and Chloe out of his life?

Amber is still on the line with Tommy. She knows all about the L.A. Dodgers and now Tommy is hot to help save her, and Kevin's image. The chipmunk bandit? Live on the air? It must be Tommy's lucky day. He heard that the governor granted the thugs amnesty, but seems distressed that they got away with their crimes.

Meantime, Jana is puking her guts out to Daniel about what a good thing Kevin did for his community, but she doesn't want anything bad happening to Daniel.

Tommy takes a poll. Is the chipmunk liked, or disliked. By the way, is it true Kevin had a bad childhood? Oops, Kevin has cold feet; he doesn't want the public knowing too much about him. Oh what the hell, he'll tell anyway. The reason he does crazy things is because he's really crazy.

Billy wants Chloe to stop fussing about Mac. Mac is, Billy says, engaged. As for his marriage to Chloe, Billy says it's as real as it gets; consummated and everything. Chloe wants him to wake up. He is, after all, a grown man. She compares him to Cane and that really pisses Billy off.

J.T. and Mac catch up on old times. And look at J.T. now - a family man and everything! And he's heard about her too, being engaged to Raw-all. My, how times change. So what about Billy? Surely Mac has seen him. She has. She knows too that Billy can be a good guy when he wants to be.

More with an excited Lily getting twenty-one gifts for twenty-one years of life. He mutters something out his past, but she's more concerned about the future as Nina blows in.

More with Jana scolding Daniel for going off chasing criminals by himself. What if something bad happens? What would that do to Amber? Oh, but Daniel must strike first. Amber calls to alert Daniel that he heard Kevin and Amber on the radio! Quick, tune in and hear for yourself. And Daniel does on his humongous boom box as Kevin says he's sorry for his sins. None of what he did was his fault. He was locked in a closet twice and it made him do bad things to make his daddy happy. Alas, it's not who Kevin is. He's just a regular guy with a great wife. Wow, Tommy is impressed. Sounds like Kevin is ready to "move on".

Billy and Chloe go on and on as Billy complains that Cane took everything he ever had. Poor Billy. Chloe isn't having any of it such that Billy calls her "the righteous police". Well, what about what she did to Cane and Lily? Oh that, it makes Chloe sick to think she was once an evil bitch.

The party goes on with Lily telling Neil how lucky she is. Neil hacks up Dru, and how proud she would have been of Lily. Lily is over the moon. She and Cane, sitting in a tree; thinking about making a family. Un, oh. Nina wants to probe Cane. He tries to beg off, but then offers to tell what he can about himself until Nina starts asking Lily questions.

Billy wants Chloe to move back. If she does, he'll "clear out" because all they do is fight. No, no! Chloe loves Billy. People like Billy, the under-achiever, as he says. If only he'd let Mac go as Chloe wants, they might be a family.

Still on the radio, Tommy is fielding calls from sports fans who seem to support Kevin and Amber. If they're ever in L.A., be sure to look Tommy up. In come Daniel and Jana as the call ends. Gosh, where have they been, Kevin wonders. No answer until he tells of meeting with art dealers. Kevin is happy now. This is the beginning of the end. Meantime, a very bad person is talking about that stupid Romalotti kid.

More with Lily sputtering about Cane's bad childhood. Nina wants specifics. She doesn't get any because Lily doesn't know and so Nina leaves. Across the room, Cane is on the phone with Uncle Langley.

Billy misses his girls. If he can be the guy Chloe thinks he is... it won't be easy. There's a problem. Sharon is pregnant and it could be with his baby!

By the Canadian Connection

Jack is spoiling Sharon by taking such good care of her and the baby as he seats her at a table at the AC. Mary Jane stumbles on their kiss and is thrown for a loop. She makes a hasty exit.

As Billy confesses he slept with Sharon, Chloe accuses him of saying anything to get (pause) as the light goes on and she realizes he’s telling the truth. What the hell was he thinking? She lets him have it with both barrels. She tweaks to the argument between Billy and Jack. Billy wishes he had taken his head off.

Phyllis is calling out for Nick at the tack house. She reads a letter he left her telling her he might be a while tending to business at his dad’s. So that’s it? Business before marriage is the order of the day.

Nick’s at the ranch and Adam calls out to determine who’s there. They continue to throw barbs at each other. Midway through Nick throws his weight around by telling Adam he doesn’t need his permission for anything. There is a silver lining in this thing called blindness. Adam can’t see Nick if he wanted to. Another call of sorts as Nick tells him to put a sock in it. Stop with the self pity!

Upstairs Olivia is pronouncing that everything looks good. Ash feels like a new woman after all the rest she’s had. They continue to debate the merits of Ash seeing a shrink. Why is she so for this when Victor isn’t?

Meanwhile Victor spots Nikki at the bar at the AC. He sits beside her and they are surprisingly civil. He’s sincere about his congratulations on the engagement. They have come a long way. No more throwing insults like darts. Vic’s had some time to reflect. He regrets some of what he said when Sabrina died. She understands and recognizes it isn’t easy for him to admit he took it out on her.

Back to Nick and Adam bickering. Nick is genuinely sorry Adam is going blind but that is the only thing that has changed about his feelings toward Adam.

With tenderness, Victor and Nikki continue to discuss Ashley, Sabrina’s death and the family’s fears about losing Victor. Ashley and the baby have brought him back to life. They are all grateful for that. They embrace and she leaves.

Adam’s in his room now and plugs in. Ashley and her best friend are arguing. The dream is revealed. That dream has left Ashley at peace. Ash escorts the doc out and permanently if she had her way.

Nikki pays a visit to Phyllis with a singing bear for Summer. Mary Jane also shows up. Apparently she and Phyllis were going to go over those interviews. Nikki asks to sit in. They continue with small talk. Nikki starts with the personal questions.

Adam is thrilled to hear Ashley’s taking a stroll. Yet another “call out” this time to Victor. Guess he’s back at the ranch and needs to know she’s going out.

Genius Billy feeds Chloe the gory details and wow but don’t they make her feel so much better. He continues with the excuses while she goes on saying she should have known better. Billy says he’s ready for family-hood now and Chloe wonders if he’s suddenly taking maturity pills. What are they going to do if he’s the dad? He promises to make it up to her. She demands that if he wants them back she has certain nonnegotiable demands.

Sharon and Jack talk about their past hurts toward each other. Jack is grateful the relationship is being given a second chance. With ring in hand, he proposes yet again.

Back to the tacky house where Nikki continues her interrogation. Mommy talk as Victoria calls with Summer on the other end. It’s bed time. That’s Nikki’s cue to get the singing bear over to her grand daughter. Mary Jane wonders if Nikki always drills people like that. Phyllis assures her that she doesn’t and working with Nikki is great. They go on to discuss their deteriorating love lives. MJ admits she still wants Jack back and Phyllis advises her to walk away with the news that Sharon’s pregnant. They have lots in common as MJ announces she hates that woman.

Sharon turns down Jack’s marriage proposal. Sharon wants no strings. Everything is still too up in the air. He gives her the option to change her mind whenever she wants to. He gets a phone call and has to leave for an urgent business meeting. He gives her the keys and she leaves.

Here are the terms. Billy has to find them their own home so they can start over. She is so done fighting and that is her final offer. Until then they’ll be at the mausoleum.

Ash is rubbing her belly back at the bench in front of Sabrina’s statue. Perhaps she is hoping for another out of stone experience. Unbeknownst to her, Nikki has stumbled upon her situation and overhears the conversation she is having with the statue. Nikki looks concerned by what she has heard.

Victor wants Nick to go to New York tonight. Nick tells him it’s not a good time. Victor wonders if it’s that serious. Nick confides that they might not make it. Nick tries to determine just how much Victor knows when he asks if it’s about Sharon.

Again we find Billy at a bar, this time the AC. He spots Jack and wanders over to see if they can talk. Jack gives him the floor. Billy regrets his betrayal. He tells him he confessed to Chloe. Jack’s surprised he’s not in a body cast. He asks for Jack’s forgiveness. When will Billy realize that playtime is over? Jack won’t let him off the hook that easily. He’s going to give him another piece of his mind.

Will the earth ever open up and just suck Sharon in? Phyllis again advises MJ to forget both Jack and Sharon.

Nick isn’t sure how to reveal the truth to Victor but that’s not necessary as he’s clairvoyant and guesses. Victor’s concern is that the baby not get hurt. Upstairs Adam is watching as Nick is making his confession and is indignant. How dare he? Nick talks about the guilt over Cassie. Black sheep brother isn’t included in Nick’s realization that family is important.

Victor joins Ashley on the bench. Ashley is not going to dwell on what’s been happening. Victor is letting Nick off the hook for the business trip and is going on his own instead. The weather changes as a pending storms begins.

Nikki is surprised to find Nick at the ranch. She tells Nick she saw Ashley talking to the statue. She was asking for Sabrina’s blessing which is all music to Adam’s ears. Nikki is sure something isn’t right. She doesn’t want to ruin their new found good will so she won’t tell Victor.

Jack opens a briefcase and gives Billy an assignment. He wants him to show up at work every day. Spend evenings and weekends with your daughter. Find a place of his own. Jack loves Billy. If Billy wants to gain respectability he is going to have to earn it. The phone rings to Olivia.

Sharon comes home to find Chloe moving out. Chloe doesn’t understand. Sharon admits she didn’t think of the consequences. Sharon digs the hole deeper by revealing that she slept with him on her wedding day. Chloe is mortified and she doesn’t care that Sharon’s sorry.

Nick is finally home and learns Summer is at Victoria’s. As thunder roars in the background, Phyllis wants to know. What is Nick’s decision?

By the Canadian Connection

As Jack enters the ranch, he observes Adam listening to the weather report. Adam asks what he can do for him and from Jack’s repertoire of classic lines he tells him to go read the stucco or something while he visits with his sister. Not a good idea, she’s sleeping.

Up in Ashley’s room she is awakened by the sound of Sabrina’s voice calling her. She opens the door and a veiled Sabrina appears before her. As she pulls off the veil, Sabrina viciously yells at her “Victor’s mine, stay away”. Her scream brings Jack running upstairs.

Jeff shows up at his and Glo’s newfound abode which seems to be Phyllis’ penthouse as they blabber over their scheme to blackmail Victor.

At the AC, Sharon is met with a glare of death from MJ who is quick to tell her that everything would be fine if she backed off from Jack.

Nick is finally ready to give Phyllis his decision, but she quickly realizes that it is not in her favor as he claims that it’s just not working anymore for them (you think!) so go ahead and throw things, react, do something to which she replies she has no more tears left and if she did, she wouldn’t waste them on him.

MJ takes it upon herself to blast Sharon at the disaster that she has caused so many lives. Sharon feels that this is not her business and as she turns to leave MJ grabs Sharon who advises her to let go or she will call security. Just then Paul and Nikki show up to intervene. MJ wonders what spell does she cast on men that Jack is willing to take care of a baby that may not even be his. This news leaves Nikki shocked to hear that Sharon is pregnant.

Nick feels there is much to talk about, but Phyllis says it is just wasted time. Arrangements have to be made etc., she will let the attorney handle all that. Nick hopes that this will not turn out to be ugly. All the times that he claimed to love her were lies then. But it becomes quite clear to her that he is creating the perfect scenario in that he will become available even if Sharon wants to be with Jack. That way no one will have guilt and they can live happily ever after. He doesn’t deny it.

Jack enters Ashley’s room and she tells him about her nightmare. He tells her not too worry it was just a nightmare. All the while, Adam is listening in with glee.

Phyllis guesses that she bought into it hook, line and sinker of the fantasy of a perfect life with her husband and daughter. She manages to find squeeze a few tears out and then calmly tells him that he is ‘off the hook’. Nick thought his love would fade in time for Sharon, but she was the band aid he used to get over his grief of Cassie’s death. He wishes he could do something to spare the pain she is going through. He loved her, that’s the truth. She begins to lose it and then wonders what she will tell Summer, she then composes herself and tells to just go back to his history and get out.

Jeff introduces himself to MJ at the bar while Nikki is told by Sharon that Jack may not be the father and with that she wants no more judgment and leaves Nikki with mouth wide open.

Within minutes, Glo plunks herself down next to Nikki and gets into a conversation over Ashley. Nikki can’t understand her concern for Ash.

Jack says Olivia called him because she was concerned. Ash doesn’t need him to hold her hand, she has Adam, who is smiling as he lurks outside her door. Jack wants to keep a close watch on her so he will pack her a bag and take her away from there. Adam walks in the room and tells Jack that he can’t do that.

Nick can see his daughter anytime, but she won’t be there. She doesn’t want his pity and wants zilch, nada, nothing from him. He understands as he grabs his bag and leaves.

Jeff continues to make small talk with MJ at the bar, but she claims he doesn’t make her boat rock, thanks him for the drink and slips away.

Nikki having observed Jeff asks Glo what her ‘hubby’ is up to. Nikki wonders what the two are up to. Glo denies any schemes adding that a lightning should strike her if she is lying.

Adam and his lame excuse that a ‘pregnant’ woman shouldn’t be driving in this weather, Ashley totally agrees with him. Jack’s phone rings and he needs to leave right away.

Adam says goodbye to Jack ole boy and then turns to Ash to get some sleep he will be in his room. As he walks to his room he is caught off guard by Jack, who collars him and threatens him should anything happen to his sister, he will be held responsible.

Adam not fizzed by his threat, tells “Bonnie” to take the night off and cunningly remarks to himself that he just couldn’t have asked for a better night.

MJ answers the door to Paul who claims to know how she is doing after the episode downstairs. Why should he care says MJ. Just as he leaves he turns to her and says that he doesn’t know why, but there is something telling him that he should.

Like a bad penny, Jeff is in the corridor and witnesses Paul leaving MJ’s room.

Jack’s emergency has him at Phyllis’ as she tells him that Nick has left, but for good this time. He listens to her tale of woe. Jack reminds her that Sharon is committed to him. Sorry to burst your bubble Jack, but she will not stay with him. She paints a picture of what will be and how he should accept the inevitable.

As Sharon heads back to her room at the AC, Nick opens the door to his, and he invites her in.

MJ is lurking outside the door of Nick’s room feeling pity for Jack.

Nick tells Sharon that he just is not willing to stay in a marriage he’s no committed to and wants them back together. She is the love of his life. She has a hard time believing him and that her dream could become reality. Nick takes her in his arms and they exchange spit.

Jack and Phyllis are wallowing in wine over their pitiful love lives. She asks him if he can name just one man in her life who believed in her. In answer, he plants a wet one on her.

Nikki and Paul are chattering over nothing particular, and she decides to take a look in on Ashley.

No electricity at Glo’s and Jeff, and he tells her he hit pay dirt as they giddily go over Paul having something going on with Nikki’s fiancé, Paul.

Ashley is awoken as she hears her name. With flashlight in hand, she heads out of her room where there is a figure wearing Sabrina’s dress and a veil.

As Nick, the numb-nut, has now turned into a nimble-nut and he goes to it with Sharon.

At the same time, Jack and Phyllis are at it like rabbits in heat. Little do they know, that MJ is witnessing this outside the tacky house.

Opera music is playing as Ashley heads down the stairs, she pulls off the veil and we see an unshaven Adam in Sabrina’s dress. She loses her balance and Adam tries to reach for her.

Just as Nikki is knocking at the door, Adam is kneeling next to Ashley lying at the bottom of the stairs.
