At Roseanne's Room at the Palace...

Roseanne adds some finishing touches to the bed in the suite and looks at it with pride. Will enters the room and she greets with Happy Valentine's day. She tells him that they have that room for the whole night. They declare their love for one another.

At the Palace Hallway...

Téa, reviewing her bill from the front desk, runs into Kelly. Téa tells her she has a date with John. Kelly tells her that she plans on spending the evening alone. Téa reminds her about her drinking spree with Max at Club Indigo and asks if she was drinking when she printed the Club Indigo ad.

At Club Indigo...

R.J. is furious about the club's ad in The Sun- "Club Indigo: A Place for Losers" (it's supposed to be 'lovers'). Max tries to cover for Kelly's misprint and teases R.J. about his crush on Téa. Dorian walks in and wants to talk to only R.J. She tries to hire R.J. to follow Viki for her.

At the Crossroads...

Ben reads the Banner checking to see if his ad in the personals about the earring is in there. He asks the waitress, Sophie, if 'Blondie' has called about the earring.

At the Banner...

Kevin's workload is taking it's toll on him. Viki tries to console him, as it's obvious that he's thinking about Cassie. He tells his mother that at least when someone dies, you can mourn them, but in his case, she's still alive but they cannot be together. Viki then tells him that work will not help him and that he should hire someone to help him with his work. Blair walks in fresh from an assignment (the finals of the Mud Wrestling championship). Viki is shocked to see that Blair is who Kevin hired ("You're kidding. Your hired her?"). Kevin explains to his mother why he hired Blair. Viki then warns Blair that she will not put up with her antics and also tells Kevin that Blair is his responsibility.

Jessie feels alone since she thinks that only her father thought of her during Valentine's Day. Cris arrives with a single rose in tow.

At Roseanne and Will's Room...

Roseanne and Will's evening is put on hold because Will has to go to Lamaze class with Jessie. She then gives him his Valentine's gift- condoms- so that he wouldn't have to stop to get some on his way back. He then gives her his gift- a necklace. They agree to continue their evening when he gets back from the birthing class. He leaves.

At Club Indigo...

Dorian shows R.J. the Crossroads matchbook and pesters him to do the job. R.J. tells Dorian that she has to stop bottling up her feelings about Mel's death. She leaves, but runs into Kelly on her way out. Kelly greets her aunt, but Dorian tells her that she is nothing to her and leaves. Kelly tells R.J. that the ad misprint is Max's fault. He asks her if she came all the way to the club because of the misprint or for Max. Téa walks into the Club- to R.J.'s delight. They both talk about the typo in the ad. She tells him that she has a date with John. R.J. isn't happy to see that John is Téa's date. Max tells Kelly that he has the original ad in his office- to prove her wrong and that it was her fault. They both go to Max's office. R.J. mans the bar alone as he looks and Téa and John.

At the Crossroads...

Ben is upset that the person to relieve him at the bar hasn't arrived yet. Sophie teases him about the earring mystery. Dorian walks into the bar- very unimpressed with the place. She finds a table and tries to tidy it up. She asks Sophie if she knew Viki, handing her a $20 at the same time. Naturally, Sophie says she does because Viki is Todd Manning's sister. Dorian asks Sophie if Viki has been in the bar lately, again handing another $20. Sophie again takes the money and says she's not sure. Dorian finally realizes that the waitress has never seen Viki there at all and decides to ask the bartender about Viki.

At the Banner...

Kevin and Viki cannot find Blair. Jessie and Viki talk about Will being a part of the baby's birth. They talk about romance and how silly/romantic the personals can be. Viki asks Jessie to read one to her and it starts out "To Blondie"- which dumfounds Viki.

At Club Indigo...

Blair, all dressed up, walks in and is greeted by R.J. Blair asks about Max and R.J. tells her that he is with Kelly. That surprises Blair. Téa and John's date seems to be one-sided: John is loving every minute of it, but Téa seems distracted. He tells her that he is ready for a relationship and asks her if she is, too. Blair confronts Max and Kelly who just came out of his office. Blair accuses them is getting ready to file for bankruptcy. But Max tells her that he and Kelly are sleeping together. Kelly is shocked with Max's statement. But Blair tells him that even Kelly is not that stupid.

At the Crossroads...

Dorian asks Sophie again is she is sure she hasn't seen Viki in that bar. Sophie then tells her that if she did she would ask Viki to get Todd's autograph for her. Dorian then tells her that she will ask the bartender. Sophie warns Dorian that he is unstable and might hurt her. Dorian decides to leave. Ben asks Sophie what Dorian wanted and she tells him that she wasn't asking about him.

At the Banner and other parts of Llanview...

Will arrives to take Jessie to the Lamaze class. They reaffirm their plans to give the baby up for adoption. They leave. Kevin sits in his desk and orders a dozen red roses for Cassie in Switzerland, but does not want to send a card, as long as she knows that someone is thinking about her on Valentine's Day. Zach informs Kevin that the blizzard will actually hit Llanview. He looks at her picture and walks to the window and stares out at the snow falling. (At that moment, a Vanessa Williams song comes on).

Out in a rest area near the Crossroads bar, Dorian can't seem to get her car started and is stuck and her cel phone is dead, too. She reaches for something in the glove compartment and sees Mel's picture. She gently touches it and reflects on Mel.

In Roseanne's room, Roseanne, looks and her lingerie that she has ready and then looks at the necklace that Will gave her.

Wednesday, February 17, 1999

Written by: Marina Lawson

As I begin this recap, I apologize to those who may like Bo and Lindsay together. I personally cannot abide her, she gets on my last nerve. And now that it's been pointed out to me that Sam licks his lips all the time, that's all I can see when he comes on! Here goes:

Dorian's Car

Dorian is stuck in her car in the storm, talking to Mel's picture and thinking of Viki, at home out of the storm.

The Bar

Viki has come back to the bar for her earring. When the Ben goes to get it, he finds it missing and asks Sophie where it is. Sophie feigns innocence and when there is no sign of it, the bartender offers "Blondie" a drink.

The Palace

Renee greets Asa with a kiss. She tries to get rid of him, but he sees Bo and Lindsay together.

Bo spies Asa from across the room and mentions his presence to Lindsay. Lindsay insincerely tells Bo she's sorry she's causing trouble for him and his family. Bo apologizes to Lindsay for Asa's behavior. Bo and Lindsay talk about the storm, but the talk inevitably winds up about Nora and Sam.

The Inn

Nora and Sam arrive at the inn and are shown to a room called "The Cupid Suite." Nora asks Sam what he had in mind, what were they running from?

Lamaze Class

The Lamaze instructor is describing childbirth as a wonderful, intimate experience, making Jessica and Will uncomfortable.

The Bar

Viki tells Ben that she came back for her earring. He says he'll look for the earring, but Viki wants to get home before the storm gets worse. Sophie, who was on the phone, tells her she's not going anywhere, the storm is getting worse. Viki goes to make a phone call. While she's gone, he asks Sophie what she's done with it. She denies taking it and he presses on, reminding her about her comments on the earring's worth. Sophie asks if it's really about the earring, or something else?

The Inn

Sam says he's not keeping anything from Nora. Nora asks him again for the truth. She says he looks scared, and she's worried. Sam says he could never get anything by her, but the less she knows, the safer she'll be. Sam has Nora get in bed to rest. Sam then tells her that in the past he stirred up a hornet's nest, and he thinks he stirred it up again. He tells her he saw a person he refused to defend at his father's funeral. Nora realizes that Sam's hand injury has something to do with the "person" and reminds him of her experience with Todd and her refusal to defend him. Sam says it might just be paranoia, all he cares about is that the people he cares about are safe. Nora says he still hasn't told her what he's afraid of. Sam says he's told her too much already.

Dorian's Car

Dorian tries to keep herself awake by listening to the radio and cracking open a window. Her car dies. She knows she has half a tank of gas, but the car won't start.

The Palace

Hank and Lisa enter the restaurant and approach Bo and Nora. They talk about the storm and Lindsay wonders about Will and excuses herself so she can call him (Doesn't the woman let up? Isn't Will an adult!). Lisa excuses herself so Hank and Bo can talk. Hank asks Bo what the deal is with Lindsay. Bo says "it's not like that." Hanks tells Bo that Nora is moving on, why shouldn't Bo? (I have to say Hank's loyalties really suck). Bo asks Hank what that means, he doesn't want to be the last to know again. Hank says he's talked to Rachel; she tried to get a hold of her Mom but there was no answer. They agree she's being well taken care of, and they both know by whom.

Lindsay comes back to the dining room and Asa stops her. Asa warns Lindsay, Bo will always love Nora. As he tries to go on, Bo rescues Lindsay. Bo tells Asa that he's moving on with his life and defends Lindsay. Asa tells Bo that he won't be blind for long, he'll soon see what a snake in the grass Lindsay really is (go Asa!). Bo tells Lindsay she doesn't have to listen to Asa; Lindsay tells Bo it doesn't bother her (but it obviously does).

The Inn

Sam tells Nora that she knows the real him. They discuss Sam's father and the parallels between them. They discuss Will and his current living arrangements. They have a really boring conversation about "this baby" and have a tender moment, but then Nora draws away. Nora wants to know what Sam expects from her. Sam says he expects to take care of Nora and the baby. Nora says that wasn't what she was asking. Sam knows what she is asking and says he really wants her to be happy, and if that means with Bo, then so be it.

The Lamaze Class

The Lamaze instructor instructs Will to gently massage Jessica's tummy. Will is into it, but Jessica is not.

The Bar

Viki is unable to make her phone call because of the storm. She returns to the bar and she and Ben make conversation about their children. He speculates about Viki's life and she looks on with interest.

Sophie looks on from across the room and takes out Dorian's business card. She puts it back in her pocket.

Viki and Ben start to talk and the conversation turns to pregnancy and unwed mothers. Viki gets upset as he makes crude comments about unwed mothers. He begins to asks her more questions and Viki refuses to answer. She gets up and leaves the bar.

The Palace Restaurant

For someone who isn't bothered by Asa's remarks, Lindsay goes on and on about how Asa mistreats her. Bo compliments Lindsay and she coyly says hasn't heard compliments in a long time. They talk about Clint and she says she truly cared for him. Lindsay starts to talk about marriage and how your partner can disappointment you (nothing like driving in the stake deeper) and as she talks she starts to fondle Bo's hand. Lisa and Hank approach and interrupt the moment.

Lisa tells Bo that she's going back to the station because of the storm. Bo volunteers to go, but Lisa says she'll call if he's needed. Bo sits down with Lindsay. Lindsay asks if he's needed and Bo says he thinks they'll be able to get through the rest of dinner with interruptions. Lindsay says she doesn't think she can make that much conversation; Bo says who says they have to talk and moves in for a kiss (I couldn't watch), but the restaurant lights go out (hooray for the storm!). Bo apologizes and Lindsay says she'll be ordering an expensive dessert because he'll be picking up the tab. Bo apologizes again and they gaze at each other.

The Inn

Apologies abound because Nora is apologizing to Sam for making things tough for him. Nora goes on to say that there may be no future for her and Bo, but all she can think about is "this baby." She again asks if this is where Sam wants to be and he answers yes. Nora is suddenly unsettled by the storm. Sam reassures her and licks his lips.

The Lamaze Class

Will and Jessica leave the class and are about to get on the elevator when the instructor asks them if they want to stay for the get together. They tell her they have other plans and get on the elevator. Will and Jessica discuss their respective plans (hers with Cristian, his with Roseanne) when the elevator suddenly stops. They realize they're struck.

The Bar

Ben tells Sophie he wants the earring back. Sophie tells him that "Blondie's" never coming back when the door suddenly opens; it's Viki. He apologizes to her and she stops him, telling him the only reason she's back is because the roads are blocked.

Dorian's Car

Dorian pounds the steering wheel in frustration. She has no phone and the car won't start. She begins to panic and yells for help.

Written by: Dawn

Jessica and Will, taking an elevator out of the hospital, begin to open up to each other. She tells Will that she's so mean sometimes because she's confused. At times, she feels like she enjoys the mom and family gig, but then her bubble breaks and she realizes she's Jessica Buchanan--young and unmarried. Will asks her if she's begun to consider keeping the baby. She starts to answer, but the elevator stops and the lights go out.

While Will was stuck in the elevator, Roseanne, clad in black lingerie, becomes desperate as she waits for her love to knock on the door. As she walks around a fancy room filled with balloons, she hears a knock. Unfortunately, it's Cristian. She whines to him and rips off her necklace. "Why does everyone who ever loves me leave me?" she asks, deep in melodrama. As Cristian tries to comfort her, they share a long, passionate kiss.

As the storm blows through Llanview, Bo was at the reins, directing everyone on what to do and who to help. As he works, Nora rests in a room with Sam. They talk and he says he is ecstatic she is the mother of his child. They realize that they must walk down the parenthood road together now. Nora asks Sam if he wants his name on the birth certificate. He, of course, says yes. Nora panics as she realizes she's feeling labor pains...and not good ones.
