FRIDAY AUGUST 28, 1998

CEDAR OAKS: Ben walked into "Dana's" room and introduced himself to Angela, the woman in the catatonic state (who Tim had conveniently put in there!). When she didn't respond, he left. Meanwhile, Maria was working on her picture of Ben in another room of the hospital.

Ben returned and told Meg that her friend was sleeping. After they left, Tim asked Annie why she followed him to Cedar Oaks, but she refused to tell him what she was there for. He ducked her, realizing that she was the last person who needs to see Maria.

Tim was in the process of moving Angela out of Maria's room when Maria returned and asked what he was doing with Angela. He claimed that Angela wandered into her room and that he was helping her back out.

Annie returned to spy on Tim. She hid behind the desk and listened as Tim and Maria brought Angela out of the room. She went into Maria's room, where she spotted the drawing of Ben. Annie showed Tim the picture of Ben that she found in Maria's room, which proved to her that he was involved in some plan involving Ben. Tim told Annie that the artist was working from a photo of Ben. She offered to help him with his plan in exchange for his Liberty Corporation stock, but he refused on the basis that whatever she's up to won't be good for his working relationship with Gregory. Later, Tim and Maria went back into her room, Annie opened the door and was shocked at what she saw!

RICARDO'S APARTMENT: Carmen arrived and declared that she has had a strange feeling about Maria and Annie all day. Ricardo told his mother that as long as she talks about Maria as if she's alive, it's making it harder for him to move on and get over her death. He explained that it was his job to protect his younger sister, but he let her down. He begged his mother to let go of the notion that Maria was still alive.

INN AT SUNSET BEACH: Caitlin had misgivings about moving, but Cole insisted that he wanted them to be able to live their own lives, without their families interfering. After Caitlin went to buy diapers, Francesca knocked at the door. She blatantly came on to Cole, who avoided her advances. She challenged Cole to look at her and tell her that he doesn't want her. When he did, she said that he's a con artist and that she doesn't believe him. While Caitlin was standing on the doorstep, he was preparing to throw Francesca out.

ST. JOSEPH'S: Antonio grew increasingly frustrated with Francesca, who seemed to be reverting to her old and devious ways. Gabi came to visit Antonio, and spotted Francesca. She asked him about his relationship with Francesca, and he agreed to be honest with her -- on the condition that she not tell Ricardo. He confessed that when he first met Francesca when he was very young and impressionable. He had no idea that Francesca was a thief, and that he handed over the most valued possession of the people of Rosario to her and Phillip. He has never trusted himself, or human nature, ever since. When Gabi reassured him that he didn't intend to help them, he pointed out that he never did anything to stop them, either.

Ben and Meg told Antonio that they want to get married as soon as possible. While Ben was alone making a phone call, Ricardo approached him and accused him of disgracing Maria's memory, and of slapping the Torres family in the face by having Maria's brother marry them in the same church where he married Maria. Antonio walked in while Ricardo was telling Ben that he'll make sure that Ben can't make the past disappear.

SURF CENTRAL: Tyus got Michael's test results, which proved that the cure works. He promised Vanessa that the cure will work on her, and thinks that it may even help Lena. Michael asked Vanessa to marry him today.

Tyus told Virginia that he knows how she feels about Vanessa and Michael, but she insisted that he can't possibly know how badly she wanted Michael. Then she left the room. Out in the hallway, she ranted and raved about how everything she has ever done was for Michael, and that he'd never know it. She found the blackmail pictures of Vanessa and Tyus in her purse and decided to show them to Michael.
