FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1999

SURF CENTRAL: Virginia told Jimmy that they had to get packed and leave pronto. When he responded that he didn't want to leave, she said that she had made a big mistake and the only thing to do was to move on. She told him to go to the bus station and pick up bus tickets to Portland, Oregon. She rationalized that what she was doing was trying to help Jimmy keep his mother, because he had lost his father. Michael arrived and refused to let Virginia have the tickets. He told her that her plan to leave town had reduced Jimmy to tears, so Michael had reassured him that they weren't leaving and then had sent him to school. Michael told Virginia that Vanessa lost the baby, and dragged her to the hospital to tell Tyus that she raped Vanessa and impregnated her with Tyus' sperm.

Meg interrupted Sara and Casey kissing when she came by to tell them that she and Ben were back together. She believed that fate had led them back to each other. Sara realized that if anyone knew that it was her conspiracy with Tim, not fate, that had led Meg back into Ben's arms, she'd lose Casey for certain. She fantasized about Meg telling Casey about her conspiring with Tim. In her fantasy, Judge Wapner showed up and sentenced her to life without Casey. Later, Tim came to see Sara.

SOUTH BAY GENERAL: Antonio told Ricardo that he'd done something terrible, and was about to confess, but Maria interrupted them. Antonio continued to try to tell Ricardo the truth, but Gabi stopped him, saying that they had all survived, and was all that mattered.

Tyus broke the news to Vanessa that she miscarried.

Tyus told Antonio, Ricardo, Maria and Gabi that Vanessa miscarried and asked Antonio to speak with her. Gabi asked if she could come along, since she and Vanessa are friends. After Gabi and Antonio left to visit Vanessa, Maria asked Ricardo what was bothering him, and he replied that wished he knew, but that it was more than the fact that Antonio had nearly died. He told her that Antonio said that he deserved to die.

While Gabi and Antonio were comforting Vanessa, she said she feared that she'd lost Michael permanently because she'd failed to tell him the truth as soon as she found out. You can't lie to someone you love and expect them to forgive you.

Michael brought Virginia to the hospital to face Tyus and Vanessa.

DECISION TIME: Ben told Meg that he had to tell Maria that he's made a decision. Ben found out that Maria had checked out. They made plans to go home to Sunset Beach. Ben asked Meg to move back in with him, and she agreed.

BEN'S HOUSE: Ben told Maria that he'd spent the night with Meg, and then explained his decision -- he belongs with Meg. She headed out the door and towards the water.

St. Joseph's Antonio prayed for forgiveness, clutching a crucifix until his hands bled. Gabi told Antonio that he can't punish himself forever, to which he replied that he had to make amends. They disagreed over whether to tell Ricardo the truth -- Antonio was for the idea, and Gabi against. Antonio was making one last stab at trying to convince Gabi to tell the truth when Ricardo walked in saying that he knew what they were talking about.
