MONDAY AUGUST 31, 1998

SAINT JOSEPH'S: Meg admitted that she wonders what Maria was like. Gabi urged her to ask Ben. Meg believed that she and Maria wouldn't have gotten along because a person's friends say a lot about a person, and Annie was Maria's best friend. Meanwhile, Ricardo blasted Ben for dishonoring his sister and their family by marrying Meg in the same place he married Maria. Gabi and Meg overheard Ricardo and Antonio arguing about whether Ben was the cause of Maria's death. Ricardo was furious to hear Antonio had agreed to perform the ceremony. Later, Antonio gave Ben and Meg a list of possible dates. He begged off his dinner date with Ricardo and Gabi. Ben and Meg chose a date. She suggested that they go to Cedar Oaks to give "Dana" the good news.

INN AT SUNSET BEACH

PARTNERS: AJ and Olivia discussed their desires to keep Cole in town, even though AJ didn't share his reasons. She declared that she can't lose Trey again. AJ persisted in not believing that Olivia lost her baby because she was drinking. He told her that he'd do anything to save her son, just like he'd do anything to save his own.

BYE-BYE, DADDY: Caitlin informed Gregory that she and Cole were leaving Sunset Beach that day. She believed that Cole is taking her out of town for a fresh start, but he was suspicious that Cole was up to something. He reassured her that he'd always be there for her. After she left, he vowed that Cole was not going to take her away from him.

BLACKMAIL!: Francesca told Cole that Phillip set him up to take the fall if anything happened during a robbery in Germany. Cole pretended to be unimpressed by her threats, but Francesca pointed out that he has a family to protect. Just as Francesca asked him if he was going to stay in town, Caitlin returned. Francesca hid from view.

Caitlin wanted to make love, but Cole told her that he was going to supervise the repairs to the waffle shop. He wanted her and Trey to go to San Diego without him. Francesca eavesdropped as Cole sent Caitlin to San Diego to visit Elaine. When he asked why she wanted him to stay in town, Francesca kissed Cole.

GRENADINE'S: Olivia gushed that he's a very good friend, but AJ insisted that he had hoped that they were more than friends. She told him that she'd be more easily able to be more than friends with him if he promises not to ever talk about her baby again. While they were kissing, Gregory arrived. AJ left for a meeting, and Gregory warned him to leave Annie alone. Later, Olivia broke down at the thought of being separated from Trey.

Ricardo was fine with Gabi standing up for Meg, but he didn't want to attend the wedding with her. He told Gabi that he gave Maria away at her wedding to Ben. She got him to agree to think about going to the wedding with her.

CEDAR OAKS: When Annie saw Maria, she fainted. Tim claimed that Annie was hypoglycemic, and told Maria that once Annie has a chocolate bar, she'll be fine. He carried Annie from Maria's room. When he left, Maria thought that Annie's name sounded familiar. Tim tried, unsuccessfully, to convince Annie that seeing Maria was just a dream. He finally admitted that it was real, telling Annie that Maria doesn't remember the last five years, due to an accident that she was in several weeks ago.

Tim explained that he didn't say anything to Maria about knowing who she is because he was afraid that the news would be too much for her. Annie realized that Tim was going to use Maria to break up Ben and Meg. Tim offered to sell his Liberty Corporation stock to her in exchange for her silence.

Annie was overwhelmed when she came face to face with Maria again. Tim reminded her that Maria needs to be kept calm. Annie was tempted to go along with Tim's plan, a temptation that got worse when Tim offered to give her his stock. Annie wrestled with her conscience. Just as she was about to give in, Ben and Meg arrived.
