THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 1998

OLIVIA'S HOUSE: Olivia decided that she needs Francesca's help to get Cole out of Caitlin and Trey's life, but that Francesca can't know that she's helping Olivia. She told Bette that she needed to contact Francesca because she dropped an earring at the party. Bette told Olivia that Francesca's staying at St. Joseph's, which, Bette suggested, may be more temptation than Antonio can handle, because apparently Antonio and Cole both have a history with Francesca.

ST. JOSEPH'S: Gabi listened in as Antonio confronted Francesca about stealing the photo of the Madonna. Francesca told Antonio that she wanted the photo as a memento of her greatest moment of triumph, so Antonio told her to leave the mission. Francesca begged Antonio for compassion, but he replied that he'd never trust her again. He learned the hard way not to trust her in Mexico.

Gabi went to confession and admitted to Antonio to listening in on his conversation. Gabi said that she eavesdropped on a friend because she was worried about him and his involvement with a woman from his past. So, she decided to confront the woman herself, and when she went to the woman's home, she found them in conversation. She is sorry for eavesdropping, but not for her concern for her friend. Antonio told Gabi that God forgives her and so does her friend. He gave her penance of one Hail Mary. After her confession ended, Gabi asked him not to ask her to stop caring about him, because she can't.

INN AT SUNSET BEACH: Cole heard someone in the shower. He thought it was Francesca, but it turned out that it was Caitlin, who came home early because Elaine was called out of town unexpectedly. Caitlin asked if anything exciting happened while she was gone, and Cole claimed that the time was uneventful.

To celebrate her homecoming, Cole and Caitlin were about to make love. But, Cole received a phone call from Francesca telling him that she'd be right over. In an effort to get rid of Caitlin, a frustrated Cole sent Caitlin and Trey to see Olivia. Just after Caitlin left, Francesca arrived. She reassured him that Caitlin didn't see her. When Francesca told him who their next mark is, Cole tried to change Francesca's mind, but she wouldn't be swayed. He realized that Francesca is up to something beyond what she claims.

THE BEACH: Amy and Brad gladly watched as Sean tore into Emily for revealing his secret. Emily told Sean that she asked Bette for advice about what to do about her desire to help him with his rapping. At first she only said it was a friend, but eventually she couldn't stand it and told her mother that it was Sean. He worried that Bette won't be able to keep it to herself, but Emily explained she was certain that Bette wouldn't say anything, because she counseled her to keep Sean's secret. Sean declared that he can't trust Emily and stormed off. Amy saw Sean leave and moved in for the kill. Later, Emily told Bette about her fight with Sean, blaming herself for betraying his trust.

JAVA WEB: Sara told Casey that her plan was to tell Melinda that she and Casey have broken up and that she wanted to help Melinda with the book, so that she could catch Melinda confessing on tape. Casey warned Sara that Melinda is dangerous and that he should be the one to handle her, which she interpreted as meaning that he thought she's too weak. They were put to the test when Melinda arrived. Sara blamed Casey for all of her troubles right in front of Hank, Joan and Melinda. When Hank and Joan tried to reason with their younger daughter, she left. Casey left soon afterward. Hank confronted Melinda angrily. They had words and she left.

Meanwhile, Sean arrived, followed by Amy, who pretended to feel sorry for him. He saw right through her.

OLIVIA'S HOUSE: Caitlin told Olivia that she was glad to be home, especially since Trey doesn't have the bond with Elaine that he has with Olivia. Caitlin told Olivia that Trey makes up for the babies that they both lost. Launching into her plan to get Trey back, Olivia reminded Caitlin that she only got Trey because Cole was so desperate to be a father, and suggested that it would be too difficult for Caitlin to raise Trey alone if she didn't have Cole. When Caitlin left the room, Olivia told Trey that they're going to spend a lot more time together.

OUTSIDE: Casey caught up to Sara and congratulated her on her acting job. Melinda spotted them talking, and grew suspicious.
