TUESDAY AUGUST 18, 1998

RICHARDS HOUSE: When Tim saw that the picture was labeled "Annie & Maria," he realized that Dana is Maria! Suddenly everything made sense -- the way that she recognized Ben's name, his keychain, etc. He decided that he had to tell Meg.

SURF CENTRAL: Jimmy stared at Vanessa's face, and Virginia reminded him that wasn't polite. Jimmy asked Vanessa if the marks on her face were why she left, so Vanessa explained about Martin's Syndrome. Tyus arrived, and Jimmy asked if he was going to cure Vanessa. Tyus assured Jimmy that he was working hard to find a cure for Martin's Syndrome. They decided it was best not to tell Jimmy that Michael also had the disease.

Once they were alone, Tyus informed Michael that because he gave it to himself with an injection, the disease would progress differently in him than it will in Vanessa. Tyus told Michael that the disease was spreading. He got angry with Michael for giving himself the disease. Michael's eyesight dimmed. When Tyus declared that he'd do anything for Vanessa, Michael realized that Tyus was in love with her. Later, Michael collapsed, to the horror of Vanessa and Virginia. Tyus admitted that he feared for Michael's life, and even if he survived, he may never be the same again.

BEN'S HOUSE: The Coast Guard called to say that they couldn't find Sara and Casey. Ben knew the area better than most, so he arranged for a helicopter to fly him over to look for them.

Meg told "Dana" (Maria) how sorry she was that she couldn't help her regain her memory. "Dana" (Maria) wondered, once again, why those who love her haven't been looking for her. Meanwhile, Ben found a box containing cufflinks, which reminded him of his and Maria's anniversary -- when Maria gave the cufflinks to him.

Joan took "Dana" (Maria) back to Cedar Oaks.

THE ISLAND: Sara tried to comfort Casey when he was mourning everyone who died on the ship. Sara realized that he blamed himself for not being able to save everyone. She gave him some moral support. Later, Sara tripped and fell into Casey's arms.

RICHARDS HOUSE: As Tim was leaving the house, he ran into Ricardo, who spotted the picture of Maria. Just as Tim was about to tell Ricardo that Maria was alive, Gabi interrupted them. Tim decided not to tell Ricardo about Maria, in hopes that when he tells Meg, she'll turn to him for comfort.

BEN'S HOUSE: When Tim arrived to tell Meg that "Dana" is Maria, Joan informed him that she and Ben had gone out.

THE HELICOPTER: Meg realized that Ben conducted a similar search for Maria. Ben admitted to Meg that he couldn't help but think about Maria, but that he was finally able to let her go. Meg realized that she's never seen a photograph of Maria and asked Ben what she looked like.

CEDAR OAKS: "Dana" (Maria) decided that she never belonged in Cedar Oaks because someone loved her once -- and she wondered if he still did. Maria dreamt that she was walking through Ben's house when Meg walked up to her and said, "Welcome home."
