WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

CEDAR OAKS: In her room, Maria was haunted by the memory of seeing Ben and Meg together. When Tim arrived to visit her she told him that she couldn't describe how she felt when she saw Ben's face for the first time. Tim explained it away by telling her that the weird feeling may have been because Ben reminded her of the man she loved -- whoever he was.

Tim gave her a white dress that looks like the one in her self-portrait. He told her that he'd be proud to attend the wedding with her in that dress, which made her ask why he is going to the wedding. He responded that with a date like her, he wouldn't miss it for anything. When Maria saw herself in the mirror in the dress that Tim gave her, she had a flash of memory of swinging on the swing on the beach with Ben pushing her.

MADAME CARMEN'S SHOP: Carmen told Ricardo that she had a premonition that Maria is finally coming home. Carmen asked Ricardo why he was going Ben's wedding, and he told her that he was going because it's important to Gabi that he be there. She admitted that she might never like Gabi, but that she'll respect Ricardo's feelings for her. Ricardo mentioned going over to Cedar Oaks to see Meg's friend with amnesia, and Carmen said that she saw this friend when she read Meg's tarot cards.

CEDAR OAKS: Just as Ricardo was about to knock on Maria's door, Tim arrived and told him that Dr. Estrada wants "Dana" to remember on her own. Ricardo responded that he just spoke to Dr. Estrada, who didn't see anything wrong with him speaking to "Dana." Tim claimed that he's just worried about "Dana's" peace of mind. Ricardo knocked on the door and opened it up.

CUMMINGS HOUSE: Joan showed some nervous energy as the Cummings family prepared for Meg's big day. Sara lent Meg her favorite earrings, which their Nana had given her, for the "something borrowed." Sara confessed that she has always been jealous of Meg because all of the guys in Ludlow went after her and not Sara. Over Joan and Sara's protests, Meg announced that she needed to go over to Ben's house. Meg responded that nothing is going to stop her wedding to Ben.

BEN'S HOUSE: While looking at the wedding presents for his wedding to Meg, Ben remembered how Maria sent drawings of their guests with their wedding gift thank-you notes. Annie arrived at Ben's behest. Ben asked Annie if she's involved in Tim's plan involving Maria. When she asked what he meant, Ben said that Tim admitted to plotting to use Maria's memory to break up him and Meg. Annie insisted that she doesn't want Ben for herself anymore. She has come to terms with the fact that she'll never have Ben, because someone else has his heart.

Ben confessed that he's been seeing Maria on the beach. When he confessed that he thinks that he's losing his mind, Annie told him that he's not, and that she can explain. Just as Annie was about to tell Ben the truth about Maria, Meg arrived. Annie decided not to tell Ben the truth, because she wanted to hurt Meg as much as possible. When she got a phone call from Joan about her wedding gown, Meg bolted, after leaving the drawing of Ben on the coffee table, but before she could show it to him.

THE BEACH: Casey kidded Michael about leaving a trail of broken hearts because of his engagement to Vanessa. Michael, in turn, asked about Sara. Casey replied that Sara's life isn't together enough for her to think about a relationship yet, and that she needs some time. Michael advised his friend not to let Sara have too much time, or she'll get away from him.

Sara arrived to discuss their toasts, but was distracted by a fantasy of Casey declaring his love for her. Sara was about to tell Casey how she feels about him, but, fearing that he doesn't feel the same way, instead said that she's just grateful for everything he's done for her.

SURF CENTRAL: Vanessa caught her putting the turkey baster in her purse, and demanded to know what she was doing. Virginia claimed that she needs to bring some things to the catering job, and stuffed her purse full of utensils. Vanessa thanked Virginia for being so understanding about her relationship with Michael, and told her that she was a completely different person when they were working together during the earthquake.

Alone in the kitchen, Virginia took the sperm sample out of the freezer. While she was holding it in her hand, Jimmy threw a basketball at her, causing her to drop the vial.

BEN'S HOUSE: Ben spotted the drawing of him and recognized it as Maria's work.
