Matt finally returns home after his and Van's fight where she told him not
to come home.  She thinks that he is coming around to see her side when he
pulls out a quilt that he bought in a baby store the night before.  It was a
heritage quilt that mothers and daughters made together, and Van is very
happy.  Until, she finds out that Matt stills wants her to have the
C-section.  He says that her dream about Maureen coming to see her and
telling her that she'll watch over Van and the baby, is a sign that it's the
right thing to do.  They realize it's not going anyway and he leaves her
with the piece of paper from Ross that says he is going to have her declared
mentally unfit and force to have the C-section.  Matt says he'd rather have
her alive to hate him.

Harley visits Philip in his office to get him to sign some house papers and
finds out that Philip is going to have a press conference to try and undo
some of the Annie damage.  They go through the press conference with Harley
on the sidelines until she says something out loud, and Philip brings her in
front of the cameras to introduce "the woman he loves".  After everyone
leaves, Philip locks the office door and cancels the rest of his
appointments for the day, making Harley a very happy woman.

Dinah walks in on Hart and Cassie making out in the tack room of the barn.
As usual, a fight ensues between the three of them.  Dinah calls Cassie a
slut, again!  Cassie leaves Hart with Dinah and tells Dinah to just get her
stuff and leave.  Dinah pleads with Hart and wants to know exactly when it
was the she lost him to the blonde.  Hart isn't sure exactly but he knew the
moment that he met Cassie that there was something between them.  Dinah gets
Hart to kiss her and feels absolutely nothing from him. She storms up to the
house and walks in on Cassie and Tammy who are talking about how much Tammy
misses her daddy and doesn't understand why he can't be with them.  Hart
comes in, and Cassie hands Dinah a box of pictures that she found.  Dinah
opens the box and throws them all away and storms out saying she doesn't
need anything from there anymore.  While she is on the porch, she watches
Hart and Cassie kissing and calls her assistant to track down Cassie's
ex-husband.

Reva walks in while Annie is trying to work her magic on Eddie, but to no
avail when Eddie tells Annie goodbye.  Reva tells Annie that everything that
is happening to her she has brought on herself.  Annie tells Reva that she
forced her to do it all, so it's her fault.  Reva waves a file folder in
Annie's face and tells her it is all the information on all of the stuff
that Annie has done.  It is proof that will make sure she'll be put away for
a long time.  Annie tells Reva to leave that she is waiting on a call from
Alan any minute that will save her.  The guard comes up and tells Annie she
had a call.  Annie yells and thinks it was Alan calling to save her, but it
was just the public defender to say he was on his way.  Reva laughs.  Annie
tries to get under Reva's skin by talking about Josh but it doesn't work.
Reva and Harley and Cassie, all the people she has tried to hurt, have come
out on top.  Annie yells for the guard to kick Reva out, but she is leaving
anyway.  When she leaves, Annie curls up on the cot and cries.  The guard
comes in and puts his hand on her shoulder and asks if she is alright.  She
smiles an evil grin and says she is now.
The End
