07/10/96 Kelsey Gets Lectured




"Ruth had hard words for her granddaughter Kelsey who still wasn't familiar with the proper etiquette of raising a child. Kelsey first tried to pass off babysitting duties on Ruth and Joe and then made a comment that Sam's needs would have to wait until she was done doing for herself. Ruth gave no slack to Kelsey as she related all of the pains and chores required in raising a baby properly. Then Kelsey learned that Sam would be sharing sleeping quarters with her. This didn't sit very well with Kelsey especially when Sam woke up from his sleep crying. All of this led Kelsey to ask herself "What was I thinking?"

Christopher returned to Kinder's secret hiding place only to find that both of his prisoners had escaped. He immediately took to the chase to try to find Toni before Jonathan returned. And he almost found her because he wandered in the Marick Mausoleum. If Jonathan hadn't chosen that moment to place a call to Chris' cellphone, he may very well have found her. Jonathan told Chris to kill Janet and dispose of her body and then to revive Toni for questioning. Chris left his search for Toni and returned to the hideaway. He got there just as Jonathan arrived from Erica's house. Chris lied and said that he had dumped Janet's body where no one would find it, but that he had to give Toni some additional medication because she was having a nervous breakdown. Jonathan accepted his henchman's story and said that Chris should call him when Toni woke up.

Janet showed up at Pierce's apartment in the gallery and tried to get him to accompany her back to Wildwind to help out Toni. Pierce, however, wasn't so willing to lend a hand. He was furious with Janet over her lies and her plans to off Brooke and assume her identity. Janet begged Pierce to forgive her and said that she was only temporary insane and never was going to actually go through with her hair brained scheme. When Janet explained that she would have done anything to get Pierce to love her again, Pierce just shook his head in disbelief. Again, Janet pleaded with her former lover to help her out. Pierce refused and told Janet to stay away from Brooke. Before Janet left, Pierce asked her what had happened to her and why was she away. Janet told the truth---that she had been kidnapped and drugged--- but ended her sentence by saying "I guess I'm the little girl that cried wolf."

Janet went back to the Mausoleum with two candy bars and a bottle water. Toni took a few sips of the water, but declined and food because her stomach was doing cartwheels. Janet vowed to Toni that no one would take their freedom away from them.

Maria and Dimitri's consoling soon turned to passion as the two made love. Immediately after their romance ended, the two knew that they had done something horribly wrong. Maria stayed speechless and cried herself to sleep in the Hunting Lodge. As Dimitri left the lodge, he ran into Edmund who wanted to know if his brother had heard anything from Maria. Dimitri escorted Edmund back to the main house where the talked about what happened. Dimitri apologized for going behind Edmund's back. Edmund, of course, thought Dimitri was talking about his getting Maria a plane and faked passports. Dimitri didn't confess to sleeping with Maria, but he didn't say that Maria was at the hunting lodge, either. Dimitri returned to the lodge and watched over Maria. Edmund looked around the castle for his missing wife, but when he found Sam's blanket in one of the room's the emotions proved to be too much for him. Peggy found Edmund holding the blanket and sobbing. She went over to the man she had seen grow from just a boy and tried to comfort him."
