be with Ben if it were. Tim told her that women are attracted to serial
killers. Annie asks if that is why he is attracted to her and he says that

knows the real truth. He says he knows that she is still drinking, and
Olivia assures him that she is definitely not drinking anymore. She is just
having a hard time shaking this flu. Gregory decides that she should see a
doctor. He told her either you make the appointment or I will. She says

is complicated, and the nurse says terminating a pregnancy could always be
complicated. Caitlin now knows that her mother is pregnant and rushes to the
hospital to stop her.
SOUTH BAY GENERAL HOSPITAL
Casey has resigned himself about Alex's fate. He told Meg, Mark and Michael
that he knew that everything would be ok when he saw Alex with the baby with
Aides. He said that all she cared about was that baby was loved before he
died, not about herself. He told them that she did that for him when he was
little, telling him that everything would be ok. Michael and Casey make up
after their little tiff, and decide to take Alex home. They enter her room
and she is already packing and asked them what took them so long. She asked
them to bust her out of there.
Olivia is in the room where the procedure is going to be done.

Caitlin is at the front desk asking about the whereabouts of her mother. Will she be in time to stop her mother from making this big mistake???
THE PIER

from Bens. He told her that it is time that she help Ben get over Maria.
She told him that she thought he was Ben's friend, and he says that is why
he thinks it is time for him to let Maria go. Annie told him he should talk
to Meg as she is his confidant at this time. Gregory says that Meg is a
passing fancy for Ben. Annie told Gregory that Ben really loved Maria, and
Gregory said that Ben didn't love Maria for Maria but what he imagined she
could be. Annie takes this all in and leaves with a smile on her face.
Gregory too has a smile on his face, when Cole comes up. Cole wants to know
who is in trouble now? He told Gregory that when he sees that smile he knows
someone is in trouble. Gregory and Cole square off about Caitlin. He hopes
that Caitlin has left Cole and Cole told Gregory that Caitlin went after
Olivia. Gregory decides that Olivia should have been home by now and leaves
to find out where Olivia could be.

The two men go to the hospital and find Caitlin who doesn't tell them what she knows. Gregory goes on a crazed search for his wife. The only problem is that she is going under an alias name. Meg reads more of the tampered diary. Ben sees her on the beach and debates whether or not to go out and talk to her...Alex, Casey, and Michael take some pictures with Vanessa shooting them. Alex gives Vanessa a compliment about her writing skills which does a lot for Vanessa's esteem.
Olivia covers to Gregory as to why sheÆs in the hospital and claims she's having an exploratory procedure done because she may have an ulcer. Just as Ben is about to give into his feelings for Meg, he pulls back at the last second and told Meg to stay away from him. Annie takes advantage of a vulnerable Ben and encourages him to let her help him forget what's troubling her. Later, she engages him in a kiss an it looks as though the two will make love. Gabi slyly gets herself invited to the Surf Central party but is un able to effectively come between Ricardo and Paula.

tells him it isn't a simple ulcer, and Olivia explains that's why she's
having the exploratory procedure. Gregory asks Caitlin to give him a call
with any news, he needs to step out of the hospital for a while. Cole asks
Caitlin to tell him what is wrong with Olivia, and she asks him to never keep
secrets from one another. Cole went to check on Olivia and asks why there is
so much mystery surrounding her "illness." Dr. Robinson comes in and realizes
something about Olivia's "friend" Cole. Later as she is asked to make her
final decision, Olivia has a flashback to one of her mother-daughter
relationship with Caitlin and her discussions with Gregory. She changes her
mind and when Caitlin walks in she told her daughter she "couldn't go
through with it." Caitlin happily hugs her mother, and she asks Caitlin not
to tell anyone about her pregnancy.
A Surprise
Ben arrives at Surf Central to see Meg. He told Meg it is time he get on
with his life with her and put the past behind him. Smiling, Meg finds
comfort in his arms as Tim watches. She asks why the studio was locked up
and Ben told her not to worry about it. Unfortunately, it has all been a
daydream of Meg's while she dances with Tim. Meanwhile Annie tries to
convince to let her "help him" by making out with him. Ben fantasizes about
Meg while kissing Annie and gets into things with Annie more so as a result
as his thought of Meg. Tim realizes Meg is thinking of Ben and asks her to
stop. At Surf Central Tim, Gabi, and Mark talk to Meg about her addiction to
Ben. Annie asks Ben if he's letting things happen between the two of them to
hurt Meg or to hurt Annie. Annie surmises that Ben is trying to be with her
because he doesn't love her and he can't get hurt or really hurt her.
However, he loved Maria and loves Meg and Annie thinks he is afraid of
hurting Meg. Ben told Annie to stop babbling, and she agrees since she wants
him no matter what. Meg went up to talk to Ben and when no one answers at
Ben's, she went to Annie's in hopes of getting a lead on Ben from Annie.
Looking through the sliding door, she sees them in a passionate kiss.
