FRIDAY APRIL 16, 1999

Inn at Sunset Beach: After Cole arrived, he told Caitlin that he was glad that Francesca was dead, because her death would give them a chance to get back together. She blurted out that she was divorcing him.

Java Web: After the robber shot Ricardo, he took off. Maria ran to her brother to try to stop the bleeding while they waited for the ambulance.

Gregory's Office: When Meg admitted that she was angry with him, Ben realized that Meg had been wonderfully supportive through everything and decided to make the hardship up to her. Ben and Meg were about to make love when Annie called with news about Ricardo's shooting.

Ben's House: Tim apologized for Tess's cool reception by the residents of Sunset Beach, and told her that he wanted to thank her for bringing Benjy back to Ben and Maria. Although Tim maintained that he was happy for Maria's sake, he pumped her for information about the effect Benjy's arrival was having on Meg, which aroused Tess's suspicions. Joan arrived and told them about Ricardo being shot.

The Cabin: Gabi and Antonio wondered how they were going to explain to Ricardo where they'd been all night. When Gabi suggested that they could tell Ricardo that they got snowed in helping a former parishioner, Antonio said they were becoming good liars. Gabi told Antonio how much Ricardo meant to her. He asked if she really loved Ricardo or merely felt obligated to him. Gabi told Antonio that she thought that love was wanting someone in your life and feeling empty when they're not there. Antonio asked if she was talking about her feelings for Ricardo, or for him. She said that she loved Ricardo and planned to marry him, and he asked if she was going to continue denying what they felt for each other.

South Bay General: Maria told Annie that she'd been unable to reach either Gabi or Antonio. Annie was miffed when Meg arrived with Ben. Maria and Annie told them how Ricardo took the bullet for Annie. After Meg left to get some water for Maria, Maria called Carmen. She then told Ben that Carmen said that she'd seen heartache in Ricardo's future, but that she hadn't guessed it would be this. She broke down in Ben's arms. Ben was holding her when Meg returned. Using the voice distorter and calling from a pay phone, Annie tipped the police off that the gun was in Cole's room, but she dropped her handkerchief. Meanwhile, Tyus operated to remove the bullet. Ricardo flatlined during the surgery.

Inn at Sunset Beach: Caitlin and Cole were arguing when the police arrived to search for the gun.
