FRIDAY AUGUST 21, 1998

SURF CENTRAL: When Michael collapsed, Vanessa called Tyus. The good doc offered to come over, but Vanessa insisted that she could handle it. It was important that Tyus find the cure instead. Soon after, Virginia arrived home and Vanessa informed her that Michael was worse.

Virginia told Michael that she finally realized that Michael could never love her like she needed to be loved. When she pulled up Vanessa's sleeve preparing to tell them that she made Vanessa think she had a disease that she didn't have, Vanessa said that she was still sensitive from the skin culture that Tyus took to test his cure. Virginia realized that if he's using Vanessa's skin to test his cure, he was doing lots of work for nothing. She left to stop him before he wasted any more time, but didn't tell Michael and Vanessa the truth.

BEN'S HOUSE: While she was in Maria's studio to get a box they were donating to the mission, Meg found the painting of Maria with the hole in it. Ben assured her that Maria would never come between them again. Meg made excuses for why she was in Maria's studio, but Ben insisted that his house is her home now, and she doesn't need to make excuses. Meg accepted that Ben will always love Maria.

Meg asked Ricardo if he can help identify her friend with amnesia, and he asked if she would be willing to cooperate. Antonio offered to go to Cedar Oaks to visit her. The brothers decided to speak to her doctors before going to see her.

CEDAR OAKS: Maria came up behind Tim while he was looking at the picture of Maria and Annie and asked to see it. He claimed it was just a picture of the earthquake damage that he was going to send back home to Ludlow. Maria asked Tim why he didn't like Ben. Tim replied that Ben has never gotten over his first wife, who drowned. Maria got a strange feeling when Tim mentioned drowning. Tim stated that he knew that Ben never got over his first wife, and he thought that Ben still loves her.

Dr. Estrada came in and said that someone was looking for "Dana." After Maria left the room, Tim asked if a clue to her past would make "Dana's" memory return. Dr. Estrada responded that it might, but that she has no idea where to get a clue to "Dana's" past. But Tim did....

Meg dropped by to see her friend "Dana." Maria told Meg that Dr. Estrada believed that drawing will help her connect to her past, and she was surprised by how good she was at it. She was drawing a picture for Meg, to show her how important Meg's friendship was to her, but she didn't want to show it to her until it's finished. The picture was of Ben.

SOUTH BAY GENERAL: Olivia told Annie that she knows that she destroyed Gregory and Olivia's marriage to keep her stock in the Liberty Corporation. A furious Olivia smacked Annie and called her a bitch. She vowed to destroy Annie's marriage, just like Annie destroyed hers.

Without telling him that she made Vanessa think that she has Martin's Syndrome, Virginia tried to convince Tyus not to use Vanessa's sample by telling him that he might not be able to get what he needs from it. Tyus surprised Virginia with his declaration that he got all of the diseased cells he needs from Vanessa. She was shocked to realize that Vanessa really does have Martin's Syndrome.

RICHARDS HOUSE: When Ben and Gregory arrived to discuss Liberty Corporation business, Ben confessed that he sometimes wondered what his life would have been like if Maria had lived.

GRENADINE'S: When AJ suggested that neither he nor Olivia should tell Annie or Gregory what she has "remembered," she declared that neither of them can hurt her anymore.

AJ, who wanted to scrap the resort project, and Gregory, who wanted to keep going, decided to set up a time to meet to make a decision. When Olivia asked Annie which side she was going to choose, she stated that she would have to go with AJ!

BEN'S HOUSE: Tim arrived to show Ben the picture of Maria and Annie. The door was unlocked, so Tim walked in and found Ben looking at the painting of Maria. Holding the picture behind his back, Tim told Ben that he wanted to talk to him about Maria.
