  • Phyllis continues pressing Jack for info on this woman he'll be taking to the christening but he doesn't tell her much. She threatens to call Ashley.

  • over at the rave, Mack tells JT that she's planning to leave now, despite JT's pleads for her to stay. He also tells her he sold the ecstasy he had to Brittany. After hearing this, Mack decides to change her mind and stay. Mack tells him that no one knows where the ex is coming from and that it's dangerous. At that time, rave guy is brought out unconscious and people are scared. Mack runs over and asks Billy if he took the ex Brittany bought from JT. He says he didn't

  • Keith Dennison walks into Ryan and Victoria kissing and blows a gasket. Ryan explains all that went on between him and Tricia in the past few months to him, about how she wasn't well and is spiraling downward. Keith doesn't buy any of it, especially when Victoria butts in with her two cents
  • Nikki and Katherine plan Mack's 17th birthday party by tossing around a few ideas. Esther reminds them that their plans sound so unlike what Mack would want, meaning Mack would want something simple and not the kinds of things they tossed around.

February 15, 2001

  • Warton and Carter discuss the possibilities of kids getting sick and having to go to the hospital from the ecstasy and if that happens, the town will be in an uproar and for sure the investigation will lead back to them. Carter heads over to the coffee house and asking people there if they know where the rave was. No one can help him. Cody apporaches him and tells him he too thought about checking it out and wouldn't mind going with him too. Carter brushes it off like he's no longer interested in going to get Cody to back off on that idea. He heads back to his apartment and they both say they struck out in finding out where the rave is. Carter reminds him that if the cops question Jordan (rave guy), he'll probably finger him as the middle man and the two of them will be going down. He gets a call from Tricia and blows up with her when she asks him to come over to be with her. Warton tells him he might as well go over there as there's nothing else he could do about the drugs
  • JT and his buddy talk at the rave. JT sticks drugs into his pocket after Mack calls him to go in. Mixing around the rave, rave guy takes a hit of ex. Billy and Brittany both notice Mack and head in a different direction. JT suggests to Mack they should give the ecstasy a try. She tells him if he does it she's taking off because she doesn't want any part of it. JT then decides to sell his two pills to anyone who wants them. Billy confronts Mack on why she's there. She tells him it's none of his business that she can do whatever she wants. Rave guy then beings to show the effects of the ecstasy as he's burning up, even though he's drinking lots of water.

  • Baldwin and Phyllis meet at the coffee house. He tells her that he just had a meeting with Victor and he fills her in on details. She wonders if him backing down from taking up Diane's cause against Victor isn't because he's head over heals for Christine. He brushes it off. She then tells him that she's not happy that Ashley set Jack up with another woman for the christening and is thinking about crashing it to check her out. Baldwin tells her not to do that
  • Tricia is surprised and not too pleased to see her father in town. He tells her he's done some job and is there to check in on her.

  • Victor comes home to his apartment to find Diane gone. A while later, Paul is suddenly there talking to him. They discuss Diane and the future of his services.

After hanging up, Nick and Sharon celebrate over the news. Cassie walks in and they tell her the good news too. When we come back, the "celebration party" has mysterously happend and finished and Cassie is off to bed. Nick and Sharon talk about the new coffee house and the need for a manager, then it turns to Carter and how disappointed he is in him for jilting them at the last minute
  • over at the coffee house, Billy and Raul talk about if it's true Mack wasn't going to the rave afterall. He tells her that he believes she changed her mind and the reason is due to something between her and Billy. JT shows up in some stupid blue cowboy hat. They tell him about Mack not going to the rave and call him a loser because of it. JT plays it off and tells them that they're just jealous Mack wants to be with him and not them. Once Billy and Raul leave him, he mumbles that it better had not be true, that Mack is bailing out on him. Over to Billy sitting outside we see Brittany walk in in some blue plastic dress along with a pink fuzzy jacket and clown glasses. Basically she looks like a circus performer. She goes inside and we then see Mack walk in behind her. Billy looks at her. She comes over and tells him she has something to say to him, about what she thinks of him. She says that she tried to give him good advice because she cared for him, but that changed the night before after seeing him give Brittany the ring he once gave her. She says she's finally seen the real him and how different they are and how crazy she was to ever think they could be together. She walks away. Once inside, she tells JT that she changed her mind and isn't going to go to the rave. He tries to change her mind but she refuses and walks out. Billy watches the whole thing and has a good laugh over it. Brittany comes back in her costume and they head out to the rave. JT's friend then comes over and suggests to JT that he's got the hots for Mack. JT doesn't deny it and calls her a "challange". Mack overhears them talking and JT saying that Billy got so rattled when he heard he and Mack were going together. This has Mack thinking once again and perhaps might change her mind and go to the rave afterall, which we can see for a mile coming, but this is a "soap" and so we're supposed to have things drawn out
  • Ryan tries to get a hold of Tricia on the phone and finally succeeds. She brushes him off and hangs up on him. They pan out and we see Tricia in bed with Carter. Ryan heads over to Victor's office and while there, Victoria enters. Yadda yadda yadda...Tricia crap once again. At this point I start to look out the window here and notice that it hasn't stopped snowing yet...oh, scene change. She gets interrupted by a phone call. It's Nick giving her the good news about Diane.
  • after her talk with Nick on the phone, Nikki and Jack talk about Diane moving on but Jack sounds like he's defending Diane but denies it. He reminds her that there is a loose end still remaining that could cause major problems, that being Victor finding out how the sample got switched and that it's her doing. She reassures him that she used a fake name and it won't get traced back to her or have any link to him too. She's also confident Victor will drop it and not look any further into things now that Diane is gone
  • Tricia gets dressed to leave. Carter suggests them celebrating her soon-to-be departure from Ryan but she mocks him. She wonders if she's becoming a bad person by not being able to stop thinking of ways to hurt Ryan the way he has hurt her. Carter lets her know she's not bad at all. Warton drops by again and pretends to be there to use the phone. Tricia leaves. Warton has some news for him and that's the reason for him busting in so urgently. The news is that the guy they bought the escasty from went underground because the cops are hot on his trail due to the last batch he made and sold was bad stuff and caused some kid to get really sick from it. Carter gets all worried now
  • over to the rave, finally some action. Billy and Brittany enter. Brittany notices some guys making an esctasy deal. She excuses herself from Billy and looks like she's interested in making a buy. She wants to buy 2 but rave guy tells her he's got only one left so she doesn't buy it from him. Billy comes back and she tells him part of her plans for the night has been put on hold but could be back on later, but Billy has no idea what that means. They head out to dance and we see Mack and JT enter

He shows up and tells him about Leanna being out at the ranch and her talk with her
  • Victor enters his apartment and sees Diane all set to leave. He asks her where she plans to go but she won't tell him. He believes it's another one of her stunts when she doens't want to say.

Victor tells her go for it if she wants to waste her money and would even provide a witness to them drawing blood from him for the test. He leaves.

They talk about the rave and future dealings with Nick for esctasy. Carter continues talking to Sharon once he gets back. She tells him she's not uncomfortable with him saying he thinks she's a friend. He then offers to take her and Nick out for dinner in the next week. She says she'll talk to Nick about it and get back to him. She leaves. Rave guy confronts Carter after hearing he plans to leave his job and town, saying he can't leave him hanging out to dry with the drugs after just one deal. Carter takes him outside to have a talk with him. They set up one more deal through him and then Carter tells him that any other deals afterwards will have to go through Nick directly. Nick shows up later and fills Sharon in on his talk with Victor. The two of them leave and tell Carter they can be reached at home if needed

Later on, Leanna shows up to talk to him about the stuff Diane has been saying to her about how she wants to proceed with Victor. She then accuses him of advising Diane to change her mind and demands him to call her and tell her to ignore whatever he told her. He tells her to leave and she does
  • flip over to Paul in his office, talking to Lynn about business. Nina calls the office to talk to Paul. She asks him if he could keep checking in on Philip as she might be out there for another 2 months. He says he wouldn't mind doing that. She asks him to say hello to Tomas if he sees him around.

As they talk about Mack being upset with Billy over something and might not go to the rave, Brittany stands off to the side listening in and smiling after hearing that
  • Brittany and Billy meet up at the coffee house. They talk about Mack not showing up and how maybe giving her the ring was the best thing as Mack now seems to be avoiding him. Brittany takes off. Raul and Rianna show up. They talk about Billy asking her what she thinks the bracelet means, that maybe he's hoping it's not something serious. Raul then gives her a present, a necklace she was wanting. She looks happy but doesn't sound it. I blame it on poor acting. She gives him a present in return. It's a personalized keyring. He also doesn't seem too happy over it, more bad acting. They then kiss

She goes through what all the stars mean and he says it's based on how well they danced. She then suggests finding someone in his book to set Jack up with and he reluctantly goes through it for someone. When he doesn't seem to find someone she takes the book again and picks out someone named Bunny and sets her up with Jack. Can you just see it now? Bunny Abbott? Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

  • once at the office, Jack thinks back to his romp with Phyllis the night before. Jill walks in looking for an update on what has been going on with him and Phyllis.
