I must be jinxed.  My first week on Tuesdays and I miss the first 15 minutes
due to Clinton's announcements.  Maybe someone in another time zone could
help out with the beginning.  Anyway, here's what I got...

Sophia tells CC all of the reasons she'd like to get out of the hospital in
time for Christmas.  CC comments that she didn't mention Ken.  Micah comes in
and tells Sophia the toxicologist said she can go home tomorrow.  CC goes
outside and finds out from the nurse that Ken hasn't been around all day; CC
tells her to locate him and have him come to the hospital.  Later, the nurse
tells CC she's tried everywhere, but there's no sign of Ken.  Probably out
spending her money, CC murmurs.  CC goes back into Sophia's room and lies that
Ken called and left her a message that he loves her, didn't want to wake her.
CC asks what she has planned for Christmas.  She supposes that she'll be with
Ken and CC will be with Angela.  They both comment that they used to think
they'd spend all their Christmases together.  She falls asleep and he leaves.

Gina is wearing a slinky black number and Lionel is in full Santa garb.  They
flirt verbally and start hugging and kissing.  He goes to change.  After a
little trouble getting his boots off, he comes back in red pajamas (I think
they're pajamas) that say "Peace on Earth".  He also brings some champagne.
They count their blessings and reminisce about Channing's birth almost a
year ago.  They snuggle under the covers, accompanied by the whistle of a
toy train that is circling under the bed. [I must have missed something here!]

Lilly sits at Rafe's bedside; he seems to be in a body cast from some sort
of accident at the dig site.  He opens his eyes but doesn't seem conscious.
Ted wonders if Lilly would heave him for Rafe.  He tells her she doesn't look
at him the same way she looks at Rafe.  She apologizes if she's hurt his
feelings.  She tells him she'll try to be honest about her feeling for Rafe
just like he's been honest with her about Angela.  He wonders if she'd go
back to Rafe if he became free.  She ducks the question by answering that
it looks pretty unlikely that Rafe and Lisa will break up.  Then he asks
Lilly if she loves Rafe.  She tells Ted she loves Rafe a little--just like
he loves Angela a little.  She notes that they've learned something; they're
both concerned about losing each other, which could indicate deeper feelings
for each other than they realized they had.  Then she reassures him that she's
not going to leave him--not even for Rafe.  They hug.  Micah tells Ted and
Lilly that Rafe has a slight concussion but will recover fully.  They're
very relieved.  Giovanni goes to look for Lisa in the chapel.  He tells her
that Rafe is going to be OK.  Lisa tells him she felt responsible for Rafe's
accident because of her lies; if she wouldn't give him up, then he'd be taken
away as a punishment.  Giovanni tells her that's not the way it works.  She
has confessed to God and has been forgiven; now she must confess to Rafe.  She
tells him she doesn't know if she's strong enough.  He says she can borrow
strength from him.  They go back to where Rafe is.  Lisa thanks everyone
for their support.  Micah says that Rafe is out of danger and may be moved
to a private room.  Lisa accompanies him.  Lilly and Ted head home.  Lisa
thanks Micah for all he's done.  Giovanni reminds Lisa what she needs to do.

Rafe lies unconscious in his room with Lisa at his bedside.  He dreams that
he is standing between Lilly and Lisa.  He asks Lisa what she's keeping from
him.  Giovanni arrives and starts to marry Lisa and Rafe; Rafe protests
because Giovanni isn't really a priest yet, so they won't really be married.
Again, he asks Lisa what she's hiding.  Then he sees an empty cradle--no baby.

Kelly finds a picture of Connor and a woman named Molly.  She says to herself,
"That's the name on the tombstone.  Is that your wife?"  Connor comes in with
some wood.  He asks Kelly what she's been doing.  She claims to have just been
sitting around.  He asks her, if that's so, why are her shoes wet.  She says
she went out to look for some wood and he seems to buy that.  He apologizes
for snapping at her and she notes again that he's been on edge ever since
they got off the plane.  She wonders where he's been; just walking down
memory lane, he says.  She comments that there's one question she's never
asked him:  has he ever been married?  He laughs and wonders what gave her
that idea.  Anyway, if he had been married, wouldn't he have told her by now?
Not necessarily, she replies; he's been pretty closed-mouthed about his
family.  For instance, it's 3 days before Christmas and he doesn't even want
to see his mother in the same city.  He leaves the room to get something.
Looking around again, Kelly notices a gun in the drawer.  Scared, she puts on
her shoes and gets her suitcase.  Connor comes back with a quilt of his
grandmother's--then he notices that Kelly is about to leave.  He asks her
where she's going.  To a hotel, she replies--she doesn't like it there.
Connor tells her there's no way she's leaving.  She asks if he's holding her
against her will.  He points out that there's a blizzard going on and no way
to travel.  She agrees.  He goes to get more firewood.  While he is gone.
Kelly calls Esther Mae McCabe (presumably Connor's mother, thought she claims
not to be) and pleads with her not to hang up.  She says it's very important
to know what Mrs. McCabe means when she says she doesn't have a son--does she
mean the person Kelly is with is not Connor McCabe, or does she mean she
doesn't recognize him to be her son?  Mrs. McCabe says she won't talk about
him.  Kelly asks if she'll talk about Molly--Kelly has seen her grave.  Kelly
asks how she died.  "He murdered her," Mrs. McCabe replies.  Connor looks in
through the window.

See you next Tuesday -- Ilene
