FRIDAY JULY 10, 1998

CEDAR OAKS: Meg described the mystery woman to Tim. He told her that she came into his room before, but wouldn't speak to him. When Meg said that she's stunned that Derek was responsible for all of the bad things that happened, Tim reminded her that Derek wasn't on the boat the night that Maria died. Meg tried to convince Tim that Derek was the reason that Ben was angry with Maria, but he wasn't appeased.

After Tim left the room, Meg confessed to Sara that she slept with Derek to get back the connection to "Ben." Meg thought it was ironic that after so many years of thinking that Maria slept with Derek, it turned out that Meg, not Maria, is the one who slept with him. Sara thought it was a mistake to tell him, but Meg insisted that she had to tell Ben the truth.

RICARDO'S APARTMENT: Ben told Carmen and Ricardo that he didn't believe Maria when she said she had never slept with Derek. He went to the Mariah, and she followed him, and jumped onto the boat as it was pulling away from the dock. They argued about her relationship with Derek, and Ricardo asked if he believed Maria. Ben admitted that he was so angry, he had stopped listening to her. When they got caught in a storm, she went overboard. Ben insisted that he jumped in after her, but Ricardo didn't believe him. Ricardo argued that if Ben had ever loved Maria, he would never have believed Derek when he said that he was sleeping with Maria. Ben confessed that he'd always feel that he let Maria down because he was angry with her when she died. Carmen insisted that Maria's still alive, even though Ben saw her go overboard.

ST. JOSEPH'S: Olivia only managed to say the words "my baby" before she fainted. Annie realized that it was seeing Annie holding Trey that triggered her memory, so she handed him to Sean with the words, "he's your brother, or your nephew, whatever he is." When Olivia regained consciousness, she couldn't remember remembering Annie kidnapping her baby. Caitlin blamed herself for Olivia's condition. Olivia and AJ left the room. When Annie went to follow Olivia, Caitlin stopped her.

AJ asked Olivia what happened just before she passed out, and she insisted that she was holding her own baby, not her grandchild. AJ told her that it was just a normal reaction to holding any baby in her frame of mind. He reminded her that holding Trey brought back her memories once before.

Sean foisted Trey back onto Annie. Trey threw up onto Annie's dress, and Annie started to lose her temper. Caitlin rescued Annie from Trey. Meanwhile, AJ made a business proposition to Cole.

In the ladies' room, Olivia wondered whether whatever she remembered was too painful to retain. As she was wondering what it was that made her remember, Annie came in. Olivia pointed out to Annie that she has everything she ever wanted, but that Annie will never be happy, because she doesn't know how to be happy. Annie tells Olivia to "put a cork in it," which triggered Olivia's memory again. Olivia grabbed Annie and exclaimed, "You stole my baby!"

RICARDO'S APARTMENT: Carmen tried to comfort Ricardo. He told her that it used to be easy to hate Ben, and that he can't understand why he misses Maria more every day.

CEDAR OAKS: Tim returned to the room, and Ben arrived to speak to Tim privately. When Ben asked Tim why he's acting the way he is, Tim responded that the last thing he saw before he fell was Ben's face. Ben told Tim that it was his fault that Derek was able to get away with what he did. Tim said that Ben's past keeps hurting Meg and that he'll be watching Ben to see that it doesn't happen again.

Meg heard the mystery woman crying out in her sleep. She went in to see if she can help the mystery woman, who woke up when she was reaching for the call button. Meg offered to get a nurse, but the mystery woman asked her not to. Meg told the mystery woman that she'd do anything she can to help, including leaving the room. The mystery woman stopped Meg before she can leave the room.

When Ben came out of Tim's room, Meg was gone. He asked a nurse where Meg went and she directed him to the mystery woman's room.
