MONDAY NOVEMBER 2, 1998

BEN'S HOUSE: Meg spotted Ben staring at a photo of Maria in her wedding dress. Later, Sara arrived, and Meg explained to Sara that she and Ben were about to give Maria's personal effects back to her. Sara told Ben that Meg just was trying not to show how much this bothered her, and Ben responded that he and Meg weren't helping Maria only for her sake. They were hoping she'd get better so she would be able to grant him a divorce. Sara reminded him that he didn't want to let Meg get hurt by this. Meg and Sara left to take Maria's things to her.

OLIVIA'S HOUSE: AJ and Olivia got ready for the party. They were dressed as Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara. Olivia said that Annie will be the life of the party wearing the ruby necklace. AJ wondered if Annie would be so fond of the necklace if she knew that the rubies are connected to a quite gloomy legend. He told her that he didn't believe it. AJ professed his love for Olivia, but ruined the mood when he said that he wants to find the same kind of love that Caitlin and Cole have.

BERNIE'S HOUSE: When they heard someone knocking at the door, Sean, Amy, Emily, Leo and Brad hid. The visitor was Hillary, who went into Bernie's office, leaving the door open. She told the back of his chair that "it's" happening to her, too, now, and she was a slave to the gems. The kids overheard everything. Hillary turned the chair around. When she saw Bernie, she screamed. Saying that it will be just a matter of time until she ends up like Bernie, Hillary left. Amy and company decided to investigate. Sean turned the chair around and everyone saw that Bernie had been mummified!

RICHARDS HOUSE: Cole convinced Caitlin that it wouldn't be a good idea for her to wear the necklace to the party. She asked him to help her with it, but he got a shock when he touched it. He suggested that maybe it was just his subconscious bothering him. He took the necklace off, and Caitlin asked him to put the necklace back in the safe. He wouldn't let her give him the combination, so she opened the safe and left him alone. While Cole was putting the necklace back, Gregory and Annie caught him and accused him of trying to steal it. Caitlin explained that she had tried on the necklace, and that Cole was just putting it back. She declared that if they can't trust Cole, she, Cole and Trey will move out after the party.

Later, Olivia and Annie discussed how to get Cole to try stealing the necklace. Meanwhile, Caitlin told AJ that Cole got a shock when he touched the necklace. Hillary arrived wearing a witch's costume, and Francesca arrived in her nun costume. There were several (as in at least two) other nuns at the party. Cole cornered Francesca and tried to make her leave, but she wouldn't go. Caitlin saw them together. Hillary started chanting and the necklace began to choke Annie.

MADAME CARMEN'S SHOP: Carmen came in when Maria was trying on the wedding dress. Carmen insisted that the wedding dress would help her remember, despite the fact that Maria said that it didn't make any difference. Carmen started pressuring Maria, and she bolted. Later, Meg and Sara arrived. When Carmen told them that Maria had left, Meg correctly assumed that Carmen did something to frighten her. Carmen avoided the blame by saying that it will all be Meg's fault if anything happens to Maria.

THE PIER: While trying to avoid costumed partygoers, Maria -- still clad in her wedding dress! -- ran into Ben.
