ANOTHER WORLD TODAY EPISODE #116-1 (And Soap Opera 451's 2,500th post!!!)

"Talking to Fowler, it reminded you of Lori Ann and Dean, and how, if he gets a mind to, he could just take off with her and we'd never see — "

"No!" Frankie interrupted. "No, not at all, no. I trust Dean. And I think he trusts us, too. We're going to make this work, all of us, we're committed to it."

"Oh." Cass felt lost again. "Then what's wrong, Frankie?"

"What's wrong with you?" she flipped the question and indicated his now equally empty glass. "Why the self-medication?"

"Oh," Cass pondered the nearly melted ice-cubes. "That."

"That."

"I asked you first."

"Seriously, Winthrop? How many years of law school and that's the best you can do?"

"I'm just a humble private investigator these days. And your mood definitely bears investigating." Cass put down his tumbler and eased the dishes out of Frankie's grip — she'd been holding it like a shield between them as soon as he began asking questions. He took both her hands in his. "You're scaring me, Mary Frances."

"I don't mean to, I....I just don't know how to even begin."

Frankie balks at filling Cass in regarding Jamie's accusation, Rachel and Carl, Lucas and Felicia, Donna and Matt and Spencer and Alice struggle to deal with the consequences of Jeanne's televised bombshell, while Grant rails at Morgan over Marley's condition.
