An angry Kevin barged into the penthouse and faced off with DV. When Kevin told Eve his reasons for loathing DV, Eve realized just how hurt Kevin would be if he learned about her betrayal. Frank admitted to Courtney that it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep the truth about Neil's paternity a secret. Neil's plea for peace between Joe and Frank made Frank realize that he should leave town for a while. Courtney realized that her relationship with Frank was more than friendship and was upset to learn that he had left town.

Courtney is asking Lark about Frank's whereabouts. Lark told her he didn't say where he was going but took an airport cab. Lark asks what's up with Courtney and Frank and Courtney says she's just worried. She says he's been a good friend the past couple of weeks, maybe her only friend. Relationships are more complicated as you get older. Lark told her Frank says everything is complicated with her. Lark agrees to watch Neil while Courtney went to stop Frank.

Frank, waiting at the airport, is lost in memories of he and Courtney ending with remembering her announcement with Joe of this pregnancy. At the hospital Rachel and Chris meet and he comments that she looks very happy. She told him they have a new Chief Resident just as Monica, Dr. Boardman and Karen round the corner talking about it. Monica asks the residents for 5 minutes and told them Karen got the job. Matt is gracious and everyone seems quite pleased even those who wanted the job. Joe is proud as punch and announces it to the staff. Chris asks Rachel how she plans to tell Scott she engineered it. She says she will let him find out on his own. Chris says there's no reason to butter him up until Julie is free to claim Christina. Rachel says that after her meeting with Julie today, she is primed to pass the competency test with flying colors.

Meanwhile, Julie, frantic after her meeting with Lucy, is calling him. She leaves a message that he best call her before Dr. Davis gets there or she WILL go insane.

In the hospital, Chris has gotten party favors and passes them out. Karen jokes about the $1,000 she promised Rachel. There is much celebrating. The party breaks up and Karen asks Joe if he's sure he's okay with this. He is and she brought up their bet. She told him she wants them to take ballroom dance lessons together. He say noooooo but she begs.

Chris return Julie's call with Rachel standing by. Julie went off on him demanding to know why he let her believe Christina was in PC. He told her he's on his way. Chris told Rachel that if they don't get the reevaluation rescheduled, they could be in BIG trouble. Courtney arrives at the airport looking for Frank. She has gone to all the other gates and is frustrated. Suddenly, there's Frank. She breathes a sigh of relief and runs over to him. And slaps him. He asks why and she say she wanted to make sure she had his attention. Frank asks what she's doing there and she told him she came to collect the $50 he borrowed. :) She asks why he's leaving and he says it was her idea - take a nice long vacation in Hawaii. She say that was when she wanted to get rid of him. And now? Now she doesn't. They both reiterate that sentiment - "you don't?" "I don't." He told her he's leaving for Neil. She says that doesn't make sense. He says Neil asked him not to fight with Joe and the only way he can do that. She asks him to stay for Neil but his mind is made up. What if Neil needs him or something happens to Neil? What about their baby? He said he wanted to be with her. He says she's got Joe but she says she wants him. She needs him to confide in. Does he want her to spill everything? He does and she can't. Frank says she's not ready to accept the truth. She asks him to stay but it's not enough.

Julie paces and waits for Chris. He and Rachel arrive but Julie wants to see Chris alone. Rachel convinces her to let her stay. How could he withhold this info? He thought it would upset her this way. Bullpoop, says Julie. Why is Rachel taking his side? She's not. They are both liars. Rachel says she's right. She knows Christina is Julie's child. But Chris didn't tell her. Julie attacks Chris.

Courtney, hearing the door opens, thinks it Joe but it's Frank. He couldn't miss watching her get fat. She didn't gain much with Neil. She is glad he came back. She told him she knows how messed up the situation is and that she will make it as easy as possible for him. He says nothing is easy with her.

Joe and Karen at the hospital. He says they are going to school - dance school and he brought her dress. They leave happily.

At Ferncliff, Julie is demanding to be taken back to her room but decides to listen to Rachel. Rachel just figured it out on her own. Julie acted like a worried mother and that can't be faked. She saw a mother's heartbreak. Rachel uses the loving mother spiel and Julie buys it (I didn't). Julie says she will lose her mind if she doesn't get her child back. Then she better pass the competency test. She says she can't do it today. Rachel insists she can. In comes Dr. Davis!

Karen and Joe arrive at the dance studio for their lesson. Joes says they only teach the tango and she went to change. Ricardo and Angelina enter and introduce themselves. Joe confirms a secret pan with them and says Karen will never forget this lesson.

At Ferncliff, Julie prepares for her re-evaluation and Rachel asks if she can have a word with Julie and Chris before it begins. Rachel tells Julie she can do this and that she promises to reunites her with Christina if she does. They both tel Julie to focus and use her daughter to help her. They remind her they are both on her side and exit.

Karen, changed (she looks *good* in that dress - nice legs!) comes into the dance studio, Ricardo comments on her beauty and Joe introduces them. Karen begins to prepare to dance with Joe but Ricky told her she will be his partner for the lesson. The music begins and so does Ricardo; blatantly hitting on her. Karen, uncomfortable, looks to Joe but finds him getting similar treatment from Angelina. Karen keeps looking toward Joe but finds no help. She finally, after doing dance moves that caused me pain to watch, :) just plays along looking uncomfortable (and not from the dance!).

At Ferncliff, Chris and Rachel wait anxiously. Chris laments that Julie found out all that info just before the re-evaluation. When asked, Rachel told Chris that she told Julie she knew about the baby because it was the only thing that would focus her. In the visitor's room, Julie fields the questions pretty well, discussing her relationship with her father, her childhood, etc. She says she never got her father's approval and that it hurt and made her angry. She took that out on others. But then, she says she'd never treat _her daughter_ that way. She denies having a daughter *now* but does Dr. Davis believe her? She says she has nothing to hide.

Back at the dance studio, Karen seems to have gotten into the "mood" and he dancing continues. When Karen mentions the tango and how they were supposed to take ballroom, Ricky says he can teach her *anything*. LOL She figures out Joe's little joke and really plays along to Joe's consternation until Joe "cuts in." She says no that she and Ricki are just warming up. Joe is unnerved but good natured.

Rachel and Chris still waiting. Chris says he'll break Julie out if she is not released. Rachel told him NO! He must promise he won't. But quick fixes are his specialty. He says in the past he'd have sailed off into the sunset. Why doesn't he do that? He would but he cares too much for Julie now. Back in the visitor's room, the doctor asks Julie about Cooper. She told him the kidnapping story with great pain (or so it seems). She has several flashbacks to Cooper and walling up Eve and Lucy. She says Cooper wanted her to be his mother, inside and out.
