Monday, September 17th:
At the hideaway, Lyle hides the newspaper from Julie-- he knows she would
freak out if she read of her father's death. Lyle calls Mrs. Whitmore and
demands the $2 million ransom. Mrs. Whitmore says no money until she speaks
to Julie. Julie reluctantly gets on the line, then starts to break down when
she hears her mom's voice. Lyle yanks the phone away before Julie can learn
her father is dead. Upset, Julie tells Lyle she can’t go through with the
hoax. Lyle menacingly tells her there's no turning back, then mollifies her
with a bag of cocaine. Julie can't wait for them to run off to Mexico
together, but Lyle plans on escaping to Las Vegas with the cash, alone. At
the hospital, it looks as though Natalia is about to tell Sasha she’s his
mother, but she backs off, knowing it’s too much information too soon. Back
at the mansion, Ivan is out for Natalia’s blood, mortified that she set him
up to be humiliated by Francisco. Jeff shows up and says Natalia isn't the
murderer and explains about the panties. Ivan is really upset, so he locks
himself in the library with a bottle of vodka and the Francisco sex tapes.
Hungover and miserable the next morning, he throws the tapes in the fireplace
but notices one he hasn't seen before marked "WILL". He pops it in and
watches amazed as Boris reads his original last will and testament-- Boris
decrees that Natalia will never run Spyder Games and wills her quarter of the
estate to The Fort Kent Tree Frog Foundation. Across town, Dmitri and
Daphne have enjoyed a blissful night of love-making. He notices her panties
on the floor--an identical design to the ones found in Boris’ back seat! He
also remembers that Jeff said that “Suzy” had red hair. Daphne says she
made a few pairs of these panties, but they were too expensive so she took
them off the boutique shelves, dividing them among herself, Cherish, and
Taylor. Gina the madame calls Jeff. Gina says she interrogated her girls
and learned that Suzy, Boris's favorite escort, died six months ago from a
drug overdose. Bummed out, Jeff thanks her and hangs up. Then Taylor hands
Gina an envelope stuffed with money and tells her ex-boss that this should
settle their debt.

Tuesday, September 18th:
Ivan calls Merna to the mansion with a copy of Boris's "official" DVD will. To Merna's delight. Ivan says Natalia will be leaving Spyder Games forever very soon. At Spyder Games, Todd has an erotic dream about his fantasy marriage to Natalia-- they wear matching pajamas and play video games. Ivan arrives, DVD in hand, and fires Todd. Merna will supervise his packing up. Natalia is outraged. Ivan tells Natalia he found another copy of Dad’s will--the original copy, before she and Todd edited it. He also tells her he knows she pretended to be Buddy to torture and humiliate him. Natalia panics, tries to deny it, but Ivan says she is out of the company, Lyle goes to the cabin to borrow Taylor's gun. She gives it to him, thanking him for all the help he's given her. Taylor is packing and tells him she's going to the Carlisle mansion, explaining she has the ultimate weapon and is going to use it. Dmitri is is stunned Taylor owns a pair of Daphne's panties. Daphne thinks Taylor had a rich sugar daddy who gave her a fabulously expensive necklace. Dmitri is afraid he knows who that sugar daddy was, but doesn't tell Daphne that it's Boris. Dmitri asks Daphne if Taylor left a brush in the apartment. Daphne hands one over, expecting to hear Dmitri's theory. Dmitri promises to reveal all when he is sure-- he says he and Daph will be together every night from now on. He exits and Daphne plans to snoop around Taylor's cabin with some spare keys Lyle left. Lyle talks to Mrs. Whitmore, who tells him she is withdrawing the $2 million ransom. Through the window, Lyle sees Daphne show up at the cabin-- will he find out she has keys? Dmitri goes to Sasha’s hospital room and asks if Natalia lent him a Moby CD. Sasha says yes but Taylor has it. Later, Sasha decides to leave the hsopital. A butch nurse catches him putting his clothes on. Back at the house, Dmitri gets a call from Jeff. DNA taken from the panties matches the DNA in Taylor’s hair. To Dmitri's surprise, Taylor is lurking outside the window. She comes in with big news-- Dmitri says he can guess: She was a Rising Star escort named Suzy and she was sleeping with Boris Carlisle. A shocked Taylor admits to turning to prostitution to support herself, but says that Boris thought he could own her... AND HE WAS DEAD WRONG.

Wednesday, September 19th:
Sasha is busted by manly Nurse Wendy, who confiscates his clothes and tells him he's not going anywhere. He phones Gretel and says he'll have to improvise an escape. He wants to play a set at Euphoria. Cherish and Rocio are at the coffeehouse. Cherish is not looking forward to seeing Sasha and refuses to consider singing for the crowd until he arrives. She runs off, still stung by his rejection. Sasha steals a nurse’s uniform from a laundry cart and flees the hospital in drag. At the cabin, Lyle encounters Daphne, who hides her key and lies that she's there to talk business with Taylor. She says she'll wait outside and he locks the door and drives off. Daphne uses her key to enter the cabin. Back at Spyder Games, Natalia begs Ivan for mercy, but he is determined she be stripped of her job and all Boris's money. Merna gives Natalia a farewell sock in the jaw. Ivan tells Natalia and Todd to hit the bricks. Security escorts them from the building. Julie starts to get paranoid and jittery waiting for Lyle. She calls Ashley, who knows nothing of the kidnapping hoax. Ashley mentions Julie's father's funeral-- Julie realizes he is dead and completely breaks down, hysterically reaching for the cocaine stash. Back at the mansion, Taylor tells Dmitri she dated Boris, who convinced her to leave the escort service. He menacingly told her she was all his and could never even look at another guy. Taylor says she eventually began a fling with Sasha as a way to rebel. When Dmitri accuses her of murdering Boris, she claims self-defense: The night of Ivan's bachelor party, she met up with Boris late. After sex in the Mercedes, Boris told her he had seen her with Sasha that night and that he was now going to kill her. When Boris was distracted by a dropped cigarette, Taylor whacked him in the head with the steering wheel Club, then pushed the car off the cliff. Taylor was too afraid to confess and let everyone think it was a DUI. Dmitri says her story could be true-- the jury can decide. But Taylor pleads with him, saying she knows Dmitri would never allow his baby to be born in prison. TAYLOR IS PREGNANT! Natalia fumes as she and Todd drive away from SG. Her eyes stray from the road and there are flashing headlights and squealing brakes. DID THEY CRASH? Daphne snoops through the cabin, DISCOVERING BORIS'S HEAD IN THE FREEZER!

Thursday, September 20th:
Daphne is reeling from the discovery of Boris's frozen, severed head in the cabin freezer. She realizes Lyle was in prison at the time of Boris's death, then starts to put Taylor, the necklace and the mystery boyfriend theory together... At the mansion, Dmitri is floored and outraged that Taylor’s pregnant. She begs him not to tell the police that she killed Boris. Dmitri is obviously torn and still suspicious of her, but calls Lt. Pardee and says he’s called off his investigation of his father's death and is willing to accept that it was an accident. Relieved but still brazen as ever, Taylor tells Dmitri she needs a place to stay. Dmitri coldly tells her she can stay at the Carlisle house until they can do a paternity test to determine if she's telling the truth. Taylor insists that she is. DVD will in hand, Merna calls Dmitri and says Ivan needs him at Spyder Games right away. Dmitri leaves and Taylor relishes her new digs. Euphoria is packed, awaiting the arrival of Sasha. Cherish enters and tells Gretel and Rocio she'd like to perform. Cherish takes the stage and belts out an achingly beautiful ballad called "So Much" (available on the SPYDER GAMES soundtrack CD!). Lyle phones Mrs Whitmore to finalize delivery of the ransom. She is to deposit it in a downtown trash can. Lyle says as soon as he checks the cash, Julie will be returned safely. Meanwhile, a hysterical Julie binges on cocaine and booze, wracked with guilt over her father's death. Todd and Natalia have pulled over in her Jaguar, having just avoided an accident. Todd can't hold back and confesses that HE was the one who ran over Jeff at the rave, because he didn’t want to see her reign at Spyder Games end--she's too smart, shrewd, and beautiful. Natalia is shocked. At Spyder Games, Ivan shows Dmitri the original will which cut Natalia completely out. Ivan cannot believe Dmitri is so sympathetic to her-- they have to nail her for fraud! Dmitri says Ivan doesn't realize the depth of Boris's abuse of Natalia. He asks Ivan to keep the will-editing just between them for now. Ivan begrudgingly agrees. But Merna is already aware of Natalia's crime... Taylor is making herself at home at the mansion when Daphne arrives to tell Dmitri about the head. Daphne is horrified at Taylor's smug announcement that she's carrying Dmitri's baby and willl be living at the Carlisle house. Daphne can still be Dmitri's girlfriend, but she will have to share him, with the baby, that is. Taylor slams the door in Daph's face and wickedly laughs to herself, "You lose, Sweetie. Big time!" Cherish finishes her emotional performance to so many cheers that no one notices Sasha has been watching from the back of the crowd. He approaches Cherish, clearly acknowledging some powerful new feelings. They melt into a deep, torrid kiss! Todd explains he was so driven to protect Natalia he had to take drastic action and begs her forgiveness. She is flattered by his devotion and aroused by this new darks side of Todd. Todd nearly faints, anticipating a ravishing. Then her cell phone rings. It’s Peter Alexander from the Fort Kent Tree Frog Foundation, thanking Natalia for her generous offer to chair the foundation full-time. She hangs up and with a deliciously evil glint in her eye explains to a very confused Todd that the enormous endowment Boris left for the sweet little tree frogs has to be well spent, and says that Todd is coming with her. He immediately agrees. At Spyder Games, Ivan tells Jeff he has screwed up everything in his life-- it's a disaster. Jeff interrupts Ivan with a peck on the mouth. Ivan, stunned, says he had no idea Jeff was gay. Jeff says no one ever asked, and they melt into a deep, torrid kiss! Lyle arrives back at the hideout, announcing that they have to go pick up the ransom. He is horrified to find Julie sprawled on the floor, unconscious, and possibly dead. WIll Lyle seek medical attention or go grab the two million? At the Carlisles', Dmitri tells Taylor he will be the one to tell Daphne about the pregnancy. Taylor innocently agrees, clearly forming a master plan to keep herself in the mansion permanently. Daphne enters Lt. Pardee’s office, saying she’s through being the good girl getting stepped on while the evil bitch gets away with murder. In this case, the murder of Boris Carlisle. She puts a cooler on his desk and opens it, saying she found this in Taylor’s freezer. It’s the head of Boris Carlisle! Henry puts out a warrant for the arrest of Taylor Jones. Will Taylor finally be brought to justice? How will Dmitri react when he finds out Daphne has sentenced what could be his child to a birth in prison? Caught up in the satisfaction of the moment, Daphne says to herself, it’s about time the good girl kicked a little ass!
