Nina tells Chris she feels suffocated. She wants to get out, party, live alittle. Chris tells her to give it a day. Don't do anything till you talkto me tomorrow. Meanwhile, Ryan asking Cole about Nina. I think she wenthome Ryan. They then discuss Victoria. Ryan shows Cole the letter she wrote tohim. Later, at the office, Jill tells Ryan to make Nina feel like the mostdesirable woman in the world. He arrives home with a big bouquet of flowersonly to find a note. Ryan, I've gone out, don't know when I'll be home,Phillip is at mom's. And now we see Nina, dressed in a low-cut shirt and aleather jacket at some bar. She thinks maybe she made a mistake, untilanother leather jacket guy asks her to dance. They boogie on the dancefloor.

Chris tells Paul about Nina. Ryan calls Chris looking for Nina. Later,Chris calls Ryan to see if Nina has returned. Frankly, I'm getting worriedabout her Chris. (Of course, we see Nina could care less about Ryan andhow he feels.)

Sharon whines to Grace about the baby she gave up and the baby she mightlose. Meanwhile, Nick is getting the straight goods from dr. josh. There issurgery if the medication doesn't work, but there is risk as we will have todo a c-section and deliver the baby *prematurely*. (GIVE ME A BREAK! Thisstory has gone down the road to ridiculous! She was supposed to be almostready to deliver and now it would be PREMATURE!? Just goes to show you howSTUPID TPTB really think we are, and I guess they are right, as I keepwatching this garbage. Well, I've been fast forwarding through most of the Sharon drivelthese days. Anyway, I needed to vent. Thank you. Back to business.) Nikkisummons Victor to the hospital.

Victor has been in the middle of a tirade with Jack, Jill, and Keith. Thenumbers from the new acquisition are bad. New products won't be ready for ayear. Victor says, get your resume's ready, you might not be in business ina year.

I'll have to tell you all that I fast forwarding through a lot of today's show. They go overand over and over some stuff to death. You can see from my report just howmuch really happened in the 40 minutes of actual air time.

Jack, Jill and Keith rehash their meeting with Victor.

Ryan calls everywhere looking for Nina. Paul and Chris talk about Nina andRyan then Paul leaves to try to find Nina. He finds her at the bar. Paullurks in the background. Ryan arrives and presents himself to Nina as she isgetting ready to leave. When they get home, Nina says I'm not going toapologize. I did nothing wrong. You need to give me some space, etc. Ryancan't believe her behavior.

Sharon seems to be doing a little better. Grace returns (she's beenrehashing with Tony at the coffee slop) and talks to Nick in Sharon's room.Sharon is sleeping. All of a sudden, she pops up. Oh, it hurts, it hurts!Later, after much equipment is brought in and Josh and the tech. review theresults, the news is bad. Sharon has lost a lot of blood, her blood pressureis low, thus her heart rate is fast, stress for the baby. Now, not only isthe baby in danger, but Sharon's life is uncertain as well. No, Nick, shedoesn't have a clue and I see no need to tell her, the good doctor says.

Nina doesn't think that there is anything to talk about with Ryan. I thinkyou need some counselling Nina. What, or you'll dump me Ryan? Would youcare Nina? Later, Ryan goes to see Chris. Chris then goes to see Nina.Nina blows up at Chris and tells her to butt out of her life. She can'tbelieve Chris would have Paul follow her. We were concerned, etc. Chrisfinally leaves telling Nina when she can talk and act like a grownup to giveher a call. Nina wonders just what she is doing with her life.

A transfusion is ordered for Sharon. Later, after much waiting anddiscussion, Josh tells Nick that because of potential sudden changes, he mayhave to chose between the life of baby (which would be premature) or Sharon'slife. (You know, all the medical stuff seems to be pretty realistic saveone; the gestation of the baby. One day we see Sharon, ready to pop, "yes,it's anytime now!" and here we are saying every minute, hour, day makes adifference in lung development for this *premature* baby!) Anyway, afterpassing along that wonderful information, Josh leaves, and Nick is embracedby daddy.

Paul, Chris and Lynn conspire to fool Mary into thinking they all haveforgotten her birthday. But the celebration and the conspiracy are revealedat Gina's.

John A. quizzes Jill about Keith and his daughters. Later, Keith stops by tosee Jill. What did your daughters really think of me? The leave together.
