Another World Update for 9/23/93 courtesy of Cari D. Burstein KBAY- Kevin, Matt, and Brett are talking about Carl's transgressions. Kevin tells Matt that Carl was arrested and Matt wants to send out a newsvan to cover the story. Lorna arrives and wants to know why Kevin is trying to convict Carl, because she thinks he's innocent. D&M- Dean & Jenna are there and Maggie shows up to see Stark. She wants to change because she thinks she looks like a kid. She rushes out as Stark is arriving. Jungle- Ian & Paulina awake very much intertwined (I'm assuming they made love although it was never directly stated). Ian wants to know why they made love. Jungle- Ian wants to know why Paulina risked her life to follow him into the jungle. Paulina tells him she thinks his love for her saved her life. She says she know Ian hasn't let anyone get that close to him before, and that he made his life a mission to finish Daddy Dearest's work. Paulina says it's time for him to think about his own dreams. He says his life was empty before and that he even feels lonely when he's with Paulina. D&M- Maggie dresses outrageously (read slut) as Stark gets impatient waiting for her. When he sees her, he says she looks like a tramp- nothing like the fresh faced young girl that Lorna had described. KBAY- Victor shows up and worries about Lorna. Lorna tells Kevin she doesn't think it was Carl who set the bomb & that he could still be in danger. He tells her about the pen found by the car and the newspaper article (with the death threat clipping cut out). Lorna says Carl's not stupid enough to make such dumb mistakes, that he's too smooth an operator. Brett asks why Ryan's not on the case, and Kevin says because he's family. Victor has a flashback to the gym when Kevin made a comment about the article, and starts to realize that Kevin's framing Carl. Kevin says they should celebrate Carl's arrest. Victor makes a pointed comment about Kevin probably getting the new job. D&M- Maggie tries to explain away her slutty clothes when she realizes Stark hates them. She says she wore them to school as a joke and the kids dared her to wear them to meet Stark. Stark says he likes her twisted sense of humor. Then Stark tells Dean he booked him on the Conan O'Brien show next week in New York. Dean says he wants Jenna to go, but she insists she needs to stay home. Maggie starts getting ideas about wanting to go to NY w/ Dean. KBAY- Matt and Brett talk about Ryan. She says she's over him & she's happy for him and Vicky. She wants to know when she can start decorating KBAY. He says he needs Donna's ok. Brett accuses him of not sharing what's going on with her, even though they're supposed to be friends. He tells her he's broke and he can't get a loan and will most likely go bankrupt after the next payroll. He had similar difficulties at D&M and he doesn't want a reputation as a crappy businessman- he wants to be self-made like Mac. He won't even consider a loan from his Mom. Brett says she admires him, that she's attracted to the heroic type. She says she had a lot riding on KBAY too, and that they should go celebrate defeat (don't ask me!). They go to Tops. Jungle- Paulina tells Ian about her foster family and how she always felt alone- her only family was Hannah, and that she wished for her mother. He sympathizes. She says she always wanted to be connected, and Ian tells her he's glad she found her family. He says he never really had a family. She tells him that her pain of not having a family made he act to change her life and maybe it's the same for him. He says his life is in the jungle. She asks if they can't just love each other. They kiss & it progresses. Tops- Brett and Matt buy drinks and toast "hitting the bottom." She says she gets a lot of redecorating job offers, but not the type of jobs she wants. She wants something more. Matt asks if she wants a boyfriend, but she says not now- she has too many questions about the meaning of life. She needs something more in her life. A bank broker who had turned Matt down for a loan shows up and says he changed his mind and offers the loan. D&M- Maggie and Dean sing while Jenna watches. Lorna shows up and Jenna wants to know why she's out of the hospital. Jenna tells Lorna that Maggie made a bad first impression on Stark, but now she has him wrapped around her little finger. Lorna says she has to leave, and Jenna wants to know what she's up to. Lorna now thinks Carl did plant the bomb and she says she going to let him have it. Courthouse- Kevin gives statements about Carl's guilt to the reporters. The bomber dude gets mad at Kevin and threatens to tell all because Kevin doesn't seem to be living up to his end of the bargain. Victor is watching the conversation. Courthouse- Kevin says he'll guarantee the bomber dude a quick hearing if he keeps his mouth shut. The bomber guy found out Kevin's trying to pin it on Carl and is afraid of retalliation. Kevin threatens him w/ jail but the bomber guy threatens back. Victor overhears the conversation and then leaves. Carl shows up w/ reporters in tow. Kevin tells Carl that the prosecution is only interested in justice. Carl says justice will prevail and tells his friends and family through the cameras that he is innocent. Then he goes into the courtroom. Tops- The banker says he's willing to lend Matt all the money he needs. He says they turned him down at first because of an error, but that they're looking for lean and hungry entrepeneurs and Matt fits the bill. He says the check will be ready by the end of the week and then leaves the table. Matt is excited- now he can implement all his long term plans and can have Brett remodel KBAY. At the phone, the banker talks to someone and says Matt doesn't know who's involved in the loan (neither do I). Jungle- Ian tells Paulina they have to go, and is upset when Paulina says the two of them will be together. They leave. D&M- Maggie tries to wiggle her way into the New York trip, but Stark says he won't send her because she's still in high school. She fantasizes that they go off to NY to party and leave her like Cinderella to clean the floor and pick up pizza crusts. Stark tells he that if she does all the brute work now, when she grows up, in 20 years, she might make it in the business. He and Jenna are mean to Maggie, but Dean is outraged at their treatment of her. He says Maggie is special and kisses her. When she snaps out of her fantasy, Stark tells her good luck, and he thinks she has a chance of making it someday. Tops- Brett says she's over Ryan, but Matt says he's still on her mind. Brett says she sympathizes with Ryan because of what's going on with Carl. Ryan is happy and Matt says it makes her miserable. They stop talking about it and go off to the bank in good spirits to cash a very large check. Courtroom- Carl wants to call Ryan but the police officer in charge of him won't let him. Lorna shows up and they talk. Carl thinks she still believes him and he's happy for her company, but she lets him know that she thinks he did it and she's mad. She says that there's too much evidence for her to believe him. Kevin's office- Kevin tells Victor that he might be chief prosecutor soon. Victor says he has some questions for Kevin. D&M- Dean and Jenna talk about NY. Dean tells Maggie she did a good job and offers her a ride to the hospital for her volunteer work. He reminds her she needs to get straight A's as he and Jenna leave. Maggie picks up the phone and calls a travel agency to get tickets to go join Dean in NY. Jungle hotel- Ian and Paulina show up. She asks him to get them a room. Ian says she should take a plane home. She wants to know if he's coming with her. Courtroom- Carl insists to Lorna that he's innocent and he's being framed. Kevin's office- Victor says that he talked to his ex-con friends and the word on the street is that the bomber guy cut a deal with the D.A. (a.k.a. Kevin). He says he found out the bomber dude is into explosives. Courtroom- Lorna says she refuses to believe Carl, no matter how convincing he is. Carl warns her not to let herself be manipulated. Lorna leaves. Kevin's office- Victor accuses Kevin of bombing his own car and framing it on Carl. He says because of him Lorna almost died. (The classic AW freeze frame closes on this scene)
