+ AMC Thursday June 21 - Friday June 22 Myrtle spills the beans to Enid about Greg and Jenny's plans to have a baby. Enid talks to Jenny about how it is too soon (she is concerned about Greg finishing college) and about how expensive babies are. Jenny listens, but asks Enid to leave after Enid becomes nasty with her. Later, Tony calls Greg about working on his car. Greg agrees to take a look at Tony's car. Tony practices dropping the car on a crate. Tad sends Hillary flowers which thaws her towards him some, but when she goes to the Steam Pit to see him, she finds him dancing with Barbara (although Tad was coerced into dancing with her). Hillary leaves in a snit when she sees Barbara kiss Tad while on the dance floor. Later, Tad goes over to the Wallingford's, but Hillary refuses to see him. Langley arrives and asks Chuck for some of his clothes. Chuck angrily refuses, but later, Brooke allows him to take some of his clothes. Langley asks Hillary to talk to Brooke about the possibility of him managing the estate while Phoebe is gone, but Brooke won't go for it. Tad sneaks in to the mansion after Langley leaves and tells Hillary he loves her, although she is skeptical. Edna announces to Palmer that she is gracious going to allow him to host Dottie's debutante party (coming out party?) at Cortlandt manor. Palmer agrees since he needs the money desperately. Erica goes to see Palmer about Adam. Palmer is upset with her for telling Adam that it was he who told her about Althea, but Erica explains it all to Palmer. Erica buys some of Palmer's old relics and later Adam looks at them and discovers that an old photograph of Palmer has the name Pete Cuny on the back of it. Adam realizes that Palmer is Ross' father. Ross and Ellen talk at the Gate House (where Ross lives on the Chandler estate). He tells her about his mother and how she committed suicide because of his father. He tells her also how Adam took care of him. Ross is undecided about being friends with Palmer. Later, Devon and Chuck drop Bonnie off with Ellen and Ross while they take in a movie. Ross goes up to the main house to get a family photo album where he has a fight with Adam over showing Ellen the photos. Adam and Joanna verify that Palmer is Pete Cuny by checking some old letters. Adam is determined that no one find out that Palmer is Ross' father, as he believes Palmer would fight to the death for a male heir. Adam calls to talk to Ross, but Bonnie answers and mistakes his voice for Willy's. Bonnie tells Ellen that Willy is real and that she can open the magic door in Erica's bedroom. Ellen is alarmed, but after she puts Bonnie to bed, she and Ross prepare dinner. When they check on Bonnie, they discover her missing. Ellen follows her to the main house and is right behind her when Bonnie disappears into the secret passage. Ellen manages to open the secret passage by pressing the button on the fireplace. Bonnie finds Willy and asks him if he needed her help. He tells her that he didn't remember calling her. She tells him that she will probably be in trouble with her grandmother for running away. Then Willy hears Ellen. He tells Bonnie to go through the other door into the main house and then when Ellen enters the studio, he bashes her on the head with a vase. Then he grabs a putty knife to kill her for being mean to Bonnie, but at the last minute, the door opens and..................Adam tells him to stop! [The writers gave us a lot of misleading clues on this one. At first I was convinced that Adam had a twin and then later I was equally convinced that Adam was schizophrenic.] --> Allen <-- ihnp4!ihuxb!alle
