Plot Overview

Dr. Kevin Reed and Dr. Stephen Warner argued about Cookie's case. Reed stated that Cookie is psychotic and sees Mike and Nancy as her parental figures. Warner countered that Cookie appears rational and ready to be placed under minimum supervision. Dr. Reed told Ron that a tape recorder was activated the day they discussed Ron's affair with Tiffany Whitney. Reed confessed that Cookie accidentally heard the tape and now hates Ron. Reed commented that Cookie's hatred is good because it forces her to face reality. Colin was elated that an anti-poverty bill he sponsored passed the Senate, but things turned grim with talk of what Keith might have accomplished had he lived. Geraldine became furious when Colin and Gordon discussed Keith sadistic nature. Colin told the family a story about Keith locking him in the tower room at the family's summer home. Colin said that Keith wanted him to die so that Keith would be the next in line for a political career. At Greenhaven Sanitarium, Ron confronted Cookie who told him that they'd never be together again. Cookie insisted that Mike and Nancy are her parents now and that they'd take care of her. Ron informed Cookie that she can't stay with the Karr's since Laurie has moved back home. Dr. Warner received a letter from Geraldine, urging him to call her. On the phone, Geraldine hinted to Warner that her very generous donation to the clinic might be revoked unless Cookie is discharged from the hospital. Later, Warner told Cookie that she could go home.
