She avoids answering any more questions, insisting they talk in the morning. Maria, now a guest at the inn, overhears their conversation and wonders why Crystal won't answer Ricky's questions. In private, Crystal admits Ricky is her son. Maria can't understand how a mother could give up her child. Crystal says she shouldn't judge her and gives an impassioned speech about how she thought she was doing the right thing for her son because she couldn't take care of him alone at sixteen. Jerry questions Michael Walker, while Eileen secretly listens. Debbie catches Ricky stealing food from the kitchen and hits him over the head with a frying pan. Learning that he's the son of Crystal's old friend and has no where to stay, Joe offers to let him bunk with him and work around the inn for food and lodging. Back in prison, Holly explains to Randy the reason why Crystal was with Dr. Gardner at Cedar Lake and promises that Crystal didn't sleep with him. After Jerry leaves the Walker mansion, Eileen wants Michael to admit to her that he raped Holly, but he continues to deny they ever had sex. Jerry visits Holly in prison, where she's harassed by Fisher. She tells Jerry about Eileen Walker's pathological jealousy of her. He returns to the Walker house to speak with Eileen and gets into an argument with Michael. Eileen walks in on them. Believing that Michael has turned her in, she confesses to kidnapping Robbie, and reveals Michael's rape of Holly. Randy goes to Cedar Lake and reconciles with Crystal, but when he also meets Ricky, Crystal shuts down since she isn't prepared to be completely honest with either of the men in her life. Ricky gives Randy advice on how to handle women and demonstrates it with Debbie. He bets Randy that he can get Debbie before Randy bags Crystal again. While playfully testing a mattress for a complaining guest, Joe and Patricia end up in romantic situation that is interrupted by Rita. Rita bad mouths Patricia to Cissie, who gets Rita to admit that she's also interested in Joe. Rita laments that Joe's a nice man who treats her with her respect, and unfortunately, guys like him never want to give her a tumble. Tired of being constantly put off by Crystal, Ricky forces her to talk about his mother. He's angry about being dumped with a horrible person like Gloria to look after him. When Crystal tells him that his mother was torn to pieces when she had to give him up, he retorts that she was just a dumb slut who wasn't smart enough to use birth control. Crystal orders him to stop talking about her like that because she's his mother. Written by Mark Faulkner See less
