She threatens to expose Mary Ann for her part in Norman's disappearance but Mrs. Madrigal gets her to back off by countering that she will expose Betty for her sessions with Brian. Dede gives birth to her twins, cheered by D'Or's loyalty and love for her and soon after they head for Guyana and Jonestown. Mouse, almost fully recovered thanks to resident doctor Jon, works out from a magazine article that Burke's fear of roses is connected to Grace Cathedral and its rose window. Mary Ann and Burke investigate, discovering a severed foot and a sect of cannibals using the cathedral as their base. The story provides Burke with his scoop and he leaves for New York. Mary Ann declines his offer to accompany him. Soon she will also have a media career of her own, albeit in day time television, and although Brian is back with Mona, he will shortly become Mary Ann's partner. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
