Anna and Edgar also try to keep their affair secret as he stays the night but Mona is more open, telling Mouse that she and Dorothea were once lovers. Dorothea returns to San Francisco and Mona moves in with her, Anna being unusually upset about her leaving. Mary Ann gets closer to Brian, who consoles her after she found her boss at the Crisis Cedntre had hanged himself. However she starts dating Norman, who sometimes brings a precocious little girl Lexi and asks Mary Ann lots of questions about their fellow tenants. DeDe learns that she is pregnant and, as news of the putative father spreads, she is sexually blackmailed by odious Carson Callas to not tell Beauchamp. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
