not threatening but, in fact, comforting sort of freaks Maria. She
later asks David to meet with her and she learns that he loved her but
they never consummated his feelings for her. He tries to convince her
he was a different man back then and pulls her in for a warm embrace,
which a furious Edmund witnesses. Brooke and Opal turn Tad's house
into a Halloween haunt, which doesn't sit well with Tad because it
reminds him of the way Dixie celebrated the holiday. His adverse
reaction drives a shocked J.R. and Jamie to flee. Brooke explains to
Tad that J.R. and Jamie need to keep Dixie's traditions alive. Adam
tries to talk Brooke into extending their one night fling, saying they
are meant to be together. Tad, too, makes it clear he wouldn't mind
restarting the fire he and Brooke once had, only for her to return
home that night to find Adam sprawled out in her bed. Meanwhile,
Anna's encounter with David prompts her to resign as Chief of Police.
10-31-2002 Under hypnosis, Maria gasps to realize that the man whose
arms were around her was David Hayward. Opal, Brooke,
Jamie and JR go all out to prepare a Halloween surprise
for Tad but their good intentions backfire when he blasts
them for making him miss Dixie even more. David gently
forces Anna to admit that she was bluffing about the lab
results from Quantico. After fleeing from the Martin
house in the wake of Tad's tirade, JR and Jamie
commiserate about their intertwined and dysfunctional
families. Swearing that he's a changed man, David begs
Anna to believe her love has truly transformed him. Zeke
advises an irritated Edmund to stop crowding "Maureen."

bench. Brooke returns home and finds Adam waiting for her
in her bed.

overdosed. At the boathouse Trey reaches out to

away from the ledge. Adam bumps into Brooke during happy
hour in the cocktail lounge. Trey's abrupt 180 in
attitude puzzles Kendall until he reminds her how the
diamonds are splattered with Leo's blood. Threatening to
jump if David comes any closer, Greenlee tearfully
informs her brother-in-law she wants to join Leo because
she can't live without him. Certain the diamonds are
cursed by Vanessa's evil legacy, Trey tells an appalled
Kendall he's going to turn the gems over to the police.
After downing too many drinks, Brooke begins to see her
ex-husband in a sympathetic new light. David appeals to

he and Kendall are once again going to be neighbors. Adam
prepares a romantic surprise for Liza, who eyes the
gesture with open hostility and suspicion. Bridget
explains to a skeptical David how she's "seen" Leo
struggling to get home. Meanwhile, Trey surreptitiously
lifts the woman's wallet and asks Anna to run a

aunt to slow down and start taking better care of her
unborn child and its mother. Maria's doctor cautions her
that trying to recover her memory through hypnosis could
wind up doing her more harm than good. Although startled
by the D.A.'s news, Kendall covers for Trey when Jackson

quickly, suggesting that he and Natalie can someday be

Jack
is left dumbfounded when he sees Tess and Livvie's
identical injuries. He calls Ian for advice, interrupting
Ian trying to define his feelings for her to Lucy. Joshua,
meanwhile, gives Stephen a container holding a liquid,
which Stephen promptly drinks. Although he is unaware that he came face-to-face with
Stephen, Rafe admits to Alison that he's feeling strangely
ill at ease. Livvie goes to the party hoping to find Rafe
but instead is pulled into a slow, sexy dance with a masked
Stephen. Rafe yanks off the mask covering the face of
Livvie's dance partner and is startled to see that it's now
Joshua! On their way to Jack's home, Ian and Lucy are stopped in
their tracks by a group of threatening hoodlums. As he
attempts to protect Lucy, Ian is stabbed in the chest. At
the same time, Livvie goes to the Port Charles grill for a
drink where Stephen seduces her into a kiss.

wearing her bathrobe. Alison coaxes Rafe to escort
her to the Halloween bash Stephen Clay is throwing
for the whole town. Livvie warns Jack that his sick
infatuation with Tess proves she's just a poor
substitute for the woman he really wants. Elizabeth
presents her bristling daughter with a written
contract outlining their agreement to turn Alison's
inheritance over in exchange for help locating her
sibling. After tossing Livvie out on her ear, Jack
comforts a trembling Tess. While Joshua circulates
among his guests, urging everyone to enjoy the full
sensual experience being offered to them, Stephen
also makes his presence known as a cold chill sends
eerie shivers through various residents of Port
Charles. Lucy and Ian admit to one another how
lonely they've been in recent weeks. As she makes
an early exit from the party, Marissa thanks
Stephen for holding up his end of their bargain
regarding Ricky's employment with the band. Livvie
again confronts Tess but is shocked when the
scratch she inflicts on her lookalike suddenly
shows up on her own arm as well.
10-30-2002
Rafe tries to assure Alison that there has got to be a
way to find her sibling without involving Elizabeth. Lucy
interrupts and warns Rafe that with Halloween
approaching, she has this impending feeling of doom
approaching Port Charles. She then stuns him with the
news about "two Livvies." Rafe sadly admits that his
powers are not working in spite of his claim that he had
recovered his magic. Marissa boasts to Alison that she's
been asked to write songs for Stephen Clay. She leaks
that she secretly arranged for Ricky to be hired as the
band's drummer. She also offers to help her find her
sibling. Chris has fun taunting Livvie about how quickly
Jack fell in love with her lookalike. After Jack
introduces Tess to the wonders of his TV set at his
place, Ian arrives and is startled to see how much Tess
looks like Livvie. Showing Jack his x-rays which show no
sign of a broken bone, Ian admits that if Tess is a
healer, he wants to study her. While Jack worries about
what that means, Tess gets cleaned up and pops back into
the living room, looking even more like Livvie. Arguing
with Joshua as they enter the building, a drunk Ricky
lays into Stephen Clay when he meets him, accusing him of
being afraid of his talent. To cool him off, Stephen
pours a water pitcher's contents on his head and then
admits that he left a message on Ricky's machine that he
has been hired as the band's new drummer. Stephen Clay
uses a glow-in-the-dark skeleton to invite everyone to
his Halloween bash at the warehouse by the docks.

amazes Ian. Stephen offers Tess a ride in his limo but
she hears Jack calling her name and turns away from the
musician's vehicle. Kate arrives for her daily visit with
her fianc? and is thrilled when a smiling Brennan speaks
to her for the first time in months. As Lucy escorts her
stepdaughter back to her room, Livvie bitterly speculates
that she's being persecuted by her enemies who have sent
an exact double to steal the man she loves. Ian admits to
Kate that he's never seen anything like Brennan's
astounding recovery. Weeping tears of joy, Kate thanks
her friend for everything and expresses a hope that he,
too, will soon find such happiness. Livvie angrily
rejects Lucy's suggestion that she and Tess could be twin
sisters. After contemplating Marissa's demand that Ricky
become the Experience's new drummer, Stephen informs a
frightened Mick his services will no longer be required.
Ian begins to wonder if Tess could truly possess the
power to heal the sick. Meanwhile, Jack coaxes Tess back
to his house for safekeeping.
10-28-2002 Following a baffling conversation with Lucy, Jack
realizes that Tess must also be somewhere within the
confines of General Hospital. Meanwhile, Livvie stares in
shock at the lookalike standing before her. As Elizabeth
reels to learn how Malcolm left her just one dollar in
his will, Alison is stunned to think she has a brother or
sister she never even knew existed. Assuring Marissa he
can easily prove his identity to her, Stephen pulls out
his guitar and plays a few licks. After Livvie's screams
frighten Tess away, Ian listens skeptically to his
patient's hysterical description of her encounter with
her "double." Amanda's attorney explains to Alison that
she cannot receive her inheritance until she locates her
sibling. Later, Elizabeth grouses to Rafe about being
shut out after overlooking her late husband's affairs in
order to cash in. Jack fills Lucy, Ian and Livvie in on
how his new friend resembles a former flame. Down the
hall, Tess again works her magic on an ailing Brennan.

Stephen Clay, Marissa agrees to collaborate with the
musician. After dropping Marissa off, Stephen comes
across Tess wandering through the woods.

on Malcolm's money. Livvie tells a sympathetic Jack about
the cold, clammy feeling she's been experiencing lately.
When Livvie begins chattering on happily about getting
married, however, Jack hastily advises her not to plan
any part of her future around him. Marissa accuses Joshua
of stealing her lyrics, then confronts him with her
suspicions about his true identity. Assuring the girl
she'll meet the real Stephen in due time, Joshua urges
Marissa to stay with the band and fulfill her incredible
potential. Elizabeth admits to an enraged Alison that she
did come to town under false pretenses because she felt
she deserved every penny of Malcolm's fortune. Claiming
she's had a change of heart since getting to know her
daughter, Elizabeth promises to drop her lawsuit and stop
contesting the will. Tess and an astonished Livvie
finally come face to face. Stephen Clay introduces
himself to Marissa. The reading of Malcolm's will
provides shocks for both Alison and Elizabeth.
10-24-2002 A wary Rafe does more digging into his future
mother-in-law's past. Meanwhile, Alison forges a truce
with Elizabeth and asks her to stay for dinner. Jack has
trouble convincing Jamal that his story about the cave
girl is true, especially after Chris reports that the
X-ray of his brother's leg revealed no broken bones at
all. Stroking Brennan's face, Tess croons the word
"better" to the comatose man. As he drowns his sorrows at
the Recovery Room, Ricky bitterly informs a startled
Marissa that the Stephen Clay Experience doesn't want him
in the band. Livvie goes in search of Jack, while Chris
finds Tess wandering the halls and returns the "patient"
to her room. Alison receives another nasty shock,
courtesy of Elizabeth's greed. Though Marissa decides to
turn down Joshua's offer if her songwriting partner isn't
part of the package, Ricky insists that she cannot pass
up the opportunity of a lifetime. Livvie feels a familiar
chill as Tess spots her double near the nurses' station.
Alison angrily accuses Elizabeth of plotting to steal her
inheritance. Marissa confronts Joshua, then is stunned to
realize that he has already obtained the lyrics she just
completed.
10-23-2002 Alison asks her mother why she was never wanted. Lucy
describes for Ian how different "Livvie" seemed when she
found her wandering along the edge of the road. Jack
confides to an incredulous Jamal how he discovered a girl
who lives in a cave and is the spitting image of Livvie.
Meanwhile, Tess creeps through the halls of the hospital,
searching for a familiar face. Kate overhears Lucy and Ian
discussing the allegations made by Kevin's doctor. Later,
Kate suggests to an irked Ian that he pull back a bit from
his friendship with another man's wife. As Tess passes by
her closed door, Livvie suddenly shivers to feel a cold
chill upon her skin. Elizabeth reveals to Alison that she
married Malcolm because she had become pregnant. Pressed by
her tearful daughter to explain why she rejected motherhood
in the end, Elizabeth admits that she abandoned her child
in a vain attempt to keep her husband interested. Jack
brings Jamal to the cave but finds no sign of Tess. Keeping
her real agenda to herself, Elizabeth asks Alison for
another chance to prove her love. Lucy is puzzled when Ian
starts making excuses to avoid her company. Tess reaches
out to a comatose Br
10-22-2002 Ricky returns to the studio for a chat with Joshua, who
informs his surprised guest that his services will no
longer be required. Alison apologizes to Rafe for
shutting him out ever since her disruptive mother hit
town. Later, Lucy drops by to give her cousin the news
about Livvie's miscarriage. Marissa proudly shows Jamal
the lyrics she just wrote for Stephen's latest tune. Lucy
and Rafe share the same strong reaction when the new hit
from the Stephen Clay Experience comes on the radio.
Afterwards, an agitated Rafe confides how he seems to be
regaining some of his angelic powers. Joshua makes it
clear to a fuming Ricky that Marissa is the only one the
band wants to work with from now on. Lucy urges Alison to
try and get some closure with her mother before the
opportunity is gone forever. Marissa and Jamal make love,
unaware that Joshua is watching them through a hidden
closed-circuit camera.
10-21-2002 Ricky
and Jamal barge into a session of the Stephen Clay
Experience and demand that Joshua tell them what's happened
to their missing friend. Meanwhile, Marissa finds herself
being entertained in style by the still invisible Stephen.
Clinging to Jack, Livvie tearfully declares her love and
begs him to take care of "their" baby. A short distance
away, Lucy tries to coax "Livvie" into her car but a
frightened Tess digs in her heels. After finally making
Livvie understand that the baby truly is gone, Jack
consoles his former flame as she blames herself for her
child's death. Reunited at last, an excited Marissa
explains to Jamal and Ricky how she's been writing lyrics
for Stephen's new tracks. Jack rushes Livvie to General
Hospital just as Lucy arrives with Tess in tow. Marissa
tells her skeptical friends she believes Joshua is the real
Stephen Clay. As Livvie goes under the knife, Tess vanishes
from the waiting room.
10-18-2002 Jamal asks Kate to check over the artists' contract from
the Stephen Clay Experience. Rafe wishes he could make
all of his fiancée's dreams come true. Lucy entreats Jack
for help locating Livvie before the unviable fetus within
her causes her own death. Meanwhile, in the cave, Tess
writhes on the ground in pain as Livvie goes through the
same agony just a short distance away. Alison dreams
about being a child again and celebrating her birthday
with a loving father by her side. Lucy angrily blasts
Jack when he refuses to lift a finger to help his
deceitful former flame. In her sweet dream, Alison's
father assures her he'll always be there for his little
princess. Marissa continues to tail Joshua, who leads his
unwitting pursuer straight into a trap. Though Kate gives
Ricky the green light with the contract, Jamal is unable
to shake his queasy feeling about Joshua's business
proposition. Alison awakens and describes for Rafe how
wonderful it was to feel her dad's spirit so close to
her. Jack finds Livvie crying in the woods and urges her
to let him take her back to the hospital. Tess goes in
search of her new friend but runs into Lucy instead.
10-17-2002 A debonair Joshua Temple arrives at the Recovery Room and
introduces himself as the manager of the Stephen Clay
Experience. Wandering through the park, a tearful Livvie
tries to convince herself that her baby is still alive
and well inside her. Joshua explains to Marissa, Ricky
and Jamal why no one gets to go face to face with Stephen
Clay himself. Jack assures a fretful Tess he'll return to
the cave as soon as he's picked up some necessary
provisions in town. As Rafe tells an outraged Alison how
her father died four months ago, Elizabeth insists she
was cleared of any charges following Malcolm's accident.
After ordering her mother to leave, Alison sadly confides
to Rafe how odd it feels to lose a father who was no
better than a total stranger. Tess and Jack exchange a
tender kiss as he prepares to leave. Though Ricky is
dazzled by Joshua's generous offer, Jamal cautions his
brother to be wary of anyone flashing that much cash up
front. Doubling over in pain, Livvie screams out Jack's
name. Marissa secretly trails Joshua in hopes of catching
a glimpse of the reclusive Mr. Clay.
10-16-2002 Jamal continues to muse over how Stephen Clay managed to
get a hold of Marissa's unlisted cell phone number.

photographed. Frank tells Ian how Livvie lost the baby
but refuses to believe that her child is gone. Rafe pays
a call on Lucy, who's thrilled to see her "late" cousin
back in the flesh. Alison fumes when Elizabeth blurts out
some tragic news to a stunned Amanda. Rafe tells Lucy why
he's certain his future mother-in-law is bound to be
nothing but trouble. Three eccentric-looking characters
appear at the Recovery Room and inform Marissa they're
with the band. Frank and Ian compare notes on why dark
forces seem to descend upon Port Charles on such a
regular basis. Alison becomes suspicious when Elizabeth
explains to Amanda how Malcolm was on his way home to
mend fences with his estranged mother. A bristling Jamal
takes exception to the creepy musicians' insensitive
remarks directed at Marissa. Across town, Lucy's skin
crawls when she finds Serena listening to the latest
release from the Stephen Clay Experience. Rafe confronts
Elizabeth after learning that she was the prime suspect
in Malcolm's death--which actually occurred months ago.
