"The Jane Mutiny"

OK, this episode opens with Peter visiting Kimberly with a "birthday" present of a new dress and a motion-sensor-bracelet as celebration of her release. Stipulations of the release are that she lives and works for Peter, must wear bracelet at all times, does outpatient treatment daily, and can go nowhere except those 3 places. Bracelet is big and black and looks like something out of a Honeycomb cereal box.

Amanda is surprised to discover the contractors are quitting their work before restoration of the apt. complex is complete due to lack of payment. Sydney overhears the conversation and tells Peter.

Allison receives flowers from Hayley (Brooke's father) with half the complex residents as witnesses to this sick display of affection (Brooke included).

Matt is countersued by Dr. Hobbs for defamation of character and storms into Tom's (Gay/Lesbian Alliance lawyer) office. They decide to go for a settlement.

At a D & D meeting, Billy and Allison show that being in the ad business for 2 seasons has paid off as they dazzle Amanda with all their accomplishments from the past week. Brooke, feeling threatened, makes up some bullshit about landing her father's account, Armstrong Ltd.

OHMYGOD! Jo discovers that Jane and Richard's engagement party to celebrate their upcoming marriage is based on a lie - duh. Jane confesses to Jo that she doesn't love Richard, but that they will both "profit" from said marriage.

Amanda, husband Jack, and their lawyers meet to discuss a divorce. Jack counters by saying her faked death is "fraud". Jack agrees to divorce, but later tells his lawyer it's the last thing he wants. Jack decides to stay in California.

At deposition, Dr. Bigot Hobbs starts ranting about "faggots" and, therefore, loses both his job and his case. Matt is awarded his choice of either obtaining his old job or $50,000 dollars with no further mention of this case. Matt needs time to think about it.

Brooke admits to Allison that she jumped the gun at the meeting at that she needs Allison's help to obtain "daddy's" account. Since he and Allison appear to be so cozy, Brooke asks if she and Allison can "bury the hatchet" to which Allison replies "you'd have to take it out of my back, first" and turns Brooke down.

Peter offers Amanda a loan to pay off the apartment contractors. Amanda turns him down, but Jack overhears the conversation and settles the matter with an anonymous cashier's check to the contractors.

Shelley (Jess's ex-wife) antagonizes Jo at Shooters. Whoop-de-doo...

Kim is making dinner in Peter's kitchen, all decked out in her new dress and non-matching secret-decoder bracelet. She asks Peter when she can "repay" him for all he's done, and he turns her down. As Peter goes to take the quickest shower in prime-time history, Sydney appears and is shocked to see Kimberly. Syd hurls a few verbal insults and takes off. Kimberly, taken aback, tells Peter that she (Kim) really is a "freak" and seeks solace on his 30-second-showered shoulder.

Sydney tells Michael about Kimberly's release and living situation. Peter walks in, confirms it, and tells Syd to take care of Kimberly's file as he throws the phone-book-sized file in her direction. Naturally, Sydney files it under "bedtime reading" and reads it.

At yet another D & D meeting, Brooke admits that there is a delay in obtaining the Armstrong Ltd. account. Just as Billy starts to get ugly with her about it, Hayley shows up and asks Allison to be the rep who helps him, despite Brooke's protests of "daddy - wait!". Later, at Jane and Richard's engagement party, Amanda toasts both Allison and Brooke for obtaining the Armstrong account. Billy offers to help Allison, but she politely turns him down and leaves, saying she must start work on the account immediately. As Brooke pouts, both Amanda and Billy give her some much-needed verbal reprimanding.

Jo must overhear all this and feel the need to celebrate as the next shot is of her very-much drunk on champagne. Jo confronts Jane, to which Jane replies "I'm so afraid of turning out like you, Jo" as explanation of her non-loving union with Richard. Jo tells Richard that Jane doesn't love him, Richard confronts Jane (who is wearing one of the most hideous outfits in Aaron Spelling history - looks like something Claire from 90210 would wear) and tells her he "can't wait" when she fails to be able to look him in the eye and tell him she loves him.

Amanda takes Billy to bank to show him her safe deposit box, which contains polaroids of her after being beaten by Jack during their marriage. She gives Billy a key to the box and asks that, if "anything should happen to her", that he make sure the pictures get to the police.

Sydney and Michael collaborate once again and discover that the reason Kim was released was that "Henry" left her memory. Since the two of them have nothing better to do, they pull out the artist's rendering of Henry and decide to find a Hollywood actor-wannabe to portray Henry, thus returning him to Kimberly's memory.

Billy and Allison are working late when a call comes in that Hayley is waiting for Allison. Billy confronts her and accuses her of being part of some anti-Brooke conspiracy. She denies it, telling him that even if Billy wanted to join said conspiracy that there wouldn't be any room for him on the "grassy knoll" since Brooke has made so many enemies as of late. Hayley then shows up, gets Allison, snubs his daughter and leaves. As we get the honor of listening to Brooke whine for the millionth time this season, Billy grows a spine and tells Brooke to drop it. He tells her that he "got Allison out of his life" and now it was time for Brooke to get "Hayley out of hers". Brooke pouts as only Kristen Davis can do.

At Amanda's newly renovated apartment, Jack shows up and tells her the money he paid the contractors was his "divorce gift" to her. As he rounds the corner into her kitchen, thus trapping her in a corner, he tells her that he wants his "thank you". Amanda gropes around on the counter for a knife as she tells him to "get out". Jack sees the knife, takes it from her, only to return it to her as he tells her it's "not over" and leaves.

Next Week:

It's "about seduction" as Jake seduces Jo, Hayley seduces Allison (as perverse Brooke watches on) and Shelley seduces Jake. According to the announcer, one of these seductions works, and we have to wait until next week to find out which one.
