RICHARD'S MANSION
Gregory says he is thrilled to learn that Olivia is pregnant...sort of. It's all part of Gregory's plan to keep Cole and Caitlin apart. Olivia is to announce that she is pregnant, forcing Caitlin to keep mum about her own pregnancy. Olivia is then to say she's experiencing a difficult pregnancy and went off to a special hospital in San Francisco. Caitlin will then follow...Olivia then says she miscarries and hopefully convinces Caitlin to give her baby up to her mom and dad to spare them the pain of going through another miscarriage. Olivia asks Gregory how he can really expect her to go through all of that considering they never really talked about their "real" miscarriage. Gregory replies she should do it for Caitlin's sake. Olivia says that she does indeed want to help Caitlin. They then kiss passionately.

Caitlin talks to Spike and wonders if she can trust Cole with a secret, if she can tell him Olivia is pregnant. Cole then enters saying what secret does she want to tell him. She says nothing and he responds if she can trust Spike, then she can trust him. She says she can't tell him because it isn't her secret. Cole says he wants to tell Elaine about the pregnancy, but decide against it since it is still early in the pregnancy, there may still be a chance something went wrong with the baby and they do not want to give Elaine false hope.
