Overview

After learning that the clinic may lose funding, Kelly asks Brandon to write a story to generate publicity. They try to collaborate on the article, but find that working together is too painful. Kelly organizes an auction to raise money for the clinic. She models her wedding gown in the fashion show portion of the event, and Brandon outbids everyone for a date with her. Brandon and Kelly take a walk on the beach and decide that they are through. The clinic must still cut back its staff (even after the fundraiser), so Kelly resigns. Although David believes that Valerie killed her father in self-defense and should move on, she insists on bringing her mother to town to discuss the situation. When Val tries to confess, she learns that Abby knew of the abuse prior to her husband's death. She did not take any action because she believed that Victor would seek help. Valerie finds a connection with Abby's fiancé, an ex-policeman.

00:01:27 And I threatened that a lot near the end,
00:04:39 You barely slept last night.
00:05:58 what time you through here?
00:07:27 Can't you do it alone?
00:08:43 We're, um, we're okay, right?
00:10:18 That's too bad.

00:19:37 You know, it's such a high profile item.
00:21:30 Janet, when a girl says she wants to be just friends...
00:23:11 Yeah, varsity in high school.
00:25:31 I didn't do anything!
00:27:24 Oh, great. Thanks.
00:28:52 DAVID: An original designer in a designer original.
00:30:42 Robert Mendoza.
00:32:41 Not for the dress.
00:34:21 Oh, and that was the one thing I had left to look forward to.
00:36:30 Go ahead and smile; you won.
00:38:37 I had read some of your notes in the draft that you did.
00:40:52 I felt powerless.
00:43:36 Too late now.
