# 2671 (6/25/75):
New Day. Morning. Mike awakens in Linda's living room, having spent the night on the sofa. Linda comes out in a robe, to say breakfast is ready. The doorbell rings, it's Don with some legal papers for Linda. Mike is embarrassed but Linda accepts the situation calmly. Mike is ready to leave to look for an apartment. He hopes he hasn't fouled up things with her boss. Linda doesn't worry about her reputation which is bad anyway, and Mike shouldn't concern himself either. He says he wouldn't have made it without her last night. She tells him she'll always be here for him whenever he needs her. When Linda comes to work, Don asks her if she doesn't think Mike's a little young for her. Linda flares at him. It was an innocent evening but she doesn't care whether he believes it or not. Marlena Evans comes in, in the middle of their quarrel. Don goes into his office after lashing out at Marlena. Linda tells Marlena that she's been in love with Mickey for years and even tried to make him believe her daughter was his. When Marlena questions, Linda says this office couldn't stay open if it weren't for Don.
Jeri brings a very reluctant James Stanhope to see Trish. He admits he could be Trish's father but he doesn't care. His wife and daughter, Ginny, know the truth and now his life is ruined. Trish turns on Jeri for having gone to Mrs. Stanhope even though it was Stanhope himself who inadvertently blurted out the truth. Broken-hearted at the way things have turned out, Trish slams into the bathroom. Jeri tells Stanhope she's sorry she destroyed his world, but he destroyed hers years ago. Stanhope has gone when Trish comes out of the bathroom, ready to go to rehearsal. She and Jeri quarrel bitterly over the Stanhope situation. In the midst of it, Mike arrives, wanting to talk to Trish. She says she's fresh out of words and leaves. Jeri tells Mike what has happened and he says poor Trish has had it from all of them. At Doug's Place, Trish is looking over some music when Stanhope appears to tell her at least she knows now he could be her father, so her mother is not a liar. But he can't do any more for her. He leaves and Trish rehearses, singing a song that touches her own life, tears her to pieces. Jeri enters while Trish is singing, her heart breaking for her daughter. After the song, Trish goes to her mother, apologizes for turning on her. There is an emotional scene as they go into each other's arms.
Alice comes to the hospital to see Amanda. She talks about religious faith and the help found in the belief in God. Marlena goes to see Maggie at the Horton home to talk about Mickey. Maggie reacts to Marlena's youth and beauty. Marlena assures her she knows her job. Mike appears. Maggie leaves them alone. At first, Mike is antagonistic to Marlena because she is a woman psychiatrist, but Marlena wins his confidence when she says she wants to make Mickey ready for outpatient therapy as soon as possible. Mike says he'll get an apartment today so his Dad can spend time with him, and he'll get a job to pay for the apartment. Alice comes home. Mike leaves. Marlena and Alice talk about Mickey's condition and Mike's need for his father. Don goes to the hospital to introduce himself to Amanda, and to bring her a candy clown which makes her smile. Later, in Don's office, Marlena comes to apologize for being suspicious of him. They end up with Don asking her to have lunch with him, and Marlena accepts.
