# 2676 (7/2/76):
In the powder room at Doug's Place, Trish tells Julie how wonderful it feels, to sing for her father and mother, tells her about Stanhope going to Jack's apartment, getting her out of a bad situation. Jack arrives at the bar, sees Jeri and Stanhope discuss his coming to Salem, what he plans to do. Marlena has gone to check her answering service. Julie joins Don. He tells her there are vibes with Marlena, maybe he's finally off the hook with her. He also tells her she should grow up: go after Doug. Julie says she wants to, but is not sure she can convince Doug she'll try to be a mother to Hope. In the family room, Doug, Rebecca and Robert discuss their plans for living together when the wedding is over. When Rebecca asks about Julie, Doug will only say it's now up to her. Marlena returns, has a few words with Julie, who then leaves. Marlena questions Don about Julie. We wonder if Marlena is getting interested in Don.
Trish dedicates a song to her father, and Stanhope is touched. Jack is touched, too, but in the wrong kind of way. He stops Jeri on her way to the powder room, starts to give her a bad time, but Doug steps in, threatens to throw him out. Trish and Stanhope discuss what his coming to Salem has meant to her. Mike enters, has another battle with Brooke, which is partially overheard by Jack, who misreads everything, getting the wrong impression. When Brooke goes back to work, Jack and Mike tangle. Jack threatens to teach both Trish and Jeri a lesson. Trish comes to the bar, is surprised to see Jack there, but he is very nice, leaves, and Trish and Mike are by themselves. Mike is still uptight about many things, especially that Trish told Brooke of his failure to perform. She apologizes, saying she needed someone, but knows once again she's hurt Mike badly.
Julie comes out of Hope's bedroom, Rebecca lays it on the line, says she has to stop this nonsense if she doesn't want to lose Doug, she can be a mother to Hope, but she has to make more of an effort. Doug approaches Trish and Mike and she asks for the rest of the night off, she's on an emotional binge, needs to be alone. Doug questions Mike when Trish leaves. Mike snaps that he and Trish have split and walks out. Don tells Doug about Kim not inheriting an island, letting him know if she lied about this, she could be lying about a few other things. If Doug wants Julie, he had better do something about it. Doug answers, saying it's his business and he's not about to apologize for his past. Trish goes home, unaware Jack is hovering outside in the corridor. As she undresses, the doorknob turns and twists.
