Pilar is given more sleeping pills by her nurse/thug Diego has watching her. The man leaves and Mike sneaks in. He tells her to wake up because Lily needs them both to help her. He tells Pilar that the letter from Spain containing Diego's birth records got intercepted by Diego and they are running out of time. He says that she has to turn her brother into the police. Pilar says that the pills are making her unable to think clearly. Mike freaks, telling her that Diego is having her drugged and not to take anymore of those pills. Pilar fades off to sleep. Mike vows to get Diego. Later, Diego visits Pilar. He asks the nurse/thug how Pilar is doing. The man tells him that Pilar sleeps all the time and when she wakes up she's disoriented. Diego says that good and asks if he's left Pilar alone in the room. The man swears that he hasn't. Diego tells him that he better not because they don't need Mike Kasnoff coming in messing things up for them. Diego apologizes to a sleeping Pilar for having to do this to her. He tells her about the "lies" Emily has been spreading about him and his plans to complete the wedding with Lily so they can all leave. Diego leaves. Pilar opens her eyes. Later, the nurse/thug gives Pilar more sleeping pills. She takes them. When he steps out again, she spits them out.
Diego surprises Lily out at the Snyder farm. She tells him she still wants to wait until her mother returns before they get married. Diego tells her no and that it's Valentine's day or not ever. Lily tells Diego that marriage is built on compromise. He says that he will not compromise on this. He says that they'll marry by Valentine's day or not at all and leaves. Lily is feeling the pressure. Later, Mike stops by the farm to talk to Lily. He tells her that Diego is drugging Pilar to keep her quiet. Lily finally tells Mike what she's been doing. He holds her and tells her that she's brave, crazy, but brave. Lily tells him that she's scared but has to do it because time is running out. Lily tells Mike that she's been wearing a wire and that Margo is in on it. She'll get him to confess. Mike tells her to give it up and just let Pilar give him up. Lily tells him to tell that to Damian, the pilot, Emily... Mike wants to know what Emily has to do with it. Lily tells him that Diego raped Emily. Mike asks her how far she's willing to go for this because after she's Diego's wife, he'll expect her to act like a wife. She tells Mike she'll go as far as she has to. Lily tells Mike that since she came clean with him that he needs to tell her with Lucinda is now. Mike says he doesn't know. Lily calls Jane. Jane tells her that there hasn't been any cred card transactions in over 48 hours and no money has been withdrawn from her checking account in over a week. Lily and Mike come to the realization that Diego may have done something to Lucinda.
Lucinda and Holden argue over how to get out as they only have a day or so before the oxygen runs out. (Please!!). Holden starts bashing himself against the brick wall. Lucinda stops him and calms him down. Holden finds some weak and crumbling mortor that didn't set right. He takes off his belt buckle and starts scraping away at it. Lucinda takes off her "steel" high heel (LOL) and starts scraping too!!! Holden and Lucinda continue to work on the brick. Lucinda tells Holden she'll give him a lifetime supply of "Only the Best" caviar if he gets them out. They laugh. The mortor is beginning to crumble. Holden finally gets the brick out but gets upset again. The wall is double faced... meaning that there is another wall on the other side. Lucinda says there has got to be another way out.
Mark goes to the police station with the tape of Diego messing with Jones's car. He overhears Margo and Jessica talking about Diego raping Emily. Margo tells Jessica that Diego is virtually untouchable. Mark interrupts and asks if that's true. Margo asks how long he has been standing there and what he wants. Mark comments on the lack of progress on the case and says he doesn't need anything and leaves. Jessica wonders what's wrong with Mark? Margo comments something about him being a big man with a short fuse. Jessica doesn't think he's the only one with a short fuse. They talk about perspective and about getting Emily to press charges. Later, Margo and Jessica go to Emily's house and beat, ring and yell at the door until Emily finally answers it. They try to talk Emily into pressing charges on Diego. Emily says no. Margo and Jessica try to convince Emily that there is still enough evidence to hold Diego for a while.... the scratches on his face and the bruises on her body and doctor testimony about her mental state. Emily is scared to do it. Margo tells Emily that Diego could come and get her anyway. She tells Emily that she is punishing herself and not to do it anymore... punish Diego instead. They leave and Emily baracades the door.
Connor calls Emily's house. She leaves a message saying she is waiting in her office for her because they had a meeting and if she can't make it to give her a call. At home, Emily listens to Connor's message while cowering on the couch. Mark goes to Emily's office to talk to Connor. He tells her that Emily will not be coming into the office because she was raped. He tells Connor that Diego did it. She asks Mark if he saw the tape? Did it have anything on it? Mark says no... nothing he could use. Later, Diego bursts into Emily's offic yelling "I thought I told you to keep your mouth shut" and is certainly shocked when it's Connor that spins around to face him from the office chair. Connor grabs a letter opener off the desk and tells him to get out of the office. Diego tries to tell her that Emily is sick and manipulative but Connor rufuses to listen to anyting he has to say and tries to run past him to the door. Diego grabs her and tells her that she will listen to him. Connor tries to hold Diego off with the letter opener. Diego tries to reason with her. Connor goes for the phone as Mark bursts in. Mark tells Diego he knows what he's all about and that he doesn't have to play by the rules like the cops do. Mark informs Diego that he is watching him and has just become his worst nightmare. Diego says that he'll remember that and leaves. Mark makes sure that is ok. (Please note: There was a 10 minute interruption for an O.J. Simpson verdict announcement with plenty of speculation). Later, Mark meets a shady character in some back street alley. He buys a gun and some ammo. The guy tells him to "Be safe my man" and leaves. Mark comments to himself "It's not me you gotta worry about." (Hmmm........)
Margo looks at Lily's wedding invitation. Tom enters with plane tickets to Florida. She can't believe she forgot about the vacation they planned for last summer. She tells him that she can't go. He thinks she's kidding. Margo wants to be there for the wedding. Didn't tell Lily about rape charge? Emily has creditibility problem. Margo has to be there as friend. Tom wants to know if it's really about friendship, don't bring Diego into it. Tom suggests that she go talk Lily out of the wedding so they can go on vacation regardless if Margo is successful in getting Lily to call off the wedding. Margo says she still can't go... she's going to be matron of honor at the wedding. Tom is surprised, asks when this happened? At the engagement party. Tom reinforces going to Florida and just skipping the wedding. Tom feels that she will be giving Diego credibility by going and participating in the wedding. There is too much stress here... we need this vacation. She needs to be free and the only way to do that is to get him. Tom wants to know what it'll cost her. Later, they talk about what they will do on the trip. After all is said, Margo still thinks that she needs to be in Oakdale just a few days longer. Tom finally convinces her that she needs to put it behind her and go on vacation. Later, Tom comes downstairs with kid stuff. She thanks him for giving her the "prospectus". Tom returns upstairs to check on the kids. Margo picks up the plane tickets. An image of Deigo stands behind her. It says "Happy Landings". Margo drops the plane tickets and is visibly upset by the whole thing.
Lily knocks at Diego's apartment. There is no answer. She yells out that she has been thinking about what he said and that he's right. Mark is hiding in the shadows with the gun he bought drawn out. Diego finallly answers the door. He was in the shower. She agrees to get married with or without Lucinda. Lily is afraid of disappointing him on their wedding night. Is this about Emily, he wonders? No, Lily doesn't believe Emily. Lily is still worried about Lucinda. Diego is positive she will hear from her soon and thinks that Lucinda doesn't want her to worry. Lily is afraid that she's out there and could need help. Diego assures her that Lucinda is fine. They start to kiss but Lily stops, remembers that she left the dress at Lucinda's and has to go. Just one more night to go. Lily leaves. Mark is still hiding on the landing, gun in hand. After Lily leaves, he walks to the door and puts his hand on the knob as if to open it.
Emily steps outside to get the newspaper. While she's bent over, a hand touches her. She throws the paper down, screams and runs back inside while trying to shut the door, but the hand stops it from closing. She runs to the phone to call 911 but stops when she realizes it's Kirk. Emily smells that he's drunk. Kirk admits that he's been drinking a little. He wants to know why Diego is still a free man. Emily doesn't want to talk about it. He asks her if she's going to let Diego get away with everything? She flashes back to the night after Diego raped her. She pleads with him not to hurt her anymore. Diego tells her that that what happened at the office never happened and if she talks to anyone about what happened, Diego will return and kill her. She returns to the present when Kirk taps her on the shoulder. Emily wants to know what he wants. Kirk tells her that she has the ability to put Diego away, especially since it was Diego who cost Emily her job. Emily says that it wasn't Diego's fault, only her own doing. Kirk reminds her that Diego only throws people away like trash. Emily tells him to shut up. Kirk thinks that she is still just sleeping with Diego. All the innuendo he throws at Emily brings her to the brink of a breakdown. Emily screams for him to just go away. Kirk thinks that maybe Diego just dumped her. He wants to know what he gets out of this whole deal? Emily just sobs. Later, she turns it back around on him, telling him that if he hadn't started embezzling with Umberto, it would never had gotten as bad as it is now. Kirk tells her to shut up but she continues. She tells him that all he had to do was tell the truth. He had plenty of opportunities. If he had only told the truth, especially to Samantha, then everything would be fine. Kirk tells her to shut up again. Emily thinks it was a great con Diego put on. Emily tells him that somebody needs to have the guts to make Diego pay for what he's done. Kirk walks out. Emily stands there, happy to have won the battle.
Ryder is pulling parts out of his car and throwing them around, shouting "stupid, stupid." Nikki enters, asks him what's going on. He says the car/parts isn't what he wants anymore. She wants to know what's wrong. He doesn't think she'll understand. Nikki asks him to try, she might surprise him. Later, Nikki is examining the parts and doesn't see anything wrong with them. Ryder tells her to forget about the parts. He reminds her that tomorrow is Valentine's day and asks what she wants to do. It doesn't matter to her, as long as he doesn't shut her out. She returns to the subject of the car. Ryder admits the parts aren't what he thought they would be and doesn't want her to get involved. Nikki thinks it all comes back to Diego and that perhaps the parts are stolen. Nikki suggests that she ask Hal about what to do but Ryder doesn't want her to. He knows he has made some incredibly stupid mistakes but will handle it himself. Nikki leaves. Ryder gets upset.
Kim sleeps in her hospital room. John enters, asks how she's feeling. She's a little tired but John says it's normal after a operation. Kim can't believe that she's supposed to be up and around already, thinks it's too soon. John says that everything is fine. Kim doesn't undestand why she still feels so scared, begins to cry. She's afraid if she does anything too sudden the value will stop. John assures her that everything is just fine and that's why she's still in the hospital... to monitor for irregular heartbeat or clotting. She admits the noise the value makes is driving her nuts. John tells her that she'll get used to the clicking noise it makes. It's when it doesn't click anymore that she should be worried. That seems to cheer her up. John thinks she'll beat those post-op blues yet! John asks if she wants to hear what's going on lately. John tells her that Lily is getting married again... to Diego. Kim is surprised. John can't wait to hear Lucinda's opinion of it. John promises to give her all the details. Kim admits that she feels better now that she's talked to him. She didn't feel like she could talk to anyone, even Bob, about it. Lisa and Barbara enter, bearing gifts. Kim is happy to see them. Later, Barbara and Lisa dote over Kim with makeup and a new robe trying to make her feel at home. They ask if they can do anything else for her. Kim doesn't think so. Lisa reaches over to give Kim a hug but Kim acts like she is in pain. Lisa apologizes and asks if she hurt her in anyway. Kim says she is fine, begins to cry and asks if they can hear the valve clicking? Lisa and Barbara say that they cannot hear it. Kim is afraid that everyone can hear it. Lisa and Barbara leave. Once outside, they ask each other if they heard anything. They each reply no, but Barbara doesn't think that Kim believed them. Barbara hates to see Kim so self-conscious about it. Lisa replies that it's nice to hear your own heart beat... it reaffirms that you only have so long to life and should make the most of it. Back inside the room, Kim puts on a little lipstick but stops. She begins to cry again. (At this point, you can hear the valve clicking so you can have an idea of what she is supposedly hearing).
Diego goes to Cal's. He hears something nearby and calls out. (He's certainly paranoid). He rings the bell and Cal answers. Cal is glad to see him. Cal wanted to throw him a bachelor party but being in Texas so long on business, he didn't get a chance to do so. Diego says that it's ok. Diego asks Cal if he would be his best man. Cal looks in the other direction and Susan enters. Diego looks uneasy. Cal asks if anything is wrong. Susan says she has been trying to get a hold of Emily but can't. She knows something is wrong but doesn't know what it is. Diego comments that Emily must certainly be over him by now. Susan says that Emily has and wishes him every happiness. Diego invites her and Emily to the wedding. Susan offers her congratulations and thinks he has fine taste in picking best men. Cal says that he hasn't decided yet because he promised Lily he'd walk her down the isle. Diego realizes that he forgot to tell Cal that Lily said it didn't matter what he did, as long as he was part of the wedding. With that, Cal agrees to be his best man. Susan doesn't look happy about it. Cal offers him a drink but Diego has to go. After he's gone, Cal comments that he's sorry Emily didn't cash in on Diego but thinks Lily got herself a fine young man. Susan doesn't think that's what's bothering Emily. Cal thinks that Emily will tell Susan what's bothering her when she's ready. Outside, Diego notices Mark in the shadows. Mark has the gun out and ready behind him. They stare at each other a moment as Cal comes back out the door to stop Diego. Cal gives him a present, adding that Cal bought them when he drilled his first oil rig. Diego opens the box up to reveal cuff links. Cal adds that they made him a whole lot happier. Diego looks over to where Mark had been standing. Cal notices that Diego looks nervous and looks as if he's seen a ghost. Diego just chalks it up to wedding jitters.
At the farm, there is a knock at the door. Lily answers it only to be greeted by a delivery man. She signs for the package and gives him a tip. She opens the box to find a silver tea set. The note reads:
Susan came home to a shaken Emily. Emily grew even more frightful when Susan told her that Diego asked Cal to be his best man. Emily started crying and told her mother that she was finished with relationships and sex. When Susan tried to reach out to Emily, Emily freaked and admitted that she was raped a couple of days ago by Diego. Susan became irate when she found out that he had been released from custody. As much as Susan tried to pressure Emily into geting the police, lawyers, and doctors involved more in her situation, Emily refused. She said no one would believe her. After much convincing, Emily agreed to accompany Susan to the hospital to see Dr. Samuels. When they were at the hospital and Susan left her alone in the examining room, Diego confronted her. He started to taunt her, but Emily stayed strong and told him that she was going to the police after she left the hospital. She told him that he would be spending his wedding night in jail. This made Diego angry and he told her that no one would believe her if the case ever went to trial. He said her reputation as the town slut would ruin her case against him. After ridiculing Emily and telling her that Lily was a real lady, he told her that he would find other methods of getting even with her. After he left, Emily fled also, leaving Susan wondering where her daughter was when she returned to the room.
When Pilar tried to get out of bed to gather her things and make a run for it, Diego came in and caught her. He showed her the dress he had bought her for their trip to the island, but told her she would not be coming to the wedding. Pilar grilled him about his plans for Lily and Luke and Diego grew angry at her doubts. She also yelled at him for all he had done to the people of Oakdale, especially Damian. She told him that Lily would hate him once she found out that he killed her husband. She called him a murderer and asked if he would kill again. Diego told her no, but explained to her that no one would stop him from marrying Lily because he had outsmarted all of them so far. When Diego left her room, he went to the nurse and told him to give Pilar stronger medication because she was too alert. After the coast was clear, Mike showed up begging Pilar to stop the wedding and turn her brother in to the police. In the middle of a heated argument about Diego, Mike blurted out that Diego had raped Emily and possibly kidnapped Lucinda. Mike pressured Pilar to confess all she knows to the cops, and after she realized the true extent of what Diego had done, she decided she would tell the police that he was Umberto. She agreed to do so only if Mike helped her so he said he would call Hal and bring him into her room for a statement. Later, the nurse came back to Pilar's room to give her the stronger medication, but this time in a hypodermic needle.
Holden and Lucinda awoke in the wine cellar and realized that this was the day of the wedding. This upset Lucinda greatly and while Holden was trying to think of a way out of the cellar, Lucinda took up all the oxygen by worrying about Lily. She was not convinced that Lily could stop Diego, considering that the FBI and everyone else had failed. While the two of them were talking, Lucinda noticed a rat. After the two dozed off, Lucinda noticed that the rat had disappeared. Her and Holden began to look for where it went and Holden thought that they might be able to get out where the rat did.
Emma confronted Lily about her wedding and whether she loved Diego and really wanted to marry him. Lily tried to convince her to not go to the church because of the bad storm approaching. Emma didn't buy Lily's act and told her that she had seen her when she was truly in love, when she was with Holden. Lily told her that there was no way that she could feel that way again. Emma demanded to know why Lily was still going to marry Diego if she didn't love him, but Lily avoided her questions. Mike stopped by and Lily showed him the mysterious wedding gift from her mother. Later she got a phone call from Alderman's saying that the tea service gift was purchased by a man with cash. This confirmed her suspicions that Diego had kidnapped Lucinda or worse. Mike tried to tell Lily to forget her plan and go to the police, but she said she wouldn't go until she had proof. She told Mike that she would stay with her original plan of getting him to confess at the wedding. Lily had a talk with Luke and told him that she would be stopping the man that killed his daddy. While Emma took Lily's wedding dress to the church, Lily got into a gun cabinet and took out a revolver.
Margo goes out to talk to Lily about not being her Matron of Honor and try to call off the wedding with Diego. Tom thinks she's doing the right thing. Margo says that she'll be back before their flight. Tom tells her to be careful as it's raining outside. Later, Tom looks out the window, waiting for Margo to return. Casey comes downstairs asking when are they going to leave? He told all his friends that he was going to get a tan. Tom tells him they are just waiting for Margo to return but will call and find out what's keeping her. He calls Margo, but she can't talk. She tells him that she'll meet them at the airport.
Emma doesn't think it's right that Lily is not smiling on her wedding day. Lily asks Emma to find Margo so she can talk to her. Emma reluctantly does so. After she's gone, Lily takes out the gun she took from the cabinet and loads it with bullets. Emma returns unable to find Margo. Lily hopes that Margo will arrive in time. Emma asks what's she's doing? Lily comments that she's getting married but doesn't understand why Emma is asking. Emma thinks that the wedding is making her unhappy. Emma asks why Luke or Mike isn't here if this is such a big day for her. Lily says that Mike will be here. Emma wants her to tell her what's wrong. Lily says that everything is fine. Margo knocks at door. Lily asks to talk to Margo alone. Emma leaves. Margo says that she can't be Lily's Matron of Honor. Lily doesn't understand but tells Margo about Lucinda disappearance and the gift that was paid for by a man. They both wonder what have they have started? Lily is afraid that Lucinda's disappearance is all her fault. Margo wants her to call off the wedding and stop taking him on and will find a charge that will stick. Lily wants him to pay for Damian's death. Lily wants to know what to do when Luke starts asking about his father. What do I tell him? After a brief hesitation, Margo tells her to do it now... get the truth because Margo isn't participating in the wedding. Lily puts down her bag that contains the gun. As Lily walks out, Margo asks what Lily will do if he doesn't confess? Lily looks at her purse and says that she'll make him talk, she swears. Margo wants to know how? Lily plans on using everything she's got: her love for him that makes her sick. Margo points out that Diego knows what to do to get what he wants. Lily asks Margo what she want her to do? Margo wants Lily to promise her that she can walk out of that room at any time and not to say or do anything stupid. Margo says that she will be there to back her up and charge him with whatever they got if Lily can't get him to confess. Margo adds she has too much on her conscious. Lily says that she will play things Margo's way. Margo says she will come in if Lily can't exit. Lily comments that Diego has tortured her, Emily and who knows what he did with my mother... he's got to pay.
Cal asks Diego if he is nervous? Diego says that he's ok. Cal comments about Susan not being there and why Lucinda isn't there either. Diego thinks Lucinda is just making a statement. Cal asks if his will be moving into Lily's new house? Diego says they haven't made a decision yet but will do whatever Lily wants to make her happy. Cal is happy he came into her life because he was worried about her after Damian. Diego says that he will take care of her. As cal goes to check on things, Diego thanks him for his vote of confidence. Diego checks himself out in mirror. Mike enters. Diego doesn't want any trouble. Mike says the game is over and knows that he's Umberto Malzone. Diego says he doesn't know what he's talking about. Diego sucker punches Mike out cold with a smug look on his face. Diego locks the door and drags Mike behind a screen in the room. There's a knock at the door. It's Lily. Diego says that it's bad luck to see each other. Lily comments that they'll make their own luck and just needs to see him before the wedding. Diego finishes cleaning up and then opens the door. He can't believe how beautiful she looks and thinks he's so lucky. Lily says that she's the lucky one. She tells him she can't wait for tonight and starts to passionately kiss him. (Ewwww!) They say to each other how their lives have changed since they met. Diego wants to start the ceremony right away but Lily wants something from him before he leaves... she wants him to make good on his promise. Diego says that it isn't important right now. Lily points out that she opened up to him and wonders why he won't open up to her? She wants him to do it now but Diego keeps stalling. She doesn't want any secrets between them. She asks if he is lying to her again? She comments that maybe he never meant to keep the promise and that he doesn't love her. Diego claims that he does. Lily wonders why he doesn't you trust her? "If you love me just give me the one thing that I want." Diego turns to look at Mike on the floor. Outside the room, Margo paces in the hallway, hand on her gun. Diego is torn on what to do. As Margo paces, Mark comes up behind, scaring her. He wants to see Diego but Margo stops him. Connor shows up and takes him back to the church. Back inside, Lily only wants Diego to keep his promise. Diego swears that he will tell her truth. Margo starts having a PTS episode but Cal comes up and asks if she has seen Susan. Margo says that she has not. Cal asks why she is standing out here and shouldn't she be with Lily? Margo informs him that Lily is in with Diego. Cal wonders if they know they are breaking tradition. Margo comments that they certainly don't play by the "conventional" rules. Cal thinks they make a great couple. Margo agrees. As Cal goes back inside the church, he asks that if she sees Susan, move her his way. Margo agrees. After he leaves, Margo bangs on the door. Lily tells her to leave them alone. Lily wants to love him but Diego must make everything right first. He swears he will but after they take their vows. She tells him he must do it now.
Holden found out where the rat went through and shows Lucinda. It's a small shaft that leads outside. He thinks he can open it up so they can get out. Lucinda asks if it is big enough to get through? Holden thinks so. He calls out for help but Lucinda comments that everyone is probably at the wedding. Holden works diligently on opening the shaft so they can get out. Once he has done it, he comes back for Lucinda. He thinks it'll be tight squeeze and they climb out.
Mark finishes getting ready for the wedding at home. He takes out the gun he purchased on the street and puts it in his cumberbun. Connor enters and asks what's up? Mark says he's going to Lily's wedding. Connor asks why he's going to do that. Mark says he is going to protect Lily. Connor says that he isn't thinking clearly. She wants an explanation. Mark says that she doesn't have to worry about him. Connor is still scared and will go with him. Mark doesn't thinks it's a good idea. Connor wants to know why not? Mark points out that she isn't dressed for it. Connor admits that it's true, but she want to be with him. "If you don't want me there, just say so." Mark pulls her close and they kiss, passionately. (Wow! It was wet, too!!)
Bob checks on Kim. He catches her doing a little paperwork and has a fit. Bob takes away her work commenting that she doesn't need the stress right now. Kim wants to know what she is supposed to do now? "Wait for my friends to visit me to tell me how great I look?" Bob wants her to concentrate on getting better. She tells him that been doing everything she's been told. She tells him she needs something to forget about the clicking. Bob apologizes, but only wants her to get better faster. He tells her he needs her because she an intricial part of his life. She is what gives it meaning. Kim thinks that it's Bob that needs the care and points out about what he had for dinner last night and that he's not getting the rest he should. He claims he can't sleep without her. Bob thinks that Kim has a long road ahead and asks about the clicking sound? She'll get through it and knows that nothing is wrong with her now. Bob says he forgot why he originally came in for... but then hands her a box. It's to remind her how much he loves her. She opens it... and reveals a pin. It comes with a condition. She has to live another 50 years. "Only 50?" she quips? They joke about who's going to outlive who. He has missed her so much while she's been gone. They realize how fast time moves. He wants her to promise one more thing? What, she asks? Don't ever leave me... Kim tells him "Not a chance." They kiss and hug each other.
Hal goes to see Pilar. The nurse/thug is there. Hal asks why is she sedated? The nurse/thug didn't know about this. Hal asks what her doctor's name is. The man tells him. Hal steps out into the hallway and asks a nurse walking by to get her doctor there right away. The doctor checks her out and confirms that she's been sedated. The doctor asks the nurse/thug about it. The guy says he doesn't know. He took a break about an hour ago and perhaps someone came in and gave her something. The doctor says she didn't need any kind of medication. He checks her chart and reports that everything is normal. The doctor leaves to investigate. Hal asks Pilar about why she wanted to talk to him. All Pilar can mumble is "Umberto" and nothing else. The nurse/thug comments that he probably won't get her to say anything else.

Hal also tells the man that if anyone comes in to give her anything, even an aspirin, Hal will hold him responsible. Hal leaves. Pilar mumbles "Umberto" again.
Friday, February 14, 1997 -- Valentine's Day
By Nicolas Stroman
Susan frantically called around trying to find Emily, whom she hadn't heard from since she disappeared from the hospital. She was shocked to see her come through the front door, soaking wet from the storm. Emily explained that she had walked home in the rain because it felt clean. When Susan tried to tell her to quit covering up her feelings about the rape and just press charges against Diego, Emily insisted that it was over. She didn't want to deal with it and wouldn't let Susan try to take care of her. Suddenly Susan (not the TV show) remembered that she was supposed to be at the wedding. She wanted to get there to tell Cal about what Diego had done to Emily and to try to stop him from being the best man. When she left the room, Emily had a nasty flashback about the rape. With murder in her eyes, Emily said to herself: "It isn't over. It won't be over as long as Diego is alive." (hmmmm....foreshadowing maybe?) When Susan came back downstairs after trying to unsuccessfully call the church, Emily was nowhere to be found. Susan called out her name, but turned around and the front door was wide open.
Lucinda and Holden continued their struggle to exit the wine cellar. But Lucinda started to get cold feet because of the small space that they had to go through. Lucinda demanded that Holden go ahead because she would just slow him down. She became more jittery as she thought about how tight and small the escape route was. Holden told her that he wouldn't go without her and that all she needed to do was think of Lily and how much she needed them. Plus Holden didn't want her to miss him killing Diego with his bare hands. Lucinda's response: "You'll have to wait in a long line." Lucinda took his hand and they made their way through. Holden could tell that they were near the end when he saw the mud coming in. He asked her where the church and how far. He reminded her of his plan to strangle Diego, but Lucy told him that there was no need for that : there was a gun in her library! (and the number of people packin' pistols goes up). Holden and Lucy finally saw the light of day as they looked through the vent at the end of the tunnel and let the rain fall on them.
(Hold on, it's a wild ride from here on out)...At the church, Diego told Lily that he would confess his whole life to her, but not until after the wedding. Lily accused him of making false promises and wondered if their marriage was going to be like that. Diego tried to convince her that anything could wait considering they had their whole lives together. Not satisfied by his answer, Lily screamed "Where's my mother?!" when he tried to walk out of the room. When Diego asked her why she would ask him such a thing, she covered herself by saying that she just wanted Lucinda at the wedding to see how happy they were together and to apologize to them for how she had treated their relationship. When Diego started moving around alot and avoiding questions, Lily asked him if he had talked to Lucinda and if he had a plan. He responded by telling Lily she would just have to wait because he had a surprise for her. He promised Lily that she would see her mother after the wedding. Margo and Cal were worried about the couple (for different reasons, of course) and knocked on the door to see if they were alright. Cal (acting totally clueless, hello?) took Diego out to the chapel while Margo and Lily talked about what Lily was going to do.
Lily told Margo that while Diego did not confess to anything, she knew she was close. Lily refused Margo's requests to arrest him then, saying that she wanted to go through with the ceremony. Lily was convinced at this point that Diego had done something with Lucinda, but Margo wondered if Lucy was even alive. Lily dismissed this theory, knowing how strong her mother was. Lily started to walk out and Margo told Lily that, no matter what, it would have to end tonight. With murder in her eyes (another one!), Lily assured Margo that it would all end that night. When Lily left, Margo had another frightening PTS episode about Diego. She awoke to Tom calling the church wondering what she was doing. He was at the airport and him and the kids were waiting on her. Margo told him that she was on her way. Later, Tom found pictures of the plane crash in ther suitcase.
The guests of the "wedding from hell" were just about as nervous as the bride. Jessica arrived with Ben and told him that she was scared to death for Lily and hoped she would call it off. Ben didn't understand how Diego could leave his sister alone in the hospital, but Jess assured him that was the least of his crimes. Emma told Cal that she hoped Lily would call it off as she didn't see why the wedding was taking place. Cal was still dumbfounded (dumb being the key word!). He was worried that Susan had not shown up yet. Mark tried to convince a fearful Connor that he was okay. He told her he wouldn't miss the wedding for the world. Kirk showed up drunk and uninvited. Connor tried to calm Kirk down and prevent him from making a fool of himself, but to no avail. Mark itched at his gun while Connor and Kirk talked about Diego. Pilar's nurse/bodyguard/limosuine driver pulled up outside the church. Pilar was laying in the backseat in a semi-conscious state. The nurse pulled out a hypodermic needle and told Pilar it was time for her medicine again. Pilar's eyes widened when she saw the needle. Mike started to wake up from the collision that he had with the candlestick, but he was too weak and fell down beside the door.
(Organ music...) Lily started to walk down the aisle, but Margo stopped her. She told her that, as her matron of honor, she would go first. Margo proceeded to walk down in her vest and blue jeans.(LOL) Lily arrived at the front with Diego. We see (and I don't know how anyone else didn't) that Lily has a gun under her bouquet. (LOL, also that Diego had no one sitting on his side of the church). The wedding proceeds with the usual niceties, but then they get to an important one. "If anyone see just cause why this couple should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace" Thunder claps, and Emily enters, soaking wet and walks down the aisle. Without taking her glance off Diego for one instant, she gets right in his face. She does and says nothing, but rather just takes a seat and watches the show. Diego orders the minister to make it quick. They exchange rings and rush through the vows. Susan shows up in the middle of it and Cal goes to her. He assures her that Emily is fine, but Susan tells him otherwise. She tells him about what Diego did to Emily. Lily and Diego are pronounced husband and wife. They kiss and embrace. When they do, Diego discovers the listening device that Lily is wearing.
(Last 10 minutes...) The limousine is shown outside the church with the needle in the nurse's shouler and the back door open. Pilar's escaped! Connor looks for Mark when the ceremony concludes, he's gone! Margo pulls her gun as she walks behind the newlyweds. When Lily and Diego go out of the church, Lily announces to him that they have fooled everyone. Diego reluctantly agrees, his eyes brimming with anger and betrayal. Lily then wants to know if Lucinda was in the car outside. Diego answers this by asking her if she really loves him because she never says the words. Lily nervously tells him that she does. When they kiss, Diego grabs her and asks her how far she was willing to go, such as pretending to make love to him, willing to go away with him, etc. "How far would you take the lies, Lily?" Diego rips the wire from her dress and accuses her of lying in front of God and him. Lily denies this and tries to tell him that the police put her up to it. He tells her that what she did was more evil than anything he did. He starts to go, but Lily won't let him. She demands that he tell her where her mother is. Diego announces to her that Lucinda is with Damian. "She's dead, I killed her." Lily starts to cry hysterically. "She's at rest, Lily. Something you will never be again." By this time, all the guests have started to gather outside (with some mysteriously missing, I assume). Lily lets out a blood-curdling scream. Diego turns around. Lily throws her bouquet and pulls her gun. The outside lights mysteriously go out one-by-one. Lily fires the gun and the guests scream out.

Sex workers leave Twitter, flock to Switter over new US law
Washington, June 30 (IANS) Sex workers have almost completely vanished from Twitter, and instead have flocked to the Austria-based Switter.at after passing of a controversial US law that is aimed at curbing underage sex trafficking, the media reported.
The sex workers have been all over social networks for more than a decade now with Twitter in particular, providing them with a flurry of useful tools to screen potential clients, find customers without the help of a pimp and stay anonymous.
The new law, known as FOSTA/SESTA (Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act/Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act), passed in April by the US Congress with bipartisan support, purports to combat online sex trafficking by holding internet service providers criminally liable for what users might create on their platforms, the USA Today reported late on Friday.
According to the law, online content that promotes or facilitates prostitution is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
"This bill means any site sex workers use, even in their personal life, can be held liable. This will only force many more workers into the hands of exploitation and street work there is a much higher chance of ending up in a potentially life threatening situation," a spokesperson for Assembly Four, the Melbourne, Australia-based firm that runs Switter and its associated site, Tryst, through an Austrian domain, was quoted as saying.
As a result, sites such as Reddit, Craigslist, Skype — vital to sex workers in the US — has already responded to the new law by silencing or banning sex workers from their platforms, the spokesperson, who asked to remain anonymous, said.
Moreover, this law also has far-reaching consequences even for those who have nothing to do with sex work, as it paves the way "for a potentially fully censored and manipulated internet in the future," he warned.
The sex workers chose Switter.at, because prostitution is legal in Austria, and they can ply their trade without breaking any laws, the report said.
The homepage of Switter looks a lot like Twitter's TweetDeck, and allows members to search for clients or escorts based on location, as well as providing a means of communication for the sex work industry, enabling life-saving conversations like sharing client lists.
"Switter is run by sex workers and technologists who have sex workers at the front of their mind when developing new features. Shadow banning sex workers on Twitter has been around long before FOSTA/SESTA. Since the introduction of the law it's only become worse," the spokesperson said.
The site is much safer than Twitter for the sex workers, because it requests "very minimal information from our users, we actively remove any known pimps, cases of human trafficking or anyone seen as harassing workers".
The company currently has around 100,000 escorts and allies on its site, and continues to grow every month.

Netflix's Top 100 list is, let's face it, largely static. Crash has been #1 for months on end. Also, Netflix does not provide any way to sort this list other than the default ranking. We thought it might be useful for people to see this Top 100 List sorted by Genre or Average Rating or Release Year or – even Streaming Availability. To do this on FeedFlix.com, just go to http://feedflix.com/netflix-top-100 and you'll be able to sort by several options. Here's a screenshot of what the Top 100 list looks like when sorted by IW availability: 7 of the Top 100 are available to watch right now! Not bad.
These sorting options are also available on the Netflix New Releases (which is updated every week by Netflix) page at http://feedflix.com/netflix-new-releases

Zynga and Atari team up to combine a superhero rabbit with a new take on the classic Breakout formula
Before we had the likes of Angry Birds, we looked to Atari for our physics games. Breakout, which was released in 1976 for the arcades, taught games the joy of tearing down digital environments years before the Birds were even a gleam in their furious daddies' eyes. It looks like Atari still has a thing or two to teach us about ripping stuff up, so the company has teamed up with Zynga to produce Super Bunny Breakout, an iOS and Android re-imagining of its classic game.
Described in a press release as "the next evolution of Atari's classic Breakout property," Super Bunny Breakout is actually a puzzle/physics game hybrid that has something the original game didn't: a protagonist that's more than a straight line at the bottom of a screen. Super Bunny Breakout stars Rodney, a super-hero bunny on a mission to break his fellow detainees out of an evil testing lab.
You can launch Rodney from a lab platform and let him bounce around to destroy lab structures—especially the cages that confine his furry friends. The platform can be moved horizontally and vertically, and when it's stationary it catches Rodney. This gives you another chance to flick him from any angle you want.
Besides Rodney, there are five fuzzy heroes to choose from. Each hero brings his or her own power to the rescue mission, including the ability to warp time or mess around with gravity. There are over 40 stages to bust through, which should give you ample room to play with all your new friends.
Super Bunny Breakout is coming to iOS and Android soon. Make sure there aren't any rabbits in the room before you watch superhero movies. There's nothing as dangerous as a rabbit with aspirations.

My Meal!
What do you think? It just looked like a mouth full of lettuce to me... and the beef patty was dry and there was no need to wrap the burger in the special paper holder because there was ZERO juiciness to this Super Sucky burger. I was soooo disappointed like many others on my favorite Foodie Site.
If you want volume over quality then this IS the place for you. The salad bar was a great touch. But if you want a solid oh my god reaction Burger you will never find it here... give The Great Burger in Harajuku a try or Hungry Heaven in Meguro, these 2 spots are awesome.

Norman Powell Being Ridiculous
New Bracket Projection There are three changes to the makeup of the Field of 68 this week. NC State, LSU and UC-Davis move in, while Tulsa, Florida and UC-Irvine drop out. For all the details, as well as some thoughts about nearing the end of the regular season, click the link.
Darrun Hilliard Leads Villanova To Big East Control Villanova knew that a win at Hinkle Fieldhouse would basically lock up the Big East regular season title. And this was a really fun game that was tight the entire way. Alex Barlow had maybe the best game of his career, hitting 4-for-7 behind the arc and scoring 19 points, but he committed a silly foul behind the three-point line that allowed Darrun Hilliard to knock in three free throws to put Villanova back up by two. After Roosevelt Jones tied up the game, Butler had a defensive breakdown that left open the only guy they couldn't leave open, and Darrun Hilliard hit the three-pointer for the win. With just 1.8 seconds left, Butler actually set up a great play that got an open three for Kelan Martin, but he missed. Hilliard finished the game a ridiculous 8-for-13 on three-pointers. Here is Hilliard's shot:
Butler has been playing really good basketball the last few weeks. There's no shame in a three point loss to Villanova, I don't think. They are still, in my opinion, a true dark horse Final Four contender with the right draw. Their peripherals set them up really well for a tourney run.
NC State Knocks Off Louisville Everything went wrong for Louisville here. Offensively, they couldn't get shots for their stars. Terry Rozier fouled out after only 24 minutes, while he and Montrezl Harrell combined for just 14 points on 4-for-16 shooting. They shot just 2-for-11 on layups, and hit just 29.5% of their two-pointers. In contrast, NC State was getting to the rim at will against a Louisville defense that was perhaps over-aggressive and over-pursuing. NC State had a 32-to-16 advantage in paint points. The 1.12 PPP that NC State scored were the most that any team had scored against Louisville this season.
After five losses in their last six games, NC State desperately needed something to work their way back onto the bubble. To earn an at-large bid, they're realistically going to have to get to at least 9-9 in ACC play plus at least one win in the ACC tournament. They're 6-7 with road games at North Carolina and Clemson still to come.
This loss probably ends whatever chances Louisville had for a share of the ACC regular season title. But they're still 15th in RPI and in the mix for something between a 3 and 5 seed on Selection Sunday. They do have some tricky road games remaining, including one at Syracuse on Wednesday.
Pittsburgh Routs North Carolina Despite all the talks about Pittsburgh's "blue collar defense", Pitt has always been a far better offensive than defensive team. They simply play a slow tempo. This is Jamie Dixon's 12th season at Pitt, and they have never once finished lower than 45th in Pomeroy's adjusted offensive efficiency. What holds them back is defense, as it has this year where they are arguably the worst defense in the ACC.
That said, while Pitt's offense is often good, this game was ridiculous. They hit 8-for-15 behind the arc and had a 71.9 eFG% with only 5 turnovers. I can look up efficiency stats back to the 1996-97 season (the last season Dean Smith coached), and in that time no team facing North Carolina scored as many as the 1.44 PPP that Pitt scored here. The previous best offensive performance against UNC since Smith reitred was 1.38 PPP by NC State on February 21st, 1998. Pretty amazing thing to come in the first game UNC had played since Smith's death.
North Carolina has lost three of four with a road game at Duke up next. But this has been a nasty stretch of schedule. This was a bad game, but there's no shame in a close loss to Virginia or on the road at Louisville. There's no reason to overreact to a single bad game.
With wins over North Carolina and Notre Dame and an RPI up to 52, Pitt is beginning to make an at-large case. That said, take those two games out and they're just 1-7 against the RPI Top 100, and their Sagarin ELO_SCORE is just 60th. If they can go 4-2 down the stretch to get to 10-8 in ACC play they'll be in decent shape. At 3-3, though, they'll have a bunch of work to do in the ACC tourney.
Johnathan Stark's Buzzer Beater Stuns Cincinnati Cincinnati's offense was awful in the first half here. They tallied just 0.45 PPP. Yet despite being unable to hit outside shots all game (0-for-11 behind the arc), they worked the ball inside and hit 76% of their two-pointers in the second half. And they seemed to have escaped after Gary Clark hit a shot to put Cincinnati up by 2 with 4.7 seconds to go. But without calling timeout Tulane rushed the ball down court and Johnathan Stark hit the buzzer beater for the win. Hilariously, the announcers crushed Cincinnati for "starting their offense too quickly", and that "there was no luck" in Tulane's win, as if you expect a 31% three-point shooter to nail a 30 foot contested off-balance shot at the buzzer. But in a one possession game, crazy stuff can happen. You can watch the shot here:
[/Lame Headline Title With A Terrible Valentine's Day Pun] What stood out to me on the final Michigan State possession which led to the Denzel Valentine three-pointer was why Tom Izzo chose not to call a timeout. We see so often in college basketball with so many timeouts that coaches feel compelled to call timeouts, even if often times their opponent gets more out of the timeout than they do. Late game possessions are just as likely to be ugly with a timeout as without one. But here, Michigan State got the ball back with just about the full 35 seconds to go. Izzo had his team dribble in place at midcourt while he shouted out the play to everybody and told everybody where to go. Thad Matta, on the other side of the court and far from the play, couldn't really hope to counter. The Spartans got a great look for Denzel Valentine and he hit it. Here's the shot:
Ohio State is now 8-5 in Big Ten play with a tricky road game at Michigan up next. But after that their finishing schedule is very manageable, including a great opportunity to build their resume on Senior Night against Wisconsin.
Kansas State Takes Down Oklahoma Oklahoma struggled to shoot the ball here, hitting just 3-for-17 behind the arc. Though this is the concern with Oklahoma, that as dominant as their defense is (and it is probably the best in the Big 12), their offense can go cold for long stretches, and that makes them vulnerable to an upset in the NCAA Tournament. Still, it wasn't just cold offense here. Sooners fans surely didn't enjoy the reffing, including quite a few dicey foul calls as well as a controversial three-pointer for Kansas State that clearly came after the shot clock went off.
In addition, the end of this game was a demonstration of what I often talk about: late game execution doesn't really correlate with late game winning percentages. Kansas State had the ball with 1:01 to go in a tie game, which meant that they should go for a quick 2-for-1. Instead they intentionally burned clock, ruining the 2-for-1, but got their own offensive rebound off the miss. And then when their next possession went nowhere, Marcus Foster was forced to launch a deep three-pointer... which he hit. That's how it goes sometimes. Here's the Foster shot, if you missed it:
TCU Upsets Oklahoma State This isn't as big of an upset as you think it is, particularly since the final score is very deceptive. This game was very tight the whole way, with the two teams trading small leads. TCU finished the game on a 14-2 run to give the appearance of a much more dominant victory. This was only a 2.5 point spread in Vegas, and Oklahoma State shot an ugly 3-for-16 behind the arc.
While TCU being ranked in the Top 25 for running through a bunch of cupcakes was a joke, and we all knew that they would slam face-first into the brick wall reality of the Big 12 conference, the reality is that this TCU team is better than their 1-10 Big 12 record would indicate. Four of those ten losses were by five points or fewer or in overtime. They were due to finally win one of these games.
Kansas Squeezes Baylor In The Second Half Baylor has been playing great basketball, and they looked really strong in the first half against Kansas here. But the Jayhawks turned up the defense in the second half, holding Baylor to just 5-for-16 shooting on two-pointers. The offensive star for Kansas was Kelly Oubre, who hit 4-for-6 behind the arc and tied for a game-high with 18 points scored.
As tough as every game is in the Big 12, Kansas hasn't quite wrapped up the Big 12 regular season title, but they're getting close. If any team steals it from the Jayhawks, Oklahoma seems most likely, though they'd have to beat Kansas head-to-head and also get a bunch of help. Baylor has lost two straight to drop to 6-6 in Big 12 play, but that's just a symptom of how nasty and deep the Big 12 is. They're still 16th in RPI and in contention for a 4 or 5 seed on Selection Sunday.
VCU Crushes George Washington The media was starting to panic a little bit about VCU. The Rams had lost two straight and three of four. But while Briante Weber is done for the season, their best player (Treveon Graham) did manage to come back for this one. He wasn't 100% healthy, and he only scored 10 points, but his mere presence opened up things for the offense. The 1.22 PPP that VCU scored here were actually their most in Atlantic Ten play this season.
It was a frustrating home loss and missed opportunity for a George Washington team on the bubble that really needed a quality win. They're now just 2-7 against the RPI Top 100 with an RPI that has slid from 49th to 78th in less than a week. They'd be in the NIT if the season ended now, and probably need to win at least five of their final six regular season games to get back into the Field of 68.
VCU is still in a four-way tie atop the Atlantic Ten, but they control their own destiny for the 1 seed in the Atlantic Ten tournament. They have key home games against two of the three teams they're tied with over the next two Saturdays: UMass on on February 21st and Dayton on February 28th.
Iowa State Pulls Away From West Virginia Iowa State's defense has struggled this season. They have the second worst defensive efficiency in Big 12 play, ahead of only Texas Tech. But West Virginia's offense is bad when they're not getting easy baskets off of turnovers or offensive rebounds. West Virginia has rebounded 39.8% of their misses this season, but only collected 25% of them here. And it was Iowa State that had the 23-to-8 advantage in fast break points. West Virginia finished with just 0.82 PPP,
Iowa State has a small chance for a share of the Big 12 title, but realistically are just playing for an NCAA Tournament seed likely to end up somewhere in the 3-5 range. West Virginia, on the other hand, is living up to its reputation of "the worst good team in America". They got off to a 6-2 start in Big 12 play where five of those wins came over Texas Tech, TCU or Kansas State. They still have only 1 win against the rest of the conference (more than a month ago, against Oklahoma). In the last two weeks they've gotten smoked by Oklahoma, Baylor and Iowa State. If they fall at home to Kansas on Monday, the risk of West Virginia falling to the bubble will become very real.
Arkansas Escapes Ole Miss Mississippi had a great opportunity at home here to collect a quality victory and to really firm up their place in the Field of 68, but they struggled badly offensively. Despite dominating the glass (a 48.8 OR%) they finished just 10-for-27 on layups, getting 7 of their shots blocked. And they hit just 5-for-20 behind the arc. They still had a chance on the final possession, but Manuale Watkins hit a shot for Arkansas and Jarvis Summers missed a pretty good look on the other end.
Mississippi's six game winning streak was snapped here. They're a strong 8-4 in SEC play and their RPI is still 38th, but they have no big scalps (either Arkansas or Cincinnati is their best win) and they have bad losses to Charleston Southern, Western Kentucky and TCU. If the season ended now they'd be right on the boundary between the NCAA Tournament and the NIT. If they can go 4-2 or better down the stretch to get to 12-6 in SEC play they'll be in pretty good shape on Selection Sunday.
Arkansas is now up into the Top 20 in RPI. They're at the point that it would take a pretty serious collapse down the stretch to miss the NCAA Tournament. Just a 3-3 finish down the stretch will lock them in for sure, and even a 2-4 finish should be enough.
Auburn Upsets Georgia Georgia looked like they had finally comfortably moved into the Field of 68 with the third strongest resume in the SEC, after Kentucky and Arkansas. They had won 7 of 9, with 1 of those 2 losses coming on the road at Kentucky. But Georgia suffered an ugly loss here. The Bulldogs couldn't hit a jump shot, hitting just 28.6% for the day, including 21% behind the arc.
Georgia is now just 7-5 in SEC play and 5-5 against the RPI Top 100 with three RPI 100+ losses. Their RPI is still 33rd, though their RPI is inflated by some smart scheduling. Their Sagarin ELO_SCORE is 37th. They'd still be in the Field of 68 if the season ended now, but they need to win 4 of their final 6 games to stay in there. If they end up 10-8 or worse in SEC play they'll be in trouble.
St. John's Holds Off Xavier This was actually a very fun game, even if it was overshadowed by other games on Saturday. Down the stretch it was Sir'Dominic Pointer who totally took over and made big plays on both ends of the court. He led all players with 24 points on 9-for-10 shooting, with 4 steals and 2 blocks as well. You can make a compelling case that Pointer deserves a spot on First Team All-Big East at the end of the season.
St. John's has won three straight games to get back to 6-6 in Big East play. They're 7-6 against the RPI Top 100 and their RPI is back up to 42nd. If they can go 3-3 in their final six games they'll be in pretty good shape on Selection Sunday. Xavier also will be in pretty good shape if they can get to 9-9, but that will require a 2-2 finish in their final four Big East games. They also have an interesting non-conference battle at Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Young self-identified masters and dominants often have to fight for their identities BDSM spaces. Olivia Davis looks at why that's wrong.
In some ways, BDSM is a subculture of title and tradition. The rigid backbone of many kink organizations is Leather—regimented, highly organized Leather. Dating back to WWII vets desperately seeking military structure in their day-to-day lives and to biker culture, Leather is the oldest form of a BDSM community in this country. Even today, Leather sects remain influential. Without Leather, BDSM communities would mostly be parties at peoples' houses, not massive conferences and pride weeks. It tends to have the best-organized and longest-established BDSM groups in a given community.
Leather folks are also big on education, which is fantastic. However, Leather also places a heavy emphasis on earning things—be they your leathers (literally, the items of leather you wear, boots, vests, etc) or your titles. The Old Guard style, which is rarer today, has a militaristic feel to it: every person starts out a s-type[1], a bottom, boy, boi, or girl.[2]. Old Guard s-types could, with time and training, graduate to the status of d-type, becoming a top, daddy, or master. Originally, there was not particularly room for people who wanted neither to be a d- or s-type consistently—switches. Much like bisexuals, switches were told to make up their minds.
Now, not everyone who practices kink as part of a community is Leather—not even remotely so. Many people don't even like Leather, finding its methods antiquated, its queerness unappealing, or its structure frustrating. I, myself, am not Leather, though sometimes the power of its history calls to me. There are, however, certain Leather ideas that permeate non-Leather BDSM. One of these is the emphasis on earning titles. Many folks hold the opinion that young people cannot rightfully claim, and therefore should not identify as, certain things. Interestingly, I see this exclusively with "master/mistress" and "dominant."[3]
And, frankly, I object. I object because I find the notion of earned dominance inherently weird, because I think the arguments in support of it lack substance, and because I think its existence points to some nasty trends that crop up in BDSM communities.
This Leather hangover ideology has a deep, ingrained problem: people have sexuality because they have it, not because they've earned it. A young lesbian gets to call herself a lesbian, even if she's never kissed another girl. Even if she's only kissed, or had sex, with boys. A trans* man gets to call himself a man, no matter how he looks, or what kind of surgery he does or doesn't have. And a master gets to call zirself a master—even if zie's never had a slave.
Even if we imagine a world in which there are easy-to-access, reputable people and places to earn the right to dominance from, the notion that dominance is to be earned remains absurd. For some people, dominance is less a role and more an orientation. Others find themselves in relationships where dominance is called for, where suddenly it is good and makes sense to be that way. And to deny these people a label merely because they lack age and experience—and often times both age and experience are called for by young dom detractors—strikes me as not merely absurd, but downright cruel. No one should have to earn their sexuality.
An astute reader may, at this point, bring up certain safety considerations: "But, Olivia, doesn't preventing inexperienced people from having certain labels increase safety? After all, an 18-year-old who is new to BDSM probably doesn't have very many skills and BDSM can be a pretty skill-intensive hobby/orientation/activity? Anyway, shouldn't the label 'master' mean you've mastered something?"
Let's look closely at the content of this argument. To my understanding, it's an expression of the worry that an inexperienced person will hurt someone. And that's a valid worry. There are just a bunch of ways in which this particular expression of a totally acceptable worry renders itself pretty unacceptable.
First of all, a difficulty I have with the folks who tend to complain about inexperienced masters and dominants is that, by "inexperienced" they almost always seem to mean "young." It doesn't seem to matter to them how long someone has been "in the lifestyle," it primarily matters how old they are. An eighteen-year-old could reasonably have been practicing BDSM and power dynamics for years before showing up in BDSM spaces—which are almost always 18+ while a 37-year-old may have had vanilla engagements for all of their life before finally arriving in the community. I'm not saying that the 37-year-old's general age and life experiences should be discounted, nor do I suggest that all newcomers to BDSM have their dominance questioned. What I am saying is that the prevailing opinion seems to be that young people, regardless of their level of experience, can't or shouldn't be dominant-identifying. And that's neither fair, nor does it make sense.
Second, no: imposing rules probably won't increase safety. Preventing people from taking labels, or mocking them for having done so before they have had a certain amount of training will only prevent untrained people from doing dangerous things if they want your sanction. If your imprimatur is important that they'd be willing to undergo training in order to call themselves something. Otherwise, these untrained people are going to just absorb the mockery and continue calling themselves masters or, leave the community, having found it to be an environment that doesn't respect them (and maybe continue to call themselves masters).
And again, even if someone does want the sanction they might get from you, it's still necessary for education programs to exist such that people could actually earn titles. Some places have great education opportunities for new kinksters. Many do not. And, regardless, in order for "earning dominance" to be an ingrained system unified standards for "mastery" or "dom-hood" would be required. Such standards do not exist. Even if they could be invented, they shouldn't be.
"Mastery" means a lot of things. It can mean that you've mastered skills, or a person. It can also mean that you like the way it feels to be called 'master,' or you like to call your partner 'slave,' or 'pet.' It can even mean that you're single, have never been in a power exchange relationship before, but are looking for someone to try it out with.
Maybe the objection remains that we need to police the use of the words "master" and "dominant" because, while mastery means different things to different people, it's still necessary to be concerned about inexperienced people doing skill-intensive, possibly even life-threatening things.
So, let's talk about BDSM skills. If you're a d-type, there are two kinds of skills you might need, depending on who you are and what you want to do. Simply put, these are physical and mental skills.
Most of the physical skills that a d-type needs have guides on the internet. You can learn and practice them at home. I think you can even self-teach some tricky things; rope suspension for example—provided you have a hard point in your ceiling and a very heavy bag. There's a lot of information in the world about how to do BDSM. Dedicated students can learn a lot all by themselves. So, you don't actually need a mentor, or the BDSM community to teach you much of what you need to know.
All this is assuming those are even skills you want to learn. Dominance does not necessarily include pain. Any kinkster will tell you that BDSM is a triune acronym, BD, DS, SM: bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. It's split into three like that for a reason: BD, DS, and SM can very much be separate things. Someone interested solely in dominance may not want or need to know anything about flogging or rope, or any other physical skill. They may just want to know the best way to get their partner to submit.
So, what about those mental skills? Can't the argument still be made that you shouldn't be able to call yourself a dominant until you've picked those skills up?
Well, no. And for a lot of reasons, actually. First, this presents a catch-22. You can really only learn to dominate someone if you've got someone to dominate—it has to be done from inside of a relationship. But, if you can't say "I'm a dominant," it seems like the only way you'll be able to find an s-type partner is to luck into one.
Another issue is that most folks will jump to tell you that each relationship and each power dynamic is different. Unless someone you know has been the dominant of your s-type partner, the chances that that person will be able to tell you what will make your relationship run better are slim to none. And even if you do have a mentor in that exact situation, your relationship with their ex may still be different enough that they can't help you with it. The only things a mentor can help you with within the context of your relationship actually end up being the same kind of basic stuff the internet is happy to teach you: talk to your partner, respect their limits, know about sub-drop, negotiate well, etc.
Admittedly, as you get older and as you're a d-type to more people, you'll probably learn how to be a better d-type. In the same way that, over the years, I've learned how to be a better girlfriend. However, even though I'm a better girlfriend now than I was to my first partner, you'd never say that I wasn't her girlfriend. And I'd never say you weren't a master to your first slave, no matter how old you were. You were never not what you were.
If you're reading this, you've probably heard of "isms." Sexism, racism, cissexism, ageism, the list goes on. In BDSM we an ism of our very own: "roleism." Roleism is any time you tell someone that they can't do something because of their role. "You're a dominant, so you can't teach this class on submission," etc. A lot of the time, it ends up negatively affecting s-types. More d-types teach classes than s-types, s-types are sometimes ordered around by d-types they don't have relationships with, submission and slavery are viewed as weak or repulsive, even by other people in the scene. This notion that an 18-year-old can't be a master or dominant is also roleist.
It suggests that submission is not something that requires skill. Dominance is an acquired trait that one has to work at, while submission appears natural and perhaps even easy. Dominance is a thing to be earned, submission is merely a thing that you have. Neither of those statements is true.
And behaving as though they were elides the challenges of submission and, even being an s-type generally. For one thing, being the recipient of bondage and pain can be frightening, and even traumatizing. But until you've done it, you can't know what to expect. BDSM communities ask dominants to be trained so that they don't hurt people, but they don't have any such requirements for s-types, who can only know how something affects them once it's already happened. D-types can learn how to throw a flogger at home. S-types have no such luxury, but concern about safety and training is still thrust upon new dominants, not their counterparts.
The fact that so many community members rush to strip young dominant-identified people of their chosen labels would be nothing more than an oddity if it hurt no one. However, that's just not true. It hurts the young, dominant-identified people it keeps out ot the scene, denying them the chance to be part of a community of like-minded people, and denying them the social, romantic, and play opportunities that the scene provides everyone else. It also prevents these young people from getting the training and experience that the community so badly wants them to have. It perpetuates roleist notions that devalue s-types and help enable their mistreatment. Frankly, it also makes BDSM communities look bad. It makes them seem self-obsessed, interested only in their own rules, and in the people already involved in them. It reflects badly on the BDSM community that it's willing to deride people for their chosen labels, especially because almost no kinkster in this country can be out without fear.
[1] "S-type" is a catchall term for roles like bottom, masochist, submissive, slave, boy/boi/girl, etc. The s-type is generally going to be the recipient of actions or will have less power in a power exchange. The opposite is a d-type.
[2] Nowadays, all genders and sexualities are theoretically welcome in Leather, though its historically very male and very gay roots remain important. Initially, Leather girls were uncommon. Lesbians later became important pillars of Leather and, even today, Leather remains predominantly queer. Trans* men, especially, still have to fight for their place in Leather.
[3] As distinct from "sadist" or "top." Sadists and tops generally perform painful actions, but do not always engage in power exchange, or any kind of dominance. Almost all sadism is topping, but tying someone up—usually a topping behavior—is not necessarily sadistic. Dominants and masters, by contrast engage in power exchange—though they may top and perform sadism, as well.

7 totally gorgeous yoga mats
by Jamie McKillop, May 18, 2014
And while that's obviously the most important thing, what about a yoga mat that's as easy on the eyes as it is on your hands and feet?
Lately, more and more companies are ditching solid colors and getting creative with mat design. Shall we say, patterned is the new purple? (FYI, Printing on mats can affect the mat quality in some cases.)
Here are seven patterned and graphic print yoga mats that will look super cute under your arm as you dart to and from the studio and that you'll love looking at in downward dog (I mean, while focusing on your navel!). —Jamie McKillop
(Photo: Magic Carpet Yoga)
Magic Carpet's yoga mats are hand painted and sustainably printed. Plus, they're all totally gorgeous, especially this one that borrow from a classic rug pattern and looks like it belongs in a coastal California arts-and-crafts home. (Not to mention Aladdin is so hot on Broadway right now.)

Gaiam's mats don't often compete with premium products from companies like Manduka and Jade, but this one blew us away in terms of grip, quality, and comfort. And the black and Chinoiserie-inspired pattern is sleek and subtle—perfect for a New Yorker.

Founded by two bohemian, fashion-loving, Southern California women, La Vie Boheme is the yoga mat world's version of Free People. This one was designed with a Native American/American Southwest aesthetic and has a Rumi quote etched across the top for mid-practice inspiration.

Affirmats offer up positive affirmations to inspire your practice at the top of your mat—such as "I am healthy, I am wealthy, I am love." The mantra-obsessed brand is also eco-friendly, so you can practice yogic principles when you purchase it, too.

Last year, yoga culture infiltrated the champagne-and-cigarette haze that is Art Basel with design group Grey Area's debut of seven eco-friendly yoga mats at the event, each created by a different hot contemporary artist. Unlike the cigarette cloud, the unique mats aren't out of fashion, like this one with a cat in cobra pose and another depicting sky and clouds.

Plank's The Pills tongue-in-cheek yoga mat shows a bottle of pills scattered across a bathroom floor, and the company says it's "for those who thank yoga for allowing them to toss their meds aside or for those who can't chuck their meds out just yet and yoga is a back-up plan." Either way, the mat is pretty clever and fun. No joke.

- Five By Five = five new listings by five o'clock
This Halloween edition of Five By Five gives you a sneak peak at some of the new products I'm making for the craft fairs I'll be selling at in November and December. You'll be seeing five more examples of these five types of products in my upcoming 50 New Products In 50 Days, as I mentioned in my last post about my creative commitments for November.
In an effort to reduce my massive button collection, I've created a ton of new items that will make great stocking stuffers and inexpensive gifts. All of today's new products feature buttons or flatbacks, and this is just the tip of the iceberg!
First up we have hair elastics, or pony tail holders. Look for more of these on November 1st! This pair features white skull and crossbones buttons on black elastic bands.
Next, I've created some fun post back earrings. Look for more of these on November 2nd! This pair features spooky ghosts and are chunky but lightweight.
And where do you find ghosts? In haunted houses, of course! Here's a Haunted House pin, and I'll have more pins for you on November 3rd.
That old house is probably crawling with spiders, but I bet they're not as cute as this spider ring! Look for more adorable rings on November 4th.
Other creatures you might find in an old boarded-up house like that is bats. Check out these adorable bat snap barrettes and look for more snap barrettes on November 5th!
And there we have it! A sneak peak at some new products, some adorable Halloween themed items, and a plan for posting more new items. Wow, look at me go!
And just because my life isn't complicated enough, I'm considering adding another IndieGoGo campaign to the mix, incorporating the 50 New Products In 50 Days and raising funds so I can continue to make more samples and expand my product lines even further. Which means I will discontinue my offers for $210 worth of Rewondered products for only $50 and the Half-Price $20 Rewondered Gift Certificate for only $10, so if you want those, better jump on them!
Speaking of jumping, I better hop to it and get back to MAKING ALL THE THINGS!!! 😀

- For other crypts, see crypt.
The Deadwind Pass Crypt lies behind the tower of Karazhan, in the cemetery at Morgan's Plot.
The purpose of the crypt is unknown - it may be a playground for developers, a testing site of sorts, an unfinished instance, or something else entirely. It is interesting to note that using WoW Map Viewer you can see that the crypt runs under Tranquil Gardens Cemetery in Duskwood. This might play a role sometime in the future, or could be a complete coincidence.
This area used to be accessed via dying close to the gate and running through it, but this was changed in Patch 2.0.[1]
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
Some people speculate that is a lower portion of Karazhan, as some lore indicated Karazhan has a lower half. But the architecture does not seem match with Karazhan in the slightest bit.
Inside the crypts, there's a persistent heartbeat. There are also many subzones such as Tome of the Unrepentant, The Upside-down Sinners, Well of the Forgotten and Pauper's Walk.

With a new year comes the chance for a new start, or a new approach -- especially when it comes to our golf game.
Now that 2012 is here, it's time to make some exciting changes... specifically, changes that will improve your golf game, or at the very least, make your golfing experience as enjoyable as it can possibly be.
We at PGA.com couldn't think of a better way to kick off the new year than by asking our Facebook friends to give us their 2012 golf resolutions. Below you will find the best answers we received.
Happy New Year, everyone! Here's to a great 2012!
9. To hit the ball longer. Anyone who tells you they wouldn't like to hit the ball a little further, especially off the tee, just isn't being honest.
Facebook fan quote:
"Hit my drives 20 yards or more longer!" -- Cris Henry
8. To spend more time in the fairway. Isn't the game so much easier when you're playing approach shots from the short stuff?
Facebook fan quote:
"Keep it in the short grass." -- Stephen Silva
7. To have more patience. What a great resolution. It's one that would serve all of us well and make the game a lot more enjoyable.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Slowdown and be patience with my shots!" -- Rob Highley
"To not break a club!" -- Tyler Keister
"To do a full round without throwing my clubs." -- Ady Ingleby
6. To win a tournament. Try as we might, not all of us have the ability to be good enough to even think of winning golf tournaments, but for those who do there's nothing wrong with being ambitious in the new year.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Win a state title." -- Brian Sullivan
"Varsity as a freshman, and have our team win state." -- Eric Lamm Make
"Win my club championship." -- Mick Mack
5. To have more time on the course with family and friends. For many of us, this is what playing golf is all about. Sure, shooting lower scores is nice, but it's that quiet time spent on the course with family and friends that make the game so much fun.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Play a round with my family." -- Kyle Simpson
"More golf with more people at more courses." -- Guy Golomb
"To golf more often with my sons in 2012." -- Kim Dunn
4. To play more golf. I was joking with a friend over the holiday season about this one. Have you ever spoken to someone who thinks they need to play less golf? It doesn't matter if a person plays once a month or four times a week -- no one plays enough golf... just ask them!
Facebook fan quotes:
"To play more golf this year. In the last few years, I've been in law school so I really didn't have the time to play because of the reading and studying that I did. I finished school, July 15th and played my first three rounds in August." -- Kevin L. Warmack
"Play more this year." -- Margie Mullin-Sawdey
"Play more!" -- Larry Huro
"Play more and play smart." -- Robin Patten
"Just to play more. If I play any less I'll qualify as a non-golfer!" -- Brian Wetzel
3. To lower your scores. Hey, it's what we all strive for no matter the ability. It's a fact -- golf is more fun when you're playing well.
Facebook fan quotes:
"To get back to a single-digit handicap again!" -- Daniel McKenzie
"To break my lowest 18-hole score of 72! And 9-hole score of 32!" -- Mike Sogard
"Be consistant and play to my handicap more often." -- Kevin Barford
"To play more with my children and to break 85." -- Scott Milner
"To break 80!" -- Curtis Ali Ba-Ski Addison
"To break 70 constantly on a championship course." -- Esmeralda AndMike G
"Become a single-digit handicapper." -- Joshua MrstealLorenzosgurl Davis
2. To make more time for practice. A great resolution. For those of you serious about improving in 2012: you may not have time to play a couple of rounds per week, but everyone has time to head to the range and grab a bucket of balls. Like any great PGA Professional will tell you, when you go to the range and get a bucket -- don't hit balls, hit shots.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Practice more than I play." -- Don McCracken
"To spend a great deal of time working on my game from 20-100 yards. It's my biggest gap right now." -- Kevin Armstrong
"Nine holes or a bucket of balls a week." -- Matthew Scott
"Make feel real by practicing drills, then go 'low' baby!" -- Terry Eklund
"Practice more!" -- Robert Kirk Provart
1. To put an emphasis on fitness to help your golf game. What a concept! Working toward a healthier body will do the same for your golf game.
Facebook fan quotes:
"To be in my best golf shape ever before going to Myrtle Beach in May. It's a trip I won in a putting contest last year." -- Jason Bouchard
"Walk and carry more, plus do everything i can to make more putts." -- Danny Madden
"Flexibility... strength... balance. I want to get better off the tee also. My drivers my weakest part of my game." -- Andrew Spina
"Get in golf shape this winter." -- Mike Tabert

…because I don't care. Wear white whenever you want! I love the white and navy combo-it's always been a favorite of mine to pair with white! I tend to not wear it too often, because I don't have the smoothest legs. That damn cellulite gets me every time! I have to be in the right frame of mind to wear white jeans because it doesn't hide much of anything!
This outfit was just an easy outfit for a Sunday-the perfect mix of church, errands, and relaxing! I'd love to pair these white jeans with a black top, or a panama hat once it gets a little warmer. If only the temps would increase though, right?!
(This isn't the best, picture, but I love the expression on my face…my girls were just plain making me smile!)
Outfit Details:
Jeans: Target /// Shoes: Old Navy (similar) /// Tee: Elizabeth & West /// Cardigan: Old Navy (similar) /// Bag: Target /// Scarf: Gap (super old, love this) /// Sunglasses: Old Navy (in store, similar)
