Carl & Michael handle the problem at school … “together”….

Christine confronts Tammy about Olivia’s reason reason for being in Manchester, but having not seen what Olivia has of their mother’s, Tammy has no answers for Christine. This infuriates Christine.
Michelle confronts Tammy about Matthew.
Julia talks to Jake about Laura’s disappearance….
NOTE: As you can maybe see from the storyline “development”, I sort of was losing interest, or rather, creativity, by this point, partly because I had sent Erika another letter with some ideas on how to continue the plots & waited for her response. The next time I wrote was 01/23/1998 (Friday, during lunch at work), & I wrote nearly non-stop in 1998. As you’ll see in the coming weeks, my creativity & plot-writing became more intense & focused…..
NEXT TIME:
Post-college storyline continues with the next part written, January 1998….
