"Will Michelle and Danny Make Love?" -- 2/23/99


The marriage of Michelle and Danny comes off with nary a hitch this week. But their wedding night is a completely different story.

The InDepth Preview: With the big day having arrived at last, the Bauer and Santos families gather at the Santos home for Michelle and Danny's wedding. Michelle makes a beautiful bride, but that isn't much of a comfort to family and friends who still are perplexed by her sudden decision to marry Danny instead of her boyfriend, Jesse.

Michelle takes Danny as her husband this week ...

During the ceremony, Drew, Michelle's maid of honor, panics when she spots Jesse. But rather than interrupt the proceedings, Jesse sees something genuine in Michelle and Danny's interaction -- especially in their kiss. Finally, harsh reality sets in, and Jesse realized that the woman of his dreams has just married another man.

Rick, Abby and Meta feel like the odd people out later at the reception, but they put on a happy face out of love and support for Michelle. After witnessing a tender moment between the bride and groom, Rick realizes that Michelle and Danny really are starting to connect.

Meanwhile, Michelle grows increasingly nervous after learning that Carmen has arranged a special wedding night for the new couple. If she can't go through with the wedding night and make love to her husband, then Danny will know that she has been faking everything, and her life will be in danger. Picking up on Michelle's anxiety, Drew contacts the F.B.I. and insists that they protect Michelle.

Back in the honeymoon suite, Michelle tenses up as Danny begins to kiss her. Feeling rejected, he storms out. At that point, Michelle calls Drew and learns that she talked to the F.B.I. In a panic, Michelle realizes that she has to get Danny to leave. But before she can, the Feds burst in. Will the newlyweds' first night together be their last?


... but will she take him to her bed?
