"Is It Really Over?" -- 4/6/99

Oh, Men! This week, the two in Michelle's life set her head spinning. Though in love with Jesse, she is taken aback when Danny demands an annulment!

As the week begins, Ray attempts to talk Danny out of ending his marriage. But the unhappy hubby remains adamant, telling his cousin that there was never anything between him and Michelle anyway.

Together Again

Meanwhile, Michelle is Jesse's girl again, but she's increasingly unsure that that's what she wants to be. She tries to recapture her old life with her beau, and even explains what happened between her and Danny.

Unfortunately, Jesse misunderstands. Thinking she's been in a living hell, he takes her in his arms, totally missing the look in her eyes that reveals her true feelings for Danny. The embrace is interrupted by a phone call from Danny, who tells Michelle he needs to see her now � one last time. Upon hanging up, she leaves, telling Jesse that she must meet Aunt Meta.

The Moment of Truth

However, as Jesse waits for Michelle to return, Meta walks in. Stunned, Jesse figures that Michelle lied because of Danny, and rushes off to find them.

At Towers, Ray asks Michelle to swear that never had feelings for Danny. Sensing her reluctance to answer, Ray refuses to sanction the annulment. When Danny blasts his wife for dragging her feet, she is thrown and responds by saying that she'll sign the papers, but never will say that there was nothing between them.

Can Michelle Let Go?

Just then, Jesse arrives. Michelle calms him down by claiming that she didn't want to burden him with the news of an annulment, but he is relieved that the marriage soon will be over.

Later, leading Michelle out of Towers, Jesse says that now there's no reason she ever has to see Danny again. Before the door shuts behind her, she steals one last glance at Danny. Will she really be able to walk away.
