   In a previous posting, I suggested Catharine is holding Josie
prisoner.  This doesn't seem to have gotten much agreement, so let
me try to make a case:

(1) You've almost been killed inside a burning building.  You get
out and go somewhere.  You have a gun.  You have reason to suspect
one of your housemates of trying to kill you.  What would any
soap opera character do?

(2) I thought the note Pete read to Harry sounded like something
written at gunpoint, but maybe I'm prejudiced.

(3) If we assumed the man who called while Harry was with Pete is
an associate of Josie's, then she was planning to talk to him, not
be out of town.

   The main objection I can see is what Hank said to Ben and Jerry.
Josie may have said something of this kind to Hank, truthfully or
not, under duress or not.  Remember, Josie is either planning to
double-cross Ben, or is afraid they will double-cross her.

   Also, this is not completely inconsistent with Josie as the person
who shot Cooper.
