Ever since I heard Krista Tesreau was returning to GUIDING LIGHT for the 25th high school reunion of The Four Musketeers I've been anxiously awaiting this day. I'll be liveblogging today's episode as Mindy arrives in Springfield. Minday wrote on her Twitter page an hour ago: "'You Are Now Entering Springfield!' It's funny, everything looks familiar, but also different. I didn't think I'd been away THAT long."
Check back at 10am ET for the liveblog.
10:00 The show opens with Lizzie and Grady. Lizzie is the Mindy of her generation.
10:01 Grady tells Lizzie that Doris is offering him the chance to save the town from Alan if he testifies against him. Lizzie tells him Alan will hire someone like him to come after him if he does.
10:02 Phillip is going through some old photos and smiling. How can he make Lizzie trust him again?
10:03 Mindy is here! And with Beth. She wants to look up Dave Carter in their old yearbook. Who? He apparently wrote the same thing in each of their yearbooks. I really remember Mindy not going to their high school. Did she? They're wondering if Phillip will be at the reunion.
10:04 Buzz is ticked that Alan is about to get out on bail. Frank is trying to calm him down. In walks Alan and Buzz immediately threatens him. Alan tells him he'd better not start a war with him because he can't win.

10:06 Grady isn't phased by Lizzie's threats. Lizzie is now talking to Grady about her kidnapper. Grady just walks off.
10:07 "Only love can save the world..."
10:09 Oh no, there's a bladder control commercial for Enablex and the theme is a high school reunion.
10:11 Billy arrvies and hugs Melinda Sue. Billy wants Mindy to visit more. Krista Tesreau looks amazing by the way.
10:12 Grady is playing basketball in what looks like the Springfield High School gym. Daisy is happy that people are finally going to accept them.
10:13 This Grady story sure looks like it's headed for doom for the character.
10:14 Lizzie meets up with Cyrus and he tells her not to threaten Grady because he's dangerous. Lizzie wants to find out Grady's weakness. Cyrus says "set you up for life" money.
10:15 Cyrus calls Grady and tells him Lizzie is giving him $1 million to leave town and he needs to take it and leave town.
10:16 Phillip is getting all dressed up when Alan arrives home. Alan is giving him his usual speech about doing what he has to do to protect his family.
10:17 Phillip would do anything to protect his children but there are some lines you don't cross.
10:20 Grady calls Daisy and tells her he's taking her to Towers and that he just came into a lot of money. She wants to know where he got the money. He wants to meet at 8pm and told her to wear something hot.
10:21 Buzz is in the courtroom screaming about Alan. Billy hears him and walks in and tells him not to snoop to Alan's level.
10:22 Yay! The Four Musketeers are reunited. Everyone is happy to see each other. Mary "Pizza Face" Paxton is there. Phillip asks them if they would go back to their 17 year old days. They all say no.
10:24 Cyrus wants to talk to Daisy about Grady. Cyrus doesn't think Grady will ever fit in there but Daisy insists he will. He's talking to her like Grady will be gone soon. She says he's being weird and he chalks it up to being Australian.
10:25 Lizzie is staring at Grady through the cannery warehouse window and watches him take off his shirt and sees his scar and realizes he was her kidnapper. Finally!
10:29 Back from commercial and Grady is dressed. Darn. Buzz calls Grady and wants to meet him at the police station.
10:30 The reunion luncheon food is really bad. Mary walks over and scolds them for not wearing their name tags. Rick is way too into the apple sauce. Mary is thrilled Phillip and Beth will be coming to the dance later then she's off to see Dave Carter. Rick leaves to go flirt with Mary. Mindy and Beth want to see Dave Carter too. Who is this guy?
10:32 Phillip answers Beth's cell phone and it's Lizzie begging Beth to help save her from her kidnapper. Phillip takes off.
10:33 Cyrus is freaking out with Grady. Grady's choices have made it impossible for them to stay in Springfield.
10:34 Phillip arrives at the warehouse and looks for Lizzie. She sees him and runs into his arms.
10:38 Phillip reassures Lizzie that no one will hurt her. She pulls away and starts getting suspicious of him. She is having a complete meltdown.
10:40 Back at the reunion luncheon, Beth and Mindy notice Phillip is gone. Mindy is quoting Billy to try to make Beth feel better.
10:42 Buzz arrives at the Spaulding mansion and is SCREAMING again. Alan stays calm, cool and collected as Buzz tries to rip his eyeballs out. Buzz promises to cause Alan pain for the rest of his life as Frank drags him out of there.
10:43 Grady threw a snowball at Daisy's window. She walks out and Grady tells her she looks amazing. He has her spin around and he says he wants to remember her like that for the rest of her life. He gives her his dog tags so there's always a piece of him next to her. This sounds like THE END.
10:44 Lizzie looks passed out but I guess she's not. Phillip is talking to her about counting her toes when she was a baby as she lays face down on the floor.
10:45 Lizzie is the one perfect thing in crying Phillip's life and if she ever wants his help, he will always be there for her. Can he take her home? She motions that he can and gets up, and they start to walk out together.
10:48 A Van de Kamp's fish sticks commercial. Is this one of Bree's recipes?
10:49 Goodbyes are being said at the reunion lunch. Rick claims "Pizza Face" for his own. No one has seen Phillip. Rick tells Mindy and Beth they always like Phillip more.
10:50 Daisy tells Buzz she is meeting Grady at Towers. Buzz is smoking and drinking beer. She offers to play cards with him until she has to leave.
10:51 Lizzie tells Cyrus she knows Grady was her kidnapper. She now realizes Grady may have done something to Bill.
10:52 Grady meets Phillip on the edge of some cliff. Grady asks who he is and he says he's Lizzie father. End of episode.
PREVIEWS: Jeffrey is suing Reva for sole custody of the baby, Frank proposes to Natalia, Dinah and Shayne kiss, Bill tells Lizzie that Cyrus and Grady locked him up, and Phillip and Grady struggle on the edge of the cliff.
A good show today. I enjoyed it. It has been four weeks since Phillip returned and it's very evident how much he adds to the show and drives story. Seeing Mindy again was a real treat and I would like to see her back on a regular basis. Combine the Spaulding/Cooper drama with Otalia and you have great soap.
It was so good to see Minday today.
