In her dream, faces swam before Valerie's eyes...some familiar, some not. "I'm so confused", she said, or rather tried to say, but the words would not come. I don't even know who I am! Am I Valerie, Danny's sister or sister in law? Or Vivian's sister or sister in law? Or, worse yet, am I all of the above, being married to my own brother?????

And what about Daddy? Is he secretly also Rockhead's father in which case I just arranged a surreptitious meeting with my half brother? or full brother? OR is Old Man rockhead sharing a room or maybe an IDENTITY with Daddy Vavoom???? Are one of us in, or soon to be in, the Witness protection program? Can we get a recap from central casting?

As she fell back into dreamless sleep, Valerie thought with relief: "at least it's not keeping me up at night like it is Chrisy!"
