LIFE GOES ON BREAK A LEG, MOM 12/2/89
An episode showcasing the singing talents of Patti LuPone, a Tony winner for the musical "Evita," actually centers on Corey (Christopher Burke), for whom nothing seems to be going right. First, he has an accident in driver's ed. Moreover, he's not doing well in his remedial arithmetic class, and if he doesn't pass a minimum-competency test he won't be able to stay in the mainstream program. What really gets to Corey, though, is the uneasy feeling that his mom (LuPone) gave up a promising show-business career because he came along. As it happens, Lucy has a chance for a comeback of sorts, at the community college's "Autumn Follies." She wants no part of it. And Corey doesn't want to take arithmetic tutoring with kids 10 years younger than himself. But they work out a deal: he'll take the tutoring if she auditions for the show.

LIFE AFTER DEATH
After years of wanting Tyler, Becca (Kelle Martin) suddenly finds herself interested in Jesse (Chad Lowe), who's friendly and intelligent but strangely aloof. When she innocently kisses him, he immediately rejects her—and she wants to know why. The reason is devastating: he has tested HIV-positive. Nevertheless, Becca is supportive and swears to keep his secret. Then Jesse and Tyler (Tommy Puett) get into a fight, blood spills—and Becca blurts out in front of everyone, "Get away from him—she's got AIDS!"

Special Preview New Series
2448. TWIN PEAKS
Like every town you've ever seen. And no place you've ever known.
THE LOG'S TALE Debut. 4/8/90
There's a resident of Twin Peaks known as the "Log Lady." I'm usually cradled in her arms. The Log Lady and I aren't the strangest sights to turn up since director David Lynch turned his camera on this Northwest lumber town. Now that I'm a star, I'd like to recall the roots of our notoriety.
Old Pete Martell (Jack Nance) finds the plastic-wrapped body of a homecoming queen (Sheryl Lee) washed up on the lakeshore, setting up the central mystery of Lynch's serial drama: who killed Laura Palmer? But that's not the only question to occupy the compulsively deductive mind of FBI special agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), as indicated by his first question to Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), who assists Cooper on the case: "What kind of fantastic trees do you have growing around here?" (Repeat 2 hrs.)

2451. GORILLAS IN THE MIST. (1988)
Sigourney Weaver's Oscar-nominated portrayal of naturalist Dian Fossey (1932-85) dramatizes this 1988 film, set against striking African backdrops. The drama opens in 1966 Kentucky, where physical therapist Fossey applies for a job with anthropologist Louis Leakey (Ian Cullbertson) with such persistence that he eventually gives in and sends her to Central Africa to study mountain gorillas. Her first encounter with the powerful yet shy beasts is less than cordial. Then, when National Geographic photographer Bob Campbell (Bryan Brown) arrives to make a film about Fossey, her own reaction is territorial and hostile. In time, however, the gorillas warm up to Fossey, and she warms up to Campbell. But the mountain is never a peaceful kingdom. The gorillas are threatened by poachers and zoo brokers, whose actions are outrageous to Fossey—but important to Rwanda's economy. "Your problem," the Minister of the Interior tells Fossey, "is de-crowding gorillas. More is increasing people." Rated PG-13 for strong language and violence. Directed by Michael Apted. Close-captioned on HBO. Roz Carr; Julie Harris; Senta Berger; John Omran Mikwa; Van Vleck; Constantine Alexandrov. (2 hrs., 10 min.)
