Its the next morning. The weather is very stormy with thunder & lightning.

Damien is walking around the dark catacombs yelling for Bobi. He finds a
piece of metal & marks the wall to spot his wandering & use as a lever. He
walks around, couple of false leads & stumbles some. Eventually he gets back
to his mark, where he tries to dig out.

Bobi visits the Q mansion, introduced by Reginald, to check up on Monica.
Alan tells Bobi that Monica had an OK night but that he is worried that
Monica will insist on going through the ordeal alone, leaving him out. He
can't quite figure out how to deal with the situation and/or Monica. Bobi
suggests that Monica needs physical and time space.

Monica goes to her dressing room in her robe, we can see the bandage. She
looks in the mirror and [in one of the scariest scenes i've seen on soaps]
cuts the bandage and sees. She breaks up in tears then returns to her bed.
She is sitting up when Bobi knocks to visit. Bobi notices that Monica has
removed the dressing, evidently Monica was unable to make the change. Bobi
offers to change the bandage & Monica challenges Bobi by opening her robe to
show her the 'surgical strike'. Monica spews her hate about her past few
days. [umm, i'm not really doing justice to this scene, it was pretty
painfull & well played out.] Bobi gives encouragement & talks about old times
at the hospital. She leaves and updates Alan, who visits Monica. She tells
him she wants to be alone.

Lucky & Sly are getting ready to door-to-door sales of worms. Luke fails in
getting them to stay in from the rain & in explaining how "strike while the
iron is hot" applies to selling worms. The door bell rings, its Lucy who
wants to talk to Luke about Damien. Lucy sits down on the couch where upon
Foster drools on her lap. The boys talk about their venture & at Lukes urging
show her the worms. The boys leave and Lucy tries to be her own best
character witness. She then offers to join forces to get Damien. She tells
Luke about the bet extension and Damiens double cross with Deception. Luke is
amused by the proposition and says
                        L I N E   O F   T H E   D A Y
"I like Miss Coe, You live up to your reputation."  Lucy flusters, but Luke
promises to think about it.

Luke goes to the Q's and asks Alan, 'What is a Lucy Coe?'. Alan tells Luke
that he thinks Lucy is contrite about the bet & at Luke's behest will look
into the Deception buyout. Alan asks if Luke knows what Bobi is up to.

The boys first hit is Fily, who calls LuLu Leslie. Maxy comes out & they all
chat. Maxy gets confused about the reference to Robins eating worms. Somehow,
Kevin gets there. He gives a scientific overview and makes a rather bad pun
about the Diet of Worms and Martin Luther. Maxy asks if the boys needs to
leave when they get up to go. Kev invites himself over for dinner.  In an
unfathomable scene, the boys are sitting on a stoolstop when they are
confronted by a couple of older kids. Foster's growling saves the day.
