And the headlines in Port Chuck certainly are an improvement over
those in RL.  There are two big stories:

EDWARD QUARTERMAINE INDICTED IN 20-YEAR OLD BRADLEY WARD MURDER
Tiffany, of course, is covering the story.  Ned has gone along
to provide moral support for his grandfather.  Edward pleads not
guilty, and the DA, who appears to be running for higher office
(governor of New York, perhaps?) insists on $10 million bail,
with ALL of it to be paid.  Lee objects to this on the basis
of his client's character.  The judge, however, agrees to the high
bail (perhaps because of Lee's argument!) and also orders Edward
to surrender his passport.  Back at the mansion, Lila refuses to
be sent to her room when the high-priced lawyer comes to discuss
tactics.  This guy is Milton Stannis, gorgeous, fresh off the OJ
case and ready to pull strings and fight for Edward.  Edward is
very confrontational.  He doesn't want to wait 20 days, and he
doesn't want to cooperate at all, but Lila's presence softens
him a bit.  He says he did not kill Bradley, but he has "no
evidence, no alibi, not one damn thing."

NEDDIE ASHTON-MAINE AND THE IDLE RICH TO PERFORM AT THE OUTBACK
Ned is late to rehearsal, so Brenda and Lois discuss the Edward
story.  Lois figures he did it, but she's sad to see Lila hurt.
It's bad to have your "white knight" muddied.  (I don't think
she realizes how un-naive Lila is, and has been, for years!
Of course, she's relating personally, too.)  They talk about how
Ick-l isn't doing anything either.  Brenda tells Lois about the
child, and Lois is horrified that Lily didn't tell Ick-l.  But Lois
at least thinks to feel sorry for Lily a little, Brenda meanwhile
only relating to Mophead.  (I hope part of that is green-eyed monster.)
Lois says this is a management problem.  The Line of the Day: "What
we have to go through to keep the talent functioning in this place."

Ned arrives.  Lois uses Brenda to tell him off.  She wants him to
sing "The Road Not Travelled" (? sorry, is that the name of it?)
but he has another song in mind to warm up his pipes.  He sings
"Believe my Love" to Lois.  She doesn't like how it's performed.
Ned will do anything to please her.  Till hours later, when they're
shouting at each other with the band and Brenda chorusing "trust
him".  At one point Ned uses the words "artistic integrity" and
Lois doesn't figure he knows what that word means.  Will the concert
tomorrow at the Outback really happen?

Mac calls Sean to come quick, Filly has decided to get in touch with
Frisco.  She nearly kills them both when she finds out they've been
trying to find him, (and they are both terrified of her, it's easy
to see!) but she'll let Sean call his contact and see what he can find
out.  Meanwhile, F&M discuss Edward Q's case.  "Who knows what anyone is
capable of, especially a Quartermaine."  Frisco is in Cairo, which is
huge, but Filly is going.  (Yes, but why didn't he even send Maxie a
birthday greeting, I agree with the r.a.t.s.ers!)  Mac wants to come
along, he'll abandon Robin to Sean and Tiff again.  Filly isn't sure
of this.  Sitting in her bedroom, talking to Phantom Frisco, she
says "Mac needs me to need him" but she doesn't.  Phantom Frisco
serenades her a little.  Bring back Rick Springfield, say I!

Sonny and Luke are discussing the indictment.  Luke thinks maybe Frank
did it.  They go to meet Harry, the original owner of the Paradise
Lounge, who has underworld contacts, and who will continue to keep
his ears open.  Sonny and Luke talk about Luke's plans for the club,
which is going to be special.  Oh, Ned is performing at the Outback
tomorrow night. Luke is definitely going.  Sonny suggests that
Luke bring Laura to Puerto Rico with the Miguel tour. (Sonny's
"redemption" started with Laura.  He's got a definite madonna
(not THAT Madonna!) crush on her, the first "good woman" who
has really liked him and been good to him.)
