Shall We Share?
---------------
Luke shows up at the Outback and asks Mac to share and if Mac does Luke will
share with Mac about Jack Boland and Frank Smith.  Mac won't bite and won't
tell Luke for whom he is working and Luke won't tell Mac who told Luke that
Mac is asking questions about Frank Smith.  Finally after Luke sees how Mac
keeps a good poker face Luke tells Mac about the union trouble Jack and Frank
had during the time of building the airport.  Mac agrees that's a good place
to start and Luke figures Mac's a better person to do that digging.  In
exchange Luke will tell Mac all about Frank, Frank's family and Frank's
business.

The Beginning of A Quest
------------------------
At GH Bobbie sees Tony giving a nurse last minute instructions for his
patients.  Before they get a chance to talk Drs Quartermaine get off the
elevator.  Tony is pleased to see them but his mood is quickly changed when
he and Bobbie find out Monica is back in for another biopsy.  Alan and
Monica head off to Monica's room after Bobbie gives Monica some encouragement.
Tony and Bobbie talk about his reasons for going with Felicia to Cairo.  He
admits it's not just to help Felicia, that his motives are more complicated
that that.  He needs a breath of fresh air before they really get deeply
into therapy.  Bobbie suggests she go in Felicia's place but he turns her
down.  It's too soon for them to be alone together for any long period of
time.  He's off on a quest...not only to find Frisco but also for himself.
When Bobbie asks if he just might not want to stay in Cairo and give up on
their marriage Tony emphatically say he's sure he won't.  Meanwhile Felicia
arrives at the Outback with all her luggage.  She and Mac talk about her
expectations when Tony arrives.  Tony's is raring to go.  He heads out with
the luggage giving Felicia and Mac time to say goodbye.  He kisses her and
as she leaves they give each other a thumbs up.  On the plane Tony and
Felicia toy with the flight attendant when she assumes they are married.
Felicia says..."he's not my husband" and Tony says "that's not my baby" but
there are no further explanations.  Tony gives Felicia encouragement about
Frisco.  He tries to convince her Frisco might have changed when she brings
up how hard it was when Maxie arrived.  Later Felicia is sleeping with her
head on Tony's shoulder.  She is awakened when, he, no Frisco comments that
she still snores.  She surprised Frisco's there but Frisco is with her and
going home to Port Charles.  She puts her head down to go back to sleep until
Tony asks if her seatbelt is fastened.  Oops..that was just a dream.  Felicia
wonders...

Worm Crawl & Carpe Diem
-----------------------
An obviously lonely Lois shows up at the main house where she and Lila have
a discussion about Ned not being able to take no, dogs and consistency.  Lila
sees that Lois would like to take Annabelle with her to the gatehouse.  They
talk a little of the trials of the Qs and when Lois finds out Monica's latest
problem Lois realizes there are people worse off than herself.  Lois goes off
with Annabelle as Lila remarks out loud that Lois is just what Ned needs and
that he shouldn't stop trying.  Then in comes Reginald, his hands in blue
plastic gloves with a crisis in the kitchen.  It seems the worms are
multiplying and about to overflow the bin.  Lila tells Reginald to call Lucky,
to tell Lucky it's an emergency and to ask Lucky to bring his new dog with
him.

Meanwhile down at the gatehouse Lois tells Annabelle her problems as Lois
works.  She puts on a Martina McBride CD as she tells Annabelle that work
and music are her life.  She plays with Annabelle and when she looks up into
the studio, lo and behold Martina McBride is there singing.  Lois gets
inspired as she get busy stuffing mailers with Mophead's CD.  When Martina
finishes her song Lois asks if they can talk.  Lois wants to know how to
come up with hit songs.  They talk about burying one's heart in one's work.
Lois turns to say more...but Martina's not there.  It was all in Lois' head.

Back up at the main house Lucky arrives with Foster at the patio door.  He
tells Foster to stay and Reginald lets Lucky in.  The door isn't quite latched
and Foster is able to stick his nose in the door.  Lila notices the
resemblance to Foster and Lucky convinces her that Foster II is Foster's twin.
Lucky heads off to check out the worms.  It turns out the Qs have been feeding
the worms so well that they have multiplied to the point where some need to
migrate to new ground...aka worm crawl.  As Lucky offers additional bins,
Ned walks in.  Lila doesn't really want more bins so she suggests they add
the extra worms to the general worm population.  As one CEO to another Ned
warns Lucky not to expand too fast and just then in comes Edward.  He starts
to comment about Lucky being competition for ELQ till he notices Foster.
Edward doesn't buy the twin dogs story and demands Lucky return the 500 clams
he gave them for a new puppy.  Lila is just grateful Annabelle isn't there
and is at the gatehouse.  With that Foster takes off.  Edward is about to
call the cops but Lila stops him.  Ned volunteers to go after Foster.  Next
 we see Ned and Foster they are looking in a gatehouse window at Lois and
Annabelle.  Ned understands Foster and would like to change places with
Annabelle.  He gives Foster a little advice, and tells Foster, carpe diem.
When he gets no response out of Foster he asks if Foster wasn't taught any
Latin. "That's seize the day Fido" and Ned knocks on the door.  Lois doesn't
buy Ned's story that he's in search of the Spencer dog.  When Ned relates that
he doesn't believe the twin dog story because of Foster's amorous  movements
towards Annabelle, Foster barks, Annabelle takes off and the dogs head off.
Lois is all worried that she's shirked her responsibility and Ned tries to
say it was all his fault, he "didn't know Foster was lurking."  Ned tries
to convince Lois to let the dogs just be together.  He tries to talk to her
but Lois won't have it.  He violated her and trampled on what she had never
trusted anyone with before and now she'll never be the same, never be Lois
Maine.  She runs off after the dogs as Ned's heart sinks.

Tests in Order to Live or to Die?
---------------------------------
In Monica's room Monica expresses her anger at having to go through all this
all over again.  She questions her earlier requests of Dr. Cahill to preserve
as much of Monica's breast as was possible.  When she questions if this is
a way to die instead of a way to live Alan tells her to be mad just like he
is.  They have a tender moment as Alan questions why we are made to soar only
to be trapped in a cage that can be so vulnerable.  Just then in comes
Bobbie with the consent forms.  Bobbie will drop them off and then scrub so
she can be in OR with Monica.  However Monica asks Bobbie to come back and
stay with Alan.  Bobbie heads off as the Drs Quartermaine just hug each
other without saying a word.  Bobbie joins Alan who is alone in Monica's
room.  It's the toughest thing Alan  has ever gone through.  When Alan tells
Bobbie it's killing him he realizes what he said and vows never to use that
expression again.  Bobbie tries to be encouraging by pointing out they have
access to all the latest treatments, have all the $$ they need, and they
have each other to help get themselves to the other side of this.  She
tells Alan he and Monica have what it takes spiritually to get through it.
Alan would give every last penny...he prays what Bobbie says is true.
