It's Couples Day again in old Port Chuck.

1.  Miguel/Lily
They talk.  St. Miguel is back, after all, he wasn't there.  At the end of the
show, they kiss.  Ick-l gets a positively manic grin on his face, making
me think he's a candidate for Dr. Kevin, or better, his twin.  Leelee looks
appalled, as in "ICK!!!!"  What have I DONE???"

2.  Ned/Lois::Foster/Annabelle
Lois dashes in to see Lila and apologize for losing Annabelle.  Lucky
quite happily announces that Foster will take care of A.  Lila looks appalled
at the potential puppies (and I think I'm reading "For Better or for Worse"
again.)  Lois says any respectable female will get led astray by a Really
Convincing Dog.  Besides, this is all Ned's fault!  Hey, says Ned, they are
just dogs being dogs.  "You ought to know."  We get to watch Foster and
Annabelle.  I'm afraid she's definitely now a fallen dog.  Lois and Ned look
in the park, and Ned locates Annabelle and bribes her with a lifetime supply
of the doggie treats she likes if she will just stay put.  Then he sits on
a bench and whispers for the dogs.
        Lois figures he set it all up.  "For Annabelle's sake I will modify
my hostility, but don't think it's not really there, OK?"  Finally she reverts
to a Bensonhurst shout, and Annabelle comes right up.  Foster is sent home,
Lucky is going to give him a facts of life talk.  (Mac, having been able to
buy a clue from a 20-year-ago now-disgruntled union organizer, is telling
Luke that Jack and Frank were connected.  Will Mac ever hit Sean over the
head with his discoveries?  Luke figures Foster will learn something and
probably thinks the potential puppies will be wonderful.  He says the last
time Lucky enlightened him he learned "more about DNA than your average
DA, but now everyone's an expert.")
        Meanwhile, Lila tells off Annabelle, who needs a good combing (and
a cigarette?)  Lois suggests "Get over yourself, Ashton, lord knows I did."
As Lila leaves them alone, Lois gets up to leave, and Ned shouts at her to
stay put.  "It's all fun with YOU, Lois!  Don't you miss us?"  (Lots of good
candidates for the Line of the Day, but I'm kinda partial to this one.)

3.  (Alternating funny with poignant, get out the tissues!)  Alan/Monica.
Alan and Bobbie wait for the results of Monica's operation.  It's bad news,
the lump is malignant.  Dr. Cahill wants to wait a week then do a chest X-ray
and bone scan to find out if this is a new cancer or not.  Aggressive chemo,
which Alan resents. Bobbie reminds him of what we all know: "Chemo is not
the enemy, cancer is."  Alan:"Everything about this cancer, including the
chemo, is the enemy.  This is a nightmare beyond anything I could comprehend."
Monica is brought in, she's devastated, they hold each other.

4.  Lucy/Kevin (and a cast of thousands.)
Kevin comes to Lucy's.  He feels and looks like a deer caught in the head-
lights.  Lucy says his pacing reminds her of her nervous cat Toby.  Does he
want to keep talking about Grace?  No.  Both are relieved.
        "Tonight is ours.  [Do I hear a Knell of Doom in the background?]
Nothing is going to interfere."  [Yep, *definitely* the Knell of Doom, but
what could it be?  Felicia is far enough away from a phone it can't be her,
and Bobbie's not going to turn up...]  Lucy goes to replace the wine bottle
(in her bare feet) and "OH MY GOD!!"  Worms.  (I've stepped on a slug barefoot
once, I could relate.  But hey, at least she didn't have to kiss Ick-L.)
Kevin agrees "Those worms are definitely --- healthy."  Lucy calls Lucky.
"Get your butt over here immediately!"  Lucky, for some unexplained reason,
having finished taking Edward for the $500, is now worried that it's a school
night.  Mac takes him to the Outback, and Lucky explains that this is a Worm
Crawl.  Foster eats some of them, I guess this is the canine equivalent of
a cigarette.  Lucy doesn't know why these things happen to her.  Kevin says
"This is happening to US, Lucy."

Teasers:  The Ick-L kiss.  Mac asks Kevin, "This was supposed to be *romantic*?"
Kevin says "I don't know why we bother."  They go downstairs for a drink.
Ned asks Lois to forgive him.  She looks terribly vulnerable.  And Alan holds
a sleeping Monica (pass the tissues!)

Wow.
