Think Tiffany!
--------------
Ned and Lucy escape the demonstrators by going back into the hotel.  Ned
believes Lucy when she vows that Deception does no animal testing.  Katherine
sticks her nose in the conversation and gloats that Lucy's got a PR
nightmare.  Lucy is at a loss at what to do until Ned tells her to "Think
Tiffany."  Lucy first wants to demand equal time but Ned cautions her and
Lucy comes up with a tour of Deception's research lab so she can show she
doesn't use animals.  Lucy even suggests she could wear a bunny suit.  Ned's
eyes light up-with a bunny tail and a push-up bra.  Not so funny to Lucy.
Ned suggests a pet for the photo op but Lucy doesn't have any except worms.
She doesn't even have the duck anymore...yes, Ned remembers the duck.  Ned
ends up offering Annabelle.  Ned is confident Lucy can pull this off and
turn a PR nightmare that is going to send Edward through the roof into
positive press.  Lucy thanks him...yes she can do this, if only Katherine
hadn't seen her humiliation.  Katherine has returned to her apartment where
she is gloating over Lucy's humiliation and her libido is flying high.  That
suits Damian just fine.  However, Katherine is disappointed that Sonny won't
help Damian with Damian's plan to create havoc with Deception's shipping.
Damian does need someone to implement his plan...so Damian can't be held
accountable.  In the meantime, Katherine will keep Lucy distracted with the
bunny lovers.

Now the Hardys Are Worried
--------------------------
Audrey notices Bobbie is obviously distracted while Audrey is trying to
tell Bobbie about a schedule change.  Bobbie notices Amy eavesdropping
and when Amy says everyone is concerned about Bobbie and Tony Bobbie lets
them know it's as bad as ever.  Bobbie claims Kevin isn't helping...they
need a miracle worker which Kevin isn't.  Audrey is distressed that Bobbie
makes it sound hopeless.  Steve arrives at the nurses station with Audrey's
big bag.  She'd put it on the car to look for her keys and drove off, causing
it to fall to the driveway.  She mentions her sister saying something about
always loosing things [why didn't she say her sister's name...don't they
know it's Lucille!].  Amy launches into a story about losing a box of
bandages until Audrey sends her off.  Audrey's concerned about a personnel
matter and Steve thinks it's Amy...but Amy is a good nurse.  No Audrey's
concern is Bobbie.  She's afraid Bobbie's state of mind might affect Bobbie's
work.  Steve hunts up Tony and wonders if maybe Tony and Bobbie might need
some time off while they're going through this difficult time.  But for Tony
that's the last thing he wants.  Work is the only thing that makes Tony feel
like a whole human being.  Tony does admit he still has a problem with Damian
but he has realized their problems go deeper than Damian and existed before
Damian.  Lucy arrives at GH looking for Kevin but Kevin has had an emergency
with a patient at a clinic.  She learns this after having to try to convince
Amy not to believe everything she hears...like Deception testing on animals.
Lucy isn't happy.  When Bobbie hears her complaining that Kevin isn't
there when Lucy needs him Bobbie lays into Lucy about not even getting a
hangnail from all her scheming while Bobbie's whole life is upside down from
one little mistake. [only one Bobbie!!!]  Lucy realizes Bobbie is jealous of
Lucy's special relationship with Kevin and tells Bobbie she needs a shrink.
Lucy repeatedly tries to tell Bobbie Lucy tried to warn Bobbie about Damian
but that only further enflames Bobbie until Tony arrives on the floor and
has to break them up.  He tells Bobbie to get a grip.  When Bobbie tries to
once again blame Lucy Tony tells Bobbie to take a good look a herself.  A
concerned Amy goes to check on Bobbie while Lucy and Tony apologize.  Tony
apologizes for Bobbie and Lucy apologizes as well, not having known Bobbie
was so close to the edge.  Tony lets Lucy know she's not the cause of Bobbie's
problem and Lucy's part in the bet has nothing to do with what Bobbie is going
through now.

A Near Miss and Michael Corinthos, Jr.
--------------------------------------
At Carmine's sporting good store Mac manages to evade Lois, even when she
offers to help her dad out with the one customer Carmine has, Mac.  Before
Lois can get to him another customer comes in and Lois tends to her.  Mac
takes the opportunity to buy what he's trying on and wears it out the door
just as Carmine tries to introduce Lois to Mac since Mac and Carmine had been
talking about Lois and Sonny.  Carmine finds out Lois came to talk to Gloria
about that weasel Lois married.  He wants Lois to think with her brain not her
heart since Ned is only doing what she wants...be Eddie and once Ned has her
back he'll revert to his old lying ways.  Carmine then contrasts Ned with
Sonny who is good to the bone but took a couple of wrong turns but now has
found his way home.  [Little do you know Carmine!]  Carmine claims a man
always returns to his roots.  Meanwhile Mac is trying to find out more about
Sonny.  This time in what looks like a candy store.  Mac finds out this guy
considered Sonny a punk and managed to find favor with a local gang leader,
who has moved on up, named Joe Scully.  Turns out Sonny was sent upstate by
Scully to run a nightclub.  When Mac is asked what he said his name is...he
didn't and says his name is "Johnny Capricorn."  [Huh, Scorpio/Capricorn]
Mac returns to Port Charles and locates Ned at the hotel.  [Since when does
a hotel exec do paperwork in the lobby.]  He's got hot information about
Sonny.  Mac spills about Sonny being mentored by Scully and additionally has
found out that the Paradise Lounge was once owned by Joseph A. Scully and 5
years ago the title was deeded over to one, Michael A. Corinthos, Jr.  Ned
wants more but is pleased until he finds out Mac almost ran into Lois.  Ned
wants Sonny out of Lois and Ned's life.  Meanwhile Lois has returned from
Bensonhurst.  Brenda "has been busy" and Lois is surprised Brenda hasn't moved
back with Sonny yet.  Lois admits she didn't really get what she wanted from
her parents--validation.  Brenda speculates that's because that's what to
expect from parents...or so she's heard.

When Will The Other Shoe Drop?
------------------------------
Harry informs Sonny that Cusak can't be found and that folks are wondering
if Sonny turned Cusak into the invisible man.  Sonny claims he knows nothing.
Just as Sonny and Harry are contemplating a meeting with a couple of Cusak's
men the door opens and it's Brenda.  She's ready to move back but Sonny
doesn't think that's a great idea.  Harry heads off to set up the meeting.
Brenda wants Sonny to remember what's the most important..."us."  Cusak's
men talk with Sonny and tell him then didn't approve of the firebombing.
They want to work with Sonny but it takes some convincing from Sonny before
they are willing to "enforce without muscle."  They agree to follow Sonny's
rules and are on the team.  Sonny warns them if the rules are broken all bets
are off.  When they leave Sonny has one great concern.  He's waiting for the
other shoe to drop and wonders what the people who took Cusak want.  After
Harry leaves Sonny is alone with this cigar and a big smile on his face.
