Robin has come down with the "flu" from Sonny.

Mac and Sean discuss Evil Joe Scully.  And Mac congratulates Sean at the
same time Luke congratulates Tiff, who wishes Laura were there.

Brenda burbles over to the gatehouse to work on Ick-L's video, when to
my great relief Lois says she's realized a serious omission on Brenda's
part and they need to address it right away.  What Lois wants is an
old-fashioned girl-gossip session about Valentine's Day, who gave whom
what and how it went.  Mostly she wants to show off her ring.  Brenda
says everything is fine with her except Sonny does keep getting distracted.
Lois is afraid of wealth and unsure about Quartermaines.  Brenda assures
her she'll get used to them, and that Lila never says a bad word about her
(unlike Katybelle.)  Lois asks "How do you get used to a family full of
blackmailers and murderers? and Brenda corrects her "ALLEGED murderers!"
Lois points out that as families go, Bren has no basis for comparison but
she, Lois, has.

Luke is throwing his weight around, and why he thinks he has any escapes
me.  Sonny must choose.  Sonny goes to Joe's (Joe has just set up to
harass Miss Lucy for Damian, who has a snide smile.)  Sonny says "no", that
Joe has the prostitution, the pornography and the drugs, and Sonny's kinder
gentler mob will do everything else (what, protection?  Numbers?  Gambling?)
Sonny has made a new life for himself and wants to keep it.  Joe does not
take this well.  Sonny reports to Luke, who demands (where *does* he get
this chutzpah?) to know what he owes to Joe.  Turns out that when Deke
(the abusive cop stepdad) beat Ma to within an inch of her life, Joe
took care of him.  Luke does understand that this means Joe is dangerous.
Joe, meanwhile, is setting up to take care of Luke and Sean with his goons,
and I was pleased NOT to see Harry among them.  Joe makes an appointment
with Luke for dinner at the NoName tomorrow night.

Lucy is not having fun, as her supply of essences is lost in shipment.
Kevin comes by for lunch but ends up sharing doughnuts with Sigmund the
duck, who quacks up at his not-Ryan quality puns.  "Having trouble with
your essences?"  "I can see that it's of the essence."  Lucy finally gets
the promise of a new Air Express shipment from France within a week, and
toasts her success with (sparkling) water, which Kevin warns her is bad
luck.  Sure enough, now her shipments out are getting lost.

Kevin's plans are not working out, but Ryan is doing better.  He wakes
up to find Connie hovering.  He had, he tells her, let his guard down and
been attacked while cleaning the latrine.  He might as well be dead, and
he extracts a promise from Connie, oh-so-very-gullible Connie, to help him,
I think with "suicide drugs."  Uh-huh.  Dr. Hamilton comes in to examine
Ryan, and Miss Brooklyn Bridge Owner leaves.
