                            By John R. Andrews, UIC

NOTE: In the future, Monday and Friday updates will be posted ONLY to newsgroup
      rec.arts.tv.soaps.abc.

Scene 1
Luke checks his piece [his gun, of course, gutter mind] as he and Sonny discuss
Luke's upcoming meeting with Joe Scully.
Scene 2
Joe and one of his goons talk briefly about luring Sean into a setup.
Scene 3
At the Ward house, Lucky banters with Mae Mae about his mother.  First Lily
then Justus drops in. When Simone, who was checking out some of the kids, tries
to leave, her car battery is dead [like this scene's dialog].
Scene 4
Justus offers Simone a ride home. Mae Mae asks her about Tom whose return is
overdue; she says he's expected at any minute [Western Union couldn't have
telegraphed what's going to happen more blatantly].
Scene 5
When Lily offers to volunteer at the Bradley Ward house, Mae Mae accepts
readily. Lily then proceeds to spill her guts about Juan and Miguel.
Scene 6
Sonny tells his father Luke's walking into trouble, but when Mike tries to
offer his help, Sonny rebuffs him angrily, ragging on him about the past and
his treatment of Sonny's mother. Mike asks for another chance, but Sonny says
no [Think Mike is going to bite the dust saving Sonny? Or maybe Mike can take
Joe Scully out.]
Scene 7
At Simone's place, Justus schmoozes her offering to chauffeur her around while
her car is being fixed. She then invites him to stay for dinner [telegraph
heard in the background].
Scene 8
Luke arrives at the No Name Supper Club to meet Scully. The cops outside
immediately call Sean who slips on his shooter for the show down at the No Name
Corral.
Scene 9
In a good scene, Joe offers the slightly hostile Luke a seat.  Joe begins by
discussing Sonny. Luke says Sonny must decide what's important to Sonny. Joe
tells him that Sonny is too soft to run the business, and he's going to get
killed. Luke says he's only interested in his club and will probably buy Sonny
out soon so he can be out of Sonny's business totally. Scully replies in a not
very veiled threat that Luke is naive to think he will ever be out of it
knowing what he knows.
Scene 10
Sean, Garcia, and his two undercover officers huddle around a burning trash can
waiting for Luke to come out and singing "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen."
Scene 11
In an unbelievably distasteful scene, Lily visits Miguel in his room excited to
tell him she's going to work at the Ward house. Suddenly, she blurts out, "I
don't want to wait; make love to me now this minute."
[I can't believe the actress could even utter those lines]
Miguel balks at the idea [oh, puuuullllleeeezzzzeee],
but she says she was wrong in wanting to wait.
[don't wait. Just find someone else].
Scene 12
Simone serves up a little wine before dinner. They touch on the subject of Tom.
She says he's on his way [di-di-di-da-da-da-di-di-di].  After a bit, Simone
finally admits that Tom and she have some things to work out and maybe a change
is needed.
Scene 13
Joe tells Luke that ordinarily when someone like Luke is around who knows what
Luke knows and is as hostile as Luke is, he'd be making plans already to
eliminate the problem.  Eventually, Joe comes to the point. He wants Luke to
stay out of Sonny's and his business, and also he wants Luke to pay him 10% of
the club's profits. Luke tells him he won't pay protection to anyone; so shove
off.  After Luke leaves, Joe's goon tells Joe that Sean is in the parking lot.
Scully smilingly tells him, "You know what to do."
Scene 14
Simone and Justus do a bit of semi-flirting as Justus does a pseudo-Dad number
playing with Simone's kid.
Scene 15
Lily continues to beg Miguel to play matador and show her some of his sword
work, but he tells her it's only about Juan not them. She is incredulous and
tries to excite him with a medley of songs from West Side Story.
Scene 16
As Luke walks to his car, Sean waits in the dark nearby.  Suddenly, we see a
figure point a silencer-equipped pistol.
Scene 17
Lily finally gets mucho PO'd at her Lacking Latin and leaves saying she's got a
lot to think about [like where to get some Energizers real quick].
Scene 18
As Justus and Simone play with Tom Jr. making like a happy family, guess who
should walk in [funny he still has his key] but Tom Sr.  Though Simone greets
him affectionately, he seems a bit taken aback by the scene.
Scene 19
As Luke stands by his car, a shot is fired; Sean immediately jumps up to return
fire. Unfortunately, so does Luke whose shot strikes Sean in the head. Luke
rushes to him. "What are you doing here?"  Luke asks unbelievingly. "Dying, I
think," Sean weakly replies before losing consciousness. [Though I reran this
several times, I couldn't really decide whether Luke shot Sean thinking he was
the gunman, or Sean just got caught in the crossfire. Since Sean had his back
to Luke, it seemed unlikely Luke would shoot someone intentionally in the
back.]
