I have been REALLY impressed with Sharon Wyatt's swan song.  It must
have been tempting to sluff the last days after getting summarily fired,
but she's been *very* professional (of course, this is smart: gets her
other jobs, maybe gets them back at GH when OJTV is finally over, etc.)
It's the best acting I've seen from her in the three years I've been watching.
Back with the miscarriage and the suicide attempt I thought she looked
like she was sleepwalking through scenes, and I read that she had had
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome before, and it looked like she needed a rest.
This time she is really on top of the scenes.  Very impressive.
 End of editorial, time for the update!

1. We see Alan and Monica.  Monica is feeling guilty for dragging Alan
away and then not even letting him know if it did any good.  But he HAS
helped.  Now go home.  She's through the worst of it and will be going home
in a week herself, and she wants to give him a bit of a rest.  They agree
that trusting each other with the truth they're closer than they've ever
been.  Monica asks Alan "were you always this sensitive?"  I know the answer
to that one... seems I heard about him attempting to kill her at least once.
But he's Prince Charming (albeit a bit stouter) now!
        They're playing Hearts with Emily and Paige and Emily shoots the
moon and wins.  She doesn't want Alan to leave but he promises to send her
a postcard, not even addressed to "Dear Occupant."  He goes to see her
tarantulas (is this a girl for Lucky or what??) while Monica finds out that
Paige has another lump on her rib.  Emily tells Alan that tarantulas only bite
if they're scared or angry and Alan thinks of Monica and draws the
obvious connection.  Emily gets Alan to promise to bring Monica
back for the cactus flowers and May Sweeps.

2. Tom and Simone have it out.  She wonders how it went with his parents?
Audrey has been the perfect mother-in-law [No, I wasn't through editorializing!
I hope that if they are working on an Alztheimer's story for Audrey they
do show that there's a difference between common absent-mindedness (the
glasses on the head) which happens to all of us, especially as we age, and the
disease.  I don't want everyone suddenly being afraid they're senile if
they forget a word.] Tom tells Simone he still loves her, and asks her to
come to Africa with him.  She is reluctant because of her job, and Tommy,
and tell her about the competition, anyway.  Her name is Kelly and yes, Tom
has slept with her, but if Simone will only come to Africa, he'll give it
all up.  "There's nothing as important as putting the family back together!"
"As long as it's on your terms!"  Simone says it isn't a choice, it's an
ultimatum.  It's not a marriage, it's an illusion of structure, kept together
with paper. You can also tell she's annoyed with herself for NOT taking
advantage of Justus while she had the chance.

3.  Robin is still feeling rocky.  Mac tells her about Sean and she starts
to rant about how it's not fair!  (Sounds like Lucy yesterday, but with more
justification, considering her age.)  Stone comes and comforts her, which
annoys Mac, because HE was just getting on Robin's nerves and because he
doesn't have anyone to comfort him.  Stone promises (Over the Ominous Knell
of Doom, which I've been missing) that he isn't going to die and he isn't
going anywhere.

4.  They do an emergency patch on Sean, throwing Tiffany out of the room
and pulling the blinds.  Bobbie comes out to talk to her.  Bobbie and Tony
talk about Sean and Tiff, and Bobbie comments that each day is important.
Somehow she doesn't blame Lucy for this.  Mac comes to see Tiffany and
Tiffany remarks on the irony that it's a *friend* that finally brings
Sean down.  She tells about going out to shoot with her Daddy and killing
a possum.  She says that she didn't leave acting when she got married, that
"being a cop's wife was the performance of my life."  But the curtain's
going down, it's her turn for Sean.  Tiffany goes to see Sean who says he
has the hangover of his life.
