AJ NEEDS TO GET A LIFE

Ever since Sean Kanan has been in the part of AJ, he's been hitting on
other people's girl friends.  (I only saw the former AJ's non-wedding
and suicide attempt, and his fight with Alan, so I don't know if the character
has always been like this.)  Karen, Julia, Brenda, Lois, and now Keesha, and
failing Keesha, Lily.  This lad is in serious need of a life of his own, as
Jason pointed out to him again today.  (Well, Ned said it last time, but it's
beginning to look like it will replace "Shut Up, AJ" as the AJ mantra.)  He
comes into the Outback, sees Jason and Keesha dancing, and sits at their table
till Jason tells him "This is a DATE, AJ, and I don't know how long it's
been since you had one, but it means *two* people.  If you want subtle,
try this!  Take a hike!"
So AJ goes to the bar, where Ick-L and Leelee are emoting over whatever their
latest crisis is, and picks Lily up.  She smiles and laughs with him, and
Miguel does a creditable smolder.  (It's that Latin thing!)  Meanwhile, Jason
is watching, while Keesha talks about putting a steak on her head... no, he's
being Male, and isn't listening.  Lily leaves early and Miguel glares at AJ.
(Now, I'm hardly an Icky defender, but this went OK.)

LAURA AND RESPONSIBILITY
Lucky is whinging to Mike about the nerve of Edward wanting Foster fixed, and
he calls Mom.  (Every time they hang up after two rings I think they've changed
their minds!)  Laura doesn't like it either. **TIRADE #1** I can understand
Luke, being the Spencer kind-o-guy he is, not wanting to neuter his dog, but
Earth Mother Laura should darn well know better!!  She should be aware of the
unwanted litters destroyed at the pounds and be willing to do her part.
(Of course, I remember the "keep your spider in the box", and Lucky also
promising Officer Johnson that he'd ALWAYS keep Foster leashed.)  She should
also be more willing to tell the SORAS kid (he's no 11 or 12 any more) the
right thing to do, not just say "oh, I trust you to make the right decision."
My dog, two years old, has nieces and nephews (the owner didn't want the
pups neutered, and my daughter just sort of mumbled) and, I think, at least
one litter from the next generation.  Now, he's a nice dog, but there's
such a thing as too much of a good thing! **END TIRADE** Laura asks to
speak to Luke and complains about him letting Lucky face Edward on his own.
Lucky looks like Edward is a lot easier to face than the responsibility of
making his own decision.

MISC.
MaryMae and Simone talk about the breakup, and Justus comes in.  He asks
Simone to dinner, after announcing his interest in her trust fund, and
they kiss.

THE STING BEGINS (Ready with the Anti-Bobbie Drill Team, ladies!)
We open to a vision of horror.  Lucy is getting ready for the Big
Night with a mudpack and cucumbers on her eyes.  She's rattling
to Sigmund about how "Kevin will understand," but Sigmund keeps
trying to tell her "I don't THINK so!"  She feeds Sigmund her
eye-cukes, and the spares. Then it's time to choose a wardrobe.
Sigmund, in black tie and tail, (well, the tail is white,
but you know what I mean!) watches in fascination as Lucy
tries on, and discards, every item in her capacious wardrobe.  Hair
up, hair down, different bracelets, what to do, what to do?  Finally
she stops, with feathers in her hair and in major disarray, and asks
Sigmund what in heck is she going to wear.  "I thought you'd never ask!"
he quacks, and points out the perfect dress, a slinky little number that
looks terrific.  Oh, thank you...and then she's looking for her keys, and
lo and behold, Kevin has them.  (WHAT a killer (I hope not!) smile!!)
Next we see Lucy telling Kevin he scared Sigmund, and he says he doesn't
CARE about Sigmund (Philistine!)  They argue about the Luke plan, and
tells her "not only are you regressing before my very eyes, you're defending
Luke to me."  She pirouettes in the dress and he comments it looks familiar,
she "used it" on him.  "Doc, what a terrible thing to say."  He slams out.

At Luke's Mike is talking to Luke about Sonny, when Sonny comes in.  Then
Bobbie comes in.  She finds out about the crap game and invites herself,
but Luke says he'll stake her but she has to leave without argument when he
gives her the nod.  Joe flirts with Bobbie and vice-versa in the back room,
while Lucy slinks in and tells a bemused Mike that her duck picked out her
outfit.  He goes into the back to announce her, and Bobbie looks like she's
swallowed something unpleasant.  (Not her bile, that's quite visible.)
Joe is intrigued, both by this gorgeous wench and by who she is, and leaves
Bobbie.  Who then is given the nod to leave by Luke and despite her earlier
promise, she argues.  (At this point, I figured the Anti-Bobbie Brigade wasn't
needed, she was taking her lumps in all directions.)
        Meanwhile, Kevin has followed Lucy to Luke's and demands to know where
she is from Mike, who finally owns up to her being in the back room, but who
has to get more bouncer-ish and less maitre d'-ish when Kevin wants to storm in
there.  (He's definitely letting more of his emotions out this week, yes!)
"I'll lose my job, work with me on this?"  Kevin reluctantly sits at the
bar, where a sulky Bobbie finds him and gets all flirtaceous and malicious.
She says (Pot.Kettle.Black.) that Lucy is up to her old tricks, throwing
herself at every man in sight.  (And indeed, in the back room the action is
getting HOT.  Lucy decides to celebrate with some champagne and Joe follows
her to the front.  Luke and Sonny give each other the nod.) Kevin tells Bobbie
that she's hardly an impartial observer, and she says he can see for himself.
Lucy is baiting the hook, Joe starts to say something about Deception, and
I go into **TIRADE #2** as we had a special report.  It was a cop-killer/
hostage situation, important, yes, BUT it had been resolved (well) 10
minutes before, so they could have waited 30 seconds till the show was over
or 2 minutes till the credits were rolling.  We just had a CBS/ABC switch,
and the old station was really REALLY good about special reports, and about
catching you up if they'd interrupted, and this new channel doesn't seem
to care at all.  Besides, I hate the "This is a News..Special Report"
and especially hate "This Has Been a News..Special Report."
**END TIRADE**
