Wedding Plans & THE Video
-------------------------
Lois calls Gloria to warn her of the fax heading for Guts 'n' Glory with
the Quartermaine and Lois and Ned's wedding guest lists.  Gloria wants to
know if Lois has found a dress but Lois is too busy with Migless' video.
They do settle on a bakery for the wedding cake, a bakery chosen only because
Lois had seen such beautiful cakes in the windows on the way home from church
as a kid.  She ignores the fact that those cakes were probably plastic.  Lois
cuts off the conversation when Lily arrives.  Lily wants out of the video but
Lois won't hear of it, even when Ned suggests she listen to what Lily has to
say.  Finally when Ned points out that Lily seems to have strong feelings
about pulling out of the video but is trying not to hurt Lois' feelings does
Lois finally consent to listen.  Then Migless arrives.  Lois agrees that maybe
Lily has a point and Migless and Lily go outside to talk about it.  In the
gatehouse Lois bemoans having to rethink the video as Ned wonders "how he ever
managed to survive at the "helm" of ELQ without becoming intimately involved
in the most private aspects of his employees lives." [Line of the Day (LOTD)
#1] Migless agrees to do the video without Lily [why couldn't you have said
no...  and let there be NO video!]  Later Brenda and Migless are rehearsing
as the choreographer is calling out the moves.  Lois is not pleased.  Not
enough feeling!  Lily arrives to watch and finally Brenda and Migless start
to sizzle.  Lois is thrilled but Lily has that look of disgust that so many
of us have.  Only Ned notices Lily's reaction.  When Migless and Brenda take
a break everyone comments on the "heat" that's been generated and Lily "says"
the look of the video is great, but when Brenda and Miguel start up again she
leaves...and it's only Ned who notices.

Death on a Cracker
------------------
When Stone stops by to tell Luke he's going out Luke sees that Stone looks
really bad.  He suggests Stone head back up to bed but when he hears Stone
has a session with Kevin he suggests that since Kevin does have a medical
license that Stone have Kevin check out Stone.  Then Luke asks how the
"dyslexia" [the major PTB blunder..only a device to get Stone to see a
doctor] is going he offers Stone incentive,  Stone can help him with booking
acts for the club when he's made enough headway.  That's "cool" with Stone.
Kevin  ends Stone's session when Stone is frustrated with "but."  When Kevin
asks about the headaches he learns both Luke and Sonny have told Stone it's
time he see a doctor.  After hearing Stone's symptoms Kevin orders up some
tests including ones for Epstein-Barr, mono and hepatitis. Kevin includes
HIV.  Stone doesn't think that is necessary since he was tested 3 years
before when he left the streets.  The result was negative and Stone hasn't
been exposed since.  Kevin still orders up the test.

It's a Red Rose Day
-------------------
Lucy arrives at Kevin's office all bright and cheery with two roses, one red
and one white.  She presents the white one to Kevin.  He's the typical male,
befuddled by a woman giving a man flowers.  She wants Kevin to take her away
to celebrate the end of her troubles, well "almost the end."  Kevin wants
to know if she had anything to do with the drugs that Scully was caught with
but Lucy denies any connection.  He also wonders if there is a connection
to her desire to get away.  But all Lucy will say is that she wants to make
up for neglecting him and will tell him the "whole truth."  Kevin then wants
to know whom the red rose is for.  After teasing Kevin that it's for her
other lover she says it's for an old friend.  When she's out the door Kevin
utters the 2nd LOTD, "I'm doomed!"  Lucy shows up at the nurses station where
Bobbie and Alan have been discussing a patient.  Lucy gives Alan the red rose.
After he checks his watch and realizes the date he remarks..."A red rose to
match the red dress."  [LOTD #3]  Bobbie is in the dark until Alan reminds her
it's the anniversary of Lucy and Alan's anniversary.  Bobbie can't keep her
mouth shut and has to make a barb.  Lucy confesses to Alan that she has
nothing up her sleeve and that she's very happy with life as it is with Kevin
in her life.  She and Alan each wish the other happiness.  Later Bobbie can't
help but ask Alan about Lucy and Alan tells her it's the new Lucy and blesses
Kevin but Bobbie doesn't buy the new Lucy.  She then asks about Page and
learns Page has decided to stay in PC.  At the end of Bobbie's work day Alan
suggests she stop by the Quartermaine's for a drink and to visit Monica since
Monica has been isolating herself with Page.  She takes him up on the offer.

The Majorly Dumb Plan (tm T'n'T) Takes a Majorly Dumb Turn (tm TLC)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke has a short conversation with Bobbie and learns it was his voice
that allowed her to recognize him the night before at GH.  He won't give
her an explanation on how he got winged.  When he hangs up he and Mike
inform Harry about the hijacking and Harry is amazed they have lived to
tell about it.  Harry and Sonny try to put a damper on Mike and Luke's
celebration before Harry leaves and promises to keep his ears to the
ground.  Sonny gets a call from Scully's mouthpiece, his appearance at
county jail has been "requested" by Scully.  When Mike tries to talk him
out of the visit, Sonny counters that he's only doing damage control.  At
the jail Scully figures Sonny knows who set Scully up but Sonny only claims
to be there because a "friend" is in trouble.  Scully has just about
figured out he hijacked his own drugs.  Scully tries to connect Lucy and
Luke but Sonny claims that just because Lucy hangs out at LUKE'S and that
Luke has a grudge against Scully doesn't mean they'd be involved with this
kind of setup.  Scully isn't happy with Sonny after all Scully has done for
Sonny.  But Scully has taught Sonny a lesson, to stay away from drugs.
~here's one more lesson that Sonny hasn't learned when he can walk out of
the jail and Scully can't.  However school's out, Scully won't tell Sonny.
Back at LUKE'S Mike finally realizes the seriousness of this as Luke is
preparing his makeup for his court appearance but it's too late for Luke
to back out now.  Once court is in session Lucy "verifies" her statement
to the judge and commits perjury when she says she saw the truck being
loaded and saw it being locked.  Then Luke is questioned and says he *never*
transported or dealt drugs.  While Luke is answering questions Scully
asks his mouthpiece if Luke had ever worked for him....he looks familiar.
Luke identifies Scully's two thugs as the hijackers.  Despite the mouthpieces
best efforts the judge find sufficient cause to charge Scully, Morris and
the thugs.  Scully wants to be released on his own recognizance but the DA
objects and wants to deny bail.  The judge however suggests $2 million in
full and in cash.  That's agreeable to Scully but not to the DA.  Scully
reaches back to one of his men who hands him a briefcase.  Scully counts out
$2 million in cash and hands over his passport.  He walks out to a crush of
reporters.  Back in the courtroom Luke and Sonny agree to meet at the club
in one hour.  When Sonny learns Lucy is leaving town he tells her to make it
fast and watch her back.
