Geeze Louise, TPTB gave me both video and the MDP to write about.  So
I'll postpone the inevitable and start with Quartermania.

ZEE FOUL PLAN (Sorry, Sigmund, no pun intended!) IZ AFOOT
Boris and Natasha (ah, that is, Damian and Katherine) have decided to
celebrate at the Outback instead of the other hangouts where they are so
popular.  (I don't know why everyone in town doesn't refuse to serve them
so they'll have to learn to use a microwave like the common folk, but I
digress.)  The Minorly Dumb Plot (this might actually work, considering
its intended victim) is chugging right along.  Katybelle eats and
contemplates revenge with spit and food clinging to her saline-enhanced
lips.  Yucco, lucky *I* wasn't eating at the time!  Meanwhile, said
intended victim is checking the newspaper with a smug look when Edward
comes in, and Forbes the investment counsellor calls.  Edward nearly pops
with curiousity.  Jason comes in just as AJ explains the "good" part,
that Katherine had put him up to this.  "PLEASE tell me you're not
letting Katherine anywhere close to the Charles Street Foundation!"
Jason and Edward show some healthy suspicion of Katybelle's motives, but
Edward gets sidetracked with the desire to really nail K.  AJ deflects
attention by asking Jason if he and Keesha got any sleep in Paris.  (AJ
really DOES need to get a life!)  Jason tells a bit about the first hotel
"Beware of 'quaint'" and hears that Paige and Emily are staying.  The
brothers vow to make it as easy as possible for Emily.  Monica comes in
and gets a hug, hears a bit about Paris, nearly bites her lip off giving
what my sister and I refer to as the Wise Nod (given when one of our
grown kids does something we think is fairly foolish), and gets a
Parisian scarf.  Bobbie comes in and wants to know where her present is,
but I will give her credit that I think she really was joking.  She has
gifts for Paige and Emily.

Meanwhile, back at the Outback, Boris and Natasha are finishing their
meal as Lucy comes up and tells them Scully has been caught and Deception
is saved and their plans have all been for naught.  Miss Subtlety nearly
chokes on her dessert, but manages to avoid her usual get-up-and-duke-it-
out response.  She worries that Scully may connect Damian to the drugs.
Damian decides to pretend it doesn't matter, and at least they made Lucy
have some sleepless nights, and tomorrow is another day.

(*updater sigh*)
THE STEAM IS NOT ALL ON THE SET
This is just the first rehearsal!  We're going to get MORE of this video!
Lois is raving over the Majorly Dumb Video (are T&T going to get me for
trademark infringement?) and Ned points out that the chemistry doesn't
work for everyone, that Lily walked out.  He points out to Lois that he
doubts Brenda and Miguel are just acting.  Well, maybe Brenda is, but
would Lois like to have Brenda dancing like that around him?  Just then
Sonny comes in, looking, as Lois says, like he just swallowed his pet
goldfish.  Brenda catches sight of them, waves, but races over during the
break to see if this is OK with Sonny.  The man is really in love.  "You
make him look *wonderful*, sweetheart", he lies.  He can only take so
much, though, and heads back to Luke's.  Lily comes in and looks her
usual lovely weepy self.  Sonny tells her to tell Miguel to get
over it.  After all, if they can put up with the likes of the
video (Sonny is bottling up again.  When this man blows, watch
out!!) M. can allow Lily to have a friend.  Meanwhile, of course, Ick-L
is sulking about Sonny (I think he wants Brenda at this point,
and Sonny is in the way).  The interminable rehearsal is finally over.
Brenda heads to the club, where she sees Sonny and Lily talking (about
teaching, as it happens, and Lucky and Sly, and chatting in Spanish).
The temperature goes so far down the next Ice Age is imminent, and Lily
makes her escape.  Sonny warms Brenda up by drawing the obvious
correlation between her activities with Miguel and his with Leelee.
Back at the studio, Lois is counselling Ick-L on having faith in True Love.

(*whew*! I want combat pay!  The Sigmund Defense Fund is unexpectedly
depleted since that last little trip to Reno, and, well...)

THE MDP(tm) TAKES THE EXPECTED TURN FOR THE WORST
Luke calls Lucy and asks if her bags are packed.  Why is she in the
office, anyway?  She should stop by Luke's before she leaves.  (Oh,
THAT is brilliant!  Line up all Scully's ducks in a row, pardon the
expression, Sigmund!) At Luke's, she rattles on about the Great Escape
to get there without being followed.  Luke is beginning to realize how
majorly dumb his plan actually is.  He gives Lucy permission to tell Doc
Kevin.  (Who I'm sure will have some pertinent opinions as to the
dumbness of the plan!!)  Sonny comes in and says it's worse than they
thought.

Back at the Outback, Lucy wants Mac to ducksit.  It won't be the least
trouble, he needs food, and water, and quality time (Mac refuses to sing,
he'll read the paper to Siggy), oh, and a nice bath.  Mac is certain
Sigmund will take Lucy's absence in stride, uh, waddle.  Lucy stops to
gloat at B&N and heads out the door, where, surprise, surprise, she is
kidnapped.  Mac, who is looking for some last minute instructions about
duck pellets, sees the kidnappers roar off with Lucy.
