                          Update for Tuesday, May 2

                           (filling in for crp:)

Scene 1
Frisco is back, and repeatedly asks Felicia if she wants him to stay.
First she says they shouldn't talk about it till they've had some rest.
Frisco gets the munchies and decides to raid her fridge.

Scene 2
Page, tossing and turning, is visited by Emily. Obviously in pain, she
tells Emily she's "as okay as I can be right now". Monica and Emily
talk her into taking her pain medication, though she says it does weird
things to her head (maybe it's that scarf?).

Scene 3
Starts with repeat from yesterday. Sonny confronts Joe. As Joe tries to
shoot Sonny, Mike comes out of nowhere and takes the bullet. Luke throws
Lucy the keys to the car and tells her to get out of there. Sonny and
Joe point guns at each other, Joe telling Sonny he won't do it.

Scene 4
Mike moans on the floor. Joe leans over to take another shot at Mike, and
Sonny shoots him. As Joe dies, he tells Sonny he's learned the last lesson:
when it's you or your enemy, only one of you walks away. "Taught you good,
didn't I?" Joe says, and then falls back, dead. Sonny replies, "Yes, you
did, Joe." Sonny gently closes Joe's eyes. Luke yells, "Sonny! He's still
alive! We've got to get him some help, fast!"

Scene 5
Emily asks Page if she'd like her to read some poetry. Emily explains to
Monica that they've been reading poetry to each other since she was little,
from a book that belonged to Page's grandmother. Page asks for Tennyson.
Emily reads a haunting poem about coming death, "May there be no sadness
or farewells when I embark"..."I hope to see my pilot face to face when I
have crossed the bar".

Scene 6
Frisco makes the pita sandwich from hell: white gushy stuff (tofu), some
of that sandy-tasting stuff, sliced avocado, alfalfa sprouts. Miss
Healthnut chides him on his choices and asks if it's good. Frisco says
it could use a few slices of pastrami, and reminds her she hasn't answered
his question. Felicia says she appreciates Akim's help. He says again she
hasn't answered. She says she doesn't know what to say. (YAWN)

Scene 7
Luke, holding his hand over Mike's wound, yells at Sonny that he needs
help fast. Sonny, in a daze, asks in a small voice where Mike came from.
Luke snaps, "Just be glad he came!" Sonny mumbles some more. Lucy shows
up, sees Mike, starts freaking. Sonny snaps out of it, tears off his
shirt and tie, says "We've got to put pressure on the wound". They take
Mike away. Sonny goes back to get something, Luke yells at him to "come
on!".

Scene 8
Emily describes her greatgrandmother's book, wistfully remarking on how
it was falling apart. Monica cheerfully explains that it can easily be
restored, with a new cover and patched pages. Page whines "It should
be so easy for people". A pregnant pause, then Page sends Emily to bed.
Once she's gone, Monica and Page discuss how wise Emily is beyond her
years. Monica suggests she's an old soul. Page recalls seeing Emily for
the first time. Monica: "You let her be who she is, and that's the greatest
gift you could've given her. Page starts sobbing uncontrollably.

Scene 9
Page apologizes for her outburst, explaining it's that minutia business again,
that she thought she had years to tell Emily stories such as her memories of
her grandfather and his coin collection. "Since she's not going to have any
family, I mean blood relatives, I wish I could give her the small things, the
stories." She agonizes that she'll never have the chance to tell Emily about
all her things. Monica says "Not necessarily."

Scene 10
Felicia says "the question isn't what I want: it's what you want". They talk
about how Frisco hasn't had a home. Felicia says she no longer doubts she is
able to handle whatever life hands her. She reminisces about the birth, the
ordeal with Ryan, and how she made it through without him. And she'll be
damned if she sets them up for another disappointment. Frisco acknowledges
she can live without him, but asks why she should have to. They kiss. Awwww.

Scene 11
Mike is in the backseat of the car being cared for by Lucy. Luke says he told
Garcia what happened and to meet them at the hospital, then insists he drive.
Lucy screams she can't find his pulse. Sonny is pensively withdrawn.

Scene 12
Lucy keeps babbling in the backseat, asks how Sonny and Luke found her. Luke
tells her Damian helped them. Luke wants to know how she stayed in one piece
until they got there. Lucy recounts how she kept one-upping Joe, replying How
dare you? when he said How dare you?, and her silly story about Jonesy Alan
and Phil Kusack. Luke seems impressed. Sonny asks what's happening with Mike.
Lucy goes into her hysterics again. Luke hits the gas, tells everyone to
hang on.

Scene 13
Felicia says she thinks the problem is that Frisco isn't listening to her. He
says she's the one not listening, that he wants to make big changes, to
stay there and be a father. She says she knows him, that he'll always be
what he is, and she wants to believe him but doesn't want to put the girls
in a position to get hurt. Frisco: "Why don't we just be glad to see each
other?" They make out. Felicia makes him sleep on the couch. Frisco asks
haltingly, "How long will it be like this?" She giggles, "I guess we'll see!
Sweet dreams!"

Scene 14
Page wishes she could sort her stuff out for Emily. Monica offers to go to
Phoenix and pack up and send it all back, so Page and Emily can go through
the small stuff. Page doesn't think she's strong enough for it. Monica asserts
that it is within her power. Page says she's feeling goofy, fades out. Monica
gets worried, wakes Page up to ask her if she wants the light off or on.
Page mumbles about liking the light on if she wakes up in the night. A quick
shot of Monica outside the bedroom door taking a deep breath.

Scene 15
Monica tells Alan about her plan. Alan of course complains, doesn't understand
why Monica can't just let Reginald deal with it, that she's done enough
by taking in Emily and he can't allow her to jeopardize her condition.
Monica doesn't remember asking his permission, and reminds Alan she's been
given a positive prognosis and wants to give something for someone who
wasn't as lucky. She insists. Alan gives in. She leaves. He stands at the
window, looking worried and morose.

Scene 16
Boobie in ER, runs into Tony. They both wonder what the other was doing there.
Some patient of Boobie's asked for her. Tony didn't want to go to bed. He
tells her Frisco is back. Suddenly Mike & Co. burst into the ER. Lucy does her
hysterical act. Luke tells her she did good. Garcia wants to know how they
found Lucy. Luke insists he had a tip and has to keep it confidential. An
orderly asks if anyone knows the man that was brought in. After a pause, Sonny
says "Yes, he's my father."

Scene 17
Frisco tosses and turns on the couch. Felicia shows up. Frisco asks hopefully
if she changed her mind. No, she replies, I just thought I'd bring you a
pillow. She's going to make this difficult, Frisco mutters.

Scene 18
ER. Lucy tells her breathless story. Garcia wants to know why Luke didn't
call him when he got the tip. Luke explains they wanted to see if the tip was
real, and then it all just happened. Garcia says they will probably
cut him some slack because it was Scummy. Luke reminds him some thanks go to
his partner, and that he hopes it settles the score with Donnelly. Boobie
announces Mike's BP was dropping. They rush him out.

Fade to black. Roll credits.
