                            By John R. Andrews, UIC

Scene 1
Sonny tells Robin that Stone hasn't shown up for work.  Later, he tells Brenda
that because of Joe's people, it would be best if she was off the premises for
a while.
Scene 2
Robin and Mac try to figure out where Stone might have gone.
Scene 3
Laura and Luke entwine intimately and discuss their problems.  She begs him to
get them out of the whole situation. Later, after breakfast, Lucky, Luke, and,
she play the happy nuclear family unit.
Scene 4
Sonny tries to soothe Brenda's ruffled feathers over asking her to move out,
but she refuses to go, and eventually, he gives in.
Scene 5
Robin calls around looking for Stone to no avail. Mac tries to reassure her and
be optimistic. Just as she's somewhat calmed down, Felicia shows up and blurts
out, "What's going on with Stone?"
Scene 6
The Q's gather to discuss the problems with Deception. Lucy and Katherine show
up and immediately start bickering.
Scene 7
While Laura vacuums, Luke confers with Sonny on the phone.  Harry pops into
Luke's Club to tell Sonny the backups are in [and I don't mean tape drives],
and Joe's people will know.
Scene 8
Robin says she's going to personally search for Stone all over PC.  Mac says
he'll call Garcia just to have them watch for him too.  Felicia tells Mac that
Frisco wants to come back.
Scene 9
Lucy "explains" about the drugs and Joe Scully. She claims the drugs were never
in the Deception truck. After a few catty exchanges with Lucy, Katy Bell moves
that Lucy be replaced as head of Deception, but no one would second the motion
so it dies a humiliating death, and Kate leaves in a huff.
Scene 10
Sonny tells Damian that the proverbial fan is about to be fecally impacted, so
he should keep a low profile. Damian asks if Sonny is in control, and Sonny
replies yes, but he may have to demonstrate credibility in the usual manner.
Harry reports that predictably Joe's people refuse to meet.
Scene 11
Monica and Bobbie prepare to fly back to get Paige's and Emily's stuff.
Scene 12
Robin goes to visit Brenda, but is stopped by two guys guarding the door.
Eventually, they let her in.
Scene 13
Katherine spits venom at the Outback over Lucy's ability to slither out of her
problems. Mac-the-Tripe tells her that the Q's will always side with Lucy over
her.
Scene 14
Robin kvetches intensely to Brenda over Stone. Brenda counsels her to wash her
hair and calm down. [And people pay Kevin big money]
Scene 15
Sonny comes to Luke's house and tells him that trouble is very close.  While
they talk, Lucky is caught eavesdropping. When questioned, he shows a good
grasp of the situation. Luke wants Lucky to take his mother and the baby to
Ruby's for the night.
Scene 16
When Stone resurfaces outside Sonny's, Robin intercepts him and begs for an
explanation, but he yells at her to go away.
Scene 17
In an interesting and effective montage scene, as Laura sings a lullaby
hypnotically to Laura-Lou, Joe's people strike at Sonny and Luke.  Outside
Sonny's place, Stone quickly pushes Robin down behind a car and covers her as
gunfire erupts around them.  After taking out the guards, the assailants make
their way inside where Brenda is showering. Hearing a suspicious noise, Brenda
takes evasive action just as the hit men spray the shower stall with bullets.
Back at Luke's house, everyone hits the floor as hot lead peppers the room.
Suddenly, a bomb blast rips through the front of the house.  [Despite being
similar to scenes in half a dozen mobster movies, I thought this worked pretty
well, especially having Laura's singing instead of gun fire sounds. The
overlapping frames were a bit murky at times, however]
