Lucy bounces all over Kevin's bedroom, exited about her "coffee" investment
and all the research she has done into coffee.   However, Kevin, who is
packing, doesn't share her enthusiasm.  He'd rather have tea.  And when Lucy
tries to help him with his packing everything Lucy offers to do for Kevin is
wrong.  All Lucy wants to do is to reach an understanding with Kevin before
he leaves for NY.  However Kevin doesn't feel any better.  Then Lucy tries
to look at Kevin's trip as a chance for them to put into practice Kevin's
interdependence/independent theory but Kevin claims not to recall that
thought.  Lucy is near tears as Kevin is walking out the door, but Kevin
stops, drops his bags, turns around and gives Lucy a big hug and a kiss.
A Kevinless Lucy arrives at LUKE'S and wants some backroom action but since
both Luke and Sonny are away from the club, Mike has to inform Lucy the room
is closed.  Mike can tell something is wrong and figures out it's the good
doctor.  Lucy unloads that she thinks Kevin is threatened by her.  The
conversation turns to coffee futures and Mike is intrigued by the possibility
of earning a quick buck.  Lucy offers him her broker's card since Lucy
knows her broker's number by heart.

Venting Anger
-------------
Stone is attempting to read "Huck Finn" with the colored sheet when Robin
arrives with new, supercharged vitamins for Stone.  However, it's one of
Stone's bad days and he is feeling sorry for himself.  Finally Robin vents
her anger toward Stone, for always thinking of himself and not of her. But
the words are barely out of her mouth before Robin is apologizing.  She
doesn't want to waste any of the time they have in anger.  Stone tries to
remind her she still has a life, and reminds Robin that she is due to head
off to Yale next month.  Robin tries to switch the subject to their lack
of lovemaking but Stone turns the subject back to Yale.  Robin isn't
worried about that, only spending all her time with Stone.  Later when
Robin heads down through the club she talks with Lucy.  Only after Robin
mentions Stone is on AZT when Lucy innocently asks how Stone is, does Lucy
finally find out Stone has AIDS.

Betrayal?
---------
Lily visits Sonny and warns him about hearing Ned, Lois and Mac talking
about Brenda wearing a wire to get the goods on Sonny for the DA and the
Justice Dept.  Sonny doesn't believe her and figures Lily is just trying
to cause trouble for Brenda, after all the trouble Lily has had with
Miguel.  Lily tries to get him to believe her, that "they" know Sonny has
other interests and warns Sonny to protect himself.  Sonny is actually
angry with Lily!!! and thinks she is dead wrong.  BUT, yes, there is always
that but.  Sonny goes to Mike, yes Sonny goes to Mike, to try to find out
what Mike meant when he asked Sonny about Sonny confiding in the wrong person
about his business.  Mike points out all he was saying is that Brenda should
be the one Sonny should be confiding in.   When Sonny tries to find out if
Mike "knows" anything, Mike claims no, but he has his opinions but no proof,
no one has any proof.  Mike does warn Sonny that he is making a mistake by
shutting Brenda out of part of his life...and yet letting Lily in.  All Brenda
wants is to be "in" all of Sonny's life.  Once Sonny is done with Mike he
heads off to see Laura to pick her brain.  He wants to know if she has said
anything to anyome about his business.  No says Laura, "I'm not a snitch."
She and Luke have never talked about Sonny's business outside of L&B and the
club, but she does have her suspicions.  Sonny even asks if she and Brenda
have ever discussed the subject but, no Laura tries to stay away from violent
subjects to keep her children safe.  Laura doesn't even want to get into what
is Sonny's motivation with his questions to her.  Sonny does learn that Mac
did stop by and asked her about Sonny's business but that Laura stonewalled
Mac.  Sonny repeatedly expresses his apologies for being any part of tearing
Luke and Laura apart.  Laura tries to convince Sonny, that even if Sonny/
Scully hadn't happened something else dangerous would have happened.  Luke
came between Luke and Laura.   Meanwhile Lily returns to Kelly's where Ruby
sees Lily is upset but figures incorrectly that it's about Miguel.  When Ruby
learns it's about Sonny, she expresses her feelings about him.  The only
reason she lets him darken her door is because of Luke and because Ruby has a
soft spot for Brenda and that Brenda is good for Sonny.  Lily however is
concerned and despite Ruby's distrust of men like Sonny.  Lily thinks Sonny is
vulnerable and could be hurt.

For Tommy's Sake
----------------
When Simone comes into the brownstone she and Bobbie hash over the "Scandal"
and Tom's role in it.  With Tom's name in the conversation, Bobbie asks
Simone what Simone feels about Tom moving into Scott's apartment.  Simone
wonders about Tony, so Bobbie explains about sending Luke to Ruby's and tony
taking the spare room.  Simone isn't exactly adverse to having Tom where he
can deal with Tommy.  Even the thought of Tom running into Justus on the
stairs appeals to her.  So, with Simone spelling out the conditions and Tom
to be warned he's not getting back in *her* life, if Bobbie and Tony work out
Tony moving into the spare bedroom, it's ok with Simone for Tom to take
Scott's apartment.
