Well, I was off-line for a day till I got an alternate Netcom number (they
"maintained" us right off the map!) and it's 100 degrees in the shade, and
no shade, AND that rumored personal life actually kicked in, so the update
is a little late.  So, without further ado, I reluctantly bring you:

THURSDAY:
THE PORT CHARLES FOUNDATION:
Justus comes in with Simone, AJ, Jason, Keisha, and MaryMae are already
there.  "Everything under control!  Famous last words!!" Justus
explodes.  Was it Tom?  Simone defends Tom.  Neither Rev. Phillips or
Orville Leeds can come, and Ned is in Schenectady, "he's always away in a
crisis!" bemoans Edward, coming in from the library.  "Oh, so you admit
this is a crisis, Edward!" fumes Justus.
        Lee says it looks personal and the group noses around Katherine,
but have been drinking too much of the toxic PC water, the same water
that gives Miguel such a saintly aura, and say it couldn't possibly be her.
Excuse me?  The Q's can say this after the blackmail and after she vowed
revenge?  No no, she's just looking for a job and some respectability.
This is a PR disaster and KatyBell does PR, sheer coincidence.
        MaryMae doesn't care who caused it, it has made her family look
bad, and she orders Edward to fix it.  The first thing, of course, is to
have AJ resign.  He says he will, but he's being a scapegoat, he had checked
everything (ethics being a foreign concept to Qs) and he isn't stupid.
Jason stands and announces if AJ goes, he goes.  MaryMae and Simone and
Keisha also take the blame for allowing the paperwork through.  Then
Justus agrees that he, too, was at fault for not checking more
carefully.  Edward explodes: "Oh, for heaven's sake, we can't have
EVERYONE resign!  We'd look like idiots!"  Lee hides a grin.  They are
off to do damage control.
        In the Q sitting room AJ thanks Jason for coming to his defense,
but it soon turns into a good son-bad son argument.

THE JUDAS PLOT
Sonny and Lily discuss the possibility that Brenda could be so
dishonorable.  Lily, stars in her eyes, says "you would never do that to
someone who loved you."   "Sonny, I've hurt you and I'm sorry."
"Not YOU!" he says, close to tears.  Meanwhile Mac is making sure
Brenda is sure she wants to do this.  She's doing this to keep control.
        At the club Brenda comes in and asks if Sonny is glad to see
her.  Upstairs she rather clumsily asks a few questions, he dodges them,
he "accidently" dumps her purse, they lie back and forth, she decides
"not tonight" and stashes the recorder (for this, she wears business
clothes she hasn't been in for weeks.) in a drawer when Sonny
has gone to the bathroom.  He checks her jacket when she goes to brush
her teeth.  They continue to lie about why they are doing these things,
till he says "I know" and she says "I know" and they go to bed.  There's
a tear in Sonny's eye and Brenda looks poleaxed.
[excuse me a moment]
I HATE THIS I HATE THIS I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE HATE HATE IT.
[OK, I'm back.]

THE Ls CONTINUE TO STAY APART
Foster barks.  It's Luke and Lucky.  Lucky is really psyched about the
camping trip.  This two weeks the actor appears to have done his own
SORAS, he apparently grew two inches and his voice dropped two octaves.
[My son went to Washington DC for a week after eighth grade and the same
thing happened.  The gummint traded him in for a young man.]  He sees
that this might be the chance for the big reconciliation and heads
upstairs.  Laura tells Luke Sonny came by, and Mac came by.  Somehow,
Luke attracts trouble.  She says "there's no point in fighting when
everything is hopeless" and he begs her to fight.  They are yelling at
each other and Lucky comes down and lays down the law.  Lulu sleeps
peacefully on.  Luke goes up and Lucky begs his mom "Dad NEEDS us even
more than we need him."  But even though she knows she is probably
sentencing Luke to a live ever more on the edge, she doesn't want Lucky
joining him one day.  Luke goes back to the club and talks to Mike.

Come to Port Charles, drink the water, get stupid and depressed.
