It Doesn't Matter
-----------------
Laura is disturbed to hear Lucky had made plans to eat dinner at LUKE'S
without informing her.  She is even more dismayed to hear that the dinner
is an "intimate" birthday dinner party for Ruby.  Seems neither Luke nor
Lucky thought Laura would be interested since it was to be at the club.
Now that he hears his mom is interested Lucky thinks maybe she's changed
her mind about the club, but no, Laura hasn't changed her mind.  She calls
Luke and asks about her "invitation being lost in the mail" so Luke just
says she can come with a "More the merrier" quip.  As Lucky heads out to
the club, Tony arrives, he's her ride.  It's a good thing Laura found out
about the dinner party or else she wouldn't have known what Tony was talking
about.  She accepts his offer and then asks the whereabouts of Bobbie.  Oops,
that means Laura hasn't heard about the NY hornets nest.  Without going into
all the gory details Tony tells Laura about finding Bobbie in Alan's hotel
room in her "dainties."  Laura is floored.  When Tony talks about keeping
calm about it this time Laura asks with the LOD, "What about next time?" but
immediately apologizes.  Meanwhile over at the club Mike has given Ruby a
present from one of the local lingerie shops.  He almost gets a rise out of
her.  Bobbie informs Ruby about the NY fiasco so that Ruby is prepared should
Tony be weird.  In comes Lucky.  He's warned away from the women talk and
takes the opportunity to question Luke about how to approach Bobbie since he
knows and she knows he knows and feels weird just thinking about it.  Luke's
advice is to treat her like Lucky has always treated her. [Hmmm, Lucky can we
interest you in the SLAP Brigade?]  Sonny and Lily arrive.  Sonny has an
advance copy of THE video for Ruby but it seems both Miguel and Brenda already
have given her copies.  Lucky grabs the video.  They all stop talking as Laura
and Tony arrive.  Sonny's surprised Laura is there.  Lily learns Laura has a
problem with Sonny as Luke's partner and Lily thinks it's a shame Laura has
to blame someone for her problem.  [Hmmm, me thinks Lily is more her father's
daughter than she claims to be.]  As the Spencers and family celebrate Ruby's
birthday Lucky comments how nice it is to have everyone together and that even
his dad is happy.  Luke's mutters "It doesn't matter."  Ruby tells everyone
her wish, that in another year her family will have gotten its act together.
That spurs Laura to pull Luke aside.  She wants to know what Luke meant by
"It doesn't matter." Luke is willing to talk but only after Ruby is gone.

Lobster, Again?!?!?!?
---------------------
Filly is dismayed that Mac is taking lobster and a bottle of their good stuff
for a dinner with KatyBell to celebrate KatyB's split with Damian.  Filly
can't believe Katy was able to break away from Damian so fast and easily
and is further dismayed to hear KatyBell is keeping her business relationship
with Damian until the projects they are involved with are concluded.  Filly
obviously doesn't trust KatyBell so Mac counters that since he does want to
trust Katybell it's better that he find out sooner or later.  As Mac walks
out in comes Tom.  Tom dumps on Felicia about Simone's news and how Tom took
out his frustration on Steve.  Felicia calls Tom on not seeing and not
acknowledging what was happening between Justus and Simone.  Tom asserts he's
going to be better prepared for his upcoming battles.  Later a customer
requests one of Mac's exotic drinks.  That means Filly has to get on a stool
to reach the Russian liquor for the drink.  Tom "catches" her as she almost
falls.  Together they make the drink and Filly pronounces it perfect.
Meanwhile over at KatyBell's Damian is being contrite for having ignored his
"fair" lady.  He even is noticing her "glow" and thinks it's business related.
KatyBell manages to get him to leave by claiming she's having dinner with a
print reporter to discuss an article on Dayco and that she needs to prepare.
Damian reluctantly leaves.  Mac arrives with the lobster to find KatyBell
dressed to the nines.  Mac is all happy she split from Damian but KatyBell
has a nervousness and jumpiness that Mac picks up on.  KatyBell is none too
pleased to learn that among Mac's friends who know about their budding
relationship is Lucy.  Sparing the detail of the meal, hmm, they managed to
not show so much eating this time, Katy and Mac discuss their ideas about
money.  Mac and Katybell eventually decide to move to her tub and Katy sends
Mac off with the wine and the glasses to draw the water while she cleans up.
There's a key in the door.  In comes Damian.  He was feeling lonely and cold
in his hotel room so to warm up and for some company he's back to see
KatyBell....

Leaving Business Behind
-----------------------
Jason gets Lila's go ahead for the party for Robin.  She suggests AJ help but
AJ has a hot date with Carla Guthrie.  When he arrives, Carla gives him the
grand tour.  Following the tour she offers him wine but AJ declines in favor
of juice.  As they sip it, Carla leans over to kiss AJ and spills her wine
on AJ's pants.  Carla insists on washing them immediately.  AJ is left in
his shorts.  When Carla returns from putting AJ pants in the washer she
has changed into something "a little more comfortable."  They talk of a
"merger" and just as things heat up, the PCPD with Officer Rick burst in.
They are looking for Carla Guthrie.  They have a search warrant and
information that she's operating a house of prostitution on the premises.
