ARE LUKE & LAURA THROUGH?
*yawn*.  Same old same old.

YES, BUT CAN SHE SET A VCR?
Mac sets up the tub with candles and champagne and Tigress bubblebath, while
Katherine and Damian discuss Carla's new House.  Katherine is distracted,
hardly surprising, and her first excuse is she has so many dishes to
wash, she's not feeling amorous, goodnight, Damian.  He volunteers to
dry.  She says no, she's just tired, she'll tape the news and celebrate
with Damian in the morning.  Damian hears the water running in the bathtub.
Katybelle quickly picks up a dirty dish and says "you put this in the
tub, I'll take care of the dishwasher."  Then she straightens it out and
Damian takes the dish to the kitchen and K goes into the bathroom.  She
turns off the water and shushes Mac, and slides out just in time to waylay
Damian, whom she finally gets rid of.  She locks the door, a first, and
wedges a chair under the knob, and forgets to set the VCR before heading
off to a long langourous interlude with Mac.
Eve was good for you, she tells Mac.  They discuss bubble baths.  He
informs her he's not a virgin, and she says oh, the Dudley DoRight facade
is just an act.  Katybelle's competitive streak is roused, and she
intends to make this bubblebath his best ever.  Afterwards (checking the
door) she makes a snack and Mac says not in bed, this leaves crumbs
and that's how the rhinocerous got his skin.  KatyBelle has never heard
the Just-So Stories, oh Best Beloved.  [I got them out and read them to
my adult kids and husband a couple of years ago (again.  These kids
missed the first time when their older sibs were small) and we all
loved the experience.]  With her 'Satiable Curiousity, she should
hear them, and Mac tells her about the rhino.  Then he tells about killing
his parents and other dark deeds of his past, proving he trusts her with
his vulnerabilities.

ADULTERY, JAIL, FAMILY FEUDING, WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
AJ is confused to be arrested, the top of the house is full of scantily-
clad femmes, and Carla has turned on him and tipped Officer Johnson to the
information that AJ approved the whorehouse.  [Don't get the wrong idea,
I have done temp work!]  AJ suspects a setup.  Dear Officer Johnson (who
seems to be in charge, what a thrill!) says to tell it to the judge.

At the Q's, Alan walks in and Monica asks where he's been, seeing
Bobbie?  No, he's been trying to get the doctor he was supposed to
interview in New York to come to PC to be interviewed.  Treat him to a
lavish Quartermaine dinner, that's what I say!  Monica is trying to make
peace.  In burst Raoul, Emily, Lois, Ned with cold linguica.  Alan
apologizes to Lois for the quarrel and she says "you're talking to the
woman who jumped out of a cake in front of your entire family."  Monica
also apologizes.  They sit over pasta, Gloria's infallible cure for
family disputes, despite fear of Cook.  [I'm glad we never SEE Cook.  No
mere human could come up to the fearsome creature my imagination conjures
up!]  They discuss Emily.  Maybe if Gloria had run the Quartermaine
family they would get along better.  Lois, from her vast experience,
gives the marriage advice: "never go to bed mad."

Edward and Lila come in for the news, and there, in all his pantless
glory, is AJ, with lip-smacking commentary from Veronica.  Edward,
surprise, surprise, blows up.  "I'll disown him."  Lila: "YOU'LL DO
NOTHING OF THE KIND!" (a good day for my FGCs, except for Sigmund and the
houseplants!)  Monica comes up with the line of the day: "How many times
have YOU been caught with YOUR pants down?"  Emily runs off.  Oops.

Nasty Ned goes to bail AJ out, and Justus is already there, since he saw
it at GramMae's.  (Keesha was teasing him with his faults that she must
make sure Simone knows: "you snore, you put the toilet roll on backwards,
your sneakers smell, and you hum when you're bored.")  Ned is in full
Nasty Ned mode.  Nyaah nyaah on AJ.  He's won this one.  (and he makes me
want to join Sonny in giving him a good poke in the face.)
