S/HE TORE OUT MY HEART AND STOMPED THAT SUCKER FLAT (apologies to Lewis
Grizzard, R.I.P.)
Sigmund is quacking because the doorbell is about to ring.  Lucy picks
him up, calling him "my little guard sentry duck" and answers the door.
It's Kevin.  Rika has already done the transcription, thank goodness.
Kevin wants to come in.  Lucy tells him, tearfully, "you were the one
person I trusted to treat me like an adult."  Kevin: "...I can tell you
I've never been so miserable in my life.  I'm a walking cliche.  I can't
eat, I can't sleep, I'm gagging on my cappuchinos. . . I was stupid, I was
wrong, and you know how much I hate that combination.  I'm sorry, Lucy."
They can't figure out how to resolve it.  Sigmund starts up quacking
again and Kevin tells him to shut up.  Lucy puts the duck away, but she's
annoyed, and Kevin says that's something else he has to do penance for.
The phone rings.  It's Damian asking Lucy to lunch, and she accepts.
Kevin remarks: "Damian.  The one person who has shown you less respect
than any human being in your entire life."  Lucy looks at him and says
"You don't get to comment any more, Doc.  Bye."

When next we see her, Lucy is at the Outback in total disbelief that Mac
and KatyBelle are back together.  "I'm speechless."  "Refreshing"
ripostes Mac.  As Damian comes in, Mac states that Lucy is the pot
calling the kettle black.  Damian flirts with Lucy, reminding her of his
interest in her as far back as the Nurses' Ball.  He orders smoked salmon
and red caviar.  He is in a tunnel of despair and needs some of her light
to guide him through.  (Seems to me his icky green aura could do it!)  He
wants to enjoy his life again.  She decides he is too serious and starts
to leave, but he asks her to stay.  Lucy says "You have no idea how
scared of you I am."  Damian claims to be afraid of Lucy, too.  She has,
he says, power to hurt him.

Meanwhile, Kevin goes to LUKE'S.  He is disappointed to find only Mike
there.  "Would you believe I was actually going to ask [Luke] for advice,
that's how bad it's gotten."  Mike helps: "You're in luck.  He's not here."
Mike sets up the cranberry juice and plays barkeep.  Kevin asks:" Have
you ever had a period in your life when nothing you do seems quite right?"
"Are you kidding?" Mike asks.  "That IS my life!"  Kevin desires
*structure*, he doesn't like this "phase." Mike says it's voodoo, a spell
women put on men.  His own Standard Operating Procedure is to hop the
next freight and get out of Dodge.  However, Kevin doesn't seem the baked
beans ("Baked BEANS?", interrupts the Doc) type.  Kevin leaves, asking
Mike to forget he was ever there.

Lucy and Damian finish lunch.  As Damian leaves, Katherine comes into the
Outback.  Damian blocks her way, telling her he gets angrier every
moment, and she's made a big mistake.  Katherine tells Mac she doesn't
think she's safe.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN (No apologies to Willie Nelson.)
On the bus to Boston, Emily has been dozing on Lucky's shoulder, and when
she wakes up they have just passed Newton and should be in Boston in
about 20 minutes.  Meanwhile, Luke is fretting, the kid has been acting
oddly.  Laura is reading and re-reading the note Lucky left and musing at
Foster, who is telling her all, but she doesn't speak Mastiff.  Somehow
she just doesn't picture Lucky, of all people, on a cleanup crew.  The
phone rings, and it's Luke, sharing his suspicions.  They agree to meet
for dinner and see if Lucky will open up.

Lucky figures Luke and Laura won't track them to a great hotel, but he's
built in enough slack that they will catch up eventually.  Emily reacts:
"Phony names and fake credit cards.  This is really weird."  Lucky runs
through their fake identities and the story, and since "mom" is supposed
to be a concert pianist, Emily thinks they should research Brahms' Piano
Conderto #1.  "So", Emily ponders, "We're going to the best hotel judging
by room service. Interesting how important decisions get made."

At the Quartermaine's, Lila wonders where Emily is.  Monica sends
Reginald to wake her up.  Meanwhile, he gives her another mysterious
package.  It's a pendant from her secret admirer, with poetry by Thomas
Hardy.  Could it be...? Naaaah.  Reginald returns with Emily's note.
Monica regards the note as a positive sign.

Laura, still pondering Lucky's note, which she doesn't regard as a sign
of anything but weirdness, checks the closet for the emergency backpack.
It's missing.  She calls Luke.  Calls the school.  And calls Sly.  Sly
knows nothing, except that Emily is with Lucky.  Luke and Laura head off
to the Quartermaines, and Monica is in shock at the news.

Lucky and Emily check in.  The clerk is dubious till they start in on
Brahms, which he loves.  Lucky keeps talking fast, so fast that when he
gets to his fake report card Emily kicks him.  In the suite, Emily says:
"I am so lucky you're helping me."  "No, I'm Lucky, you're Emily."  They
check the room service menu and Emily is shocked at the prices.  Lucky
has her call, and she successfully negotiates the order, only muffing her
name a little. They plan to hit the bureau of motor vehicles, and the
colleges.
