General Hospital Update
Tues Nov 07, '95

Its Official! Luke and Laura are much greater than the sum of their parts.

The board has decided to discipline and not fire Doc Practical. Tom is
furious. Tony is glum. He gets home where Bobi offers her support and
condolence on losing the good fight. When she offers to make him a sandwhich,
Tony tells her that he is giving up on all his fights, including the
marriage. Bobi is stunned and bewildered. After all, it was Tony who insisted
they keep on going and trying. Tony says; yeah, well, maybe he was just wrong
and tilting at windmills about everything in his life.

Robin comes down from putting Stone to sleep. Prince tells her that he and
Stone were up all night playing 'remeber when' because Stone is worried about
losing his memory. Prince then tells her that he won't be going to Phily.
Robin says that if he doesn't go Stone will feel even worse. Prince buys her
argument and will go. Lily comes by with some food for Stone. Robin brings it
to Stone. Price onloads some morose thoughts on her about not knowing when
the last day is etc. and Lily gives Prince a pep talk.

Lois is worried that she left something out in the preparations for the Phily
concert and is letting off her anxieties with Weasl. Weasl tries to pump her
up. Lila and EdQ come in. They have no real news about the search for Emily.
They do report that Monica is crushed and feels that she has failed Emily and
Paige. Lila has some old pictures of Weasl as a young boy. Lois is appalled
that Weasl was sent to a foreign boarding school when six. The females go to
the attic to look at more pics. EdQ takes the oppurtunity to badger Weasl
about going to Tokyo. When Lois and Weasl trade places, EdQ tries to get Lois
to go to Tokyo via a tour featuring MayMae and others. Lois rebuffs him.

Laura is rummaging thru the bag looking for a bone for Foster. She finds all
sorts of stuff as Luke looks on, holding some of the items. After finding
finding part of the kithcen sink she gets the bone for Foster. She tells Luke
she is worried about whether they are doing the correct thing. Luke insists
that Lucky will follow Rule#7 -'shortest way between 2 points' and go to
New Mexico via plane. As for taking detours, Lucky wouldn't do that since it
might require bringing in the cops and upsetting his plans of having L&L look
for him together. Laura says fine. Luke then demurs and says they might be
making a big mistake. What mistake? Laura wants to know. Luke ponders that
the clue Lucky left was too obvious. Laura vents that she said that and Lucky
might be in the back of a train going who-knows-where and other hypothesis.
She stops suddenly and states she needs an aspirin. She goes rummaging again.
Luke says she misunderstood his point. Lucky wants the chase to last as long
as possible, not making it too hard or too easy. Laura continues rummaging.
Luke says remember Rule#1- 'never do the obvious'. Laura grabs his arm and
snaps at him and says get to the point. Luke feels that Lucky got off Chicago
when the plane laid over and left a clue there. Laura starts rubbing her
temples, Luke tells the captain of the change of plans.
In Chicago they get to a clerk and ask about the kids. He doesn't remember
them. They ask to look at the manifests. When he refuses, Laura (who still
hasn't gotten aspirin) puts on the pressure by telling the clerk she will
make a scene and start nagging him, which she does quite literally. The clerk
gives in, but the kids aren't on any of the manifests. L&L realize that Lucky
took Rule#6 -'rules are meant to be broken'. Laura says with great mannerism,
'I never liked that rule Luke.' They figure the kids went to Alberquque.

Back on the plane, Luke asks if Laura is frightened that she was has gotten
back in the groove so easily. They talk about how it is a little bit like old
times. Except this time they are chasing and doing it it style. Luke says he
will thank Lucky for going off with a moneyed girl. Luke asks if Laura could
get used to this. She says no, she wants her nice little home and family.
Luke asks what is included in 'family'. She says Lucky. Leslu and of course,
Foster. He asks 'anyone else?' She says Amy, Lucas, Tony, Ruby and ehh, Bobi
- maybe. They chuckle together.

The kids are on a plane about to land in Alberquque. Emily is going up a
tree and is very worried that there will be a posse waiting for them. Lucky
tells her to relax and explains his reasonings. He assures her that he is a
couple of steps ahead of his parents. (his term for Rule#1 is always do the
unexpected.) She is still worried and is wondering where they will be
staying. He tells her at a cheap motel since,
                        L I N E   O F   T H E   D A Y
       "We've got our parents thinking we are going to do the expected,
        which is actually the unexpected"   staying at an expensive hotel
again. Emily cathes on that they will be doing the expected.

Boris and Natasha are in an airplane chasing the Energizer Bunny all over
town. Boris has a magnetic gun to pull the battery right out and shoots for
the Bunny from a rooftop. Unfortunately, EB turns down a side street and
Boris and Natasha go flying thru the air thru a water pipe and shoot up to
connect to a helicopter. To add to their trouble, the battery in the gun
loses power and they fall off.
