Report on the Chess Game
------------------------
Luke calls Monica from Albuquerque and explains the Chicago stop and the
expected/unexpected travels of Lucky and Emily.  Unfortunately Emily and
Lucky aren't at the most expensive hotel in Albuquerque as he and Laura
expected (Luke and Laura are) but in the morning they'll be hot on the
youngsters trail.  Also there is no Cory Gibbons in the phone book.
He'll keep Monica informed.

Cracks in the Wall?
-------------------
Brenda stops by the penthouse to visit Stone.  When Robin tries to explain
"where" Sonny is, Brenda figures out he's with Lily.  Robin lets Brenda
know she understands how Brenda could fall in love with Sonny as Robin has
seen Sonny's big heart.  Robin also thinks she understands why Sonny pushed
Brenda away.  Like Stone, who worries about putting/having put Robin at
risk, Robin thinks Sonny pushed Brenda away to keep her safe.  Upstairs Brenda
admits to Stone that she's going to have a hard time without him.  Stone
gets Brenda to promise to always take care of Robin and as they hug Sonny
returns with some Cherry Garcia ice cream.  With Brenda there he makes himself
scarce downstairs.  Before Brenda leaves Stone has something to say to her.
He knows she and Sonny still love each other.  Stone sees Sonny's friendship
with Lily as one that happened because Sonny and Lily are alike and because
Lily's been there for Sonny when he needed support.  Stone figures neither
Sonny or Brenda wants to make the first move towards each other.  Once Stone
is gone there will be cracks in the wall that Sonny and Brenda have built
between each other.  Stone hopes that Brenda will reach through those cracks
once he is gone.  Stone really wants them together and figures when he's gone
the opportunity will be there.  When Brenda goes to leave she stops to talk to
Sonny but he stops her.  He can't handle what's going on with Stone, let alone
anything else.

Proposals, Threats and Promises
-------------------------------
Mac and Katherine check out Mac's competition for dinner.  With Sonny off
for the night and Luke out of town Mike gives them the royal treatment.
Mac has a proposal for Katherine but not the flower girls and rice kind of
proposal.  He wants to propose romance.  He's not pleased to hear
Katherine can't get away till spring, until after CS Emporium is off the
ground.  Katherine tells Mac about being unable to quit working for Damian
and the threats that Damian once again made.  Mac is ready to confront
Damian but Katherine wants him to back off, she doesn't want him to be her
white knight.

Meanwhile at GH Simone is asking Tom to babysit Tommy for a few days while
she's in Philly for Mary Mae's concert.  But that won't do.  Tom says he's
taking Felicia to Philly.  Simone is surprised to hear that since she had
talked to Felicia in the morning and Filly had said nothing about going to
hear Mary May.  When Simone brings up Tom's reaction to the board's decision
about Dr. Dorman Tom learns that Simone voted with Steve to reprimand Dorman
instead of firing him.  Tom doesn't understand the teach compassion with
compassion concept instead of compassion for the patient and warns that Steve
is in for a rude awakening from the staff of GH.  Simone suggests Tom have
compassion for his father but Tom doesn't since his father hasn't shown Tom
any compassion.

Over at the Outback Felicia offers a sympathetic ear to Lucy and she and Lucy
talk of the weirdness of Kevin and Mac lately.  Kevin for not respecting Lucy
and Mac for seeing something in Katherine.  Lucy figures she fell in love with
a different Kevin.  Felicia chalks it up to something in the water.  Hmmmm.
It's actually a friendly conversation.  Tom shows up and wants to take Filly
of Philly.  He thinks she needs a little fun.  Filly wonders if he isn't
asking her to get be in Simone's face as she has noticed that Tom always
makes sure Felicia is "with Tom" when Simone is around.  Tom claims no.
Filly won't say yes until she talks with Simone.  He points out if she goes
Mac won't be able to leave the Outback to go out with Katherine. (This after
Mac once again asks Felicia to close up.)

Mac and Katherine return from LUKE'S.  When Damian comes in Lucy willingly
follows him to a table.  Damian tries to cheer Lucy by "being" a genie and
soliciting wishes from Lucy since Lucy has done him a kindness.  Meanwhile
Katherine admits she hates Lucy but doesn't wish Damian on her.  When Damian
heads for the mens room Mac tries to talk Lucy away from Damian with reports
of Damian's threats against Katherine.  Lucy isn't buying and when Damian
returns he claims Katherine is just making it up out of jealously and
possessiveness.  Lucy tries to let Damian know she's with not him, well with
him, actually just sitting with him.  Right, sure Lucy.  For the rest of their
time at the Outback Lucy's mind seems to be going...has Mac made an
impression, even a little one?  Damian offers to escort Lucy to her apartment
but she turns him down.  When Damian leaves he passes by Katherine and
tells her she's crossed the line.  After he's gone Katherine speculates that
Damian thinks she has told Mac Damian's secrets.  Mac figures that makes for
as much danger as Mac actually knowing.  Mac decides they need to talk and
about getting Damian out of Katherine's life and escorts her out of the
Outback after asking Felicia to close up.

Perhaps this day that started last Thursday is finally over!!

Till Next Time
