Robin Flunks her HIV Test :(
============================================================================
Back in PC at Sonny's apartment, Stone and Robin await her test results.  She
claims not to be worried and to mollify Stone she calls Alan for the news; no
news yet.  Later that day, while Stone is upstairs sleeping, Robin answers
the door and finds Alan on the doorstep.  He comes in and gives her the bad
news: her test is positive for HIV.  An angry Robin declares that there must
be a mistake.  Alan gently tries to counsel her but she's far too upset.  She
doesn't know if she can be honest with Stone and tell him the test results.

The Desert Rats are Trapped - Help is on the Way.
============================================================================
Luke and Laura, hot on Lucky's trail seem to be getting along better than ever
[is Lucky's plan working??].  But the parents don't know whether or not to
pursue Lucky's (fake) lead to Pasadena.  Eventually they decide that since
they've got the Quartermaine jet they can zip to Pasadena, nose around, and
be back in a few hours.  On the jet, they talk about how hard it is living
apart.  Laura gets a premonition that something is wrong and they order the
pilot to do a 180 and head back to New Mexico.    Meanwhile, the kids have
camped overnight in the desert.  They spent the morning/afternoon moosing
around and now it's started to rain...hard.   They find a cave for shelter.
Lucky stashes Emily in the cave and runs back to collect their camping gear.
While he's gone, the rain has loosened dirt and rocks and a landslide covers
the cave entrance except for a small opening at the top.  Emily, trapped
inside, starts screaming like a train whistle.  Lucky starts to dig the dirt
and debris off the top of the pile to free her but a large rock tumbles down
from the hill above and hits him a glancing blow to the head.  He falls to the
ground and lies still.  Emily continues to scream from inside the cave.

Pre-Concert Hijinks in Boston -- Young Tom Hatches a Plan
============================================================================
In Philadelphia, Brenda, Lois and Ned discuss May-Mae's concert over break-
fast.  MM is nervous because the audience will contain a large proportion of
her nearest and dearest relatives, including her daughter Isabella [who was
originally known as Idis] and Keesha's parents.  The breakfast reverie is
interrupted by the arrival of Sonny and LeLee.  After exchanging strained
pleasantries they take a table away from the L&B crew. Then Lucy blows in and
tries to tempt Brenda away from her L&B duties by going shopping.  She's got
no takers and leaves but bumps into Damian on the way out the door.  He asks
her to accompany him that day; he wants to surprise her.  Turns out he takes
her to see some art exhibition and Lucy found the sculptures very erotic [I
hope it wasn't the Rodin show because she pronounced the name "RODE-in" --
gack!].

Later that night at the hotel, people start to gather before the concert:
Keesha is trotting Jason out for the family to inspect.  Her dad grills the
kid a bit but Jason holds his own.  Justus and Simone float in and she meets
Justus' mother, Isabella, and his sister, Faith.  Edward arrives with the
Hardys.  Tom is also there eyeing Simone.  Justus introduces Edward to Faith
and Isabella who are very cool toward Edward's overtures of friendship.  They
talk a bit and he's honest with them about his feelings upon discovering he
has a grandson, granddaughter, etc. he never knew.  Faith and Edward talk
by themselves.  She tells him how difficult it was growing up without a
father.  They eventually reach out and make a very tentative connection with
each other.  At their table Steve and Audrey note with dismay how much Tom is
drinking; he appears to already be close to falling-down drunk.  Tom heads
for the men's bathroom.  Damian follows him and sees something ver-r-r-y
interesting indeed.  Remember that Tom doesn't know Damian.  From the men's
room doorway, Damian watches as Tom pours his drink down the drain.  Then he
loosens his tie, unbuttons the first few buttons on his shirt and makes himself
look all messed up.  He pushes past Damian back into the room where he puts on
his drunk act again and stumbles over to Steve and Audrey's table.  Tom
blearily watches the activities at the Ward family table.  Finally, he gets
up and makes his way to Simone, bends around her and kisses her flat on the
mouth!  Justus leaps up and punches Tom in the face, knocking him down.

Miscellaneous Things...
============================================================================
At GH, Steve Hardy is grumping around about Tom's attitude toward the Board's
decision about Dr. Dorman.   He and Audrey eventually pack up and leave for
Philadelphia; they plan to catch MM's concert.  About the Board's decision,
Alan said he agreed with Steve [never too old to be a suck-up to the chief of
staff, huh Alan?].  Bobbie asks Alan if he sided with Steve just to score one
off Tony because of the almost-affair in NYC.  Alan tells her that he sided
with Steve because he believed the Board's decision about Dorman was correct.
Bobbie, looking more 'ho-like that ever, makes that "face" at him [lips
screwed up -- eyes wide].
