Scene 1
Kevin stumbles into the Outback looking for Mac but encounters Felicia only.
Scene 2
Mac sits vigil over Stone while Robin and Stone get some much needed rest.
Stone awakens and tells Mac he knows it will be over soon, but he's not ready
[Sorry to say, but I am].
Scene 3
Lucky chides Luke and Laura about their lack of enthusiasm despite the fact
it's their anniversary. He tries to tell them how he feels and wants them
together again even if they fight.
Scene 4
When Felicia asks Kevin why he's drinking more lately, he rants about Lucy and
Damian and how he called Lucy in Philly only to have Damian answer her phone.
Right on cue, Lucy flounces into the bar to see her "best friend" Felicia. When
she sees Kevin there, she tries to escape, but he prevents her.
Scene 5
Stone asks Robin directly about her HIV test results, and she tells him the
truth that she's HIV+. He is devastated by the news though she tries to paint a
rosier picture saying she's very healthy.  [I think I'd have lied]
Scene 6
Kevin argues with Lucy about her involvement with Damian. When he asks her to
stay for a moment and have a drink, she declines and starts to leave until she
sees Tom Hardy arrive and chat with Felicia.
Scene 7
At the bar, Lucy shushes Kevin so she can eavesdrop on Tom as he tells Felicia
his sad story about Philly and how he made an ass of himself there.
Scene 8
Laura tells Luke she loved being with him all week and gives him a poignant
little speech about how she feels safe in his arms and how she wants him to
come home. "For how long?" he replies.
Scene 9
Mac visits Sonny and tells him about Robin's being HIV+. Sonny is agonized over
the news. The two bond oddly over their common grief.  Robin enters and
embraces Sonny.

Tom's tale to Felicia. At one point, she even interrupts them to scold Tom.
Scene 11
Luke points out to Laura that they still have a basic disagreement over what is
dangerous for the kids, his being there or not.  He insists that she be
absolutely sure of her decision about him before he returns. She tells him she
now agrees with him, except, of course, about Sonny.
Scene 12
Lucy publicly chides Tom for lying about being drunk saying a friend saw him
pour out his drink and mess up his hair in the washroom.  When he asks who the
friend was, Lucy reluctantly admits it was Damian; at which point, a frustrated
Kevin storms out. Felicia strongly advises "best friend" Lucy to listen to
Kevin if she cares about him, and besides, she believes Tom over Damian any
day.
Scene 13
Mac tells Stone he (Mac) was wrong to blame him about Robin, and he wants Stone
to give himself and Robin a break and to not let the virus be all that's left.

Robin asks Sonny to tell Brenda and Luke about her HIV+ status.
Scene 15
