**New Friends**
Brenda and Jax catch up.  Jax, showing off, decides to bring Ireland to
Brenda since he can't or won't take her there (Lois is against the trip).
They play a little truth or consequences to aid them in getting
acquainted.  Jax admits to having been involved with someone special
and it not working out (Jax has been badly hurt, or has he?), and that he
enjoys flirting.  Brenda admits that she is unavailable.  The conversation
turns to Sonny.  Jax shows amazing insight and defines SIDAT (stupid
idiotic disgusting asinine triangle (no Miguel)) in 2 sentences. 1)Sonny is
the dumper. 2)Sonny and Brenda don't know how to let go.  Jax and
Brenda discuss lost causes.  Brenda is another incentive for Jax to hang
around PC.  This makes Brenda uncomfortable, but Jax offers to show
her some fun.  He then invites Nedly and Lois on a double date...Nedly
accepts.

At Luke's, Jax meets Babe and is mightily impressed (Yes, I did notice a
spark there).  Lois and Ned arrive, and Ned overplays his hand (really,
mentioning Jax and the CEOs wife was a bit much).

**Old Friends**
Kevin and Mac (Norma and Eve) escape sauna death (thru the vents)
only to run into April and June (I guess May was busy).  Because they
*are* gentlemen, they run for their lives.  In true slap stick fashion (its
keystone cops meet the 3 stooges), they give the months (April and
June) the slip.  Unfortunately, the months catch up with them and Norma
and Eve are forced to defend themselves.  Reluctantly, they knock them
out, only to be confronted by Damien's hench*man*.  LOD1: How did we
get stuck in a James Bond Movie?  They overcome the villian when Mac
unexpectedly (and improbably) pulls a gun from his decollatage, to
Kevin's chargrin.

Meanwhile, Lucy and Damien chatter.  Lucy fesses up re: her recent
psychic experiences, Damien realizes that Lucy is up to no good.  He
says its too bad, they coulda had something, been good together, but no,
he's on to her and the plan (too bad he just doesn't know about Luke aka
Sam LL Cash).  He laments that now he'll have to add 3 more to his
body count.  LOD2: I don't really want to let Kat off the hook that I
worked so hard to put her on.  This ticks of our Ms. Coe and she begins
to let Damien have it with both barrels.  Just as she's getting on
Damien's last nerve, Luke throws something (that looks suspiciously like
Sam LL Cash) in the window,and waltzes thru the door to save the day.

**Maybe Friends**
Emily walks into Jason's room to exchange pleasantries.  Jason's rude.
Emily is sweet, and *insightful*.  She explains in layman's terms why
everyone is so "clingy" to Jason.  Jason may be memory-challenged, but
everyone else has plenty of memories, including Raul (the dog).  Jason
is rude, but tries to explain is perspective (as opposed to expecting
everyone to read his mind), he doesn't know them or *Jason*.  Emily
tries again to explain the family's perspective, but Jason admits to
resenting the person formally known as Jason (henceforth to be referred
to as "%"), because Jason can no longer measure up.  Emily
recommends patience (on Jason's part) as the family deals with the loss
of %.  He needs to give them time to adjust to the way things are
because LOD3: You don't look like a stranger.  Jason is rude.  Emily
apologizes, and Jason finally shows the milk of human kindness,
dispensing his stamp of approval to Emily and Raul (they're OK).  The
list of approved citizens now totals 4, Ned, Lois, Emily, and Raul.
