JasonBorg = NOT Brother-of-the-Year or He's Not Heavy; He's A Drunk
===========================================================================
Robin runs into Jason on the docks; she's going to have breakfast at Kelly's
and he joins her.  As they walk to the cafe, they pass a drunkard sleeping
it off on top of some crates.  It's A.J.!!  Robin is upset and tries to
rouse the sleeping drunk; Jason advises her to let him sleep it off, but
Robin is worried that he'll freeze to death or something.  She finally
persuades Borg to help her and the kid Tosses A.J. over his shoulder and
carts him off to a car [wow, Steve Burton must be strong as a little Ox!].
They drive A.J. around so he can sober up a bit and Jason tells him he's
going to take A.J. to Ned's so he can sober up completely.  A.J. rambles on
in drunk-talk about how much he loves Jason and about how sorry he is, etc.
Then he tells Jason that it wasn't Ned who was driving on that fateful
night...it was A.J.!  Robin, sitting in the back seat, gets wide-eyed at
this bit of news.  Jason slams on the brakes and stops the car in the
middle of the road!

Bobbie Finds A Direction
===========================================================================
Before work, at the Brownstone, Tony asks Bobbie how she's doing, etc.
Bobbie is cheerful and more "at peace with herself"; she tells Tony that
she didn't have any bad dreams the previous night and she doesn't think
she'll have them any more.  She's mysterious, though, and says she has
an appointment and will meet him at Luke's later on.  He's not happy with
her secrecy but has no choice.  She goes to an agency that finds children
who had been given up for adoption.  In a shocker, she tells the woman that
she needs to find her daughter! We learn that at 16 years of age, Bobbie
gave birth to a baby girl while living in Florida.  The baby was given up
for adoption and now Bobbie wants to find her just to make sure she's okay.
The woman doing the search gets all the information Bobbie can give her then
asks if there is anyone else who can fill in the gaps [Ruby].  Bobbie makes
a face and says there is nobody else.  The first search for her daughter is
a failure and the woman phones Bobbie at Luke's Club to tell her the bad
news.

Trouble on the Horizon for Port Charles' Odd Couple?
===========================================================================
Mac prepared to accompany Katherine to Damian's funeral but she insisted
that she wanted to attend it alone.  Reluctantly he let her go and went to
Luke's Club but he couldn't stand not being with her so he went to the
funeral home and slipped into the back of the room where D's service was
being held.  There he heard Katherine talking to Damian's casket, spilling
her guts about their relationship and about how if he had only shown her
he was in love with her that things might have worked out differently...etc.
Mac slipped out without Katherine knowing he was there and went back to
Luke's; she joined him soon thereafter and he didn't let on that he'd heard
her.

Damian's "Wake": So Long, Sucker!
===========================================================================
All the "suspects" wandered into Luke's Club and staged an impromptu wake
for the late, lamented Satan-Boy Smith.  Eventually, the crowd included
Mike, Luke, Laura, Doc Tony, Bobbie, Kevin, Lucy, Mac, Katherine, Lily, and
Sonny.  Garcia wandered in [end of the show] and told the stunned crowd of
merry-makers that Damian's death was NOT caused by the fire...it was murder!

Dumb and Dumber
===========================================================================
Tom and Felicia had another "fantasy" date; this time it was a takeoff on
Mr Peabody and the Mermaid [watch out for that evil sea cucumber, Filly!].
[For all the Tom and Felicia fans who demand an in-depth update on their
favorite couple, sorry but I can't keep my finger off the FF button
during these "dream" dates.  It's part of the "Miguel Syndrome" I guess]
However, I will say, this one went as well as the others, since when Tom gave
Felicia some "sea greens," they were really avacados, and Felicia turned out
to be allergic to them. She had to rush off, so there was no friggin' in the
riggin' this week.
