 "THERE IS A GOD, EDWARD. THAT'S THE PROBLEM." (Justus) Justus is
sitting in the courtroom, where he has evidently spent the night. Edward
comes in to try to force some good old Quartermaine common sense into
the lad, and Justus just won't hear of it. Edward says that Damian
deserved to die, and they get in a philosophical discussion about
whether or not the corruption of Justus' soul by this lie has meant that
Damian has won the game after all.

"A LITTLE LESS CAFFEINE AND A LITTLE LESS FANTASY." (Ruby) Bobbie and
Lucy are at Kelly's, and Lucy's in a shiny ducky yellow dress. I don't
believe there is a color in existence that Lucy cannot wear. They
discuss the nurse's ball, and Lucy presses her for a commitment on what
the Jones family act will be performing, and Bobbie says they've decided
to do "Together Wherever We Go." Later on, Bobbie comes in and Carly is
taking money out of the cash register. Carly explains that Ruby is such
a generous woman and that she's leaving an IOU. After she leaves, Bobbie
tells Ruby that she's nice to help Carly and give her a loan, and Ruby
knows nothing about it. Carly overhears. Meanwhile, Lucy is outside
selling T-shirts and raffle tickets for the Nurse's Ball, and Ruby and
Bobbie discuss the possibility of Laura going to prison and what Luke
will do if she is found guilty. As voices rise outside, they go out to
see what is going on, and it's Kath & Lucy at it again, in a royal snit
fit. While they are out, Carly sneaks an IOU into the cash register.
Ruby agrees to let Lucy sell her t-shirts if she and Katherine can
refrain from making a disturbance, and when she goes back inside, she
finds the IOU. "But next time, you ASK," she growls at Carly. Youch.
Go Ruby. Nice to see the Spencer Sh*t Detector still works, at least
for Ruby & Luke.

 "YOU CAN"T GRAB UP TWO KIDS AND A BIG DUMB DOG AND OUTRUN A MURDER
CONVICTION" (Laura) "SURE WE CAN!" (Luke)  Luke and Laura are sitting
on the couch, and Luke has tried to keep the paper from her, but Foster
brings it in. She sees it, gets depressed, and he tries to cheer her
up. He has all the paperwork ready, the big carpetbag is all packed
and ready to go. Besides, there's this videotape that might be
evidence. The phone rings, and it's the lab-he's getting an image.

"I PROMISED HER I'D SHOOT YOU SOME QUESTIONS" (Luke). Luke goes to the
courthouse to see Justus, asking him what happens if he comes up with
hard evidence after the verdict? Justus says there is a six week
window between verdict and sentencing, and it will be Dara's call
if it exonerates Laura or not, and the charges could be totally
dismissed. Luke asks twitchily if they can get her out on bail
in the meantime. Justus says not with a murder two, and by the
way WHAT evidence. Luke's blood pressure visibly rises and he is
out the door.

"IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T TRUST YOU, EDWARD. IT'S THAT I TRUST MY HUSBAND
MORE." (Laura).  Edward stops by on one of his sympathy visits, and
Laura is understandably skeptical. They joke about her being a
receptionist, and he makes a bad booboo saying that "one smile
and I'd let you get away with..." "Murder..." she finishes. She
doesn't buy his act and asks him what he wants, which turns out
to see Luke, they've had a misunderstanding.

"WE HOPE FOR THE BEST AND WE PLAN FOR THE WORST" (Bobbie). Bobbie
comes over as Laura is packing up some things to take with her
to prison. They bond and talk about how Lesley called Bobbie "Aunt
Barbara Jean." Bobbie continuously says inappropriate things such
as "you had to be there" and that she will stand in for Laura and
be there for Lesley Lu, and Laura thanks her for it, cries and says
she needed to hear it, so maybe it's not exactly inappropriate but
just makes ME uncomfortable.

"HAVE YOU EVER TRIED DECEPTION?" (Lucy, to Carly)  Lucy is being
wonderfully pushy, selling t-shirts and tickets to complete strangers
as they pass by, and Katherine watches. Carly comes outside and gets
sucked into their debate over what type of customers prefer Deception.
Carly is bewildered by their ongoing snit fit and by being called
"Connie" by Lucy (yeah, the last Connie on this show ended up being
strangled by Ryan, I'd be worried too). Lucy says to Katherine "You
are as elite as that dirty money you inherited from Damian Smith," and
Carly's ears perk up at the sound of the M word.

"SHE'LL ALWAYS KNOW YOUR INNOCENCE AND SHE'LL SEE YOUR COURAGE" (Bobbie)
Well, that one was pretty good, I think. They discuss Luke being a father
and Lucky's need for rules, and Lesley's need for a female role model,
since she has so many male ones (who? shudder). Laura cries and thanks
Bobbie for being there, and they hug.

"THAT'S RIGHT, LITTLE SISTER. YOU'RE WORKING FOR ME." (Katherine) Lucy
is jabbering into a cell phone, talking to the caterer. The caterer
refuses to do anything without final approval, which baffles her.
Katherine smirks and gloats about the caviar incident, which is brought
up, and puts on more makeup. I'm trying to be objective, but I hate
this woman--she has NO remorse for that. Lucy calls the florist and
they also refuse to do anything without a signature. Lucy gripes and
Kath gloats. Katherine can't resist and gives her a few hints--the
anonymous underwriter would have as much money as Damian Smith, but
would be more modest (BWAHAHA) and would know that real class involves
restraint (HEHE). Lucy figures it out, and Katherine gloats with the
line I started this section with.

"I'M USED TO MISUNDERSTANDINGS" Carly is sitting, looking depressed,
and Bobbie comes over to see what's wrong, asks if it is still about
the IOU. Carly says no, she's used to it, because she's always the
outsider. Bobbie says she hopes that Carly doesn't feel like an
outsider because they love her, she's part of the Jones family, blah
blah blah. Carly seems to mist up for real, takes Bobbie's hand and
says she has just needed to hear that for a long time."

A side note: I think they are doing a great job with Carly and Bobbie.
As I was watching this today, I was thinking, why didn't you just show
up and TELL Bobbie you were her daughter? Bobbie would have given her
anything and helped her do anything, and now there are all these lies
between them. And then I realized, that is EXACTLY what Bobbie does.
Why hasn't Bobbie just TOLD Tony about looking for Carly, and about
needing money to do it? Because...it's the way they are, mother and
daughter, and I think they're writing this dead on.

"MOMMY MAY HAVE TO GO AWAY." (Laura). Laura sits with an absolutely
lovely Lesley Lu, on the couch, and talks to her, as Lesley looks
solemnly back at her and seems to understand perfectly. She cries
and holds her, telling her that "there is something like a little
line that goes through the air and that connects Mommy to the baby"
WHERE IS LUCKY??? They made some inane excuse that he was out
fishing. On the day that the jury verdict might come in?? When
Luke doesn't really know what happened with the car bomb and it
may have been in retaliation for Harper for all he knows?

"YEAH, THAT'S HIM." (Luke) Well, not exactly. Luke has gone to
pester David, the video man. He is getting a few images--he
has Ward House very plainly, and they can see someone coming out.
Luke says "Yeah, that's him" and asks if it can be cleaned up.
It is plainly Justus, but I can't tell if Luke really knows or
not. He tells David to get in closer to that face and try to
bring up a time code or a date, because without it, there is
no way to tie it to the date of the fire. He sits back to light
a cigar and an idea flashes--there might be fire in the windows
(there is, I saw it earlier). David asks if he wants him to back
up to the windows or work on the face some more. Luke chooses to
stay with the face.
