STEPHAN PULLS THE STRINGS
Luke is looking in the window at Lulu and a thoroughly wrapped up Laura.
When Laura comes out, Luke tells her "I wish I had good news."  Laura
tells him "I do, they found a donor."  Luke is delighted.  Simone comes
out and explains they're using high doses of chemotherapy to kill Lulu's
immune system.  Bobbie thinks maybe the donor is her daughter.  Later,
when talking to Luke, she finds out Caroline was raised by a single
mother and breaks down.  Luke says that Virginia was better able to take
care of Caroline than a 16-yr-old would have been.  He tells her that three
years ago Caroline left Ft. Meyers owing money, which by Spencer logic is
a GOOD thing, she's a survivor.  A true Spencer.  Later Bobbie talks to Laura,
and thinks maybe the donor in Switzerland could be her daughter.  It's
hard to forget you have a child (Laura says "I know", and we can hear her
intensity.)  In Switzerland, Stephan says to a resting person on a bed:
"Well done.  Thanks to you.  She'll never be able to repay this debt.
I'm betting she'll try."

EDWARD PULLS THE STRINGS
At L&B, a subdued Ned comes in while Lois is bubbling on the phone.  The
Idle Rich has been signed to play Liberty Hall in Boston.  Ned is still
down, it's Edward.  He seems to be pushing Ned out the door.  Ned is,
naturally, suspicious, but Lois thinks "The old coot might have
mellowed."  She figures Ned is nervous, that this is stage fright.  They
discuss the baby and jobs.  Then Edward calls for Ned and orders him to
come to the Big House right away.

Previously, Edward had asked Justus to vet the Singapore contract, and
seems quite pleased when Justus finds that Paragraph #13 is a problem.
Justus has his dinner date with Dara, and tells her he's quitting trial
law.  She figures it's a fear of success, and they change the subject to
her singing.  She won't be satisfied if she's not the Best.  Justus
thinks you should follow your dreams, MaryMae always said if you didn't,
they would choke you.  Edward calls Justus back to the Big House.  Dara
comes along and tells Lois yes, sorta, maybe she'll kind of consider
considering it.

Edward shows Ned Paragraph #13.  Justus fixes it and Edward smiles
wolfishly and tells Ned "You go on -- sing your heart out if that's what
you want to do."  Ned goes back to the gatehouse and backs out of the
singing trip.

Lila tells a humming Edward "You can tell me what it is you're up to! ...
You're promoting dissention, aren't you?  Pitting grandson against
grandson.  That makes me Very Cross!"  She tells him he's punishing Ned
for his independence.  She also warns him that she doesn't think Justus
will be any easier to control, and someone will get hurt.  Remember Tracy!

THE STALKER PULLS THE STRINGS
Felicia is in a dark apartment with lightning and thunder outside.  She
opens the blinds so Tom can lurk more comfortably.  She thinks about the
upsetting incidents of the past few weeks, and finds a candle.  Hearing a
noise, she grabs a flashlight and clobbers Tom, and serve him right,
too.  He claims he was calling out to her.  They sit on the couch.  It's
only her place that's dark.  He thinks she should leave town, let him and
Mac handle this.  She'll go to Texas.  We are spared any more bunny-scenes.
