                            By John R. Andrews, UIC

Scene 1
Ned and Tracy spar a bit before Lois waddles into the room crowing about Eddie
main's plethora of bookings. They prepare to announce their plans.
Scene 2
Brenda paces around kvetching to Jax about Robin.
Scene 3
Alan tells Sonny he can't see Jason at GH. Robin intervenes saying Jason wants
to see him. Mac arrives, and Alan whines about Sonny. Mac says for Alan to
remember that any charges against Sonny will likely include Jason as well.
Scene 4
Lucy finds Tom searching Kevin's office. He tells her he's looking for proof,
like she is, and thinks he found it.
Scene 5
Felicia calls Kevin and tells him she's headed to Texas. While holding on the
phone as she answers the door, Kevin stares at his latest painting of a house
and has flashes of seeing her in a white dress in the doorway of the house.
Scene 6
Felicia answers the door; it's Garcia, and she tells Kevin goodbye.  In a half
daze, Kevin runs his hand over the painting.
Scene 7
Tom explains to Lucy that he knows Kevin had access to Tom's patient interviews
and made the fake voice tapes. At first, Lucy says he could just be setting up
Kevin, but eventually, she seems to be more resigned to the apparent truth of
the situation.
Scene 8
Brenda continues to ramble on to Jax about Robin. He tells her she must be more
positive. She then fawns over him and gives him a framed picture of himself.
Scene 9
Sonny and Robin visit with Jason. Jason asks to talk to Sonny privately.  After
she leaves, Jason reveals it was Sonny's own guys who beat him up.  Sonny says
right; it was standard procedure since he wasn't the one they expected. Sonny
really chews him out, and Jason swears he'll follow orders and won't screw up
again.
Scene 10
Alan continues whining about Sonny to whoever will listen; this time, it's
Bobbie, but she reminds him that not long ago Jason wasn't supposed to live, so
he should have hope.
Scene 11
Ned and Lois announce that they will be moving to LA. Predictably, Tracy reacts
viciously until Lila silences her. Edward doesn't have much to say and leaves
the room.
Scene 12
Kevin continues to work on his painting while experiencing Excedrin Headache
Number 4: You're a stalker and don't know it.
Scene 13
Lucy tries to half-heartedly deny Kevin's guilt despite Tom's arguments. As
they speak, Kevin's PC dials Felicia's phone unknown to them and plays a tape.
[Hmm, is this one of the new optional features of Windows 95?]
On Felicia's end, she hears Mac's voice say, "Be very careful. It's Garcia.",
and she looks over at Garcia who is sitting in her living room. Back at Kevin's
office, Tom and Lucy are unaware of what happened and continue to argue. Tom
tries to log into Kevin's PC but has trouble guessing the password.
[Sorry, but GH was interrupted here by a local news story, and I lost some of
the program so I'll guess what happened.] Eventually, they get into the files
and find very incriminating evidence.
Scene 14
Ned and Edward discuss a possible hostile take over attempt by Jax.  Edward
wants Ned to try to determine if Jax is really up to something.
Scene 15
As Robin ministers to Jason, Brenda arrives to personally check things out.
Sonny quietly tries to reassure her that Robin is fine.
Scene 16
Mac arrives at GH to see Tom and Lucy. Tom announces that it's Kevin [a bit
loudly, I think], and Mac phones in an APB [All Points Bulletin, for you non-
cop show people] for Kevin.
Scene 17
Back at Felicia's, confused by the apparent call from Mac, she smacks an
unsuspecting Garcia upside his head just as Kevin arrives.
[Now, I just have to take a moment to express my utter disgust at this scene.
How stupid could they be making Felicia. We're expected to believe that a
supposedly trained private eye would believe a phone call knowing full well
she's already received fake calls, and even worse, she bashes someone who has
absolutely no motive for stalking her and is a cop to boot, pathetic.]
Scene 18
Tracy tells Jax now that Ned is leaving, ELQ will be ripe for a take over soon.
Jax agrees and says she'll be CEO by the end of the year. She scoots off unseen
as Ned arrives to see Jax.
Scene 19
Alan lumbers up to Sonny outside of Jason's room, and they exchange insults and
not too subtle threats before Brenda hustles Sonny off.
Scene 20
Mac, Tom, and Tracy bust into Felicia's place but find her gone.
Scene 21
In his car, Kevin tells Felicia, "Relax, you're safe with me."  [Isn't that
what Brutus said to Caesar?]
