The new opening credits are here! Also for all those folks who
missed GH it was actually a catchup day, nothing drastic happened.

Claiming the Guilt

Brenda evidently went back to Sonny's apartment after Sonny's
confrontation with Alan.  Brenda tells Sonny that he should be with
his wife and that it is her fault that he isn't.  They spend their
portion of the show exploring the guilt she feels.  Brenda tells
Sonny that she knows what he is doing:  keeping busy and keeping
tough, to avoid the pain and guilt. She recognizes it because she
sees it every morning when she looks in the mirror.  Sonny starts to
push back.  He tells Brenda to talk to her husband or a professional.
Sonny claims the guilt and grief and is not willing to share them
with Brenda telling her she is acting like she is the center of the
universe [he pegged that one].  Brenda admits that Lily was Sonny's
center but that "WE loved each other, and WE were going to run away
together."  Sonny refuses to be eternally bonded with Brenda in a
living hell and absolves Brenda.  She refuses to be, telling Sonny
that it is not over.  Whoever they love no one is ever going to
diminish what they mean to each other.  SIDAR lives!

Honor among Thieves

Jax has let Ned into the penthouse.  Tracy is at the top of the
stairs evesdropping.  Smouldering in the ashtray is Tracy's cigar
with the lighter set next to it. Ned observes all as he sits himself
across from Jax who begins to smoke the cigar.  Jax offers him a
cigar or a brandy which Ned declines to save Eddie's pipes.  They
discuss the move to LA and the substantial empire that is being left
in PC. Jax jokingly makes an offer to buy the ELQ shares and inquires
as to who will be holding the proxy.  Ned indicates that the shares
are his child's future and the company is very important to him.
Ned asks Jax to watch Sonny. He admits that he miscalculated believing
that there would be honor among thieves but that it was a growth
experience, one of many that he had been getting lately.  Ned leaves
and Tracy comes down the stairs.  Jax holds up the cigar butt telling
her that it wasn't too smart.  Tracy goes off in a tizzy about how
Ned knows and how he will go to Edward.  Jax tells her to calm down.
"never let them see you sweat... everything is going according to
plan... (Ned's knowing) is academic."  Jax tells Tracy to call him
if she gets her "nightie in a twist" and he will calm her down as he
walks her to the door.

Rat in a maze

Felicia and Alt.Kevin continue in the car.  They discuss Garcia as
the stalker.  Felicia wonders why.  "who knows what drives people?"
responds Kevin "you don't have to be strong anymore, its all over
now."  Kevin automatically covers when Felicia asks how he knew that
Mac called.  Kevin indicates that Mac called him too.  Felicia still
does not know that she is in danger.  She dozes off, when she awakes
she is disoriented, she wants to call Mac.  Kevin tells her that there
is no phone for 50 miles.  When Felicia asks where they are.  Kevin
tells her to not raise her voice to him.  Felicia apologizes beginning
to realize that all is not as it seems.  Kevin tells her that life is
not a game but a maze.  And that humans are like rats running round
and round until they drop into waiting hands. "you didn't know how bad
I could be?" Kevin asks.  Felicia starts quizzing her driver on Kevin's
history and the responses are not what she expects. Finally she calls
him Ryan at which Alt.Kevin explodes telling her to not call him that
that he is not Ryan.  At long last they reach the lake and row out to
a cabin. At the cabin Kevin indicates that it is just the same, as he
locks the door.

Before it is too late... it is too late.

Lucy, Mac and Tom discover Felicia's open apartment.  Garcia is out
cold on the kitchen floor.  Lucy continues to deny that Kevin is
capable of violence.  As Garcia rouses he indicates that Felicia
received a phone call and she, rather than Kevin, struck him.  He
tells Mac to check the phone trap and all hear the false message
left by Kevin.  Alejandro proves how hard headed he is as he insists
on returning to the cop shop rather than go to GH to have his possible
concussion evaluated.  MLT decide to check the lighthouse for Kevin
or clues.  At the lighthouse the discover the latest picture with a
knife in it and a cop shows up with the picture from the Outback that
has been slashed between Madonna and child.  Mac and Tom try to
convince Lucy that Kevin is dangerous while she admits that she has
been watching him for a week.  Together they put together the clues.
Memory loss, unexplained anger, the book, the painting, the phone calls
to Mac, attempting to leave Lucy with the key to his desk.  Kevin is
in trouble and he has been asking for help, claims lucy, help before
it is too late.  Tom indicates that it is too late.

The gold digger and the 10c bitch

Lois is sleeping on the couch in Q mansion when Edward comes in.  He
helps her sit up and she tells him about her dream.  She tells him how
the elders used to play bacchi (sp?) and the kids would chase the balls
that had gone astray.  She paints a lovely intergenerational picture
and invites Edward to participate.  To come out to LA and take Brooke
to Disneyland.  Lois is offering Edward an olive branch.  Edward rather
sweetly tells her that she is gloating and baiting him.  She admits
that he always rises to the bait and that she is going to miss him.
Edward pulls out his gold watch and fob and tells the story of how he
used to dangle it just out of a baby Ned's reach but that Ned always
grabbed at it.  He gives the watch to Lois for her child.  Lois is
touched by the gift.

Later back at the gatehouse, Lois has a visitor; it is Mother Ashton
looking for Ned.  Considering that throughout the episode Tracy has
been referring to Lois as a cow with claws, she just offers a small
jibe in reference to Lois' pregnancy.  Lois comes back with "if you
have got it flaunt it."  When Tracy discovers that Ned is not there
she starts in on how Ned has never been faithful and Lois cannot keep
track of her husband.  Tracy discovers her fathers watch.  Lois tells
her is was a present from Edward for the baby- the first present from
the Q's. Tracy says that when Edward dies that the watch belongs to
Dylan. Lois says no- she is sure that when Dylan has a child that
Edward will give that baby something of equal value.  Tracy calls Lois
a gold digger and Lois calls her a 10 carat bitch in return.  Ned
arrives and sensing the tension in the air asks what is going on.
Lois indicates that she and Tracy were getting to know each other
better.
