Scene 2
The Amazing Expanding Lois tries to convince Ned that he needs to stay and
defeat Jax and Tracy, then they can go to L.A.
Scene 3
Laura tries to talk to Lucky, but he is standoffish. Stephan interrupts at the
door.
Scene 4
Nikolas and Luke talk in the catacombs. Luke bluntly explains the facts of
Cassidine life to Nikolas and how Stephan is manipulating him.  He plants the
seeds of rebellion in Nikolas and leaves saying that for Nikolas to have a life
of his own, he must split now.
Scene 5

accuses her of caring more for Nikolas. Laura counters that Nikolas is her son,
and she's worried about him. Lucky expresses his desire that they never find
him again.
Scene 6
Jax tries to explain life in the big game; he takes over companies that have
grown sloppy or decadent like ELQ has.

insists Ned wants to do it despite his reticence to get involved.
Scene 8
Bobbie points out to Audrey an apparent discrepancy between Carly's class work
and entrance exam results (which were obtained by cheating).  Tony tells Bobbie
that Kevin's neurological workup is ok, and they agree to write down exhaustion
as his problem.  When Audrey steps over and again comments on Bobbie's concern
over Carly's poor work, Tony jumps to Carly's defense.
Scene 9
Meanwhile, Carly is arguing with PI Pizer over money. He says due to Luke and
Sonny his business is gone, and he wants her to give him money to leave. She
says she has no money, but he says her school money would do. She tells him
no way in explicit salivary terms.  When he threatens to expose her, she says
she's so sick of him and the lies she'll tell Tony herself.
Scene 10
Jax continues to explain to Brenda the Jax philosophy of life.  He says what
happens to ELQ doesn't matter, only his being the best for her matters.

idea. Justus briefs Ned on Jax's strategy. Ned says they have to stop Tracy
first.
Scene 12
Nikolas appears at Kelly's where Gina catches him trying to take her notebook.
Scene 13
Laura meets Stephan in the park. Stephan appears distraught over Nikolas'
disappearance. Laura is drawn to him and touches his arm in mutual comfort; he
looks at her questioningly. They discuss childrearing in general and Nikolas'
childhood in particular.  Laura rambles on about being pregnant with Nikolas
and only wanting to tell Stephan the secret. Apparantly, they were close on the
island when she was held captive.
Scene 14
Nikolas tries to buy Gina's notebook for $40 saying he needed pen and paper. He
says he's breaking away. She gives him a sheet, and he leaves.  Afterwards,
Luke sits down and tells Gina that people were looking for Nikolas, but he
won't tell where he was. Gina remarks that no none will soon know where he is.
Luke lights up one of his ubiquitous cigars and puffs contentedly.

Edward and Lois banter about Ned and Tracy. Lois' mother serves dinner, then
she and Lois talk privately about Tracy. Lois tells her it's now personal
between her and Tracy.
Scene 16
Brenda comments that Jax really is as ruthless as people said.  "Not in real
life," he reassures her smiling. She remarks that she's never been with anyone
who didn't hold things back. "But I did," he answers honestly. "Until I asked,"
she replies. "I have to watch what I ask because you'll just tell me."
Scene 17
Bobbie rebukes Tony for questioning her judgment in front of Audrey.  He says
not to blame Carly if she's mad at him for putting up the school money. She
snaps back that she doesn't judge her students out of spite.
Scene 18
Nearby, Dr. Dorkman is busy trying to set up another tryst with Monica [who was
recently seeded second in the GH Tramp of the Year Tournament behind the
perennial favorite Bobbie], but she begs off saying she'll be at a convention
for a couple of weeks.

overhears when Edward reminds Ned that Tracy was involved in a hit and run with
Ned's ex-wife Jenny and never regretted it.
Scene 22
Carly tries to write a note of truth, but Tony surprises her at the door.  She
stammers trying to tell him her story, but he misunderstands and thinks it's
about what happened when Bobbie was away. [Not enough as far as I'm concerned]
Scene 23
Stephan sits alone in the dark park when he gets a phone call and rushes off.
Scene 24
Back at Luke's, Lucky has discovered Nikolas and a heated argument ensues
leading to violence. As they struggle upstairs, Luke and Laura enter the front

down the stairs ending up bleeding and unconscious at Laura's feet. [I sure
hope they have Stain Master carpets]
