1. SIDAR NOW AND FOREVER, AMEN.
Katherine and Mac come to the house.  Katherine is surprised Mirander is
still there.  She tries to be nice.  Miranda is wimpy.  Katherine leaves,
Mac and Miranda talk, Miranda is wimpy.  He will support whatever
decision she makes, whether to go or stay.

At the hospital, John is walking with Brenda and Jax.  He tells them he's
going home.  He thinks he did the right thing.  John leaves, then after a
few words, Jax leaves.  John returns wanting to see Jax, but talks to
Brenda, who is trying to sweep the whole thing away in a tide of denial.
John insists that all that is left between Mirander and Jax is guilt and
memories, and that Jax loves Brender.  Ned appears and hugs Brenda.  He
expects to see puddles of tears on the floor, but Brenda insists she's
not upset and affirms she and Jax are staying together.  Katherine and
Nik come up.  Katherine tells Brenda that Miranda is at Mac's.  She
introduces Nik to Ned and Brenda, and Brenda leaves.

At LUKE'S, Sonny and MIke are talking.  Sonny asks about Brenda, and Mike
says he's hurt her too much, to back off.  Jax comes in.  He complains
about Sonny bringing Mirander.  Sonny asks him about the slave labor in
the mines.  Sonny tells Jax about MacBride, in Australia, and his
crippled hand.  Jax goes to see Mac to find out if J&J Jacks is actually
dealing in shady labor practices.  Miranda answers the door.  She's
wimpy.  She leaves, Mac and Jax talk.  Mac agrees with Sonny.  Meanwhile,
Miranda lurks, waiting for Jax.  Being wimpy, she will stay if Jax wants
her to.  Brenda is on her way over (to confront Miranda?) and overhears.
She stops in the bushes.

BOBBIE BUYS THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE, WIDENS HER EYES
Nik and Stefan are talking as Bobbie appears, and Stefan excuses
himself.  Nik, playing his part, tells Bobbie he is worried about his
uncle.  Bobbie widens her eyes.  Yes, Nik continues, Uncle Stefan just
hasn't been the same since he returned from the Dominican Republic.
Bobbie swallows the hook (line and sinker.)  She leaves, and Katherine
comes up.  She and Nik gaze at each other and she asks about his
schoolwork, since she reads RATSA in her spare time.  Meanwhile, Bobbie
follows Stefan.  There's spooky music, like "The Seventh Guest", playing.
Stefan gets "annoyed" with Nik for spilling his secrets.  It's just that
he finds Bobbie haunting.  She widens her eyes.  She's not ready, she
needs time.  After she leaves, Stefan enigmatically pulls out the batphone.

A NEW ANNIVERSARY
Lucy wakes up, remembering the night of passion.  Kevin is not in the
bed. She overhears him on the phone and eavesdrops, and hears: "I know
what I need and I know how to find you."  She misinterprets this.  She
comes out to find him sketching.  This worries her.  Kevin says he
doesn't connect his artwork to his problems.  She confronts him about the
call.  He was just talking to the art supply store.  Lucy is apologetic.
He's understanding.  In fact, he's TOO understanding.  "*I* don't
understand, how can YOU undertand?"  She's worried aobut his painting,
she thinks it's dangerous.  The sex was good, but, well, *different.*  He
says he's a stranger to her.  She tells him again not to tell her what
she feels and he says she's not being honest with either of them.  Lucy
explodes.  How COULD he fool her like that?  He tells her they're both
finding out who he is.  She's upset when he admits he could lie to her
again.  Lucy runs off.

She goes to LUKE'S and talks to Sonny.  She tells him about the fight.
Sonny says people often fight when they're trying to be on their best
behavior.  He tells her to give it time and patience.  Lucy lights up,
Sonny should be a bartender.  Meanwhile, we see Kevin sketching, while
remembering the crisis on Jasmine Island.  It's a pencil portrait of Lucy.

Lucy comes home to roses.  Kevin tells her that he's a different person,
and hopes to be a better one.  This is their new anniversary and he shows
her the new direction of his art.  They hug.
