                            By John R. Andrews, UIC

Scene 1
Brenda comes to see Ned with some important request.
Scene 2
While Harry wraps up another present, he gets the news that Sonny is in jail.
Scene 3
In the PC lockup, Tom rants to Sonny about why Luke is out and they're still
in.
Scene 4
The people at GH are stunned at Laura's sudden appearance. She asks Alan to
come with her immediately.
Scene 5
Stephan finally tells Katy who he is and that he was the one who shot her. He
actually admits that he wanted to frame Luke for attempted murder. She wants to
know why he's telling her now.
Scene 6
Monica angrily confronts Laura and demands an explanation. Luke arrives with
Lucy, and Laura again begs Alan to come with her. "Where are you taking me?" he
asks. "To my mother," she replies to a stunned crowd.
Scene 7
Brenda accuses Ned of helping Sonny drag Miranda to PC. As she is about to tell
him what she wants from him, she stops abruptly and says she just got the same
feeling as when Sonny was hurt.
Scene 8
Meanwhile Sonny grows increasingly anxious in his cell.  As he explains the
facts of judicial life to Tom, Tom notices that Sonny is pale and sweating.
"It's just that I have this overwhelming desire to kiss Det. Taggert's head,"
Sonny confesses with embarrassment, "He's just so cute when he acts macho, it
makes me queasy."
Scene 9
Luke tries to explain to everyone that Stephan shot Katherine to frame him and
also kept Leslie drugged for years. Edward for one doesn't believe him. When
Mac arrives, he is greeted by men from the mayor's office to question him about
alleged investigation improprieties.
Scene 10
Brenda wants Ned to tell her all about Miranda's past.
Scene 11
Det. Taggert taunts Sonny thinking he is a heroin addict and confuses his
anxiety with withdrawal symptoms. When he releases Tom, Tom refuses to go
without Sonny.
Scene 12
Back at GH, Mac huddles with the mayor's men while Luke gets bitched out by an
PO'd Ruby [and that's not a pretty sight let me tell you].
Scene 13
Stephan babbles almost incoherently to Katy about his feelings for her.  She
angrily says it's just his guilty conscience and throws both the fact that he's
a newlywed and the necklace he gave her at him then orders him out of her room.
Scene 14
Tony confronts Luke about his treatment of Bobbie, but Luke replies he can't
trust Bobbie since she's a Cassidine now.
Scene 15
Back at the jail, Tom demands to see his "new" lawyer who he says just happens
to be Sonny's lawyer. Taggert says fine and puts him back in the cell, all the
while flashing Sonny that "I know you want me, sailor" smile of his.  As Tom
talks to Taggert, Sonny daytrips back to being locked in a closet as a child.
Scene 16
AJ expresses some admiration for Luke and Laura that they would do what it
takes to survive.
Scene 17
Alan confirms to Monica that Leslie Weber is mentally, in technical
psychological terms, just shy of a cauliflower.
Scene 18
Mac tells Luke he's going to check on Sonny and Tom.
Scene 19
Tom tells Sonny he knows that Sonny is claustrophobic, and he's afraid that
Sonny will finger him to get out of jail. As Sonny's condition worsens, Tom
notes all the classic symptoms.
Scene 20
Ned claims he has nothing on Miranda, but Brenda insists there must be
something, and she'll find out what it is. When Ned gets a call and tells her
Sonny is in the slammer, she rushes out.
Scene 21
Harry tells his man that Sonny will get out of jail just in time to see what
happens to the woman who put Lily in her grave.
Scene 22
Tom continues to diagnose Sonny guessing accurately what happened to Sonny as a
child. Sonny reacts with anger, and physically grabs Tom just as Brenda
arrives.
Scene 23
Ned tells someone on the phone that Sonny's days on the ELQ board are numbered.
When he answers a knock on the door, he unexpectedly finds Lois there with the
baby. [just seeing her ticks me off again about the lame plot they pulled for
her to leave]
Scene 24
Back at GH, as Stephan gives Katy back the necklace she flung at him and offers
to leave if she wants, Luke comes into the room.
