Evening in Port Charles

   Spencer House

      L & L got cozy, with Laura being especially loving and appreciating
of Luke's Lukeness, going on about how she couldn't imagine life without
him, how great he's being with Leslie, etc.

Luke: "I don't wanna look a gift bunny in the mouth, but, are you stroking
me?"

   Laura mananged to divert him for a short time, but Luke was feeling
introspective, and asking questions. After a flashback to Stefan's
threat to reveal A Great Secret, Laura was temporarily saved by
a cry from Lulu's direction. When she returned to the LR, Luke
was watching a Brooke Shields laugh tracked sitcom. After some
initial small talk (Laura made fun of B.S.'s hair - Luke chose
not to throw stones), he knew something was up and asked her
what she was afraid of.
   "Losing you," Laura replied, and Luke immediately picked up
that whatever was on her mind had something to do with Stefan.

   Meanwhile, at the Jax's distinguished penthouse

      Jax found the faux Dear Jax note that Harry forced Brenda to write,
high-tailed it to Miranda's and showed it to her. She more or less
took the note at face value, but Jax refused to believe that Brenda
would leave him this way. Knowing that Miranda had been spending
time with Sonny, he wanted her to spill the topics of conversation
and tell him what she knew that might shed light on the current
situation. Miranda said she knew nothing, so he grabbed her and
the two went to Mac's office.
   When they arrived, they were informed that Sonny had just
been there (I'll get to that), so it was doubtful that Brenda was
with Sonny. Jax surmised danger was afoot, and Mac put out an
APB.

   At the courthouse

      In spite of her legal woes, Monica was bowled over to see
Jason back in the courtroom (is it me, or is he looking less Borg-
like these days?). Alan left the otherwise deserted room to give
the two some time alone, which Monica mostly used to apologize
for her present mess.

Monica: "You must look at me as just a married woman that is
having affairs with younger men and wishing them dead."
Jason: "So."

Just as they seemed to be making a connection, Dorman entered,
sauntered to the table and began harrassing the two. Jason slammed
Dorman's head to the table and threatened to break his (surgeon's)
hands (note: two threats to Dorman's life and livelihood in two
days). After Dorman swagged off, Monica flipped out at how calmly,
how professionally Jason took him down, which, of course, flipped
Jason out, so he left.

   As all this was happening, Alan and A.J. were in the hallowed
court halls, and Alan was praising his son for turning his life
around and becoming so repectable, in general. To wrap up his
kudos, Alan hugged A.J., then backed off and demanded to see the
flask he felt through the whelp's breast pocket. Sho' nuff, the younger
Quartermaine was carrying and pulled out the booze. At this,
Alan pulled a 180 and told A.J. to go ahead a wreck his life
as much as he wanted to, so long as Monica wouldn't hear about
it. Just after that, Monica came out of the courtroom, and
the elder Q's left for home, leaving A.J. to slink back into
the room and knock one back.

   The Perils of Brain-Dead; in the Catacombs(? City tunnels?)

      Harry vented his anger at Brenda for causing the death of his
beloved, sainted Lily. Initially, when he call the appointed phone
booth, Sonny wasn't there. (I'll get to that.)

Harry: "You make him stupid."
Harry: "You oughtta do something with your hair. Ya look like hell."

   Brenda suggested that Harry just go ahead and kill her, if
he really wanted to punish Corinthos, but Harry has other plans.
On the second try, Sonny is at the phone booth and Silver ordered
him to go to "the storage place. The one you were always afraid
to go into."
   Apparently, it's a short, small tunnel, with one entrance.
Harry knew about Sonny's claustrophobia, and told Brenda as
much. When Sonny arrived, the elder mobster pulled his gun
on him and pushed him to Brenda's side. Noticing the bruises
on her face, Sonny threateded to kill his former lackey.
   After some confrontation and discussion on just who was
really responsible for Lily's passing to Canada, Harry
promised the un-couple a slow and painful death.

   The Couple of the Day Award goes to...

      Sonny and Taggert. These two were so *on* in the scenes in the
police precinct.

  Sonny took direction, via cell phone, from Harry who held Brenda
hostage while Sonny was pent up in the sweaty interrogation room,
with Taggert looking surprisingly uninterested in the conversation.
When the phone call ended, Herr Commandant resumed riding the mobster,
asking if that was Sonny's drug supplier on the phone, and being
obnoxious in general, to the point that Sonny was ready to pop him.

Sonny: "You are a police officer. You are supposed to protect the
innocent instead of brutalizing them. You pick on the weak that
can't hit back."

   For better or worse, the pair were broken up when Mac and Jason
arrived. Mac admonished his co-worker for using his badge for
a personal vendetta, and pleaded with Taggert to lay off what
the commish considered a useless persuit, sticking a rap
on Sonny.

Taggert: "He can, and I will."
Mac: "Then plant some drugs on him and get it over with."
