With the exception of the bar scenes with AJ, Carly, and Jason,
most of today's ep took place in the hospital, with lots of
cut-tos, and quick entrances, exits, and reentrances. Updaters'
nightmare, if you ask me.

AJ, hungover, was communing with a glass of vodka; enter Carly. She
told him she wanted to "forget last night ever happened," and asked for
his help in ensuring she can. He looked perplexed.

Sonny met up with Jason, outside Emily's room, and Jason
filled him in on the previous night's exitement. Sonny ordered
him to go home and rest, and just as he ragged to Ned about
Dorman being Emily's doctor, entered Tony.

Emily, awake, was distraught and embarrased. Monica and
Alan attempted to comfort her and apologize for being
so oblivious to her problems and drug use. As Alan pondered,
"Who would sell drugs to a child," entered Dorman. He
played at showing empathy for Emily, saying he doesn't
blame her for not wanting to talk, and told the Q's that
they should save any lectures. As Alan affirmed his purpose
was to find where Emily got the drugs, Tony walked in and,
officially taking over the case, booted the Big Bad D from
the room.

Brenda and Ned met up in the hallway, and he wrung his
hands some. Alan and Monica came out and started arguing
(not bad, though). Ned pointed out their behavior to Brenda
and asked, is it any wonder Emily thinks her parents hate each
other.

Sonny and Taggert engaged, and Sonny challenged him,
saying he'll find out where the drugs are coming from before
the detective can. Amy told Taggert, if he wants to
question Emily, he'll have to go through the proper channels.
As he shuffled off to do so, Dorman slunk out and watched
him, while Sonny lurked in the shadows and watched Dorman.

AJ/Carly

"It's not the end of the world," he says. "We tied one on together,
no big deal." Carly then spilled out her "I'm not really that
kind of person" schpiel...and he stopped her to ask just what
happened...he blacked it out. Siezing the opportunity, Carly
told him that he rescued her from passing out drunk on the floor
of the bar, and took her upstairs to be sick in private. While
AJ was bummed that he has no recall of doing a good deed, he
bought it and asked, jokingly, her to write a nice note to Keisha,
so he'll get brownie points. Enter Jason.

He assumed Carly was there looking for him, and was surprised
that she even knew his brother. "Who doesn't know the city
councilman," she faked, said she was there because her
car broke down (oh, how original!), and left for the bathroom,
where she gave in to the ego slap of not being a memorable
bed partner. Outside, Jason filled AJ in on Emily's big adventure.
AJ was shocked.
"Why would she knowingly put this stuff into her body," he asked.
"Why do you drink," Jason returned.
After expressing a little more outrage, AJ left for the hospital.

When Carly came out of the little girl's room, Jason quizzed her
a little about her knowledge of AJ, because their earlier
conversation looked a little heavy to be about car troubles.
Okay, she said, you caught me. I came to this really cool
bar to think and get my head straight. He claimed to give
her the benefit of the doubt; exit Carly.

Hospital.

Brenda commiserated with Ned, and told him about her
circumstances (drug counseling, being without Jax or
Sonny). Ned encouraged her to stick with the program.
"I don't know how many me's there are inside of myself,
but I haven't met one that I liked, lately," she complained.
"I have," Ned reponded.

Taggert asked Alan and Monica for ideas on where Emily
obtained the drugs, but they were too busy kicking themselves
to be much use. When he wanted to question Emily, Tony
thought that wasn't a good idea just yet, and Dorman butted
in to reiterate the same. "We'll ask," Alan compromised.

Dorman stepped out to the courtyard to ring up Matt, but
no luck.

In her room, when the Qs tried to question Emily, she was vague,
and when they asked about Matt, Em covered for him. They
reported back to Taggert with their lack of findings, but
gave him Matt's name as someone she'd been spending a lot
of time with. Dorman overheard, and got uptight.

Sonny spied Brenda and gave her a soulful look, so she took
off to get coffee, giving Ned and Sonny a chance to catch
up about and gossip about Jax's latest deeds.

Back in Em's room, Monica, well into her guilt trip, flashed back
to Paige's death, until Emily woke up (coincidentally, after
dreaming about her natural mom). They spoke about Paige
a little bit, Monica guilted about of letting Paige down,
Emily tried to let her off the hook, and the two hugged.

Sonny watched Dorman suck up to Taggert, ask the detective
if he was making headway, and not get much info.

AJ showed up wanting to see Emily, but the other Q's thought
that a bad idea; Ned, of course, got his daily AJ-roast.

Jason returned to the hospital and spoke with Sonny, then went
on to throw *his* hat into the guilt-ring, because, he
told Sonny, Nik Cassadine told him weeks ago that Em was
in trouble. Later, Jason ran into Alan and Monica and asked
where AJ went off to. Alan assumed AJ'd gone back to get
drunk. In actuality, AJ stepped into an Alcoholics Anonymous
meeting, being led by our old friend Lee Baldwin.

Finally, Dorman caught Matt on the phone, to tell him about
his hot new product. I'll make the drop in the usual place, he
told Matt.

Sonny, in the hospital courtyard, assumed a Rodin pose by the
flower beds. Enter Brenda.
