============================================================

Miranda's Gone [thank you, God], Jax is arrested, Sonny's got Zip
===========================================================================
Sonny goes to Miranda's apartment. He needs her to tell Mac that she saw
Dorman and "a patient in a wheelchair" at the PC Airport. She's gone, though.
Brenda arrives and Sonny explains why he needs to find M.  They talk about
why Brenda came to Miranda's apartment. She tells Sonny that Jax didn't want
to hear her confessions about her and Sonny aardvarking in the cave. Sonny is
irritated that Brenda's marriage hasn't blown apart yet.  They poke around
and ascertain that Miranda went to the airport...they take off.  Yep, Duh's
at the airport waiting for her flight to leave. She spots Jax lumbering in
and thinks he's at the airport to join her so they can fly off together.
Wrong.  He's going on a business trip, that's all.  Jax tells Miranda that he
has moved on...why doesn't she?  Desperately, she blurts out that Brenda really
loves Sonny. The only response from Jax is a look of pain and disgust. He
walks away toward the gate. She turns in another direction and, mercifully,
walks off the show.  As Jax is preparing to show his ticket, Brenda and Sonny
breeze up. He is short with both of them as they explain why they're
(1) together and (2) why it's important that Sonny find Miranda. Before Jax
can complete his check-in, two men come up and identify themselves as federal
agents.  They demand that Jax open his luggage. They find a kilo of a white
powder which they immediately identify as heroin [no drug test, boys?].
They read Jax his rights.  [this updater doesn't think that Dorman planted
the drugs. My money is on our own little Nedling, who could use something
like Jax's drug arrest to force him off the ELQ board...longshot!]

Stef Gets his Egg, leaves Luke with a Goose-Egg
===========================================================================
In Switzerland, Laura answers a knock at the chalet door. It's SteFAWN! He
claims he's just on a scavanger hunt, and a Faberage egg is next on his list.
Luke strides in from another room; Stef is surprised to find him there. Luke
starts to bait Stef about the egg. Stef says he's not leaving without it. Luke
grabs the egg and demands that Stef tell him what's inside. Laura tells Luke
to give Stef the damned thing already!  Luke threatens to destroy the egg and
darts outside onto the porch saying he'll throw it down a crevasse. He looks
up and Stef has drawn a gun. Laura demands that Luke give up the egg. Then
Luke whips out his own gun...stand off!  There's a quick movement, Stef bonks
Luke on the head w/his gun and Spencer goes down like a sack of wet cement
[faked it]. Stef grabs the egg and Laura, crouching over Luke, snarls up at
Stef. He replies that he saved her marriage, what more does she want? [this
updater thinks the whole scene was another Spencer con...part of Luke's own
"master plan"]

Ned comforts Emily
===========================================================================
Ned talks to Emily. They reach a new level of understanding when he relates
the tragic drug death of one of his old school pals. Later on, Ned suggests
to Edward that he tell Emily he loves her.

Lucy and Filly, get thee to a nunnery.
===========================================================================
At the lighthouse Lucy dreams of an idyllic future with Kevin and their
children, Little Lucy and Kevin, Jr.  Felicia rings the bell; she has some
disquieting news. When Kevin was in England, he arranged to have a package
sent to a convent in a remote French village. The fillies grab their gold
cards and head for the airport, bound for France.

KevinBunny: The kwazy wabbit's in LOVE! [ps: get a haircut, Jon]
===========================================================================
Kevin is in a shrink session with Gail Baldwin. He's so goofy in love with
Lucy that he's having trouble concentrating. He tells Gail that Lucy is the
only one who's ever been there for him, through his darkest moments. He's
going to tell her his biggest secret...all about dad Victor Collins.
