GH Update 5/14/97

1. Bobbie learns the Cassadine Way, and lays down a Spencer Law

The wide-eyed one descends the stairs and encounters an
unusually casually dressed Alexis. Alexis was wondering
if Stefan was back from his trip yet, while Bobbie was
wondering where Nik had gotten himself off to. Just then,
the phone rings, and it's The Younger Cassadine, claiming
he spent most of the night in the library (what? he has school?)
and then rushed back there first thing in the morning, he
loves the place so much. Bobbie wasn't buying it (that's twice
in three weeks!), but Nik ducked off the phone.

Alexis takes the opportunity to explain to Bobbie the best
way to deal with Cassadine men: act as though you accept their
lie, because they've probably got a good reason for doing it.

In walks Stefan.
Bobbie: "How did it go? With the reseach foundation."

Next, we saw Stefan wrapping up his research talk with
Alexis. The minute she left, Bobbie called him to the carpet on
the real reason for the trip.

Bobbie: "You went there for that damn Fabergé egg, didn't you?"

Stefan came up with the usual excuses- it's a family
heirloom, a gift from the Tzar in our enemy's hands, blah blah blah.
A gift from Nik to Leslie Lu, she pointed out, then let into
him. When talk of the scene in Suissland came up, Stefan
relayed that Luke was there also, and Bobbie inferred that
if Stefan hadn't run into Luke, she'd never have gotten the
truth about this trek. Having enough, Bobbie lays it down:

"I will not be made a fool of. And I will not be lied to. And when
I ask you a direct question, I expect the answer to be true."

Stefan reaches into his bag and comes up with:

"Being a Cassadine means having a kind of pride that's almost like
shame; it means assuming that to know me, to know what I
want, to know what I value, is to hate me."

He really said that. And talked of his unworthiness, etc, maybe
hoping Bobbie had read all the self-help books and would give
sympathy. He wrapped the speech up by unleashing that Cassadine
Passion Thang; Bobbie put her outraged feelings aside for good sex.

Next, we saw Stefan's medallion trickling its way along
Bobbie's arm and shoulder. Stefan believed he pacified his
wife once again. But he didn't see her less than contented
looking face.

After Bobbie left for the hospital, Stefan and Alexis got
the egg out, were about to insert their keys when
Nik came in and wanted to know what they were up to.

2. Courting Jax

Ned and Brenda check in for Jax's bail hearing, and we
got a scene where the two re-affirmed their supportive
relationship, till Sonny and Jason enter the hallway.
Ned asks Brenda if she'd considered the possibility
that Sonny was behind Jax's arrest. She answered
yes, she considered it, but no, she doubted it.

Enter Jax, who huged his bride, then let into Sonny
for spectating.

Sonny and Jason were disappointed that Taggert didn't bother
to show up. Brenda Was There for Jax, and this time, he was more
receptive to her support than he was at the airport, when
he first got busted. He kissed her hand, Sonny made a snotty face.

Ned gave Justus a hard time for representing Jax, wondering
if it was he, Ned, who was in trouble, would Justus be so
quick to rush to his defense? Justus said he likes having innocent
clients.

Justus and Dara got to spar over the case, and Dara admitted
doubting Jax's guilt, but with the whole town in an uproar,
no way was she going to walk in the court room and say
"Yer Honor - wasn't him."

Brenda offers to call a press conference and start a "Free
Jax Now" movement. He was thankful, but gracefully declined.

After the hearing Justus advised Jax to push for an
early trial, and as the Jacks' were about to leave,
Dara informed them that Taggert got a search warrent
for the penthouse.

Jax: "They won't find anything, unless..."
Justus: "-unless?"

3. Luke & Lucky emulate mouse-pushing wackos

At Ruby's Diner, Luke enters and greets Lucky, who's clicking
away at his laptop. (Nik traded his parka for a trenchcoat and
lurked at the diner door, watching the reunion, then wandered
off.) Their conversation revealed that:

a. Lucky is a WSB mole working on a virtual LAN.
b. Stefan's egg is holding a cloned version of the chip
c. Lucky doesn't have a firewall.
d. Lucky is stilled enrolled in school.

Luke shared his Cassadine Spawn adventure with his son,
who reacted by saying: "You WHAT? Am I missing something?"

Finally, they patted each other on the back for
their cleverness, and Luke announced his intention
to pay a visit to his sister.

4. "Earring My Eye" starring AJ and Carly

Carly is on the phone with someone representing
the hospital where Virginia is convalescing, when
the doorbell rings. When she opens it the door,
AJ is standing there with the earring she
dropped at ELQ.
Just then Tony arrives, and is surprised that Tony
and Carly even knew each other. AJ said he was
in the neighborhood, looking for an apartment.
Tony sends Carly to check his answering service
and takes a minute to gossip with AJ about his
recent misfortunes, then sent the Q on his way
with some apartment leads.

He picked up the earring and asked about it; Carly grabbed it
and, saying she hated the pair, threw it out.
He brought up the Lucas issue, and said he thought it
would be a good idea to reintroduce him to La Douche.
Tony said Lucas was relaxing about their affair, and
that Bobbie should be credited for it. He also said
how glad he was that he dropped the custody issue.
Carly loved that - not.

After he left to go back to the hospital, as Carly's
walking out the door - AJ's back. This time to
share the news that he'll be her new neighbor.

5. Lucy and Filly develop a new Habit

In Felicia's hotel room, the two were going over some
guide to the Novice life, devating whether or not to dress
up as nuns. Lucy was all gung ho on the idea, but Filly
had doubts. They'd be recognized. No, says Lucy, we'll
be in wimples, perfect disguise. Lucy's ready to go so
far as to sew the costumes herself. Filly doubted they
could pass for nuns, especially since she couldn't see
Lucy taking a vow of silence.
(picky picky: Lucy, the fashion maven, knows what a wimple
is, but pronounces the French word for silk as "soy-ee.")

Later, Filly comes out in a pseudo habit, and a bad one at
that. They bickered some more on the liklihood, or lack of
it, that they'd fit in easily to the cloistered life without
being noticed. Filicia finally allowed Lucy to talk her into
jumping the convent fence to nick some habits off the
clothes line, on the condition that Lucy's vow of silence
start immediately. Lucy vowed, then broke it ten seconds
later with "That's the last thing I'm going to say."

Later we saw Felicia in a more convincing habit,
and riddling Lucy with comments, but Lucy was
good and didn't break her vow. When Felicia allowed
her to speak, first thing past her lips: "I look fabu,
don't I?" (she did) and continued on a stream.

Lastly

At the Brownstone, Bobbie showed up to vent to
Tony: "Luke was right, everybody was right" about
Stefan.
