Flashback count: a blessed zero!

I. OF DRUGS AND SIDAR
Mike is at LUKE's as Sonny comes in.  Mike tries banter, and when Luke
comes in Mike comments that Sonny *smiles* at Luke.  Sonny grumps.  Luke
tells Sonny about the computer chip in the egg and about rescuing Nik off
the cliff.  Sonny wonders why and Luke theorizes that he gets
sentimental at high altitudes. Sonny tells about Jax' arrest and that
Brenda is blaming him. He calls Mac, but Mac is out of town.  Taggart
comes in.  He talks to them about finding Brenda at Jax'.  Luke leaves
the table and Taggart and Sonny talk about Dorman.  "He's so clean, he
might as well run for President."  [Your Fearless Updater wondered if
just maybe the writers were making a bit of a political statement there!]
They discuss Deke, and Matt, and Rebecca Chase.  Taggart says the PCPD
have round-the-clock surveillance on Dorman.  They've mostly arrested Jax
to make Dorman think he's safe.

Jax is on the phone to John while the apartment is being searched.
Taggart comes in.  Jax is sure that Sonny set him up. Brenda hears that
Dorman is on the surveillance tape.  Taggart confronts her with her
pills, and Brenda tells about those and about her addiction.

Jax sees Taggart off and tells Brenda she shouldn't have told.  It was
"foolish, but brave as Hell."  Brenda asks him to promise he won't go
after Sonny.  The minute she's out the door, Jax calls Sonny.  Brenda
goes to Sonny: "You need to help Jax."  She wants him to use his
organization.  Jax goes into LUKE's, with Taggart following him.

II. WACKINESS AT WYNDEMERE
Nik confronts Alexis and Stefan with the egg.  Alexis leaves.  Nik asks
what's so improtant about the egg: "is there a map inside that tells
where all the bodies are buried?"  He's furious.  Stefan thinks a bout of
Tai Chi will calm him, so they go out to the drear forest with the owls
hooting.  They're either doing Tai Chi or attempting to kill each other.
It's apparent that Nik hasn't been practicing, as Stefan almost instantly
has him in a death grip.  Nik still doesn't tell about the cliff.  Stefan
lets go and tries to establish contact with Nik, but Nik leaves to "find
his peace" and Stefan yells after him.

At the Brownstone Bobbie tells Tony that Luke was right [THAT must be
costing her!] and that she wants to get away from Stefan.  She wants Tony
to hold her.  Maxie comes in to reminisce about B.J.  They remember
playing tag and breaking the furniture.  [Is Betty babysitting?]  Tony
cries.  After Maxie has left, Bobbie says, about Stefan, that she never
met anybody before in whom the connection between actions and words was
so utterly meaningless.  Tony's not surprised.  He asks about Katherine,
but Bobbie is more worried about the egg.  Tony generously tells her that
she's always welcome at her house.  They hug, and after she's gone Tony
calls Luke to tell him the good news.

Alexis, at Wyndemere, hands Bobbie the mail.  She opens the custody
papers, and is so distraught she doesn't even widen her eyes.

III. ZE FRENCH FARCE
We see Felicia and Lucy as "nuns."  Lucy is trying to put on makeup and
has her habit pinned up.  They race for the train.  Felicia has Bibles.
"Hold it... and try to remember being a virgin."

Kevin is on the train, and Mac comes up and asks what he's doing to
Felicia.  Kevin explains, and asks for Mac's trust.  He's got one last
secret but has to tell Lucy first.  He's not stalking Felicia, he's
chasing Lucy who's chasing him.  He tells Mac about the nuns... so why
don't they recognize Felicia and Lucy?

Lucy, who is carrying a loaf of bread, doesn't see well with the
glasses.  They see Mac and Kevin in the compartment.  Lucy doesn't want
to take the easy way out and ask what's going on.  The conductor comes
through and tells them to sit.  Kevin helps Lucy with her bag, and Lucy
knocks out the light with her bread.  Then she hits Mac with it.  Then
she devours it.

In the dark, [in more ways than one] Mac thinks about helping Kevin.
Felicia thinks about Mac protecting her.  Kevin worries about telling
Lucy.  Lucy thinks Kevin looks great and she eats.

They bump into each other in the dark, and Kevin thinks "I'd swear that
crosseyed nun with the glasses just felt me up."  When the train stops,
Felicia and Lucy leave, and it turns out that Kevin and Mac can't find
their passports.  Felicia stole them.
