Update:  Tues. May 20th.

I'm filling in for Amber while she's in the south of France
(at a convent, looking for a lost package... ).

Scene 1:  At Wyndemere

Alexis examines the custody suit papers and determines that
they're very damaging and that Bobbie could lose if this case
were brought to court.  Bobbie is still furious, and refuses to
back down when Alexis suggests that she just drop the whole
thing.  After all, the suit was never filed.  Stefan tries to
comfort Bobbie, saying that she's been "deceived by a master."
Bobbie replies:  "It's not the first time.  I'll get over it."  And
while Stefan is deciding whether he is the pot or kettle,
(either way, he looks splendid in black) Nik walks in just as
Bobbie vows to fight back.

Scene 2:  Luke's office

Tony is there chatting with Luke while he waits to meet
Justus (while the updater scratches her head and wonders
why Justus has to use Luke's office for his meetings...).  Tony
beats himself up over the custody suit, saying he should have
never written anything down, while Luke muses over who could
have sent those papers to Bobbie.  Tony, of course, has no
idea (perhaps a trip to the clue shop is in order, he can always
ask Bobbie for directions...)

Scene 3:  Carly's apartment

Carly is cleaning house, throwing away old disguises.  She's
stuffing that red wig into an enormous garbage bag when
suddenly her eyes glaze over and we enter the FLASHBACK
ZONE:  Yeah, yeah, we KNOW where she wore the red wig and
what she did when she was wearing it.  Sheesh, I don't get
that nostalgic over trash... END FLASHBACK.  She hauls the
trashbag into the hall and runs into AJ, who's carrying 3
boxes of extremely breakable items and has opted not to
pack them with cushioning material.  He asks her playfully
if she knows him well enough to fish his keys out of his pants
(while the rest of us know that she knows him well enough to
fish any number of items out of his pants).  While she plays
coy, he drops the boxes, shattering their contents.  Carly
apologizes profusely, while AJ decides to examine a broken
glass (I'll bet he runs with scissors, too) and cuts himself.

Scene 4:  Mac and Felicia in French hotel room:

After Mac's comment about how he found Felicia's habit
"appealing", they decide not to go there (thank you) and discuss
Kevin and Lucy instead.  They wonder if they located the package.
  Lucy and Kevin arrive and Kevin tells all of them The Truth:
There was no package, it was his father he sent from Oxford to
France (sure hope they poked some holes in the box...).  While
the others react to this news, Kevin goes on to say that he's had
no physical contact with Dad for most of his life, and that his
father's main mode of communicaton is mathematics (and
what's so wrong with *that*, asks the former math teacher...).
Mac asks if it's Alzheimer's.  Kevin says it's mental illness.  His
father is "practically insane".

Scene 5:  Lesley, Laura and Lulu in the Alps

Lesley asks Laura what Lulu looked like when she was born.
Laura says she was beautiful (although crinkly and red).  Then,
Lesley asks about Nik, and Laura says he was the most alert
baby she'd ever seen.  They go on to discuss how someday it
would be nice if Laura could have her whole family around her,
but Laura says that will never happen until the feud comes to
an end.

Scene 6:  Back at Luke's office

Tony continues to berate himself.  Justus arrives and says that
he has no idea how those papers got out of his office, and
suggests to Tony that he concentrate on who sent those papers
rather than beating himself up over the custody suit.  They
talk suspects:  It wasn't Justus' secretary (Justus apparently
grilled her and she didn't confess), but she did remember
woman with "reddish hair" that she let wait in Justus' office
(surrounded by top-secret legal documents) while she went to
lunch.  Luke gets "the look":  Maybe he knows who it is...

Scene 7:  Wyndemere

Stefan asks Nik to join in this "family discussion".  Nik asks
Bobbie to speak with him in private.  After he leaves, Alexis
goes to FLASHBACK LAND where she relives her conversation
with Nik where she reassured him that Stefan would never
cheat on Bobbie.  Stefan starts to worry about her glazed look,
and rouses her.  They discuss how worried they are about
Nikolas.

Meanwhile:  Nik defends Tony, saying he must like Bobbie, he
saved her from the fire, remember?  (Thankfully, they do not
flashback...)  He suggests dropping the whole thing, for Lucas' sake, and
Bobbie counters, saying he's grown up priveleged and
sheltered, so what the heck could he possibly know?

Scene 8:  Carly's apartment

Carly bandages AJ's cut hand.  They discuss her brief foray into
nursing and her imaginary friend in Florida.

Scene 9:  Luke's office

Luke has decided (surprize!) it's the Cassadines who could have
stolen and sent those papers.  After all Alexis has "reddish"
hair (she does?  Time to adjust the color on my set, I guess).
Neither Tony nor Justus buy that.  Justus points out that Stefan
had no way of knowing about the suit and that "Peg" (his
secretary) would have recognized her.  Luke is still convinced
there's a magic bullet and ignores the other shooter on the
grassy knoll.

Laura calls and Luke and they have a brief conversation about
Tony's problem.  Lesley asks Laura if she's afraid.  Laura says
she's afraid for them all.

Scene 10:  French hotel

Kevin expresses his fears of losing everyone he loves because
his whole family is insane.  He kept his dad a secret because he
was ashamed.  He wants nothing to do with his father, but
Lucy, Mac and Felicia finally convince him to go see him.  Kevin
says he will if Lucy comes along.

Scene 11:  Carly's apartment

Carly and AJ discuss his new apartment and she's shocked that
he would want to leave his mansion and family's money behind
to live in his new little bachelor pad.  Carly lusts after his
wealth.  Tony calls and she asks him if there's any "suspects"
in the "custody paper caper".  Tony tells her Luke's theory and
Carly falls in love with the idea.  Tony's not convinced and
wonders how could anyone hate him so much to do this to him.
Carly feigns a kitchen emergency and breaks off the
conversation.

Scene 12:  Wyndemere

Bobbie apologizes to Nik, and asks him to trust her, she knows
what she's doing...

Meanwhile, Alexis and Stefan wrap up their conversation.  Alexis
doesn't want to pursue the custody paper thing.  Stefan does.
And so they will.  End of conversation as Nik walks in.  Alexis
leaves and Stefan says to Nik:  "I have a surprize for you."  It's..
an EGG (note:  no base or keyholes yet at this time).  It's another
egg to present to Lulu and patch things up between them.  (I don't
know why he couldn't have given back the original egg.  I assume
it's no longer needed to contain the virus...)  Nik reluctantly
accepts his token.  Stefan says that he always has Nik's best
interest at heart.  Nik isn't so sure.

Scene 13:  Luke's office

Justus and Luke are still chatting about conspiracy theories,
when Keesha walks in, and in a very contrived scene, asks if
her bracelet is in Luke's lost and found, because, you see, the
last time she saw it was when "Carly asked me for Justus'
business card at the All 4 One concert."  Justus leaves as
Luke gets stabbed with a *plot point* and realizes that
Carly is the redhead.

Scene 14:  The convent

Lucy and Kevin make amends with the Mother Superior, and
Kevin asks to see his father.  He hesitates at the door.

Scene 15:  Wyndemere

Alexis, Stefan and Bobbie are going to the hospital and they
ask Nik if he wants to join them.  As much fun as their outing
sounds, he resists.  He calls Laura when they leave, but can't
bring himself to speak to her.  Lesley asks if it was a wrong
number.  Laura wonders....

Scene 16:  At Carly's

Uncle Luke's at the door.  (He knows it's you, Carly...)

Scene 17:  The French Hotel

After a conversation about the workings of a bidet, Felicia and
Mac discuss Kevin, and if he's not her computer whiz stalker this
time, then who is?

Scene 17:  The convent

Kevin walks in and Dad's at the computer.  Math equations
are all over the wall (hmmm... most of it looks like pretty
simple algebra to me. Physics stuff, most likely.)  Dad looks at
him with perhaps a hint of recognition....

The end!
