GH UPDATE THURSDAY JUNE 12

1. Dysfunction Junction
Brenda is at a table in the PC Grille [lessee, this is in the hotel,
right?  Where Jax lives?] Jax comes in, sits down, and she smiles at him.
They talk about Dorman.  Sonny comes in and claims possession.  Jax sees
how long Brender's "finding herself" lasted.  He asks Sonny if he's heard
anything and Sonny tells about Dorman's hiding place for the drugs.  Does
this mean Jax is cleared?  Jax tells them he has an ironclad alibi, and
leaves.

Brenda is worried about Sonny.  Taggert still hates him. Sonny's not
worried, and says she's most upset because she thinks maybe Sonny did it.
He claims he didn't.  She is going to have to learn to live with unanswered
questions.

They look over at Ned and Alexis.  Brenda thinks it's an odd pairing, but
Sonny thinks they belong together.  He thinks, re: Ned, that Lois got the
best part of the deal.

Brenda has a little surprise for Sonny.
[Your Fearless Updater stayed awake for this. It wasn't easy.]

2. A Lot to Hide

Mac and Alan come into the Quartermaine living room with Jason.  Edward
complains about Jason, but he wanted to see Emily.  Alan finds out that
Monica told Emily about Dorman's death, and he's sorry.  Edward agrees:
"There's nothing wrong with controlling information --- if you do it, do
it competently."  Alan goes to see Emily.  Edward huffs at Jason: "Tell
me you didn't knock off a liquor store on the way here!"  Jason proves
he's learned to stretch the literal truth (so he's back on the suspect list!)
"Nope.  A bank."  "Eh?" Edward harrumphs.

Ned and Mac talk.  Mac doesn't want to see Jason railroaded.  The
doorbell rings.  It's Alexis.  She is there to offer  advice.  As hostile
counsel (for the hospital) she can't formally but will informally.  She
tells Ned the rumors about Monica holding Dorman in a motel room and
torturing him.  Ned decides to take her to the Port Charles Grille, and
they leave.

Mac and Monica and Alan talk, with Jason overhearing.  Alan: "Whoever
wiped out that bastard deserves a medal."  Mac warns Alan to watch what
he says.  Alan gets mad and storms off.  Jason and Monica talk about
Emily.  Then Mac warns Monica that the motel story will come out.

Monica, in Em's room, tries to get her to eat.  Emily is not hungry.
Alan comes in.  Emily is worried that Mac is there.  They leave.  Monica
is worried that Mac is telling about Dorman.  Emily spills jelly on her
sleeve and flashes back to Monica's bloody sleeve.  She heads to the
door, but Jason is there.  Jason asks if she's feeling better.  They talk.
"What makes a peron kill somebody?"  She feels responsible.  Dorman died
on the same day Paige did.

Jason leaves and Emily goes looking for the bloody blouse.  She finds it
in the hamper, and covers it up again and runs off.  Later she feigns
sleep, Monica tucks her in, and then she opens her eyes and looks troubled.

At the Police Station, Taggert and Garcia talk about the scalpel.  They
theorize it was an unplanned killing.  They do have a clue, a button.

Alan goes into the library, and sits with his head in his hands.  He gets
out his pills and takes one.  Edward comments on his missing button: "You
are the chief of staff of a hospital that makes the Titanic look like a
pleasure cruise.  The least you could do is dress like you knew what you
were doing."

Taggert goes to the Quartermaines.  He needs statements from Alan and
Monica --- and Emily.  Monica says Emily is asleep.  Emily says "Mom?"
and comes downstairs.

Ned and Alexis are at the PCGrille.  Ned asks "The usual?" and orders
club sodas with a twist of lime.  Alexis: "I didn't even realize we had a
usual."  "Well, these things creep up on you.  Have I told you you look
lovely?"  "No, but go ahead."  [Your Fearless Updater will put up with S&B
in order to get scenes like this!]  Alexis tells Ned: "Murder really
brings out the flirt in you."  She has a theory, and he tells her: "Do
you know that your eyes dance when you hypothesize?"  "Do you know that
you come on to me when you're trying to get me off track?"  "You have a
truly devious mind."  "Takes one to know one."

They don't approve of Sonny and Brenda.  Ned asks: "Where were we?"
Alexis  responds: Somewhere between the Suspicion Salad and a Deadly Dose
of Coffee?"  "Very good.  You should write mysteries." "And you should
stay out of them.... Try as you will, and I love the way you do, I can
see right through you.  You're hiding something."

3. Too Boring For a Heading

Katherine and Nik are in the gym, discussing the Nurses Ball and Stefan.
Nik leaves for a moment, and Jax comes in and tells Katherine he is
sponsoring the Nurses' Ball.  He wants to match Sonny's wing with another
wing dealing with substance abuse.  [Your Fearless Updater is glad not to
be the architect for all these extra wings and things.]  She thanks him
for setting a good example by letting go and walking away with head held
high.  Nik comes back, Jax leaves, and Katherine is so excited about the
money for the NB (then why is she involved at all?) that she starts to walk.
She tells Nik to keep it a secret.

4. Cupid's Arrow Strikes.

Lucky comes up to Amy.  He's there to volunteer.  Turns out, of course,
it's mandatory for school, Spensers don't give their time freely if not
required.  [Laura married into the family!] A pretty girl comes by.  It's
Sarah Webber!  Amy introduces herself and Lucky and they discuss who is
related to whom.  Sarah will move into Audrey's house and take care of
her.  Sarah and Amy go to see grandma Audrey, who is still unconscious.

Sarah is setting up the room, talking to Audrey, and Nik comes by and is
smitten and eavesdrops till she cusses him out for it.

Lucky comes by with sodas.  Amy tells him they've gone to get another test.
They talk about Sarah, but Lucky disclaims all interest.  Amy sees right
through him.

Jax stands in the hospital morgue looking at the chalk outline.  Jason
sees him leave and goes into the morgue himself.
