My apologies for being so very delayed.  I'm working on doing this in
a much more timely manner... hang in there, I'll get it!

In the opening scene we see Carly and Tony in bed.  She's dreaming and
appears to wake up and tell Tony how happy she is.  When she rolls
over to kiss him, she is shocked to see AJ lying next to her.  She
wakes up with a start, then hears someone knocking at the door.
Apparently Tony invited AJ over for breakfast and then overslept.
Tony wakes up and apologizes to AJ for being late and gets to work on
breakfast while Carly goes to get ready for work.

At Windemere Stefan thanks Alexis for thinking to alert him to
Bobbie's possible plan.  They wonder how much Luke knows about their
dastardly plan (do we know that plan IS by the way?  I have lost
track.)  Stefan is confident that Luke wasn't able to open the Faberge
egg because he only has access to one medallion, Laura's.  Alexis
mentions seeing Bobbie in the medicine closet and Stefan calls Bobbie
stupid for not appreciating everything he had to offer her.   Stefan
says that Luke's dupe will regret betraying the Cassadine's.  Nikolas
comes downstairs and asks where Bobbie is.

Next we see Bobbie drinking coffee in the Spencer's living room.  She
and Luke engage in small talk about how Lucas enjoyed staying at
Ruby's - Luke says that "Ruby always did know how to show a guy a good
time."  (Only Luke Spencer could say something like this and sound
charming as opposed insulting!  He's so cool.)  Bobbie is feeling
badly over the mistake that she's made and how it will effect Lucas.
Luke tries to comfort her; she says she smells burnt toast.  Luke runs
cursing into the kitchen and comes back to report that those were the
last two pieces of bread, and all that's left in the fridge is
leftover Thai food or two day old tacos.   Bobbie thanks Luke for
taking such good care of her, and most of all for not saying "I told
you so".  He tells her that he admires her for being strong enough to
take a good look at the mistake she made and take steps to correct it.
She laments that the stakes have gone up now that Stefan is on to
them.  Luke isn't worried, he says the most important thing is that
she's out of "Dr. Death's" reach now.  Lucky comes downstairs and is
delighted to hear that Bobbie and Lucas will be staying with them for
awhile and deduces that she must have gotten caught by Stefan.  Luke
says that Stefan is "one unhappy Gargoyle this morning - who's for
Thai food?!".  Lucky pulls Luke out of Bobbie's earshot to tell him
that the WSB called and they got the copy that Luke sent them and
would be sending over a possible fix that afternoon.  They do a little
song and dance about Lucky wanting to borrow money so as not to make
Bobbie suspicious.  Lucky asks if she should stay home to help rather
than go to his first day as a peer counselor at GH. Luke assures him
that he'll call if he needs help.  Luke returns to the living room
where Bobbie is lost in her thoughts, beating herself up again and
feeling badly that the people she loves will also have to pay for her
mistakes this time.  She says she feels terrible about Nik and wonders
what lies Stefan will tell him.  Luke reminds her that she cannot tell
Nik what's going on; in reply to her protestations that Nik isn't like
Stefan Luke replies that Nik is "sitting on bench" and not to be taken
in by his "big brown shifty eyes".

At Windemere Stefan tells Nik that Bobbie and Lucas have left
Windemere.  When asked why she would leave, Stefan pretends that he
doesn't want to tell Nik about Bobbie drugging him but Alexis protests
that Nik isn't a child anymore and he deserves to know what's going
on.  Nikolas can't believe what they've told him and goes off to find
Bobbie in hopes of getting an explanation for why she would turn on
them.  Alexis is concerned about Nik getting hurt again, but Stefan
feels that the sooner he confronts Bobbie and she tells him that she
did drug him etc., the better for him in the long run.

AJ and Tony are making small talk over breakfast about AJ's job at GH,
including a comment about how the interns come in their a lot to work
off stress.  This comment leads to the stress likely caused by Dorman
dying at the hospital, which then leads to thoughts of Emily.  AJ
tells Tony that he sees her as often as he can, away from the Q's as
being there makes him feel like drinking again.  He tells Tony that he
understands it's hard for people to have faith in his sobriety,
including himself, but that if he ever falls off the wagon again he's
going right to rehab.  Tony says that he thinks AJ is doing great and
doesn't think that's going to happen.  Then Carly comes out, dressed
for work and she and Tony act all lovey dovey, joking about what they
like about each other.  AJ looks on longingly at the couple.  Tony
walks her to the door and reminds him about their agreement not to
tell anyone that she's pregnant.

Alexis and Stefan are still discussing Bobbie and how the situation
will impact on Nikolas.  Stefan diffuses all of Alexis's concerns
about what Bobbie will do.  Stefan says that Bobbie has mistaken his
"generosity for weakness, an error that will cost her dearly."

Bobbie arrives at the hospital and apologizes to Amy for being late.
Amy says they switched the schedule so Bobbie has a little time before
she has to be in class.  Amy makes a comment about how it must be hard
to leave her cush life at Windemere to come back to work.

Sarah and Audrey arrive.  Amy fawns all over Audrey and Audrey insists
she's only back to get her mail and take it easy getting back into the
swing of things. Amy says how great it is that Sarah is taking such
good care of Audrey and assumes she's there just to babysit Audrey and
offers to entertain her while Audrey is working.  Sarah tells her that
she's actually there to work with the children and asks if there is a
packet for her, which Amy appears to know all about (apparently she
had temporary amnesia when she though Sarah needed entertaining for
the afternoon) and gets it for her.

Bobbie rushes over to Audrey and tells her how great she looks and how
nice it is to have her back at GH.  Audrey graciously thanks Bobbie
for saving her life, and Bobbie says she's just glad something good
happened that day. Bobbie excuses herself and runs into Nikolas just
coming off the elevator.  Nik hurriedly tells her Stefan's story
waiting for her to step in and provide an explanation at any minute,
when he notices she's not denying it, he gets angry.  He says some
mean things, asking how Luke reeled her in this time, making her
betray her husband and family.  He says that she'd probably drug him
if Luke told her to.  She protests, but he continues railing at her.
He says if she didn't get caught she'd still be there spying on his
family.  He says she's more like Laura than he realized, their only
loyalty is to Luke.  She begs him to be open minded, tells him that
she can't tell him the whole story right now.  As Nikolas storms off,
she sees Stefan lurking around the nurses station, no doubt having
overheard the conversation.

Lucky enters the peer counseling room to find Sarah reading the
volunteer handbook.  Sarah and Lucky make small talk and Lucky
mentions Lulu, and tells a cute story about her.  Sarah says she can
see how much he cares about his sister and asks where she is.  Lucky
says she's in Switzerland with his Mom. Sarah asks why and Lucky
changes the subject by challenging her to a video game.

Alexis expresses her concern to Stefan that Nikolas loses in this
situation no matter who he believes.  Stefan assures her that Nikolas
will stand by the family.  Stefan says he regrets ever encouraging Nik
to trust Bobbie.  He tells Alexis that he wants his divorce to go
through immediately.  Alexis says that Bobbie made that situation even
easier for Stefan by stealing those drugs from GH.  Stefan says she'll
live to regret that.

Back at the breakfast scene, AJ thanks a sheepish Tony for believing
in him and helping him out so much.  Tony says in his best 'aw shucks'
kind of way that he is glad to have AJ around to keep Carly company
and all.  As Tony heads off to the shower AJ makes his way to the door
but bumps into a coffee table and sees a brochure entitled "My
Pregnancy" (or something to that effect).

At the GH gym Tony shows up to gush over Carly and tell her how proud
he is of her and her new attitude as a responsible citizen.  She tells
him that losing him shook her to her soul and she doesn't ever want to
face that again.  When Tony assures that "we all make mistakes" a
flashback of her drunken liason with AJ (the new AJ that is…) "it's
what we learn from them that counts".

Luke got the package he was expecting from the WSB.

Stefan pays his respects to Audrey and tells her that he is anxious
for her to be back to work full time at GH.  He excuses Amy and then
calls Tony, who just happened to be walking by, Audrey and Bobbie into
a little huddle.  He announces that some drugs have turned up missing
from the medicine room and says it appears to be the dastardly work of
a wayward staff member.  He asks Audrey if she might take the
responsibility of heading up this investigation.  He assures them that
he plans to press charges.

Back in the children's play room Sarah and Lucky are in hot
competition; but Lucky wins.  In the middle of one heck of a rant
about his victory Nikolas walks in and he and Lucky exchange the usual
hostilities - this time resulting in the news that Nikolas is in
charge of the peer program.

AJ tells Carly that he knows she's pregnant.  The camera focuses in on
her worried face.

Stefan excuses the drug committee and Bobbie informs him that she
knows what he's trying to do to her.  They exchange some mean words -
Bobbie "this hospital is my life's work and I won't let you force me
out".  Stefan  assures her this is only child's play and that he's
just begun.  Bobbie looks frightened, but that Spencer determination
still ever-present.

End with Luke interpreting the information he received from the WSB.
