                            By John R. Andrews, UIC

Scene 1
Luke and Bobbie discuss using Nikolas as a diversion to keep Stephan from
activating his program.
Scene 2
Alexis and Stephan talk about loyalty and personality changes. She once again
expresses her support for him.
Scene 3
As Jason talks on the phone outside a bar, the pony-tailed guy known as the
"Tin Man" takes aim on him, but at the last moment someone steps in the way,
and he is foiled, at least, temporarily.
Scene 4
Once again, Emily eavesdrops on Ned and Monica discussing Dorman's death and
Jason's temporary arrest. She hears them say, "Emily must never know the
truth."
Scene 5
Luke, using his computer, somehow manages to cancel Nikolas' pediatrics meeting
thus making him available to manipulate.
Scene 6
At GH, Bobbie and Nikolas jabber about trust and honesty.
Scene 7
Luke explains briefly to Lucky about what's going on while he breaks into
Stephan's computerized home security system using WSB supplied software.
Scene 8
Stephan and Alexis talk about the old days and the future. He says he plans to
return home and to take Nikolas and Katherine with him.  Just as the final
countdown begins, they hear a noise outside and call security. [I wonder who on
the writing staff thought up this dumb idea about having to supply a key phrase
within 45 seconds or the program aborts. Who would ever write a thing like that
into the program?]
Scene 9
Sarah Webber visits the Q's house to see Emily.
Scene 10
Jason returns to Robin's house, and they do their sickly sweet routine, then
Jason outlines his plans to find out who framed Brenda and prove it.
Scene 11
Luke tells Lucky that he remotely started a fire in the Cassadine's stables.
[How? Is that a menu option on the home security system?] Lucky is miffed that
Luke didn't include him in the latest plans.  Luke counters that he couldn't
find Lucky since he was out chasing Sarah. When Lucky has a minor tantrum, Luke
snaps, "This adolescent thing is a drag. Drop it." [I agree]
Scene 12
Nikolas and Bobbie continue to argue about her drugging Stephan; eventually, he
walks off and heads home.
Scene 13
While Alexis runs off to fight the stable fire, Stephan waits to begin the
world domination program. [What's he doing loading Windows NT?]
Scene 14
Alan and Monica discuss Emily. Alan is very suspicious that Ned and Monica are
hiding something, [duh, what else is new?] but Monica denies all as usual.
Scene 15
Robin and Jason play around imagining the future, while outside, the Tin Man
lurks hoping to cut that future short.
Scene 16
Bobbie visits Luke who tells her to go away and be seen to establish an alibi.
Scene 17
Stephan becomes increasingly agitated as the countdown continues.  Suddenly,
Nikolas bursts in yelling about the stable fire, but unbelievably to him,
Stephan remains fixated on his computer.  When the outraged Nikolas attempts to
get to the computer, Stephan pushes him away, and he falls hitting his head
leaving Stephan torn between helping Nikolas and world domination. [Nikolas is
sure lucky it's not my choice.]
Scene 18
Alan eavesdrops on Emily and Sarah as they chat about their respective
families. After Sarah leaves, Alan asks her right out why she told Sarah she's
afraid she might lose Monica.
Scene 19
Robin tries to teach Jason to dance. As they cavort around, a bullet shatters
the window but apparantly misses; however, a second one is targeted right at
Jason.

Tomorrow's Scene:
Stephan activates his gobal domination program, but just gets the message
"STEP IEBGENER FILE SYSPRINT NOT FOUND". [Does anyone out there get really this
joke?]
