UPDATE THURSDAY JULY 24

Flashback count: 3

1. I DON'T BELIEVE IN THOSE STARS ATOLL

On the "atoll", Officer Androwski got more firewood.  She's chattering
away, but Jax is asleep.  Later, Jax sees her sitting alone.  They talk,
she's obviously smitten.  They look at the stars, which are upside down in
Australia.  [Your Fearless Updater wants to see Orien on his head!]  He
points out the "lap top computer" and the AC Power Cord" constellations.
Will they be friends for life if they both see a shooting star?

2. TEEN TRIANGLE THINGIES

Audrey comes to talk to Sarah, offering her milk and cookies?  Brownies?
Fruit?  She's happy Sarah is there.  They tease each other.  Is Sarah
going to the barbeque?  Audrey suggests going with Emily.  Meanwhile,
Sarah daydreams about Nikolas. The doorbell rings.  Lo and behold, it's
Lucky.

Lucky tells Sarah about Switzerland.  Leslie is out hiking.  Audrey goes
to make popcorn, and Lucky asks Sarah to the barbeque.

At Katherine's, Nikolas asks Katherine if she's spoken to Stefan.  She
tells him she won't fight with Stefan?  [SOD's romantic couple of the week??
I Don't Think So!]  Nik is planning to move out, but KatyBlah talks him
into staying.  However, he's not going to the barbeque.  Katherine
threatens to take him as her guest.

Lucky takes photos to Bobbie and Amy and claims to have come home for the
patriotism of it.

Sarah gets off the phone to her dad.  Nik goes to see her.  He hems and
haws about the barbeque [Your Fearless Updater is suspending disbelief,
and actually sees Nik as a teen!  Tyler-the-actor is doing a good job!]
Sarah, unlike most soap teens, is actually a nice girl and tells him the
truth, that she's going with Lucky.

3. DUMB, TONY, REAL DUMB

Tony sees Bobbie.  He tells her he'll be there for her if she wants to
talk about Stefan.  He has something important he wants to tell her about
Carly and him.  She thinks maybe they;re having trouble, but Amy
interrupts.  Bobbie advises Tony on medication. [!!!!! I knew she was Really
Important to the show, but she's still a nurse and he's still a doctor,
right?]

Later, one nurse has left.  Tony invites Bobbie to dinner.  "Is this
something I'm going to like?"  "It's very important and Lucas is going to
LOVE it!"  [Your Fearless Updater is tearing her hair out about here.]
Bobbie is intrigued.

Amy tells Bobbie it's obvious Tony wants to get back together.

4. LIES, LIES

[Poor Carly! She brings it on herself, but YFU still wants her to be happy!]

AJ is at the door with Carly.  He's mad she lied to Keesha about his
still liking Keesha.  Carly can't help it, she keeps lying.  AJ wants to
know what's motivating her.  She tells him it's because of the night at
Jake's.  She claims AJ cried ober Keesha that night.  She says it's all
very embarrassing.  He backs off.  He's sorry to accuse her, especially
after she says she tuned out the sex stuff.

After he leaves, Carly remembers that night.

Tony goes home and talks to Carly about Keesha.  He teases her about the
Doppler stethoscope to hear the baby's heartbeat.  He can hardly wait to
tell the world.

AJ dreams about the night with Carly.  [Your Fearless Updater finds it
easier to feel for Billy Warlock's AJ.  Kanan's was always smug and not
vulnerable.  And as this story plays out, I think BW is an excellent choice.]
