===========================================================================

Those Wacky Quartermaines
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Quartermaine mansion, Alan and Monica are fighting over Emily.
Finally, Alan tells her that Emily told him Monica killed Dorman and
that's why the kid is freaked out all the time.

Nik and Sarah Connect / Emily has a Condiment Crisis
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At the waterfront party, Nik/Archie/Mickey arrives just in time to see
Sarah/Veronica/Minnie playfully flirting with Lucky/Jughead/Goofy.  Emily
gets razzed by some of her classmates, which upsets her, then she sees some
catsup and it reminds her of the blood on Monica's blouse. She wants to go
home and Keesha and Lucky take her. Lucky apologizes to Sarah for leaving
the party but she has seen the brooding Nik staring at her and she assures
Goof that she can find her own way home.  Sarah and Nik hook up and share
some stilted conversation before they dance.  And what a dance they have!
They do a wicked slow dance that leaves both of them breathless [whew! is it
hot in here all of a sudden?].  Soon thereafter Nik leaves the party. Sarah
goes home by herself but she is surprised by baby sister Elizabeth, dragging
on a cigarette and sitting on Audrey's front porch. Meanwhile Nik is prowling
the docks, after the party, and hears a sound. He whirls around, saying
"Sarah?" but is confronted by Unkie Stef.

Jason Chooses to Remain A Loser
Robin Splits for Paris (Is that the Eiffel Tower or ...?)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At GH, Jason accuses Robin of maneuvering Sonny into firing him so he and
Robin can have a "safe" life. They argue about his so-called career as a mob
go-fer. He says the only thing that gives his life meaning is his job [oh,
gee, thanks Pal!].  Finally, after way too many long, drawn out, blathering
blithering boring scenes in which they natter on endlessly about how his life
is with the mob and how she can't handle it, Robin and Jason finally part.
She's off to Gay Paree [hey, didn't Ear Jason lose his virginity in Paris with
K-K-K-Keesha?].  He lies in the hospital bed, doing a manly blubber, and Robin
stumbles down the hallway, doing a kind of pig-squeal crying.

J&V On the Rocks - Rescued and Off to Tiger Key
---------------------------------------------------------------------
V and Jax are on the verge of being rescued. Jax still plans to go to Tiger
Key. V says she's going to rat him out to their rescuers and drag him back to
Port Charles. [yawn] The rescuers arrive and start to question Jax why as to
why his plane was off course.

Ellie May and Rico Suave Meet the Opera-Lovin' Supreme Bad Guy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sonny and Brenda meet up with the Tin Man who is going to lead them to the
mystery man behind the scenes. Tin Man admits he killed Dorman.  S & B are
herded into a room by Tin Man. A figure in a wheelchair sits behind a desk
and we see Sonny and Brenda's expressions of confusion and horror over his
shoulder.
