my apologies over the ones still late in coming. an update enema is on the way

While Sarah was busy setting Nikolas straight re: her friendship with Lucky,
Elizabitch was trying to throw her 98 lbs around to get into the volunteer
program (so she could better stalk Lucky), pleading her case to Audrey.
As Stefan entered the conversation, Lizzie gave him the brush-off before
she found out who he was. Oops.

After Elizabeth wandered away and she'd finished talking to Stefan about
the courtship of Nik & Sarah, Audrey confessed to Bobbie that she wasn't
entirely hot on the idea that, considering that Nik's uncle may have been
indirectly responsible for the death of Sarah's grandfather. Bobbie tried
to reassure her, by way of saying there's no proof of it.

Back in the rec room, Nik & Sarah bonded over his memories of childhood
the Cassadine way, and they set up a date. Elizabeth reappeared, this
time with a little sugar, well, saccharine, and got Nik to at least consider
letting her into the program.

Later, Nik informed his uncle that he would consider moving back to
Spoon Island, under conditions, the main one being that he could drop
the tutors and attend Port Charles High.

At the Q's, the family was in a quandry over what to do, what to do, what to
do about AJs fall. Eventually, half the tribe started ganging up on gatekeeper
Ned and his control issues. Even Monica brushed him off.

Later, Brenda stopped by to tell everyone about her engagement. Everyone
said congrats, we know you and Jax will be very happy. After they found out
that the groom would be Sonny, they eventually came around. Or at least
pretended to. Ned saw her out, then got yet more flack on his AJ position.
While the family was discussing the subject, Emily walked in and finally
was informed.

As for AJ, he started the day w/a visit from his nemesis/psychic twin Carly.
With AJ going thru the perpetual motions of "how could I..." and other self
loathing quips, Carly reminded him of his pledge to check himself into a
rehab far, far, far away from Port Charles should he slip again. He left for
work.

Out in the hall, Carly bumped into Jimmy, who was being a brat, demanding
his gum for keeping quiet about her after hours laundry activity. With
pockets empty of gum, Carly pulled out a fiver and more or less said "beat
it, kid."

At the hospital, Keesha was starting her first day as an assistant social
worker; after seeing an icy scene between Alans Sr & Jr, she got the poop
from Jr. She was surprised, she said, especially since AJ'd been on such
an upswing. While he recounted the details he didn't remember, Keesha
had an odd, far away look on her face.

At the Outback, Jax popped into to watch over V, who was finding out if
she still had a job. She didn't. Not because she was a bad cop, the commish
told her, but because of budget cuts. He then made poor V cough up half
the tab.

Mac talked Dara into performing at the club.

While Brenda was out, Mike dropped over at Sonny's and presented him
with a beautiful ring, that turned out to have been the engagement
ring he'd given to Sonny's mom. The story behind the ring was, after losing
his shirt at the track, a friend approached him with "a sure deal." So, to
raise the cash, Mike pawned his watch; but, as he was being handed the
cash, he spotted the ring and figured his woman was a "surer deal." Later,
when she remarried Deke, she gave the ring back to Mike. After holding onto
it the remaining years, Mike wanted Sonny to give the ring a second chance
at actually being a til-death-do-us-part ring by way of Brenda.

After Mike left, Brenda came back and Sonny went down on bended knee.
