UPDATE THURSDAY AUGUST 28 [THE "WHY ME, OH LORD?" UPDATE]

Oh, goodie, three of Your Fearless Updater's favorite stories!

1. THE TEENS

Lizzie demands her eyeliner back.  Sarah says Lizzie took the last of her
shampoo.  They bicker about Nikolas.  Sarah leaves, and Audrey wonders
how Sarah puts up with Lizzie.  Sarah goes to the olde church.  Whaddaya
know, Nik comes up.  They talk about Steve.  They dance on the flowers.

At Kelly's Lucky comes in and Bobbie talks baby talk to him.  She tries
to find out what's bothering him, and what a surprise, he stonewalls.
Bobbie asks if it's Elizabeth, and Lucky says no, but he's reminded of
how he wasted a whole summer working for the Pompous Prince.  Bobbie
thought he enjoyed working pediatrics.  [Right.  He's a Spencer.
Altruism is not exactly his strong suit.]  Lucky says he hates Nikolas.
Bobbie tries to diffuse this.  Lucky says every time Laura sees Nikolas
she cries.  [Your Fearless Updater wants to comment that this is due,
mostly, to Luke and Lucky.]

Lizzie [Hey, it's another "L" name!] starts to come in, and overhears
Lucky tell Bobbie that Stefan killed Steve.

2. KAT AND BAT (Thank you, Allynn!)

Alexis pours tea for George the caretaker and Leo.  She prompts George,
telling him that it's important to Nik's future that Stefan hears what he
has to say.

Meanwhile, NIk, Stefan and Katherine are at lunch at the Port Charles
Grille.  Nik talks about being home.  He also says how difficult it is to
shop at Wyndhams.  Nik leaves.  Kat and Bat make arrangements to be
together that night.  She wants to be discreet.  He leaves.  As Katherine
leaves, she runs into Scott.  [WAAAAH!  Your Fearless Updater wants to get
Port Charles!] They exchange pleasantries.  They talk about Serena and
Dominique, and living with Kevin and Lucy.  Katherine says that in the
end, she wasn't after his money.  [Oh, I don't know.  Damian sure was.]

Stefan comes home and says hello to George and Leo.  George has secrets.
He's afraid of Helena.  There were secret tunnels and Kristin and Natasha
escaped.

3. SONNY AND BRENDA

Brenda is catching a cold and is late... for the Christmas campaign.
It's hard to leave everyone.  Joseph and Jason come to the door.  Sonny
want's Lucy's marketing report.  BrainDead asks why, not remembering that
she's not supposed to be asking questions and she wouldn't understand the
answer anyway.   Joseph will drive Brenda, and they leave.  Sonny tells
Jason he's getting out. He loves Brenda so much he can't think straight
and that's going to get them both killed.  He woke up on the yacht heading
to Florida with no idea how he got there.  He describes the whole stupid
caper: "Brenda as backup --- geeze."  Jason asks, "what about you?"  Sonny
claims he'll be happy.

Jason proves he's not stupid by thinking they'll need the marketing
report so they can go where Jax Cosmetics doesn't advertise.  Sonny asks
him to give them a month.  Fight or Run.  Sonny goves Jason the mob.
Jason wonders if he can get the respect.  Sonny tells him to use the
bodyguards and the car, and to be careful and smart and stay alert.

Brenda goes to the Outback.  Edward is pontificating at Ned, saying
Brenda is afraid to go to the Grille, she'll see Jax and realize she
ought to have her head examined.  [But Edward, they'd find nothing!]  She
comes up.  Edward asks her if she'll change her mind.  "Never.  Sonny is
the man I love, Edward."  [Yeah, and next month?]  "Then there's no
accounting for taste."  Ned pops in: "People say that to Grandmother all
the time."  "Eh?"

Brenda asks Edward to give her away.  He harrumphs and is pleased and
leaves.  Ned gripes.  HE is the best bride-giver-away-er in existence.
He can march rings around that old fool.  Brenda wants him for something
else.  She wants him to be her maid of honor.  She also wants him to buy
her share of L&B.  It was always Lois' business.  He says yes for
Brooke's sake.  She leaves.
