UPDATE THURSDAY OCTOBER 2

Your Fearless Updater's tape ran out on the last 20 minutes, but I read
the TV Guide update, and don't appear to have missed anything spectacular.
[A number of snide comments about the last year of Thursdays skipped: you
all know what I would say anyway!]

1. THE CLAWS FLASH, SORTA

Lois introduces herself to Alexis and rescues BrookLynn.  She wants to
know if Alexis got to know Ned in the courtroom while defending Monica.
For once, Alexis is a bit embarrassed.  Lois wants to know if Alexis is
at the Quartermaines "legally" and Alexis assures her she's not there
ILlegally.  Lois figures she and Ned have a lot in common, both being the
keepers of the skeletons in the closet.  Alexis really prefers "gatekeeper"!
Lois asks if Ned and Alexis are stepping out.  Emily comes in to take the
baby for a walk, and Alexis makes her escape.

Emily wishes Lois could stay longer.  Emily feels all inbetween grownup
and child.  She apologizes to Lois for the diary and Lois assures her the
breakup wasn't her fault.  Lois tells Emily to concentrate on what we CAN
be.  Emily leaves and Lois looks around.  Lila tells her that Emily is
supervising Edward.  Lois asks Lila about Ned and Alexis.

2. TIS A FAR FAR BETTER THING... OH, WAIT, WRONG BOOK

Sarah has no idea where the test answers came from.  Mr. Murty tells her
to leave.  Nik then stands up and claims he took them, and he also
borrowed Sarah's pen.  Murty sends him off and gives the test.

3. BOTH FELICIA AND V STUDY UP

V. is at the Outback on the phone when Felicia bubbles up to the bar.
Felicia is looking for a package from Port Charles University
anthropology department.  She's sent pictures of the doll and is hoping
for some information.  [Why didn't she just pop over in person?]  Mac is
surprised she's that serious.  Felicia regards his comment as
"condescending" and huffs off.

V. flashes back to Jax and the pictures she drew.  Mac tries to get her
attention.

Felicia sulks back in and mac apologizes.  Felicia says she doesn't like
being patronized when she's thinking about her Aztec roots. [Your
Fearless Updater, having read the book, wonders when F. will plunge the
stone knife into Maxie! YFU is not too sure about Aztec roots, in fact.]
Mac has the package.

V. asks for a bottle of champagne to seal a deal she and Jax are working
on with someone.  She asks Mac about Jax in Australia.  (Meanwhile, Jax
is besotted with BrainDead.  Grumble.)

Felicia remarks that the doll could be Hopi or Zuni, not Apache, but it
was buried by someone else.

Lonnie goes to see Mariah in Texas.  He is looking for the doll.

Jax finally makes it to the Outback, and V is sketching.

4. IF I CAN'T HAVE MY MAN, ANY MAN WILL DO

Jax greets Brenda at the Gatehouse.  She tells him about Lois.  She says
she's (Brenda) there to hide from the Quartermaines.  He invites her to
the movies.  She doesn't feel like going anywhere.  He's actually brought
the movies to her.  He has, he says, a documentary about the demise of
the rain forest, or maybe she's like to see the uncut version of
"Alexander at Neskie"[?] or there's also the entire BBC version of "Bleak
House." [Your Fearless Updater would like to see that!]

Brenda bursts out laughing.  Jax brings in a popcorn amchine, soda
machine, candy stand.  This is the Brenda Bijou.  He's put together some
old silents and some 3D shorts.  He hands her the 3D glasses.  "You
aren't staying?" she begs.  [Poor V!]  She wants chocolate covered
raisins and lemon drops.

Brenda is crying.  The phone rings and it's V.  Jax isn't going to the
meeting, but Brenda argues, telling him not to insult her by coddling
her.  He leaves and runs into Lois.  They discuss Brenda, who is sitting
in the dark, miserable, letting the movie wash over her.
