===========================================================================
Luke meets with KatyBell-the-Sausage-Queen (she looked like a bloodwurst in
that dress) at the PC Hotel Grille for their "very public" date that is
supposedly going to make Stef crazy.  Luke plans to tape record Kath telling
him that Stef plugged her.  The evening progresses, but Luke never gets the
goods on tape after she asks "Is that a tape player in your pocket or are your
just happy to  see me?"  At another table in the dining room are Stef and
Alexis.  They are celebrating their victory over ELQ Jakarta and with them is
Elliott, their employee who engineered the deal. Elliott is chortling about
sticking it to Ned Ashton; Alexis gets more and more uncomfortable as Elliott
disses her man.  She sees Stef ogling Kath and wants to go home.  Eventually,
she and Elliott both leave but Stef wants to stay.  Katherine goes out to the
terrace and Luke subsequently leaves the Grille.  Stef brings her coat and
talks to Kath outside.  She is surprised when he tells her the Cassadines are
heading back to Greece.  She wants to know whose idea is was to leave the
country.  Stef tells her Alexis thinks it would be best to go back.  She
smiles knowingly and tells Stef to give Alexis a message from her.  She says
to tell Alexis "congratulations, you've won"; Stef is confused.  Katherine
looks at him pityingly and says "don't you know that your cousin is in love
with you?"   Then it dawns on Stef that if her statement is true, that could
have been Alexis' motivation to drive a wedge between him and Katherine.
Later on, he tells a minion over the phone to let the news go public about who
sabotaged ELQ Jakarta.  That should throw a spanner into the Alexis/Ned
romance.  Meanwhile, Alexis has returned home.  She opens the door to
Windemere and there's Ned the Dimplemeister sitting on the couch, grinning
like a fool.

Sarah makes Elizabeth confess to Mr. Murty about who really stole the test
papers. She spins him a "poor-little-Liz" tale first, though, and successfully
plays on his sympathy. The result is that Liz (and maybe Sarah) will have to
see a counselor. Nik's record will be cleared and the whole imbroglio will be
allowed to die down. Alone with Nik, Lizzie vows to get back at him. Jughead
is hurt and angry after he happens to see Veronica and Archie in a tender
embrace outside Kelly's.

Julia and Brenda go out to dinner together at the PC Hotel Grille. Julia is
shocked when she spies Luke; he's the spitting image of her onetime lover (and
murderer of Harlan Barrett) Bill Eckert.  Upstairs V and Jax share some
Chinese food over a working dinner, but V accuses him of giving out mixed
signals when he gives her a fortune cookie with a condom in it.
