UPDATE THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6

[4 flashbacks.  One is a montage of flashbacks.  Your
Fearless Updater had hoped that we were finally getting
past this.]

1. FOOL FELICIA OFTEN
Felicia looks at "Jimmy's" picture.  She has a flashback of
seeing it when Tess showed it to her.  Dara sees the picture and
thinks it's Mac.  She's come to tell Mac she has to stop singing
for a while because of a high-profile trial.  [Your Fearless
Updater likes the singing, but is very tired of the whole "will-she
wont-she" part of it.  Lois started her off, and that's how it should
have stayed. I guess we're supposed to be very impressed with BrainDead's
negotiating skills.  Yawn.]

Mac comes in.  His trip [to PC-the-show?  YFU is green with envy.]
was "not worth mentioning."  Dara comments on the picture.  Felicia gets
called away before she can show the picture to Mac.  Mac gives Dara her
fan mail.  When D. smiles, she's really very pretty, and YFU was really
in favor of the Mac-Dara pairing. I guess the Idiots In Charge are back to
the "quirky, cute" Mac-Felicia couple.  Blech. But I was doing an update...

Felicia comes back and asks Mac if he knows Tess.  He feels like he's at the
Mad Hatter's Tea Party.  [A feeling YFU has shared a lot over the past
few years!] Mac says the picture is not him.  Felicia doubts him.  Mac gets
annoyed.  Later, Tess calls and asks Felicia if she's found anything.
Felicia wants out of the case, but Tess won't let her quit.  She quotes
"Jimmy": "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."  That
being the case, Your Fearless Updater is Jimmy!  I've used that saying
many's the time.

2. DR. JUNKIE

Amy wants "her prescription" from Alan.  He thinks fast and tells her it's
really for an Andy Vining.  There was a ski accident, you see, and good-old-
Andy needs a pain pill.  It turns out Amy always goes to this drugstore
to read the tabloids.  She leaves, and Alan is relieved.

He gets back to the office and as he's counting pills, Monica comes in.
He snaps at her and then apologizes.  [This may be aberrant behavior in the
real world, but small wonder Monica doesn't notice anything in soap life:
they've acted weirdly for 20 years!]  Monica tells him to get back into
surgery while he's just dying to get back to the pills.  She knows a
specialist in Europe who could reverse nerve damage.  Alan hugs her,
with his body language screaming "Get Out!" [Has Your Fearless Updater
raved lately about how much she loves Alan??]

Monica suggests a romantic evening. He sends her off and finally can get
to his pills.  Alan has a flashback montage to the last "romantic evening"
when, well, things didn't exactly go as swimmingly as planned.  This time,
Monica and Alan have a good night.  He waits till he thinks she's asleep and
reaches for the Magic Bottle [YFU is gaga over those biceps!]  Monica says
"Alan?"  It turns out that she wants to go to a cabin or have a nice romantic
getaway.  He finally gets to gulp down the pills.

3.  TEDIOUS TEENS

Liz is dancing around.  Nik comes up.  He flashes back to finding the
condoms in the bag.  Liz doesn't hear the doorbell so he walks in, as no one
locks their door in Port Charles.  She discusses Sarah and how Nik and
Sarah are joined at the hip.  She says she thinks they've had a fight.
When Nik leaves, LIZ flashes back to planting the condoms.

Sarah and Emily come in.  Sarah and Liz bicker.  Emily decides to sit on
the porch.  Liz and Sarah bicker.  Finally Liz leaves and Emily asks
Sarah about Nikolas.  Sarah says she might have messed up the best thing
in her life.

Sarah and Emily discuss condoms and sex.  Sarah feels rushed.  Emily is
in a little over her head.  Sarah feels Nick is more sophisticated.
There's a honking outside: it's Emily's ride.  [Since when did Reginald
honk??] Liz comes back and Sarah and Liz discuss Nik.

4.  EVEN MORE TEDIOUS "ADULTS"

Jax is on the phone to Brenda who claims to want the "relator's" number.
He offers to come over, she says no.  He tells her to make hot chocolate, and
look! the Magic Jax has spirited everything she could need for that into the
kitchen!  She's surprised.

They pretend to be late night radio with WolfMan Jax and "Lost and Lonely in
Port Charles."  They talk about the non-anniversary.  [If Brenda plays her
cards right, she can have a non-anniversary every day of the year.]
Eventually, they don't hang up, but just put the phones down.  $$$ out
the window.
