UPDATE THURSDAY NOVEMBER 13

[There were a number of weather interruptions.  Something about
a tornado.  However, nowhere near enough!]

1. DR. JUNKIE

Alan downs his pills just in time as Monica, Bobbie and Amy burst in
with balloons, saying "welcome back to surgery!"  He's just observing,
he points out.  Amy asks about Andy Vining, so Alan has to recount his
made-up story.  Amy wants to meet Andy.  Maybe she could be Amy Vining
Vining.

Bobbie and Amy leave.  Monica tells Alan she's figured out what he's
keeping from her.  She's in awe of him, he does so much.  He's grateful
she doesn't judge him.  She tells him he's the bravest man she's ever
known.  He wants to know how long the surgery will be.  After she leaves,
he checks his pill supply.

The surgery turns into a bypass, and will be longer.  Alan panics and
doesn't want to scrub in. He needs a pill.

2. JIMMY-MAC, WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK? (THE "HUMOR" STORY)

Felicia calls Tess.  Mac comes up to her waving a white flag.  He's a
true-blue decent guy.  Mac wants in on the case.  [Pig!  She's doing
just fine.]  Tess comes in and cusses "Jimmy Mac" out.  Mac denies it.
He finally kisses Tess to prove he's not Jimmy.

After recovering, Tess sues for sexual battery.  [Well, I wish.]  No, I
lie, she apologizes.  A Carol comes up and accuses Mac of being "Dennis"
(the creep).  "Pucker up, lover boy" Felicia suggests.

Felicia says 70-30, Mac insists on 50-50.  [Pig, I repeat.] I guess this was
humorous repartee.  Ha.

3. JUST DO IT, ALREADY

Katherine sees Nik, reading, and asks him what it is.  He dismisses her.
She asks about Greece, and he's not going.  He has a very good reason to
stay here.  He tells Katherine he doubts they'll be friends.  The condom
box falls out of his backpack.  He tells Katherine not to give him the Talk.
[Your Fearless Updater is wishing for the tornado]  Nik didn't buy the
condoms; he figures it's a hint from Sarah.  Katherine suggests they
(Sarah and Nik) talk. [Where is a good tornado when you NEED one??]

Nik asks about Katherine and Stefan and is offended when she won't tell. Who
can blame him, she just discussed his sex life, but won't open up about her
"love" life.  He leaves.  Edward comes up and tells her she looks awful.
Katherine tells him she's thinking of leaving, too.

Sarah and Emily are at Kelly's.  Emily asks if they've had the Talk yet?
Sarah is too chicken.  They need to communicate, Emily says.  Emily owns
up to having had a crush on Nik and having kissed him.  Sarah thinks
she's too young [No kidding!]  Emily brings up Juliet, and Sarah points
out that Juliet didn't have SATs and prestigious colleges to worry about.
Emily asks, "so when are you going to see him next?"  In yet another
boffo minute, Nik walks in. Emily bolts.  Nik asks Sarah to spend some
time alone together.

4.  MERCY, MERCY!

Alexis sees Stefan at Mercy.  "What are you doing here?"  "Searching for
the truth," Sinister Stef says.  She's been having interviews with
Stanley O'Brien.  Stefan tells about some rumors he's heard about O'Brien
and claims that that is why he's there.  She wondered if he were looking
for George, and they discuss George as his sheeted body is rolled out.
She says she'll be happy not to spend so much time in hospitals: it's
starting to get to her.  [Your Fearless Updater is annoyed that Stefan buries
George under an assumed name and doesn't let his worried family, who
after all were not in on the "betrayal" even know that he'd died.]

Sister Mary Flanigan bubbles up.  Stefan manages to lie convincingly while
Sr. says she needs some paperwork.  After Alexis leaves, they discuss it.

Stefan looks at his Magic Computer.  Alexis comes in.  Stefan tells
Alexis he's grateful that she kept him from having an affair with his own
sister.  There's lots of double entendre.  "I will never, NEVER forget
what you've done.  Never."  Alexis knows something is up.
