If you missed this show, you didn't miss much.

Katherine closes the humongous doors of Serenity and remarks
to the caretaker "Funny, this place always reminds me of home."
(updater's note: Funny, I thought the place was her home.) Gives
him a sad short tale of her life in PC, and wanders off to the kitchen
where her mother worked.

While she was away, the caretaker answered a knock at the door;
it was Stefan. Said he's looking for Miss Bell. Gave her description
and history. Caretaker said nope, no one here but us decrepit
old men, but Stefan didn't buy it, and attempted to loosen the
fellow's memory with a large denomination bill. The caretaker
still claimed not to have seen her, and invited Stefan to explore
the grounds. Cassadine leaves, and Kat re-enters the scene
(the caretaker pocketed the note, BTW) remarking on the
changes since her mother's day. She asked him if someone
arrived earlier, but he told her it was someone looking for
directions.

She told the caretaker a little bit about her situation, broken
heart and all, and blamed the whole thing on Stef's "jealous
little viper" cousin. She then named

Mike found his way to Brenda's doorstep and invited her to the
Scanlon family Thanksgiving dinner soiree. Brenda declined,
and they started to talk about the Sonny factor in their relationship.
Brenda tried to reassure him that he's more than the father
of the man who jilted her, filled him in on her doings, and
promised to keep in touch with him. She mentioned the possibility
of spending the holiday in Europe.

As Mike left, he asked Brenda to give his love to Robin. Jax,
who was just arriving heard this and quizzed.

Bren asked Jax for his opinion on all the changes she made
to the house. His words: "when you're right, you're right,"
then steered the conversation back to the holiday & going
to Europe. She admitted that it was something she told Mike
to escape dinner at the Scanlons, but Jax offered to take
her for real. She turned him down, and instead invited him
to a homecooked by Brenda Barrett, Thanksgiving meal. Jax
expressed doubts that she'd be able to carry it off, but
accepted. Brenda nixed the idea of a contingency plan.

Jason, at his/Sonny's penthouse, was chafing at his bodyguard,
ordering him to take the night off.

....Meanwhile, in France....

A mature looking Robin enters her room and sits down
to write a letter to the mobster she left behind. In it, she
expresses a wish to be back in Puerto Chuck, then imagines
reuniting with Jason, on the bridge. He tells her he knew
she was lying when she (in real PC time) encouraged him
to get on with his life and not wait around for her return.
They hop on his motorbike....

After writing another passage, Robin's imagination flew
away to Mac. She visited him as he was shutting down the Outback,
and expressed doubts - that Paris wasn't all it's cracked up to
be. Mac told her she should come home if that's what she
wants, and that she shouldn't stay in gay Paree just to
please him. What he wasn't hot about was the idea of Robin
getting back with Jason, and questioned Jason's worthiness.
The man in question materialized and Mac grilled him, but
eventually gave in and told Robin he'd accept Jason if he had
to....

Next up: Robin lead Jason to the Qs for Thanksgiving. They
argued like an old married couple for a minute, then
were greeted by Lila and Emily. The fantasy was off to a
great start, but then Edward blustered in and Robin, who
I don't think ever got to witness a genuine Quartermaine
Family Olympic, imagined it almost perfectly (it wasn't as
funny as a real Q-fest), fireworks included....

Eventually, she imagined them back on the bridge, where
Jason told he he quit and was now out of the organization.
She vowed to never leave him again....

Closing music montage:

Stefan lurked outside Serenity; Jax and Brenda returned from
the grocery store and did some food-prep; Jason turned the
lights out and went out to his balcony, and Robin made coffee
and went to look out her own window.
