      _______________________________________________________

Scene 1
Jax waits while Brenda paces feverously as the doctors review her case to
determine if she's a wacko.
Scene 2
Lucky peers in on Nikolas until Lizzie shows up and suggests they look for
Sarah.
Scene 3
Stephan comes to visit Nikolas saying he wants Nik to come home and be tutored
again, but the Nik-ster wants to keep hanging with the homeboys back at PC
High.
Scene 4
Luke appears at Alexis' door with an audio tape of her alleged mother singing.
Scene 5
AJ comes to see Carly at Jason's and insists he can prove she's lying about the
baby. He'll just ask Jason point blank [bad choice of words around Jason].
Scene 6
Sarah blows off Lizzie and Lucky to rush to see Nik when he asks to see her.
Liz chides Lucky for refusing to admit he's broken hearted over Sarah's choice
of Nikolas over him.
Scene 7
Jax tries to reassure Brenda they won't commit her since they need Julia's
approval, and she can't be found.  Brenda is called in to see the doctoral
inquisition. They ask her to describe what happened at the photo shoot and
whether she feels she's in control now. As the questioning continues, Brenda
begins to zone out.
Scene 8
Sarah visits Nik until his funcle, i.e. father/uncle and blond bimbo appear.
When Stephan asks if there's anything else he would like, Nikolas scribbles out
a request, but Stephan emphatically says, "No, never."
Scene 9
Alexis asks where Luke got the tape, but he just answers enigmatically, "I have
friends."  She wants to know what he wants from her in return.
Scene 10
At Jason's, AJ and Carly argue over the baby. She says Jason knows everything
including how she drugged AJ, but he doesn't care.  Jason arrives and asks what
AJ is doing there. AJ tells him when the baby is born if it's his, he'll sue
for custody [Oh, ya, an alcoholic with a history of drunken driving].
Scene 11
Luke tells Alexis he doesn't want anything, now. She replies she won't ever
betray Stephan. When Luke wants to play the tape, she asks to be able to listen
in private; he agrees and leaves.
Scene 12
Nik and Daddy-Uncle disagree strenuously over his still unrevealed request.
Scene 13
Sarah and Katy banter blondly about Nikolas. Kate says Stephan will most likely
let Sarah visit Nikolas at home [How nice of him].
Scene 14
When the docs finish with their questions, they ask that Brenda be escorted
back to her room while they confer [bad sign]. As she's going, she sees Julia
and Jax chatting while filling out a form, Fearing Julia is having her
committed, Brenda makes a mad dash for the stairway leaving Jax behind. The
attendants catch her on the stairs and restrain her, screaming.
Scene 15
AJ tries to get Jason to turn against Carly with his tale of how she mistreated
him, but Jason says while he doesn't agree with the stupid and desperate things
Carly did to AJ, they are in the past.  As far as he's concerned, it's Carly's
baby, and he's going to help her.
Scene 16
Lucky walks Lizzie and Sarah out of GH while he contemplates seeing Nikolas.
Alexis shows up and begs to see Nikolas, but Stephan refuses and orders her out
of GH. His Golden Harpie gets in a few nips as well.
Scene 17
Lucky reluctantly goes to see Nikolas who indicates he knows it's Laura's
birthday. Lucky tells him she hasn't asked about him since neither Stephan nor
they have told her. As Lucky presses him for some other message, Nikolas,
seemingly upset, forcibly chokes out "her not need?"  When Lucky doesn't
understand, Nikolas gets more visibly distressed and seems to be having trouble
breathing worrying Lucky over his condition.
Scene 18
Alexis returns her room and hears the tape of her mother playing.  At first,
she assumes it's Luke again, but the desk chair slowly turns, and Alexis gasps,
"Helena."
Scene 19
When AJ tells Jason the father of the baby is either Tony or he, so why can't
Jason just accept it, he is surprised when Jason replies, "because I don't
agree with it."
Scene 20
Jax and Julia demand to know where Brenda is. When the doctor says basically to
a padded cell, Jax makes his usual threats to buy this or ruin that [yawn].
Scene 21
An ashen-faced Brenda sits staring blankly on a bed in a barren room in stark
contrast to the glamorous look of the photo shoot we saw last week.
