UPDATE THURSDAY JANUARY 29

[Your Fearless Updater had a few weather-interruptions, but they
weren't too long.  The sun was shining here, though.]

1. Brenda Gets a Shock

[Your Fearless Updater is resisting the temptation to wish it had
been a fatal electric one.]

At Brenda's Mike is talking to Robin, telling her about the Christening.
Brenda comes in, and is surprised to see Mike.  She goes to the kitchen
with her groceries, and Mike tells Robin that Emily is the godmother, but
it's a secret. He leaves.

Brenda had answered the phone in the kitchen and it was V. telling her
that Jax's plane had gone down.  Brenda hyperventilates, but soon enough
Jax comes in.  He doesn't call V., despite YFU yelling at the TV.  Jerry had
decked him over Ashley.  Robin leaves for church and Jax comforts poor
upset Brender.

Brenda gets mushy.  [She did before her non-wedding to Jax, too.]  He
brought her a present, ice skates.  She's surprised when he leaves to
finally tell V. he's safe.

At the hotel bar, Ashley comes up to Jax.

2. A SPEED-DIAL TO GOD

Emily says goodbye to Monica, and tells her she loves her.  Monica thinks
this is odd so comments to the collected Quartermaines.  Maybe a "special
young man" is involved.  Monica wants to talk to A.J. who wants to
discuss returning to ELQ with Edward.  Edward wants favors from the City
Council. [What happened with the environmental impact report A.J. set in
motion?]  The phone rings, and it's Deenie's mother wondering if Deenie
is there.  Since Emily had said she was going to Deenie's, where IS she?

She's sneaking back into the house to recover her dress.  Ned comes
downstairs [Has he left the Gatehouse?] and sees her.  He'll keep her
secret if she will tell Jason he said hello.  He goes into the breakfast
room and she makes her escape.

The Qs figure out she's gone to Jason and will call, but there's Alan
conked out in a chair.  No one seems concerned.  After all, he works so hard.
Edward comments that he's doing "aerobic lounging."  They find out that
Jason's at a church, and once they got past virgin sacrifices, they
finally come up with the idea of a christening.  Edward storms around
about Godless Jason and Ned comments: "The Lord's not exactly on speed
dial in this house, either."

Sarah comes by.  Edward gets foxy and clever and pumps her for
information as to where Emily is.  The family is lurking behind the door
and reminding him of questions till Alan wakes up and refuses to shush.
Alan bullies Sarah into telling the name of the parish.  Edward complains
that it's Catholic, which annoys and confuses Your Fearless Updater. I
assume he's Episcopalian, and it's not that different.  Edward: "This
family is not going to stand by and watch Jason ruin that child's life!"
Monica: "That's right, that's OUR job!"  Edward harrumps off for Lila and
packs them all up.  Reginald brings coats for all, tossing Alan's to him.

3. THE BAPTISM BEGINS

Jason is soliloquizing to the baby at the church.  Then he talks to
Bobbie about his understanding of God and Heaven.  Mike tells Bobbie
about Sonny's Baptism, and Bobbie tells him about the daughter she gave
away.  The Priest comes in with Jason and says he understands God
"originally."  He wants Jason, Mike and Emily to come to religion classes.

Emily comes in.  Bobbie wants the bodyguards to be less conspicuous, but they
promise to blend in, and not to pat down the altar boys.  Emily thinks it's
funny that "Godless, soulless Jason" will be the one getting her to take
religioun classes.

Justus comes in to tell news about Moreno.  He gets invited to the
Baptism, and he wouldn't miss it for the world.  Bobbie has brought a
christening dress for the baby.   Then the Queen of Angels boys' choir
comes in.  Robin gets there and smiles at Jason.

[And Your Fearless Updater blew the taping of the next day.  Grumph!]
