One of Stefan's monkeys interupted his Lasha portrait-
gazing to inform him of Mistress Spencer's latest
whereabouts - the Outer Banks of N.C. - and pass
on that Helena may or may not have similar knowledge.
The monkey left, and Stefan spoke to the portrait about
penalties involved in returning, until Katherine
knocked on the wine cellar door.

He gave her a smooch and lied that he was in the cellar
looking for one of Nikolas' old storybooks, that maybe
Nik would like to read out loud. Kath reminded him that
he was against Nik pushing too hard. Well, he says, that
was before Nikolas spoke to me. Bad move - Katy
practically started frothing with excitement, wanting
to know what was said, when; Stef backtracked, said
it happened last week, and that he didn't mention it to
her because he didn't feel "obliged to tell" her.

This began A Discussion. A disagreement. And a little more
of Stefan's bull, as he suggested a fabulous menu for dinner -
at the guest house. She cooed. They went upstairs, and seeing
Nik, Stefan tried to rush him out of the house, ASAP.

When Nik and Stef arrived at the hospital, Grasshopper asked
his uncle what Bobbie had been doing at Wyndemere
the previous night, and was told his ex-step-aunt was
having family problems. Stef went off to attend to some
business, while Nik waited in the lounge.

Robin came up and introduced herself to him, and apologized,
on Jason's behalf, for his getting shot. After she breezed out
Stef reappeared and asked what she wanted - Nik shrugged.
Sarah wandered up to the nurses' station. They looked at each
other, looked away, and repeated.

Luke returned to his own darkened house to find Bobbie
sitting alone. When he asked her what was wrong and
she said "Lucky's dead," his expression froze. And when
she asked him how it felt, his jaw began to gradually
drop. She got up and started hitting him, he figured
out what was going on and claimed he was going to
break it to her if Carly hadn't.

Next, we got a recap on the storyline, through Bobbie's
eyes, and an analogy of how Californian's cope with
earthquakes. Denial. Bobbie asks Luke to just make
up another lie than death, the next time he to protect
her from someone.

In a stroll down memory lane, Bobbie spoke of how Luke
would play cards with her waiting customers - he said
he was trying to win as much as he could, so they'd have
no money to pay for her.

Luke pulled out a few more arguments - he couldn't tell
her right when she found out that Carly and Tony were
an item. But she flung it right back at him. He would
have told her about Michael, but Jason asked him to wait.
She flung that back at him too, and told him that she would
never get over her "protector's" betrayal, before leaving.

Luke rolled back the ans. machine tape and heard Virginia's
voice, telling him she was in town. Just then, Amy called,
with the news that Virginia had been hospitalized.

Luke's LOD: "Caroline is psychotic, not because you gave her
up for adoption, but because that was the only thing that
appealed to her on career day."

Carly was sleeping in the 10th floor lounge when Monica
wakened her, and in doctor speak that initially went over
her head, indicated that Virginia's situation was grave.
After blasting out Monica for not waking her earlier
and telling the neurologist about Mrs. B's previous stroke,
it sunk into Carly what was going on - she rushed into
the room, but her adopted mother's body lay covered.
The doctor came in and expressed sympathy, etc, but
when Monica came in with additional info, Carly
booted her out, and tearfully told her mother goodbye,
mixed in with a mea culpa or two.

Finally, when she left Virginia's room, she laughed
to find that Keesha had been her appointed social
worker, and blew her off. Keesha tried to follow and
push literature on her quarry, 'til Carly expressed a
desire to see her burn in hell. Next, upon seeing Tony
discussing the case with Monica, Carly accused him
of being responsible for the stroke that killed her
mother.

The scene that followed was of two people denying
any responsibility for their actions, pre or post
affair. She left him and started to get in the
elevator, but Uncle Luke was getting off. Luke
ended up, if anything, expressing support of her,
and re-pronouncing her "family." He offered his
help in making arrangements, but Carly ended up
snarling at him, as well.

At Brenda's, she and Robin had breakfast, or discussed the
idea of it, anyway, and Bren whined about how much she
really wanted to call Jax all these times, but stopped
herself, and then went on to the subject of Ashley,
showing her jealousy in the process. Then, Brenda left
to go on her first post-breakdown modeling gig, but
wouldn't tell Robin where or what it was.

When we later saw Robin at the hospital, she was wearing
Brenda's coat - and pulled out a flyer for an auto show.

Which happened to be Bren's modeling job - Genie Motors
(nicely done, PTB), in a ridiculous genie costume.

As customers filed in, one of them asked Brenda if she'd
seen her before, in some other ad campaign; Bren made a
joke, laughed loudly at it, and brushed it off. The
customers filed off to the sales geek, and Brenda saw
Robin, waiting there for her.

Bobbie arrived at the hospital and was informed by Monica
about Virgina; then she approached Tony and after initiating
conversation, asked "What's a little incest between friends?"
