Sorry this is late and short.  It is the result of the flu, losing
tapes and really not liking a lot of what happened that day.
But on the other had there were a few stellar spots.  So
I have graded the various 'threads' for your convenience

Dara and Justus have several long scenes in which their
relationship is discussed ad nauseam.   They basically admitted
they like each other quite a bit, argued over Jason and Justus
trying to 'bribe' Dara and then melted together for a kiss
that set them giggling and apparently made everything right.

Grade: C-, don't know what this was suppose to do but it didn't.

Bobbie and Lucky discuss Lizzie's rape and whether it is
right to keep it a secret.  Audrey comes up and enthuse about
how happy Lizzie was to go to the dance with Lucky and
how happy she [Audrey] was that Lizzie was safe with him
having fun.  Lucky's horror and guilt are palpable, and he
almost tells Audrey what happened but Bobbie steps in.
He leaves filled with disgust at himself.

Grade: A , well done all around.

Keesha lambastes Jason for leading Justus astray.  Jason gives
his typical, people do what they want---none of the responsibility
is mine---not my problem--whatever speech.

Grade: D-, seen it before, pointless

Edward lays the groundwork for future dealings with Carly.
Although she is suspicious she is lonely and he plays her
like a violin.  He cleverly offers her sympathy and friendship, and
leaves when Jason arrives.  Jason warns Carly about Edward all
over again, and Carly agrees with him absently.  Jason seems
well aware that Carly will do whatever she feels like and
there is nothing he can do about it.

Grade: B, good, solid effort-injected some much needed life

Lizzie huddles in her bed a lump of silent pain and misery.  Lucky
comes to the front door rings, knocks and calls out to her--begging
her to let him in, tense with worry, pleading.  She stays in her bed stoneyfaced
and suffering, it doesn't even seem that she hears Lucky, even though
his voice comes up clearly to her room---she is trapped in her pain, and notices
nothing around her.

Grade: A++++, I need a higher grade to give---absolutely incredible
scenes, breathtaking; this is why I watch GH, for work like this.

AJ rents out Kelly's to give Keesha a private birthday party.
They are back together I guess.  The actors have no chemistry
with each other at all and it seems rushed and forced.

Grade: F, once again Guza fails AJ, Warlock made this past summer
bearable, why can't Guza do something with him?

A heartfelt fare thee well to Kate, my old update partner,  and
a warm welcome to my new one who I don't know [yet] but I
believe is named Angela, right?  Here's to better Tuesdays!
