3/11

Please donÕt shoot me! I rerecorded part of the tape by accident. But
hereÕs what I
have:

As promised, Katherine presented the shower of all showers for Filly, and while
all were waiting for the bride, Robin went off to wrap a black, presumably
silky
thang - Nik walked in while she was holding it up to herself, about to fold it.
After mutual blushing ensued, she rejoined the party and Nik stumbled off.

Amusing interlude #2 - everyone thought KatybellÕs plumber was a Chippendale's
dancer. He had that - ÒI canÕt believe IÕm not in a margarine commercialÓ look
about him.

When Filly finally did arrive, the first thing she did announce that she
and Mac
*werenÕt* getting married after all. Of course, everyone chalked it up to
cold feet
and dismissed her from saying anything further. Next up: gift opening
time. This
time, it was Stiffen who walked in just in time to see Felicia holding up
one of
her new sweet nothings. A gift from Katherine, and he complimented KatÕs taste
with a remark that sounded like it was supposed to be laced with meaning, but
what that meaning was flew straight over my head. After the commercial break,
the conversation had moved onto his finding out about Amusing Interlude #2
(tell
the truth, FGC Stiffen - you were praying heÕd offer to perform that ritual for
Filly, werenÕt you) and congratulating the ambivalent bride-to-be.

As the party was breaking up, Nik arranged another CafŽ Matisse date with Robin.

Meanwhile, at the Outback, Tess told Mac/Jimmy she was going to be around to
watch over him and showed off her bartending skills.

When Felicia returned from the shower, Tess was behind the bar - at a look, she
explained that she needed a job and Mac, prince that he was, gave her one.
Mac/Jimmy pulled her aside and explained the situation.

At the QÕs, Ned and Edward started out voicing concerns over the lost
Michael, but
ended up dissing most of their household staffsÕ competency. When the
eventually
got back to the original subject, AJ waltzed in and laid the blame firmly on
JasonÕs bed.

The expected AJ/Ned bickering came next, with Ned defending Jason and AJ -
being AJ. In the end, AJ figured that A) Jason had a suspect in mind,  B) that
suspect was probably a fellow mobster, and C) Jason trusted Ned enough
that they
could filch out who the suspect was. He suggested the Qs go around JasonÕs back
and make their own deal. Ned told him to shove it. When AJ quit the room, Ned
explained his reasonÕs to Edward a little more calmly, not the least of
which was
that the police told them all to play business as usual. NedÕs usual, BTW,
meant a
European business trip for what sounded like "Shelf Unlimited." He begged his
Grandfather not to, and not to let AJ, do something stoopid. When Ned got three
steps out of the room, Edward muttered "YouÕre not in charge of this
family, yet."

Another Q, Alan, was zonked out cold on his GH office sofa when Amy came in,
saw a group of pills on the floor and shook him awake. Before she could run off
for help, he roused himself and begged her not to get anyone - said he was just
fine.

Amy recalled other times sheÕd seen him knocking back pills, or asleep
behind the
wheel of his car. Again, Alan pleaded, saying he was under all kinds of
pressure,
and no, no, no, he, Alan Quartermaine, was no addict. Just weathering a
crisis that
he couldnÕt tell Amy or anyone else about. She didnÕt want to hear it, and was
ready to march him down the hall to a counselor. So what does Alan do? Spill
everything, going against police orders to not speak of the kidnapping. He
hit all
the right buttons, and Amy promised her silence on both counts. After
seeing her
out of his office, he rifled though his desk to find a fresh vial of
AlanÕs little
helpers and split.

When he arrived home to a curious-as-to-his-whereabouts Monica, he fudged. She
came up to him for a hug, and Alan looked very, very old when his wife
reiterated
that keeping MichaelÕs kidnapping a secret was what was keeping him alive.

Post-shower, Robin went to the bridge, where she was approached by Helena.
Mama C. tried to express her "thanks" for helping Nikolas and wanted to
talk abut
how much they had in common, but Robin wanted none of it, announcing "I donÕt
know you, and I prefer not to." To her back, Mama shrugged "it's a start."
