UPDATE THURSDAY MARCH 19

1. Brenda Makes Her Move, and Mac and Felicia Get Busted

Felicia is at the bar, and Mac comes up to her.  Maxie and Georgie are
coming home [Maxie apparently doesn't go to  school] and so
they will probably have to find out about the "wedding."  Mac and Felicia
plan to keep it as lowkey as possible.

V and Jax come in.  Jax's list of possible killers is too long.  V has
looked up the dummy corporation that Tess called.  V tells Jax there are
no appointments.  She has cleared his calendar.  Brenda comes up, and it
was her idea, and she gives V the rest of the day off over Jax's protests.
She is taking him somewhere.  He guesses the Picasso exhibit [Yeah, right!]
or snowboarding or the movies.  Off they go onto a jet.  Jax objects to
Brenda spending money.  But it's not money, she explains, she's just
going to do her next photoshoot for free.  [Does the car dealer have any
idea how often Brenda bags on shoots?] Brenda asks if Jax thinks she is
still a little crazy.  [How could she be, since St. Lily cured her?]
Brenda slips into a gorgeous dress and has Jax's tux for him.  "I know,"
he guesses, "you're taking me to the Opera."  [Yeah, as I said, right!]

Meanwhile, back at the Outback, V warns Mac and Felicia about Tess
coming.  Tess still sounds jealous as they kiss: "You two really are
joined at the lips."  They discuss wedding dates, and in come Maxie and
Georgie, all excited!  Tess wants to know why the children didn't know.
Maxie is just thrilled about the "wedding."

2. A Winter Picnic

Robin and Nik are at the park with a take-out picnic of calamari, roasted
chicken and salmon, and chocolate eclairs.  He toasts her with lobster
bisque [To quote Lucas: "Yuck!"] "Although I've regained my speech, I
still don't have the words to thank you for helping me."  He apologizes
for Stefan's attempt to pay Robin off.

Tony is in the park with Lucas.  Bobbie calls because she's running late
handprinting babies.  Apparently Tony hasn't heard Edward's broadcast about
Michael, and this is the first inkling he has that he might be in trouble.
Tony tries to figure out what to do, and plans to take Lucas to ever-ready
Betty.  Lucas gripes that his dad doesn't love him any more.  He's leaving,
and even when he's there, he wants to be away.  As they leave the park they
see Robin and Nikolas.  Lucas runs up to Nikolas and informs him that he's
4'2" and 55 pounds.  Reverse SORAS will do that to you.  [He apparently
attends the same non-school as Maxie.]  Tony asks them if they can watch
Lucas, and leaves.  Nik plays with a funny voice with the little boy.  While
Lucas, having spurned the food, is off at the swings, Robin and Nikolas
talk about diabetes and HIV.

Tony comes back.  While Lucas is tugging his hat out of T's pocket, a
piece of paper drops out.  Robin calls after Tony, but he doesn't hear her.
Nik goes off for hot chocolate, and Robin looks at the paper, which is a
receipt for a bassinet and diapers and formula.  Robin, being a little more
clueful than almost anyone else on the show, figures out that Tony has
Michael.

3. Holding a Baby

Jason is back from Puerto Rico, but there's no news.  They fret at each
other.  He's going to bring in the police.  He doesn't mind jail if
Michael comes back.  Jason calls Taggart, who comes over.  He tells them
about the handprinting.  Carly goes to General Hospital to help.  Taggart
leaves.

Mike [did he hurt his hand on PC?] comes in and wants to help.  Jason is
feeling guilty but Mike gives him a pep talk before going off to church
to pray for Michael.  Jason sits, desperate, with a teddy bear.

Carly gets given a baby to hold by nurse Melissa [Your Fearless Updater
was shouting at the nurse.  What an idiot!  Security is still far too lax
at GH!]  Bobbie sees her and asks, sensibly enough, "What are you doing?
Where did you get that baby?"  She then calms down and they talk a few
minutes.

Back at the Penthouse, Carly tells Jason about holding the baby, and how
it gave her hope.
