UPDATE THURSDAY JULY 16

1. DO YOU LOVE ME?
[One of the more frustrating stories: why don't they
just TALK to each other??!]

Jax brings Mac home after the bachelor party.  Taggart didn't
go, Kevin didn't go.  Officer Kelly's wife switched videos, and
Mac says "I never thought we'd get the party going again after Bambi's
Mother died."  He says, "I'll be the only groom in history to go to
the altar so I can break up with the woman I love."

V and Felicia are rewriting the invitations [REALLY late, this!] in
the interrogation room.  V. speculates about the honeymooh.  She figures
out that Felicia is in love with Mac.

Mac says to Jax: "are you saying I should get married at my own wedding?
Are you nuts?"  He goes home and conks out.  Felicia goes over to Mac's
to "check out some addresses."

They, of course, don't tell each other.

Back at the Police station, V. says to someone "If you're looking for Vice,
it's across the hall."  Jax replies, "No thanks, I've had enough for this
evening."  V. was following Jerry so was near the party much of the night.
They discover that Mac and Felicia love each other.

2. QUARTERMANIA

In the Quartermaine living room, Alan and Ned, A.J. and Edward are
standing warily around.  Monica comes in, wondering why Alan hasn't
cracked up years ago.  They tell her Emily is in her room, packing.
Monica panics and dashes upstairs.  Emily tells her about modelling.
Monica is dubious, but supportive, if it's something Em really wants.

Alan takes the phone and deals with the service person and the lost
cell phone.  (Ned mutters "you'd think he was being given a Nobel Peace
Prize.")  Monica comes down and tells Alan that Emily left the house
wearing something different-- a smile -- they argue about modelling.

Monica went to Steve Hardy's memorial.  Alan goes out onto the patio.
Monica talks to Ned and AJ about Emily.  She wants to be sure it's
tasteful.  AJ will travel with Emily.  They then go to look for Alan, but
they've lost him.

Emily is outside of Kelly's and "accidently" runs into Nik.  She gets ALL
sophisticated and tells Nik about her "gig."  She tells him she's a
"junior-- if you count the credits."  [Compare with two weeks ago, AJ saying
"she's in 10th grade."]  Your Fearless Updater LOVED this scene... Emily kept
almost bursting out into shrieks and giggles, then remembered she was a
"woman of the the world."  As she left, she tripped on the curb.  Been
there, done that.

3. TAGGART LINES UP HIS DUCKS

Nik asks Taggart how the investigation is going.  Taggart says,
"Clipping the wings of the high and mighty is one of my specialties."
Taggart suggests that Nik is getting his uncle involved: just then the
phone rings.  Taggart tells Nik to stay put, but of course he doesn't.

Down at the seedy phone, Alan is harassing people.  One of them chokes him.
Taggart interrupts this. He's snide to Alan. "Someone reported a wacked out
gentleman of the Caucasian persuasian terrorizing the good people of this
neighborhood... that wouldn't be YOU, would it, Doc?

Alan claims he's looking for the mugger.  Taggart hasn't heard about the
mugging, did Alan report it?  He's "surprised" he hadn't heard before.

Taggart offers to take him to G.H.  Alan just wants to go home.  Taggart
assured him that he will be "hearing from me as soon as I have all my
ducks in a row."  As Alan staggers off, Taggart mutters. "Quack. Quack.
Quack."  [Where's Sigmund when you want him?]
