THE LAST UPDATE: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12

1. The Crystal Tree Breaks

Stefan is looking at the pictures of Luke in the
mask.  Nikolas comes in.  Nik still wants help to
find Lucky, but Stefan refuses.  Nik doesn't
understand. Stefan insists that Luke's relations
with his family are his own business. "You must
respect your mother's wishes" and stay out of it.

Up on the parapet, Katherine is trying to recover
her memory.  She recalls discussing this with
Helena, who wanted to be sure that she didn't regain
any feelings she may have had for Stefan.  Katherine
is sure she will never forgive Stefan after what he
did to her.  She goes up to the railing. She
flashes back to the fall. Stefan is behind her. They
stare at each other.

Stefan tells her not to be afraid.  She isn't.
Stefan remembers that night.  [Flashback city, this
episode.]  They discuss that night.  Stefan gets
emotional, almost, describing seeing her body at the
foot of the parapet.  It was even more horrible to
be named her murderer.

Katherine is in tears.  They get closer... will they
kiss?  No, Stefan turns away.  He tells her to put
him behind her.  The Woman Scorned leaves.

2. Family Values

the Quartermaines are gathered in the living room.
Monica is reading the paper.  She wonders how many
other families look in the paper every morning
praying they are not in it.  Emily comes in to ask
A.J.'s help in getting her modelling job back.  A.J.
wiggles.  Monica agrees that Em shouldn't model any
more.  Edward coomes in and admires Emily's dres.
She makes a face at him and flounces out.  "What did
I say?"  Lila goes after Emily, saying hello to
Bobbie on the way out.

Bobbie tells Monica that Carly will be coming home!
Monica and A.J. are less than pleased.

Katherine comes in, planning to head to Wyndemere.
Edward warns her.  Meanwhile, Monica is being asked
by Bobbie to stay away from Michael for a while, and
Monica explodes, as do the other Quartermaines.
Monica says that Carly is only after the money and
will sell Michael to the highest bidder.  Bobbie
gets all redheaded, and takes this badly. She makes
a disparaging remark about Q child-raising skills.

They get into a family values discussion, with
gangsters, and drug dealers and adultery.  AJ wants
to know how Bobbie can excuse Carly's actions
towards him.  Ned comes in in the middle of this.
Edward gets on his case about a technology deal
that's fallen through.  Ned and AJ snap at each
other.  Bobbie and Monica get madder.  Bobbie is not
pleased that Monica plans to rehire Tony. [Bobbie's
angry interpretation.]

Monica says her actions as chief of GH have nothing
to do withwhat goes on in the house.  Is Bobbie
telling her she can't see Michael if Tony is
reinstated?  They argue about where Michael would be
better off.  [That poor baby!]  Edward takes
umbrage: "You are on very shaky ground questioning
our moral authority."  [Sounds like Our Fearless
Leader in Washington, doesn't he?]

Emily rushes in in tears.  Her pictures are on the
Internet. What will she do?  Monica wonders how it
happened... [the Mysterious Woman Assistant, right?]
Bobbie goes to comfort Emily.  Then she comments to
Edward about the wonders of being raised
Quartermaine, and leaves.

3. Pillfree and Antsy

Alan is on the phone threatening his dealer, as he
will be late for work if his pills don't arrive
immediately.  He listens at the door and opens it
and sees Tony waiting to see Felicia.  Tony has
stopped by on the way to work to be sure Felicia is
OK.  Felicia, undercover, is not happy to seehim.
She pulls him into the room.  Taggart is lurking
around.

Tony wants Felicia not to mention seeing him.  He's
getting his position back, he tells her.  Alan goes
out to confront Taggartm lurking at Felicia's door.
Taggart tries to shush him, but Felicia hears and
demands an explanation. Alan  says he's clean, why
is Taggart following him?  Felicia is interested
too. Taggart can't tell her that Mac hired him, and
they're in a busy discussion when the drug dealer
comes by, spots Taggart, and disappears. Felicia
sees him.  Taggart leaves, Tony tells Alan he's
late, and leaves.  Alan thanks Felicia, and Felicia
asks who that guy was in the hall.  Alan doesn't
know, and says he has to get to work.  He leaves,
with his door wide open.

4. Contesa V.

Jax is packing his case for Monte Carlo. He picks up
the "lucky bracelet" that Brenda won and we have a
Brenda-flashback.  Ned comes to the door to see if
Jax is ready.  He has a folder with V's fake ID.  It
turns out there is a real Contesa with the name, but
she's having a facelift in Gstaad [Your Fearless
Updater is a little surprised that NO ONE at Monte
Carlo will know this woman!]

V. comes in, all ready, scarf wrapped around her
neck and all. Ned doesn't approve, but V is planning
to change at the apartment.  Ned gives her the ID
and leaves. She's really nervous.  He has a leather
bag for her.  She's aghast, as he can't afford this,
but he regards it as a good investment.

V. has a gift for Jax, as well.  It's her life
savings, nearly $5000, so he can look more like a
big spender.

V., in a classy brown pantsuit, comes down the stairs
and out the door.  Contesas don't catch cold.  Jax
picks up the bracelet, and they are off.
