A good title for the first half of today's show would be;
FOR WHOM THE (DOOR) BELL TOLLS...

At Melissa's place, she and Roy are busy hugging, kissing, whispering sweet nothings (yada yada yada); basically they are saying, "I love you". All the while they are trying to undress each other. When the doorbell rings, Mel says, "Ignore it; they'll go away". But she's not that lucky. Moments later a voice calls out for Mel to open the door; it's the PCPD. The cop tells Melissa that Commissioner Scorpio, requests her co-operation in the Sorrel investigation, if she'll just go with him. Roy protests that Melissa will not be going anywhere. The cop then informs him that Mac requests his presence also!

At Jax's place, he and Angel toast "to better times", and talk about when they first met. Jax says he's not sure he'll ever be over Brenda, or if he even wants to be. Angel advises him not to repeat her mistake. She tells him he needs to open himself to love, even if it's not perfect. Before Angel leaves she points out the irony in her situation, "I find people for a living, but I can't find the person I'M looking for". As she is leaving Jax's room, a cop stops her and tells her Commissioner Scorpio requests her co-operation in her father's case, and instructs her to go with him. (Isn't it funny how the PCPD always seems to know where to look for someone, yet they are clueless when it comes to solving a crime?)

At Carly's house she appears to be trying to get Bobbie to convince her to change her mind about signing the divorce papers. Bobbie advises her to 'be objective'. Carly protests that she can't because she hates the thought of Sonny with anyone else. Bobbie wonders why Carly thinks Sonny is suddenly interested in Alexis, then asks Carly what SHE has done to earn Sonny's trust lately? Carly insists that she will make Sonny choose; either Michael AND HER, or a divorce! Bobbie tells Carly to think about what is the most important thing in all this. "Hint: It's not You and it's not Sonny" says Bobbie. Bobbie asks Carly why she wants someone who doesn't want her? Carly explains that she is not an immature person who can't let go when a relationship is over (HA!) but she know that they still love each other, why should she let someone take him? Bobbie warns her daughter that love without trust goes no where. Carly swears she will get Sonny to trust her again somehow. Bobbie gives Carly some insight; "You don't trust Sonny! If you did you wouldn't worry about WHO he's with, when he's not with you". As Carly sits and ponders this bit of info, the doorbell rings; it a cop! (Surprise! Surprise!)

This next scene is hard to write, while Alexis and Sonny are conversing we keep hearing Lexi's (thoughts).
In Alexis' bedroom Sonny asks if she is OK (OK I just dreamt you kissed me! Why don't you button your shirt?) I'm fine says Alexis. Sonny sits on the bed and puts a hand to Alexis' forehead, saying she looks flushed. (He's sitting on the bed! Don't sit on the bed; go stand in the corner!) I just had a nightmare she replies. They go downstairs and continue a discussion on the symbolic meaning of dreams. Alexis babbles, and says "dreaming you kissed someone, means you forgot to brush your teeth" (Oh god, did I just say that?). Sonny says he knows she's worried about Stephan and Kristina, but assures her he's got his best people on Kristina. Alexis tells him she doesn't know how she'll ever thank him for what he's doing, Sonny replies that he'll think of something, as he reaches into her popcorn bowl and their hands touch. Alexis manages to squeak out "what do you mean". As Sonny tells Alexis to go back to bed, there is a knock on the door. It's the PCPD. The cop tells Sonny that Mac wants his co-operation in the Sorrel investigation. Sonny replies for the Commish to call and make an appointment during REGULAR business hours. The cop informs Sonny that Mac said to tell him, if he refused to come, Carly would be questioned alone.

At the Q house Monica wants to know what is up with Skye implying that she knows something about Edward's whereabouts the night of Sorrel's death. To get the attention way from himself, Edward bags on AJ for his latest "binge". Alan tells Skye to get to the point. Entering from the terrace, Lila says SHE would also like to know and insists Skye tell what she knows. Skye says it's nothing, she was just trying to get back at Edward with his own game. As the doorbell rings in the background, Lila admits she's happy it was nothing, but is glad to see someone finally sticking it to Edward. 'Big' Alice (the maid) enters and announces the "fuzz" is at the door, what should she do?

At a (yet) unknown location Mac tells Felicia to keep her ears and eyes open. When the bell rings, Mac says to Felicia "It's show time".

DOWN BUT NOT OUT...
Edward returns to the drawing room, and complains (to Skye) how he doesn't understand why the police took Alan, Monica & AJ, but left her. Skye warns him to change his attitude, or she'll do him in, she'll even give him a choice. She can implicate him in Sorrel's murder or she can go tell Lila where he was that night. When Edward demands to know what she wants, Skye tells him a bigger share and a position at ELQ. They have words and sling barbs at each other with Skye saying Edward doesn't care about anyone but himself, and Edward saying Skye is bitter and selfish. Edward appears to win this around when he tells Skye he DOES love his family, and he could even have loved HER, if she hadn't come in with guns blazing and destroyed the chance. Appearing duly chastised, Skye bows her head and slinks from the room…and goes right over to the gatehouse. She sneaks in and starts to snoop when suddenly a male arm grabs her from behind and covers her mouth. Skye manages to struggle loose and in the process knocks her
'mugger' down. She turns on the light and finds Jax on the floor. She asks him, "Does this mean you've reconsidered?" Meanwhile, after deciding not to make a phone call, Edward calls for Reginald to bring the car around, he is going out!

SAME SUSPECTS; SAME ARGUMENTS; DIFFERENT DAY...
Sonny AND Alexis are the first to arrive at Mac's get together, closely followed by Carly and Bobbie. Carly wants to know what they are doing there. Sonny tells Carly, "Ask her" and points to Angel, who just entered. Sonny asks Angel himself; when Angel denies any knowledge, Carly (as usual) accuses her of lying. Sonny comments that if Angel doesn't know, then it must be Mac's doing and asks the Commish what they are waiting for. Zander is the next to appear. When he starts reeling of the reasons the police would like to pin the murder on him, Alexis shushes him and points out Zander is not the only one there. Sonny comments to Mike that he appears to be very nervous. He then comments to Angel that this place must bring back bad memories. (I would guess they are at her father's house). She answers that it brings back the good memories, but they still hurt. Carly tells Bobbie that she can leave, but Bobbie says they asked for her to be there also. In the background Mac asks Felicia for her impressions. She replies that everybody is just (understandably) nervous, but comments that she doesn't understand why Bobbie was included in the group. Mac admits Bobbie is a longshot, but thinks she could have been pushed to murder, after all the times Sorrel threaten Carly's and Michael's lives. The Q family arrives and demands to know what is going on. Roy and Melissa enter, feel the bad vibes and promise each other that what ever happens, it won't take away from what they said to each other earlier.

Mac takes center stage and thanks everyone for coming. He tells them he wants them to know it's a strictly voluntary and informal gathering, but threatens to make it mandatory, when some say they are leaving. He points out some charges against several attendees. Carly for perjury in her claim that Angel had her kidnapped; Zander for packing a bag even though he was told not to leave town (this is a crime?); Alan and Monica for large amounts of parking tickets; Roy and Melissa for all they evidence found fingering them in the Sorrel murder. Sonny points out that all this has nothing to do with him, so he is leaving. Alexis will stay and make sure that Carly's, Mike's and Zander's rights are observed. AJ steps in his way and says it's not fair for "the criminal" in the group to get leave and tells Mac he has some charges against the mobster. Sonny forced him to sign away the rights to his son. AJ tells the whole story right down to the bottles of booze Sonny supplied him with. Alan warns Sonny that if it is true, he'll make Sonny pay. Sonny calmly points out that alcoholics never take responsibility for their actions once the binge is over, they always find someone to place the blame on. AJ says he wasn't drinking and he has proof. He calls on Zander to back up his story, but Zander says he doesn't know what AJ is talking about. AJ threatens Zander with telling Emily if Zander doesn't tell the truth, but Zander still denies knowledge. Mac finally steps in and tells AJ he can file charges at the station later, IF he has proof. But tonight is about the Sorrel case.

Mac admits that the pieces of the puzzle didn't fit together, as they pointed in several directions; until NOW! As he uncovers a portrait of Sorrel, he says that new evidence will point to the guilty party!
