Sorry for the delay.....
---------------------

@ AJ's and Courtney's
AJ arrives home from work and they talk a little about their day. AJ asks Courtney to quit her second job, but she tells him that she can't right now, but she is taking tomorrow night off. She wants the two of them to spend the night together remembering how great it is that they are married. Courtney leaves for the club and while there she asks Winona where Coleman is because she wants to ask him a favor. Winona tells her to not ask for a favor, but to be assertive and tell him what she needs. She has a little bargaining power so he should listen. Coleman walks up and Courtney tells him that she needs tomorrow night off. He tells her no way. She replies by saying either I take tomorrow night off or I walk. Winona steps in and says that if he doesn't give her the time off, all the girls will call in sick and then HE can dance. Courtney agrees to compromise and come in from 4-8. Meanwhile, Mike has shownup at the apartment with a gift for Courtney. He tells AJ to not make any plans for the next night because he is taking them out for supper. AJ tells him that Courtney already has something planned, but he doesn't know what. Mike informs his son-in-law that its Courtney's birthday. AJ begins making plans of his own. When Courtney arrives back home, AJ has just finished making arrangements for flowers and a cake to be delivered. They talk some more about how great and wonderful it is to be together.

@ Lucky's Studio
Nik and Gia arrive back from their night in Manhattan, apparently he hasn't checked his messages and I can assume that Lucky tells him about Kristina (we don't actually see that happening). Nik and Gia leave, but minutes later Gia comes back to talk to Lucky. She tells him that she doesn't want to talk about work, but wants to talk about him and Nikolas. To make a long story short, Gia tells him that because of Kristina's untimely death, they should realize what little time they have left together and put aside all trival matters and make peace before its too late. After all, you never know when a piano could fall on you when your walking down the street (Gia's prediction not mine :) ) Lucky seems to be seriously considering this.

@Alexis's Apartment
She is first seen on the phone with someone from the funeral parlour making arrangements for Kristina's funeral. She explains that someone will be there at 2pm. There is a knock at the door and surprisingly Luke is on the other side. He tells Natasha that he is sorry for her loss and Alexis blames herself and Sonny for Kristina's death. Luke asks if its at all possible that Kris was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Alexis assures him that she made decisions that had consequences and Kris paid for them in full. Luke tries vainly to convince her that the person responsible is whoever set the bomb. Jokingly he asks if she wants to go get blindingly drunk. She declines, naturally. She thanks him for his surprising show of support, he makes her promise that she won't tell anyone. He leaves as Nikolas arrives. Alexis tells her nephew that Ned is making all the necessary arrangements, but Nik wants to know what he can do for HER. She says there is nothing, but he explains that he has been too busy thinking about himself lately, and that he hadn't seen Kris for a few weeks and he doesn't want that to happen to them. Lucky shows up and offers his condolences to Alexis. When asked what he can do for her, Alexis responds by telling them to forgive each other, they're brothers for godsakes. She gives the time alone. Lucky explains that Gia insisted he come to Nikolas, Nikolas thanks his bro. They apologize to each other saying that they have both been jerks and although they don't always have to approve of everything the other does, they are always brothers and will therefore always be connected. Lucky tells Nik that he is sorry for his loss, but he will never lose him no matter what happens. After Lucky and Nik leave, Jax arrives. Alexis tells him that Kris would still be alive if she hadn't found Alexis. Jax tells her that Kris wanted to find her, nothing could have stopped her. Alexis says she should have taken better care of her. Jax assures Alexis that Kristina thought she was beautiful, talented, brilliant and deserved to be happy. Alexis breaks down crying and tells Jax that she wants her sister back. Later, they are joking about some herbal tea concotion that Jax found in her kitchen. Alexis admits that she doesn't think she will get through her pregnancy without Kristina. He assures that she will, she has Ned. Ned shows up and Jax tells them both to take care of the baby.

@ Jax's Lakehouse
Jax gets a phone call fom Edward who tells him about Kristina's death. Before he leaves, he is looking for his dayplanner, Skye suggests that it may be in the safe. While Jax is opening the combination, Skye is quickly writing down the numbers. He doesn't find the day planner but decides to find it later. He tells Skye that he is so thankful to have her in his life. After he leaves, Skye approaches the safe and opens it. She looks at the map and quickly closes it. She is interupted by the phone ringing. Edward is on the other line asking her if she got into the safe. She tells him that she didn't. She can't believe that he would use a woman's death to get what he wants. He explains that that is not what he's doing, he has just learned to take advantage of any situation that presents itself and so has Skye he reminds her. Later, she is seen in front of the safe again. She opens it but changes her mind yet again. This time Edward shows up. He asks if she got into the safe. She says no. He suggests that she simply ask Jax. He might get suspicious, Skye responds. Ed reminds her of the contract and that although she might loose Jax she will gain all of ELQ and Edwards fortune when he dies. He leaves and she tries again, but can't do it. Later, Jax arrives back. Skye asks how Alexis is. Jax makes fun of Skye's outfit. She explains that she went for a walk to clear her head. Is there anything you want to talk about? He asks. SHe declines and says she was just thinking about how short life was and how she wished she could change some of things she has done. She promises Jax that no matter how long they are together, she will cherish every minute and that he is her miracle.

@The Pier
Scott and Rick are talking about Scotts new appointment as DA. Rick explains that it may work to their advantage that the cops are busy with the waterfront war, they won't have time for this. Scott tells Rick that the skull is missing. Rick tells him not to worry, everything is under control. Informs Scott, that Luke and Laura's quest for Theresa Carter has ended. They found her. As he tries to calm down Scott by explaining that he paid someone, Laura arrives and asks what's going on. She guesses that they are talking about what has been happening with her but she assures them not to worry. Everything is fine. She understands. She explains to them about her meeting with Theresa and gives them a rundown. She agress with them to leave it alone. Rick's beeper goes off and he leaves. Laura tells Scott that she is relieved, everything "Theresa" told her matches her memories along with camera. Puzzled, Scott asks what she's talking about and she explains what she saw. She says she doesn't know what she would have done without Scott.

@The infamous Attic

Luke arrives and begans retracing Laura's steps that night trying to locate the camera. He succeeds and lo and behold, there is still film in it after 25 years.
LAter, Scott arrives and begins looking for the camera. Laura arrives and wonders what he's doing. He covers by saying that he needed to let go of somethings too since Laura has. She wonders aloud why this is bothering him so much. He says its because he has been lying to her about what happened. He states that he should never have listened to Rick. Laura explains that she wishes they had told her the truth, but understands that they were trying to protect her. She knows Scott's intentions were always good. They hug...


Back at Lucky's Studio

Luke has arrived and asks his son if he can still develop this film. Lucky says he'll try as long as his dad tells him what's going on. Luke gives him the basics. AFter the explanation Lucky understands why he wants the film, to try and piece some more of it togehter. Luke confesses that he thinks there was a murder and someone is covering their tracks. Later, Luke and Lucky are examining the photos and guess what? After 25 years exposure there is still a picture that is clear. A young Scott covered with blood.
