You know those episodes where everyone seems to be getting some, the champagne is flowing, the romantic music, the fuzzy lens treatment? Well, this isn’t one of them. It’s National Bite Your Head Off day. What a gripe fest! Patrick, Robin, Pete and Noah have a quad-match. Lucky, Cruz, Maxie and Georgie do fight club. Alan wants to club Dillon, and then Monica. It’s enough to drive Mr. Spencer to drugs.
So Pete shows up at the Drake/Scorpio residence, and doesn’t it look nice? Beautifully furnished, lamps and everything, and the Prof starts in on the Surgeon. He decries Robin’s “evil influence”, just as the lady of the house walks in (in her robe, no less). Pete apologizes and skulks outta there. Robin lets her man know that Pete doesn’t scare her, and off to work she goes.
Georgie and Lucky are at Kelly’s talking about the awful things Maxie has done, when the scheming tart walks in with Cruz. She’s all flirty with him, and Lucky jumps like a yo-yo on a string. He yells at her for “coming on to Rodriguez,”. She tells him to get over himself. Lucky and Cruz split. Georgie nags her sister about trying to recreate her relationship with dead Jesse by sleeping her way through the PCPD. Outside, Lucky pulls a jealous boyfriend thing on Cruz, who isn’t buying. Lucky’s tempted by the pills. Maxie’s strategy is working on him; make him jealous, he’ll get hooked again, Liz will bolt, he’s all hers.
Alexis is at home, Diane shows up (she’s been retained) and they talk law. Alexis wants to fight the drug charge with the ‘medical’ approach, and to paint her ex as the colossal abusive sleeze that he is. Diane talks against it. It could backfire if she loses.
Jason and Sam are at the penthouse, and he tells her about the plot to kill Sonny. The old fear rises, and he’s worried she’ll be next. He wants her to stay home, but she can’t skip everything. She can’t be late to screw up her new job (at least she’s good at something).
She leaves, and Jason gets the geek to track Lorenzo’s shipment. Spinelli is thrilled that Stone Cold needs his help.
Monica and Alan are biting each others’ heads off at the hospital. Monica mentions Rick Webber, and Alan says ‘why can’t the SOB stay dead?’
Lulu and Dillon (who continues to grow his hair and look more like a film student) are talking about the Webber mystery at the Q’s. Rick was a shady character. Any gambling debts? Lulu goes to find Spinelli. Maybe he can trace the money trail.
Noah and Robin are talking about their new ‘living arrangements’, and dad is thrilled. Meanwhile, Professor Pete comes back to see Patrick at the flat. He offers Patrick a trip to Vegas (with booze and strippers) and a deal. If the doc can keep his pants zipped on the trip, Pete won’t bother him about Robin again. He goes on about how Patrick has a leash around his neck, and how he’s ‘brainwashed’. Robin comes back, oozing with confidence, and says “go to Vegas, don’t let me stop you”. Pete’s acting like such a jerk and Patrick isn’t going to stand for it, until daddy Drake shows up with a housewarming gift. Oh, brother, then the poop hits the fan. Pete says ‘when’s the wedding’, and the ensuing nuptial-talk gets Patrick in a sweat. He starts arguing with Noah about his ‘dictating his life’ and it just escalates into a poop-storm. Pete and Patrick storm off to Vegas. Robin calls Lainey and arranges a road trip for the girls.
Dillon is working Alan for some info on Rick Webber. He’s shocked at the reaction he gets. Why the sudden interest in Webber? Become a cop and put me in jail! Dillon thinks he has his killer.
Lulu shows up at Jason’s trying to borrow Spinelli for her project, but he’s busy with Jason’s project. Lulu and Jason talk about the possibility that one of his parents is a murderer. Jason talks about his brain injury, and that nothing will bring Laura back. Brain damage is irreversible, after all. Lulu bemoans her ‘stupid fantasy’, but still wants to prove her mom’s innocence.
-Sam and Alexis talk about her fighting the drug charges
-Cruz and Lucky investigate a purse-snatching at the Metro Court. Maxie is there, and she and Lucky fight some more.
-Some lady tells Cruz about the vault (yeah, we know that’s where the shipment is)
-Lulu’s gone, and Jason and the Geek find traces of the shipment-something small, easy to steal, security is a priority (HEY! It’s in the vault)
-Lulu meets up with Dillon at Kelly’s. They think Alan is the man
-Alan and Monica figure out that they’ve been covering for each other for years. Each thought the other did it. It’s funny. Really.
-Then there’s some lady, some place, talking to some unknown guy about Laura’s awakening. Did she say anything. Yeah, OK, this is our murderer.
-Sam comes home and Jason tells her about what Spinelli found out. She flashes to Tracy and the Angela Monroe issue. She tells him about Alexis. She makes him promise to never use their child (if they have one) as a weapon.
Yes, I know. Too much information. I’m like Lucky with the pills. A soap addict.
