Subject: PC: Update for 6/4/97 Pt. 1 From: Newberry@HUDCE.HARVARD.EDU (Newberry) Date: 1997/06/05 I walked into my house, ready to view my tape of PC and prepare my first update, and to my horror found we'd had a power outage. Luckily, it appeared to have occurred after PC & GH aired! BTW, I now have a new-found appreciation for all of my update predecessors. PC is only a half-hour show; I can't imagine doing this to cover an hour's worth of material! :-) Here goes, hope it's not too long, gives enough info, etc. This is my virgin try...please be gentle with me! Smirk-boy and Blondie At the opening we find Dr. Chris Ramsey in bed enjoying the afterglow with a blonde, who, upon hearing of his ordeal in the hostage situation, had rushed to his penthouse-type abode (decorator's note: black leather hide-a-bed, red satin sheets) clad only in a teddy, her trenchcoat and a pair of mules. He is describing events to her, including the fact that Cooper had prepared a real party for the interns, though he had only provided domestic champagne. She seems aroused by the retelling of the tale and asks "Who actually tackled him?" Dr. Ramsey pauses to reflect on the situation (flashback), but Blondie mistakes his silence for humility (big mistake there!) and assumes it was him. You're a hero! she sighs as she covers him with XXXX's. Later, as he continues to explain how he saved the day and outsmarted Cooper, he realizes they are out of champagne and goes off to get more. She proceeds to tidy up, stumbling across the file labeled Julie Morris. After inquiring about it upon Dr. Chris' return, he snarls, "What are you doing, spying on me?" at which point he pulls out $20, she's insulted, he insists it's for the cab, and she huffs out, wishing him luck on his internship. Holding the Julie Morris file, Smirk-boy, asserts, "Oh, I don't need luck, baby." Buddy, Come out! Julie Devlin a.k.a. Morris is having nightmare. She is a teenage girl in the hallway of a grand house. She's looking for someone, calling out for "Buddy" and imploring him to come out. There is a sound (gunshot??), followed by a scream, followed by a flash to the hostage crisis, followed by Julie jerking awake. (ed's note: this particular sequence was very well done, IMHO). Later, Dr. Chris is placing a call to Dr. Julie, coaching himself as he dials the number to take it slow and steady. When she answers he tells her he's sorry to bother her, but felt the need to talk w/someone. She confides about having nightmares. They bond, or at least she thinks so. Frank Scanlon, Mr. Fix-it? Having overhead Drs. A. Quartermain and E. Burgess discussing Joe's suspended internship, Frank approaches the new head resident and inquires about his brother's status. Dr. Burgess assures Frank that when it comes to her work, she's a no-nonsense lady and if Joe wants to help himself he should prepare for his hearing with the Review Board. Frank then asks to speak to Joe, who is being supportive of Karen (more on that to come). "Why didn't you tell me?" he asks of his younger sib. "Leave it alone," Joe demands. "It will work out." Frank tries to convince Joe to tell Dr. Burgess he's sorry. Joe tells Frank to "go to bed" and returns to Karen; Frank is not reassured. Later, Frank is allowed in to see Audrey for a moment, and implores her to live for the people who love her and because Joe needs her help. (Ed's note: as someone who is drawn to people's eyes, Frank's are terrific!) I want you to stay. Joe is trying to convince Karen that she shouldn't make life-altering decisions while on the emotional rollercoaster she's riding. She's not so certain she should stay in PC, as she stands shivering in her skimpy dress. He puts his jacket around her shoulders and states "I want you to stay," after which they exchange a meaningful look. Later, they talk about Scott and she marvels at how she never had a chance to get to know him after she found out he was her father and now here she is performing triage on him and signing surgical consent forms. Joe tells her how lucky Scott is that she was there to help, how lucky he himself is that she was there to help during the hostage situation and assures her that "saving lives is what you were born to do." After more supportive talk she asks "Is this an act that you're such a nice guy?" While Frank is talking to Joe, Karen calls Mom to assure her she's fine. When Joe returns he asks how Rhonda is. "Sober," replies Karen. They then discuss what it's like to have a parent who drinks and Joe wonders why all the people who came to his father's funeral didn't stop him from driving drunk. They marvel at how Cooper had all the personal info on them and Joe says, "After tonight this entire place is one giant exposed raw nerve. We'll never be the same." Dr. Burgess comes to report that Scott's prognosis looks good, to welcome Dr. Cates into the internship program and to fulfill her first duty...delivering a summons for Karen to testify before the Review Board in the case of Joe's suspension. "Why didn't you tell me?" He makes light of it and she compliments his bed-side manner (and they exchange another "look"). Little Fluffy Yellow Duckies Change Everything Returning home after their stay at the police station, Lucy floats around the refurbished lighthouse, gently rubbing her tummy and smiling. Kevin assures her it's the same place. Yes, she agrees, it's great, terrific, perfect, but "now that I know I've got this whole little person growing inside of meÜit changes everything." She talks about how everything is altered now that she has to look at everything for two. Kevin's inquires "what about me?" and she assures him that "the three of us" are going to be terrific. She then gets a funny look on her face and Kevin brings her to the couch, wanting to assure that if she's going to faint again she has a soft landing. No, she's had a flash about Scott and Serena and knows something's not right. She's got to call Gail and Lee. Kevin implores her to rest. She will, after she finds out what's wrong. At the Baldwins she reaches a neighbor who is keeping phone vigil in case word comes about Serena while the Baldwins are at the hospital with an injured Scott (altho' we never saw them there during the show). She wants to rush to the hospital, Kevin wants her to rest and take care of herself because "Scott's still my pal." As Kevin goes to answer the doorbell he insists she take at least five minutes to rest. "Four," she replies. Mac arrives and inquires if they are all right. Yes, they're fine but Serena is still missing. Lucy implores him to get the police force out there to look for suspects, but Mac informs them of his firing. He states he's going to freelance and find Serena, asks Lucy for Scott's phone number in Canada so he can start to trace the trail of the kidnappers. Kevin asks Mac to lock up...he and Lucy have somewhere to go. "Where?" she asks. "You need to see Scott, don't you?" She sighs and goes to him. "It looks like I'm not the only one who's psychic." Kevin glances towards her tummy and says, "Well, let's just say I feel more connected to you." (loveitloveitloveitloveitloveitloveit!) At the hospital Kevin is talking to Karen who introduces him to Joe. Kevin is glad to meet Frank Scanlon's brother. Lucy is in seeing the still unconscious Scott. She reprimands him for ever thinking she would do anything to hurt Serena and talks about when they brought her into the world. She says if he's not in pain she'd certainly like to inflict some upon him, but assures him that while he gets well she and Kevin and Mac will find Serena and bring her back to him. Then, "we'll put this all behind us and be the very best of pals again." After her visit she joins Kevin, Karen & Joe. "He didn't wake up, but I know my pal Scott. He'll be fine," she reassures Karen, and says she thinks she can see some of Scott in the back of Karen's eyes (Lucy's an eye-person too! :-))) ) Lucy and Karen promise to keep each other posted on Scott's condition and the search for Serena and as they leave Kevin asks Joe to give his regards to Frank. P.S. Weird scene during the credits Did anyone else notice that during the ending credits (which I don't usually watch, there was a shot of Frank standing and talking to a woman wearing nothing but a towel? What was up with that!? Respectfully submitted, Linda N. CEO, FGC Jason, Keeper of Jason Morgan's Lust VP, FGC Robin, Keeper of the Cameo Ring
