From: rika@netcom.com (Melissa Martin) Subject: PC: Update, Thursday, 6/12/97 Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 20:50:00 GMT PORT CHARLES UPDATE Thursday, June 12, 1997 Sorry this is so late. Our regular updater has been having network access problems, and I just found out today that she also missed the June 12 episode of PC. So I'm supply a better-late-than-never-I-hope substitute update. TODAY'S STORYLINES: ------------------- * "Okay, You're a Slut - Suits me Fine" * Hospital Doings "OKAY, YOU'RE A SLUT - SUITS ME FINE" -------------------------------------- At the hospital, Karen is talking to Mac about the car that hit Scott - she offers a somewhat vague description of it, and asks Mac to tell Scott she hopes things work out with Serena. Ellen Burgess comes up to Karen, looking for Eve. She has no luck, but we see her arriving at the Lighthouse (apparently Kevin and Lucy don't lock their door, because everybody just bursts in). She tells Scott she has 30 seconds and so he should unbutton his shirt and lie down. Scott: "Couldn't we have dinner first?" Eve removes Scott's bandage, and asks about the latest word on Serena. She tells him he's doing better. They hear Lucy's voice - Scott wasn't expecting her so soon - and when Lucy walks in, she sees Scott and Eve kissing. Lucy, annoyed, interrupts them and chides Scott for his activities. She asks who Eve is, but Eve says, "It's none of her business." Lucy reminds them (several times) that they are in her house before she goes upstairs, leaving them alone. Eve tells Scott why she kissed him - "I would rather she think I was a slut than a renegade doctor." Scott doesn't care - "Okay, you're a slut - suits me fine." Eve leaves, yelling at Lucy, "You have some nerve!" Lucy calls after her, "It's my house." Then she reams Scott out for fooling around with a woman while Serena is in danger. Scott tries to make excuses without much success. Lucy asks if the woman was a "pro," or maybe a gold- digger. She reminds him that she was right about Katherine, but he wouldn't listen then, and she can't believe he's going to make the same mistake again..... unless this woman has some connection to the kidnappers. Lucy threatens to call the FBI and ask about the woman, and when Scott tells her not to do that, Lucy can't believe that Scott is protecting a stranger "after arresting me at the drop of a hat." Scott reminds Lucy that, in the police station, she asked him to trust her. Lucy reminds *him*, "You didn't trust me." Scott begs her to drop the situation, but Lucy thinks this is a bad time for them to have secrets. Mac arrives to break up the argument. Mac tells them that Karen's description of the car that hit Scott is similar to the descrip- tion of the car that took Serena away. After Mac leaves, Lucy paces the room nervously. She can't just sit and do nothing. Scott starts to tell Lucy about Serena's morning routine - she wakes up singing. Lucy was happy all the time when Serena was inside of her - "golden and dignified and magnificent." (Hey, Lucy, there's a baby inside of you now, too, that might make you feel pretty magnificent if you let it....) They talk about Dominique and the effect she had on both of them. Scott is worried that the kidnapping experience has changed Serena somehow. Lucy assures him that she won't let that happen. The phone rings; Scott answers. It is Serena, saying, "Daddy, is that you?" HOSPITAL DOINGS --------------- Julie needs to start a patient's IV, and it's pretty clear she doesn't know what she's doing. Frank wanders by and offers her some much-needed advice. Chris sees them together and glares. Later, at the nurses' station, Julie thanks Frank for the coaching. Frank objects to the term - when he coaches, he's very entertaining. It turns out that he coaches a kids' baseball team. He invites her to watch his game tomorrow; she finds out she has the day off, and agrees to go to the game. Chris hears this exchange and drags Julie off to help him with a sick child. Later Chris shows Julie that the on-call schedule has changed, and now she has to work. Unseen by her, he smirks at her disappointment. Matt is having trouble with an intoxicated patient who says that no "cripple" is going to touch him. Out in the hall, Joe watches the situation. The orderly who was helping Matt rushes to get Ellen Burgess, but Joe stops them from going in, telling them that Matt can handle the situation. Joe is right. Matt shows the patient that he isn't afraid or weak, and talks him into being examined, while Joe, Ellen, and the orderly look on. Matt sends the guy off to X-ray with the orderly. Ellen tells Matt, "You got lucky." Matt has the LOD: "Actually, I don't swing that way. One minority status is enough for me." Burgess questions Matt's ability to handle the job, but he insists that he can handle it. He can roll faster than people can walk - sometimes he even feels "sympathy for you bipeds." Burgess is not amused. Frank sees Joe observing Jake at work, and tells him it would be better to lay low for now. They start arguing, finally going to the supply room. The argument escalates into a shouting match. Karen comes by and overhears; she thinks about getting involved, but she changes her mind, saying to herself, "Men!" Julie overhears Ellen still looking for Eve; she tells Ellen that Eve was feeling unwell and went to lie down. Unfortunately, just then Eve walks up offering a different excuse. Ellen gets called away, but Eve accuses Julie of setting her up again. Julie tries to explain that she was trying to cover for Eve, but Eve doesn't believe it. Chris comes by to hear their argument, and asks, "Is there mud-wrestling on the carpet tonight?" Julie stalks off; Chris asks Eve, "That time of the month?" He smirks as Eve tells him to shut up. Ellen, on her way to have it out with Eve, overhears Frank and Joe shouting at each other and breaks up the argument. They try to save face, pretending that Joe was just helping Frank to collect some needed supplies. Ellen watches, bemused, as they quickly leave the room. Eve tells Joe that she's looking for an apartment, and Joe tells her about his basement apartment (the one Frank just rented to Julie); she says she wants to take it. Then Eve goes off in search of Ellen. She apologizes; Ellen tells her that she is out if she makes one more mistake. Grace Sullivan comes in and tells Ellen that "it wouldn't be the end of the world if the interns thought you had real human emotions." Ellen replies, "They would be wrong to think that. I don't." ----------------- by Rika, substitute updater
