From: Newberry@HUDCE.HARVARD.EDU (Newberry) Subject: PC: Update for Wed, 6-18 Date: Thu, 19 Jun 1997 09:18:08 -0400 This update will be short as I've been incapacitated this week by an actual pain in the neck. But here is a brief summary of a very eventful episode. I. Lucy and the "mystery" kidnapper Having been lured to the lab by a telephone call, Lucy arrives outside the door and hears Serena singing. She rushes into the lab calling out for her but finds it's only a tape. Suddenly she's grabbed from behind by Rex. He proceeds to tell her that she and Scott will be responsible for determining how the money drop will take place, but that it must be during the Nurse's Ball. Lucy wants assurances that Serena is alright. He says they'll have some kind of proof tomorrow. All the while Rex is holding her from behind in a very painful embrace and trying to disguise his voice against future recognition. He's been watching her...knows all about her, including her recent engagement, so she shouldn't try anything funny. He's successful in intimidating the heck out of her. Later, she's got a plateful of food in front of her (in the hospital cafeteria or a nearby restaurant, we're not sure) when Kevin arrives. He knows she's hiding something. She's so edgy. He wants to go to with her to see Dr. Newman. She convinces him he should go see his father and she can handle the checkup on her own. He knows she's not being upfront about something. She says she just wishes that Serena were back safely with Scott so that she and the Doc could concentrate on what should be the happiest time of their lives. 2. Scott, the defender of truth, justice, and the Am....oh hell, give the kid a break Scott has arrived at the Review Board hearing to defend Joe Scanlon. Lee tries to explain that this isn't a courtroom. Scott insists Joe needs someone to look out for his rights and that the Board doesn't want to face a huge lawsuit down the line because they didn't let the kid defend himself. The Board agrees to hear Scott out, provided Joe agrees. In bewilderment, Joe says sure, why not. Scott then proceeds to make a Vietnam War triage analogy to the hostage situation, noting how the experiences of doctors during the war changed the way ER's are run today. He says when you're in a combat situation, you have to take desperate measures to fulfill your responsibilities and any one of them in Joe's place would have done the same thing. There are some skeptics. Alan then invites Joe to speak for himself. Joe explains that he's gone over and over that night in his head; it has changed all of their lives forever. But he wouldn't do anything different. At that point Mary Scanlon wheels in Audrey, who says that she, for one, is very glad he did perform the surgery. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be here (in more ways than one.) She makes an eloquent plea to give these interns the benefit of the doubt, invoking the memory of Steve Hardy in the process. Eventually the Board votes not to terminate Joe's internship. The meeting concludes with a rather odd statement from Tony Jones about no intern being above anyone else and it's now time to get back to what their original purpose was. Karen stops to talk with Scott, but Dr. Burgess tells her to report to duty immediately. Karen smiles at Scott, mouths the words "thank you" and heads off. Scott has a warm, fuzzy glow (yes really!).[To those of you who are just being introduced to Scott, this was an example of his better nature...he really does have one...kind of. To know and love Scott is mostly to be irritated by him :-)] 3. No crust, please Danielle, complete in brown wig, is making a lunch for Serena, who requests the crusts be cut off her sandwich. Danielle is striving to make Serena is comfortable as possible and reassuring her that she'll see her Daddy soon. Serena doesn't want to hear any more of Charlotte's Web...she has a lot of coloring to do...pictures she's drawing for Daddy. Danielle's guilt level soars and when Rex returns she begs him to put an end to all of this soon. Rex assures Danielle it will all be over as soon as Lucy and Scott do exactly as he wants. 4. Uh-0h Lucy has rushed into the Review Board meeting as it is breaking up, needing to find Scott and give a report on her meeting. She is just ready to tell him about how the two of them are responsible for coming up with a plan for the money drop when Kevin appears in the doorway. It's obvious he knows something is going on and from the look on the faces of Lucy and Scott, they know that he knows that they know more than they're telling...well, you know what I mean. [Author's note: to those of you who watch both PC and GH: it will be interesting to see if PC picks right up with this scene tomorrow, as in the meantime Lucy has been quite evident on GH, in a completely different dress, making plans for the Nurse's Ball and worrying over the money drop. I record the shows and watch them one after another and the quick jump from the last scene on PC to Lucy's interactions on GH was quite a jolt IMHO.] Respectfully submitted, Linda N.
