From: Justene Adamec <Justene@worldnet.att.net> Subject: PC: Update. Tuesday August 12, 1997 Date: Wed, 20 Aug 1997 07:30:09 -0700 Update, Tuesday, August 12, 1997 Updater's notes: My apologies for the VERY late update. My available PC/GH viewing time, and updating time, is the wee morning hours before anyone else is up. The arrival of a summer head cold has caught me sleeping those extra hours. :( There seems to have been some mistake with this past Tuesday's show. See, since we started, my updates have been filled with marvelous Kevin and Lucy scenes. Instead, I'm stuck with a mooning Karen and Joe and a mooning Frank and Julie. Karen, I understand, though I could do without the flashbacks, but as for the rest of them . . . I find it a bit difficult to swallow when anyone over the age of 14 is crushed about the loss of a relationship that lasted about a minute and a half. Of course, these are the same writers who brought us Jax and Miranda, another minute and a half relationship with unending (snore) repurcussions. This update is more summary than usual due to the lateness and the content. Karen. We start the show with Karen flashing back to Fran, to Scott, and walking around Joe's apt. then she starts to clean up, gets about aminute into it, and makes a call trying to track him down. several scenes later, she's still wandering around when the Cheif of Detectives arrives at the door. Karen tries, futilely, to explain how important it is that she talk to her husband. The Chief explains how critical the current assignment is and insists on Karen's patience. Since he is not giving her any ability to reach Jagger, she has to agree. (Plot device warning: Jagger could come out for a "hearing" and to call Rhonda, but can't come out now. Right.) Karen messes up the apt some more. In a quick flight, Karen returns home to mope around her own apt. the answering machine has a call from Grace and none from Jagger. Karen calls and says she'll be home at the scheduled time -- tomorrow. She wants to mope for a whole day, apparently. Joe The other half of this relaionship is being cheered up by Grace. Well, first there's a throwaway scene in which Burgess yells at Joe and Chris for performing a procedure w/o her permission. Then Grace and Joe have several scenes with nary an important bit of plot development. Frank, Julie and Chris with a little bit of Mary & Mike We got another throwaway scene in which Mike talks about Sonny on the run. Mike is behind the bar, Mary is seated at the bar, and Frank is at the side of the bar facing the door. Julie and Chris walk in. Frank looks at Julie, Mary looks at Frank then turns to look at Julie in absolute horror. Chris suggests they leave and Julie insists on staying. They order food. Mike calls back to "Francois", comments that Francois is tempermental, and then heads back to "help." I thought this was a bit of bartender humor pretending that there really is a staff but lo and behold a couple of scenes later, Francois serves the sandwich. Chris confesses that he told Frnk about Julie's brother "accidentally." Julie is annoyed. They eventually leave and Frank and Julie meet up in the kitchen where they snipe at each other and Julie wants to know what she did wrong. Matt and Ellen This was the most interesting part of the show but it was dribbled out. Matt has been sleuthing around. Ellen wants him to stop. The usual yadda yadda yadda about her being the cool, I don't need your help, supervisor and him insisting on helping anyway. Eventually we find out the results of his most recent sleuthing. Cooper met with a malpractice lawyer in the hospital BEFORE the second seizure. (Boy, did Cooper suddenly sink to new levels of dumbness.) Later, Matt and Ellen go to breakfast. Ellen refers to the Monica -- Dorman case. Monica was one of the richest, most powerful women in the state and still got hung out to dry. Matt says that Ellen has the truth and him. We get music designed to tell us that this is a special moment.
