From: maclatch <maclatch@unbsj.ca> Subject: PC:Update: Wednesday, 22 October 1997 Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 10:04:55 -0300 PC Update, 22 October 1997 In which Eve becomes homeless, and Scott buys a new home. How many guesses that Eve will somehow end up on Scott's doorstep? At The Recovery Room Karen and Joe drink coffee and discuss how they both spent last night worrying about Matt's case and who sabotaged the interns. Grace joins them. She tells them Scott hit Devlin. Karen is worried her dad hit one of her bosses. At the Lighthouse Scott teases Lucy about her and Kevin getting some rest last night. Scott tells her there were traces of drugs in his system — tries to joke that he could have got that much drug from poppy seeds on a muffin. Lucy wants to know what happened to the hand Scott is favouring. At the hospital desk Julie has a break; long enough, she tells Eve, for her to go home to pack to move out. She has their expenses broken down for what Eve owes her. Eve says Julie can stay, as Eve can't pay all the rent herself. Julie says "OK — you can leave then". Julie exits stage right. At the Lighthouse Scott tells Lucy he was teaching Devlin a lesson in manners — how to keep his hands to himself. Kevin enters, he's off to do something with his day. He reminds Lucy about her doctor's appointment and leaves. Scott wants to know what's up with the doctor's appointment. She is going to see Dr. Neuman, a gynecologist. Lucy wants to see her about getting tests to see if she can carry a child to term (she is worried about her three previous miscarriages). They talk about Lucy's readiness to be a parent now, and how the time wasn't right for either of them back when she was pregnant with Scott's child. [This is a very touching discussion]. She's worried she will never be able to have a child. Scott tells her that even if the news is bad, she still has Serena. Who, of course, enters on cue. Serena hugs Lucy and wants to know why Lucy is sad. Lucy says she just wants to give her a hug. Scott gives Lucy the chance to walk Serena to the bus, for which Lucy is grateful. They leave. Scott picks up the phone. Puts in a call to Justus Ward. At Julie and Eve's Basement Apartment Eve is packing. Julie and Eve fight over a skirt of Julie's Eve is trying to pack as her own. This develops into an argument over who is worse — Julie because she lied about who she is or Eve that she had an affair with Julie's father. Frank comes down the stairs. Wants to know what's going on. Eve leaves. Julie tells Frank about Eve and her dad's affair and that she caught them kissing. She's mad at both of them, but mostly with Eve. Frank tells her she shouldn't put all the blame on Eve. Julie leaves for the hospital to be by herself. Frank apologizes as she goes up the stairs — he wishes he had been wrong about her dad. He stays in the apartment to fix the sink. At The Recovery Room Chris joins Karen, Joe and Grace. Tells them he heard Scott broke Devlin's jaw. Rumour has it he has two teeth gone as well! They ask Chris for help getting Matt back on the surgical rotation. They want to write a letter of support signed by all the interns. Chris neither commits or doesn't, but looks hesitant about helping. Karen leaves and passes Eve on her way out. Eve asks if she can room with Karen. Karen says Eve can stay on her floor for a couple of days. Karen leaves first, Eve follows shortly. As Eve leaves, a creepy guy with shades and a moustache follows her down the alley from the Recovery Room. At Julie's (formerly Eve and Julie's Basement Apartment) Frank is under the sink fixing it. Devlin comes in. He is looking for Julie. Frank tells him he thinks he's a pretty lousy guy for cheating on his wife and hitting on a medical student. Frank is happy Julie will get to see what a piece of work her old man is. Devlin leaves. At the hospital desk The creepy guy is keeping up his surveillance of Eve. Scott enters and enquires of Eve if she's seen Lucy. She hasn't. Scott downplays to Eve his attack of Devlin. Eve leaves. The creepy guy is still there, but now it seems as if he's keeping an eye on Scott. Karen shows up and questions him about Devlin. He tells Karen he hit him because of the nasty things he was saying about Scott's parenting skills. They separate. At the desk, several nurses are gossiping about the extent of Devlin's injuries. The rumour mill has gone amuck. [Where's Amy Vining when you need her?] Julie is there, and Karen sets the record straight with her — it was one punch only. Julie settles down to tell Karen about Eve and her dad. At The Recovery Room Chris and Joe are discussing the setups of the interns. Mike joins them. They want Mike's advice about goings on at the hospital. Sabotage or random accidents? Mike's opinion: a setup. Mike leaves. Chris thinks they should all stick together. Matt enters. He's mad at Chris for a discussion Chris had with Boardman about Matt being able to do surgery. Matt is mad because none of this is Chris's business. Matt leaves. Joe and Chris argue about Matt. Chris plays the role of Boardman and Joe plays the role of Ellen, recycling Boardman and Ellen's conversation of last week. Chris says it's a safety issue, political correctness shouldn't come into it and Joe says Matt is a good doctor who should be given the same opportunities in the surgical rotation as the other interns. At the Lighthouse Scott says he looked for Lucy at the hospital, but they must have missed each other. He wants to know how it went with Dr. Neuman. Neuman is scheduling tests for Lucy, but Neuman is not overly concerned, it is more for Lucy's peace of mind. Scott has news. He's bought a house, which should give Lucy some peace. At Karen's apartment Eve shows up. Karen has changed her mind. She has no sympathy for women who sleep with married men. They verbally fight. Eve should have had respect for Devlin's wife. Happy husbands don't mess around. Eve zings Karen. She doesn't care about Devlin's wife, she is upset because her own husband slept around. Karen screams at her to get out. Eve leaves. At the Lighthouse Scotty tells Lucy it is time he gave her and Kevin some privacy and that he and Serena had their own place. Lucy knows this is right, but is still sad. Enter Kevin. Scott leaves the room. Lucy is upset about her visit to Dr. Neuman's — what if they can't have a child. Kevin hold her to comfort her. By the inside stairs of the hospital where they like to shoot scenes Devlin has found Julie. He wants to say good-bye. Julie wants to know: If the affair began and ended when Eve was in med school, why were they kissing the other day? Devlin says "it got out of hand". Devlin lies and says Eve initiated it. Julie wants to know if he's going to tell his wife, her mom. He thinks she's better off not knowing. Julie may tell, she's not sure yet. At the hospital desk Chris and Joe continue their discussion of Matt and surgery. Joe thinks Matt should be given a chance. Chris calls Grace over — he thinks there are lots of people who agree with him. He asks Grace: If you had the choice of two surgeons, one with and one without physical limitations, who would you choose? She, not being clueless, guesses this is about Matt. She says Matt is a good doctor, but she might have reservations about his performance as a surgeon. She leaves. Chris's point is made — Matt is fighting a losing battle.
