The Thursday updater has finally crawled out of the hole that she was
buried in. (Would you believe that Cooper is to blame??) Now on with this
week's fun.

Frank arrives at the nurse's station and talks to everyone's good friend
Grace.  Frank cannot believe that Julie would take off without telling him.
 He decides to report her to the police.

Meanwhile Julie is chained to a post.  Cooper is in her face.  It was very
sneaky of her to try and get away.  He does not like sneaky people.  Julie
says that someone will figure out where she is.  Cooper reminds her that
everyone thinks he is dead and, unless her friends are psychic, they will
never know where she is.

Serena and Gail are seated on Gail's couch.  Serena knows that her father
didn't kidnap her and she doesn't understand why the police don't know
this.  She is very worried about what will happen if her father can't fix
this.

In the courtroom, the judge apologizes for the long delay.  She was having
a long conference with the Assistant District Attorney about Scott's
status.  Justus, failing to object to this ex parte contact from an
unbiased source, announces his motion to have Scott regain custody.

Gail tells Serena that tomorrow is Halloween.  She can wear her costume to
school and then there's trick or treating afterwards.  Serena announces
that she is not sleeping until her father comes home.

The judge has accepted the ADa's representation that Scott would be a
greater flight risk if he had custody.  She grants limited supervised
visitation.  Justus is pleased because the ruling allows some visitation.
Scott, as might be expected, is not pleased.

At the hospital, Frank is talking to, well, interviewing, well,
cross-examining a security guard about any strange happenings the night
Julie disappeared when . . . DRUM ROLL . . . GARCIA shows up to
investigate.  Garcia explains that they usually wait to investigate a
missing adult but because of Frank's heroism at Forest Hills, Garcia made
the trip out.  Frank tells Garcia about the unidentified male voice that
called in for Julie.

[Updater's note:  Frank is suspicious because Julie didn't tell him and
another man called in.  No one else is suspicious.  Doesn't anyone find it
odd because Julie is not *allowed* to just call in and say she'll be gone
for awhile?]

Cooper tells Julie that he saw someone carving a jack-o-lantern and came up
with his idea of what to do with her.

Frank explains that Julie would not disappear the way she apparently has.
Garcia agrees to check into it.  Dr and *Mrs.* Devlin show up.

Cooper tells Julie that he doesn't intend to kill her, her intends to use
her as a model for his new plastic surgery career.  He will make her so
much more beautiful than she is.

Joe and Karen arrive at Scott's empty firehouse with pizza.  Karen
remembers that Gail is planning a Halloween party for Serena.  She calls
gail and offers to help.  Joe volunteers too.

Eve shows up with her own pizza delivery.

Scott storms in with Kevin and Lucy in tow begging him to calm down.
Lucy's cel phone rings.  It's Gail, who tells Lucy that Serena has  had a
nightmare and she needs dirty kitty.  Lucy says they are with Scott and it
will be a few minutes.  She hangs up and Scott wants to know who called.
Lucy won't tell him and he thinks something is wrong with Serena.  Lucy is
evasive which only increases his panic.  Finally she tells him it was only
a bad dream which is enough to set him off.  He insists on going to Serena
but Kevin and Lucy convince him that he can't do anything which will risk
losing her forever.

Lucy and Kevin leave and Karen and Eve talk soothingly to Scott without
sniping at each other.  Scott threatens to cut off Rex's head and put it on
a pole.

Garcia tells Frank and the parents that he needs a picture.  Frank says he
has one at home.  Ben pulls out an old one that he had in his wallet.  Mrs.
D, ever prepared, has brought several and hands him the most recent one.
Garcia, the gentleman, notes that she is very beautiful.

Beautiful Julie is asleep with her arms chained over her head to the pole.
Cooper begins photographing her.  She wakens and yells at him while he
clicks away, telling her how she is almost perfect but he can improve her.

Eve, Karen and Joe eat pizza while Scott paces.  Karen and Joe make excuses
to leave.  Eve offers to stay.  Scott refuses.  They all leave. Scott sits
alone on the steps looking pained.  [I can't imagine how horrible it would
be to be separated from my children like he is.]

Lucy comforts Serena by getting her to think about happy times while gail
and Kevin converse softly in a corner.  Gail has discovered that being a
psychiatrist is not helping her through this painful time.  [Where's Lee?
Is the actor ok????]

Back at the forehouse, Scott sees the dirty kitty that Lucy has forgotten.
He grabs it and starts to run out then stops.  We end with him unable to do
anything for his daughter.
